Ruptura del frente por el Primer Ejército de Caballería, Mayo 1920

La llegada del Primer Ejército a Caballo de Budyonny a los alrededores de Uman en mayo de 1920 jugó el papel central en la derrota del ejército polaco en la Ucrania de la orilla derecha. Los ataques iniciales a finales de mayo de 1920 fueron repelidos con grandes pérdidas por ambos bandos. Después de un cambio de tácticas para bombardear las posiciones polacas con mças potencia de fuego, el Primer Ejército de Caballería, pudo finalmente romper las principales líneas de defensa el 5 de junio de 1920, precipitando la derrota del Tercer Ejército Polaco de Kiev. La caballería bolchevique, basada principalmente en regimientos cosacos, luchó casi enteramente a caballo y evitó la táctica de combate desmontado de los dragones. Llevaban uniformes cosacos tradicionales, aunque a muchos les gustaba el nuevo gorro bolchevique de tela gruesa (shlem sukonniy) que se llamó popularmente “Budionovka” en honor a Budionny debido a su asociación con el Primer Ejército a Caballo. Sus armas eran principalmente el sable y la pistola, aunque algunos usaban carabinas y otras armas.Una de las innovaciones tácticas durante las guerras civiles rusas fue el uso de la tachanka. Este era un carro ordinario de cuatro ruedas, tirado por caballos que llevaba una sola ametralladora Maxim. Durante los asaltos, las tachanka se colocaban delante para crear una base de potencia de fuego concentrada para apoyar los ataques a caballo. Durante las operaciones defensivas, podían servir en la retaguardia para desalentar la persecución del enemigo. El Primer Ejército a Caballo tenía agregados trenes blindados y auto-ametralladoras para apoyo de fuego. También había un destacamento de aviación, que sufrió grandes pérdidas en la fase inicial de la campaña de Kiev, por lo que desempeñó un papel mínimo en los combates posteriores.

Charging the drawbridge by Paul Emile Léon Perboyre

General Albert Sidney Johnston (Confederate) The most senior general on either side to be killed in

General Albert Sidney Johnston(Confederate)

The most senior general on either side to be killed in action during the war, Albert Sidney Johnston was one of the less hirsute military commanders. He had a long military career as a general in the Army of the Texas Republic as well as the US Army, and favoured just a moustache, albeit an immaculate one.

Johnston was put in charge of the huge western part of the Confederacy early in the war. He led his men into battle at Shiloh in April 1862 and was killed during a cavalry charge, apparently by friendly fire. His wound probably needn’t have been fatal, but he’d sent his personal doctor away to deal with injured Union prisoners, and the officers who went to his aid apparently had little idea of how to tie a tourniquet. One tried pouring brandy into his dying general’s mouth, unsurprisingly to little effect, and Johnston bled to death.
