    "I forgot to tell you that Chief of Staff Hastings borrowed three armored trains from Ufa in the Volga Federation. They were the armored train detachment that originally guarded the railway line between Ufa and Kamala nad Kama. However,  One of them is used to patrol and guard the railway line between the south bank of Kazan and Cheboksary. The chief of staff said that the remaining two trains will be allocated to our Cheboksary North Group for use! We will reach the front line this evening!  "

    With a proud tone in his voice, Gliniov informed his new subordinates of this unexpected surprise!  As for the deal between Pepelyaev and Guillaume Nikolayevich Hastings of the Volga Federation, that is a matter between the big shots, but with Glinio  The armored train that my husband has always been thinking about makes this man very confident in guarding Cheboksary!

    "Armored train? That's great!" Several White Guard generals exclaimed in unison. During the previous offensive in Cheboksary, Berzin's Soviet Third Army had not had five armored trains maneuvering back and forth.  Holding the line of defense, Chivelisk couldn't hold it at all. Early in the morning, Kolchak's White Guards made dumplings and even took away the pot!

    "Peter Andreevich, everyone, I have a new idea. If we have an armored train, not only can Yadlin be held as the first bridgehead, but we can even try to use the armored train as a guide to move towards Yadlin.  Attack west of Delin! This will catch our opponents off guard. They think we won't be able to slow down for seven or eight days, so we will resume the offensive and make a full-strength march westward!" Dubrovs said fiercely!  He banged the table and said.

    "Attack to the west? Andrei Gavrilovich, are you kidding me? We may not be able to defend with this small force, so why attack?" Zu Lin, commander of the 2nd Division, blushed and jumped instinctively.  They rose up to object, and several division chiefs of staff looked at each other in shock when they heard this. Apparently they all felt that Dubrovsky was out of his mind because of his whims.

    "Well, Andrei Gavrilovich, tell me what you think, even if the reasons are not sufficient! You also know that our military strength is only one-fifth or less than one-fifth of the Soviet Red Army opposite us!" Gurley  Nioff held his chin and thought for a moment before asking.

    Dubrovsky tapped the map on the table with his finger and said with some confidence,

    "My idea is based on the fact that we will have two armored trains. Along the railway line, we will use the armored train to open the way, and hang troop carriers behind it. Counting 20 additional troop carriers, at least one can be sent on it.  With the strength of the regiment, plus the 20 cannons and 30 Maxim heavy machine guns on the armored train, as well as the original five companies of on-board infantry, such an armored train should be able to exert sufficient combat effectiveness! "

    "Besides, we have two trains, so that we can dispatch a brigade of infantry, and the two armored train detachments respond back and forth. We attack along the railway line, making a grand gesture of preparing to capture Nizhny Novgorod.  Even if we can't attack, at least we have restrained the opponent. When they come to their senses and counterattack, we can retreat to the bridgehead on the Adelin line! If we go back and forth like this, a week may have passed!"

    The more Dubrovsky talked, the more excited he became, and his eyes lit up. However, the chiefs of staff and the commander of the 2nd Division, Zulin, were doubtful. They always felt that even with two armored trains, a brigade of troops would be used to attack.  Nizhny Novgorod, where two armies of the Soviet Red Army are stationed, is also a fantasy!

    "Are you sure? Andrei Gavrilovich, how much you can gain is secondary. The key is that the attacking troops cannot let the enemy discover the truth and make dumplings for us in one go. The loss will be huge.  Damn it, no, the loss cannot be made up. Our two armored trains are treasures borrowed from the Volga Federation. If they are damaged in Nizhny Novgorod and cannot be evacuated, then I can't follow them.  Guillaume Nikolayevich explains!¡±

    The new cluster commander Pyotr Andreevich Glinov is also a bold leader. He is more concerned about Dubrovsky's style of play, which will better enable Cheboksary.  The swarm pretended to be the entire main force of the White Guards. At this moment, the main force of the White Guards stood still in Cheboksary for three consecutive days, unable to protect both Nizhny Novgorod and Moscow.

    If Cheboksary's White Guards continue to attack at this time, then the opponent will definitely think that Kolchak finally chose the westward war plan. By then, they will probably be too busy setting up the defense line, let alone counterattack and attack.  This is quite beneficial for covering Kolchak's main force going south to look for fighters.

    "Pyotr Andreevich, give this glorious task to my Kazan 3rd Division. Originally, the 2nd Regiment of my 5th Brigade was stationed in Yadlin. I will lead the main force of the 3rd Division up.  The 5th Brigade defends Yadlin and arranges defenseLine, the 6th brigade got on the train, and was escorted by an armored train at the front and rear. I personally led the team to attack in the direction of Novgorod!  I don¡¯t dare to say how many Soviet Red Army troops were destroyed, but at least they could scare the other side. At least, they would not dare to go out east of Nizhny Novgorod for three days!  "

    Dubrovsky knew that the idea of ????raising the banner and attacking westward was his own, and that it was his own regiment stationed in Yadlin. Regardless of success or failure, this task was handed over to the 3rd Kazan Army, which maintained the most combat effectiveness.  Teacher is a matter of course!

    "What do you think? Andrei Gavrilovich volunteered to let the 3rd Division take on this heavy burden. Do you think it's okay? Don't be a gourd with a sawed mouth, let's talk about it!" Glinov was obviously confused.  Dubrovsky was moved by his bold attack plan, but he was still a little unsure, so he asked everyone for their opinions again.

    "Peter Andreevich, I think the risk is too high. That Berzin of Soviet Russia is not a vegetarian. If his Third Army counterattacks, I'm afraid that our attacking troops may not have time to withdraw. What if it really happens?"  There¡¯s no place to cry when people are making dumplings!¡± Minsky, Zulin¡¯s chief of staff of the 2nd Division, was as cautious as Zulin and was the first to object.

    "You can't say that. Didn't the Chinese Sun Tzu's Art of War say that if there is insufficient defense, there will be more than enough to attack? The way I understand it is that defense is passive, so the defense is comprehensive. As a result, the troops are even more insufficient. What about offense?  , because they take the initiative, they can choose the time, place and method of attack by themselves. Therefore, when the number of troops is small, it may not be enough for defense, but it is more than enough for attack!
