    "Your Excellency, Division Commander, I think the morale of our Tsaritsyn Group Army can be used. Since the main force of General Wu's Southern Front has moved south to the Don River and the North Caucasus Autonomous Republic, the south of Tsaritsyn is now calm and there is no danger. My two  The infantry division can be used for front-line operations, instead of being placed far behind Tsaritsin to bask in the sun!" Yegorov turned and asked directly to the former enemy commander Shiba Goro.

    As for where the attack will go, Yegorov thinks it is not a big problem. He has warned everything that should be reminded. Perhaps the Volga Federation is in the ascendant, and there are conflicts between the autonomous republics and states below, and between the front armies and the front armies.  They are really close to each other, like a family. As for the offensive route, since Rostov-on-Don is already a federal territory and territory, attacking from Novoshakhtinsk may not be a bad choice, and even the Eastern Route Army  The idea of ??concentrating all the main forces in Novoshakhtinsk to attack was better than the enemy.

    "Well, it is certainly a good thing to have high morale, but if you don't have mobile troops and reserves, you will be too busy to fight a war. Don't worry about it now. Lieutenant General, there will be battles, and sooner or later there will be battles.  Your two divisions have a chance to go into battle!" Chai Wulang reassured Yegorov noncommittally, but as for the two old Maozi commanders, he didn't care.

    Inza became anxious when he saw this and couldn't help but said, "Your Excellency, Division Commander, Your Excellency, Chief of Staff, follow Colonel Itagaki's strategy of dividing the troops to attack. As long as we divide our troops, our troops on the front line will not have an advantage.  In addition, the terrain is unfamiliar and the geological conditions of the Donets coalfield are complex. If we do not strengthen our front-line troops, even if we attack from Novoshakhtinsk to Debalchev, we will easily be defeated by the enemy from Donets.  If the two sides of Kremlin and Luhansk attack, we will be in trouble!"

    When Shibagoro heard this, his eyes lit up. It was obvious that the federal infantry division commander still had something in his stomach. The division commander turned around and asked Itagaki,

    "Itagaki-kun, how do you answer this question? If you divide the troops, you will be weak. The opponent has six divisions divided into two groups. One side is guarding Lugansk and the other side is guarding Donetsk. If you divide the troops, each division will only have one brigade plus one.  A federal brigade can deal with three enemy divisions, including two divisions of the Ukrainian National Army, but the combat effectiveness of a German infantry division cannot be underestimated. How are you going to fight? "

    Itagaki Seishiro was stunned for a moment, and then said,

    "Your Excellency, Division Commander, the General Staff Headquarters plans to use the 12th Cavalry Regiment of the 12th Division and the Division Armored Regiment of the Chinese 20th Division to form a mobile force and insert it to the south to launch an attack from Novoshakhtinsk. Major General Morioka's  The 12th Infantry Brigade took the lead and still attacked from Kamensk. Lieutenant General Yegorov's 16th Infantry Division followed closely. Major General Isomura's 24th Infantry Brigade served as a reserve team to follow the former enemy headquarters. "Board -  Yuan's plan is still an effective routine. The troops attacking in separate routes on the southern front are regarded as flanking troops, and the emphasis is on mobility.

    As soon as this plan came out, there was a lot of talk in the conference room. Yegorov thought to himself, this Ban-yuan's fighting style is quite satisfactory. The main force of the Eastern Route Army launched a frontal attack on the northern front to attract the opponent's attention.  Using cavalry and armored troops to bypass the opponent's retreat is a better strategy with limited troops.

    Just when many people nodded frequently and thought they approved of Itagaki Seishiro's style of play, unexpectedly the commander of the 24th Infantry Brigade, Isomura, stood up again and said,

    "Chief of Staff Itagaki, with your arrangement, there will naturally be no problem with the main force on the northern front. Our two brigades plus a federal infantry division can defeat the opponent's two Ukrainian National Army infantry divisions and a German reserve infantry division. There will be no problem.  "

    "But the cavalry and armored troops you arranged on the southern front only total more than 7,000 people. If the three enemy divisions in Donetsk attack, how can the outflanking troops resist it? Do you use cavalry and armored troops to defend the trenches? The strength ratio  At least 5:1. How do you want them to fight this battle? In my opinion, leave the armored forces to the main force on the northern front, and I will lead the 24th Infantry Brigade and the Cavalry Regiment to attack on the southern front.  It will take down three of the opponent¡¯s divisions, but it will definitely not be a problem for me to hold them back!¡±

    After saying this, everyone started talking a lot. Many people felt that Isomura Brigade Commander¡¯s method of dividing the troops was quite sound!  On the northern front, there is the 12th Infantry Brigade, a federal division, and a Chinese armored regiment. If they fight the three divisions on the opposite side, they should be able to gain the upper hand. On the southern front, although the troops are smaller, they have one brigade, one cavalry regiment, and a posture of 16,000 people.  , it is still possible to block the opponent's three divisions!  It is more reliable than using 7,000 cavalry and armored troops to block it!

    "Isomura-kun, who said that cavalry and armored forces cannot stand on their own? My 12th Cavalry Regiment plus the armored regiment of the Central Army, even if three enemy divisions from Donetsk pounced on them, they could still defeat them.  Shit!

    Everyone, everyoneDon¡¯t forget, Major General Hata Shunroku led the 4th Cavalry Regiment north of Kumertau and annihilated an entire 31st Infantry Division of the Soviet 1st Group Army!  An armored regiment of the Chinese Armored Mixed Brigade, with the help of aviation, even annihilated two infantry divisions of the Soviet Red Army in retreat. Since the 4th Cavalry Regiment can do it, my 12th Cavalry Regiment can also do it!  "The speaker was Colonel Matsuki Naoryo, captain of the 12th Cavalry Regiment of the 12th Japanese Division.
