Beiyang 1917

The Fifth Army Yegorov evacuated and concealed the five infantry divisions near Yagovlevka along the way. Fortunately, the Hawkeye pre-warning aircraft and the DH4 reconnaissance aircraft of the coalition air force focused on reconnaissance, and Bavley was at the heart. The area within 70 kilometers, and Yegorov's forced march last night made the five divisions just run out of this range, and this guy scattered the five divisions in the woods within ten kilometers, so he was hiding Going to the past, knowing that the night is coming, it has not been discovered by the air reconnaissance of the coalition forces.

Ma Xin's unit of the Second Army did not have such good luck. The air strike of 72 bombers of the Allied Air Force on the shore of Lake Alga caused heavy damage to the three divisions here. After the wounded guarded the 5000 seriously wounded, Ma Xin led the remaining 2000 Soviet Russian Red Army 18000 men and ran south all the way.

To say that this guy’s idea is not bad, the main reason is that he was terribly bombed by the air strikes of the coalition air force. Only by retreating in small groups can he confuse the pursuers to the greatest extent. Even if the opponent’s air force makes a comeback, it will be at least 3 or 4 It will be dark in the day after tomorrow, and it will be easy to hide and avoid the opponent's blow.

A regiment of the 9000th Brigade of the [-]th Petrovich Cavalry Division and two regiments of the [-]th Brigade of the Pursuing Petrovich Cavalry Division also chased madly as a unit of cavalry regiments, but there were only three ways to escape, so there were still three ways of about [-] The Russian Red Army escaped the pursuit of the Allied cavalry before nightfall.

The three-way Soviet Russian Red Army, which was overtaken by the coalition cavalry regiment, was really forced to say that it stopped and tried to counterattack and resist. Petrovich's cavalry division was the first to equip the coalition army with battalion, platoon mortars and m1917bra The leader of the Browning squad machine gun, each cavalry squad leader is also equipped with an M1 Garand short-barrel cavalry rifle. The firepower, combat effectiveness, and self-confidence are getting stronger and stronger with more victories.

More than 3000 defeated Soviet Russian soldiers who escaped all the way with only light weapons faced 2500 coalition Cossack cavalry armed to the teeth. Under the encirclement and suppression of the Communist Party of China, they finally laid down their weapons after one-third of them were killed in battle. Half of the 6000 captives were lightly or severely wounded, and the political commissars who resolutely resisted were either killed or committed suicide at the last moment.

The three cavalry regiments of Petrovich also suffered 800 casualties in the desperate resistance of the other side. He was so angry that he went crazy, and he almost ordered not to take prisoners afterwards.

Of course, in the end, this guy gritted his teeth and gasped for breath. He didn't dare to actually massacre the prisoners of the Soviet Red Army who had put down their weapons. The military discipline of the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces made people shudder. It’s still born, as long as you are a soldier of the coalition army, as long as you violate military discipline, you should be killed. You don’t need to find someone to intercede, the gun is cheap, and hanging is also a common method used by the gendarmerie law enforcement team to deter troops and localities!

The Allied Forces appeared in Russia for less than half a year, but the Bodhisattva-hearted, thunderous, iron-blooded military discipline of the Allied Forces made no one dare to underestimate this army. Petrovich, who was born in a Cossack landlord family, also unknowingly discovered the Cossack guerrilla in himself. Habits are gradually decreasing, and the cavalry under him have gradually become a bit of a regular army under the influence of what they have heard and seen these days.

Fortunately for Ma Xin, he was not among the three troops being chased by the coalition cavalry. There was also a guard of a cavalry company beside him. The main regiment of the 3000th Infantry Division with nearly 48 people did not go to Instead, they ran southeast to the farthest edge, and the coalition cavalry was stumbled by the three overtaken troops, so the 3000 people of Ma Xin finally escaped again, and disappeared in Arleigh at night. In the woods 30 kilometers southeast of the lake.

In addition, the two groups of people who ran out coincidentally chose to withdraw to the southwest. In their view, finding the main force of Yegorov's 3st Army as soon as possible is the right way. There is no way out in other directions. The number of troops changed from 1918 to several thousand. People, after several air raids and battles, they have already become frightened birds. As for the guerrilla warfare on the Ufa Great Plain that has been so completely cleared by the walls, it is purely a dream. In [-], the whole of Russia was killed by food shortage Hungry, without local people and food, even the most determined Bolshevik guerrillas have no basis for survival!

On this day until nightfall, the lucky Tukhachevsky and his three infantry divisions and one cavalry division were not discovered by the air reconnaissance of the coalition air force. This has a lot to do with his choice to break through in the southeast direction. Whether it is the Hawkeye pre-warning plane of the coalition air force or the DH4 reconnaissance plane, they all instinctively think that going south and west is the main direction for the opponent to retreat. Few people would think that Tukhachevsky's First Army The three divisions will go southeast.

Going southeast, isn't that getting farther and farther away from the Volga River?The focus of aerial reconnaissance under habitual thinking is actually the direction south of Milna, not to mention that Tukhachevsky ran far enough forcibly marching last night, and today it is quiet enough to evacuate and hide in the small woods during the day, so it is safe The first day after the breakout has been read.

After nightfall, the weather was cloudy and rainy that night, which was equivalent to closing the door for the Hawkeye pre-warning aircraft of the coalition air force to continue their night flight reconnaissance. Of course, the retreat of the Soviet Red Army infantry in the middle of the night was extremely difficult due to the wind and rain. Difficult, the marching speed dropped sharply from 7 to 8 kilometers per hour the night before to about 5 kilometers.

On July 7, a series of battles during the day and the prisoners of the other side also slowed down the pursuit of the coalition ground forces. At night, Wu Peifu led the two divisions of the First Siberian Army to the front line of Bavley by car, but due to the intensified rain , the wind and rain were blowing, and the troops were obviously too tired to march south or southwest overnight, so they had to camp on the spot. The main force of Jiang Hongyu's second armored brigade also stayed at the Bavley line to rest. Obviously, the next step was to find and catch up with Yegoro The husband's main force is the top priority of these two troops.

Yegorov's five divisions started their operations in the rain after nightfall. Instead of going south, they turned to the southwest. The stormy night was the best cover for Yegorov. If you don't run now, when will you wait?

The five infantry divisions of the 60st Army gritted their teeth and moved another [-] kilometers southwest overnight. The rain stopped overnight before dawn, but the sky was still cloudy. Seeing that the weather was not good and the coalition air force might not be able to dispatch, they seized the time to bury the pot, light a fire, cook and dry clothes. Of course, Yegorov's order was to give only one and a half hours, and the fire must be extinguished by then. Then evacuate and hide.

After a night of forced marching in the rain, each of the five divisions experienced varying degrees of downsizing and falling behind. There were at least nearly 2000 people in total, and the number of the main force decreased from 35000 to 33000. There was no chance to go back to the left bank of the Volga River. Yegorov made a decision in his heart that he would not mix with the Eastern Front in the future. As long as the coalition forces did not come to the left bank of the Volga River, he would not cross the river to fight against the coalition forces if he was killed.

Yegorov's troops arrived near the village of Troitskoye, 60 kilometers southwest of Abdulino, only 69 kilometers southwest of Bluzuk, and only 150 kilometers west of the Samara region. It is very hopeful to break out of the encirclement and run back to the left bank of the Volga River. Of course, the number of enemy troops in Samara is still unknown, but in order to cross the river, if we fight to the death, we may not be able to take Samara!

The Budyonny Special Cavalry Division of Yegorov's Army also turned to the southwest to retreat that night. The cavalry division marched nearly 100 kilometers again overnight, and arrived at Krasnogorski before dawn. This place is less than 30 kilometers away from the village of Troitskoye where Yegorov camped. It's a miracle to get closer.

Yegorov resisted not daring to turn on the radio to ask about the situation of the retreat to Moscow and contact with other armies. It is absolutely impossible to say that all five armies can escape. Who knows what troops and armies are already there? Dumplings were made by the coalition forces, and the call signs and code books of division-level and army-level radio stations might have fallen into the hands of the coalition forces. At this time, you must not be careless. After running so far, more than 3 people were almost exhausted in the stormy night We moved here only when we collapsed, and we must not lose Jingzhou carelessly!

Yegorov made up his mind that the next time he turned on the machine must be the moment when the battle started. As for whether he was caught up and surrounded by the opponent, or his main force touched Samara to attack the opponent, it is still unknown, but this I still have more confidence in Budyonny and his special cavalry division. His five infantry divisions can run out, and Budyonny's cavalry should be no problem. The key is not to go in the wrong direction and get lost.

Of course, this night, Budyonny is also praying, hoping that he can find the main force to join Yegorov as soon as possible. If the troops chase, your own cavalry may not be able to win. If the enemy's infantry catches up, Budyonny is not worried at all. If you can't win, at least you can run. Afraid of enemy infantry?
