Beiyang 1917

w "Of course we can't stay here to add to the chaos on the front line. The key to whether the Third Army can withdraw smoothly is to hold Cheboksary. Let's go. Our two carriages are hung behind the locomotive to rush to Cheboksary. There are three people on the opposite side. The white guards of the division are attacking across the river. The 5th division and the workers' division of Cheboksary alone may not be able to resist it. We have to go to command in person. You also know that the political commissar is doing ideological work and fighting big and vicious battles It's not his strong point!" Berzin said incredulously. .)

After a series of orders from the Front Enemy Headquarters of the Third Army were sent out, Berzin and Mezhninov took their Front Enemy Headquarters and a guard company with one carriage. The three carriages were hung on a steam locomotive and pulled The siren sailed to Cheboksary, 2 kilometers away to the northwest, and ten kilometers behind, the [-]nd Infantry Division of the Soviet Red Army, supported by the firepower of two armored vehicle detachments, had already fought against two of Kolchak's troops.

"Report, the 6th and 7th Don Cossack Cavalry Divisions led by General Krashinikov of the Central Route Army have successfully crossed the river and occupied Alexandrovna. The Soviet Red Army has withdrawn. There are no train carriages and locomotives on the station. , part of the tracks were also damaged!

After the cavalry teams of the two divisions landed, the admiral sent a cavalry battalion to pursue southwest along the railway line, leaving a cavalry battalion to guard the Alexandrovna Ferry, and the main force of the other two divisions had already moved along the river bank at full speed. Boxary is moving in! "

"Okay! Great! Now I see how Berzin can run! From Alexandrovna along the south bank of the Volga River to Cheboksary, the road is only 36 kilometers, and it takes two hours to grit your teeth. The cavalry will arrive!" Hastings, Chief of Staff of the White Guards, said excitedly.

"Report! The three infantry divisions led by the chief of staff of the Western Route Army, Seminov, failed in the first two river-crossing attacks launched by Cheboksary. The third attack across the river! Seminov said that if you give him another hour, he will definitely be able to break through the position on the other side!" A confidential staff officer timidly reported.

"Bastard, Seminov missed the fighter plane. I assigned him 2 artillery companies and 2 heavy machine gun battalions for each division. Why didn't these firepower be used in a concentrated manner? The opponent only had a regular army of an infantry division defending, and the rest It was workers' pickets.

Moreover, the enemy of Cheboksary does not have a single artillery company, and the armored trains are also on our side. What is Seminov doing!Tell him to concentrate artillery fire to cover the landing area on the other side!Make more rafts, link them together with iron chains and rush over for me!I'll give him another 45 minutes, I can't take the Cheboksary ferry, and tell him to come and see him! "

Kolchak's face was ashen. In fact, the fight in Tsivelisk was so fierce that Timilev was asked to take two cavalry divisions to Kozmodemyansk to cross the river from a long distance. One of the purposes was to disperse The strength of the opponent in Cheboksary created conditions for the main force of the three infantry divisions of the West Route Army of the White Guard to cross the river!As a result, the performance of Seminov and his troops clearly disappointed everyone.

"Report, the 5th Division of the Kazan Infantry has broken through the opponent's northeast line of defense, but the 4th Division of the Soviet Red Army has boarded the train and evacuated. The armored train is broken behind. The 3nd Brigade of the 2rd Division of the Don River Cavalry is chasing it!" A The confidential staff officer came over excitedly and reported.

"Good! Good fight, Alexander Vasilyevich, the enemy is finally starting to collapse! Call the 5th Division of Kazan to pursue along the railway!" Chief of Staff Hastings said happily.

"No, order the Fifth Division to send a regiment to pursue along the railway to the southwest of Tsivelisk, and the rest of the troops, together with the 3nd Brigade of the 2rd Division of the Don Cavalry, will go directly to Cheboksary! Let's make a centripetal assault, as long as Take Cheboksary, and I will see where the Russian Red Army in Tsivelisk will withdraw!" Kolchak's eyes have shifted from Tsivelisk, where the battle is stalemate, to the direction of Cheboksary.

"Report! The chief of staff of the Central Route Army, Lieutenant General Volaimani, has led three infantry divisions to the battlefield. Please commander indicate the direction of the next move!" A confidential staff officer put down the phone in his hand and shouted.

"Okay! It's too timely. I told Volaimani not to stay. I left the 11th Infantry Division as the general reserve team. I asked him to personally lead two divisions into the attack on the core position of the Tsivelisk Railway Station and outflank it from both wings. In the past, the newly arrived six artillery companies set up their positions as soon as possible, and together with the artillery of the southeast group, blocked the opponent's northeast retreat route!" Kolchak shouted excitedly.

The battle situation on July 1918, 7 can be described as ups and downs. Six main infantry divisions of the Third Army of the Soviet Russian Red Army plus a worker division, in addition to the strength of five armored train detachments, and Kolchak White Guards The three-way army, with nearly 23 people, launched an unprecedented fierce battle within a radius of 20 kilometers and a surrounding area of ​​more than [-] kilometers.

Kolchak's five infantry divisions and one cavalry division of the Eastern Route Army of the White Guards under his personal command were still unable to break through the iron triangle defense line under the command of Soviet Russian Berzin. Although the two sides suffered heavy casualties, they became a stalemate.

On the afternoon of the 23rd, after Moscow notified the Volga Front Army of the movements of Kolchak's West Route Army and Central Route Army, it took a turn for the worse. The signs of the third Berzin Army's contraction and retreat were detected by Kolchak and his chief of staff. After the capture, Kolchak decisively ordered a full-line attack, and the West Route Army launched a river-crossing attack with two cavalry divisions and three infantry divisions in Kozmodemyansk and Cheboksary respectively.

The two cavalry divisions of the Central Route Army quickly broke through the Alexandrovna Ferry that the Soviet Red Army had abandoned, but the three infantry divisions of the West Route Army of the White Guards failed to achieve the expected progress in the crossing attack in Cheboksary. The 5th Division of the Kazan Infantry, which was in charge of the northeast attack, captured the abandoned position of the 4th Division of the Soviet Russian Infantry, followed by Kolchak's centripetal assault.

The former enemy commander of the Central Route Army, General Krashilnikov, led the two Don Cossack cavalry divisions along the south bank of the Volga River to Cheboksary, while the main force of the 5th Kazan infantry division and the 3nd division of the 2rd Don cavalry division After breaking through the northeast defense line of the Soviet Red Army, the brigade did not go south to Tsivlisk, which was still fighting fiercely, but went straight to Cheboksary in the northwest. m
