The observation room of the general headquarters of the Ufa campaign in the church on the bank of the Biraya River in Ufa city.

"Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, the Fourth Army of the Soviet Russian Red Army in the southeast is looking like it's going to die. They have three divisions at once. Can Sergei and Petrovich resist?" Utsunomiya Taro looked at Seeing that the opponent's artillery is mainly strengthening in the southeast direction of attack, the first-line trenches of the White Guards have been lost, and the Red Army of the three divisions flooded over, a little worried.

"The more people come, the greater the casualties will be. When our trench was built, the front was high and strong, and the back was low and loose. If they jumped into this trench, it would be like jumping into a trap, unless our artillery was killed by the opponent. Complete suppression, otherwise, do you think that a shell will explode more lethally in an open field, or explode in a crowded trench?" Wang Geng replied calmly, while continuing to look at the battlefield with his binoculars.

"Chief of Staff Wu asked for instructions on the phone, should the heavy artillery group open fire to support the southeast line of defense?" asked the combat staff behind him.

"Tell him not to move around. The enemy can only come to three divisions at this moment. Doesn't Hawkeye 4 mean that the enemy has assembled five divisions in the southeast, and they have to wait!" Wang Geng ordered disapprovingly.

"Hawkeye No. 4 reported that the enemy cavalry division on the south route has reached ten kilometers south of the highlands east of the Ural River, and the other route is marching northward. It seems that... they want to copy the rear route northeast of Ufa?"

"Eagle Eye No. 1 reported that the enemy cavalry division that detoured in the north did not go south, but marched southward 35 kilometers north of Ufa. Now it has arrived at the corner of the Belaya River and seems to be preparing to cross the river!"

"Eagle Eye No. 3 reported that it had arrived at Tetyushi and Bolgar. The main force of the Fifth Army of the Soviet Russian Red Army was crossing the river. The vanguard troops crossing the river two days ago were divided into two groups, all the way north along the Volga River and Kamala. The river is marching, and the other is going straight east"

"Eagle Eye 2 reports that the main force of the Soviet Ninth Army in Setherland and Samara is pulling out their camps, and it seems that they are already preparing to move in the direction of Ufa!"

"Your Excellency Taro, it seems that Tukhachevsky on the opposite side has put pressure on the Fifth and Ninth Army through Moscow, otherwise they would not have acted so quickly!" Wang Geng said with a smile when he heard this.upload update

"Since the main force of the Fifth Army of the Soviet Russian Eastern Front has gone south and crossed the Volga River east, can we let Kolchak attack in the direction of Kazan?" The Japanese army general obviously didn't want Kolchak to be a hands-off shopkeeper.

"It's not urgent now. The Fifth Army has just crossed the river. It's not too late to think about it after the Fifth and Ninth Armies have penetrated 100 kilometers from the right bank of the Volga River!" Wang Geng comforted his impatient deputy chief of staff!

The fighting in the northwest and southeast positions of Ufa City lasted until noon, but gradually fell silent. Tukhachevsky's 1st Army used 13 artillery companies to fight against the opponent's 1000 artillery company in the artillery battle, relying on firepower to dominate. The wind was blowing, but the three infantry regiments in charge of the attack only advanced [-] meters in front of the first position of the White Guards and began to dig individual bunkers under the cover of their own artillery and machine gun fire, gradually forming a half-deep trench. .

Obviously, Tukhachevsky, who is young but scheming, does not intend to break through the northwest defense line in one go. His real intention is to contain and attract the attention of the Ufa defenders. As for the task of breaking through the defense line, this guy is in charge The fourth army attacking in the southeast direction!

Didn't Rzhevski always boast that he fought the Allies with Brusivov on the Eastern Front and fucked up, okay!What I want is his strength, I will strengthen 10 artillery companies for you, and see if you can hide behind to prevent your main force!Yesterday my 1st Army suffered 6000 casualties, today I will see how smart your [-]th Army is!Can you win the position, and can you have fewer casualties than me!

As a result, the two sides waited until 11:1 noon, and the 1000st Army Group in the northwest was still lying in the newly dug trench and confronted the White Guards 1 meters away. As for the artillery of both sides, the cannons of the White Guards were silent. Not long after they came down, the artillery positions of the [-]st Soviet Russian Army gradually stopped, and there were not many shells left when they continued to fight. If they didn't charge, how could they waste shells in vain.

Tukhachevsky was really surprised when he received Lezhevski's battle report. The Fourth Army used three divisions to defeat the White Guards in the front line and occupied the opponent's position. Its own casualties were 4000 There are only a few people around, but the casualties of heavy machine guns and artillery are much heavier. Of the 20 artillery companies, 12 are left, and there are not many shells left. There are only two of the 4 heavy machine gun battalions.

As for the number of white guards annihilated, there are two words: unknown!

The two sides fought until noon, and Sergey refrained from using the field artillery regiment. He just used the six artillery units in his hand to deal with the opponent. Now he understood Wang Geng's intention, which was to lure the opponent's artillery After coming out, they will play the role of the field artillery regiment with lightning speed and destroy the opponent's artillery. As for the Soviet Russian infantry divisions who think they have rushed to the position and drove away the White Guards, if there is no artillery cover, then it is not enough. A lamb waiting to be slaughtered under the firepower of your own artillery? !

Of course, there are bound to be casualties in a war. One afternoon, in the artillery battle between the two sides, he destroyed a company of mountain artillery on the other side, and he also lost two companies of mountain artillery. The artillery fire of the Soviet Russian artillery was obviously sparse after the fight. It is estimated that the ammunition reserves have already become tight.

The casualties of the White Guard infantry on the second line were not large, because the Soviet Red Army did not launch a large-scale offensive after occupying the first line of trenches, and the comparison of machine gun firepower between the two sides clearly showed that the White Guards on the defensive side had a clear advantage. There were more than 100 heavy machine guns, while the Soviet Red Army on the opposite side had less than 50 left. Under the bombardment of the opponent's field artillery, the White Guard infantry in the second-line position mainly hid in the shelter to defend against the artillery, and the casualties were more in the beginning. The machine gunners who fought against the opponent's machine guns, at the end of the afternoon, the casualties of the White Guard's defense line were only 500 people.

Shortly after Tukhachevsky received Lezhevski's report on the occupation of the opponent's position, he received a call from the mixed cavalry division sent to the south road. , encountered a strong resistance from the White Guards of a regiment defending the highlands. Although the opponent had only one regiment, the firepower of the Maxim heavy machine guns was very dense, and there were at least 203 artillery battery positions on the hilltop highlands.

At the end of the telegram, it was the sad news that the commander of the mixed cavalry division was killed under the terrible and intensive artillery fire of the enemy while charging, the political commissar was seriously injured, and more than half of the entire army was killed or injured. The cavalry division asks for instructions on the next move!

Telegram signature: Acting front-line commander of the mixed cavalry division Marusky, third regiment commander of the cavalry!

Tukhachevsky took a deep breath, damn, the enemy has also set up a position on the Hedong Highlands, and there are more than 9 artillery batteries, "Would it be a lie about the military situation? Where are there so many Ufa White Guards?" Cannons and machine guns?" Yankov Gayi, the political commissar of the 1st Army Group and the Southern Group, couldn't help but asked.

"No, didn't you see that the division commander Igenov was killed and the political commissar Maradis was injured? I know the commander of the regiment, Maruski, and he won't mess around. If the Ufa White Guards really have 9 companies of artillery and Equipped with the same dense Maxim heavy machine guns as here, it is too difficult for the mixed cavalry division to take down the high ground! They lack heavy weapons, so they bring two artillery companies. "
