    July 21, 1918 15:30 Samara Allied Forces Headquarters

    Hearing that the strength of the Soviet Red Army on the Eastern Front is expected to exceed 300,000, the former White Guard generals of the coalition who were Russians cannot help but worry about the Kolchaks in Kazan, and those who have just defected to the Volga Federation  Slavin and Yegorov's expressions inevitably softened, and they secretly breathed a sigh of relief for their former Soviet comrades.

    "According to our judgment, the Soviet Volga Front Army may not be able to defend the banks of the Volga River, but holding Nizhny Novgorod is not a big problem. Kolchak's military strength and firepower are only on par with the Soviet Red Army on the other side.  That¡¯s all.

    Of course, the Soviet Red Army on the eastern front was severely weakened by the defeat in the Battle of Ufa. If the Third Army did not receive timely support from the Eighth and Tenth Army, it would definitely block Kolchak's elite main force!  "Hata Junroku analyzed further.

    "According to the results of our intelligence and reconnaissance, the current deployment of the Soviet-Russian Volga Front is roughly like this." Shunroku Hata changed his baton and pointed to the combat map of the Volga River Basin on the wall.

    "The Berzin Third Army of the Soviet Volga Front has its main force deployed on the line from Cheboksary to Kazan. It now has about 7 divisions of troops. The Gidis Tenth Army heading north from the Tsaritsyn area is now  There are about 8 divisions of troops that have arrived at the line from Simbirsk to Kazan. The Eighth Army of Chernavin, which is also heading north, is responsible for the defense of the Saratov-Sezlan-Simbirsk line.  About 4 divisions.¡±

    Shunroku Hata pointed out the troop deployment of the Soviet Volga Front Army one by one on the combat map. Several combat staff quickly placed red flags representing the Soviet Red Army all over the area that Shunroku Hata had just marked.

    Here Lezhevsky couldn't help raising his hand and asked, "Your Excellency, Major General, how did you obtain these troop deployments of the Soviet Red Army through reconnaissance? After all, it has only been a week since the Battle of Ufa ended. I guess even Moscow may not be able to do so."  Knowing the specific locations of the infantry divisions of the Southern Front retreating north, why did you get all this information? "

    What Lezhevsky asked was also a question on the minds of most Russian generals who participated in the coalition military conference for the first time. Intelligence and reconnaissance have always been the clairvoyance and ears of war. It would be strange for a blind man riding a blind horse to win. Everyone was surprised.  What's more interesting is how can the coalition's intelligence be so detailed, down to the specific location of each division of the Red Army?

    Going to the enemy for reconnaissance and intelligence collection takes time, and it also depends on luck!  The Southern Front of the Soviet Red Army withdrew from Tsaritsyn to the north in less than a week. While Slavin and Rzhevsky were surprised at the rapid mobilization of the Soviet Red Army, they were also curious about how the coalition forces detected this information.  What channel does the feedback come back through?

    "Uh Well, Lieutenant General Rzhevsky, I have to give you an idea. There is no such word as you in this big conference room. There are only us. You are now the Volga Federal Army Saratov.  The commander of the army is not the commander of the Fourth Army of the Soviet Red Army. Don't keep thinking of yourself as a Red Army!" Shunroku Hata reminded Rzhevsky kindly.  |

    The other generals in the conference room laughed loudly, looking at several senior generals of the former Soviet Red Army with eyes full of banter.

    Not only Lezhevsky here, but also several other Soviet Red Army generals who had just switched camps, such as Slavin and Yegorov, also blushed. They secretly warned themselves in their hearts. The so-called reciprocation of kindness must remember themselves.  Now he is no longer a Bolshevik or Red Army general, but a re-appointed Lieutenant General of the Volga Federal Army and Commander of the Army Group. You must sit upright and don't unknowingly change your stance.

    "Half of the coalition's reconnaissance of the front line relies on aerial reconnaissance by Hawkeye early warning aircraft. Every day, four Hawkeye reconnaissance aircraft take turns day and night to conduct reconnaissance and radio monitoring along the Volga River and the opponent's ground 300 kilometers deep. In addition, we also penetrate  A large number of ground reconnaissance teams went to the other side of the Volga River, some crossed the river, and some were airdropped, and they all carried radios to feed back intelligence at any time. "

    Shunroku Hata briefly revealed the battlefield reconnaissance methods of the coalition forces. As for the military intelligence obtained from within the Soviet Russian regime, the Kolchak regime, and the German-Austrian Allies through the intelligence system of the Allied Powers, he will not mention it here.

    "Your Excellency, Major General, didn't the Volga Federation sign the "Samara Peace Treaty" with the Soviet Russian regime, and the two sides ceased war and established diplomatic relations? Are we just openly entering and exiting the other side's territory for reconnaissance? Isn't this aggression and destruction of the peace treaty? Doesn't Moscow have any intention of doing so?  Take the necessary reaction without noticing it?" The Slavon couldn't help but raise his hand and asked.

    Slavin¡¯s question raised questions in many people¡¯s minds, but the generals of the Chinese and Japanese armies were completely unmoved.?, and the Russian generals obviously did not have a deep enough understanding of the coalition's command and combat style. At this time, they all looked at the war room director who was explaining in front of the combat map with doubts.

    "This question, in fact, cannot be limited to any peace treaty or obligation. In this world, one has a say based on strength. Of course, the ground reconnaissance teams we send out will not wear the uniforms of the coalition forces and the Volga Federation, disguise themselves as bandits or stragglers  The Soviet Red Army soldiers are the most commonly used method. As for aerial reconnaissance, it is indeed a bit unscrupulous, but we call it supervising the Soviet Union¡¯s sincerity in complying with the peace treaty! "

    "Our Hawkeye reconnaissance aircraft are only for reconnaissance and intelligence collection, and do not pose a threat to Soviet ground forces. Moreover, we have a clause in the Samara Peace Treaty that stipulates that after the two sides recognize the armistice and mutual recognition, the troops within 300 kilometers of the border zone between the two sides will be  All transfers are subject to the obligation to notify the other party in advance.

    So our reconnaissance planes only operate within 300 kilometers of the left bank of the Volga River during the day. Moscow now has no combat aircraft to defend their airspace, so they have to admit this loss with their noses pinched!  " Before Shunroku Hata finished speaking, many of the Chinese and Japanese generals and the Russian generals of the Federation in the conference room burst into laughter. Most of them were obviously in a good mood. Speaking of which, war is still a jungle where the jungle is strong.  If you have the ability, just shoot down our reconnaissance plane and take a look?

    "Major General Hata, tell us about your chess simulation of this battle between the Soviet Red Army and the Kolchak White Guards. I know you have put a lot of thought and effort into it!" Wang Geng told Hata.  Junliu said.

    "Yes, Your Excellency Commander-in-Chief, as you said just now, we judge that Kolchak's main force will launch an offensive tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. Since the Soviet Red Army is on the defensive side, in the first stage, their forces have been arranged along the river.  A long snake formation, although both sides can invest more than 200,000 troops.

    However, the main force of the enemy's offensive in the direction of Kazan is relatively concentrated. We feel that the first phase of the cross-river battle will end with the defeat of the Soviet Red Army. It will probably not last more than three days. According to the strength of Kolchak's troops in the direction of Kazan  Deployment, we speculate that he will divide the main force into three offensive groups on the left and center, and the Volga River Railway Bridge in the center is the key point of attack and defense for both sides!  "

    ¡°In addition, Kolchak¡¯s Northern Route Army will advance westward from the north bank of the Volga River, and the main attack area of ??the Northern Route Army to break through the Volga River defense line is from Cheboksary to the city of Maria Alexandrovna (Marinsky  towns).

    This distance is about 36 kilometers. The narrowest point of the Volga River here is no more than 300 meters. If the Northern Route Army can break through the river defenses and capture Cheboksary, it will cut off the retreat route of the Soviet Red Army in the east. In this case  In order to avoid being encircled, the Soviet Red Army stranded on the other side of Kazan had no better way than to retreat south and southwest as soon as possible!  "Hata Shunroku analyzed.

    "Does Berzin's Third Army only deploy two infantry divisions in Cheboksary?" Slavin asked, raising his hand. This man was located close to the big map on the wall, and he could clearly see clearly.  There are 2 small red flags between Cheboksary and Maria Alexandrovna. It is about 65 kilometers of river from the city of Alexandrovna to Zelenodolsk, 20 kilometers west of Kazan in the east.  Duan, it¡¯s just a small flag.

    "According to the results of our reconnaissance, it is true that the Third Army has only seven divisions in total, two of which are deployed from Cheboksary to Alexandrovna, and one from Alexandrovna to Zelenondo  Ersk, the main force of the remaining three divisions of the group army focuses on defending the Volga River Railway Bridge and two wings in Kazan, and the other division is on mobile defense between Nizhny Novgorod and Cheboksary."

    "Your Majesty, Major General, didn't you say that the other side's Volga Front rebuilt and replenished the First and Fifth Army? Where are the positions of these two armies?" Slavin was actually more concerned about the troops he had left on the left bank of the Volga.  The two divisions of the Fifth Army, it seems now, if they had been brought across the river together, they might still be able to serve the Volga Federation under their leadership.

    If he stayed on the Soviet side, he would probably become a second-line army of a no-name army that no one cared about. For a while, Slavin felt a bit indescribable.

    "Tukhachevsky just seemed to have disappeared and never appeared. Of course, we don't want him to be picked up by wild wolves in the Ural Mountains. He is guarded by excellent cavalry such as Xia Boyang and Furmanov. Figure  Khachevsky will not die so easily, but according to the situation we have now, these three have not yet returned to the Soviet Red Army."

    "The reconstruction of the First Army is based on an infantry division left by the original Fifth Army on the left bank of the Volga River. They are currently stationed in Saransk in the west to rest and wait for replenishment. 30,000 soldiers from the Ufa Battle were voluntarily sent back.  Probably more than half of the Red Army prisoners of war belonged to the original First Army of the Eastern Front. It is estimated that most of these 30,000 people will return.??Return to Saransk and join the First Army.  "

    The Fifth Army of the Soviet Red Army has one infantry division left. The reconstruction of this army is mainly based on half of the remaining 40,000 prisoners returned from Tsarist Russia as new forces. The current assembly location should be in Nizhny Novgoro.  Virtue.

    Judging from Moscow's arrangements, the Fifth Army will become a reserve army. The workers' division from Moscow will integrate the original Nizhny Novgorod workers' division. It seems that the Fifth Army will be rebuilt the fastest.  .  "Hata Junroku said.

    "Your Majesty, Major General, do we know who the new commander of the re-established Fifth Army of the Soviet Red Army is?" Slavin couldn't help raising his hand again and asked. As the former commander of the Fifth Army of the Soviet Red Army,  Slavin's curiosity was a little uncontrollable.

    Slavin's question, in fact, several Russian generals are also curious. The Fifth Army of the Volga Front has obviously become the general reserve of the opponent's new front, and it has been rebuilt as a priority and placed in Nizhny Novgorod.  It is a strategically important town that cannot be missed, which makes everyone want to know who will lead and command this army group.

    "Well, according to the intelligence we have, Moscow appointed Sergei Sergeyevich Kamenev, the former Chief of Staff of the Third Army of the Eastern Front, as the commander of the reconstructed and restored Fifth Army! Partner with him  The political commissar was Klyuyev who was transferred from the Southern Front. This Nikolai Alexeevich Klyuyev was previously the political commissar of the Eighth Army and Chernavin's partner.

    And that Vladimir Nikolayevich Chernavin has been promoted to the chief of staff of the Volga Front, and concurrently serves as the commander of the Eighth Army and a member of the Front Military Committee. The position of political commissar of the Eighth Army has been handed over to  The original political commissar of the Third Army, Mikhail Mikhailovich Rashevich.  "

    Obviously, Wang Geng¡¯s coalition headquarters has amazing efficiency and accuracy in intelligence collection and reconnaissance!
