Beiyang 1917

In the end, Xiao Shanling, the commander of the third cavalry brigade of the coalition army, could not resist Xiao Chuyin, the brigade lieutenant colonel's combat staff officer and a graduate of the fifth phase of Baoding, Xiao Chuyin.

If it is said that Yan Junliu, the chief of staff of the war room of the coalition headquarters, quit his job as a close minister of the emperor, and took the risk of parachuting to Kumertau, he would also lead the Fourth Cavalry Regiment of the Japanese Army to intercept Tukhachevs Ji Ligong's words.

So for Xiao Shanling, the brigade commander of the [-]rd Mixed Cavalry Brigade of the [-]st Armored Division of the Allied Forces, this time he took the initiative to ask Ying to take the [-]st Cavalry Regiment to fill the gap left by the Japanese [-]th Cavalry Wing when it went north.

It wasn't just to wipe the ass of Yan Junliu and the Japanese himself. Brigadier Xiao was on his own, and he came to make contributions and capture Tukhachevsky for the Third Cavalry Brigade.

Judging from the current situation, if he led the cavalry regiment to defend the south bank of the Belaya River and blocked Tukhachevsky's way to break through, then Yan Junliu and him would probably be the last ones to pick up the bargain. The two Japanese cavalry brigades behind Khachevsky's butt.

This is a cat-and-mouse and hide-and-seek battle between the cavalry units of China, Japan, and Soviet Russia. The strength of the three parties is still about the same. The cavalry regiment of the Japanese army in the coalition establishment has three cavalry brigades under its jurisdiction And a field artillery brigade, of which the field artillery brigade governs two four-door mountain artillery squadrons and one four-door field artillery squadron.

However, after Sarawat commanded the 31th Cavalry Regiment to wipe out the [-]st Infantry Division of the Soviet Red Army Tukhachevsky's First Army, Hata Toshiroku sent the regiment's field artillery brigade and logistical troops Throwing it in Salawat, he sent the captain of the regiment, Yonezawa Kogoro, to lead a cavalry brigade to search and pursue westward, while this man himself led the remaining two cavalry brigades to cross the Belaya River and pursue southward along the foot of the Ural Mountains. .

In the establishment of the coalition army, the originally weak cavalry unit was specially strengthened. It is serious that a cavalry regiment has 3 cavalry brigades and a field artillery brigade, 1 cavalry brigade has 4 cavalry squadrons, and a cavalry squadron has 3 cavalry squadrons. Squad, a squad is 70 people!It turns out that a squadron of the Japanese cavalry only governs 2 cavalry squads, and the strength of the inside and outside is only one-third short.

Therefore, the two cavalry brigades under Hata Junliu, plus the brigade directly under the brigade headquarters, each brigade has about 850 troops, adding up to nearly 1700 people, leading the 1700 Japanese cavalry to chase at least 2500 red Cossacks As for the cavalry, it must be said that Hata Toshi's sixth commander is quite courageous.

For Hata Toshiroku, since the Fourth Cavalry Regiment with 4000 troops can encircle and wipe out more than 31 people of the 6000st Soviet Infantry Division, and Li Fugui's 600 cavalry battalion blocked the opponent's cavalry brigade's attack, then What exaggeration is there for Tukhachevsky, who led two cavalry brigades of 1700 cavalrymen, and a cavalry regiment beside him, who chased and fled?No exaggeration!

Each cavalry squad of the Japanese Fourth Cavalry Regiment is equipped with 2 coalition platoon mortars and 3 Browning squad machine guns, and each cavalry squadron is equipped with an air-cooled Browning heavy machine gun. Each brigade also has an 8mm caliber mortar squad with 81 guns.

The actual remaining troops around Tukhachevsky are about 2700 cavalry. This guy left a battalion of more than 500 people in the village of Petropavlovka to attract the attention of the coalition forces on the other side, pretending to cross the river, and the rest Four battalions of about 4 cavalry were handed over to Xia Boyang to lead them straight to the direction of the Meleuz Ferry.

Tukhachevski himself, at Fumanov's insistence, did not follow the brigade to break through, but changed into military uniforms and mixed with the more than 200 cavalry in the guard battalion of the group army led by Fumanov In the middle, they quietly went to the upper reaches of the Belaya River. The news was strictly sealed, and only Fumanov, Xia Boyang, Tukhachevsky and the soldiers of the Jingwei Battalion knew.

The nature of the cunning rabbit and the three caves is perfectly reflected in Tukhachevsky. Tukhachevsky is ready to go up the mountain to fight guerrillas. The smaller the target, the less eye-catching. Invited to be a guide for this 200-man Red Army cavalry, Tukhachevsky even gave himself an alias, calling himself Tushka, the guard of the cavalry division political commissar Fumanov.

On the other hand, Xia Boyang picked a guy from the Jingwei battalion who was about the same size and appearance as Tukhachevsky, dressed him up as Tukhachevsky, and followed him to pretend to be the real commander of the army group, and ordered him Keep your mouth shut and don't make a sound. Playing a good commander is the only task and mission of this guy.

In any case, if the rest of the First Army can break through the encirclement, the old partners Xia Boyang and Fumanov both insist that Tukhachevsky, the commander of the Army, must be among them; If Chevsky was captured or killed in battle, the First Army's breakout would be meaningless.

For Xia Boyang and Fumanov, the rest of the cavalry division risked their lives and sent Tukhachevsky out of the enemy's encirclement. Without the words of Tukhachevsky, the founder of the First Army, Xia Boyang and Fumanov were ashamed to see their fathers and folks on the left bank of the Volga River.

At 1918:7 pm on July 14, 14, in a valley 00 kilometers away from the Meleuz Ferry, Xia Boyang led more than 2000 cavalry and encountered the 500rd Mixed Cavalry Brigade of the Allied Forces on the way to the Meleuz Ferry. A battalion of more than [-] Chinese cavalry led by Lieutenant Colonel Xiao Chuyin led a battalion of more than [-] Chinese cavalry. Gunshots rang out in the valley, and Qingshan Cuigu witnessed the imminent cavalry battle between China and Russia.

Since the coalition cavalry led by Xiao Chuyin crossed the Belaya River at the Meleuz Ferry, they have been in a state of high vigilance searching and advancing. One kilometer ahead, Xiao Chuyin followed with the main force of three companies, so Chu Dashan's avant-garde company was the first to notice the movement of the Soviet Red Army cavalry brigade coming from the opposite side with the sound of horseshoes rumbling.

This guy didn't dare to be negligent, and ordered the entire company to dismount to seize the favorable terrain on both sides of the valley, deploying all the machine guns and mortars, and at the same time ordered the messengers to send a message to Xiao Chuyin behind: the Soviet Russian cavalry brigade was found rushing westward from the other side of the valley Come, listen to the movement and look at the dust, there are no less than 3 or 4000 Soviet cavalry on the opposite side!

How about the battalion commander Chu Dashan who is brave enough to fight in a detour on the south road from Ufa? The [-]rd Brigade of Mixed Cavalry under Xiao Shanling has never been able to win a big battle. They were screaming loudly, and the battle reports from the Ufa coalition headquarters were one after another. Today, how did the Second Armored Brigade annihilate the three divisions of the Northern Route Army of the Soviet Russian Fifth Army and captured tens of thousands? Tomorrow, it will be the Russian cavalry again. One division and one brigade wiped out two enemy divisions.

Even Li Fugui's battalion, who stayed in a place like Sterlitamak, turned the tide and made a big show of his face, comparing Tukhachevsky, the pride of the Soviet Russian Eastern Front, and the man below him. Cavalry division commander Xia Boyang ran over here with his nose and face bruised and swollen.

Li Fugui's battalion is in Tukhachevsky, Sterlitamak Town. A cavalry brigade and an infantry division are standing still. Nima, is my battalion not as good as Li Fugui's battalion?What's more, the cavalry of the Soviet Red Army on the opposite side is already a lost dog and a dog in the water. Everyone shouts and beats me. I, Chu Dashan, are so afraid?

Strolling around, the terrain is favorable. Although Chu Dashan only brought his own vanguard company, he didn't have the slightest thought of panic. This place happened to be a long valley running from northwest to southeast, with a length of more than ten kilometers. The place where I encountered the Soviet Red Army cavalry was in the middle, at least five kilometers away from the mouth of the valley on both sides. The valley was only 200 meters wide. The trees on both sides were shady and the mountain was steep and it was not easy to climb up. It was an ambush excellent location.

Chu Dashan asked a company commander to lead two platoons to guard the north slope, and he brought three platoons to guard the south slope. Light and heavy machine guns and mortars were quickly put in place. The mortars in the door row opened fire, a series of mortar shells twittered and sang like sparrows, and then smashed past, and then an air-cooled Browning heavy machine gun in the third row rang out, The cavalry of the Soviet Red Army vanguard battalion on the opposite side was swept away like leeks.

Xia Boyang's 2000-man cavalry team has nearly 4000 horses because they are riding with one person and two horses. , 4 cavalry, no wonder Chu Dashan heard that the opponent had at least 5000 horses.

The avant-garde battalion of the Soviet Red Army suddenly encountered an attack from the opposite side of the valley, and the soldiers crowded into a group for a while. At this time, when the enemy's situation was unknown and they encountered an ambush, it was the first choice of all commanders to retreat and stabilize their positions. Xia Boyang Yelansky, head of the first regiment of the second brigade of the cavalry division who led the vanguard battalion.

Caught off guard, the vanguard cavalry battalion led by Yelansky was ambushed by the rain of coalition mortar shells and heavy machine guns, and half of the company's troops were wiped out. This guy shouted desperately and finally restrained the troops and retreated to the distance of the opponent's mortar shots. Besides, corpses and wounded were left in a mess on the ground ahead.

Yelansky had experience in fighting under the town of Sterlitamak. He heard that the opponent had only one heavy machine gun and a few mortars. He felt a stone in his heart and ordered the first and third companies to occupy the valley. On the hillsides on both sides, I ordered the messengers to go back to deliver a letter to the division commander. The vanguard battalion was ambushed by about a company of coalition forces. The opponent had heavy machine guns and mortars. Please instruct the next move.

Yelansky didn't dare to be reckless, so he let his vanguard battalion rush forward along the valley. Who knows how many troops the coalition army has on the opposite side? , Turning around is difficult!

The division commander Xia Boyang, who led the main cavalry to walk one kilometer behind the front battalion, rushed up with the guards as quickly as lightning after the sound of gunshots and mortars sounded in the front.
