Beiyang 1917

() In fact, in the case of a large retreat and the inability to take away the lightly and severely wounded smoothly, this is the helpless choice agreed by Gidis, Kliuyev and Pavlov. The wounded of the Soviet Red Army put down their weapons. Civilians, entering the demilitarized buffer zone, may at least avoid the fate of being captured or massacred by the Kolchak White Guards. Sacrifice makes more sense.

The northernmost first line of defense of the 10th Army of the Soviet Union is about 70 kilometers away from the main line of the Sezran Kuznetsov Railway in the south at this time, while the position of the 8th Infantry Division of the 16th Army in the south is about 35 kilometers away. The railway line is about [-] kilometers.

According to the retreat plan agreed upon by the Troika of the 10th Army of the Soviet Union, the most precious time to retreat is before 6:4 a.m., during this golden period of silence, and you can’t see your fingers. The vanguard will be able to set off about half an hour before the departure of the main force, but the retreat of more than [-] troops at night requires a certain amount of preparation time.

Basically, if all goes well, by 6:8 in the morning, nearly 4 people from the 4th Division of the 8th Group under the command of Political Commissar Kliuyev will smoothly withdraw to the vicinity of the railway line. If the locomotives and wagons mobilized by Sk and Penza can arrive smoothly, at least the 4 divisions of the 6th Army will be able to evacuate smoothly, and at 10 o'clock in the morning, the 4 main infantry of the 20th Army led by Army Commander Gidis The division will withdraw from the Simbirsk line to a position more than [-] kilometers away from the railway line.

At this time, it depends on whether Kolchak's full-scale offensive has begun. According to the ultimatum issued by the Volga Federation, I believe that Kolchak will not take risks. At least the two cavalry divisions stranded in the demilitarized buffer zone should have moved westward. Kill it, of course, the most likely thing is that these two cavalry divisions should go north to outflank the rear of the Soviet Red Army's northern defense line, because Kolchak's main force is always concentrated on the northern line, and there are only 2 cavalry divisions on the western line Cruising, two of them interspersed into the non-military buffer zone to the east after a night attack, while the northern line was composed of 4 infantry divisions and 7 half-cavalry divisions!

Ji.. "" The 4 divisions commanded by Gidis will withdraw to the vicinity of the railway line before 9:3 am. Be sure, as long as the enemy does not catch up with more than [-] divisions, no matter whether it is infantry or cavalry, they can beat the opponent back!

The most dangerous situation is not the 42nd Infantry Division and the lightly or severely wounded who retreated southeast into the demilitarized buffer zone. The field hospital of the group army was originally located near the demilitarized buffer zone.

During the great retreat, the most dangerous thing was to lead an understaffed 1st Kamyshin Infantry Division plus 8 artillery companies to defend the northern front. 41st Division, as long as these two divisions can attract the enemy and stick to it until 9 o'clock in the morning, then at least 8 main divisions of the Soviet Red Army's southern front can be completely evacuated this time. This is quite a remarkable achievement. In front of an army of 17, 8 main divisions were completely withdrawn!

The retreat direction of the 1st Kamyshin Infantry Division is not to the south, but to the east, entering the non-military buffer zone. If you encounter the Volga Federation troops, then "Chapter 1917 of Beiyang 750 ([-]) Flank encirclement" put down your weapons and wait Repatriation, if not?Then spread out and retreat southward in small groups within the non-military buffer zone... Although the coalition air force is strong, can't the planes go down to the ground to catch prisoners?

After the cannons of the 8 artillery companies have completed the mission of covering the break, if there are any cannons that survived the fierce artillery battle, they will also be destroyed by Pavlov's troops...and must not fall into the hands of Kolchak !

Dmitry Grigorievich Pavlov, Chief of Staff of the Army Group, who took on the most severe task, although the 1st Kamyshin Infantry Division in his hand was already full of personnel, but Gidis gave this slowly The rising star left behind a cavalry regiment, which was the unit of the glorious Budyonny's cavalry army, which pretended to be a brigade to join the Soviet 10th Army to the east.

Of course, the task of the 41st Infantry Division defending the western line of defense is also quite arduous. On the opposite side are two Cossack cavalry divisions, and the width of the position is as long as 2 km. Nikolaevich Tkachov is also a master who can fight tough battles. The task of his division is to cover the flanks of the 30st "Beiyang 41" Division of the Kamyshin Infantry, and detain as many enemies as possible to the east-breakthrough time.

The 41st Infantry Division brought by Tkachov, the only gratification is that the enemy in front of him has only 2 Cossack cavalry divisions, unlike the 1st Kamyshin Infantry Division led by the Army Chief of Staff Pavlov. Resisting the attack of the enemy's 7 infantry divisions and 3 cavalry divisions is chilling to think about. Of course, Kolchak's troops did not swarm up in a swarm. During the three attacks yesterday, Gore Chak only used one infantry division successively, and Kolchak's headquarters is located in the northwest corner, opposite the 2-kilometer defense line on the northern line, he placed [-] White Guard infantry divisions.

The remaining 2 infantry divisions are in the northwest corner, and the remaining 3 infantry divisions are still resting fifteen kilometers away from the northern line. The 3 cavalry divisions are also guarding the headquarters in the northwest direction. On the way, although the two clusters of the White Guards, the east and the west, merged smoothly, the fatigue of the troops was even worse than that of the Soviet Red Army on the defensive side.

In the decisive battle plan formulated by Kolchak on July 7, the two Cossacks on the western front, the 31st and 1nd Divisions of the Cossack Cavalry, will detour south and prepare to outflank the flanks and rear of the Soviet Eighth Army. , while the 2th and 8th Cossack Cavalry Divisions in the Demilitarized Zone on the Eastern Front will turn back to the west to catch the Russian Red Army by surprise. It turned out that the positions of the 4st and 5nd divisions had a centripetal breakthrough.

On the northern front, Hastings will lead the 2th, 7th and 8th infantry divisions of the Kazan 9nd Army to attack Nanping. Because the divisions were not full of personnel, only two-thirds of their strength was left to serve as reserves.In the northwest direction, Kolchak will invest in the 4th and 5th Cavalry Divisions to intersperse, outflanking the flanks of the northern defense line of the Soviet Russian Red Army.
