Years of the Republic of China 1913

From the very beginning of the battle, the phone calls from the Red Army Headquarters never stopped, and the staff officers who were sweating profusely came in and out, and one piece of information was continuously sent to Commander Tukhachevsky.

"More than half of the Seventh Infantry Division has lost more than half of its frontier positions..." Timoshenko read the latest news with a calm expression, while Tukhachevsky sat in front of the map with slightly closed eyes, looking He couldn't tell whether it was joy or sorrow. After a long time, he said three words coldly: "Got it."

More than half an hour later, the new news arrived at the headquarters. After reading the note, Timoshenko couldn't help but feel a little moved, and whispered in Tukhachevsky's ear: "The offensive of the white bandits is still going on. The second line of defense of the [-]th Infantry Division was also breached in many places, the political commissar of the division died heroically, the division commander was seriously injured, the deputy division commander requested emergency support from the headquarters, Comrade Tukhachevsky, look, is it..."

"Tell them, don't take a single step back! The deputy commander sacrificed the head of the regiment to go up, and the battalion commander went up if the head of the regiment died! All Bolshevik party members and cadres must take the lead and stand firm! Don't give up an inch!" Tukhachevsky Slowly opened his eyes, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and replied in an unquestionable tone.

Brother Timoshen opened his mouth, and was about to say a few words of persuasion, but the words still didn't come out from his mouth.Tukhachevsky's decision is tactically correct. Although the Red Army has long been prepared and there is no shortage of reserves, under the current circumstances, the Seventh Infantry Division must not reinforce casually. Fight alone under the fierce attack of the enemy, even at the expense of all members.

You must know that the role of the Seventh Infantry Division is to serve as a bait. Once the bait loses its use, the preset plan of this battle will not succeed.Sacrifice the [-]th Infantry Division, thus winning the entire campaign.It's worth it for the battle situation.What's more, every Bolshevik should have been prepared to sacrifice for the revolution, and now is the time to test them.It is worth the price to exchange his flesh and blood for the success of the revolution.

"Comrade Tukhachevsky, I believe that all the comrades of the [-]th Infantry Division on the front line will use their iron will and fearless spirit to complete the task." Finally, Timoshenko replied.

for the next few hours.Constantly bad news came one after another.The 1th Infantry Division, which bears the brunt of the brunt, remained high in casualties. By around 3700 p.m., the 700th Infantry Division, with a total of more than [-] personnel, had only less than [-] troops left, and all of them were lightly or severely wounded. The deputy division commander and regimental commander were all killed, and the current supreme commander of the Seventh Infantry Division is only a deputy battalion commander.

"It's almost done, let the Fifth Infantry Division cover the Seventh Infantry Division for a strategic shift." Tukhachevsky finally stood up from his seat, picked up the military cap that was placed aside, put it on, and pointed at the man next to him. The mirror straightened the army's appearance: "Tell the troops. Follow the plan!"

"Yes!" Timoshenko had been waiting for this sentence for a long time, and his black and red face showed a hint of excitement. From the beginning of the battle to the present, the Red Army has been passively defending, and even took in an entire infantry division. Now It was finally time to get ready to teach the reactionaries a hard lesson, Timoshenko excitedly agreed, and hurried to make arrangements.

The Seventh Infantry Division of the Red Army was basically disabled.When they were withdrawn, there were only less than 200 soldiers in the whole division, and hundreds of seriously wounded people actively stayed on the ground in order to cover the retreat of their comrades.And perish together with the enemies who pounced on them.When bursts of sporadic explosions came from the position not far away, the officers and soldiers of the [-]th Infantry Division covering the transfer mission all shed tears, which also deepened their hatred for the reactionary forces of Tsarist Russia in their hearts. .

Throughout the offensive, the casualties of the Russian Imperial Government Army were also not small. Although they had stronger artillery support than the Red Army, the price they paid was no less than that of the Soviet Red Army.

Compared with the almost total destruction of the 3000th Infantry Division.The casualties of the Russian Imperial Government Army reached about 1. It can be said that the casualty ratio of the two sides reached almost 1:[-]. Although the final position fell into the enemy's hands, it also brought a huge blow to the enemy.

With great effort, the remaining resistance on the position was wiped out, and the Russian imperial government army that came forward did not stop.Due to the breakthrough of the position, what is before them is the open land of the Siberian Plain. According to the order of the headquarters, the Russian Imperial Government Army used a full reorganization division in this assault. The main task of this reorganization division is to break through the gap. Then marched in depth, annihilating the Red Army units on the left and right wings in one fell swoop.

Not long after the battle started, except for the frontal assault troops, the rest of the troops on the entire front were not idle. Although the battle was not as fierce as the frontal breakthrough point, it still put great pressure on the Soviet Red Army.

"Send a telegram to Your Excellency the Baron. Our troops have completely conquered the front line of defense and wiped out the remnants of the enemy. According to the battle plan, we will advance in depth. Please cooperate with all friendly forces!"

Under the protection of the guards, a major general of the Russian Empire with a medal on his chest stepped on the position that originally belonged to the Red Army. He raised his binoculars and looked around carefully. He looked back to the combat staff who followed him in high spirits.The telegram was quickly transmitted to the General Command of the Russian Imperial Government Army, and the reply was sent to the front line as soon as possible.The major general asked the troops to rest for a while, and soon began to attack in depth according to the original plan. At the same time, the coordinated attack of the friendly forces in the rear also started.

About ten kilometers away from the central position, the sound of rumbling artillery and continuous gunshots seemed to ring clearly in my ears.Compared with the central position where the battle was most intense, this place seemed much quieter.Because from the point of view of the terrain, this place happens to be an area with complex terrain. The two sides have never had a fierce battle here since the stalemate. Instead, they are nearly one kilometer apart, and each occupies a trench to confront each other.

But now, a battalion of the Russian Imperial Government Army that was originally stationed here has long been replaced by the 78th Regiment without the Red Army knowing.When everyone focused their attention on the central position, the 78th regiment was already in place, quietly waiting for the change in the battle situation to come.

"Hey! The fight is really lively." Deng Yanda is a guy who can't sit still at all. From the beginning of the battle in the early morning, he ran to the back of a mound with binoculars to watch the excitement, and specially pulled He took a companion, that is, his classmate and good friend Ye Ting.

"Cannons are prepared, troops charge, machine guns are fired... Hehe, it's still the same old European battlefield, with no technical content at all." Compared with the excited Deng Yanda, Ye Ting only watched for a while and was not interested in watching more. Compared with the Shandong New Army, Ye Ting participated in the expeditionary force and fought against the Germans on the battlefield. He has learned this tactic many times in the European battlefield. To be honest, compared with the European battlefield, The current battle can be said to be pediatrics, and he doesn't have much interest at all in his eyes.

"You are really a toad, haha, your tone is loud!" Deng Yanda rolled his eyes at Ye Ting, and retorted: "Haven't you read the latest textbooks on future tactics in the Central Military Academy? With the support of weapons and aircraft, is there any other way to break through the line of defense? Besides, isn’t this what war is like? Shells are flying everywhere, and bullets are rattling. Do you think all the troops are the same as our 78th regiment? "

"All right, all right, you're right, all right?" Ye Ting could only shake his head and give up with a wry smile and raised his hand after being rebutted by Deng Yanda's machine gun. He admitted that what Deng Yanda said was right, but Ye Ting, who had experienced the European battlefield, really didn't like it This level of fighting.Moreover, now his mind is full of future battle plans. According to the battle plan of the 78th Regiment Headquarters, it won't be long before they come forward.

"Zhesheng, do you think the leader's plan can be achieved?" Ye Ting couldn't help asking, worrying about the follow-up plan.

"Should be able to succeed..." Deng Yanda had no idea about this question. When it comes to combat and bravery, he and Ye Ting are both veritable generals, but when it comes to tactical command and strategic vision, the 78th Regiment does not think of anyone other than Bai Chongxi , even Zhang Zhizhong, chief of staff, can't compare.

"What? Are you worried that something will go wrong with the leader's plan?" Deng Yanda frowned and asked after thinking about it.

Ye Ting shook his head: "That's not true. At least from the perspective of the current battle situation, everything is going smoothly, but you also know that the battlefield is ever-changing, and details may change anytime and anywhere. I am thinking about what we should do if there is a change. Do."

"Hey, this is also true. Come on, come on, Xi Yi, why don't we plan a plan?" After hearing this, Deng Yanda's eyes lit up, he put down his binoculars and stopped looking at the situation in the center, and pulled Ye Ting to sit on the ground. Behind Qiu, they randomly found a stone and the two faced each other to conduct a tactical trial.

Time passed quickly, when Deng Yanda and Ye Ting were arguing with each other over a tactical idea, several guards rushed to find them, saying that the regiment leader was going to hold a pre-war meeting.Raising their hands and looking at their watches, they realized that it was already four o'clock in the afternoon. They quickly agreed, wiped off the densely drawn patterns on the ground with their feet, and rushed back to the regiment headquarters together.

The battle in the central position continued from early morning to night. After breaking through the Red Army's position, the reorganized division marched in depth in the afternoon of the same day, but encountered fierce resistance.Until the sun went down, their progress did not reach the pre-target. It was not until nightfall that the frontline commander issued an order to shrink the front line, preparing to continue the attack the next day.

The night gradually deepened, and the artillery fire and gunfire that had been ringing all day finally stopped, and the fierce battle also temporarily came to an end.But at the Red Army Headquarters, the lights were still brightly lit, and everyone was making final preparations. (To be continued..)
