Sergey's command once again comprehensively and cunningly carried forward the firepower advantage of the coalition cavalry when they dismounted to fight. They first showed weakness to the enemy, and only used a small number of squad machine guns and Mosin Nagant rifles to defend, attracting the opponents to attack. Afterwards, the main force bombarded the opponent with the second wave of mortars from the platoon, so that the division commander of the 20th Infantry Division of the Soviet First Russian Army had to command the troops to speed up the impact in order to avoid the opponent's mortar attack as much as possible. .

Sergei waited until the enemy's crowds gathered forward to increase the density, and then Sergey ordered the battalion's mortars and light and heavy machine guns to fire at full capacity, destroying the formation and morale of the attacking side at once, and did not hesitate to turn around when the remnants of the enemy fled. Hesitantly ordered the cavalry to mount their horses and pursue them. In this battle, Sergey used a cavalry regiment to wipe out the two infantry brigades that came from the other side.

The opponent's battlefield commander Boklov, commander of the 20th Division of the Simbirsk Iron Army Infantry of the Soviet Red Army, was injured and captured. Two brigade commanders were killed in battle. The two infantry brigades of the Red Army rescued by "Comrade Yu" nearly 8000 people, more than 3000 people were killed, and more than 4000 people were captured. More than half of the prisoners were lightly or seriously wounded, and almost none escaped!

The battle ended neatly and neatly in just over half an hour. Sergey, chief of staff of the Second Ural Cavalry Army and commander of the Fifth Cavalry Division, rode to the captured Boklov and asked him about his situation. When the situation happened, this guy was lying on the ground with a dejected spirit, turned his head and refused to speak, but couldn't help but raised his head and asked, "How is Ma Xin? Has he been eliminated by you? He was killed in battle." Or is it missing?"

Sergey on the horse laughed loudly when he heard the words, and turned to a cavalry beside him and said, "Davalisistyunov, you are the messenger of the Second Army who broke out from the siege and asked for help. Report the situation of Comrade Ma Xin!"

Berklov, who was half lying on the ground, turned his head in amazement. The coalition cavalryman smiling at him with a mustache seemed to be the messenger of the Second Army, Steyunov, who claimed to break out of the encirclement and asked for help. But this guy has changed back to the military uniform of the coalition army at this moment, and he looks energetic and has a bright smile on his face, unlike the dying messenger before.

"Report to Comrade Division Commander! Ma Xin, the commander of the Soviet Russian Second Army, and the rest of his troops were wiped out by the Fifth Cavalry Division of the Second Ural Cavalry Army this morning in Wuyi Town, 48 kilometers away from here. Comrade Ma Xin and the commander of the 1000th Infantry Division The following more than [-] people were captured! I believe you will see him soon, rest assured, your fellow Simbirsk has not shed a hair, and you have to live well. The commander-in-chief of our coalition forces said that the future of Russia is still waiting Let's go build together with us!" Sergey's guard platoon leader, Styunov, reported solemnly.

Boklov, the commander of the 20th Division of the Soviet Russian Red Army, was ashamed and indignant when he heard the words. He knew that he had been fooled by the other party. , Why didn't Chekov command the remaining two brigades to meet him!If you bring two divisions together, won't the whole army be wiped out?

The fate of Chekov and the remaining two Russian infantry brigades in the camp five kilometers northwest of Sterlitamak was not much better than that of Berklov. When the team gathered and was led by the fake Maxin messenger Steyunov to move northwestward, Kaganov saw that the enemy really only sent a division of troops to relieve the "besieged Maxin remnants" , Secretly admired Sergey's ability to predict the enemy, and ordered the troops to move quietly from the north and west to the camp of the Soviet Russian Red Army.

The division commander had to use one regiment to withstand the attack of the opponent's two infantry brigades. Kaganov knew that he, the [-]th Brigade, who was in charge of outflanking and outflanking, had a heavy responsibility. The two brigades in the camp, otherwise, if Sergey's troops were insufficient and unable to resist, the battle would slip away.

Kaganov himself is the chief of staff of the [-]th Cavalry Division and the commander of the [-]th Brigade, so he also has a skillful word in fighting. Commanding the whole brigade to launch a cavalry charge, the horse riding company battalion rushed into the opponent's camp with the impact of the mount and brandished a saber to crush the enemy, but the Second Ural Cavalry Army was different from the White Guard Cossack cavalry in the past.

The coalition headquarters also spent a lot of money to arm the Russian cavalry divisions under the command of the coalition forces. The mortars belonging to the platoon, the mortars belonging to the battalion, and the machine guns used by the squad also spared no effort to arm them to the teeth. Ronning heavy machine guns, two m1 Garand semi-automatic cavalry rifles in each squad, the Russian cavalry divisions under the command of the coalition forces gradually evolved into cavalry infantry, that is, riding on horses, dismounting into positions during combat to take advantage of firepower, When chasing and retreating, they mount their horses and maneuver again.

The whole line of pursuit was due to the rapid withdrawal of the Soviet Red Army. Whether it was Petrovich’s Fourth Cavalry Division or Sergei’s Fifth Cavalry Division, the Second Ural Cavalry Army’s artillery companies stayed in the Milna camp and did not follow the brigade. After chasing together, the battalion mortars and platoon mortars became the offensive and defensive weapons of the two cavalry divisions. They were light and easy to carry. Besides the heavy machine gun, it is the most eye-catching and favorite weapon in the cavalry division.

In the first ten days of July, the southerly and southeasterly winds were blowing on the Great Plain of Ufa. Therefore, although the pockets and battlefields Sergey arranged for Berklov were only a few kilometers away from Chekov’s Soviet Russian infantry division camp, The sound of gunfire against the wind barely reached Chekov's camp.

Kaganov, who came prepared, waited for the start of the main battlefield of Sergei in the northwest direction. He commanded his cavalry brigade to quickly approach Chekov's camp, and soon he was 1000 meters away from the opponent's position. The positions of heavy machine guns and mortars were quickly set up, and then they began to attack the opponent's camp step by step.

The eight battalions of the two regiments of the Tenth Cavalry Brigade have as many as 81 64mm caliber mortars, 32 Browning heavy machine guns, and 192 platoon mortars. The bombardment, the rain of mortars and heavy machine gun bullets beat the unsuspecting Chekov's remaining two infantry brigades in the camp to pieces!

After 15 minutes of rapid fire, the cavalry of the two cavalry regiments, except for the heavy machine guns and mortars, rushed into Chekov's camp from the southwest and southeast, waving their rifles and sabers. These two brigades have been completely defeated by the artillery fire that fell from the sky. It took Sergei in the north more than half an hour to annihilate Bokrov's two infantry brigades with a regiment of troops, and Kaganov did not let Sergey Gai was disappointed, and this guy led the Tenth Cavalry Brigade to take advantage of the huge advantages in surprise and firepower, and wiped out the remaining two brigades of Chekov in one go.

More than 15 people under Chekov, the commander of the 3000th Infantry Division, were captured, more than half of them were wounded, and the remaining 5000 people were all killed under the fiery firepower of the Kaganov Cavalry Brigade!The whole camp was wiped out.

At 11:8000, Sergei's cavalry regiment and Kaganov's cavalry brigade successfully joined forces in the town of Sterlitamak. Behind them was a mighty Soviet Russian Red Army prisoner-of-war team of more than 15 people. The 20th and 8000th Simbirsk infantry divisions of the First Army of the Eastern Front were annihilated by Sergey on two local battlefields with three cavalry regiments. 8000 Soviet Red Army soldiers were killed, and two division commanders and the remaining [-] people were captured. More than half of them are wounded.

The combined casualties of the three regiments of Sergey's Fifth Cavalry Division were less than a thousand, but the ammunition consumption was huge. Of course, after traveling nearly 70 kilometers in one morning and fighting three battles, the cavalry were already quite tired. While rescuing Li Fugui in Sterlitamak, nearly 8000 Soviet prisoners of war needed to be resettled, and Sergey's team also needed to rest, so while sending reports to Ufa and Orenburg, they unexpectedly It was temporarily unable to launch a pursuit of the rest of Tukhachevsky's troops.

Li Mingzhong's Cavalry Battalion, which was originally stationed in the town, fought a few beautiful battles with Li Fugui, the supreme commander of Sterlitamak Town, but Tukhachevsky led an infantry division and a cavalry brigade. He didn't gnaw his own hard walnut, but it still pales in comparison to Sergey's half-hourly annihilation of the opponent's two divisions on two battlefields.

Fortunately, Sergei, the chief of staff of the Russian cavalry army, respected the national troops of the coalition army. When meeting the troops, he did not treat Li Fugui as a small battalion commander at all, but solemnly brought a group of brigade leaders to come up. Holding Li Fugui's hand tightly, he greatly praised Li Fugui's meritorious service in guarding the town alone, and called on the fifth cavalry division to learn from the big brother of the United Army. From now on, every regiment and battalion will be as mighty as Li Fugui's battalion Unyielding, able to fight big battles, fight tough battles, absolutely can't see the enemy's numbers so that they can't be put on the table.

Kaganov and several regiment leaders were also dumbfounded when they saw the equipment of Li Fugui's cavalry battalion. They thought to themselves that it's no wonder that a coalition national cavalry battalion can withstand the impact of an infantry division and a cavalry brigade on the other side. It turns out that our equipment reaches the platoon. Squad machine guns are equipped to the squad, and there is an m1 Garand semi-automatic cavalry rifle. Every national cavalry platoon has a Browning air-cooled heavy machine gun. There are two oval grenades hanging on the waist and an m1911 Browning automatic pistol.

Originally, the commanders under Sergey thought that their troops had been armed to the teeth by the coalition forces. Now that they saw the basic equipment of the national cavalry, they deeply realized what it means to be armed to the teeth!The awe of the coalition forces has deepened!
