    "Karl Ivanovich, I admit that the other party may use an armored train to pioneer the situation. We have not considered it so carefully. However, since it is a blockade, we will definitely fight head-on. If the other party drives an armored train,  Come on, let¡¯s sneak away with our tail between our legs, so how can we fight this battle?¡± Chernavin, the chief of staff of the front army, said unwillingly.

    "Vladimir Nikolayevich, the advantages of the armored train are armor, firepower and mobility. Its fatal weakness is that it is difficult to move without the railway. Therefore, no matter how powerful the armored train is, it is not omnipotent. If it has heavy artillery,  Of course we can destroy armored trains or bomb from the air, but we don't have these conditions, so we have to find a way from the railway!" Berzin shook his head, obviously disapproving of Chernavin.  statement.

    Chernavin hit a soft nail and was choked by Berzin, speechless. His face turned slightly red and he hesitated to speak. It was quite embarrassing. Merzheninov, the chief of staff of the Third Army, continued,

    "I agree with what Karl Ivanovich said. Although the armored train is a hedgehog with thick skin and strong firepower, its shortcomings are as obvious as its advantages. We lost two armored trains in the battle of Chivelisk. The other side used  Intense artillery fire destroyed our locomotive, causing the entire armored train to be paralyzed and unable to move. Moreover, the artillery still had a blind spot for shooting. Not all on-board weapons can be used in one direction at the same time, so its firepower will also be based on the terrain.  Discounted due to differences in track trends!¡±

    "Karl Ivanovich, if Kolchak's White Guards use armored trains as the vanguard to attack westward, we can bury explosives on the railway line and wait for the opponent's armored trains to arrive and detonate them. Although it cannot subvert  A whole armored train, but it should be able to block the opponent's progress!" Xia Jianke frowned thoughtfully.

    "That's true. As long as the rails are destroyed, the other side's armored trains will be useless!" Shaposhnikov, the chief of staff of the Fifth Army, said with bright eyes.

    "Well, Boris Mikhailovich, in fact this is the only way, but the enemy can repair it quickly, and don't forget, the 76mm Russian mountain gun equipped on the armored train has a range of at least 5  Kilometers or more means that targets exposed within the fire range of the armored train will continue to be hit by the opponent's firepower. To put it bluntly, the stopped armored train is still a hedgehog. Your anti-aircraft gun battalion and heavy machine gun battalion will have no impact on the armored train.  There is absolutely no advantage in shooting!¡±

    "But don't forget, this is not over yet. Since the enemy is attacking, even if his armored train stops and waits for engineers to repair the track, his infantry and cavalry attacking along both sides of the railway line do not have to stop. If it were me, then  I'm going to outflank your retreat from both wings, my comrade Yefim Afanasyevich!" Berzin dropped his pencil and walked back to his chair as he spoke.

    "Do you have any good ideas? Tell us what you think? This armored train is indeed very difficult to deal with!" Voroshilov frowned and said.

    "The Art of War says, avoid the real and attack the weak. If Kolchak takes the lead with an armored train, then I will let him pass. Anyway, he has to stop constantly to repair the road. I will avoid his armored train and attack his follow-up troops.  , It is impossible for all trains to be armored trains, the enemy must have more trains that are ordinary troop trains and freight trains!" Xia Jianke looked at Berzin beside him and said word by word, this guy is obviously very fast!  Countermeasures have been figured out.

    "Efim Afanasyevich, your cavalry detachment is to block and delay the enemy's offensive. Some things are easier to think about than to do. Of course, the cavalry unit can't run away if it can't defeat it. Anyway, hold the promise.  There is no shortage of cavalry in Fugorod, but there are three heavy machine gun battalions and two anti-aircraft artillery battalions. You must save more energy for me, and don't rush in all the time." Berzin didn't care at all!  The way.

    "Well, Kliment Yefremovich, I have a suggestion. Yefim Afanasyevich's cavalry detachment should indeed avoid the real situation and attack the weak point. I think his cavalry detachment can give up the front.  Block the attack and set the target at Reskovo. The enemy attacks all the way from Yadlin to the west. After capturing Reskovo, this place will inevitably become a base for the accumulation of arms supplies and logistics support.

    I even thought that we should wait for the other side's armored train to drive dozens of kilometers away, and then blast and cut off the railway from behind, thus separating the other side's armored train from the team behind. In addition, I suggested that we should  Try to launch the attack at night, so that the other side can't figure out our reality and dare not easily leave the railway line to pursue, but we can advance and retreat freely, and run away after the fight!  "

    The person who spoke was the commander of the Fifth Army, Sergei Sergeyevich Kamenev, who was overwhelmed by the heated discussion in the war room.I was so excited to try it that I came up with a good idea in a blink of an eye.

    "That's very well said, Sergey Sergeyevich. I, the former commander-in-chief of the enemy, have more confidence! Yefim Afanasyevich, what do you think of this suggestion?" Voroshi  Love nodded to the commander of the Fifth Army with satisfaction, then turned to ask Xia Jianke again.

    Xia Jianke thought for a while, stood up again, walked to the map, carefully looked at the situation of both sides on it, turned around and said,

    "Everyone's suggestions and opinions just now are very valuable. Kliment Yefremovich, now I have a new idea. It is indeed necessary to avoid the truth and attack the weakness. On the one hand, cutting off the opponent's logistical support is on the other hand.  On the one hand, I was thinking about whether we could not even attack Reskovo, but we could continue our covert march to the east and attack Yadlin directly. Of course, it would be very difficult. It would take at least two days to cover 150 kilometers without being discovered by the enemy!  That¡¯s it!¡±

    Shadenko gave up his earlier plan to block frontal attacks from the side. Not only did he let Reskovo go, he actually pointed his sights directly at Yadlin, the White Guards' outpost starting position!  As he spoke, the man picked up his pencil and drew a big cross on the Sula River railway bridge north of Yadlin, then turned around and said,

    "Don't Kolchak like to rely on railways for rapid transportation and mobilization? We attacked Yadlin at night and blew up the railway bridge on the Sula River. Speaking of which, when we retreated, we should have destroyed this railway bridge on the Sula River.  The bridge was blown up, and I felt soft-hearted for a while, always thinking that I would fight back soon, but it would become an obstacle to the counterattack. Now it seems that as long as the bridge is blown up, it will not be repaired in ten days and a half. It will definitely delay Gao!  The pace of Erchak¡¯s attack!¡±
