The two sides have been crowded into a narrow area, both fighting on their own, which can basically only be described as a melee, and at this moment it is more important to pay attention to individual combat strength.

In the chaotic crowd, Yegorov didn't take a few steps with his people, but he was blocked by a group of headless and brainless White Russian troops, and without the slightest conversation, Yegorov's guards immediately slashed each other with each other.

Even Yegorov personally picked up the guy and jumped forward. As a cavalry general of Soviet Russia, needless to say, skilled equestrianism, big shoulders and round waist, plus strength enough, after the saber wheel in one hand, no one can really get close to him, a White Russian cavalry does not believe in evil, mustered up the courage to rush up, a shot was knocked off the saber, and then kicked off the horse.

Seeing that the commander of his family was brave and took the lead, with the backbone of Yegorov to join the war group, the other Soviet cavalry relied on him, constantly gathered over, joined the war group headed by Yegorov, protected Yegorov from both sides, and constantly attacked in the direction that Yegorov pointed to, and gradually gathered seven or eight hundred people. With the fresh force of these hundreds of people, Yegorov led people to break around, picking places where there were many Russian troops, fighting a round and leaving, never in love with war.

At this time, Yegorov was able to defeat the White Russian army, which was in its own position.

Seeing that the White Russian army was beaten with only the power to parry, Yegorov breathed a sigh of relief, and silently said in his heart, "Fortunately, there are these elite bodyguards that Stalin gave me, otherwise it would not be so easy to turn the tables today." ”

"What sound?" But almost at the same time, in the sky above the entire battlefield, there was a faint rumbling, rumbling sound. This sound, like the thunder of the nine heavens, gave Yegorov a very familiar feeling for the first time.

"Tick! Tick! "It was raining in the sky." Thundered! "A bolt of lightning swept through the sky.

It's not like, it's thunder! Then with the thunder came a downpour, Yegorov had a feeling of wanting to cry for a while, in the muddy water, the cavalry that lost its speed was not as good as the ordinary infantry, and there were so many White Russian infantry around him, how to fight this battle?

"Withdraw! Evacuate! Retreat to Ishim! Yegorov shouted as he looked at the sky with a trembling voice.

Ishim, lit up in the dark night, was like a lighthouse in the sea, pointing out the destination for countless Soviet troops.

As time passed, the Soviets got closer and closer to the city of Ishim.

The dark night and heavy rain brought inconvenience to the Soviet army at the same time, but also brought more difficulties to the continued pursuit of the White Russian army.

And with the help of the lights at the head of the city of Ishim, the Soviets found that outside the city of Ishim was a scene that most soldiers had never seen. Within hundreds of miles outside the city of Ishim, there are scattered some Soviet and White Russian stumps, and there are craters everywhere, all of which are traces of some mines and shells after explosions.

This area feels like a huge battlefield, and it has just experienced very heavy battles. This made the Soviet army, which had just left one battlefield, feel that it had entered another terrifying battlefield.

At this moment, it was already night, and the rain was pouring down, but there were still earth-shattering explosions and shocks in the city from time to time. Judging from this situation alone, it seems that the city of Ishim has fought several fierce battles with the White Russian army, temporarily and completely blocked the invasion of the White Russian army, and is cleaning up the remnants of the White Russian army in the city.

At the same time, within a relatively calm range of hundreds of meters outside the city of Ishim, there were at least hundreds of Soviet and Russian soldiers running non-stop.

Some of these hundreds of Soviet Russian troops were digging pits in the ground and planting mines, while others were digging deep pits and clearing usable trenches. Some of them kept carrying bundles of wood, and after pouring gasoline, they turned into piles of burning fires to prevent the White Russians outside the city from attacking in the dark on rainy nights.

One of them, who seemed to be the leader, was wearing a bandage on his head, but despite the pouring rain, he kept urging the soldiers to hurry up and build fortifications. These Soviet and Russian soldiers were busy with each other, and their faces all looked like they were facing a great enemy.

On the outer walls of the city of Ishim, there are at least 100 Soviet Russian soldiers running non-stop at this moment, and these Soviet Russian soldiers are working together under the command of a middle-aged lieutenant colonel with a beard and a thin middle-aged major.

I saw that with the efforts of the Soviet and Russian soldiers, outside the original ordinary earth and stone walls of Ishim, more than half a circle of sandbags had appeared, and some important parts were temporarily reinforced by stones.

The height of the city wall in this half circle is more than 20 meters, but it was originally only used to divide the inside and outside of the city, and in essence it was only some kind of work.

Among the hundreds of Soviet and Russian soldiers, many of them also had the intention of strengthening and calculating some in their hearts, and desperately seized the time to make the city wall stronger.

At this moment, the city of Ishim is densely packed, and all the Soviet and Russian soldiers have been mobilized, and the white Russian troops in the city have been driven to the east of the city, and only one city gate is still in their hands.

In addition, there were only a few scattered White Russian troops in the city, occupying residential houses and fighting desperately with the Soviet Russian army.

As early as the afternoon, the news of the arrival of their own main forces on the outskirts of the city was heard, and the Soviet Russian troops in the city had long been ready for battle. In addition to the weapons in almost all the warehouses in the city, some shops have piled up a lot of food and medicine for the Soviet and Russian soldiers to use for free.

In many parts of the city, many buildings such as dark forts have been built, and a large number of people have been placed to prepare for street fighting.

A middle-aged lieutenant colonel with a beard and a thin middle-aged major were standing in a high-rise building in the city of Ishim at the moment, and from time to time Soviet and Russian soldiers rushed to the side of the two, and then rushed to various places inside and outside the city, as if they were conveying some orders for the two.

Seeing the defeat of Yegorov's remnants in the distance, the bearded middle-aged lieutenant colonel and the thin middle-aged major looked calm on their faces, but their eyelids were beating from time to time, and there was a trace of panic in their eyes, which showed that they were also very nervous and uneasy in their hearts.

"Let's go, whether they win or lose, General Yegorov, who led the army this time, is our immediate boss, and we will definitely meet him!"

After the bearded middle-aged lieutenant colonel quickly said this to the thin middle-aged major, he immediately ordered the men in the army to prepare hot soup, and then personally greeted the troops outside the city.

After checking the number of troops, Egorov entered the city of Ishim smoothly. After arranging a group of subordinates to go to dinner, Yegorov began to take over the city that was now in tatters.

"How many of our troops are there in the city? What heavy weapons do you have? Yegorov asked, originally according to the estimation of Yegorov and others, Ishim City must be unable to defend now, and it is a happy thing to be able to hold half or a part of the city. Because judging from the number of the White Russian army, even if the city of Ishim has not fallen into a state of complete slaughter by the White Russian army at this moment, at least countless White Russian troops have poured into the city of Ishim, and the Soviet troops in the city should be unable to expel them, even if there are foreign Soviet troops entering the city, they should be fighting fiercely with the White Russian army in the city.

Therefore, the closer Yegorov is to the city of Ishim, the more the hearts of Yegorov and others sink, and the more they feel that relying on this city to recuperate, resist the White Russian army, and collect the rout of the Omsk defense line is becoming more and more unlikely.

But he didn't expect that when the city of Ishim really appeared in front of his eyes, the Soviet army in the city actually had the upper hand, and while clearing the White Russian army in the city, he also dispatched soldiers to start cleaning up the fortifications outside the city, preparing for the next step to resist the siege of the White Russian army.

And at this moment, Yegorov and many cavalrymen passed through the war group strangled by the White Russian army, and saw that there were hundreds of soldiers on the periphery of the city of Ishim constantly building various fortifications, as if the city of Ishim had long been accused of being in the hands of the Soviet Russian army, and had not just been taken back. However, a stable city also gave the Soviet Russian reinforcements who came all the way an extremely important opportunity to recuperate.

Soon the report of the losses of the first battle was reported, and the Soviet Russian army lost 1,574 killed, 9,554 wounded, 5,711 missing, and only 4,367 remained combat-ready.

It is estimated that the White Russian army will be killed more than 1,680 people and wounded more than 9,000 people, and the number of battle losses on both sides should be about the same, but considering that the White Russian army is more than twice as large as the Soviet Russian army, it can be said that the Soviet Russian army lost this battle.

But Yegorov did not lose the strength of the First World War, there were still 2 or 3,000 Soviet Russian troops in Ishim City, plus more than 4,000 people brought back from the battlefield, and a complete Soviet-Russian mixed division could be put together in Ishim City. What made Yegorov's confidence even more increased was that not far from the city of Ishim, there was also a team of more than 10,000 Soviet Russians trapped in the lower reaches of the Ishim River, as long as this team was brought over, the strength of the Soviet army could be greatly enhanced.

However, the Soviet-Belarusian armies invested 20,000 cavalry on both sides outside the city, and in what is claimed to be the largest cavalry battle since the Russian Civil War, the soldiers of the White Russian Far Eastern Army on horseback proved for the first time that they were as good as their Western opponents. This defeat was not a physical blow, but a psychological blow, and all along, the Soviet Russian army was high in the face of the White Russian army, even if it was beaten by the White Russian army all the way to the Urals. The top level of Soviet Russia in Europe also believes that this is because Ukraine in the west has contained most of the military strength of Soviet Russia, otherwise as long as an army with the title of "hero" is randomly dispatched, these "turtles" in the Far East can be beaten back to their original shape.

However, this battle made Yegorov and the elite of Soviet Russia from Moscow deeply realize that the combat effectiveness of the White Russian army can already pose a threat to the Soviet Russian army. Although there are reasons for the number of people here, but the war only considers comprehensive factors, no one will compare their shortcomings with the strengths of others, the White Russian army can quickly rampant through the West Siberian Plain, not relying on 500,000 troops!

If Soviet Russia also has an army of 500,000, it can also sweep through White Russia, so that White Russia does not even have a foothold in the Far East.

Therefore, the gathering of troops from all walks of life became Yegorov's top priority at the moment.

Unfortunately, the torrential rain lasted for two days until the evening of the next day. During these two days, Yegorov informed the ministries of everything he saw along the way, and did the work of the various ministries in the city. All the machines and equipment that could not be taken away in the city were destroyed, and the whole army took only food and ammunition, and after preparing to kill the siege troops of the White Russian army, they immediately retreated and fought a bloody road to the Ishim River. If it weren't for the heavy rain that had fallen for two days, Yegorov would have even wanted to order the city to be set on fire in order to delay the White Russian army.

Because now it seems that the White Russian army has such a strong combat power but does not attack Ishim, then there is only one purpose, the entire city of Ishim is a decoy, and it is Yegorov's army that is lured. And at this time the fish has already bitten the bait, so what will happen next, Yegorov naturally guessed.

(Sorry, I have been in the middle of Taihu Lake for the past few days, blowing a breeze and drenching in light rain, delayed)
