    "Klement Yefimovich, since the Fifth Army is on the western frontier, which is the second line of defense, I suggest that the front army headquarters can start from Comrade Sergey Sergeyevich Kamenev.  The Fifth Army will dispatch some troops, led by Comrade Comrade Political Commissar of the Third Army, to the Eastern Front to stop the enemy!" Berzin made his request directly.

    "Karl Ivanovich, I think your suggestion is a bit imprudent and even has ulterior motives. Most of the Fifth Army is made up of new recruits. Many of them cannot pull the bolts of their guns and are in a hurry to load bullets. How can you do this?"  With such an important mission?

    It was not the reserve corps that Kolchak came over to kill. The Kazan 1st, 2nd and 3rd divisions of the White Guards were all the opponent's ace main divisions. Even if they were to block the attack, they should have transferred their main forces from your Third Army.  That's right!  "

    The person who spoke was the political commissar of the Fifth Army, Nikolay Alexeevich Lyubimov, who was the former partner of the Front Army Chief of Staff Chernavin and the political commissar of the Eighth Army. He was now transferred to the Fifth Army.  The Fifth Army served as political commissar for Kamenev. His position was very subtle. First, he was consistent with his own Army Commander Kamenev, believing that teams should be sent to block the enemy and gain support for the defense of Nizhny Novgorod.  more time.

    However, he and Kamenev did not think that sending new troops from the Fifth Army could accomplish such an arduous task. To block an attack, we should use fewer enemies and more enemies to make the weak enemies stronger. Of course, we should use the most combat-effective troops. At this moment, the third  The Third Army's combat effectiveness obviously far exceeds that of the Fifth Army, and the combat effectiveness of Kolchak's White Guards on the opposite side is at least as good as Berzin's Third Army. Of course, troops from the Third Army should be deployed to block the attack.

    After Lyubimov said these words, Kamenev, the commander of the Fifth Army next to him, breathed a sigh of relief and looked at himself, the political commissar from the Southern Front, with approval. Chernavin, the chief of staff of the front above, listened in his heart.  It is also comfortable and tight, which can obviously deplete Berzin's Third Army and consume losses. Chernavin does not have any psychological barriers.

    Voroshilov and the front military political commissar Kamenev looked at each other, feeling a little unhappy, but did not show it on their faces. They just said lightly,

    "Nikolai Alexeevich's words also make sense. According to the intelligence fed back by the front army's reconnaissance unit, Kolchak's forwards were the 1st, 2nd and 3rd Kazan Divisions, as well as the Don River Division.  The appearance of the designations of the 3rd and 4th Cossack Cavalry Divisions clearly shows that they are the main force of the first-class White Guards. Our Fifth Army has mostly new recruits, and its combat effectiveness cannot be compared with the opponent's. If they are sent to block the attack, they may be exposed to others.  Send the fat!"

    "Klement Yefimovich, you yourself agreed just now that the main force of the Third Army is the main force in the defense of Nizhny Novgorod. If it is deployed to block the attack, no matter how good the fight is, there will be unforeseen consequences.  A small loss will weaken the strength of Nizhny Novgorod's frontal defense. Who will bear this responsibility? "

    "Vladimir Nikolayevich just said that Moscow gave us a fatal order not to take a step back from Nizhny Novgorod. If the frontal defense strength of the Third Army is weakened, the defense line will be breached by the enemy.  If so, will I, Berzin, be shot or the commander of the Fifth Army?"

    "The Front Army Headquarters cannot place all the burden on our Third Army. Let me tell you, we fought several bloody battles on the Kazan-Cheboksary line, while the soldiers of the Fifth Army were in Nizhny Novgorod.  Sun, my troops are exhausted. The 27th Infantry Division and the two Moscow Workers' Garrison Divisions of the Fifth Army cannot be considered new recruits, right? Why do they have to hide under the sign of new recruits and dare not go into battle?"

    "Moreover, the 20,000 Tsarist Russian prisoners of war who returned from the German prisoner-of-war camps have no shortage of military skills and combat experience. There is no problem that they can't pull the bolt or load the bullet. They are not new recruits, so why can't they go into battle? I think some comrades  You just ask others to be heroes, and when it's your turn, you act like a bear. If this continues, when will the combat effectiveness and cohesion of our Volga Front be truly developed?"

    The commander of the Third Army of the Soviet Red Army, Karl Ivanovich Berzin, spoke so clearly and clearly that every word was hard to refute. This silenced the entire front headquarters war room.  Come down.

    "War is not about shouting slogans louder and louder. We have to be responsible for the soldiers. Without necessary training and preparation, letting them rush to the battlefield is no different from dying. This is not about who is a hero and who is a bear.  Problem! We must face reality. Although the 27th Infantry Division of the Fifth Army is a veteran, at this time, the cadres and soldiers and the backbone of the Bolsheviks areIt was split into seven divisions, how could it be taken back in a hurry?  "

    "Although the former Tsarist Russian prisoners of war who returned from the German prisoner-of-war camps did not lack military skills and battlefield experience, they were inhumanely tortured by the Germans for such a long time in the prisoner-of-war camp, and the domestic situation changed so drastically. For them,  It is one thing to return to the country, but it is another thing to join the Soviet Red Army in battle. Without strengthening ideological education and training, rushing into battle is sending prisoners to Kolchak's White Guards! "

    The commander of the Fifth Army, Sergei Sergeyevich Kamenev, did not bother to break up with Berzin, his old partner, and stood up directly to say that the Fifth Army was barely able to defend the defense line.  , at this time, it is impossible to dispatch a separate unit to fight in the east to stop Kolchak's White Guards. This must not be done!

    "Klement Yefimovich, this is irresponsible to the commanders and fighters of the army, to the Fifth Army, and to the Volga Front. I firmly oppose the use of new divisions to fight any blockade! No matter whether it is the Fifth Army  Neither the new recruits of the Third Army nor the new recruits of the Third Army can undertake such a difficult task!" Kamenev's attitude was very firm.

    "You emphasize this and that, and you have difficulties in just one sentence? Who doesn't have difficulties? When we defended Tsaritsyn, we had to take up the position as soon as we picked up a gun. Men and women didn't care about distinctions. Sergei Sergey  Vicky, the difficulties you mentioned certainly exist, but are we so intimidated by them? If recruits don¡¯t go into battle, they will always be recruits, and the flowers in the greenhouse will never grow strong!¡±

    Voroshilov slapped the table and got angry. He was not necessarily targeting the Fifth Army alone, but he was annoyed that the commanders of the two armies still had time to emphasize their own difficulties in the face of the enemy.
