Beiyang 1917

Chapter 323

Moscow's response to the situation on the front line and the strongly worded telegram shocked the entire Soviet Russian Eastern and Southern Fronts. Tukhachevsky never expected that the defeated Rzhevsky would become a lone hero. And he, who led the army to retreat, became a rat crossing the street, and was actually dismissed from the post of commander of the southern cluster

Holding the telegram in his hand, Tukhachevsky seemed to be ten years older all of a sudden, his beard stubble looked haggard and lonely, and the political commissar Yankov Gayi felt uncomfortable, and he didn't know How to comfort my commander, he said for a long time,

"Mikhail Nikolaevich, don't feel too uncomfortable. Moscow doesn't know much about the situation on the front line. They don't know how powerful the coalition's aircraft and artillery are. Fortunately, you are still our number one. Commander of the group army, our first group army still has a chance to make a comeback."

Tukhachevsky sat on the chair dejectedly, his eyes were a little dull, as if he didn't hear the words of the political commissar at all, this guy felt a thousand and ten thousand regrets in his heart that he shouldn't be so anxious to lead the team to withdraw after listening to Ma Xin's words, or Now that they have withdrawn here, they should not ask Moscow for instructions on the next move. Instead, they should confidently flaunt themselves as a way to lure the snake out of the hole to lure the enemy into the depths. gun, annihilating the main force of the pursuing Ufa enemy army in one fell swoop

I made a mistake. Could it be that I was really intimidated by the coalition forces of the Allied Powers?Tukhachevsky's heart is full of self-blame and bitterness. He failed the trust of comrades Sdrviyov and Ulyanov, and failed the expectations of the Moscow Central Committee for him, a young Red Army general.

"Is there a telegram from Moscow? How to say, is there any instruction on the direction of Moscow for the next move?" Hearing the news, Ma Xin rode back from the ambush site with a face full of dust and sweat, in the field two kilometers away by the roadside Lie on the ground for an hour, but he didn't see the Ufa Cossack cavalry division chasing over, and rushed back after receiving the letter

Tukhachevsky silently stuffed the telegram in Ma Xin's hand, and said with difficulty, "Congratulations, Comrade Ma Xin, you have been appointed by Moscow as the acting commander of the Southern Group of the Eastern Front Army. I went to the position of the commander of the Southern Group** bubble! The book* is good, I will take the first army and return to Ufa, and I will never die."

"What?" Ma Xin, the chief of staff of the Southern Group and the commander of the Second Army, was taken aback when he heard the words. He snatched back the telegram and finished reading it. He raised his head and said, "Mikhail Nikolaevich, from the city of Ufa When I retreated, how could I withdraw you? No, I will send a telegram to Moscow to take the blame. At least the leadership of the southern group will bear the blame, and my responsibility is greater than yours.”

Saying that, Ma Xin turned his head and was about to go out.

"Stop and come back, Comrade Maxin, Moscow has decided to let Comrade Sderviyov be the commander of the Southern Cluster. I think this decision is correct. As the commander of the Southern Cluster, I must of course take full responsibility for the previous situation of the Southern Cluster. Moscow is right. No matter how badly Rzhevsky fought, he and his men held their positions [-] kilometers southwest of Ufa and did not surrender. We took the main force back so far without asking for instructions. We feel ashamed."

Tukhachevsky stopped Ma Xin, who was in a hurry. In his opinion, the day lily would be cold when Sdrviyov came to take office, so the battle had to be fought by the South Group itself, and Ma Xin was the chief of staff of the group. He cooperated quite well with himself when he was in the army, and now he serves as the acting commander of the cluster. In fact, he gave the command of the southern cluster a chance to redeem his sins. As long as the Rzhevsky cluster is rescued, even if Ufa City is not captured, The Southern Cluster can also remain invincible

"Mikhail Nikolaevich Moscow is really ignorant of the situation. Now that the Ufa coalition forces have officially entered the war, we must be cautious. You should not be responsible for the retreat alone." Ma Xin caught Zhu Tu and Chevsky's arms, sincerely said

"It's useless to say these things. We are old buddies. We have cooperated quite well before. Don't worry, I am still the commander of the First Army. I will fight the next battle under the leadership of you, the acting commander of the group. Moscow Instruct the Southern Front Army to send the Tenth Army to bring food, grass and ammunition for reinforcements, we can no longer retreat westward indiscriminately this time, how is it, has the White Guard cavalry division in Ufa caught up?"

Tukhachevsky thumped Ma Xin on the shoulder, and changed the topic to the ambush he had arranged before, but his tone was still the tone of the group commander's boss. After he finished speaking, he felt that he should adjust his mentality and put his position in the right place.

Ma Xin didn't take it seriously, stomping his feet and said, "The bastards of the Ufa White Guard Cavalry Division haven't caught up until now. I have sent the Army Cavalry Scout Lian Shun to go back to scout on the same road and see where they stopped. If something doesn’t work, bring the other party over.”

"That's a good idea, Comrade Ma Xin. You are now the acting commander of the cluster. You and political commissar Yankov stay at the cluster headquarters to command the overall situation. I will personally go to the ambush position of the Second Army to instruct you not to fight with me, even if you give it to my brother." How about a chance for me to make amends? That's it."

As Tukhachevsky said, he grabbed the military cap from the table and put it on, saluted Ma Xin, turned around and left the room, and shouted directly outside the room, "The Jingwei Battalion will stay to protect the group headquarters, listen Commander Ma Xin and the political commissar, follow me one after another, and we will teach the white guards who are chasing us a lesson."

"Commander Ma Xin, you can let him go. It's good for him to fight a battle, and let's stay in the headquarters to hold him back." Yankov Gayi, political commissar of the group, grabbed him. Ma Xin who went out to stay

The main force of the Southern Group of the Eastern Front Army of the Soviet Russian Red Army is currently located in the town of Milna, 75 kilometers west of Ufa. In order to fight an ambush by the pursuing White Guards Cossack cavalry division, a pocket formation was set up on both sides of the mainland two kilometers east of the town. Ambushed the strength of two divisions, ready to clean up the Ufa White Guard cavalry division that was chasing after them

Besides, the Cossack cavalry division that came after Ufa, Petrovich and Sergei were both officials, and the cavalry division expanded from one division to two divisions. The Second Cavalry Army bypassed the Rzhevsky group defense line in Chernigovka, and then pursued all the way west

It took less than two hours for the cavalry division to complete the [-]-kilometer journey. However, the order given by the coalition headquarters was for them to cover the western retreat of the Soviet Fourth Army left behind in Chernigovka. They also asked them to follow and chase and bite the buttocks of the main force of the southern group retreating westward, but Petrovic did not let Petrovich lead two divisions to chase so far

So at a place five kilometers west of Chernigovka, Petrovich discussed with Sergey, and the itchy Alexander Petrovich left Sergey's Fifth Ural Cavalry Division and his own. A brigade from the [-]th Division stood in place and established a simple line of defense

The commander of the [-]nd Ural Cavalry Army personally led the [-]th Brigade, the main force of the [-]th Ural Cavalry Division, to continue to pursue westward. Along the way, he also captured hundreds of infantry from the Southern Group Infantry Division who were lagging behind and unable to walk. This inflated Petrovic's ego. Fortunately, the brigade commander of the [-]th Cavalry Brigade, Pochka, was still cautious. In the morning, he tentatively attacked Lezhevski's defense line and lost one under the dense Maxim machine gun firepower of the opponent. battalion strength

At this moment, the more he chased, the more he felt restless, and finally he grabbed the reins of his high-spirited and high-spirited army commander's mount beside him.

"Your Excellency, General, we can't go on chasing like this anymore. The opponent has ten divisions, even the cavalry, and the main division Chapayev's division. I think the main force of our brigade should stop and rest first. I will take a leading battalion to pursue It is enough to go up and find out what happened, and then there will be time to run.”

"Run? Last time we ran back from Orenburg, I made a rule for myself. The glorious Fourth Division of the Ural Cavalry will never do this embarrassing thing of fleeing without a fight. If you are afraid of death, you bring a battalion. Withdraw the captives first, and I will go after them myself." Petrovich is in high spirits, chasing after a victorious enemy is quite addictive, especially when the opponent is an infantryman and you are a cavalryman, it is a joy

If it weren't for the fear of leaking the news, he would almost have said "don't take prisoners" for the hundreds of infantrymen who were left behind by the Soviet Red Army captured along the way just now. Although the commander is young, he has always spoken with confidence. He said that no abuse of prisoners is allowed, that is, no abuse of prisoners is allowed. These days, not to mention the coalition forces, even the whole of China and the Far East may not dare to disobey him. It's not worth it to kill a few prisoners to have a good time. It's not a joke to offend the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces

"Commander, what do you call that? The chief of staff told me the truth. The main force of the brigade stopped ten kilometers in front of the enemy formation. The commander is absolutely not allowed to rush ahead in person. Even if you shoot me, I won't let you Lead the team to rush up." Pochka grabbed the reins of his army commander's horse with a serious face.
