    Berzin and Merzheninov were stunned when they heard this. Under normal circumstances, even if there are differences of opinion among the military commander, political commissar and chief of staff of the same unit of the Soviet Red Army, they are usually limited to internal debates and will not be discussed by superiors.  You can basically maintain consistency in front of your superiors or subordinates, otherwise everyone will have grudges when they work together as partners afterwards.

    What Berzin didn't expect was that the southern political commissar Shatenko, who had just won favor with him during the Cheboksary defense operations, would so quickly take a clear-cut stand with Voroshilov and Cherna.  Has the position of Wen, the former Southern Front generals from Tsaritsyn changed?  This kid doesn't even wear a lurking mask. Isn't this a little too arrogant?  After all, I'm still the commander of the Third Army. Aren't you afraid that I'll give you little shoes in the future?

    In fact, Shadenko really didn¡¯t mean to go against his own group army commander. In his opinion, Berzin was just acting on his own initiative and was not convinced by Chernavin, the chief of staff of the front army. As a commander of a main group army, Shadenko  I don¡¯t believe Berzin can¡¯t see that blocking the enemy and buying time plays a key role in the defense of Nizhny Novgorod.

    Moreover, due to its strong combat effectiveness, the Third Army was arranged on the eastern defense line, which is the main direction of Kolchak's attack. If it is not blocked, the enemy will be able to advance to the southeastern suburbs by tomorrow evening at the latest. Although the Third Army's circular defense line has been initially established  , but the troops have just entered their respective preset positions. Ammunition, food, and material reserves are still in full swing. Many of the new soldiers, especially the third batch of workers in Nizhny Novgorod, have loaded their bullets and  I'm still learning how to aim and shoot.

    In this case, it is right to say that the Third Army is more anxious. Can Berzin see this now?  Xia Jianke is a political commissar with a very good grasp of flexibility and principles. As the political commissar of the army is facing a formidable enemy, what he considers is not Berzin's mood, but the future and destiny of the entire Third Army.  The future and destiny of Nizhny Novgorod!

    Of course, if the Third Army collapsed on the eastern defense line, Kamenev's young Fifth Army alone would be wishful thinking to stop the wolf-like Kolchak!  Therefore, Shatenko stood up without hesitation and supported sending a powerful force eastward to block the enemy's attack and buy more time for the two armies in Nizhny Novgorod.

    "Yes, this is a good idea. Yefim Afanasyevich, we cannot let the enemy lead us by the nose. What specific suggestions do you have?" Voroshilov's eyes lit up, obviously  I am quite satisfied with Shatenko's statement. These are the good cadres trained by Tsaritsin and the Southern Front. As for Berzin, Voroshilov's evaluation of Berzin has obviously dropped a level in his heart. The enemy is currently  , and you are still thinking of being factional and engaging in hilltop doctrine. If you continue to act like this, sooner or later your future in the Soviet Red Army and the Volga Front will be ruined.

    "Klement Yefimov, I haven't thought much about the specifics, but the question at hand is obvious. First, whether to block the attack. I think that if we want to block the block, every day we gain time, I will give in to Novgorod.  Rhodes' defense line is more stable, allowing the reorganized and replenished group army to regain more combat effectiveness!"

    As for the second one, which troops should be sent to stop the attack?  How to specifically block it?  The force is too small, and like the militia guerrillas organized by the local Soviet Union, it is useless. I heard that the front army's reconnaissance unit was also wiped out and driven out by the enemy, and suffered a lot of losses. Therefore, the blocking force we sent out must  It has a certain fighting capacity, so that the meat buns won¡¯t beat the dog and never look back, giving it to the other party to eat for nothing!  "

    From the former political commissar of the Budyonny Cavalry Division of the Southern Front to the political commissar of the Third Army, Yefim Afanasyevich Shatenko's performance at this time is fully worthy of the status of an army-level commander.  Rather than just being a Bolshevik political commissar who can shout slogans, in fact, when he was in the Budyonny Cavalry Division, this guy often fought with Budyonny with a brigade each. Therefore, although he was born as a political cadre, Shatenko's  Military command literacy and battlefield sense are no worse than those of military commanders.

    "Comrade Yefim Afanasyevich said very well. What do you think? I think there is no need to discuss the matter of sending troops to intercept. The front headquarters has been decided. The key is to send which troops.  Blocking? What kind of goal is to be achieved? Who will be sent to lead this force?" Voroshilov struck while the iron was hot and asked.

    "I obey the decision of the front army headquarters, and since the political commissar of the Third Army has so many abilities and ideas, I think it is a suitable arrangement to let Yefim Afanasievich lead the troops to block the attack. What do you think?"  Berzin, commander of the Third Army Group, said coldly.

    The conference room suddenly fell silent. The cadres of the two group armies looked at each other without speaking. Their eyes turned to Berzin and his political commissar Xia Jianke.??, here Voroshilov and Chernavin obviously did not expect that Berzin would turn around so quickly, and the arrival was unkind. As soon as they changed hands, they pushed their political commissar Shatenko to the front desk, making it clear that they were  I want Comrade Yefim Afanasyevich to look good.

    "Berzin's Third Army shoulders the important task of defending Nizhny Novgorod. I suggest that the blocking troops be transferred from other places. Otherwise, the strength of the defensive troops will be weakened. Once the enemy approaches the city, we will be weaker than the enemy.  That blockade did not weaken the enemy, but consumed and weakened our own strength!"

    Kamenev, member of the Central Committee of the Soviet Union and First Military Commissar of the Volga Military District and Front Army, suddenly said, obviously, the unity and strength of the Third Army are Kamenev's top priority, and this conversation is also on point.  On the above, the blocking force is obviously weak and the enemy is strong, and is likely to suffer losses. However, Berzin's Third Army shoulders the important task of defending the eastern and southeastern fronts. They can only strengthen their strength and must not weaken it!

    When the political commissar of the front army said this, the war room fell into silence again. Everyone looked at each other with their own thoughts, but no one spoke anymore. Voroshilov turned around a few times with his hands behind his back, stopped and looked at everyone and said,

    "In principle, I agree with the formulation of Comrade Comrade Lev Borisovich, the political commissar. The Third Army, as the main force in the defense of Nizhny Novgorod, cannot be easily weakened and dispersed. If troops can be mobilized from other places, the next  All the infantry divisions in Novgorod have been organized into the Third and Fifth Armies, where else can troops be mobilized?¡±
