The reason why the former commander of the Front Army, Sverdlov, hurried back to Moscow was to think of a way with Chicherin and Dzerzhinsky. A cannon from an artillery company!For Voroshilov, the deputy commander of the front army and the former commander-in-chief of the enemy, this battle was full of confidence and must be won!

According to his judgment, Kolchak must have concentrated his main force to attack westward, and there was no reason to disperse his forces to the countryside in the southwest. Erchak's main force shot a feint in the north, but instead of going west, they went south and directly copied the rear of the Tenth Army. What should we do?

"Vladimir Nikolaevich said that it is entirely possible. Why do we think that Kolchak's main force will go west instead of south? Knowing that we are in Cheboksary and Nizhny Novgorod It is a strong fortified fortress and a big city, so he must fly to the flames to go to Novgorod?"

"Well, even if you are right, the Kolchak regime must first conquer Nizhny Novgorod in order to conquer Moscow, and it must first conquer Nizhny Novgorod in order to seize the heavy industry base and arsenal, but , my dear Kliment Efremovich, do you think that Kolchak is blind, he doesn’t know how to go south and eat up our Tenth Army in one bite, and then continue westward after removing all worries?”

"Why do you think that Kolchak can just sit back and watch the main force of our two armies with 12 people stay on his flanks and rear, foolishly ignoring the rear and rushing directly to the west? Kolchak's main force is 20 If people go south, the 8 divisions of the Tenth Army will definitely be able to stop it?" Kamenev was deeply moved, and a series of questions made Voroshilov a little dazed. ** 1xs

Could it be that his judgment was wrong, Kolchak would really go south to clear the threat of the Tenth Army before continuing west?Voroshilov frowned and dragged his chin in silence. Here, Cherna and Kamenev looked at each other. Obviously, the deputy commander of the front army, who was originally confident and slow, was a little uncertain about this. up?

Voroshilov thought about it for a while, shook his head lightly, and murmured, "Kolchak doesn't have much food, and his ammunition and ammunition reserves are also stretched. He should concentrate on going west or south. There are only roads and no railways, so it is inconvenient to transport troops, and the section of the Volga River is in the hands of our Volga River Fleet, so it is impossible for him to transport by river..."

"Furthermore, if his main force goes south...we don't have to fight him head-on, Chief of Staff. I think as long as he goes south, we will retreat in a big way, from the Simbirsk line to Syzran, the same as heading south. You can lure the snake out of the hole. As long as we hold him in the south, the Fifth Army and the Third Army in the north will counterattack eastward. He will probably suffer worse than the West. Our Eighth and Tenth Army has 12 people. It’s okay to hold a front line!”

As Voroshilov said, his eyes lit up, and he walked quickly to the map and carefully looked at the terrain west of Syzran, and drew a red line between Syzran and Kuznetsk in the west, heavily After clicking, he turned his head and said loudly to Kamenev and Chernavin,

"At that time, the Eighth and Tenth Armies will retreat here to build a line of defense with the railway behind them. From Kazan southward to Syzran for about 300 kilometers, there are only roads and rivers, and the Volga River is in our hands. There is no north-south railway on the left bank. If Kolchak's main force goes south, I can't wait for it. The 300 kilometers alone can drag down his troops, and we can move from Moscow to Syzran along the railway. This battle is easier than in Nizhny Novgorod!"

Speaking of which, Voroshilov walked back and forth in the conference room excitedly with his hands behind his back, while Kamenev and Chernavin leaned together in front of the map and looked at it for a long time, feeling that Voroshilov said It made sense, the two of them didn't speak for a while, watching Voroshilov walking around.

As the deputy commander of the front army walked, he was still muttering to himself, should the decisive battle of Novgorod be fought in the north, or should the decisive battle be fought in Syzran in the south?How can we attract Kolchak's main force to the south!

"Chief of staff, look, how about we just ask Gydes' Tenth Army to attack northward, beat Kolchak by surprise, and then retreat southward, maybe we can get the opponent out of here Lead the north to the south!" Voroshilov's tone was very serious, obviously not joking.

At this time, Kamenev really couldn't figure out Voroshilov's thinking. He has talked about how to go south and north. Let alone, Voroshilov's idea is not without basis What nonsense, speaking of it, Kamenev still prefers to choose this style of play that attracts Kolchak's main force to go south. In the mind of this Soviet Russian central committee member and front army military commissar, Kolchak's troops are every hour away from Moscow. Pushing forward, he felt that the responsibilities and burdens on his shoulders were even heavier.

"Kliment Yefremovich, it's not impossible to let Gydis' Tenth Army attack northward, I'm afraid they are all infantry divisions, and they will be outflanked by Kolchak's Cossack cavalry division. If you bite, it will be too late to withdraw, and you will directly fight the opponent face to face in the north of Simbirsk.

In this way, we not only lost the opportunity to mobilize the other party, but let Kolchak rely on Kazan's support and logistical support to deal with our Tenth Army with more fights and less. "

The words of Chernavin, Chief of Staff of the Front Army, poured over Voroshilov's head like a basin of cold water, which greatly disappointed the deputy commander and former enemy commander-in-chief 1,!

1918年7月22ri12:05下诺夫哥罗德苏俄伏尔加河方面军司令部

Voroshilov, the deputy commander of the Volga Front Army of the Soviet Union and the former commander-in-chief of the enemy, finally made a decision to order the 3th Army of Gidis to be deployed on the Simbirsk line on the left bank of the Volga River, responsible for the defense of the southern line of the Battle of Kazan. At least [-] divisions were sent to move northward, threatening the flank of Kolchak's main force who had already begun to cross the river.

The task of the Tenth Army is to attack the main force of the Kazan White Guards who broke through the Soviet Russian Third Army's line of defense on the south bank of the Kazan Volga River. Casualties, the third is that they can withdraw to the south at any time.

Before that, Chernavin, Chief of Staff of the Front Army, was still worried that Gidis's Tenth Army was an infantry division. If they were trapped by Kolchak's Cossack cavalry division and could not retreat, they would suffer a big loss.Kamenev, on the other hand, supported the plan for a decisive battle on the southern front. The position of the military commissar of the Front Army was simple. The farther Kolchak's main force was from Moscow, the farther away the White Guards would be from victory, and the longer the battle would be dragged on. , Kolchak's chances of victory become slimmer.

"Vladimir Nikolaevich, I support Kliment Yefremovich's idea, let's send a telegram to the Tenth Army headquarters in Gidis, asking them to go north quickly, from The flanks severely hit Kolchak's main force for crossing the river. Since the enemy in the direction of Kazan crossed the river in a 120-kilometer-wide river bank area in three ways, it would be impossible for Kolchak's Eastern Route Army in the direction of Kazan to die. 10 people!"

"I would suggest that the Tenth Army only send two divisions, which is too weak. At least four divisions should be sent north. This will not only hurt Kolchak, but also prevent him from being surrounded and eaten by the opponent because of his weak strength. If we only If we send two divisions, maybe Kolchak will ignore it, and just send a small force to hold us back, and the large force will catch up and clean up the third army that is retreating westward first!"

Kamenev just lacked battlefield command experience. In fact, the military commissioner of the front army was definitely not slow to change his mind. Voroshilov's attention.
