    The only thing worthy of praise among these four Nizhny Novgorod workers' divisions is their morale. However, under the situation of food shortage throughout Soviet Russia, they lost relief and supplies from Tsaritsyn and the grain-producing areas of the lower Volga River.  Nizhny Novgorod, as an important town on the eastern front of Soviet Russia and the most important heavy industry city at the moment, the food shortage and hunger at the moment made the old and young soldiers of the Workers' Division even have the illusion that they were fighting for the troops who were better than ordinary people.  The workers had to add 1oo grams of brown bread to the worker division!

    Although Sergey Sergeyevich Kamenev was the commander of the Fifth Army, he was unable to fulfill his previous plan to form five combat-effective infantry divisions. The reason was that the front army headquarters did not accept the return of Tsarist Russia  The prisoners of war lacked sufficient understanding and trust in their ideological state. They believed that the formation of the Fifth Army must maintain working class and Bolshevik elements within each infantry division. Between the combat effectiveness of a unit and whether a unit is reliable enough, the commander of the front army  The ministry obviously chose the latter.

    Another reason is that the Berzin Third Army, which suffered heavy losses in a bloody battle with Kolchak's main force in the Iron Triangle of Cheboksary Tsivilisk and Alexandrovna, was given priority to replenish troops and weapons.  The privilege of equipment, and Karl Ivanovich Berzin obviously also looked down upon the four Nizhny Novgorod Workers' Division, old and young, and this guy also set his sights on 40,000 Tsarist Russian prisoners of war.

    If you want to talk about ginger, don¡¯t you have to count the old ones?  The 39-year-old Ka.I. Berzin and the 38-year-old Se. Se. Kamenev, who were old partners in the Third Army, were still separated over the 40,000 Tsarist Russian prisoners of war. Berzin¡¯s hand  The trump card here is that both Moscow and the Front Army Headquarters promised that his Third Army would have priority in receiving additional supplies of troops, weapons, equipment, ammunition, and munitions.

    Sergei Kamenev insisted that before Berzin's Third Army withdrew from Cheboksary, 40,000 Tsarist Russian prisoners of war had agreed to be used by the Fifth Army for reorganization, and he had already set up a  The airs of the five divisions have been eliminated, and the five divisions have begun to take shape. How can Berzin come back and make a bold move?  If the Third Army wants to replenish its troops, it should choose from the four workers' divisions in Nizhny Novgorod or simply the three workers' garrison divisions from Moscow.

    Finally, under the mediation of the deputy commander of the Front Army Volo"" Shilov, the reorganization and supplementary plan of the 3rd and 5th Army Groups was adjusted to 40,000 Tsarist Russian prisoners of war, each group army would be divided into half and 4 under  The two Novgorod workers' divisions also had half of them per man, but the garrison division from Moscow took advantage of the Fifth Army. Sergei Kamenev got 2 of the 3 garrison divisions.

    In the end, everything finally settled. Sergei Kamenev's Fifth Army used the 27th Infantry Division, 20,000 Tsarist Russian prisoners of war, 20,000 workers division and two Moscow garrison divisions to form 7 infantry divisions.  It can be regarded as setting up a group army. In terms of weapons, there is almost enough rifles for each person, but there is still a shortage of weapons. Each person is only allocated fifty. As for cannons and machine guns, they are far from enough.

    The 7 infantry divisions of the Soviet Fifth Army were organized, but they could only muster 3 artillery companies and 2 heavy machine gun battalions. Fortunately, Voroshilov allocated 3 anti-aircraft artillery battalions to Gamini at that time.  Husband, otherwise, the firepower of Sergei Kamenev's troops would not be enough.

    In contrast, Karl Ivanovich Berzin's Third Army was in much better shape. This guy directly captured 20,000 Tsarist Russian prisoners of war and 20,000 workers." Beiyang 1917 Chapter 749 (1)  There is nothing to hesitate." The soldiers and 1 Moscow garrison division supplemented their original seven infantry divisions, and the combat effectiveness was restored to 7788. Although it is not as good as the original version, this starting point is better than Kamenev's fifth  The army group is much taller.

    Now the commander of the 3rd Army, Berzin Yong, is shouldering the heavy responsibility and suggests that the Front Army Headquarters send the 7 main divisions of the 3rd Army south by train. If everything goes well, they will be able to reach the Kuznetsov line at noon tomorrow. Of course, the 3o train will still be available.  Find a way to free up the locomotives and wagons that can be mobilized in an emergency near Nizhny Novgorod. The total can be more than 20 trains. The remaining parts will have to be transferred from Moscow, but you will have to ask Tukhachevs in Saransk.  Ki cleared the Cossack cavalry brigade near the railway line and repaired the damaged railway as soon as possible.

    "I agree with Comrade Berzin's suggestion. The 3rd Army is the main force on the northern front. Only when Comrade Berzin leads the main force to fight south can it play the role of the mainstay and the needle in the sea!" Shaposhnikov, chief of staff of the 5th Army, stood up to support  Berzin's idea was that since the 5th Army was not mobilized to go south, then everything was easy to say. How could we not add some fuel to the fire at this time?  This young chief of staff of the group army was obviously the same as his commander. "Beiyang 1917" did not think that the 5th Army could rush into battle and take the train 500 kilometers to the south to fight Kolchak for a decisive battle.

    "Berzin's 3rd Army only has 7 divisions, plus the remaining 9 divisions of the 10th and 8th Army Gidis on the southern front, 16 divisions have to deal with the main force of the enemy's 14 divisions, and there is no military strength.  Obviously"Advantage, and our troops moving southward have been continuously transported for nearly 500 kilometers. The troops must be exhausted, the local food is scarce, and the combat effectiveness of the entire army will decline. Half of the enemy's main force is cavalry, and their mobility and combat effectiveness are not weak" The front army  Chief of Staff and Commander of the 8th Army Vladimir Nikolayevich Chernavin still looked worried.

    "Nizhny Novgorod's troops can no longer be mobilized! If the enemy takes advantage of the situation and Nizhny Novgorod is lost, the Volga Military District and the Front Army will become nothing more than duckweeds! As the most powerful force east of Moscow,  It is an important barrier and heavy industrial base. Defending Nizhny Novgorod is the biggest political priority and the biggest foundation!" Lev. Borisovich Kamenev, the political commissar of the front army, slammed the table and shouted at the top of his voice.

    As a member of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China who was released from Moscow to serve as the political commissar of the Volga Military District and Front Army, for Le. B. Kamenev, Nizhny Novgorod was the last base and lifeline of the Military District and Front Army, and there was absolutely no room for failure.  , but if Berzin had previously proposed that the 3rd Army stay in Nizhny Novgorod and let the 5th Army go south to reinforce the 10th and 8th Army, he, as the political commissar of the front army, would veto it immediately.

    "The equipment, firepower and combat effectiveness of the 5th Army are not as good as those of the 3rd Army. It seems to have the strength of 7 divisions. The real combat effectiveness is only barely 5 divisions. It's amazing. Nizhny Novgorod is so  It's a big city. If the number of troops is reduced, the city defense will be exposed in all directions and cannot be defended!
