"Mikhail Nikolaevich, we have to stop and rest. The soldiers have been marching forcibly since 4 o'clock in the morning, and the median rest time is less than an hour. If we continue running like this, The one hundred thousand army is about to run away, and now more than one-tenth of them are left behind."

The speaker was Yankov Gayi, the political commissar of the Southern Group and the political commissar of the 1st Army Group. The team got up at 3:4 in the morning and set off at 55:3540. The speed can reach 10 minutes, and it is absolutely impossible to run 8 five kilometers in a row. The main ten divisions of the southern group set off from near Chernigovka, and they have marched for 30 hours by noon, except for the two times in the middle. After resting for 7.8 minutes each, the walking march has reached [-] kilometers per hour, which is considered to be quite fast.

"Our current location is in Milna. Yazikovo, ten kilometers to the east, has good terrain conditions, but it is too close to Ufa. Milna is ten kilometers far away, but the terrain is low in the west and high in the east. It’s not good for defense, I’m worried about camping here.” Tukhachevsky, the commander of the Southern Group of the Soviet Russian Eastern Front and the commander of the First Army, with a beard and a thin face, raised his head from the map spread on the small table. Looking at my political commissar bubble-book_)

"Reporting a call from the Fourth Army Headquarters in Chernigovka." A staff officer of the headquarters dragged a telegram outside the door and loudly reported that as soon as the troops stopped, the headquarters' radio was switched on, but a message from Rzhevsky was received. urgent call

Tukhachevsky rushed over and snatched the telegram, unfolded it,

"To the Command of the Southern Group, Tukhachevsky,

Our department brought back 4000 lightly and seriously wounded from Ufa early this morning, and organized the lightly wounded to issue weapons. Together with the Uralsk Infantry Division, they contracted and established a circular defense line, and then repelled the Ufa White Guards A cavalry brigade of the Cossacks attacked, and the soldiers and wounded were still in a stable mood, but it was observed that two cavalry divisions of the Ufa White Guard pursued in the direction where the main force of the group was retreating.”

"At this moment, our department has been surrounded by about four divisions of the Ufa White Guard infantry division. The coalition aircraft that appeared above our heads passed two squadrons. There was an armored battalion of coalition forces passing by both sides of the position before. After asking about the casualties of the cavalry division, When the [-]st Cavalry Division of the [-]th Army was defeated yesterday, the opponent dispatched about a ground force with a reinforced armored regiment, the firepower and mobility were quite strong, and the opponent's air force also cooperated to sweep and bomb the cavalry division."

"Our department will stand by and wait for help according to the previous combat plan. However, considering that the coalition forces have officially entered the war in Ufa, the specific number of troops dispatched is unknown, but the combat power is quite strong. Therefore, I suggest that the Front Revolutionary Committee of the Southern Group formulate the next step. When planning a battle, don’t focus on the safety of more than 3 people in our army, but should focus on the fate and future of the main force of the Southern Group and the Fifth and Ninth Group Armies.”

"All for the Soviet

Fourth Army, Rzhevski

July 1918, 7 in Chernigovka"

After reading the telegram, Tukhachevsky, Maxin, Kharchenko, Heveshin and his political commissar Yankovgay all had serious expressions on their faces. To the back of the left, the guy couldn't help saying,

"The coalition forces have officially joined the war? How strong are they? Why did Rzhevsky ask us not to worry about the Chernigovka cluster? Don't we kill them back to Ufa to save them? They only have food and weapons for four days We are short of ammunition, and we absolutely cannot leave them alone." The Political Commissar of the Fourth Army and Rzhevsky's old partner Heveshin shouted emotionally

Tukhachevsky frowned. What was buzzing in his mind was the news that the coalition forces had officially entered the war. He was afraid of something. The reconnaissance planes were flying in the sky and buzzing like flies all day long. It's very difficult to send out ground troops in a blatant manner and launch an attack in an open and coordinated manner.

"For instructions, Comrade Commander Moscow, on the issue of fighting against the coalition forces, our southern group cannot make decisions without authorization," political commissar Yankovgay suggested

"What do you think?" Tukhachevsky turned to Maxin and his political commissar Kharchenko.

Ma Xin said with a bitter face, "No wonder the Ufa White Guards fought so confidently two days ago. It turns out that the coalition forces have officially intervened in the battle in the direction of Ufa, so our combat targets are completely different. We have to ask Moscow for instructions on this matter."

"Didn't Rzhevsky say how many troops the coalition forces have in Ufa? How will we answer when Moscow asks?" Kharchenko, the political commissar of the Second Army, was more thoughtful and couldn't help reminding

Tukhachevsky looked down at the telegram in his hand, raised his head and said, "The coalition air force dispatched a squadron of fighter jets and a squadron of reconnaissance bombers, 36 aircraft, ground troops, I guess the heavy artillery in Ufa city The group must be the artillery of the coalition army. Yesterday in the ground battle on the Ural River, the opponent dispatched a reinforced armored regiment to defeat the first cavalry division."

"In this case, the coalition forces have at least one division in Ufa. The main force of the coalition forces is the Chinese participating army. One of their reorganized divisions has a 54-caliber heavy artillery regiment with 150 guns and a divisional armored regiment equipped with 120 vehicles. "Wheeled armored combat vehicle" said Ma Xin, chief of staff of the group and commander of the Second Army, frowning.

"Did the coalition army only dispatch one division in Ufa? Then what are we afraid of? After the round with the fifth and ninth armies, we will turn around and fight back to Ufa. Our strength is at least three times that of the opponent. If you don’t dare to fight, the Eastern Front can be wiped out from the establishment. We will be so scared that we dare not go back to rescue and throw Rzhevsky’s 3 people to the enemy. The Soviet will not forgive us.” Fourth Army political commissar Hevezin gritted his teeth

"The telegram said that the White Guards dispatched two cavalry divisions to chase them over. Ma Xin, how about we ambush him? If the ten infantry divisions of the southern group are driven around by the other two cavalry divisions, then we still have face Do you want to be the commander and chief of staff of the political commissar?" Tukhachevsky changed his mind and turned his mind on the pursuers.

"But the enemy situation of the Ufa coalition army is unknown. Shouldn't we continue to go west to join the fifth and ninth armies?" Ma Xin, the chief of staff, said hesitantly. The reason why he urged the main force of the cluster to retreat westward yesterday

"The soldiers drove nearly 60 kilometers in one breath. The sun is so poisonous at the moment, and the team will be scattered if we continue to retreat. Whether we continue to retreat or turn around and attack the opponent's ambush, we have to stop and rest first. We are hungry. The front of the chest is stuck to the back. Last night because of the secrecy, I didn’t dare to ask the kitchen to prepare dry food. Now it’s time to bury the pot and cook.” The group’s political commissar Yankov Gayi’s attitude is very firm.

As a political commissar, he has the responsibility to think about the soldiers. He just stopped and rested for a while, and many soldiers couldn't get up because they were tired and hungry. It was noon. The sun is so hot, the mouth is dry, the tongue is dry and the mind is dizzy

"The reconnaissance plane of the coalition forces found us three hours ago. Since the coalition forces have joined the battle, why didn't they launch a ground attack to slow down our retreat? Why did they just hover over the Rzhevski position without launching an attack? What is the idea of ​​the coalition forces?" Kharchenko, political commissar of the Second Army, couldn't help but also raised his own doubts

"Now it is basically confirmed that the commander-in-chief of the opponent in the Ufa battle must have been sent by the coalition forces. Maybe it is the legendary king of China. Otherwise, we will not be allowed to take back 24000 lightly and severely wounded, and we will not just let us go. The reconnaissance plane is staring at us and does not launch an attack. I can't guess the train of thought of the coalition commander at all, but guessing is useless. Let's do as the political commissar said. Let's stop and bury the pot to cook and rest for a while."
