Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Damn, the troops of the five divisions did not stay in Cheboksary and fought all the way to Nizhny Novgorod. If Berzin or Merzheninov had been the commander of the White Guards,  , I really don¡¯t have the courage to do this!

    "Sergey Alexanderevich, even if the frontline reconnaissance team failed to conduct reconnaissance and did not detect the main force of Kolchak going south, the enemy troops in Cheboksary actually fought all the way to Kostow despite insufficient strength.  Wo, we hit your Third Army right under the nose. Before evening, you were all calling for the front army to dispatch armored trains to support you, and you kept asking for anti-aircraft artillery shells. Could it be said that the enemy in front of you is three divisions?  Or can¡¯t you see the three battalions?¡±

    What Chernavin, the Chief of Staff of the Front Army, said was a bit hurtful. Merzheninov, the Chief of Staff of the Third Army, blushed. Before he could tell, Berzin had already jumped up, slapped the table and shouted,

    "Vladimir Nikolayevich, you are talking nonsense. Who told you that the White Guards attacking Kostvo only had three battalions? The opponent was equipped with two armored trains, that is, two armored train regiments.  strength, and there are four artillery companies, which equals the firepower equipment of two infantry divisions.

    In addition, the cavalry of the opponent's vanguard force is at least one regiment, and the infantry deployed in front of them is at least one brigade. Who told you that there are only three battalions?  !  The opponent's strength exceeds at least one division, and its firepower exceeds two divisions. How about you go into battle and charge at Kostovo? I'll give you a regiment and you can try it out?  "

    Berzin¡¯s calculations were really fast. Even though night fell after the exploratory attack and the enemy¡¯s situation was unknown in the darkness, he calculated that the strength of the White Guards in front of them was at least one division.

    The chief of staff of the front army was dumbfounded and couldn't help but argued, "How can the armored train detachment be counted as the main force of the infantry division? Moreover, an armored train can only hold 3 artillery companies and a heavy machine gun battalion, plus a vehicle-mounted reinforced infantry battalion.  The infantry force cannot be counted as a regiment!"

    "Come down, you are the chief of staff of the front army. The armored train detachment is a regiment in terms of organization, and the artillery and machine gun firepower is equivalent to a division. Do you think this is 1805? The number of soldiers with rifles on the ground is just counted in the battle?" Berzin retorted.  road.

    "Enough! Now is not a waste of time arguing about who is right and wrong. Everyone is responsible for failing to detect the enemy's situation. The battle is not fought well, the enemy's situation is unclear, and reconnaissance is poor. This has nothing to do with the number of troops. The front army headquarters convened an emergency operation  The purpose of the meeting is to find out where Kolchak's main forces have gone. How many troops of the White Guards are making trouble along the hundreds of kilometers of railways from Cheboksary to Kostovo? This question is not clear.  Tell the Moscow Central Committee?¡±

    Voroshilov slapped the table with a dark face and brought the topic back to the topic. Only then did Berzin and Chernavin sit down energetically. Berzin grabbed the unknown water glass on the table.  , Gudong Gudong poured a cup of cold water, which at least relieved some of the anger. Here, Chernavin frowned and muttered in a low voice, "This is my cup, Karl Ivanovich, I am not familiar with you."  To the extent of drinking water from a cup, right?¡±

    When Berjin heard this, he didn't take it seriously at all. After drinking the water, he put the teapot on the table, wiped his mouth and said, "Comrade Chief of Staff, I see that your hygiene habits are not good. It's time for the orderly to change. This  The teapot hasn't been cleaned yet, and it smells like overnight tea! Don't put it so close to me next time. If you get drunk, you can command the Third Army for me?"

    After the two people interrupted like this, the tense atmosphere just now relaxed a lot. Here, the Chief of Staff of the Fifth Army, Shaposhnikov, couldn't help but said,

    "Comrade the former enemy commander-in-chief, comrade political commissar, everyone, I have a question. Is the battlefield reconnaissance information that Moscow said it transferred from the Volga Federation credible? According to me, I know all about the Volga Federation and Kolchak's Kazan."  The Russian Provisional Government was supported by the Allied Forces. The Prime Minister of the Volga Federation, Pepelyaev, was also the Prime Minister of Kolchak. Is there any trap here? "

    "What Boris Mikhailovich said makes sense, and I feel the same way. Moscow now regards the Volga Federation's intelligence as a golden rule and believes it without any doubt. I'm not saying that this intelligence is necessarily wrong or untrue, but  If we cannot collect intelligence on our own to make judgments and analyses, but are blindly led by others, I am afraid that we will fall into even bigger troubles in the future. I suggest that we must be cautious and cautious. The Volga Federation is not a neighbor.  The cakes sent by the other party were not kept intact and they were poisoned! "

    The speaker was Sergey Sergeyevich Kamenev, the commander of the Fifth Army. This guy obviously believed that Moscow was too prone to illness and seeking medical treatment. The Volga Federation was definitely not a close comrade-in-arms of Soviet Russia. On the contrary, it was with Gamenev.  The Erchak regime is inextricably linked.Under such circumstances, if one is not careful, it will be an irreversible outcome.

    "Comrade Deputy Commander and Political Commissar, is there any news about Comrade Yefim Afanasievich's cavalry detachment? Their combined cavalry force totals more than 3,000 people. They will not be driven out by the enemy again now.  They are running around like rabbits, and you can't even figure out how many White Guards are stationed in Reskovo, right?" Lyubimov, the political commissar of the Fifth Army, said coldly from the side.

    "Report! An urgent call from the cavalry detachment!" Speaking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived, Lyubimov was asking this, when a confidential staff officer from the front army headquarters sent a telegram from the Xia Jianke cavalry detachment that had just been received.

    The eyes of the senior Soviet and Russian generals in the war room lit up when they heard this. Shatenko had previously sent a telegram saying that his cavalry troops had moved to the southeast of Reskovo and that they would wait until the evening to launch the attack. The result would be so soon.  ?  Now it was obvious that Rescovo's enemies were real and true, and both Berzin and Merzheninov felt a little parched.

    Here, Chernavin, the chief of staff of the front army, stepped forward to sign the telegram in the hands of the confidential staff officer, turned around and read it under the light:

    To Nizhny Novgorod

    Volga Front Headquarters

    Former enemy commander-in-chief Voroshilov, political commissar Kamenev, chief of staff Chernavin

    July 27, 1918 18:20

    Our unit launched a tentative attack on the enemy in Rescovo before evening. The opponent was well-defended. It has been found that the White Guards stationed in Rescovo are about one brigade, designated as the 6th Brigade of the 3rd Kazan Infantry Division.  , the enemy is equipped with at least one artillery company and one heavy machine gun battalion, and the fortifications are relatively tight. Considering that our troops are all cavalry, it is not a wise move to attack Reskovo, which is defended by the enemy's superior forces
