1918年7月13ri12：00乌法联军指挥部

"Reporting to the commander-in-chief, Jiang Hongyu from Bavley's department called. Given that most of the Soviet Russian Second, Fifth, Fourth and First Armies have been wiped out, the coalition forces in the north will obviously be useless. Jiang Hongyu Yu asked if it would be possible to send the [-]nd Ural Cavalry Division located in Nuralt in the west to advance northwestward to capture Bolgar and seal off all the crossings on the right bank of the Volga River!" A combat staff officer brought Jiang Hongyu, chief of staff of the coalition army, The latest request telegram. ()

"Hehe, Your Excellency Commander-in-Chief, Chief of Staff Jiang's Northern Route Army is the best unit with the best detour and quick record in the entire Ufa Battle. Why is he still not satisfied? Xiong Shihui's second echelon is squatting in Almetyevsk Just guarding the captives and transporting supplies of food and ammunition for him, I heard that something is going wrong, and the Chief of Staff of Chiang still wants his troops to grab Bolgar's last piece of cake?" Taro Utsunomiya, deputy chief of staff of the coalition forces, heard this. Frowning, he teased.

Hearing this, Wang Geng smiled and did not speak, but put out the cigar in his hand, walked quickly to the battle map, and carefully looked at the situation of the Soviet Red Army and the coalition troops on the map. There are only a few small red flags left, which is completely different from the situation when the five armies of the other side lined up in groups of nearly 20 from Bavley to Milna. It is not what it used to be. Instead, it means that the captured Soviet Red Army is even more There are many small white flags, and the small blue flags representing the strength of the coalition forces are covered in almost all strategic locations.

On the northern front, the main force of Jiang Hongyu's 130nd Armored Mixed Brigade was in Bavrey, and the main force of Cheng Ruhuai's 110th Armored Regiment annihilated the Stepin Group of the Soviet Russian Second Army and stayed [-] kilometers southwest of Severnau County near the village of Kameshra; the affiliated Ural Cavalry Second Division is in Nurlat, [-] kilometers west of Briguma, while the Japanese Seventh Cavalry Wing led by Ishihara Kanji is far away in Almetyev [-] kilometers east of Michulinsk line.

Also on the northern front, as the main force of the 60th Mixed Brigade of the Xiong Shihui Department of the second echelon, it was stationed in Almetyevsk. Its 180th Infantry Regiment arrived in Bavley, and the 181st Infantry Regiment arrived in Brigoma. The .13 Infantry Brigade is on the Aznakoyevo line, about 50 kilometers east of Almedeyevsk, while the attached 5th Infantry Division of the Ufa Second Army is in Zainsko and Almej Arranged along the Yevsk Highway.

In addition, on the northern line of Milnayazkovo, the [-]nd Infantry Division of the Ufa First Group Army, which is attached to the Ufayang Group Operation, and the [-]th Infantry Division patrolled the swampy area north of Milna and lost sight. The remnants of the Soviet Russian Fourth Army Heveshin and the First Army Yankovgay also searched in the swamp area, as well as a cavalry regiment from the [-]th Petrovich Cavalry Division and a cavalry from the [-]th Sergei Cavalry Division. group.

The First Siberian Army, which is also attached to Wu Peifu's Ufayang Group, still has a third infantry division stranded on the front line of Milna waiting for the transportation of the coalition car transport regiment. The first and second divisions of the First Siberian Army are under Wu Peifu's Under the command, the pursuit of the Yegorovdi Army on the southern front was launched.

On the southern front, the 40st Infantry Division of the Ufa [-]st Army stayed on the shore of Alga Lake to rest, and the [-]rd Infantry Division turned to the southwest to continue advancing, while Petrovic’s three cavalry regiments stayed [-] kilometers south of the Alga Lake Like the First Infantry Division on the shore of Lake Alga, a large number of prisoners and wounded and waiting for the replenishment of ammunition and food made the Fourth Cavalry Division temporarily unable to continue new operations.

In addition, the troops on the southern front were Sergey's fifth cavalry division and Li Fugui's cavalry battalion staying in the town of Sterlitamak. They also urgently needed to replenish food and ammunition, and there were a large number of prisoners of war waiting to be transferred, and the wounded needed medical treatment.

Farther along the southern line, about 4000 people from Li Mingzhong's South Route Army, the Japanese Fourth Cavalry Regiment, stationed in Kumertau, 100 kilometers south of the town of Sterlitamak, and Li Mingzhong's main force mixed into the third cavalry Nearly 5000 cavalry brigades were stationed in the southern town of Orenburg, while the main brigade of the third Ural cavalry division with 2500 troops was stationed in Bluzuk, and a regiment of 70 troops from the seventh brigade was stationed in Sorochinsk, 2500 kilometers southeast of Bluzuk. Another regiment of 75 members of the [-]th Brigade was stationed at Neftegorsk, [-] kilometers west of Bluzuk.

Solochinsk is 140 kilometers from Orenburg to the southeast, while Neftegorsk is 85 kilometers from the Samara region to the northwest.

Sun Liangcheng's Department, which was the first to dispatch to the south to implement the southern roundabout combat plan, had the main armored first brigade in Samara, and the attached first Ural cavalry division main brigade first brigade occupied Arkhangels opposite Simbirsk Koyer, the second brigade occupies Meleks, 60 kilometers southeast, and Meleks is 125 kilometers away from Samara. The Japanese No.12 Cavalry Regiment, which is also attached to Sun Liangcheng's department, has nearly 5000 people. Under the leadership of Seishiro Itagaki, guarding Togliatti, the most important ferry north of Samara, is also 50 kilometers away from Samara.

The Battle of Ufa lasted until noon on July 7. After the day's fighting, the coalition forces first captured 13 people from the Fourth Army during the Ufa defensive battle, and then Jiang Hongyu captured the Ekh Department of the Fifth Army in the southeast of Chistopol. 10000 people, and then 23000 people from Rzhevsky's department in Chernigovka laid down their arms and became prisoners.

Then Jiang Hongyu's troops wiped out the Fifth Army and captured more than 27000 people in Sla. Then Petrovich's Second Cavalry Army wiped out two and a half divisions of the opponent's First Army in Acehkovo, capturing more than 16000 people. Petrovich defeated another division of Heveshin's blockade and captured more than 2000 people from the other side. Then the Turkin Regiment of the 7000th Petrovich Cavalry Division captured [-] remnants of Kharchenko's troops on the shore of Lake Alga.

Then the three regiments of the Fourth Cavalry Division of Petrovich continued their efforts and wiped out 30 people from the three regiments of Ma Xin's Second Army 9000 kilometers south of Lake Alga, and captured 6000 people!

On the same day, Jiang Hongyu's 16000th Regiment of the [-]nd Armored Brigade, with the cooperation of the air force, overtook and annihilated the Stepin Group of the Russian Second Army retreating westward, and captured [-] people!

Then Sergey fought three times in the morning, captured 1000 people from the rest of Maxin, annihilated the 15th and 20th infantry divisions of the Tukhachevsky First Army, and captured 8000 people.

Adding up all this, the coalition forces in Ufa have captured more than 14 people from the other side, and about half of them were lightly or severely wounded.

10,000+ captives In addition to the 30000 people from the Rzhevsky Group and the 10000 people who were captured in the southeast defense of Ufa, they have been transported by return train to the prisoner-of-war camp near Chelyabinsk, east of the Ural Mountains, The remaining more than 10 prisoners of war are still stranded on the Ufa Great Plain battlefield with a radius of several hundred kilometers, so the logistical support burden of the coalition forces is quite heavy and tense.

The Almedeyevsk temporary prisoner-of-war camp where the main force of Guangxiong Shihui was stationed held 50000 prisoners of war from the Slavic Department of the Fifth Army. The temporary prisoner-of-war camp by the lake held 18000 prisoners of war mainly from the Soviet Russian Second Army. In addition, there were 13000 prisoners of war from the First Army and 8000 prisoners from the Second Army in the town of Sterlitamak. The makeshift prisoner-of-war camp near the village also held 1000 prisoners of war from the Second Army.

If it is said that the logistics of the coalition forces in the Battle of Ufa only need to guarantee the food and materials supply of about 10 troops around Ufa, then in just a few days, just feeding more than 10 prisoners of the Soviet Russian Red Army will increase the food supply. It has nearly doubled, and the coalition forces and prisoners are scattered throughout the Ufa Great Plain, which is 450 kilometers wide from east to west and 400 kilometers from north to south. The pressure and difficulty of logistical support can be imagined.

此时联军在乌法战场的兵力为蒋鸿遇部25000人、熊式辉部25000人、李鸣钟部25000人、孙良诚部30000人、乌法第一集团军40000人、西伯利亚第一集团军30000人、乌拉尔骑兵第二军20000人、乌法第二集团军30000人，加起来联军地面部队超过22万大军，人吃马嚼弹药和粮食补充的压力非常之大，别说还得管着滞留在战场俘虏营的10万多张苏俄红军俘虏的嘴，其近40000的轻重伤员的药品供应都是个难题。

"Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, should the Second Ural Cavalry Division be dispatched from Nurrat to march northwest to capture Bolgar? There is at most one infantry division of the Fifth Army stationed there!" Utsunomiya, deputy chief of staff of the coalition forces Seeing Wang Geng standing in front of the battle map with his chin resting on his shoulders, Taro couldn't help reminding him.
