Ulyanov was anxious to snatch the telegram from Sverdlov and put it under the lamp and squinted his eyes. Sverdlov simply sat down and listened to Trotsky's explanation, making him feel more relaxed and worry-free. Of course, the 1st Army Tukhachevsky fell into the Kolchak suspicion formation, which made Sverdlov, the commander of the front army and the vice chairman of the Supreme Military Commission who supported Tukhachevsky, also had a little troublesome. However, in terms of the benefits, at least a complete 1st Army was retained in Saransk, right?

"Although Kolchak's number of cannons is not as large as ours, his Cossack cavalry is very mobile. Just 2 hours ago, Kolchak's two cavalry divisions used night attacks to break through the position of the 8th Group, which had been traveling north to reinforce, attacked the Army Command, ate the forces of nearly one of our divisions and seized at least 6 artillery companies!

The 8th Group Political Commissar Mikhai Mikhaievich Lasevic was injured, Chief of Staff Rathosky was killed, and the 12th Infantry Division was almost wiped out. Now the 13th Infantry Division, the 15th and 16th Divisions were under the command of Rashovitch. "It has retreated to the second-line position to organize the defense line." Trotsky's tone was bitter, and this amazing news shocked the Soviet zhongyang members present.

Ulyanov hurriedly read the telegram and slapped the table hard and shouted, "Rashevich, the political commissar of the 8th Army, should be shot! Why didn't the jing ring be strengthened? Why did the enemy's intersecting and siege disrupt the situation? Good guy, the army headquarters and artillery positions were all taken down. This is dereliction of duty, this is a crime and betrayal of the revolution. Derrensky, where did Derrensky go? What are the Chekas doing? Why does this happen! Who will give me the answer!"

Although the chairman of the Soviet zhongyang committee was small, he had a high voice, and the forehead was covered in oil and sweat. The master was running back and forth in the conference room with his waist, furious and violent. Sverdlov and Trotsky looked at each other and smiled bitterly. The battlefield situation was still proud before the evening, but he expected that he would suffer such a big loss after nightfall!

Trotsky is obviously a powerful person who can remember the news. The battle report in the telegram just now is as vivid as it has been scanned. This guy directed several staff officers to mark the most battle and losses on the map, to prevent the change of the line. After the change of the line, he picked up the baton and continued to explain why the current situation is serious.

"Comrades, Kolchak is quite cunning. He is the most terrible enemy to the Soviets. Since the Allies and the Volga Federation drew 50 kilometers on the left bank of the Volga River into a non-military buffer zone, the main position of our southern defense line is 50 kilometers west of Simbirsk. The defense line organized by Giddies is roughly an irregular trapezoid. The front line of the northern line is fifteen kilometers wide, and then it extends fifteen kilometers to the northwest line. The thirty kilometers of defense line are defended by the three infantry divisions of the 1o group of Giddies."

The defense line fifteen kilometers down from the northwest defense line is the defense of the 8th Army of Rasevic. In addition, the 16th Infantry Division of the 8th Group is responsible for protecting the rear of the southern line, and the 12th Infantry Division serves as the reserve force of the army on the second-line position six kilometers east of the western defense line. This is also the location of the Army Command!"

After Trotsky said this, the following zhongyang members could not sit still. Zinoviev held a pipe and asked in confusion, "Since the 12th Infantry Division and the Army Command are both located ten kilometers behind the first line of defense, what?" Beiyang 1917 Chapter 740 (there are night attacks everywhere." Can Kolchak still asks the Army Command to defeat the 12th Infantry Division?! Did the two Cossack Cavalry Divisions fly over the line of defense with wings?"

"Of course it was not a flight. Kolchak's offensive focus during the day was the north line and the southwest. The 10th Army defeated the enemy's three attacks due to the superior artillery and terrain. The opponent's casualties had a division, and we roughly lost a brigade. However, because the enemy focused on attacking the north line and the southwest, the position and defense line of the 8th Army of Rasevic did not stand the test. Therefore, after nightfall, it became a breakthrough for the Kolchak Cavalry Division's night attack attack!"

Trotsky said, drawing two big arrows from the northwest and southwest directions to the headquarters of the Army Headquarters and the 12th Infantry Division behind the front line of the 8th Army, drawing big forks,

"Lasevic and the 12th Infantry Division obviously did not expect that the enemy would attack at night and quickly break through the front line. Did you see that the enemy's breakthrough was at the junction of the 10th Army and the 8th Army, and the southern line was at the junction of the 13th Division and the 16th Division!

"Beiyang 1917" What is abominable is that Kolchak's cavalry troops took advantage of the night to pretend to be our Budoni cavalry army and deceived the front-line sentry and Jingjing troops, and broke through the front-line positions and went straight to the rear. The goal was to use a tactic of a black tiger to get out of his heart. If it weren't for the 13th Infantry, the two commanders of the 15th Division commanded the troops to strictly guard the main position and fight to the death, the entire southwest defense line would collapse, and the 8th Army would probably be wiped out."

"Who is the commander of the 12th Infantry Division? Should be shot! Is the 2nd Infantry Division the main division? Why can't I withstand the impact of the two enemy cavalry divisions?" Ulyanovsky stopped with a blue face and stared at Trotsky and shouted.

"The commander of the 12th Infantry Division was the chief of staff of the group army, Rathesky, and the entire division was sleeping in the camp. After a sudden attack by the Cossack cavalry, he was caught off guard and suffered heavy casualties. Rathesky was also killed on the spot. The 12th Infantry Division was almost defeated, and the cannons of six artillery companies on the artillery position were also seized by the enemy. In this battle, the casualties of the opponent were at most 2ooo people! And we lost at least 9ooo people!" Trotsky's tone was quite low and disappointed.

"In our back" entertainment show" can the enemy capture the cannon and take it away? Didn't the main force of Giddies' 1O Army fight back? Even if the other three infantry divisions of the 8th Army gather together, they can stop the two cavalry divisions of the opponent? "Bukharin asked self-righteously.

"But they captured the cannons and dragged them away with three sets of carriages. Giddies's 1O Army sent two divisions south to block the breakthrough and urgent reinforcements, but the two enemy Cossack cavalry divisions were very cunning. They did not retreat westward to the attack and exit, but went directly to the east to retreat..." Trotsky's answer was quite vague?
