"Master, Antonikov, the second regiment of the fifth brigade, called. His second regiment defeated the second brigade of the Budyonny Cavalry Division of the Soviet Red Army on the banks of the Buzuluk River, 1300 kilometers southeast of Buzuluk town. Killed 1800 people, captured 700, his regiment had around 400 casualties, less than 300 were killed, and more than [-] were injured. )

The political commissar of the Budyonny Cavalry Division and the brigade commander Gorodovikov led the remaining 1200 people to the south and disappeared. Antonikov Jr. has sent a cavalry reconnaissance platoon to follow and search the south. The main force of the second regiment is currently resting and waiting. At present, no trace of Yegorov's infantry division has been found in the north direction! "The chief of staff of the division and the commander of the sixth brigade, Mr. Vladimir Kevsky, reported.

"Is there any news from the Fifth Brigade Negev?" Nerikov, the division commander, turned around and asked.

"Half an hour ago, Negev's telegram said that he was still playing a grinding game with the other party. Budyonny's main force ambush never showed up. Now they are following Budyonny's 700 cavalry in circles!" ** grinned.

"Obviously, Budjonny is not easy to deal with. He doesn't fight with the 700st Regiment of the [-]th Brigade in the field, but leads them around in circles. One possibility is that his main force is lying in ambush on favorable terrain waiting to attack Negev's ambush. Another possibility, another possibility is to cover the retreat of the main force... find a way to get in touch with Negev's radio station, tell him to be bold, and first surround and eat the opponent's [-] cavalry!"

Nerikov obviously smelled a hint of conspiracy from the strange behavior of Budyonny's troops.

"Master, cousin, what about the Yegorov infantry on the opposite side? More than half an hour has passed, and the other party is still treating and evacuating the wounded in a slow manner. Why do I feel that this smell is not right!" ** Fusi Ji asked the combat staff officer to send a telegram, and he went to the window to look through the binoculars for a long time, and asked suspiciously.

"They need to clean up the battlefield and treat the evacuated wounded. It just so happens that our soldiers on the front line are having dinner. It's the best of both worlds. Other book friends are reading: Super Drug Dealers from Another World!" Nerikov walked to the window while picking his teeth. forward.

"Master, I see that there are fewer and fewer people on the other side's ground, Yegorov won't be planning to run away?" ** reminded him.

"Run away? Yegorov gave up so soon? Let me see!" Although Nerikov was mentally prepared, he also made arrangements in advance and asked Antonikov, who was on the east side of the Buzuluk River, to give up the pursuit. The second brigade of the Budyonny Cavalry Division, after destroying the rest of the enemy, turned to the defense on the spot, preparing to intercept Yegorov's possible breakout direction once he retreated, but did not expect Yegorov to retreat so soon?

More than 5000 Red Army lightly and severely wounded on the battlefield are still retreating in an orderly manner under the busy medical carriages and medical soldiers. At this moment, at most 2000 people have been withdrawn, and the remaining 3000 people are on the battlefield. There are at least two regiments on the position guarding the front line.

"Look, Commander. There used to be a group of cavalry surrounded by a group of commanders on that hill, but now they are all gone. It is impossible for Yegorov to leave the commanding position on the battlefield for so long. I'm back, I'm watching, maybe this guy really left the troops and the wounded and ran away!"

The usual rough-and-tumble Dawski was blessed to the soul at the moment, and he really saw the clues.

"Damn, I was careless. Yegorov really left the wounded and the rearguard and ran away! What are the observation posts on the clock tower for? Why didn't they find it?" Nerikov glanced through the telescope, and the Soviet Red Army It turned out that there were not a few people on the crowded hillside behind the position, and it was deserted, and when I looked again, the shadowy infantry in the woods behind the hillside were also gone, and this guy couldn't help sweating!

**Kevsky personally ran over to call the observation post on the clock tower, and the answer he got was that he had not found any signs of the enemy appearing at the lower crossing of the Domashika River. Because the forest blocked the line of sight in the middle, he could not see clearly that the enemy had a large army. signs of mobilization.

"Master, if Yegorov has really retreated, what should we do? In front of the enemy, I think there are at least 5000 to [-] rear guards, and there are tens of thousands of wounded. How can we pursue it?" Mrs. Skye asked anxiously.

"Damn it, Yegorov is playing the golden cicada's shelling and tail-docking tricks to survive. If I chase him head-on, his rear guard and lightly or severely wounded people will be able to trip us up. Don't fight with him in the field. If it is a tactic for him to kill the carbine to lure the enemy, leaving the positions and trenches, we have less than 5000 people and plunged into the quagmire of more than 25000 people of the other side.

Nerikov frowned and turned around the headquarters, then raised his head and asked, "Where is the infantry of Wu Peifu in the central yang group in Ufa now, and how long will it take to arrive?"

"Half an hour ago, they were 30 kilometers away from us. It is estimated that it will take 2 hours to 3 hours at the fastest! The road is not easy to walk, and the infantry marching speed is not much different from that of a turtle. At this moment, the weather is still not sunny. The French Air Force can't be counted on either!" At this moment, Daveski looked like a chief of staff.

"Send a message to Wu Peifu, telling him that Yegorov may take the main force of the army to cross the Buzuluk River and retreat southeast, and ask him to send a fast detachment to seize the river mouth and prevent Yegorov from crossing the river! I want his ninth The army group is trapped in the triangle area north of Buzuluk town!" Nerikov gritted his teeth.

At this time, the Fifth Brigade was scattered [-] kilometers away from the south of the banks of the Buzuluk River and the Domashika River. A few more brutal cavalry battles were fought on the [-]-kilometer road. At this time, it also meant that it was at the end of its strength.

"Far water can't quench near thirst, sir, if we plan to trap Yegorov in the triangle area where the three rivers meet, the daylily will be cold when Wu Peifu arrives!" Lukasovsky said, rubbing his hands.

"That's right! But, is it possible to let the artillery company and cavalry company of the fifth brigade on both sides of the strait intercept and blockade the ferry? How is this force enough?" Nerikov hesitated.

"Master, the artillery is quite powerful. As long as our artillery can smash the shells onto the other side's ferry, I dare say that Yegorov's infantry will not be able to brave the artillery fire. Besides, let's send the second regiment How about sending them across the river to make a detour?" Daveski seemed to be enlightened, and ideas came up one after another.

"Send the second regiment across the river? Hey, that's a good way, Nima, chief of staff, you've got the hang of it. The fifth brigade has already defeated the circuitous troops of the Budyonny cavalry division in the south. The second regiment There is no need to guard the position south of Buzuluk Town anymore. Let them cross the river. Aren’t the boats tied to the ferry in the southern part of the town? Gaia Storm of the Ministry!"

Nerikov opened his mind when he heard the words, and happily beat his cousin and chief of staff of the division, and then ordered,

"Pass my order, the artillery company and cavalry company of the [-]th Brigade on both sides of the river move northward, the task is to block the river bank. Prevent the other side from crossing the river at all costs. Cross the river to the other side of the Buzuluk River at the ferry in K Town, and then go north to reinforce the artillery and cavalry companies of the Fifth Brigade. The first and second battalions of the Sixth Brigade cross the Domashika River from the ferry to the west, Reinforce the artillery and cavalry companies of the Fifth Brigade!"

"***, I don't believe you can't stop Yegorov!! Call the Bell Tower Artillery Observation Post to observe closely. If the enemy tries to cross the river at the lower reaches of the Domashika River, they will bombard me resolutely, regardless of the number of shells. After this battle, there will be opportunities for replenishment and rest!"

To say that Nerikov made up his mind very quickly. Although Yegorov retreated half an hour earlier, the infantry division, who hadn't slept all night and was defeated for half a day, retreated. It was already 2 p.m. when Luo Fu led Inza's division to the ferry ten kilometers downstream of the Buzuluk River. .

This cavalry company is the guard company of the 3nd Regiment Headquarters of Nejef's 6th Brigade, equipped with an air-cooled Browning heavy machine gun, 60 Browning squad machine guns and 6 1-caliber platoon mortars. Since it is the Jingwei company of the regiment headquarters, each squad is equipped with 5 6 Garand semi-automatic riding rifles, and the artillery company that is still 14 kilometers upstream has also launched its position. The distance completely covers more than [-] kilometers of river banks from top to bottom.

Of course, what made Yegorov despair in the end was that before he could order the second regiment of the Inza Division to brave the enemy's machine guns and artillery fire, a group of coalition armored chariots appeared in the northern section of the coalition position on the opposite bank. The sound of Ula when the armored troops joined forces completely ruined Yegorov's thoughts of breaking out. ()
