Volume 3 The Four Hundred and Ninety-Second Chapters of the Millennium Miracles The Iron Horse Chain
Just the night before yesterday, around 7 pm on May 3, Tukhachevsky had repeatedly violated the Eastern Front's military orders and dispatched troops to fight the Central ** team to a decisive battle, and crossed the level to ask Moscow for command, thus disrupting the Eastern Front's decisive battle plan formulated by the Eastern Front, which led to his impeachment by the Eastern Front Commander Kamenev and other commanders of the army, especially Fu Longzhi and others.
Tukhachevsky drew most of the troops of the 1st Army, causing huge defensive loopholes in the defense line along the Volga River, which led to Kamenev's careful preparation of Kazan counterattack failed. The Eastern Front had to draw soldiers to supplement the front of the 1st Army to prevent more White troops from taking advantage of the loopholes in the west bank of the Volga River caused by Tukhachevsky's rush to achieve success and enter the Soviet control volume 3, Thousands of Ageful Skills, Chapter 492, Iron Horse Chain Zone.
Kolchak even knew about this after some of his troops entered the Soviet-occupied area. However, the Soviet Red Army quickly wiped out the Tsarist Russian Belarus guerrillas crossing the river and mobilized militias and Volga fleets to participate in the defense, which made Kolchak not able to seize the opportunity.
Eastern Front Commander Kamenev and many officers made a request to the Supreme Soviet Military Commission to replace the commander of the 1st Army, because Tukhachevsky led to strategic failure and repeated violations of military regulations.
On the night of May 2, a fierce quarrel occurred in the Supreme Military Commission of the Soviet Union. Whether it was a reward or a punishment was divided into two factions. The faction led by Lenin advocated rewarding the officer who boldly used troops, but Trotsky, the highest leader of the Supreme Military Commission of the All Russia, advocated limited punishment, while Stalin and others advocated the removal of all positions in Tukhachevsky. In the end, with Lenin's strong support, Trotsky ordered him to be transferred to other army groups and the position of commander of the 1st army, but it also showed that he was not completely abandoned.
Tukhachevsky's position as commander of the 1st Army was temporarily appointed by Chief of Staff Gay, but in fact, the Supreme Soviet Military Commission has appointed Zinoviev as the political commissar of the Iron Horse Chain Army, Chapter 492 of the Iron Horse Chain Army, directly as the leader of the army. He also required the 1st Army to firmly implement the requirements of the Party to lead the army, and required all Party members to remain vigilant and maintain the purity of the army.
The former political commissar Chu Liuxin immediately escorted (escorted) Tukhachevsky on an inland fleet warship along the Volga River and was urgently transferred to the Kazan front line to serve as the commander of the 5th Army. This made Tukhachevsky, a militant, both disappointed and very excited. What was disappointed was that he could not continue to command this force to encircle and annihilate the Zhongxun team. What was excited was that he could finally know that he could directly command a unit to fight the enemy head-on, rather than touching these Chinese who were slipping and unstoppable. In the midst of the contradiction, he had no choice but to set off and before leaving, he would ask Gai to carry out the battle against the Zhongxun team as planned, and to let the brave Soviet soldiers eliminate these cowardly Chinese.
At this time, Zinoviev, who had just served as the political commissar of the 1st Army, was supervising the southern battlefield of Ukraine, supervising the southern army's encirclement and suppression of the Tsarist Denikin Legion. After receiving the order, Zinoviev thought that he had to use Chinese talents to deal with the Chinese team. So Zinoviev called Zhang Furong, the commander of the Soviet Red Army who participated in the encirclement and suppression of the Denikin Legion on the banks of the Don River. Zhang Furong was originally an officer of the Chinese European War Army. He had a blood relationship with Wang Maoru's troops, and perhaps could be used.
Moreover, Zinoviev also hopes that this China-** regiment that can fight well and compete with the Chinese Interfering Army. Whether the China-* regiment is powerful or the Chinese Interfering Army is powerful, he thought in his bad mind. Zhang Furong immediately agreed to fight with the Interfering Army and firmly supported the Bolshevik Soviet government. He will definitely complete the task assigned to him by the great Soviet government. If the interfering Army cannot be persuaded, he will destroy it by force. Zinoviev led 6,000 workers from the Central Committee of the United States regiment to withdraw from the battle to encircle and annihilate the Denikin Army and rushed to Saratov with him.
Zinoviev was also a legend in Soviet history. He was an old Bolshevik. As early as the Tsarist Russia period, he looked for a way to revive Russia with Lenin and others. At the same time, because of his old qualifications, he was one of the few people who dared to directly oppose Lenin at the meeting. It was precisely because of this that he was expelled from the Bolshevik Party twice, but returned to the party twice.
At nine o'clock on May 3, Zinoviev, who had just received the appointment letter, immediately ordered Gai to evacuate the troops from Maghn town as soon as possible and return to Saratov on the west bank of the Volga River, and not to get entangled with the Chinese team. The new order was to allow the Chinese team to attack Chalizin without any obstacles, and the 1st Army would break through from other places and counter-encircle the Chinese team. However, this order made Gai feel very embarrassed. He and Tukhachevsky formulated a plan to annihilate the Chinese team, but because of the struggle for power within the party
Their efforts were in vain if they did not stop the plan to withdraw back to the West Bank. What made him even more unacceptable was that the three-day attack caused more than 9,000 Red Army soldiers to be killed or injured. They rushed to the trench built by the barbed wire in vain, but fell one hundred meters in front of the enemy's trek. The members of the army's committee no longer trusted them, the former Russian officers who were formerly from Tsarist Russian officers. They believed that the reason for the failure of the combat was that these former Russian officers were ineffective in command and sent the workers and soldiers to the Chinese in vain to massacre.
The Soviet army's decisive charge only provided the Zhongxun team with tools to practice target shooting. Their cannons were not as high as the Zhongxun team, and the soldiers died in vain on the way to charge. In order to prevent maggots from ariseing in summer, the Chinese had to send the Imperial Army to clean the battlefield, collect the enemy's bodies again, and use a car to bury them. Of course, during this process, the Soviet soldiers did not harass them. They also knew that the enemy was burying their comrades and did not intend to anger the other party and let their comrades expose their bodies to the wilderness.
Former commander Tukhachevsky asked him to continue the attack, while political commissar Zinoviev asked him to withdraw his troops, which made Gayi in a dilemma, but finally decided to follow the political commissar's words to withdraw the troops. In order to cover up the truth about the withdrawal, he would order the soldiers to continue the attack and not let the enemy discover it.
On May 3, Gayi ordered some soldiers to evacuate back to the rear while the night was dark, and launched the 5th Moscow Workers Division to harass and attack the Central Team overnight to paralyze the Chinese. The recruits sent by Gayi to inform the cavalry team suddenly broke into the Chinese ambush in the middle of the night and were captured by the Turkic Cavalry Division affiliated to the Volga Army.
Perhaps it was because the Turkic cavalry hated the Russians tortured and killed all the Soviet Red Army cavalry who escorted the intelligence of a company. So not only did the Turkish cavalry of the Red Army not get this news, but also the Chinese team did not get it. That made Wang Maoru and all the Volga Army officers and staff members confused. Why did they deliberately die?
Tukhachevsky also returned to the rear on the night of May 3, and returned to Saratov, the west bank of the Volga River early the next morning, and then took a train north to arrive at the Kazan Front.
The China ** team changed defenses from 3:00 to 5:00 on May 4. The First Division and the 15th Division retreated to the fourth line of defense to rest. The Third Division and the 7th Division defended the first three lines of defense. In order to prevent the change of defense from causing chaos to be taken by the enemy, the China ** team focused on defense, so they did not notice the abnormalities of the Soviet army, which gave the Soviet army a lot of time to re-arrange the army.
Of course, the Soviet army did not know that the Chinese team had changed defenses. In order to cover the retreat, they held a meeting to attack from 8 a.m. on May 4th. Their crazy attack was just an illusion created by Gai to cover up the withdrawal of the 1st Army. However, the Chinese battlefield replacement almost caused the Chinese position to miss it, which was also an accident. Gai was also a ruthless attack. The attack and charge of the Soviet army in the last attack exceeded the total of the previous two days. The Chinese team suffered serious casualties one after another, and of course the Red Army suffered even more casualties.
That night, the Suzhong army had a very rare tacit understanding and did not launch a night attack on the other side.
Wang Maoru made a mistake. He thought he had mastered Tukhachevsky's character and admired this man's perseverance and believed that he would do all kinds of ways to fight him. Therefore, he ordered the soldiers to prepare for defense without sending troops to discover the enemy's evacuation.
At dawn on May 5, 2019, the main force of the 1st Army of the Soviet Red Army had actually withdrawn. The only one behind the front was the 49th Division of the Soviet Infantry Division with less than 10,000 troops.
The 49th Soviet Division was a light infantry division, which was not capable of cooperating with the cavalry's attack. Once they attacked, they would reveal their insufficient strength, so that the Chinese team knew about the retreat of the main force. The infantry suddenly disappeared, and the Soviet cavalry launched a decisive charge towards the Chinese team without knowing it. Everyone knows that once the cavalry charges and speed increases, it will be difficult for any enemy to resist in the war when armored vehicles and tanks have not yet appeared. At this time, the cavalry is the king of land warfare, and the only thing that blocks the cavalry can only be heavy machine guns and heavy artillery or use other cavalry to fight.
When the Soviet cavalry approached, Wang Maoru, commander of the Volga Army, looked at the enemies on the sand table excitedly. They finally entered the encirclement, slapped the table hard, and said: "The enemy is going to launch a general attack. We also launch a general attack, ordering the heavy artillery and airship troops to shell the cavalry. After two hours of artillery attack, we will eat their cavalry first and send signal flares to the Turkic cavalry division."
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!" The Chinese cannons were all activated again, and the enemy's cavalry troops were blown back and forth like a farmland. The cavalry was a highly attack-type defensive army. Before they attacked the enemy, they were living targets. After the cavalry charged, they went on unmoved. The Soviet commander had no chance to order the retreat order, because the messenger could not catch up with the vanguard troops. The attack of the heavy artillery of the Chinese made more than 9,000 cavalry of the Soviet army in a mess. Everyone attached themselves to their horses and shouted God's blessing, and continued to advance with their swords.
