    "But what about the Urals? What if the Ural enemies attack in the direction of Samara and Syzran and cut off the retreat of the Southern Group? We don't even know who the Ural enemies are and how many troops they have! How can we rashly  Abandon it?" Trotsky said without giving in.  (_-< Registered members of Piaotian Literature recommend this work >-)

    "The Urals can be left to the Southern Front to solve. The Southern Front severely damaged the Krasnov and Denikin gangs in the North Caucasus during the last Tsaritsyn Battle. You can ask Joseph to send the Eighth Army from the Southern Front to march northeast to recover the Urals!  Then turn northwest to Samara to protect the Volga River crossing. Besides, didn't Yegorov leave a division of the Ninth Army to station on the line between Sezlan and Samara? "Ulyanov obviously has a good memory!  very good.

    "Slavin also left a division to garrison in Techuhi. I don't think there is any need to discuss the retreat of the Southern Group. After they join forces with the Fifth and Ninth Group Armies, they will have more than 230,000 troops. Whether it is Gore  Chak's main force in Kazan is still the Ufa Allied Forces and the White Guards. It is simply a fantasy to eat these 230,000 people in one go! How long does it take to capture and kill 230,000 pigs? There is an old Chinese saying.  It's called Ten Sieges. Is it possible that the coalition forces have so many troops west of the Ural Mountains? "

    Stelvyov added on the side, this guy has obviously become a bit like an imperial envoy who comes to the front line to command the army.  .  .  In the preview, there was a hint of complacency and arrogance in the nervousness. In order to show that he could also become a military expert, this guy even used 230,000 pigs as an analogy to show that the situation in the Southern Cluster was far less terrible than Trotsky's!

    "How much food and ammunition do 230,000 troops need to meet the logistics needs? Villages and towns hundreds of kilometers away on the right bank of the Volga River are almost deserted. The Ufa White Guards are implementing a policy of fortifying the walls and clearing the country, which is to add the Ninth Army to transport  The food on the Ufa front is only enough to feed the 230,000 troops for two weeks! The number of artillery shells that can be transported is even more pitiful! Fighting is not just a matter of blood and sweat, the soldiers have to eat!  ! My comrade Stelvyov!¡±

    Trotsky yelled at his deputy a little rudely. Although everyone in the Central Committee knew that Sdervyov was Comrade Ulyanov¡¯s most loyal and closest comrade-in-arms, Trotsky couldn¡¯t help but yell at his deputy.  Tsiki is really a little angry!

    "You can ask Comrade Joseph to think of another way from the direction of Tsaritsyn. There is really no extra food near Moscow at the moment! The food collected with great difficulty last time has been supplied to the Southern Cluster!"

    Kamenev grinned and said that he was a little disappointed that Stelvyov had usurped the position of Minister of Imperial Envoy. However, he also realized from Trotsky¡¯s words that he was going to Ufa to command 23 at the front.  Wan Dajun's job is not that easy and comfortable, it may just be wading in muddy water, and he will not pull him down if he is not allowed to go!

    "Kamenev, Zinoviev, for logistics, we have to rely on your food collection team. Dzerzhinsky's Cheka will cooperate with you. I don't care what you think of. Within half a month, we must  At least enough food to feed 230,000 people for a month has been prepared for Sdervyov's troops on the front line. The workers in the arsenal in Nizhny Novgorod have to work overtime to produce bullets and artillery shells to meet the needs of the front line. This is the relationship.  A matter of life and death for the Bolshevik regime!¡±

    Ulyanov ignored the dispute between Trotsky and Stelvyov, and turned to Kamenev and Zinoviev. Dzerzhinsky on one side had to continue to let Che  The cards come into play!

    "Comrade Ulyanov, I have no objection to Sdervyov going to the front line to personally command the Southern Cluster, but I think we must create a more reliable environment and conditions for the Southern Cluster. Victory does not only rely on our courage and courage.  , it also requires the completion of logistics and the collection of intelligence!

    If everyone decides that the Southern Cluster will continue to attack in the direction of Ufa, then I suggest that the Tenth Army of the Southern Front be moved north to the Sezlan and Samara lines to protect the rear of the Southern Cluster. There is no need to rush to recapture Ural for the time being. As long as we are in Ukraine  Once the French are defeated, the enemies of Ural will be defeated in the future!  What we have to do now is everything for the Eastern Front!  "Trotsky gritted his teeth and made his choice.

    "Ha, that's right, my Comrade Trotsky! Confidence and courage are our two most precious weapons. I agree with you. Our slogan is Everything for the Eastern Front, the Southern Group on the Ufa River Volga  Hejian must win a victory worthy of the title of the main front army! If the coalition forces coming with one division and 50 planes today can scare away our main force of 100,000 and 200,000, then tomorrow the coalition forces will come with ten divisions and 500 planes.  Are we going to surrender without a fight? If we show a little cowardice today, no one will stand up to defend the Soviets tomorrow.??¡±

    Ulyanov obviously expressed his sincere appreciation for Trotsky's thinking. At this time, he had no intention of splitting with the founder of his Red Army. Of course, he expressed his sincere appreciation for the liberalism that emerged from time to time among the comrades in the Central Committee.  And the weakness of the petty bourgeoisie needs to be fought and beaten a few times when it is time to attack and fight.

    "In addition, can the Central Committee consider whether we can obtain anti-aircraft weapons or even combat aircraft from Germany? The skies over Russia do not belong to our Soviet Red Army at all now. Or, we can urgently purchase a batch of aircraft from Germany and let them give them to us.  Train some pilots? Without air cover, the ground troops suffered heavy casualties from bombing and strafing by enemy planes, and the impact on morale was also huge!"

    Trotsky saw that his compromise had gained Ulyanov's approval, and in the blink of an eye he began to make suggestions again for the Red Army he had created!

    "This is a good idea, but the German air force is much smaller than the Allied air force. The aircraft they produce cannot keep up with the battle damage and consumption. I think this is difficult to handle. We can get some anti-aircraft weapons from them. Finally,  Why don't you give us some of the anti-aircraft guns captured by the Russian army in the past few years?" Ulyanov scratched his head. At this moment, he was enjoying being a leader, especially when Trotsky bowed his head and gave in.  at this moment.

    "In my opinion, food can be bought from Ukraine and Belarus. Since we have acquiesced to each other's aggression, then they should reciprocate the favor. On the one hand, they can buy part of the anti-aircraft weapons from the Allies, and on the other hand, they can let Nizhny Novgorod  Rhodes' arsenal modified the Maxim heavy machine gun. It is said that as long as the gun mount for anti-aircraft fire is replaced, it can become an anti-aircraft machine gun. Of course, it can only attack aircraft at an altitude of 2,500 meters, but the height of enemy bombing and strafing is definitely not that high.  , it should work!¡±

    Kamenev was coming up with ideas on the side, and Sdervyov smiled after hearing this. He knew that Kamenev was also going to the front line to command a front army. At this moment, he had taken the lead. Kamenev could still  Sdervyov was grateful for the help.

    "So, is it settled? Comrade Trotsky, in the name of the Supreme Revolutionary Military Council, issues the following order to the front:

    1. Due to ineffective command of frontline operations, Tukhachevsky was dismissed from his post as commander of the Southern Cluster of the Eastern Front.

    2. Sdervyov, member of the Central Committee and military commissar of the Supreme Revolutionary Military Council, shall be the commander of the Southern Group of the Eastern Front, and shall uniformly command all the Red Army troops on the right bank of the Volga River. Before Sdervyov takes office, the commander of the Second Army shall  Ma Xin acts as commander of the Southern Cluster!

    3. Order the South Cluster to return to Ufa with decisive action after joining the Fifth and Ninth Group Armies, open the enemy encirclement, rescue 30,000 people from the Rzhevsky Cluster, and then decide on the next direction of operations.

    4. Order the Southern Front, under the leadership of Kamenev, Zinoviev and Dzerzhinsky, to collect as soon as possible a month's worth of food for 230,000 people, and send the Tenth Army to escort the food no later than ten  It will be delivered to Sezran and Samara within a day.

    5. Order the Southern Front to deploy powerful troops to eliminate the enemies who are fleeing and occupying the Urals!

    Our slogan: All for the Eastern Front!  "

    Under the leadership of Ulyanov, Moscow is making a desperate move and is preparing to inflict heavy defeats on the coalition forces and the White Guards on the Ufa battlefield to defend the glory of the Soviet Red Army and defend Soviet deprivation!
