Beiyang 1917

"In this way, the enemy in front of the 10th Cavalry Brigade has recovered to more than 1 people, while the 10th Brigade has only more than 4000 people left. Although it has received fire support from the artillery and heavy machine gun battalions, it cannot quickly defeat the enemy for a while. With a narrow relationship, the follow-up troops have no place to go ashore!"

"Sergei Nikolaevich, then you should let the follow-up troops cross the river from the two wings, no, you should let the 10th brigade attack the two wings of the opposing position, and leave the middle landing field empty for the follow-up 11th cavalry brigade Continue to land ashore!" Chief of Staff Hastings couldn't help but said. .)

"Who said it wasn't, Your Excellency the Chief of Staff, that's what I commanded at the time. The two regiments of the 10th Cavalry Brigade who landed on the south bank broke through to the two wings along the river from the left and the right. The central yang was the heavy machine gun battalion and two artillerymen. The company’s fire support, and the space vacated for the two regiments of the 11th Brigade to continue to forcibly cross!” Timilev’s answer once again caused a buzzing sound in the conference room!

Apparently, the former commander-in-chief of the West Route Army, Timilev's command in front of the battle was quite satisfactory, with no flaws. Except for the lack of crossing equipment and the limited conditions of the crossing, which made it impossible for the White Guards to cross too many troops and equipment at one time, other On the one hand Sergei Nikolaevich Timilev's conduct is impeccable.

Kolchak asked all the way until now, and he finally sighed in his heart. Just like what most of the White Guard generals present thought, if he changed his command, he might not be able to command better than Timilev. Obviously, in the end The two Cossack cavalry divisions of the Western Route Army and Timilev cannot be blamed for the failure!

"Alexander Vasilievich, from this point of view, Sergei Nikolaevich's command is nothing to fault! The other party must have sent the troops retreating from Tsivelisk to Kozmoj in the first place. Myansk went to strengthen the line of defense, and finally the cavalry division of the Western Route Army was unable to break through the opponent's position!" Chief of Staff Hastings's mind turned quickly, and he turned to Kolchak beside him.

"That's right! Your Excellency Chief of Staff, what you said is right. When my 5th Brigade of the 11th Cavalry Division also landed on the south bank, the Soviet Red Army reinforcements on the opposite side have been continuously coming from Cheboksary. There were even 2 armored trains coming!

If it weren't for the opponent's eagerness to retreat, plus our artillery on the north bank desperately fired to cover the troops on the south bank, and finally the Cossacks of the 5th Division dismounted and fought bravely!Not only can we not hold the ferry, but it is very likely that we will be driven down the Volga River by the enemy! "

The last words of Sergei Nikolaevich Timirev finally solved the mystery of Rashomon. In fact, later on, Kolchak and Hastings had already realized this in their hearts. In the end, the Soviet Red Army and Berzin are not wooden people. Once they start to retreat, with the convenience of railway lines and trains, it is natural and conceivable to use the greatest strength in their hands to reinforce and protect the safety of the rear ferry and flanks.

The meeting room was silent for a long time, and Kolchak, who hadn’t spoken any more, finally sighed, waved his hand and said, “There is a reason for the failure of the Western Route Army’s detour. Vicky, I hope your luck won't be so bad next time!"

"What do you think of the next move!" Kolchak asked with a serious face.

The entire combat conference room was silent, and the encounter with the Soviet Red Army in the two days of war can be described as good and bad. The good news is that Kolchak's Eastern Route Army severely damaged the third army of the Soviet Russian Red Army in the battle of crossing the river in Kazan yesterday. The main force, and drove the enemy back 120 kilometers.

At the same time, the progress of the detour troops from all walks of life was quite smooth yesterday. The north bank of the Volga River was calm. It seemed that the Soviet Red Army had completely given up the fight for the north bank and completely shrunk to the south bank. The 1st Division also repelled the troops of the Tenth Army of the Soviet Union north of Tetyushi, eating at least one regiment of the opponent.

If the Volga Federation had not suddenly created a 50-kilometer-wide demilitarized zone on the left bank of the Volga River under the command of the Allied Forces, the 1st and 2nd Divisions of the Don Cossack Cavalry in the south might have achieved even greater results in the south. The cavalry in the plains naturally has the advantage of mobility over the infantry, not to mention that even in terms of firepower, the Don River Cavalry Division equipped with heavy machine gun battalions and artillery companies is not weaker than any infantry division of the Soviet Tenth Army.

Moreover, the nonsensical 50-kilometer demilitarized zone of the Volga Federation actually helped the Kazan White Guards to avoid some worries, and pushed the front to the hinterland of the west of Soviet Russia, and caused the opponent to lose the fire support and river transportation of the Volga River fleet. Soldiers and the convenience of supporting logistics.

But who would have thought that only one day later, the defeated army of the previous day, the shrinking troops of the Soviet Russian Third Army, under the command of Berzin and his chief of staff, Mezhninov, turned into a tough one. The hard walnuts actually taught the White Guard generals a lesson in the iron triangle of Cheboksarytsivelisk and Alexandrovna.

It was originally expected that the Red Army of the Soviet Union would be defeated as it was in the Battle of Ufa, but the Soviet Third Army, which had just suffered heavy losses the day before, had a new look after retreating to the established defense line of the Iron Triangle. , It was inseparable from the East Route Army of the White Guards led by His Excellency Kolchak, and he was not at a disadvantage.

The White Guards lost the main force of 21 regiments during the two-day battle. More than half of the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd divisions of the Kazan infantry were almost disabled. If the fight continues, is the future still bright?The generals of the White Guards present here felt uneasy, and the heroic spirit before dispatching troops obviously disappeared a lot at this moment.

Seeing Kolchak's low-pitched question, most of the White Guard generals present were watching their noses and noses, and they didn't dare to look at their commander-in-chief. They were obviously guilty!

"Why don't you talk! The battle has only been fought for two days, but it's just a small setback. The Soviet Russian Berzin's Third Army just slipped out of the encirclement due to good luck. Otherwise, the opponent at this moment It’s time to abolish the establishment of the Third Army in the Volga Front Army! Where did your ambitions go when you swore to go out in Kazan the night before?! Is this the Russian who vowed to follow me and fight back to my hometown?! "

Kolchak looked at a group of subordinates who were silent, and got angry, slapped the table and shouted. - No pop-up window reading_m
