Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The person who took the lead was naturally Voroshilov, the deputy commander of the front army and the second political commissar. Following him closely was Chernavin, the chief of staff of the front army and commander of the Soviet 8th Army.

    Of course, Gidis and Rashevich, who were fighting with Kolchak's main force far away on the southern front, were also old men of the Southern Front. There was also the brave and capable cavalry commander Budyonny, the former Southern Front army commander Budyonny.  Semyon Mikhailovich Budyonny, commander of the Nepalese Cavalry Division, was a heroic example set by the Soviet Red Army in the Battle of Ufa, and became the commander of the first cavalry corps of the Volga Front and the military commissar of the front.  , the deputy commander of the front army Kliment Yefremovich Voroshilov personally served as the military commissar of the 1st Cavalry Corps.

    "Vladimir Nikolayevich, Comrade Chief of Staff, I don't understand what you mean. Those who rushed into the demilitarized zone on the left bank of the Volga River were two Cossack cavalry divisions of the Kolchak gang. The Soviet Red Army  But not a single soldier arbitrarily pursued that bullshit non-military buffer zone. In the face of the Volga Federation¡¯s ultimatum-like warning, it should be Kolchak¡¯s two cavalry divisions who should be the unlucky ones. Why is the situation reversed?¡±  Is it serious? Aren¡¯t the front forces and Moscow hoping that the Volga Federation and Kolchak¡¯s troops will start a dog-eat-dog fight? "

    The person who spoke was Kamenev, the political commissar of the front army. This guy was holding a cigarette and burning it so hard that his fingers were burned without even realizing it. Although the factory stopped producing domestic cigarettes and the supply of domestic cigarettes was cut off, he was pretty good at rolling his own cigarettes with Mohe tobacco.  Everyone in the headquarters is good at a few pipes. Of course, not everyone has the powerful beard on the upper lip of the political commissar of the front army.

    Next to Kamenev, Berzin, the commander of the Soviet 3rd Army, stared at the cigarette without saying a word. His chief of staff, Sergey Alexander Mezheninov, and the young chief of staff of the 5th Army, Bao  Reiss Mikhailovich Shaposhnikov was discussing something in a low voice, while Sergei Sergeyevich Kamenev, commander of the Soviet 5th Army, and his political commissar Ni  Gula Alexeevich Lyubimov was discussing something with his head next to his.

    The main commanders of the Soviet Volga Front Army Headquarters, except for the commander Sverdlov who was far away in Moscow and the political commissar of the 3rd Group Shatenko who was leading the cavalry detachment on the cruise, the rest of the big guys were all present.  An emergency meeting was held by the Front Army Headquarters, focusing on discussing the situation on the southern front battlefield.

    Of course, for the generals of the 3rd and 5th Group Armies who came from the Soviet Eastern Front, the suffering of the 8th and 10th Group Armies on the southern front did not make these northern Red Army generals too much.  Nervous, of course, the mood of the two generals who came from the Soviet Southern Front, Voroshilov and Chief of Staff Chernavin, was completely different. One was the founder and founder of the 10th Group Army, and the other is now  He also serves as the commander of the 8th Army.

    Therefore, when Kamenev, the political commissar of the front army, asked in confusion, Voroshilov had already pounded the table hard and said angrily, "Comrade political commissar, the situation is indeed very serious Kolchak will never follow  In the case of an armed conflict between the Volga Federation or the Allied Powers, Moscow and we are actually wishful thinking"

    Kamenev was a little confused and said dissatisfied, "Kliment Yefremovich, it's almost midnight. If you have something to say to the Chief of Staff, it's best to just say it and stop playing charades with everyone." Beiyang  1917 Chapter 747 (The decisive battle on the Second Southern Front is about to begin. "Why did the situation on our Southern Front become more serious when the Volga Federation gave Kolchak an ultimatum?!"

    Before Voroshilov and Chernavin had time to speak, Shaposhnikov, the chief of staff of the Soviet 5th Army, had already muttered frankly, "No need to ask, Comrade Political Commissar, Kolchak took over.  After the Volga Federation's ultimatum, we certainly didn't dare to take the risk of letting the two Cossack cavalry divisions that sneak-attacked our 8th Army headquarters continue to stay in the demilitarized buffer zone. They had to stay far away from each other to the south and north, and the time was short.  It may not be too late!¡±

    Here, the Chief of Staff of the 3rd Army, Mezheninov, said, "The matter is clear, comrades, I agree with Boris Mikhailovich. Kolchak will definitely not dare to destroy the Volga."  The federal ultimatum is a piece of cake, and the retreat to the north and south is far away and within the non-military buffer zone, soKolchak will definitely take the risk and order the two Cossack Cavalry Divisions, yes, the Cossack Cavalry Division.  The 4th Division and the 5th Division will turn around and fight back to the defense areas of our 10th and 8th Army Groups. They may also plan to use a central-flowering strategy. Before 6 o'clock tomorrow morning, they will probably do this to the "Beiyang 1917" side.  !¡±

    "What would Kolchak do? Use two exhausted cavalry divisions to get into the pockets surrounded by nine infantry divisions of our 10th and 8th Group Army? Isn't that just right, a side dish delivered to your door?  Gidis and Rashevich reported and ordered them to prepare to encircle the two opposing cavalry divisions in order to completely annihilate their opponents and create a basis for the 8th Army.Chief of Staff Comrade Latysky and the fallen comrades of the 12th Infantry Division take revenge!  "

    Lieutenant-General Kamenev, the political commissar of the Front Army, slapped the table, stood up and shouted, now he does not look like a central committee member of the Soviet Union and a pen-writing intellectual, but he has the heroic aura of the Political Commissar of the Front Army, holding a pistol and leading a charge. Of course,  This guy is a bit sleepy due to lack of oxygen tonight, and his brain is a bit unable to keep up with the subordinates in the headquarters.

    "Comrade Political Commissar, what everyone is saying is that Kolchak does not dare to fight against the Volga Federation, so he can only turn around and let the two cavalry divisions turn back to the west and fight back to the defense lines of Gidis and Lashevich.  It is not impossible for 9 divisions to surround two other divisions and beat them up or even annihilate them completely. However, the strength of the troops on the southern front is that the enemy is strong and we are weak at the moment. Jiji"" Si and the others defeated the remaining 9 divisions.  Kolchak's main force surrounding them on both sides has at least 5 cavalry divisions and 7 infantry divisions. This adds up to 12 divisions, plus the 2 cavalry divisions in the non-military buffer zone"

    Before the words of Sergei Kamenev, commander of the 5th Army, had finished, Karl Ivanovich Berzin, the commander of the 3rd Army, who had been keeping his head silent and silent, had already raised his head and said,

    "I agree with everyone's judgment. After 6 o'clock tomorrow morning, the decisive battle between Kolchak and us on the southern front will begin. The strength ratio of the two sides is 14:9, and at least half of the other side is cavalry. Their mobility and combat effectiveness are absolutely  On top of our infantry division!
