Beiyang 1917

Chapter 293

"Call back and tell Li Mingzhong not to be in a hurry. The fastest attack will be after noon tomorrow. After that, we will attack all the way along the road to Orenburg in the south. From Sterlitamak to the south, the main force of the Soviet Fourth Army will be There are no troops left, and starting tomorrow afternoon, he must go all the way south to continue to recover the towns of Ishimbai, Salawat, Merleuz, and Kumertao*book*(

Well, Orenburg is also left to the South Route Army to clean up. Where is Sun Liangcheng's Southern Detachment Ranger now?Have you reached the outskirts of the Urals yet? " Wang Geng continued to ask

"Sun Liangcheng's detachment left a regiment lurking in the southeast of Orenburg, and the rest of the main force has arrived ten kilometers northwest of the Urals, and is waiting for your order," Tian Jun quickly replied

"Commander-in-Chief, did Li Mingzhong's South Route Army send a brigade to turn around and go north, in case Tukhachevsky sent cavalry to turn around from the south?" Wu Peifu was a little anxious

"No, Li Mingzhong's troops continue to move southward, take Kumertau, and set up a position there. The pockets on the southern front are first set up at the position of Kumertau in Orenburg. Sun Liangcheng's department is ordered to take the Urals tomorrow afternoon. According to the aircraft reconnaissance No matter whether it is Ural or Orenburg, there are only some scattered local units of the Soviet Russian Red Army. The main force of the Fourth Army of the Southern Group has all arrived in Ufa, so tell him to fight decisively.”

Wang Geng turned around a few times and decided to make a big bag, if it weren't for the fact that Stellitamak, Ishimbai, Salavat, and Merleuz all went south to Kumertau and Orenburg The only way to go, this guy may not let Li Mingzhong win these places

"Admiral Wu, you don't need to be too anxious. Your Excellency the Commander-in-Chief has already predicted the possibility of the enemy's detour from the south, but the Ufa River over there is wide and fast, and Tukhachevsky's cavalry is absolutely impossible Fording and forcing the crossing, from the map, if they really detoured from the south, they would have to travel [-] kilometers south to find a suitable ferry. By that time, the daylily might be cold,” Army General Taro Utsunomiya said in a relaxed tone.

"Deputy Chief of Staff Wu, what I'm thinking about is to let the other party take a long way to cross the river. We will wait for him in Ufa Yiyi. The core position of the southeast defense line of Ufa is the high ground in Hexi, which is Sergey's headquarters. Where they are located, after they detoured to Hedong, the only thing that could threaten Sergei and Petrovich was the highland in Hedong, which was about five kilometers away, unless they brought heavy artillery, they would not be able to use their strength at all.”

Wang Geng was obviously a little cautious in the calculation and use of troops, and he didn't intend to scatter the main force of the coalition forces to expose their strength prematurely, and let Tukhachevsky's cavalry take a long way from the south to cross two roads. The river turns around later, and it will not be so easy for him to cross the river if he wants to retreat.

"This highland is less than 8 kilometers away from your heavy artillery group in Ufa City. If Tukhachevsky deploys artillery here to threaten our defense line in Hexi, I am afraid that it will be difficult to transport the artillery. Going up, I can’t bear your 150mm heavy artillery bombardment, and if necessary, we can dispatch the air force at any time. At that time, I’m afraid that the cavalry that Tukhachevsky rounded over will have no place to run.”

The commander-in-chief of the coalition forces wanted to dispel Wu Peifu's doubts. Penetration and detours are Wu Peifu's third division's specialty, so he is particularly concerned about whether the opponent will use this move. If he knows that the opponent will use this move, then he will think about what to do. Make a pocket for people to drill, and then catch them all

If his Third Army is defending the Ufa southeast group position, then he is not worried at all. The problem is that the combat effectiveness of the White Guards and volunteers defending there is still weak. If there are a large number of enemy cavalry behind the position, I am afraid. At that time, if the team shakes this line, it will collapse.

"Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, I looked at the map carefully. If we can defend this highland east of the river, it will be of great help to protect the flanks of the southeast cluster. Assuming the opponent is a cavalry unit to detour, it will certainly not be too much trouble." More heavy weapons, I think you may wish to consider General Wu’s suggestion, if possible, we can send an infantry regiment to strengthen a field artillery regiment to guard this high ground, what do you think?”

Utsunomiya Taro saw that it was almost time for fire, so he finally took the initiative to invite Ying, and wanted to send troops to guard this highland. The Imperial Japanese Army has his own honor. Now the limelight has been taken away by the Ufa White Guards and Volunteer Division, which makes the Japanese coach Anxiously find some opportunities for my subordinate Erlang to show off

"Well, if you don't want to send out the air force, it is still very deterrent to build an artillery position on this high ground, but there are too many people and it is easy to scare the opponent's detour troops. Your Excellency Taro, let the Japanese army also exercise their muscles and bones. Otherwise, all the good things will be taken by the Russian comrades. We will send a Japanese field artillery regiment and a Japanese infantry brigade to go up overnight, and I will strengthen the mobile force of a Chinese armored battalion for you. What do you think of the deployment of a regiment of troops from the White Guards division?"

Before Wang Geng finished speaking, Utsunomiya Taro had no time to agree with the beaming smile, Wu Peifu couldn't help but yelled, "Hey, Commander-in-Chief, this is my idea, and Taro's subordinates can grab this job." Go? I still want to capture a few big Don River horses to ride.”

"Hey, Deputy Chief of Staff Wu, you can't argue with me about this. Whether it's the South Route Army, the North Route Army, or the ranger of Sun Liangcheng, our Japanese Army has no complaints about helping you. You don't have any complaints about such a small hilltop position." You still want to rob me, you are too mean." Utsunomiya waved his hand and shouted angrily

Wu Peifu still wants to fight, Wang Geng waved his hands and said, "There are battles, there is no need to fight at the moment, the Japanese Army has its strengths and characteristics of hard work, your Third Army can learn from others, remember to learn a few tricks , It is said that playing defense is gnawing bones. I have never seen anyone who doesn’t want to eat meat but just wants to gnaw bones. The Third Army is ready, and you may be transferred to the battle at any time and you will not be able to catch up with Tukhachevsky. fight with people"

Only then did Wu Peifu calm down. For Wang Geng, Ufa itself is now a big barracks. He doesn't want to be smashed by those Kolchak's altars and jars, but Utsunomiya and Wu Peifu are both a little The master who refuses to suffer, knows that Tukhachevsky is likely to send troops to outflank, instead of responding, pretending to be nonchalant and waiting for someone to come to his door, this will drive these two people crazy

So in the end, Wang Geng gave in and sent troops to occupy the high ground. It was also a choice to form horns with Hexi Sergei and the others. Cannons or something, let’s beat him with heavy artillery and the air force. You guys are going to win the positional battle right now, but don’t be rushed up to the high ground and hand over your cannons when the cavalry swarms. Dare to tear down Ma Su's work"

"Your Excellency Commander-in-Chief Hay, don't worry, with the armored battalion you strengthened, no cavalry can rush up. 40 fd12.7ii wheeled armored combat vehicles equipped with 17mm caliber heavy machine guns are lined up. With the accompanying firepower of the vehicle-mounted infantry, those who can charge up are not cavalry, they must be flying talents with long wings." Utsunomiya Taro stood at attention with a big belly, and said confidently

"What's so strange about this is that if I change my people to guard, I don't need any field artillery regiments or infantry brigades. I will lead an armored regiment to guard the high ground. I won't be called Wu Peifu if I don't beat my opponent to pieces." The deputy chief of staff of the coalition army said reluctantly from the side

"Deputy Chief of Staff Wu, sincerity and solidarity are more important than anything else. The coalition forces need constant adaptation and improvement. At the same time, they have to help Kolchak's White Guards improve their combat level and capabilities. That's why they are called the coalition forces, and that's why they are used together. It is the Infantry Division of the White Guards. Their ability to dig trenches is no worse than your Third Army. Working together is the end of the coalition's construction. Have you taught me both the Russian version and the Russian version?"

Wang Geng's complexion changed. If it is really possible to integrate the coalition forces into a joint combat force regardless of nationality and arms in a short period of time, the difficulty is not so small. Both trust and friendship need to be honed in battle and fight side by side. After sharing life and death together, it slowly emerged and grew. The three parts of the current coalition forces, China, Japan and Russia, are actually only in the initial stage of running-in.

"Commander-in-Chief, when will this defensive battle be considered ready? Old Wu, I always have the feeling that I can't do it when I'm fighting a mouse in a porcelain shop." Wu Peifu asked with a grin

"That's right, Commander-in-Chief, follow me. Our entire army is outflanked, and the sky air force is bombarding intensively. In less than three days, we will be able to wipe out 10,000+ people in front of Tukhachevsky. Why bother to miss the opportunity to make dumplings for the two reinforcements?" Utsunomiya Taro slapped his thigh and also complained.
