The Third Division of the Ural Cavalry of Nezhkov's coalition was a Cossack cavalry with a strong colour, with the division commander of Arasti Mikhanovic Nezhkov. The chief of staff of the division and the commander of the 6th Brigade was Nezhkov's cousin Poshka Ivanovich **vsky.

The commander of the Fifth Brigade was Nezhkov's cousin Dominic Mikhainov Nezhkov, two cavalry commanders under Nezhkov, and two brothers, the eldest brother Alexei Hashikovic Antonikov was the commander of the First Regiment of the Fifth Cavalry Brigade, and the younger brother Alexei Hashikovic Antonikov was the commander of the Second Regiment.

This was a young era and a time when many heroes emerged. Antonikov was only 24 years old, as old as his brigade commander. This guy led the 10th Regiment of the Fifth Cavalry Brigade from Sorochinsk to reinforce the town of Buzuluk. In the morning, he ran nearly 90 kilometers, and his men were exhausted and tired.

After Liuzhaqi and the regiment guard company, he was under the command of the division headquarters in the east of Buzuluk Town, he followed the division commander's order, and the regiment commander Antonikov led his cavalry regiment to chase southward. He chased for thirty kilometers in one breath, and actually caught the back of the butt of the cavalry brigade led by Xia Jianke, who was photographed by the Soviet Red Army.

Young Antonikov was more aggressive and anxious than his compatriot brother Big Antonikov. This guy asked the vanguard battalion to follow the opponent's defender troops and lead the main force of the cavalry regiment to take a small road from the east. Since the road from Sorochinsk to Buzuluk was better than the west, the mount could run more.

Finally, the coalition cavalry regiment led by Antonikov, a battle with the Gorodovikov's cavalry brigade led by Xia Jianko, the political commissar of the Soviet Red Army Cavalry Division, and the Mars collided with the Earth.

Although Xia Jianke was the political commissar, he handed over the combat command of the Second Brigade directly to the brigade commander Gorodovikov, and the Second Cavalry Brigade composed of the Kalmyk Cavalry Regiment as the team. Of course, the creator of this heroic unit was led by himself.

Since Antonikov, the pursuers of the coalition, led the main force of the regiment to the east to fight and detour, Gorodov thought at first that the other side was a cavalry battalion of harassing troops, so this guy asked the First Regiment of the Second Brigade (Kalmyk Regiment) to quietly go down to the bank of the Buzuluk River and flew northwards, and he and the political commissar of the division, Xia Jianke, led the Second Regiment to retreat south.

Like Budonni's who had wanted to use a knife-torn plan to return the horses and rifles west of the Domahika River, Gorodovikov planned to lure the enemy into the depths and then turn around and eat the opponent's cavalry battalion in one bite, boost morale, and seize the coalition's machine guns and mortars to enrich his troops' firepower and weapons.

Whether it is the Browning squad machine gun, the Browning air-cooled heavy machine gun, the M1 Galand semi-automatic cavalry rifle, or the platoon battalion mortar, they are all the best among infantry light weapons in this era. In terms of the weapons and equipment of the coalition cavalry, they are much better and more advanced than the Soviet Red Army cavalry with only Mosinnagan cavalry rifle.

Gorodovikov led the Second Regiment to retreat southward and arranged an ambush circle in advance, allowing the commander of the Second Regiment Prokofy Logvinovich Romanenko to lead the defender battalion to lead the cavalry battalion of the coalition forces behind him into his encirclement. The first regiment, which was circling along the river under the towering river bank, became his secret weapon to block the enemy's follow-up troops, if the coalition forces came more than just one cavalry battalion.

Budonnie dreamed of fighting with the coalition forces in field battles in order to avoid the huge firepower advantage of the coalition forces in positional warfare. In this regard, the division commander led the First Brigade and did not find any opportunity in the west of the Domashika River. Political Commissar Xia Jianke led the Second Brigade, but he caught the opportunity in the east of the Buzuluke River.

Since the main force of the coalition army led by Antonikov Xiao was a bit far away, when the battle started, more than 500 people of the main battalion of the 10th Regiment of the Fifth Brigade of the 3rd Cavalry Division faced a cavalry of more than 2,200 people from the Soviet Red Army who were rushing from all directions. In an ambush, the coalition cavalry battalion did not come to retreat to the appropriate terrain and defended it with danger. The two sides quickly merged together and killed them into a group.

What's even worse was that the battalion commander of the coalition cavalry battalion who crashed into the opponent's ambush circle and the battalion guards were walking in the front of the team. They were shot to the ground by the opponent's ambush on the woods and densely shot by the opponent's position. They became the first battalion commander of the Nezhkov's Third Division. The cavalry battalion that lost its command failed to seize the opportunity to retreat to favorable terrain to launch defense.

Four cavalry companies of the coalition were shouted by the cavalry of the four battalions of the opponent. Ula swung his sabre and broke through the formation. Before the Browning heavy machine gun on the horse was even moved down to mount it and shoot, they were rushed over by the opponent's cavalry. With one encounter, the three cavalry companies were already broken into pieces by Gorodov's cavalry regiment. Although the firepower of the Browning squad and the three M1 Galand semi-automatic cavalry rifles of each squad still caused major casualties to Gorodov's cavalry regiment.

However, in the melee, the coalition cavalry battalion, which had less than a quarter of the opponent's troops, had no time to launch heavy machine guns and mortar positions. In the field battle, only the fourth company, which was considered a system of Sayazi, retreated. The remaining three companies were submerged by the Soviet Red Army cavalry. After a short and fierce battle, more than 200 coalition cavalry were killed and more than 100 cavalry were captured, half of which were wounded. Only one company of cavalry broke through the siege and ran eastward.

The price of Gorodovikov's victory was also quite heavy. The Browning Ban of the coalition forces used machine guns and m1 Galand semi-automatic riding rifles to cause major casualties to his second regiment. Nearly 300 Soviet Red Army cavalry were killed in battle, more than 500 were injured, and the second regiment lost one-third of its troops.

The major casualties of the Red Army cavalry mainly came from the charge of the opponent's machine gun fire. If all the four Browning air-cooled heavy machine guns of the cavalry battalion of the coalition forces were launched to shoot, the battle would not be won. How many Red Army cavalry rushed up and tore the opponent's hot machine guns to pieces, but in fact the coalition forces only had the fourth company to pull at the end, and they had only time to launch a heavy machine gun to shoot.

The machine gunners of the Browning Ban who were equipped with each platoon of the coalition cavalry were almost all cut down by the brave and fearless Soviet Red Army cavalry who rushed up to swing their sabers after firing 20 rounds of bullets in the magazine.

The battle was short and tragic, and the casualties on both sides were so great, but the Soviet Red Army cavalry finally won a victory. Perhaps it was because the Soviet Red Army had been frustrated and beaten and defeated after stepping onto the right bank of the Volga River. Perhaps it was because the short and tragic battle just now caused heavy casualties to Gorodovikov's Second Regiment, or perhaps it was because the Red Cossack cavalry often did this when they were in Chalizin.

After the siege during the battle, more than 100 coalition cavalry prisoners were captured. The white Cossacks were shot and shot by the red Cossacks under Gorodovikov after a brief interrogation! Grodovikov and his subordinates might have been out of control for a moment or needed to vent their emotions.

Or because of the gunshots coming from the east, it was obvious that the main force of the opponent's cavalry regiment had already come to the scene. In short, more than 100 prisoners of the coalition cavalry battalions were shot in front of the position, which actually declared the fate of the future of the Gorodovikov's army. Of course, the Red Cossacks did not understand what kind of team the opposite coalition was.

In their opinion, due to the ever-changing situation on the battlefield, it is often impossible to continue fighting with the prisoners. At this time, whether it is the Soviet Red Army or the Bai Guards opposite, shooting the other side's prisoners is too ordinary but the easiest choice.

As the political commissar of the division, Xia Jianke would never stand up to oppose the division political department under his leadership. The Cossacks of this era, whether red or white, have always treated the enemy cruelly. In Wang Geng's previous life, the red Cossacks of the Budunny Cavalry Army were never ruthless when they killed the enemy. No matter whether they were captives or not, the father and son and brothers stood in different camps, but the mainstream was the ones who turned against each other and turned against each other and became enemies to the death!

For political commissar Xia Jianke and commander of the Second Brigade Gorodovikov, although annihilation of three cavalry companies of the coalition was not a big result, and the casualties were not twice that of others, but he finally won a victory through field battles and the capture was quite eye-catching.

In addition to weapons and equipment damaged during the battle or destroyed by the coalition cavalry themselves, the Soviet Red Army seized the coalition's standard weapons from the battlefield for the first time. Among them, six intact Browning squad machine guns, an air-cooled Browning heavy machine gun, 12 60mm caliber platoons, and nearly 30 intact M1 Galand semi-automatic riding rifles.

Unfortunately, the 8 battalions of the cavalry battalions of the coalition forces were equipped with the mortars, following the Fourth Cavalry Company, and they had already run away.

Of course, due to the destruction of the coalition forces, the number of mortar shells and heavy machine gun bullets that the Soviet Red Army soldiers could collect from the battlefield was not too many, especially the mortar shells, which seemed to be more than 100. By the way, there were more than 50 coalition horses that were killed. Of course, the Soviet Red Army cavalry lost more than 400 war horses, which was not enough to supplement them.

The time left for Xiajianko and Gorodovikov to clean the battlefield and treat the wounded, the mortar shells from the main force of the cavalry regiment detoured to the south had already rushed over like raindrops.

The commander of the coalition cavalry, Antonikov, did not expect that his vanguard battalion had time to launch firepower or wait for his detour to be encircled, so he asked a cavalry regiment to make dumplings. The guy was so angry that he cursed the commander of the vanguard battalion, Sasha, who deserved it!

Even if you run back if you don’t die, you will be shot by yourself! The 5th Brigade of the Third Cavalry Division will be lost by the defeat of the Forward Battalion.

Xiao Miao Ka, the company commander of the fourth company of the Forward Battalion, was a clever company commander. This guy retreated immediately and brought out the battalion's mortar. He followed the way with two too fierce mounts who were beaten to death and fell down and then became terrified.

The first prisoner who was taken to Xiao Antonikov was arrogant and refused to speak. He was directly furious and was slashed into two pieces by Xiao Antonikov, who was furious. The second prisoner was splattered with blood from his comrades. When Xiao Antoni waved his sabre again, he sat down and finally spoke up and talked about the situation of the Soviet Red Army.

Now the enemy and us have all the combat intentions of the troops and equipment. Little Anthony was surprised to hear that the other side was detouring a cavalry brigade with more than 4,500 people. He originally thought that the opponent had only one cavalry regiment, but he didn't expect it to be a cavalry brigade led by Budunny's division political commissar, and an opponent was detouring from the north along the river bank to cover his own retreat!

The situation was a bit complicated, and the troops were not superior. Three companies were lost and asked the enemy to seize a lot of machine guns and mortars. But even so, Antonikov, the commander of the coalition cavalry, was not afraid of his face. The guy commanded the team to continue to go south and west, and made a circle to the south of the Soviet Red Army cavalry, allowing his left wing to lean against the Buzuluk River, and behind it was a hill and woods.
