Today, the small town of Fevodava is bustling with people, and the local Polish residents are hiding in their houses to watch the influx of uninvited guests. At this time, a large group of cavalry escorted several people into the town that had long been controlled, and the Polish residents found through the crack in the door that among these people was a middle-aged cavalryman in his thirties and forties.

"This is the town of Fevodava, no different from other Polish towns."

Budyonny, who was riding on a horse, looked at the layout of the town and secretly commented to himself.

It was here that a herald ran up to him and reported, "Commander, the headquarters has been set up. ”

Boredom, Budyonny replied, "Okay, let's go." ”

So a large group of cavalry, led by the heralds, immediately rushed to the new headquarters. The headquarters was built in a villa on the edge of the town, and it was the most luxurious house in the town. It was also inhabited by the richest man in town, but the family had been evicted from the villa for now.

As soon as Budyonny arrived at the headquarters, he saw that everyone was busy moving the items needed by the headquarters into it, and outside the villa, you could see the luxurious furniture and other items of the original owner being discarded in a corner.

Budyonny walked into the villa and found Commissar Voroshilov directing the men to place the items. When he saw Budyonny walk in, he greeted him warmly.

"Comrade Budyonny, you are here."

Budyonny nodded and responded to Voroshilov: "Yes, Comrade Commissar, I'm here, what's the current situation?" ”

"It's not bad, it's a spacious place for a headquarters."

After hearing Voroshilov's answer, Budyonny smiled and said, "It seems that you can have a good rest today." ”

"That's right, after two days of travel, I really need to let the troops rest."

It should be mentioned here that both Budyonny and Voroshilov belong to the military opposition, and their leader is Comrade Stalin, who has been transferred back to Moscow. Trotsky and Tukhachevsky formed a military faction, and the current opposition in the Soviet Russian army is in a state of suppression, which also leaves hidden dangers for the future.

While the two were talking, a herald hurried in.

When the two saw the herald running in, they felt that something must be going on, and Voroshilov, who was in a hurry, immediately asked:

"What's the matter?"

"Report to the commander and commissar, we found a brigade of Romanian cavalry 13 kilometers away."

Hearing the herald's report, a sentence flashed in the two of their minds, coming so quickly. They were mentally prepared for the arrival of the Romanian army, but they did not expect it to come so quickly.

And at this time they remembered the previous warning to them from Comrade Stalin. "The Romanian army cannot be regarded as the White Guards of the civil war, otherwise it will suffer a big loss. Rather, it should be treated as if it were a German army. ”

They had not yet understood Stalin's warnings, but now they could see from their reactions and actions that their opponents were unusual.

As for the anxious Voroshilov, he immediately asked: "How many people did they come?" ”

"There are about 13,000 or 4,000 cavalry troops, and we don't know if there are still troops behind. The main thing is that they did a good job of covering up, and we couldn't get around it. ”

And then Budyonny suddenly spoke: "It is necessary to find out what is behind the enemy's cavalry, and it must be found out at all costs." ”

Under Budyonny's orders, groups of Russian cavalry units were sent out, and they fought in the field with the Romanian cavalry covering both flanks.

"Rush, take down these Romanian bandits."

A Russian cavalry officer, commanding his men, rushed towards a group of Romanian cavalry that appeared.

"Give these Russians a little color."

And this group of Romanian cavalry was not ambiguous, and under the command of the officer who led the team, they also rushed towards the Soviet Russian cavalry.

So the cavalry units on both sides rushed towards the opponent, relying on the superiority in numbers and weapons on the other, and they all fearlessly killed the opponent.

"Kill......"

The troops of the two sides that collided together immediately showed a scene of people turning on their backs.

The soldiers on both sides did not care about their comrades who were knocked off their horses, and they all brandished their sabers at their opponents. After a short but bloody encounter, the warriors and horses on the battlefield who fell in pools of blood told the cruelty of it.

Many soldiers were killed in the battle, and the two sides turned their horses to look at their opponents, and it was obvious that this battle must be a winner.

And battles like this continue to take place in the wilderness, which also makes Lieutenant General Videschi secretly distressed. However, in order to win the victory, the old general did not care about the casualties of his subordinates, and he continued to send troops again and again to intercept these Soviet Russian cavalry who tried to cross them.

However, there was always a time when manpower was poor, and the number of Soviet Russian cavalry was more than twice as large as his. There were still quite a few Russian cavalry who evaded the interception and probed behind the cavalry division.

Behind the cavalry division, in a clearing surrounded by an unknown wood, jackals were parked in camouflage.

In the woods, Major General Hoffman, like the other soldiers, dressed in a camouflaged military uniform, was holding a telescope to observe the Russian cavalry outside the woods.

"These are the third batch of Soviet Russian reconnaissance cavalry today, but we can't let them find us."

Colonel Antonescu, beside him, whispered to Hoffman.

"I hope so."

Hoffman looked at the cavalry outside and replied casually: "If they come in, they will trouble your cavalry troops in a while, and they must not be allowed to escape." ”

"Don't worry, I know what to do. Maybe they'll go to the 'warehouse' in a moment, wasn't that the previous two cavalry like that? ”

Faced with Hoffman's words, Antonescu replied nonchalantly. After saying that, he looked at Hoffman with envy, and the youngest major general was not envious.

At that time, Hoffmann consulted with Lieutenant General Vydeszi and felt that it was not safe to rely on cavalry alone to cover the battlefield. Therefore, let the old general send cavalry to protect himself, and in addition to this, he also set up several well-defended 'warehouses'. These 'warehouses' consisted only of a few weapons, ammunition and vehicles, but were heavily guarded by cavalry units.

And the cavalry regiment of Antonescu, who was his friend himself, was sent to carry out this mission, and now this friend is staying by his side with a dead face, under the pretext of protecting the armored brigade from detection.

And these measures are not wrong at all, since yesterday a large number of Russian cavalry broke through the interception of cavalry divisions. But fortunately, the armored brigade had already camouflaged it in advance, so they didn't find out.

However, several 'warehouses' have been discovered, and the Romanian cavalry guarding them has already dealt with these Russian cavalry. In the last night they heard a violent explosion, and it seemed that a 'warehouse' had been destroyed by the enemy.

The two watched as the group of Russian soldiers dismounted outside the woods, and looked at them as if they were going to go into the woods to investigate.

Seeing that these Russian cavalry had plans to enter the woods, Hoffman couldn't help but say, "Damn, they seem to be coming in." Antonescu tells your people to prepare, don't let them run. ”

Antonescu, who also saw this situation, also replied with a serious expression: "I'm going to prepare, I won't let them run away." ”

Just as the Russian soldiers dismounted and prepared to enter the woods with their weapons, a cavalryman in the distance ran towards them. The soldiers also spotted the cavalryman, only to see them stop their intention to enter the woods and watch the cavalryman run in front of them.

He pointed in a certain direction as he spoke to the men. And the Russian soldiers who listened to him immediately turned on their horses and followed him towards that place.

Although he couldn't hear what they were saying from a distance, Antonescu could guess the content with the direction of his movements. He smiled and said to Hoffman: "We are so lucky that another 'warehouse' has been discovered, what a good discovery." ”

After several more raids, the Russian cavalry was dwindling day by day. None of the 'warehouses' set up have been preserved, and they have all fallen under the frantic attack of these Russian cavalry. Antonescu and Hoffman listened to the thunderbolt several times.

When the Russian reconnaissance cavalry reported this information to Budyonny, Budyonny, who had mastered the situation, immediately laughed.

"It seems that the Romanian cavalry division on the opposite side is playing a strategy of setting up a suspicious formation and retreating while fighting."

"So what do we do?"

Voroshilov, who was militarily inferior to Budyonny, immediately asked.

Faced with the inquiry of his political commissar, Budyonny said with a smile: "Since I have already seen through it, then cripple them." And it can just relieve the pressure on Smirga. ”

Thinking of Smirga's urging telegram, Voroshilov nodded and replied: "It's good to let these Romanians know the strength of the Red Army, lest they get too carried away." ”

So under the command of the two men, the 1st Cavalry Army, except for one regiment left to guard Fevodava, the other troops immediately pressed towards Lieutenant General Videszi.

Faced with the pressure of the Russian cavalry, Lieutenant General Vydeschi immediately collected all the troops he had sent, and Ovitz, a hill two or three hundred meters higher than the surrounding area, became his headquarters.

And Budyonny did not give the old general much time to prepare, and made a decision in the morning. His troops arrived at noon. Looking at the dense cavalry wearing the future military cap named after Budyonny, Lieutenant General Videschi knew that the strategy had succeeded, and the next step was to hold out until the arrival of the Hoffmann armored brigade to be considered a victory.

Budyonny watched the cavalry division's defense from a distance, and because of the short time of arrival, a hastily dug trench less than half a man high appeared in front of him. Only a small number of fortifications, consisting of bags of earth, instead aroused his idea, since there were artillery pieces behind the fortifications. Looking at the still damp dirt turned out, Budyonny felt that the odds were a little better.

And when he observed, the artillery of the cavalry army had already been unloaded, and the artillerymen were fiddling with the artillery to prepare for a while of fire support. Even soldiers of low military prowess could see the haste of the fortifications prepared on the other side, which led to their morale even higher, and attacking such opponents was their favorite thing to do.

The preparation time was not long (the cavalry with light artillery was easier to deploy), and Budyonny waved his hand when he saw that it was about the same. Thus began the Battle of Ovitz.
