Beiyang 1917

Just like Budyonny said, Negev, commander of the Fifth Brigade of the Third Division of the Ural Cavalry, who followed the 700 Soviet Red Army cavalry, did not seek meritorious deeds, but only one cavalry regiment in his hands. , chasing a cavalry brigade of the Soviet Red Army Budyonny.

Secondly, the allied Russian cavalry regiment led by Dominik Mikhainovich Negev came from Neftegorsk for reinforcements. After running for nearly 90 kilometers in the morning, the troops and horses were exhausted, so Nejev Jeff asked the head of the first regiment, Alexei Antonkov, to lead the first battalion behind Budyonny's 700 cavalry. As long as Budyonny's black cloak is still in the front line, he will die Keep chasing.

Of course Negev is not a fuel-efficient lamp. In his opinion, the two cavalry groups that Budyonny sent out before each have the strength of 2 battalions. Where are you going to prepare your own ambush.

So Negev led the main cavalry of the three battalions of the first regiment and followed Antonikov's forward battalion so unhurriedly. As long as the 700 Soviet Red Army cavalry in front did not run out of sight, it would be fine. When the wind blows, the task he gives to his cavalry is to dismount and seize favorable terrain. For Negev, he should remain unchanged and resolutely avoid field battles with Budyonny's red Cossack cavalry and slashing with sabers.

Nejev could tell that Budyonny was using himself as a bait to lead the coalition forces around, but the exhausted Nejev would really have nothing to do with the opponent for a while. The distance of 1500 meters between the two sides could not be shortened. Moreover, as long as one's own cavalry dismounted and raised machine guns and mortars, the opponent would run out of the range of his battalion's mortars as soon as he was sure. In order not to be thrown off, the coalition cavalry could only get on their horses and chase after them.

Antonikov, the head of the first cavalry regiment in front, just stared at the figure in the black cloak surrounded by the cavalry on the other side. The brigade commander said that the credit for capturing Budyonny alive is greater than anything else, of course , the horses of this cavalry battalion under his command are so out of strength, it is really not enough to catch up with the opponent and solve the battle with a machine gun, so he has to grit his teeth and continue this game of cat and mouse unwillingly.

Alexey Antonikov is not worried about whether the nearly 2000 cavalrymen who disappeared from sight suddenly rushed out to attack him in an ambush. He even wished that the opponent could rush out. Although the first battalion he led had only more than 500 people , The stamina of the mount is almost exhausted, but as long as you get off the horse and take advantage of the machine guns and mortars, it will not be a problem to resist the impact of the opponent's 2000 cavalry and hold the opponent.

At that time, brigade commander Negev led the main force of the cavalry regiment behind him to come up, and he would definitely beat Budyonny until his nose was bruised and his face was bruised and caught him.

On the west side of the Domashika River, Negev led Antonikov and the first regiment were playing a game of cat and mouse with Budyonny. In the north, the main force of the Ninth Army Infantry Division led by Yegorov was already in Buzuluk. Zhen Peng's head was bleeding.

At the same time, Budyonny’s political commissar, Xia Jianke, led the Second Brigade of the Special Cavalry Division of the Soviet Russian Red Army to execute the detour operation plan on the east road, taking a detour from the east of the Buzuluk River and preparing to go back to the south of Buzuluk Town. Outflank operations.

Yefim Afanasyevich Xiatenko joined the Russian Socialist Minzhu Labor Party in 1904, participated in the October Revolution, organized the Red Army troops, and later became Budyonny's leader in the three battles of defending Tsaritsyn. The political commissar of the cavalry regiment, the political commissar of the cavalry brigade, and the political commissar of the cavalry division.

Although he was born as a political cadre, Xia Jianke's ability to lead troops in battle is not weak at all. This guy is a veteran party member in 1905. He has a detached status in the special cavalry division. This man can fight and do ideological work as a commander and fighter. The human political commissar can be said to be Budyonny's best partner.

In Wang Geng's previous life, Xia Jianke, Voroshilov, and Budyonny were the troikas of the First Cavalry Army and the First Cavalry Army, and they were Comrade Joseph's most trusted subordinates. It can only be regarded as Xiaohe's sharp corners.

Comrade Political Commissar was very lucky. When he returned to cross the Buzuluk River with Godorovikov’s second cavalry brigade, he was not attacked by coalition artillery fire in the town of Buzuluk. The second brigade crossed the river in Nerikov Outside the firing range of the artillery company, secondly, the Buzuluk River Ferry near the mouth of the Samara River, although the water surface is wide, the water is not deep and the flow speed is slow.

After crossing the Buzuluk River with the second brigade, Xia Tenko headed south along the river, because the Domashika River in the west and the Buzuluk River in the east were like a big "eight" lying down on the cloth. The town of Zuluk is in the middle, and the best crossings of the two rivers are in the town of Buzuluk.

Therefore, if he wanted to cross the river from the south and return to Buzuluk Town, Xia Jianke had to run southward for at least 20 kilometers with the team like Budyonny, the commander in the west. Northwest to southeast, so under his leadership, the Second Cavalry Brigade went further to Vietnam and further east.

After tossing for a long time, when we found a place barely suitable for crossing the river 40 kilometers southeast of Buzuluk Town, the second brigade of Comrade Political Commissar was already more than [-] kilometers away from Budyonny's troops on the other side of the two rivers to the west. more than.

The second cavalry brigade led by Xia Tenke also did not have time to cross the river. Romanenko, the commander of the fourth regiment of the second brigade at the back, found a coalition cavalry unit following behind him. It doesn't matter, it's a little more than 2 kilometers away from me.

The second cavalry brigade of Budyonny's special cavalry division has more than 4500 people left at the moment. The main force of the third and fourth cavalry regiments are all there. Romanenko calmly pretended not to notice the coalition cavalry behind him. Instead, they sent messengers to quickly notify the brigade commander Gorodovikov and the division political commissar Xia Tenke who were already on the river bank in front.

Oka Ivanovich Gorodovikov, commander of the second brigade of the Budyonny Cavalry Division, was born on September 1879, 9 in the village of Rostov Mokraya Yelimuta, and joined the Imperial Russian Army in 19 , Served in Poland after short-term training, and entered the 1903rd Don Cossack Regiment after returning home.

Gorodovikov participated in all previous battles of the Russian army on the Eastern Front of the European War. When he was seriously injured and retired in 1916, his previous rank was the lieutenant of the Tsarist Russian cavalry. , a serious Don Cossack origin, but Budyonny joined the 46th Don Cossack Regiment after joining the army, and then transferred to the Coastal Dragoons.

Although Gorodovikov was a Cossack general, the team he pulled up after the October Revolution was dominated by Mongolian cavalry. When it comes to this Mongolian cavalry, we have to mention a special vocabulary in Russian history-"Tatar Tartar yoke" refers specifically to the rule of Mongolian military aristocrats over Russia from the 13th to the 16th centuries. The history of Europeans being ruled by Asians seems to make old men a little bit worried.

During this unforgettable period, after Russia broke free from the "Tatar yoke" and turned to control a large number of Mongolian tribes, it used tougher methods to deal with the former conquerors.

But unexpectedly, when the Soviet regime led by Ulyanov and even the Russian nation were threatened, tens of thousands of Mongolians rode on horses, waved red flags, and shouted "For the motherland! For Joseph !”, in Wang Geng’s previous life, these Mongolian cavalrymen were part of the Soviet Russian army and fought all the way to the city of Berlin.

When the Soviet regime was established in 1917, there were about 700900 million Mongols in Russia, belonging to Kalmyk, Yakut, Buryat and other tribes.

When the full-scale civil war broke out in Russia in 1918, most Cossacks in the Don River Basin joined the White Guards, while the poor Mongolian herdsmen seemed to see the hope of getting rid of the slavery of the nobles from the Bolshevik propaganda.

Especially the Kalmyk Mongols living in the lower reaches of the Volga River, under the organization of former Tsarist Russian cavalry lieutenant Oka Alexei Gorodovikov, established the Kalmyk Cavalry Regiment and accepted the Bolshevik Astrakhan The leadership of the regional party committee.

In the first battle to defend Tsaritsyn, the Kalmyk Cavalry Regiment led by Gorodovikov and the Budyonny Cavalry Regiment were equally outstanding, but Budyonny's cavalry regiment was mainly red Cossacks, while Karl More than 2000 members of the Mek Cavalry Regiment are Mongolian cavalry.

It was only because of the differences in the skin color and blood of the cavalry soldiers under his command that Oka Ivanovich Gorodovikov, who was as brave as Budyonny, the Cossack general who was also red, had to take the lead. Under Budyonny.

After the first battle to defend Tsaritsyn, under the arrangement of Voroshilov, the Budyonny Cavalry Regiment and the Kalmyk Cavalry Regiment merged to form a cavalry brigade. Budyonny became the brigade commander as he wished. Xinge took over the position of head of the Budyonny cavalry regiment, while Gorodovikov remained the head of the Kalmyk cavalry regiment.

In the second battle to defend Tsaritsyn, Gorodovikov led the Kalmyk Cavalry Regiment to create a "cavalry armored train" style of play, which is to mount carriages containing cavalry on the armored train. Patrol and defense along the railway line around the city, and put the cavalry company in key areas at any time to intercept the attack of the White Guard Cossack cavalry. They have achieved a good record and made extraordinary contributions to the siege of Tsaritsyn.

However, it was still because the Mongolian cavalry was subconsciously suppressed and guarded against. When the second battle to defend Tsaritsyn was completed and the first cavalry division of the Southern Front Army was established, Timoshenko became the brigade commander. Dovikov also only became the brigade commander, and the commander was Comrade Budyonny, the founder of the brave and fearless red Cossack cavalry.

At this moment, half of Gorodovikov's second cavalry brigade is still Mongolian cavalry, and the rest are cavalry of various ethnic groups, including Cossacks. Hearing a battalion of coalition cavalry chasing behind him, Goro Dovikov felt that the opportunity had come!
