    It is equivalent to an undefended area, and Kolchak's cavalry troops are likely to cut the northwest and southeast of Soviet Russia into two pieces like a red-hot knife cutting butter. If Kolchak's cavalry troops bypass from the south  What about Nizhny Novgorod and heading straight to the hinterland south of Moscow?  Except for Russian farmers who are dissatisfied with the surplus grain collection system and wartime doctrine, there is no main force of the Soviet Red Army there. By then, it is likely that Kolchak will turn everything upside down.

    Instead of doing this, it would be better to close Kolchak's main force in Nizhny Novgorod, Sarasko, and Simbirsk. This can protect the heartland of Soviet Russia to the greatest extent without losing the lower reaches of the Volga River.  After the Tsaritsyn area, the Soviets could not easily give up more land and population, and Kolchak was by no means so easy to deal with. The Volga Front transferred the main force of the southern front eastward, which may have fallen into the trap of the White Guards.

    Tukhachevsky even sent a separate telegram to Kamenev, the political commissar of the Front Army in Nizhny Novgorod. In addition to pointing out the above problems, he also hinted that his troops needed more time and  Only with more reliable comrades can we restore and maintain combat effectiveness, and even if we have to retreat, the 1st Army, which originated from the Eastern Front, will trek 150 kilometers along the kilometer to join the two armies of the Eastern and Southern Fronts and the Budyonni Cavalry Army.

    It is better to take a train north to Nizhny Novgorod and meet up with the 3rd and 5th Army Groups. The cadres and soldiers of both sides are all from the former Soviet Eastern Front. They have enough trust in each other and can easily cooperate in combat, and Tukhache  Tukhachevsky repeatedly emphasized that the current state of the 1st Group Army was definitely not suitable for going into battle immediately and starting the battle. The front army headquarters should carefully consider how to use the 1st Group Army, and Tukhachevsky's idea was:

    Mobilize your own 1st Army to move north along the railway line to Nizhny Novgorod, take over the important task of defending Nizhny Novgorod from the 3rd and 5th Army, and move the reorganized and replenished Berzin's 3rd Army to Nizhny Novgorod.  The 3rd Army and Sergey Sergeyevich Kamenev's 5th Army gathered together and marched eastward along the railway line to recapture Cheboksary in one fell swoop, forcing Kolchak's main force to turn back and head north.  The 10th and 8th armies will follow again, so that they will have the opportunity to start a decisive battle with Kolchak near Cheboksary, striving to eliminate this dangerous and terrible enemy once and for all!

    It must be said that Tukhachevsky's suggestion was a step up. He used correct analytical conclusions and operational suggestions to cover up his inner unwillingness to become a vassal and follower of the 10th and 8th Group Armies. Of course,  In order to show that he is not afraid of death and fear of the enemy, he also said that if the front army headquarters deems it necessary, he can lead the 1st Army to guard Saransk. If it cannot be stopped, he can break it into pieces and disperse the troops into  A small force held Kolchak near Saransk.

    But in the face of the Kolchaksi cluster with nearly 60,000 men from 5 cavalry divisions, even Tukhachevsky himself could not say that the 1st Army, which was demoralized and short of food and ammunition, could hold Saransk.  Letter, but his gesture has been made, but it depends on how the front headquarters in Moscow and Nizhny Novgorod consider and decide.

    Tukhachevsky decided that even if he could not hold Saransk and had to retreat, he would rather take the train north to Nizhny Novgorod to join the 3rd and 5th Army, or go south to Penza, and then go to  Nanke is the territory of the Volga Federation. If Voroshilov really does not give him a way out and forces himself to leave Saransk and retreat eastward, Tukhachevsky is even ready to take his troops to the territory of the Volga Federation to hide.  Cat's mental preparation.

    July 29, 1918 8:10? Nizhny Novgorod Soviet Volga Front Headquarters

    "What is Tukhachevsky doing? The front headquarters repeatedly urged him to lead the 1st Army to the east, follow the Budyonny Cavalry Army to move closer to Gidis' 10th Army, and at the same time cover the Buinsk defense line.  On the flank, why is he still lingering on Saransk and continuing to stand still? Is the order from the front army headquarters a child's play? "

    The speaker was Vladimir Nikolayevich Chernavin, Chief of Staff of the Soviet Volga Front. Although this guy was promoted to the leader of the front, he still served as the commander of the 8th Army on the Sezran front line.  I am a member of the Communist Party of China, so I still feel quite confident when I speak.

    "Vladimir Nikolayevich, Comrade Chief of Staff, you have also read the telegram from Saransk. The 1st Army is currently short of food and ammunition. Three soldiers only have two rifles and few bullets.  Unfortunately, Mikhail Nikolayevich Tukhachevsky¡¯s team probably won¡¯t be able to go anywhere until they receive supplies of food and ammunition!¡± The answer was Lieutenant Colonel, political commissar of the Volga Military District and Front Army, and member of the Central Committee.  Husband Borisovich Kamenev.

    "This is an excuse, an excuse, and it is by no means a reason to disobey the orders of the front army headquarters. Tukhachevsky is playing with fire. To say that there is a severe shortage of food and ammunition, Budyonny's cavalry is?Isn¡¯t it the same?

    But Semyon Mikhailovich Budyonny led his glorious cavalry army to leave Saransk one day ago and head east. In one day on the road, they can reach the flank of the 10th Army's defense line, and Tukhache  What is the nature of the problem that Vsky is vacillating to the right, engaging in small sects and mountainous doctrine, hiding in Saransk and refusing to go east?

    This is a good opportunity to ruin the decisive battle on the southern front!  This is irresponsible and criminal against the Soviets!  "Voroshilov, deputy commander of the front army and former enemy commander-in-chief, slapped the table angrily and shouted.

    "Klement Yefremovich, please pay attention to the tone of your words. This is the war room of the Front Army Headquarters, not your kitchen in Tsaritsyn's house. We do not engage in a one-talk meeting, let alone suppress democracy, Deputy  Comrade Commander, although you are the commander-in-chief of the former enemy, the front army is the unit under the collective responsibility of the Frontline Revolutionary Military Committee. I think the difficulties and countermeasures proposed in Mikhail Nikolayevich¡¯s telegram may not be feasible!¡±  Kamenev said obviously a little angry.

    "How is it possible? It was discussed and decided by our front army headquarters to move the 1st Army and the Cavalry Army to the east to join the 10th and 8th Army. Now Budyonny has led the Cavalry Army to the east without saying a word. He wants to  Are there any difficulties that Khachevsky cannot overcome, so that the 1st Army cannot move forward in Saransk?

    After the reorganization of the 1st Army, although it claimed to have the strength of 5 infantry divisions, it was actually not full of troops. The total strength was just over 40,000. It remained in Saransk, which was the 60,000 cavalry of the Western Group given to Kolchak for free.  The side dishes that were served, can¡¯t you see this?  "Voroshilov's chest was heaving and his face was blue and white. He obviously didn't take the political commissar of the front army seriously.
