    Two consecutive telegrams from the 10th and 8th Army showed that although Kolchak may have led the main force of the White Guards in Cheboksary southward, due to the long distance, it was not yet far enough to threaten the two forces of the Soviet Red Army.  Of course, the situation is likely to change in the next few days as to the security of the flanks of the main army group of the Southern Front. Therefore, the task before the Volga Front is still quite arduous.  .

    "It seems that the situation on the southern front is temporarily stable. Let's solve the problem on the northern front first. Do you have any opinions on Karl Ivanovich's style of play just now? Although artillery training and training is not a short-term effort,  But the previous telegram from Moscow also said that no later than tomorrow afternoon, Moscow will be able to transport 30 artillery batteries of cannon!

    So our firepower on the northern front will be greatly strengthened. In this case, it is not unimaginable to counterattack and recapture Cheboksary!  The key is to use your troops quickly!  The front army headquarters must make a decision as soon as possible.  "Voroshilov was obviously a little impatient.

    "Kliment Yefremovich, in fact, although the strength of the White Guards on the northern front is probably insufficient, or there are only five divisions, our two armies in Nizhny Novgorod have just been replenished and are resting and reorganizing.  It¡¯s hard to say, in this case, should we attack in an all-out manner or send three divisions to push forward along the railway line? If the enemy has five divisions to defend Cheboksary, it will be very difficult for us to regain the lost ground with only three divisions.  !¡±

    The commander of the Fifth Army, Sergey Sergeevich, mused that although the first wave of attacks was still a few divisions of the Third Army, the two armies had far from enough time to rest and recuperate. Although the artillery was said to be ready tomorrow.  It could be transported here, but the gunners, the animals and carriages that pulled the cannons, and even the shells had not yet arrived. At this time, they rushed out based only on the intelligence that Kolchak was leading the main force south. Kamenev, who had been on the battlefield for a long time, felt a little bit inside.  Virtual panic.

    Voroshilov glanced at Kamenev, and here Chernavin, the chief of staff of the front army, had already rushed to say, "The so-called military is fast, and the war is to be surprised. The White Guards actually killed us with their empty city strategy.  Well, if the other side really only has one brigade blocking our Kostvo, we don¡¯t fight back, let alone ourselves. Even a Red Army soldier cannot agree, not to mention that Moscow is still looking at us, waiting for us to report a new battle plan.  !¡±

    "Having said that, Vladimir Nikolayevich, what is the basis for our counterattack? Is it the intelligence reported by the Volga Federation? If Kolchak's main force started moving south a day ago, why did the Volga Federation arrive?  I only thought of telling us about Kolchak¡¯s movements this afternoon, and what if the news is false?

    The troops in the south were so frightened by the unwarranted enemy that they did not dare to act rashly, while the main group army in the north was advancing impatiently. What would happen if they fell into the trap of Kolchak's main force?  Another breakout?  Who will defend Nizhny Novgorod?  "Sergey Sergeyevich Kamenev retorted, not wanting to be outdone.

    Chernavin was speechless for a moment, his face flushed red, and he was so angry that he could not speak. However, Voroshilov was touched by Kamenev's words. Although he did not think that Moscow's intelligence was wrong, but  Water has no shape, and soldiers have no power. What if Kolchak even deceived the Volga Federation's aerial reconnaissance?

    What if Kolchak¡¯s move south was a false shot, and the troops attacking Kostvo were just a bait to lure the enemy, and Kolchak¡¯s main force was ambushed somewhere south of the railway line?  Voroshilov's face became serious. Obviously, things may not be as simple as he thought before. If there is an emergency and the Volga Front really messes up a good show, he, the former enemy commander, will have no choice but to leave.  The blame!

    The words of the commander of the Fifth Army obviously not only hit Voroshilov's heart, but Berzin and Mezheninov, the partners of the Soviet Third Army, also fell silent. Here, Shaposh, the chief of staff of the Fifth Army  Nikov couldn't help but said,

    "I agree with Sergey Sergeyevich's opinion. It is possible for Kolchak to deceive us and the Volga Federation at the same time with a false shot. This is worthy of our serious and calm thinking. To advance westward and capture the  Novgorod is the main purpose of Kolchak's main force sending troops from Kazan. To attack our flanks in the south? I don't see the necessity. Firstly, we can retreat inland, and secondly, we still have the Tenth in the south  With the two main armies, Kolchak does not have an overwhelming advantage in strength!"

    Shaposhnikov's words were like a heavy hammer, hitting the hearts of Voroshilov, Chernavin, Berzin and Mezheninov again. As for Lyubimov, the political commissar of the Fifth Army,  , but at this time, he was deep in thought and did not speak. The shock in his heart was, Damn, what are these direct generals from Moscow in the north?He is not a fuel-efficient lamp. This Shaposhnikov looks inconspicuous, but he still treats the chief of staff of the group army as serious and dignified, and he is not ambiguous when he expresses his opinions.

    "Karl Ivanovich, what do your Third Army think of the opinions of the two commanders of the Fifth Army?" Kamenev, the political commissar of the front army, saw that the atmosphere in the conference room had dropped to freezing point, so he stood up and handed the ball to Bel.  Jin, it is the Third Army that carries the heavy burden. You, the commander, are the chief military officer. It is not enough to cover your head and act like an ostrich buried in the sand.

    Hearing this, Berzin frowned and remained silent. In his opinion, what Kamenev said of the Fifth Army was certainly possible, but could Kolchak be so skilled in military use?  Tossing hundreds of thousands of troops back and forth within a range of several hundred kilometers, and the food that consumes the soldiers' physical strength is a problem in all aspects. This guy frowned and thought for a long time. When he saw everyone in the conference room staring at him and waiting for an answer, he finally said,

    "Speaking of the unpredictable situation of the army, we lack the means of aerial reconnaissance, and the ground reconnaissance lacks the means of timely feedback. Moreover, the enemy is really difficult to deal with in terms of physical and mental strength. I think we should really be prepared for both. That is  Kolchak could either take the main force to Saransk to attack our 1st Army and the Budyonny Cavalry Army, or he could feint and fire a carbine and eat up our troops who counterattacked from Nizhny Novgorod.  ! Both possibilities exist!¡±

    Berzin frowned, but what he said was the truth. Everyone here was quite frustrated after hearing this. Obviously, when things have developed to this point, the Soviet Volga Front is really quite passive.
