When Smirga's telegram for help appeared in the hands of General Budyonny, the genius cavalry general immediately felt a hint of danger. So he reported to Tukhachevsky, who was far away in Minsk, and prepared for the rescue at the same time.

As a general who used cavalry superbly, Budyonny certainly would not send troops to reinforce the Demblin-Palchev line like this. His troops were cavalry, and if they were to be used as infantry, how could this be. Budyonny had his own plan, that is, to bypass the enemy's battle line, disrupt the enemy's supply lines in the rear, and attack the opponent's towns and communication points in many places, forcing the opponent to go out of the defense to relieve the pressure on the Soviet and Russian troops on the front line.

It is responsible to say that Budyonny's plan is worthy of his name as a genius cavalry general. And his ability to use cavalry in this way has a lot to do with the fact that he has been serving in the cavalry unit for many years.

Born into a poor peasant family in the village of Kojulin in the Rostov region, Budyonny was drafted into the cavalry of young people in 1903. He then fought in the Russo-Japanese War of 1905 and was sent to study at the Petersburg Cavalry School after the war. It was at the Cavalry School that Budyonny acquired a systematic knowledge of the use of cavalry, which laid the foundation for his future successes. After graduating from the cavalry school, he returned to the dragoon regiment.

After the outbreak of World War I, he fought in Poland, Germany, Austria and the Caucasus. After the Russian Revolution, Budyonny was elected deputy chairman of the divisional soldiers' council. While stationed in Minsk, he became acquainted with Frunze, who had a significant influence on the formation of Budyonny's worldview and the choice of his life path.

Finally, after the outbreak of the August Revolution led by Lenin, Budyonny returned to his homeland. After the outbreak of the Civil War, he formed a cavalry guerrilla unit in his hometown, which was later expanded to a cavalry brigade.

In the Battle of Tsaritsyn, Budyonny commanded a cavalry brigade to defeat the enemy, showing the ability of an outstanding cavalry commander, and was appreciated by Stalin, the supreme leader of the Communist Party in the Tsaritsyn region, and was awarded the Order of the Red Banner. The unit was also expanded into the 1st Cavalry Army, and he served as the commander of the army, and the political commissar of the army Voroshilov, the artillery chief Kulik, and at the same time he also had the division commanders Timoshenko, Rokossovsky, and the regiment commander Zhukov, etc., the future famous commanders.

He then commanded the 1st Cavalry Corps in the Civil War, and at the same time the troops were expanded to the 1st Cavalry Army, and he also became one of the famous generals during the Civil War.

So as soon as Budyonny made his deployment, he led his cavalry soldiers of the First Army and advanced towards Fivodava. Here it was 20 kilometers away from the 14 Army at Palchev, which was enough for him to bypass the enemy. And it's only 30 kilometers from Lublin, which forms a triangle between the two places. Whether it's his gesture of attacking Lublin or attacking the supply lines, it's the perfect location.

As soon as Budyonny was ready, he ordered his troops to march towards Fivodava.

It is completely impossible to hide people, especially cavalry marches, from a large-scale army march. Don't think that the cavalry march is to get on the horse and go, ammunition, rations, fodder and other items need to be transferred. In particular, the rations of horses are indispensable, you must know that horses need to eat food such as oats, soybeans, salt, etc. in wartime, and they must not miss a meal, otherwise you will look good on the battlefield every minute.

Horses are also very delicate animals, and not being hungry is not to make them sick. Don't look at the cavalry as glamorous, in fact, you need to promote the relationship with your partner every day, help it wash its body, brush its horse hair and other tedious things.

So when Budyonny moved towards Fivodava, he was immediately discovered by the Polish side, knowing that this was Polish territory.

Admiral Fereitt then summoned Lieutenant General Willeschi and Major General Hoffmann, who pointed to the map and asked them.

"Now the enemy's cavalry army is moving towards the rear of my flank, do you know your mission?"

"Yes." "Clear."

Admiral Fereit waved his hand and said, "Now that you know, let's do it." ”

Then he sent the two to prepare.

And out of the command headquarters, of course, the two will not leave like this, they also need to discuss the coordination of the troops' march and coordination.

"Major General Hoffman, why don't you sit down with me."

"Then bother."

Faced with the invitation of the veteran Lieutenant General Weideszi, Major General Hoffmann certainly would not refuse. When Hoffman was still a major, Vydeszi was already a major general. To put it bluntly, when Hoffman was still wearing open crotch pants, Vydeschi had already joined the army. Videschi was not much younger than Prþshan, and respect for seniors was quite common in the army.

Returning to Lieutenant General Vydeszi's temporary residence, the old lieutenant general immediately spoke: "What do you think about this battle? ”

"I wonder what His Excellency Lieutenant General thinks?"

Faced with Lieutenant General Vodeszi's questioning, Hoffman needed to hear his opinion first.

Hearing Hoffman's words, Lieutenant General Willeschi immediately spoke. "That's what I thought......"

In the narration of the old lieutenant general, Hoffman finally learned about his plan. The cavalry division was the lead and bait to lure the opposing cavalry army to attack, and then the armored brigade joined the battlefield as a decisive force to crush the enemy.

True, in Videszi's opinion, it was not enough for the enemy's cavalry army to drive it away. It would be very uncomfortable for tens of thousands of cavalry to hang behind them all the time, which would not only affect the battle so far, but also threaten their next plan to take Brest. Therefore, it is best to defeat it so that it no longer threatens the rear supply lines. You must know that the Romanian army is currently very dependent on supply lines, and many weapons and equipment in the army cannot leave the supply.

After Lieutenant General Vodeszi's remarks, Hoffmann asked the key question. "Your Excellency, how to lure the other party into taking the bait."

In response to Hoffmann's inquiry, Lieutenant General Videschi immediately gave an answer.

"I'm going to move here and see if I can lure the other side in."

Hoffman followed the hand of Lieutenant General and saw that a hill marked Ovitz on a table on the map was his chosen target. The hill is 16 km from Palchev and 27 km from Lublin, which happens to be in front of Fedodava. It's just that the two don't know that the opponent's target is Fivodava.

"What if the other side doesn't attack it?"

Lieutenant General Vydeschi shrugged his shoulders and replied, "Then I can only continue to respond according to the other party's marching line." Anyway, their target must be our supply line, and they won't be too far from that. And it depends on how well the admiral fights them. ”

Faced with the old lieutenant general's answer, Hoffman did not know how to answer. In fact, Lieutenant General Vydeszi was the right thing to do, because cavalry is not the same as infantry, and rapid mobility is the core of cavalry. And at the moment the Romanian cavalry is at a disadvantage, the chances of taking the initiative to attack are too small, and if you bring an armored brigade, the opponent is not a fool and will not fight with them, after all, tanks are not a strange thing to Soviet Russia.

The complete kraft candy style of play made Lieutenant General Videszi have only this choice.

The two finally discussed the distance between the armored brigade and the cavalry division, as well as the shelter of the battlefield. Strive to ensure that the opponent cannot be found behind the cavalry division, and there is also the big killer weapon of the tank.

When everything was settled, Lieutenant General Videschi set out with the cavalry division, while Hoffmann followed him slowly. They waited for the Russian cavalry to resist the temptation and swallow this poisonous bait.
