    "This makes sense. Information from the Front Army Headquarters says that the Kolchak West Route Army has at least 10 artillery companies. If there are only 4 artillery companies on the artillery position north of the city, then the enemy's total strength outside the city will not be  There will be more than 2 divisions. If there are only 2 artillery companies firing, maybe the bluffing enemy outside the city really only has a mere 3rd Cossack Cavalry Division!"

    When Xia Boyang said this, the conference room fell into silence. Several division commanders and political commissars were wondering whether our 1st Army Group really called the enemy's bluff and fooled the enemy with a bluffing cavalry division. It would be a joke to tell the truth. 5 infantry divisions 42,000  They were told that a Cossack cavalry division was surrounding the city and they were too frightened to leave the city to fight. How could this look like the ace main army of the Soviet Eastern Front in the past?

    At this time, the enemy troops outside the city did not launch any further actions. In fact, no new Cossack cavalry troops were seen within five kilometers south of the city. The entire Saransk battlefield revealed a hint of silence and strangeness. Of course, the west and east sides of the city  The Cossack cavalry in the three directions of east and north of the city are still spreading this loose encirclement 5 kilometers away. Since many cottages and houses have been set alight in the countryside around Saransk, the smoky sight everywhere cannot see further.  .

    "No matter how strong the enemy is, we cannot act rashly before dark. When the cavalry launches an attack on the plains, one infantry division may not be able to stop the opponent's cavalry brigade, not to mention our mobility is not good. I think it will be reported to the front army headquarters as soon as possible.  Ask Moscow to come forward and let the Volga Federation help dispatch reconnaissance planes to conduct aerial reconnaissance to find out the enemy situation around Saransk. In addition, haven¡¯t the scouts from the 1st Division returned yet? "Tukhachevsky obviously has a countermeasure?  , turned around and asked Xia Boyang.

    "You haven't come back yet. Do you want to send a few more groups of people to mix with the people and go out to find out the situation? If we can find other Cossack cavalry units, we can almost find out the situation by touching a few tongues!" Xia Boyang geared up.  The way.

    "Well, open the city gate, let a group of ordinary people escape, and get a few smarter plainclothes scouts out. If it's convenient, we can inquire about the whereabouts of Gurney Goli. Whether he was captured or killed, we have to be accurate.  Letter, otherwise I won¡¯t be able to explain to the Melekhov family!¡± Tukhachevsky said while thinking.

    "Well, Mikhail Nikolayevich, I think we can take a two-pronged approach. On the one hand, we can send a report to the front army headquarters to inform the situation and war situation in Saransk, and ask Moscow to obtain the latest Gore information through the Volga Federation.  information on the deployment and location of Chak's main force. On the other hand, we let the people escape from the city, and the scouts mixed in and went out to investigate the situation.

    Third, do you think we should simply send a messenger to the Cossack White Guards to issue a declaration of war, and at the same time negotiate for a prisoner exchange?  Didn't we capture 12 Cossacks? We can at least exchange them for 12 captured cavalry battalion scouts, right?  "

    The idea proposed by Furmanov, commander of the 2nd Infantry Division, is groundbreaking. If we really want to do this, someone will really have to go to the Cossack position with a white flag. It is hard to say whether the messenger will escape death. It depends on the commander of the group army.  Does Tukhachevsky dare to arrange this?

    "Sending an envoy to the opponent's base camp to find out the truth? This is not a good idea. A bold, careful and determined Bolshevik must be responsible for this task. This is a glorious task. Well, this method is good, but unfortunately, we are against  The person in Kazan is unfamiliar, but at least Kolchak¡¯s face can be recognized, right? This guy has appeared in Kazan¡¯s propaganda posters and newspapers!¡± Tukhachevsky murmured.  .

    "Hey! Mikhail Nikolayevich, I object! I firmly object! The 1st Army has no right to contact Kolchak without authorization. The Kazan White Guards are our enemies. Without orders from the Front Army Headquarters,  How can we send an envoy to see Kolchak without authorization? This is a matter of principle. How can we make it clear in the future? As a member of the Revolutionary Military Committee of the 1st Army, I firmly disagree with you making such a reckless move!  "

    Kobozev, the political commissar of the group army, did not take Furmanov's idea seriously at first. In the blink of an eye, he saw that Tukhachevsky was a little eager to try after hearing it. Comrade political commissar was suddenly shocked, "Nima, what the hell?"  The superiors sent envoys to meet the enemy leaders without authorization. What they knew was that we were going to find out the enemy's truth. Those who didn't know may have thought that Tukhachevsky was preparing to take the 1st Army to seek a future under Kolchak.  How is this possible?  !  This is absolutely not okay!  When the time comes, will I, the political commissar of the group army, have to go around without food?

    If it weren't for Kobozev's panicked objections, the young division commanders and political commissars here wouldn't think there was anything wrong with Furmanov's idea at all, and would send a reliable Bolshevik to the Cossack cavalry headquarters to act as an envoy.  The exchange of prisoners is just a nominal excuse. In fact, aren't we trying to find out the other party's truth?  At least, toIf Kolchak is not in the army, then the opponent is definitely not the main force of the Western Cluster of the White Guards. If they are not protected, it is just a cavalry division acting as a leader to fool people!

    If Kolchak can be seen, it goes without saying that the main forces of the five Cossack cavalry divisions must have arrived in Saransk. How long can they endure and how long can they hold off by concentrating on defending the city?  , 42,000 new soldiers were defeated and were about to challenge the opponent's 60,000 elite Cossack cavalry. Even Comrade Voroshilov couldn't do it, and even Trotsky himself took command!

    Now being yelled at by the political commissar of the group army, several division political commissars felt a little bit inappropriate. The three young division commanders had not yet come to their senses at this time, but Xia Boyang and Furmanov were obviously angry.  He glanced at the army political commissar Kobozev, and felt a little unable to refute.

    "There is nothing to worry about. Moscow can shake hands with Ludendorff and sign the Brest-Litovsk Peace Treaty. Moscow can shake hands with the Volga Federation and hand over Tsaritsyn. I just sent an envoy to the Cossacks."  If you find out the truth over there, will the sky fall? I said, Comrade Political Commissar, Peter Alexievich, if you are always so surprised, I will have to send a telegram to the front army headquarters and ask for the removal of the army group.  Political commissar!"

    Although Tukhachevsky¡¯s tone was frivolous and disdainful, his eyes were quite cold, with a hint of chill as he stared at the political commissar in front of him.
