    Of course, by this time Yegorov had been captured and chose to be loyal to the Volga Federation. I heard that he still became the commander of the group army. However, after Sergin was transferred back to Moscow, he became the deputy commander-in-chief of the armed forces in name only. In fact, he was completely  The honorary title of Commander-in-Chief is nothing more than an honorary title. If he wants to lead troops to fight alone again, he will probably have to wait for the next life.

    Gidis' temperament is quite cautious and low-key. When he served as the chief of staff of the front army, he was a master who only expressed his ideas but did not express his opinions. This was also the basis for him to gain the friendship of Voroshilov and Yegorov at the same time.  When Joseph controlled the military and political power of Tsaritsyn, he only regarded Gidis as a submissive yes-man. However, when Trotsky rushed to the south several times in an armored train to command operations, he still had an impression of Gidis who was responsible for accompanying him.  Pretty good.

    Voroshilov was promoted to the Volga Front Headquarters and was nominally the deputy commander of the front. However, because the military district and front commander Sverdlov's work in the Soviet Central Committee in Moscow was very important and heavy, he could not leave at all.  He went down to the front line to personally command the front operations, so Voroshilov gave up his position as commander of the 10th Army precisely because he would actually be responsible for commanding the operations of the entire Volga Front with the title of deputy commander and second political commissar of the front army.  .

    The 10th Army that remained after Voroshilov was promoted, this main force of the original Southern Front with 7 infantry divisions, was handed over to Gidis. Of course, Voroshilov was not worried.  Gidis's commanding ability and military ability, as well as his loyalty, are watched by his fellow Ukrainian Klyuyev, the political commissar, so Gidis will not mess around.

    No matter what, we are all comrades who fought side by side in Tsaritsyn, right?  Although there has been no news about Comrade Joseph, the old leader, former Central Committee member, and a Georgian shoemaker, it is rumored that he is still under house arrest somewhere outside Moscow to reflect on his mistakes and reflect on his mistakes.

    "The political commissar is right, Comrade Commander, Budyonny's cavalry corps is still one day away from us. Even if they join the defense, by then we will have 7 infantry divisions plus one cavalry corps, facing the opponent's 6 infantry divisions plus 2  The cavalry division has no obvious advantage in strength.

    Moreover, the other side is the main force of the Kazan White Guards, and not long after we arrived here from Tsaritsyn after traveling nearly a thousand miles, the Volga Federation used some nonsense excuse of "demilitarized buffer zone" to move from Teqiushi, Xin  Cities like Birsk have been driven to such a useless place. The troops are demoralized and exhausted. This battle is not going to be easy to fight!  "

    The speaker was the newly promoted chief of staff of the Soviet 10th Army, former commander of the 1st Tsaritsyn Iron Infantry Division, Dmitry Grigorievich Pavlov, who had followed Comrade Joseph into Moscow in a show of glory.  The Tsaritsyn Garrison Division was properly handled by Sverdlov and Kamenev. After the incident of the 1st Iron Infantry Division at the Moscow University, the 1st Iron Infantry Division was left in Moscow and was renamed the 1st Guards Rifle Division.  , directly under the command of the Supreme Military Council of Soviet Russia.

    The young division commander Dmitry Grigorievich Pavlov was promoted to the chief of staff of the group army by the front line, along with his former division political commissar Dzhugashvili and two brigade commanders Gore.  Borman and Graglev rushed to Simbirsk to take office. From this point, it can be seen that Moscow has become proficient in playing the role of overt and covert drinking to release military power. Of course, in name, Pavlov was assigned to the group army.  Further training in the commander's position for future use.

    Fortunately, the new group army commander Gidis was very understanding and handed over the position of commander of the 1st Kameshin Infantry Division of the group army to Pavlov, the chief of staff of the group army. Dzhugashvili, Gorberman and  Graglev still served as the division political commissar and brigade commander, while the former division commander political commissar of the 1st Kameshin Infantry Division assumed the position of commander of the newly expanded 42nd Infantry Division on the way north.

    At this time, the Soviet 10th Army had a total of 7 infantry divisions on its 50-kilometer defense line west of Buyinsk-Simbisk, namely the 1st Kamishin Infantry Division, the 37th Infantry Division, and the 37th Infantry Division.  38th Division, 39th Division, 40th Division, 41st Division and 42nd Division.

    "Dmitri Grigorievich, do you still think we should withdraw to the south?" Gidis knew that this young chief of staff was a fickle person in the position of commander of the main division of the 10th Army.  When the leader of the battle led the 1st Tsaritsyn Steel Division to escort Sergin and Joseph into Moscow, they were stunned when they were surrounded by three Moscow worker garrison divisions and refused to surrender and take a step back. In the end, Ulyanov and  Sverdlov came forward in the name of the Soviet Central Committee and the Supreme Military Council to appease and gather the 1st Iron Infantry Division.

    Therefore, Gidis certainly did not think that the young chief of staff of the group army and commander of the 1st Kameshin Infantry Division would be timid. In the past two days, the orders of the front headquarters in Nizhny Novgorod changed day by day. First, he asked  The 10th Army sent three divisions north to contain and attract Kolchak's main force southward, reducing the pressure on the northern line of Nizhny Novosibirsk.Pressure on the Gorod line.

    Then the 10th Army was required to strictly abide by the restrictions of the 50-kilometer non-military buffer zone on the left bank of the Volga River designated by the Volga Federation, withdraw the troops from the Tetyushy-Simbirsk line along the coast, establish a defense line in Buyinsk and west, and wait  The 8th Army in Syzran in the south moved north to fill the gap in the flank of the 10th Army, and at the same time prepared to meet the troops of Tukhachevsky's 1st Army and the Budyonny Cavalry Corps moving east from Saransk.

    Comrade Voroshilov obviously wanted to use the main force of the former Southern Front Army to win a beautiful victory on the southern front, especially when the Berzin 3rd Army of the former Eastern Front system made a big splash in the Cheboksary Iron Triangle defense operation.  After the brilliance severely damaged Kolchak's main force, as the former enemy commander-in-chief of the front army from Tsaritsyn, it was time for his direct troops to show their skills, both in public and private life, otherwise the limelight would belong to the Eastern Front Army.  The 3rd Army was snatched away, and the two polished commanders Voroshilov and Chernavin in Nizhny Novgorod felt bad.

    If Pavlov, the chief of staff, chooses to stay in Moscow and lead the 1st Iron Infantry Division, it is certainly not impossible. At least Sverdlov is protecting him and no one dares to touch the 1st Infantry Division, but of course Pavlov would rather  He returned to the 10th Army and performed meritorious service in killing enemies on the front line. After staying in captivity in Moscow for a long time, he was afraid that he would lose his will and just hang out as a division commander in the future.
