Beiyang 1917

Now our troops have moved eastward along the railway line, and we are ready to choose an opportunity to destroy the railway line, and look for fighter planes to encircle the points in the middle of Reskovo and Yadlin for reinforcements. The enemy infantry cannot pose a threat to our side. What we need to beware of is For the armored train defending, our anti-aircraft artillery battalion is not enough to threaten the armor of the armored train on the other side, details will be reported later.

"Kolchak has only one brigade to defend Reskovo? Then the cavalry detachment can fully take advantage of the firepower of three heavy machine gun battalions and two anti-aircraft artillery battalions to try to take Reskovo down! Why? Withdraw after a dozen?" Chernavin was the first to shout after reading the telegram.

"It's black and white, the opponent's brigade is defending Reskovo with emergency repair fortifications, and there are artillery companies and heavy machine gun battalions. The armored trains and reinforcements from the northwest can be reinforced at any time. I said Vladimir Nikolai Lajevich, your courage is admirable, but Comrade Yefim Afanasyevich was a brave man who broke through the encirclement with a cavalry brigade in the battle of Ufa, and you would not think that he avoided the enemy cowardly war?"

It should be said that Xia Jianke, who led the cavalry detachment to attack, was a cavalry general from Tsaritsin and the Southern Front Army, but at the moment Xia Jianke is serving as the political commissar of Berzin's Third Army, not to mention, Berzin is looking The chief of staff of the front army, Chernavin, was not pleasing to the eye. Seeing that he spoke so lightly, as if fighting was easy, he couldn't help retorting immediately.

"I'm done talking, be careful! Karl Ivanovich, you are the commander of the Third Army, and the Chief of Staff of the Front Army is your superior, so be polite!" Front Army Political Commissar Kamenev couldn't help but come out to clean up the situation , then turned to Chief of Staff Chernawin and said,

"Vladimir Nikolaevich, you are the commander of the front army. You must know that your current status is different from when you were the commander of the army group. You must consider all aspects. Unity is very important!"

"Okay! Don't talk anymore, don't look at the time anymore, it's a waste of time to do trivial things. Now the cavalry detachment has found out that the enemy has only one brigade left behind in Reskovo. Just now Berzin said that Stavo's enemy exceeds one division, so it seems that Kolchak's main force is not on the northern front, at least not in Kostovo!" Voroshilov waved his hand and made his own judgment!

"Report! The 1st Army Headquarters in Sarask is calling!" Before Voroshilov could finish speaking, another confidential staff officer sent a telegram. {.

The Chief of Staff of the Front Army, Chernavin, stepped forward to grab the telegram, took a quick look at it, and raised his head and said, "Good news! Tukhachevsky, Sha Boyang, and Fumanov have returned to the 1st Army. There were only dozens of cavalry left, and they walked around the Kazakh steppe in the south, but finally returned to the Volga River!"

All the senior Soviet and Russian generals in the war room of the front army were stunned when they heard the words. At this moment, Tukhachevsky actually returned to the army in time, which seemed to be a good sign. Grab the telegram from Chernavin's hand, read it hastily, and soon, raised his head and said,

"Comrade Mikhail Nikolaevich Tukhachevsky has sent a telegram to Moscow to assume his duties and officially took over the command of the 1st Army!"

"What did the telegram say, have you found traces of the main force of Kolchak's White Guard near Saransk? How is their situation in the north?" Voroshilov, the deputy commander of the front army and former commander-in-chief of the enemy, snatched Kaminie away anxiously. I read the telegram in my husband's hand.

"The 1st Army Group and Budyonny's Cavalry Army are reorganizing and reorganizing as soon as possible. That is, Sarask's troops are now short of rifles, machine guns, cannons, and ammunition. No trace of the White Guards has been found within a hundred versts. Alatari in the north couldn’t get through on the phone before this evening, and Shumerlia, north of Alatri, has lost contact for more than 24 hours! Tukhachevsky judged that the Kolchak White Guards had gone south from Cheboksary possible!"

Voroshilov put down the telegram in his hand, with a heavy heart, raised his head and was speechless for a while, Sergey Sergeyevich Kamenev, the commander of the Fifth Army, stood up and said ,

"Kliment Yefremovich, comrades, I think the situation is not good. The 1st Army and the Budyonny Cavalry Army combined have less than seven divisions, and there is a lack of weapons and ammunition. Among them, Tuha More than half of the commanders and fighters of Chevsky's 1st Army were just released from the Volga Federation's prisoner-of-war camps, their morale was low in all aspects, and their food supply was insufficient! They certainly couldn't withstand the attack of Kolchak's main force!"

Here, Berzin has already walked to the battle map hanging on the wall, gestured carefully, turned around and said, "At present, it is indeed the case. Kolchak's feint deceived us, and his main force did not come down." Novgorod, but quietly left Cheboksary and went south. I estimate that Kolchak won at least a day or a day and a half. That is to say, his main force had left Cheboksary at noon yesterday at the latest Boxary!"

Berzin’s words startled all the senior Soviet generals in the Front Army Command. Voroshilov walked quickly to the map and carefully looked at the distance and terrain on the map from Cheboksary to Sarask. , Here Berzin has overstepped his role as the chief of staff of the Front Army, picked up a red and blue pencil and drew an arrow from Cheboksary to the south-southwest, pointing directly at Shumelya.

Then he gestured the distance with his hands, and said to everyone, "From Cheboksary to the southwest to Shumelya, at most a hundred kilometers, if Kolchak's main force going south is infantry, he can get there in two days. It's a cavalry, hurry up and arrive in a day!"

"I know the place of Shumerlia. It is a small town in the south of Chuvash region, next to the right bank of the lower reaches of the Sula River. The road from Nizhny Novgorod to Simbirsk passes through the town. , a hundred kilometers to the northeast is Cheboksary.

In my opinion, whether Kolchak's main force is infantry or cavalry, it is entirely possible for Kolchak's main force to drive [-] kilometers south to occupy Shumerlia in one and a half days plus one night, and the Sula River can also Going down the river, the troops can just take a boat! Shaposhnikov, Chief of Staff of the Fifth Army, stood up and said.
