Beiyang 1917

Chapter 319 Enemy

There was a bit of bitterness in Tukhachevsky's tone. He had always deliberately maintained his tall image as a calm and composed commander of the cluster. In the past three days, he had been almost wiped out by a series of blows. A chief of staff and a political commissar or something, the ideas that come out in a hurry at a critical moment are really useful, and now the political commissar's advice to stop is more realistic

"Comrade Ma Xin, Comrade Herveythin, the main force of the Southern Group is staying here for the time being. You two have to work hard. Take two divisions from the headquarters and lie in ambush by the roadside two kilometers to the east. Let's see if we can fight the chasing ones." An ambush by the cavalry division, I will command the whole group of artillery to support you, pay attention to concealment, and at the same time let the soldiers have a full meal."

Tukhachevsky decided to use the four infantry divisions of the Second Army and the Fourth Army to fight an ambush, and he commanded five divisions to station in Milna. At the same time, he set up positions of 17 artillery companies at the north and south ends of the town, Let the Chabayev Cavalry Division of the First Army prepare to outflank the opponent's rear, and plan to teach the white guard cavalry division that is chasing after them

At the same time, in the name of the Frontline Revolutionary Committee of the Southern Group, report to Moscow the current location of the Southern Group, report that the coalition forces have officially entered the war, that the size of the ground force is not less than one division, and that the aviation team has at least two squadrons, and at the same time report to Rzhevs The base group called back, asking them to stick to the end and wait for the main force of the South Group and the Fifth and Ninth Army to never let go of the life and death of their 3 people

"The main force of Tukhachevsky's southern cluster retreated from Ufa City to Milna, probably less than a point between Ufa and October Town, 75 kilometers from Ufa and 90 kilometers from October Town to the west. The South Group telegram said that the Allied Forces had already invested ground armor and air forces in the Battle of Ufa, and Tukhachevsky asked for instructions on the next course of action." Sdrviyov walked into the conference room quickly, holding with a telegram just received

"What's going on? Didn't Zhong Yang order the South Group to form a defensive line on the spot yesterday and continue to attack and take Ufa after the reinforcements from the Fifth and Ninth Army Groups? Why did they withdraw so far without authorization today?" Kamenev heard. The first one to jump up, this guy never forgets his position as the commander of the Eastern Front Army, so any news from the Eastern Front Army can touch his nerves

"Did the Allied Powers dispatch ground troops and air teams in Ufa? How many troops are there? Who is the commander?" Trotsky strode over and snatched the telegram from Sdrviyov and hurriedly read it.

Ulyanov had just finished approving a pile of documents and walked into the large conference room from his office next door. Seeing everyone nervously surrounding Trotsky who was reading the telegram, he scratched his head involuntarily and shouted,

"What's the matter? Where's the bad news? Has Petrograd or Tsaritsyn been attacked by the enemy again?"

"Comrade Ulyanov, the situation is very serious. The bad news comes from the direction of Ufa. The Southern Group of the Eastern Front Tukhachevsky was repelled under the city of Ufa. Now the group has withdrawn to Mir, 75 kilometers away from Ufa. Nazhen, the coalition forces of the Allied Powers have appeared on the front line of Ufa. Yesterday, the coalition forces used a reinforced armored regiment to wipe out the [-]st Cavalry Division of the Fourth Army, with the support of the coalition air force.”

Trotsky quickly finished reading the telegram, and while passing the telegram to Kamenev who was crowded beside him, he raised his head and said solemnly:

"Repulsed? How is it possible? How many troops did the Allied Powers dispatch in Ufa? The main force of Tukhachev's Southern Group still has at least a dozen divisions." Ulyanov was startled by the sudden bad news Jump, Gorky came to him in the morning and pleaded with a professor who harbored the Menshevik opposition. Anyway, Ulyanov blocked him back. The answer was clear,

"No matter how this professor covered our comrades in the past, now he is covering our enemies, so he is the enemy, and the arrest action taken by the Cheka is very correct. That's it, my old friend, we must keep our eyes open." Ulyanov dismissed his old friend with a disappointed face and heavy steps like this

"According to the judgment of the Revolutionary Military Committee of the Front Front of the Southern Group, the Allied Forces should have dispatched at least one division's troops on the Ufa battlefield, because a large-caliber heavy artillery regiment in Ufa city participated in the defensive operation yesterday, and like the armored regiment, all The size of the combat unit air force under the division of the coalition army and the Chinese participating army is unknown. It is estimated that there are no less than three squadrons of combat aircraft, and there should be more than [-] aircraft in total."

Trotsky frowned and replied, what he was afraid of would happen. Although he couldn't see Tukhachevsky's arrogance and stepping up to the sky with Ulyanov's thick legs in his arms, he didn't care about this young Red Army soldier. He does not doubt the general's military talent. If Tukhachevsky withdraws, it means that the situation on the front line is already very tense and dangerous

"The Southern Group did not retreat completely. Rzhevsky led three divisions of the Fourth Army, a cavalry regiment, and five heavy machine gun battalions. They are still stationed in Chernigovka, but they have been surrounded by the enemy." Kamenev clapped the telegram in his hand and screamed

"Oh? Why is this? Rzhevsky is still holding on to the front line, but the main force of the group, ten divisions, ran out for more than 50 kilometers in one go?" Ulyanov is not stupid. Hearing this, he felt that this was strange

"The telegram didn't say anything specific. It seems that Rzhevsky asked to stay and defend against the attack of the Ufa White Guards. Moreover, the Fourth Army had a lot of wounded and couldn't withdraw quickly, so they didn't withdraw at all. This is just waiting for help." Kamenev studied the telegram in his hand for a long time and came to a conclusion

"It must be the problem of the wounded. The forced retreat of more than 50 kilometers in half a day, not to mention the wounded, even ordinary uninjured soldiers are exhausted enough. Rzhevski is doing well. He must have brought two divisions to stay to protect the lightly and seriously wounded. Stand by and wait for help." Trotsky explained without losing the opportunity. Although Lezhevsky is not his direct descendant, he is a general brought out by Brusivov himself.

"Comrade Ulyanov, Comrade Trotsky, the Central Committee members have just received the news that the Urals have fallen." It was Dzerzhinsky who opened the door and rushed in, holding a copy of the Southern Army forwarded Telegram

Ural was originally the city recovered by the Fourth Army of the Eastern Front. After the Fourth Army went north to Ufa, only a few local troops were left to maintain it. The Cheka’s intelligence network there was relatively weak. Ural was attacked by the Allied Forces Sun Liangcheng last night. The flag of the autonomous republican army was taken down in one fell swoop and the news was blocked

At this moment, the local garrison in Ershov, 18 kilometers west of the Urals, got the news from the refugees who fled back, and then sent an urgent report to the Southern Front Command, which then forwarded the telegram to Moscow. Only then did everyone know that the Urals had fallen [-] hours ago

"Ural? Where is this going? Did Denikin's troops from the North Caucasus detour and seize the Ural?" Trotsky couldn't believe his ears. The Ural was recovered by the Fourth Army in the last battle to defend Tsaritsyn. Yes, the local Cossack White Guards retreated southwest to the North Caucasus, how could they fight back so quickly?

"It's not the enemy in the North Caucasus. According to our people who escaped from the Urals, it's the cavalry unit under the banner of the Kazakh Alash Autonomous Republic. It seems that there are at least two cavalry divisions or even more in number." Dzerzhinsky looked telegram in hand

"Alash Autonomous Republic of Kazakhstan, how dare they attack the Urals blatantly? How strong are they? The entire Kazakh steppe is less than three cavalry divisions," Kamenev yelled, waving his fists aside.

"It's no secret that the Alash Autonomous Republic has been supporting Kolchak's regime since it declared du li last year. I think it may be because we concentrated our main force on attacking Ufa. Kolchak panicked, no I know why this ally on the southern grasslands was moved to attack the Urals, trying to distract us and lead our troops to be deployed in the direction of Ufa." Zinoviev, who had been silent all this time, said unhurriedly.

Sdrviyov pondered for a moment when he heard the words, and couldn't help asking, "Could it be that the Allied forces dispatched in the southeast to occupy the Urals?"
