Beiyang 1917

"I obey! Your Excellency, but what if the Soviet Red Army comes around to attack us somewhere?" Roslavlev scratched his head and asked. This guy is a brave general, but sometimes he likes to be horny. It's endless to ask.

"Don't worry, according to reconnaissance, the main army of the Soviet Red Army has withdrawn to Nizhny Novgorod. From Yadlin to Reskov, there are at most a few captured guerrillas and Soviet scouts who want to attack It's impossible to go down to Reskov. If a small group of enemies comes, you can kill them quickly and neatly. If a large group of enemies comes, you should send a telegram by radio as soon as possible. In addition to sending it to me, copy it to the garrison Yadrin's 5th brigade, and copy to Cheboksary's group headquarters!"

Dubrovsky drove the nagging commander of the 6th Brigade out of his command car and looked back and forth. The troops of the 6th Brigade had finished their rest, had lunch and packed up. The division staff and star officers blew their whistles, and the armored train started slowly and moved forward.

Many soldiers from the 6st Regiment of the 1th Brigade of the White Guards who hadn't boarded the vehicle hurriedly climbed into the troop carriage under the urging, beating and scolding of the officer, while the Cossack cavalrymen of the two battalions mounted their horses one after another. Run forward along both sides of the railway.

Here, Roslavlev, the commander of the 6th Brigade, loudly commanded the soldiers of the 2nd Regiment to escort the Soviet Russian soldiers captured from the villages and towns along the railway line in the morning, and began to prepare to dig trenches along the railway line to arrange fortifications and defense lines.

"Report to the detachment leader, the cavalry reconnaissance company is back!" A combat staff officer reported at the door of a large tent in the woods.

"How's the situation? Have you figured it out? Kamen Antonievich!" Xia Tenko, the commander of the cavalry detachment sent by Nizhny Novgorod to counterattack and block, walked out of the tent quickly. The cavalry reconnaissance company commander Kamen Antonievich Khorchov, who jumped off his horse, was also a Don Cossack cavalry, but he voted for Soviet Russia. He was a cavalry soldier of the Soviet Red Army. The battle on the front line was one of the backbones that Xia Jianke brought from the Budyonny cavalry division.

At ten o'clock last night, Xia Jianke, the political commissar of the Third Russian Army, led a temporary cavalry detachment from Nizhny Novgorod, drove 80 kilometers in one night, and sneaked into this large forest before dawn They took cover, and because they were worried that the wind of walking would expose their targets, Xia Tenke's troops did not follow the railway line, but marched ten kilometers south of the railway line.

The cavalry detachment of the Soviet Red Army responsible for blocking and containing the offensive of the White Guards consists of 3 heavy machine gun battalions, 2 anti-aircraft artillery battalions and 4 cavalry battalions. The anti-aircraft guns are quite mobile. Although they are traveling at night, since most of the time this place is in the Soviet-Russia-controlled area, they did not go wrong under the guidance of the guide along the way.

"Reporting to the political commissar, the White Guards of Gouri have already occupied Reskovo. We have not been able to get too close. The enemy has blocked the range of five kilometers on both sides of the railway. The White Guards were driven out of the village, and I sent a few groups of soldiers to change into plainclothes, and deliberately asked the White Guards to be arrested as ordinary people, and when they come back, we will be able to figure out the situation in Reskovo!"

The reconnaissance company commander Horchov gulped down a few sips of water, handed the water bag back to Xia Tenko's orderly next to him, wiped his mouth, saluted his political commissar first, and then reported.

"Can't you get closer? Why don't you grab a few tongues and come back?" Qiaobanov, the commander of the 2nd Cavalry Battalion from the Fifth Army, asked aside.

"Scratch your tongue? How? Comrade Battalion Commander, the other side's search troops on the south side of the railway have at least one regiment of White Guards, and there are thousands of cavalrymen alone. If I run too slowly, I will ask the White Guards to stay in the village. Besides, the political commissar must not expose the target, and the shot fired at daylight will not cause trouble?" Horchov stared and said, completely ignoring Chobanov who came from the Fifth Army.

"Is the opponent's defense so strict? Can they get close to the train station? Is there an armored train? How many enemy troops are occupying Reskovo?" Xia Tenke asked, frowning.

"The White Guards have iron-clad trains, and there are more than one train. We asked a few fellow villagers who live along the railway line to ask about the situation. Since the middle of the night last night, the guns along the railway line in Reskov have been ringing non-stop, and there are cannons. But it gradually subsided in the middle of the night.

The White Guard's offensive was very fierce. A company of the local troops originally stationed in Reskovo fought with the guerrillas, but they couldn't stop it at all. Most of them died in battle, a small number were captured, and the rest scattered to the west. , we traveled a long way from the south last night, so we didn't run into each other! ’ replied Holcoff.

"What is the number and number of the White Guards who are playing the vanguard, how many troops are there, and how many armored trains does the enemy have?" Sorohekin, the commander of the 1st Cavalry Battalion from the Front Army Command, couldn't help asking.

Xia Jianke is condescending. As the political commissar of the group army, the largest unit in the cavalry detachment under his command is actually the battalion commander. He directly skipped the third level of the division, brigade and regiment. A military meeting was held around the tent of the command headquarters, while the nine battalion-level political commissars were in charge of their respective battalions and troops at this time.

These battalion commanders are not familiar with each other. Even Xia Jianke, the political commissar of the group army and the leader of the cavalry detachment, can't call all the battalion commanders by name at the moment. After all, it only takes one night and half a day to get together. It is a big deal to be able to identify which battalion it is. The cavalry battalion drawn by the Front Army Command was organized into the 1st Battalion of the Cavalry Detachment. The battalion commander was Sorokhkin.

The cavalry battalion transferred by the Fifth Army was led by the bearded Chobanov, and was organized into the 2nd Battalion by Xia Tenke. The commanders are Belkin and Herman respectively, and the three heavy machine gun battalions are organized into the 3st, 4nd and 1rd heavy machine gun battalions. The battalion commanders are Liganov, Serepov and Charchak respectively.

The anti-aircraft artillery battalion was organized into the 1st and 2nd anti-aircraft battalions, the battalion commanders were Ruslan and Polyusky, and the chief of staff of the cavalry detachment was Pavel Alexievich Belov Comrade Belov fought bravely under the command of Xiatenko in the breakout battle of the Battle of Ufa. He was promoted from a platoon leader to a battalion commander on the front line. When he returned to the left bank of the Volga River, this guy followed Xiatenko to the No. The third army took office, and was promoted from cavalry battalion commander to battalion-level combat staff officer. At this moment, Xia Jianke simply made him his chief of staff.
