    The attitude of the political commissar of the front army was obviously very firm, and the conference room fell silent for a while. Comrade political commissar spoke and struck the match in his hand. He held the match with slightly trembling hands and lit the freshly rolled Mohe cigarette.  high

    "Karl Ivanovich, although we are seven main divisions, the troops were severely weakened in the Iron Triangle Defense Battle of Cheboksary. Although the personnel and equipment have been replenished and restored, the troops'  Morale and combat effectiveness are still much lower than before. I think the concerns of the Chief of Staff of the Front Army are justified. If France gains an advantage and victory on the southern front after our 7 divisions move south, then the situation on the left bank of the Volga River will then be  It¡¯s really difficult to get ventilation from all sides.¡±

    One of Berzin¡¯s deputies and Chief of Staff of the 3rd Army, Sergey Alexander Mezheninov, stood up and spoke at this time.

    In Mezheninov's view, an expedition with troops has never been the best way to fight, and the Soviet Red Army did not have much room for maneuver on the southern front. It started 50 kilometers north of Saratov in the south and ended at Kurdish in the west.  Sksk is now part of the territory of the Volga Federation." The main force of the Soviet Red Army moved away from the northern line to fight in the south. If everything goes well, that's it. If the enemy's cavalry forces cut off railway transportation and the battle situation becomes passive, it will be equivalent to an external attack.  the risk is great!

    "Hmm Although the advantage in terms of strength is not great, if we add the Budyonny Cavalry Army, we have concentrated the 3rd, 8th, and 10th Group Armies on the southern front plus the Budyonny Cavalry Army, that is 18  With the strength of one division, there is still great hope to deal with the main force of Kolchak's 14 divisions, not to mention our artillery fire should have a lot of advantages! Of course, it will be difficult to completely wipe out the opponent. After all, half of their main force is Cossack cavalry!  Master, if you can't defeat us, Kolchak will always escape!"

    Berzin held his chin up and looked at the map while answering his deputy's questions.

    As a general of the former Eastern Front of the Soviet Red Army, he certainly knew that according to his style of fighting for the decisive battle on the southern front, it was a desperate approach of concentrating all the existing main army groups on the Volga River in Soviet Russia. In other words, he could only  You can't win but you can't lose, and you're very passive even if you're in a stalemate

    " "Because the Soviet Red Army's northern line is empty, and the opponent's main force is highly mobile, it is now unexpectedly using the trains on the railway line to transport troops southward. This kind of thing can only be done once and for all.  If high-mobility attacks are carried out to destroy the railway line, the Soviet Red Army's heavy southern line group, which is mainly infantry, will lose the ability to mobilize freely. It will not be a good thing to follow the opponent's cavalry and eat ashes and run exhausted!

    The meeting fell into silence for a while. The commander of the 5th Army, Sergey Kamenev, the Political Commissar Lyubimov, and the Chief of Staff Shaposhnikov were light-hearted and relied on the 7 divisions of the 5th Army to hold Nizhny Novgoro.  They still have enough confidence in Germany, but they can leave their hometown by train and go south to participate in the decisive battle with the White Guards. This is definitely not the way out for a group army established like the 5th Army. One-third of the troops are returned from Germany.  Of the Tsarist Russian prisoners of war, one-third were from the Moscow Garrison Division, and the other third were from the Nizhny Novgorod Workers' Division.

    Apart from anything else, when it comes to getting on the train and leaving Nizhny Novgorod to go south, the ideological work of these soldiers from the workers' division may not be possible. They were recruited. "Beiyang 1917 Chapter 749 (Two South Side)  "What to do with the land?" The propaganda slogan when recruiting people to join the Soviet Red Army was to defend their hometown, defend Nizhny Novgorod, and defend Moscow! If they leave Nizhny Novgorod and leave Nizhny Novgorod alone, cover their heads and get on the train,  With so many young and old, how to maintain military morale is a problem.

    "How about simply abandoning the southern front How about using trains to withdraw the 10th and 8th Army to the northern front? Ryubyonny's cavalry army is cruising in the south to hold off the enemy. We concentrate our forces on the northern front and take Kazan in one fell swoop.  ! Let¡¯s see if Kolchak will come back!¡± Voroshilov, the front deputy commander and second political commissar and former enemy commander, who had been pacing in the conference room with his eyebrows furrowed, said suddenly.

    Voroshilov's unexpected suggestion to simply abandon the southern front battlefield and withdraw the 10th and 8th armies of the original southern front army to the northern front suddenly shocked everyone. Front Army Chief of Staff Cherner  Wen was the first to jump up and cheer. Although this guy was also the commander of the 8th Army, the two main armies of the 8th and 10th Army were alone in the south. He and Voroshilov were in Novgorod.  De is a lonely and polished commander.

    There are no soldiers under his command, and even the words "Beiyang 1917" are not harsh. Now Novgorod is simply the territory and world of Moscow and the former Eastern Front generals. Although Voroshilov and Chernavin are the deputy commanders of the front,  , the 2nd political commissar and former enemy commander-in-chief, one is the chief of staff of the front army, but almost no one takes his words seriously. Berzin of the 3rd Army was originally a arrogant and unruly leader, and now Xie of the 5th Army  After Sergei Kamenev had 7 infantry divisions in his hands, he felt confident enough to speak.Come.

    On the contrary, Voroshilov and Chernavin, the two former giants of the Soviet Union's Southern Front, felt a little aggrieved with their unrealized ambitions and lack of weight in speaking on someone else's territory in Novgorod.

    "I agree with Comrade Voroshilov's suggestion. Rather than risk Comrade Berzin's 3rd Army going south for reinforcements, it is better to let Gidis and Lasevich lead the 10th and 8th Army to retreat all the way south to Kurdistan.  After being near Snetsov, we got on the train and retreated directly to the north along the Kuznetsov-Penza-Saransk-Arzamas-Nizhny Novgorod railway line, so that we could concentrate all the main forces of the front.  As the main force of Kolchak's White Guard army in terms of military strength and firepower, the situation came to life!"

    The words of Chernavin, the Chief of Staff of the Front Army, were sonorous and powerful. In order to strengthen the tone, the guy even clenched his fists, waved them and shouted.

    Here Berzin, Sergei Kamenev and several deputies of the group army looked at each other. Obviously, they could not digest the final plan proposed by Voroshilov for a while. This was too much in contrast to the reinforcements sent south.  Of course, whether it is Berzin or Sergei Kamenev, as generals from the former Eastern Front of the Soviet Red Army, if it is said that they can solve the problem without the painstaking expedition south.  Given the current predicament, why not

    "Is this good? But what about the land to the south?"
