Chapter 303 The tree fell and the hozen scattered

To be fair, Tukhachevsky's order was very timely. This guy was one of the best generals of the Soviet Red Army. He had a high degree of grasp and sensitivity in the battlefield. When the enemy's superior artillery was exposed, he needed to be decisive and resolute. At this time, letting three infantry divisions who were ploughed by the opponent's dense artillery fire launch an attack, it would undoubtedly be a death sentence. However, if Sayazi retreated, the retreated thousands of meters of fields under the pursuit of the enemy's artillery fire would become a hell on earth.-(

So Tukhachevsky made a quick decision and used a division to attract firepower and remove the remaining two divisions from the line of fire. As for the cannons of his 12 companies, he rushed forward, even if it could attract some firepower from the opponent's high ground, he could save more infantrymen from retreating.

Lezhevsky soon came back to his senses and quickly followed the order! This was the first time he realized that Tu and Chevsky, a young young man, could rise to the top and faint from the company commander's army and the group commander. In addition to being appreciated by Ulyanov, this guy really had the keenness and courage that a cluster commander must be! Or, iron-blooded and ruthless!

However, it was obvious that the artillery attack of the White Guards of the Ufa had been planned for a long time. Just as the Fourth Army issued an order to send a division to charge and cut off the rear. When the two divisions retreated, the roar of large-caliber heavy artillery sounded from the river bank of the Ufa urban area. The 150mm heavy howitzer group in the southeast of the Ufa urban area under the command of Wu Peifu began to show its power.

"It's over!" Tukhachevsky's heart sank suddenly. The Ufa enemy actually had a 150-caliber heavy howitzer ambushed in the southeast corner of the city. Judging from the density of artillery fire, the heavy howitzers on the artillery positions in the opposite urban area were at least 9 heavy artillery companies. "It's over... these three infantry divisions are completely finished!" Tukhachev murmured to himself, and a layer of mist couldn't help but rise in his eyes.

A 150mm heavy howitzer weighs 36 kilograms, while a 75mm field cannon weighs only 6 kilograms. The difference in power between large-caliber heavy artillery and 75mm caliber field can be imagined. The artillery fire from more than 30 artillery companies in three directions completely enveloped and covered the first position occupied by the Red Army in the southeast direction. Not to mention rushing out and withdrawing, a heavy grenade exploded in the crowd on the field can harvest the lives of dozens of Red Army soldiers.

The officers and soldiers of the other infantry divisions on standby in the fourth army behind the position were also stunned by the mutation on the front line. These were these Soviet Red Army soldiers from poor peasants and workers. Many of them had not participated in the battle between the Tsarist Russian troops on the Eastern Front and Germany and Austria. This was the first time they had seen how cannons dominated the victory and destiny of the battlefield!

In just under 30 minutes, the three Red Army infantry divisions that occupied the front trenches of the White Guard Army suffered more than half of the casualties under the dense artillery fire of the opponent. The rest curled up in the trenches and huge bullet craters and no longer dared to move around. Whether it was attacking or retreating, they had obviously surpassed their perception and ability. They could only lie on the ground holding their heads in place to avoid the shrapnel whistling in the air.--(Many people were shocked by the huge explosion and their ears were temporarily deaf, and they sat on the ground and muttered to themselves, not knowing what they were saying!

At this moment, the Baiwei Army's artillery fire plowed over like a plow of the ground for more than half an hour. Half of the casualties were already over, and three hundred meters in front and behind the positions were a death zone. In addition to the casualties in the trenches, at least 8,000 people were killed, 12,000 people were injured, and the lucky ones were only about five or six thousand intact.

Lezevsky quietly gave his political commissar a wink. Hevsin, the political commissar of the Fourth Army, understood it and turned around quietly.

Tukhachevsky and Ma Xin were all in a dark face. They didn't know how to end for a moment, so they sent the remaining five divisions to rush up to use the sea of ​​people to push the opponent's defense line. Under the bombardment of nearly 180 cannons, especially under the bombardment of 150 caliber heavy howitzers, this is undoubtedly a suicide, and even if it can be advanced to the banks of the Ural River? Two of the three artillery groups on the other side of the river, the wide Belaya River and Ural River are an insurmountable natural danger. Unless the opponent's shells are exhausted, this road will not work at all!

"Comrade Commander, you cannot use the troops of five divisions to save the remaining people on the position! If you keep the green mountains and there is no need to worry about the burning of firewood, we must be responsible for the lives of the Red Army soldiers!" Lezevsky persuaded Tukhachevsky, who was about to go wild.

Tukhachevsky himself was captured on the Eastern Front in the Tsarist Russian army and spent a long time in the Tsarist Russian prisoner-of-war camp in Germany. Of course, this guy knew that putting down his weapons and being a prisoner when he could not resist was a practice for fighting all the ** teams. There were many Tsarist Russian army who put down his weapons and became prisoners of war, but now he was a glorious Bolshevik. The Red Army soldiers put down their weapons were chilling!

Chika and the political commissar are the masters who can directly report to the Supreme Military Commission!

"Comrade Lezhevsky, I order the southeast front to stop the attack, and each division retreats five kilometers to re-establish the position. Before a new combat plan is introduced, stop the attack on the entire line and withdraws five kilometers to establish a reliable position! Get rid of the threat of the opponent's heavy artillery! I will leave it to you here! I will go back to the South Cluster Command to command the northwest battle! Comrade Ma Xin and I go back to the Cluster Command with me!"

Tukhachevsky obviously had a quick mind. He could not continue to take the blame for this mess and the blame. The remnants of the infantry division on the position must not surrender while he was commanding here. As for Lezevsky, after he left, he would take on the burden himself!

As for taking Ma Xin away, he was completely afraid that this kid would sue him in front of Stelveyov in the future, so he took him out for favors!

Ma Xin was originally frowning and in a heavy mood. When he heard Tukhachevsky say this, he nodded quickly. Tukhachevsky had already gotten on the horse and left surrounded by the guards. The guy quickly patted Lezevsky's shoulder to show encouragement. Then he turned red and took his guard to chase the commander of the South Cluster.

The two infantry divisions of the Second Army quickly followed their army commander to the northwest.

"Damn it! Tukhachevsky is too much! This is clearly a matter of letting our army take the blame!" Hevsin, a political commissar of the Fourth Army who has always been good-tempered, just returned from his order, but saw that Tukhachevsky and Ma Xin had already run away, and couldn't help but curse!
Chapter completed!
