Beiyang 1917

Chapter 296

It is interesting to say that Chapayev, the commander of the 1st Cavalry Division under Tukhachevsky, is very interesting, because his division is the vanguard and reconnaissance for the entire army. Besides, everyone is mainly Cossack cavalry, so Chapayev and Markov got along pretty well. When the 13th Cavalry Division set off in the middle of the night, Chapayev specially assigned a cavalry squad from his own reconnaissance battalion to serve as a guide for Markov's division, and personally Sent Markov out of the village entrance of the resident **bubble! book*

Markov sent the divisional reconnaissance battalion as the vanguard of the division to set off half an hour earlier, and the main force of the division lined up one by one, groping forward in the dark night along the rough roads and fields to the northwest. The cavalry team of more than 8000 people formed into four Formed in a column, the team stretched forward and backward for nearly 4 kilometers, like a winding snake in the dark night, groping forward in line with the goal ahead

At the same time, the 1st Cavalry Division and the Mixed Cavalry Division of the [-]st Army of the Rzhevsky Fourth Army were also moving southeast of Ufa, but they had a long way to go. They have to go south in the dark for more than fifty kilometers, then cross the Ural River at dawn, then go north, and come back around fifty kilometers, if they can cross the river smoothly

In the dark night sky, the Hawkeye-3000 air pre-warning plane of the coalition forces did not find Tukhachevsky, the troop detoured from the south to the north. Whenever the sound of the plane engine came from the sky, the cavalry of the Red Army The division will stop and wait for the plane to go far before continuing to move. If there is a moon, it may be difficult to avoid the pre-alert plane patrolling the night sky at [-] meters, but that day happened to be a moonless night.

This night was a sleepless night for Tu and Chevsky. As long as one of these two detour forces succeeds, they can create conditions for victory for the upcoming offensive the next day. The circuitous 13th Cavalry Division was obviously used as a bait and a victim. Even if it could cross the railway line, not far to the east is the meandering Trent Belaya River. It is simply a fantasy to capture Ufa or go north to resist the White Guards in the direction of Cherny

Tukhachevsky actually put the treasure on the two cavalry divisions that detoured on the south road. First, he knew that Lezhevsky's first cavalry division had a strong combat effectiveness and was familiar with the road south of Ufa. The flanking troops of the army originally came from the south and north along the west bank of the Ufa River.

The second is that judging from the battle that day, Lezhevsky's Fourth Army faced the enemy with their backs and was not strong enough to fight. If they increase their firepower tomorrow to suppress the opponent, it is very likely that they will break through the opponent's southeast line of defense. Of course, some necessary means of luring the enemy must be adopted to mobilize the defense of the White Guards

It should be said that the luck of Tukhachevsky and his Soviet Red Army Eastern Army South Group was not too bad this time. At dawn the next day, the 13th Cavalry Division on the North Road was the first to send a telegram. After marching in the dark in the middle of the night, the division finally did not go in the wrong direction. Now it has arrived at a place 35 kilometers west of the town of Sharipovo, 2 kilometers northwest of Ufa. The troops have rested for half an hour. In the past, ask whether it is possible to launch an attack to intercept the railway

Tukhachevsky hurriedly called back, requesting to sneak over the railway as soon as possible. In order to avoid alarming the enemy, he just sneaked over and did not attack or explode. The main force marched eastward and then south covertly, waited for the opportunity, and waited for the main force of the group to attack the northwest defense group of Ufa, and then outflanked it from the flanks

The wishful thinking of the Southern Group is actually that the 13th Cavalry Division will block the railway line [-] kilometers northwest of Ufa, so that the Ufa defenders will rush to the rescue along the railway line, which will attract Ufa defenders. At the same time, it also dealt a heavy blow to the morale. Then the main force of the own group army launched an attack on the northwest group defense line, trying to win the opponent's position.

As for the 13th Cavalry Division, if necessary, it can not only disrupt the enemy's rear, but also find an opportunity to jump over the railway line and retreat back. Of course, if the Ufa garrison guards the railway bridge, the cavalry division will not be able to cross the wide Belaya River north of Ufa city. higher

Not long after the telegram from the 13th Cavalry Division, the two cavalry divisions in charge of the detour on the south road also sent a telegram, and they had arrived at the ferry [-] kilometers southeast of Ufa. The plan is to move towards Ufa after crossing the river. I would like to ask if the troops can be divided into two groups. One cavalry division will go straight to the southern suburbs of Ufa to snatch the highlands east of the Ural River, and the other will go around the long way and go straight to the northeast of Ufa City, trying to find a way to intercept the incoming vehicles. Lyabinsk to Ufa railway line

"Nima, this must be a plan that Lezhevsky himself came up with to divide the troops. This guy doesn't want to make it clear in advance, but his idea is not bad.

Good agreement with their combat plan, the mixed cavalry division went north after crossing the river, quickly seized the high ground east of the Ural River, established artillery positions, and bombarded the White Guards on the high ground west of the river. Launch an attack to cut off the Trans-Siberian Railway." Tukhachevsky, who was almost up all night, gave the order with bloodshot eyes

In the early morning of July 1918, 7, the church on the bank of the Biraya River in Ufa City, the former enemy headquarters of the coalition forces

"Report, Hawkeye 1 spotted a cavalry unit of the Soviet Red Army about 5 kilometers northwest of Ufa five minutes ago. There are about one division's strength. They are sneaking across the railway line at the moment, and it is expected to be over soon."

"Report, Hawkeye 2 spotted a cavalry unit of the Soviet Red Army near Berezovka, 5 kilometers southeast of Ufa, about [-] minutes ago. There are about two divisions, and they are forcibly crossing the Ural River through the ferry."

Wang Geng, who was woken up by the staff officer on duty, rubbed his bleary sleepy eyes. This is the report of Major General Tian Jun who also had bloodshot eyes and was on duty all night.

"Well, this Tukhachevsky is really impatient, I thought he would have to let the troops rest for one night before taking action, and now he is running so far in the middle of the night to engage in roundabout tactics?

According to my order, all the armored trains in Ufa went north along the railway line to block the cavalry division in the north, and the armored train named Czerny also moved closer to that position. Hawkeye 1 kept tracking from the air and notified the division's movements at any time. A regiment of the Fifth White Guard Infantry Division is going to defend the Ufa Northwest Railway Bridge, as long as they hold the pre-set position along the bridge head, they are not allowed to cross the bridge and are not allowed to pursue.”

"Ask Eagle Eye 2 to continue to the Ural defense line to perform aerial reconnaissance and early warning missions. Hawk Eye 4 takes off and is responsible for reconnaissance on the eastern and southern battlefields of Ufa. The focus is on the movements of the two cavalry divisions. Order the air team to prepare for the attack um, transfer Xiong Shihui's divisional armored regiment to the northeast of Ufa City to be in charge of vigilance."

While Wang Geng received the hot towel from the orderly and woke up, he ordered:

"Eagle Eye 3 reported that the Soviet Red Army in the southwest of Ufa has begun to line up, and the cannons of about 20 artillery companies are moving to the front line from 2 kilometers behind."

"Notify the Northwest Group and the Southeast Group that the Soviet Red Army may launch an attack in the morning, and tell them to prepare for battle. The frontline troops should not pass a division, and the enemy should be brought closer before fighting. Especially that Sergey, strengthen the troops for him. The Field Artillery Regiment should stay behind, and beat them up after the opponent's artillery has been exposed."

Not long after, Utsunomiya Taro, the deputy chief of staff of the coalition forces who got the news, went directly to the observation room of the bell tower, while Wu Peifu had already gone to the heavy artillery brigade to take command. After a while, the Northwest Group b. Sergey's phone calls were connected one after another, and the phone calls of the Hedong Highland Defense Force who went there last night were also connected in turn. The White Guards in various positions on the defense line were gearing up to prepare for the upcoming attack by the Soviet Russian Red Army.
