    At 10:00 on July 28, 1918, the former enemy headquarters of the Southwest Front and East Route Army of the Kamensk-Shakhtinsky Allied Forces

    In the Ukrainian campaign plan initially formulated by the Allied Powers, the Eastern Route Army consisted of the main force of the 12th Division of Lieutenant General Shibagoro of the Japanese Third Army, and the divisional armored regiment attached to the Chinese 20th Division of the Allied Forces. Lieutenant General Yegorov  An infantry division of the Tsaritsyn Group Army is also assigned to fight.

    The former enemy commander-in-chief of the East Route Army of the Southwest Front was Lieutenant General Shibagoro, commander of the 12th Division, Colonel Seishiro Itagaki served as the chief of staff, Lieutenant General Yegorov served as the deputy commander and deputy chief of staff, and the first echelon of the East Route Army front line  There are also more than 40,000 people. Lieutenant General Yegorov leads the remaining two infantry divisions of the Tsaritsyn Group Army as reserves to station on the Tsaritsyn front line.

    According to the original plan, in the Ukrainian campaign, the mission of the Eastern Route Army was to move eastward from Kamensk Shakhtinsky, the starting point of the campaign, one to two days after the start of the Central Route Army battle, and take the first step to capture Lugan.  Sk, the second step was to capture Debalchev in the southwest. Then the troops divided into two groups and continued to march southwest to capture Donetsk. Then they went south to Mariupol on the seaside, and then swept across the coast of the Sea of ??Azov.  , take Berdyansk, and the other road goes directly west, with the goal of Dnipropetrovsk.

    According to the war game in the war room of the Allied Forces Headquarters, the task of the Eastern Route Army of the Southwest Front is complex and arduous, because it was an area where the Don River Cossack White Guards and Ukrainian forces penetrated each other, and the terrain is relatively complex and the area is large. Therefore,  Whether the Eastern Route Army can perform well is a huge challenge for Japan's 12th Division Commander Shibagoro and Chief of Staff Seishiro Itagaki.

    However, as Wu Peifu's Southern Front quickly launched the Southern Campaign, and after the entire Don River and North Caucasus Autonomous Republics declared allegiance to the Volga Federation under the leadership of Denikin, the flanks of the Eastern Route Army of the Southwest Front that implemented the Eastern Front offensive plan for the Ukrainian Campaign  It suddenly became clear that the Don River in the south and the North Caucasus had suddenly turned from hostile forces into their own rear area, which made Chief of Staff Seishiro Itagaki use his brain.

    "Your Excellency, Division Commander, everyone, I think we should divide our forces into two groups, instead of just attacking from Kamensk-Shakhtinsky. The Don River in the south and the North Caucasus are already under Denikin.  Under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, we actively joined the Volga Federation. Although it will take some time to completely pacify and control the entire North Caucasus, with General Wu and Denikin in the south, our flanks have no worries!¡±

    Colonel Seishiro Sakagaki, Chief of Staff of the Eastern Route Army of the Southwest Front, stood in front of the map and pointed with the red and blue pencil in his hand at Rostov-on-Don and Novochersk, Schacht and Novosekhtinsk in the north and drew a  Circle, then said,

    "We can also assemble a team in Novoshakhtinsk along this route, and attack in two directions together with the troops in Kamensk. In this way, the opponent will lose sight of one thing and lose the other, and it will be difficult to defend. The Donets coalfield will be at your fingertips. If we attack  Well, while the center army was still surrounding Kharkov, we had quickly captured Luhansk and Donetsk, and our troops were heading towards Dnipropetrovsk!¡±

    Colonel Itagaki was obviously very interested. He had been weighing this idea in his mind for a few days. With the main force of the Eastern Route Army gathering at Shakhtinsky in Kamensk, he felt that it would be too late if he didn't mention it!

    "Your Excellency Colonel, Novashakhtinsk is just a coal mining town, and it belongs to the Don River and the North Caucasus Autonomous Republic. It is the defense area of ??General Wu's Southern Front and Denikin. Is it okay for us to enter without authorization? Is this possible?  Affect the relationship between the Allied Allied Forces Southwest Front and Southern Front?" Yegorov, deputy commander and deputy chief of staff of the Eastern Route Army, spoke.

    In Yegorov's view, the newly established Southwestern Front Army within the Allied Powers is dominated by the Japanese army, while the Southern Front is dominated by the Volga Federal Army. Together with the Central Front Army, which is dominated by the Central Front, it seems that a new force within the Allied Powers has been formed.  The three major hills are similar to the Soviet Union's Southern Front Army in Tsaritsyn and the Eastern Front Army directly commanded by Moscow in the north. If they directly mobilize and attack across defense zones, the problems involved are not as simple as imagined.

    Although Alexander Ilyich Yegorov is only 35 years old, as a former military expert in the Soviet Southern Front Army, he has risen to the high position of commander of the main group army. This guy has a very strong ability to read people's hearts and is very good at it.  Maintaining a good relationship with his superiors, both Joseph, a member of the Central Committee of the Soviet Union, and Trotsky, Chairman of the Supreme Military Council of the Soviet Union, regarded Yegorov as one of the young generals born in Tsarist Russia who was both infinitely loyal to the Soviet Union and truly able to lead.  The master of war.

    Naturally, at this time, whether it is Comrade Joseph, the former Tsaritsyn and the head of the Southern Front who was under house arrest in Moscow after leaving power, or Trotsky, who still has a huge say and influence in the Central Committee and the Supreme Military Council of Soviet Russia,  They were all ashamed to admit that they had misjudged Yegoro.?.

    The former twin constellations of the Soviet Red Army, the Eastern Front in the north was Mikhail Nikolayevich Tukhachevsky, and the Southern Front in the south was Alexander Ilyich Yegorov.  At this moment, only Tukhachevsky, who had gone through all kinds of hardships to escape to the left bank of the Volga River and returned to his post as commander of the Soviet 1st Army in Saransk, was left alone.

    Yegorov, the former pride of the Southern Front, and his deputy Stepin became traitors and criminals of Soviet Russia. This also added another crime to the many mistakes of former Soviet Central Committee member Comrade Joseph: negligence in employment.  .

    Of course, the blame for this oversight can only be temporarily pinned on the dead tiger Comrade Joseph Dzhugashvili, but no one dares to say that Trotsky, Chairman of the Supreme Military Council of the Soviet Union, was also responsible for the appointment of Yegorov.  Inescapable responsibility.

    In fact, for the Central Committee of Soviet Russia, all this shame seems to have been inadvertently downplayed and blown away. The Central Committee of Soviet Russia now reveals intentionally or unintentionally that the Volga Federation is a friendly country, and the Kolchak gang in Kazan is the last resort.  The slogan of a vicious enemy.

    Since the Volga Federation is a friendly country, the former high-ranking Soviet Red Army generals who defected to the friendly country can only be regarded as deserters with different ambitions. Besides, being traitors would not give the Volga Federation face, especially after the two sides reached an exchange for the Tsar's family.  deal, and the Volga Federation defaults to selling oil to Moscow.
