Beiyang 1917

"Karl Ivanovich, what are you arguing about? The Front Army Command can't even tell you to come back for an emergency military meeting? Do you still have organizational discipline in your eyes?" Kamenev, the political commissar of the Front Army, looked at Bier angrily. relish.

"However, Lev Borisovich, my Comrade Political Commissar, I am commanding at the front. The 2nd Ural Infantry Division is facing the attack of Kolchak's three main divisions. There are at least two armored trains on the other side. Well, there are no less than 4 artillery companies. I am organizing a defense line at the headquarters of the 2nd Division to prepare for a counterattack after dark. What can’t be said on the phone? If you have to call me back from a long distance, it’s a meeting, Chief of Staff Meyer Can't Ninov represent the Third Army?"

Although Berzin was puzzled, he refused to admit defeat. In his opinion, the tentative attack and defense in Kostovo Town was just a prelude to the defense of Nizhny Novgorod. The Kebai Guards could do some more tricks, and as far as Berzin himself was concerned, he hoped to launch a partial counterattack on the two wings at night, grab a few tongues and come back to fully understand the situation of the attacker.

I was rolling up my sleeves and planning to beat Kolchak for a while, but suddenly I was called back from a long distance like this, everyone would get angry!

"Karl Ivanovich, the Front Army Command has just received an urgent telegram from Moscow. Kolchak's main force has moved south from Cheboksary, and its whereabouts are unknown. The enemy remaining in Cheboksary will not exceed Five divisions, maybe only three divisions! Tell me, how can the enemy opposite Kostovo town have as many as three divisions?!" Front Army Chief of Staff Chernavin patted the telegram on the table angrily draft!

"What? Where did the information come from? This is crazy!" Berzin was shocked when he heard this, and couldn't believe his ears. He turned to look at his chief of staff and the generals of the Fifth Army, and found that everyone He was not surprised, but his brows were frowned in a daze. Obviously, he had known the contents of Moscow's emergency telegram before.

Without thinking about it, Berzin stepped forward and snatched the draft of the telegram that Chernavin was picking up, and hastily unfolded it, only to see that it read:

To Nizhny Novgorod

Volga Military District and Front Command

Deputy Commander Voroshilov, Military Commissar Kamenev, Chief of Staff Chernavin

Moscow has just received battlefield reconnaissance information from the Volga Federation. The main force of the Kolchak White Guards is going south in two directions. The whereabouts and purpose are unknown. The enemy staying in Cheboksary has no more than five divisions. The Erchak gang is likely to be brewing a huge conspiracy. Its main force gave up attacking Nizhny Novgorod and turned to the south. The goal is likely to target the First Army and the Budyonny Cavalry Army who are resting and replenishing in Sarask . . .

Of course, it does not rule out the enemy's attempt to attack the flanks of the [-]th and [-]th Army with a feint shot. Moscow requires the Volga Front Army to ascertain the deployment and configuration of the enemy's troops as soon as possible, confirm the accuracy of the above information, and send Immediately notify the First, Eighth, and Tenth Army Groups and the Budyonny Cavalry Army to strengthen their guard.

At the same time, the Volga Front Army Command should come up with a corresponding combat plan as soon as possible and report it to Moscow. Kolchak is a very cunning and dangerous enemy. I hope that all units of the Volga Front Army will be vigilant, learn lessons, and avoid If you are confused by the enemy's feints, you must ensure accuracy and timeliness in battlefield reconnaissance.

You need to find out the situation before midnight and come up with a new combat plan, we are waiting here!

Another: After emergency diplomatic mediation and consultation, the Russian artillery purchased from 30 German artillery batteries will arrive in Moscow tomorrow morning, and will arrive in Nizhny Novgorod in the afternoon tomorrow to be assigned to the third and fifth teams. The artillery of the remaining 20 artillery companies will also enter the country the day after tomorrow. We plan to transfer them directly to Saransk by train, where the 1st Army and the Budyonny Cavalry Army are in urgent need of artillery equipment and arming.

The situation is complex, changeable and extremely urgent. All commanders and soldiers of the Volga Military District and the Front Army must unite around the central yang of Moscow and the Volga Military District and the Revolutionary Military Committee of the Front Army. Crush the attack of the Kolchak gang.

Victory belongs to the glorious Soviet Red Army, victory belongs to the Soviets!Moscow is watching you!

"The situation is clear? Karl Ivanovich, comrades, we have worked so hard to prepare for a battle to defend Nizhny Novgorod, turning Nizhny Novgorod into the next Tsaritsyn, That's good, Kolchak's main force has gone south, and its whereabouts are unknown! What kind of problem is this? What are the defenders and scouts on the front line doing?" Fu Luo, deputy commander of the front army and former commander-in-chief of the enemy Shirov's face was livid, and he couldn't help but slapped the table!

After reading this telegram, no matter how arrogant and arrogant Comrade Karl Ivanovich Berzin was, he knew that he was probably deceived and deceived by Kolchak's White Guard's feint. He felt that the performance of the White Guards in front of him was a bit strange and stern, but the self-esteem of the commander of the Third Army made him unwilling to accept that this might be a real reality.

The guy couldn't help but slapped the telegram draft in his hand on the table, and shouted in the same way,

"Kliment Yefremovich, after the Third Army retreated from Cheboksary, the local Soviets and local armed forces were responsible for delaying the enemy in the 220-kilometer section from Cheboksary to Nizhny Novgorod, There are also various reconnaissance units directly commanded by the Front Army Headquarters, and my Third Army is not the only one on the front line!" Berzin's words were obviously not light on gunpowder.

"I agree with this, Comrade Deputy Commander. After our Third Army retreated from Cheboksary, it was the reconnaissance unit commanded by the Front Army Command that was responsible for monitoring the enemy. The information fed back from the front never said that Kolchak was found. The main force turned around and headed south, why should the troops be divided into two groups!" Mezhninov, the chief of staff of the Third Army, interjected from the side.

In Mezhninov's view, the intelligence transferred from Moscow is likely to be true, but the responsibility for failing to observe the enemy's situation in person must not be entirely blamed on the Third Army. It can only be said that Kolchak is too cunning, or that, After the Soviet Red Army retreated, the reconnaissance units were frightened by the enemy's offensive, and they ran away at any sign of trouble. In addition, the commander of the White Guard who stayed behind in Cheboksary was surprisingly bold.
