Beiyang 1917

"Can't we take advantage of the opportunity and let the cavalry detachment take Yadrin?" Chernawin, the chief of staff of the front army, said a little unwillingly. . .

"No, unless Yadlin is also an empty city plan, but this possibility is very small. Fighting along the railway line guarded by armored train patrol guards, cavalry troops will definitely not take advantage, and I guess the enemy will focus on Yadlin as Cheboksa Ray's bridgehead to reinforce and defend!" Berzin said without hesitation.

"Then, how about letting Xia Tenke's cavalry continue to penetrate eastward, all the way to the back of Yadlin, and find an opportunity to cut off the opponent's railway line?" Chernavin came up with another idea unwillingly.

"It still doesn't work. I believe the enemy has even figured out that our cavalry detachment is only a force of 9 battalions. At best, it is a reinforced regiment. If I were Kolchak, I would just guard the railway line and ignore it at all." You, and once the opponent uses the cavalry division to surround it, it is hard to say whether Comrade Yefim Afanasyevich will still have the good luck he had in Buzuluk. You must know that he led a brigade of cavalry to break through the encirclement. The allied forces of the Allied Powers caught up with only a cavalry regiment, so they were still beaten and fled!"

Berzin continued to shake his head unceremoniously, apparently he and Chernavin couldn't pee in the same jug.

"You can't say that, Karl Ivanovich, you have never seen the firepower of the Allied Forces. The firepower of a regiment of the other side is definitely more than that of the White Guards and one of our divisions. Even if both sides are cavalry, we will There is no chance to compete with the opponent, and the Nagaland semi-automatic riding rifle can fire eight bullets in one breath. With this little effort, our Mosin Nagan riding rifle is enough to pull the bolt a few times?" Chernavin obviously I was a little angry, and I was in a hurry to distinguish.

Berzin snorted through his nose, didn't say anything, clapped his hands and returned to his seat, waiting for Voroshilov to give an order. As for the Chief of Staff of the Front Army, Chernavin, he didn't bother to answer.

Cherna's face was flushed with warmth, and he was a little at a loss for a while. The political commissar of the Front Army, Kamenev, came out to smooth things over, "Karl Ivanovich, pay attention to proportion, it's almost enough. Unity is the responsibility of the Volga Military Region and the Front Army." The most urgent thing is to listen to the orders of Kliment Efremovich on behalf of the headquarters of the front army and the headquarters of the former enemy!"

Voroshilov glanced at Chernawin and Berzin, obviously in a bad mood, and waved his hand, "Then it's decided, Berzin's Third Army will counterattack with three divisions, but enough is enough. , to avoid dispatching too far to the east, and was killed by Kolchak. The goal of the counterattack was to annihilate the enemies south of Kestovo Town and recover Reskovo. The posture of the army to counterattack Cheboksary”

"While counterattacking, the rest of the Fifth Army and the Third Army took the time to reorganize and rest. The reconstruction of the artillery unit is the top priority. At the same time, adjust the combat goal of Xia Jianke's cavalry detachment and change it to cover South of Yadrin, counterattack the flanks of the troops, and cast a net for reconnaissance, trying to find the traces of Kolchak's main force going north as soon as possible!"

"Comrade Deputy Commander, what about the south? What about the 1st Army in Sarask and Budyonny's Cavalry Army? What about the flanks of the Tenth Army and Eighth Army?" Shaposhnikov, chief of staff of the Fifth Army, reluctantly Can't stop asking.

"For the south, order the Tenth Army to concentrate its main force to the west of Buinsk to establish a defense line, and at the same time transfer the Eighth Army to go north to fill the gap between Saransk and Buinsk. As for the 1st Army and Budyonny's cavalry army, Tell them to strengthen the reconnaissance and defense on the northern front, and at the same time seize the time to reorganize and reorganize. If the situation changes unfavorably, they can abandon Saransk and move closer to the southeast. As long as they join the Tenth and Eighth Army, Kolchak's troops Absolutely not enough to pose a fatal threat to them!"

Voroshilov cut through the mess quickly, and at this moment he finally sorted out all the clues of the one-night meeting. This ability also made the front army headquarters and the chief officers of the two army groups in the combat conference room There is nothing to say, the next battle plan of the Volga Front Army has been decided in this way, and it has been reported to Moscow as soon as it notified the armies!

As for what happens next, we can only wait and see!Voroshilov thought to himself when the meeting was adjourned.

"The current situation on the northern front is like this. After we provided the Soviet Russian government with information on the movement of the second batch of Kolchak White Guards in the name of the Volga Federation yesterday, the Soviet Russian Volga Front Army in Nizhny Novgorod clearly A counterattack was deployed. In Kostovo, the 2nd Infantry Division attacked from the front, while the 30th Infantry Division boarded at the Oka River Ferry in the urban area, followed the White Guards' rear route along the Volga River, and the 4th Infantry Division followed the Detour to the south of Kostovo!"

Qian Tianfu, Director of the War Room of the Allied Forces Headquarters, pointed to the map hanging at one end of the small meeting. Here, Wang Geng sat on the chair in the middle, lit the cigar in his hand, and signaled Qian Tianfu to continue. The only ones were Volga Federation Prime Minister Pepelyaev, the coalition chief of staff and logistics commander Jiang Hongyu, and a few others.

"It must be said that the performance of Kolchak's Kazan White Guards this time is remarkable. Kolchak only left the 1st, 2nd and 3rd Kazan Infantry Divisions plus a supplementary division on the northern front, and 5000 civilian husbands, the division commander of the 1st Kazan Infantry Division was promoted to lieutenant general and served as the commander of the Cheboksary Northern Group.

And the commander of the 3rd Division in Kazan, that guy named Dubrovsky, led the 3rd Division all the way to Kostovo. The two armies of the Red Army were still blocked by Dubrovsky's troops in Nizhny Novgorod and dared not move! "Qian Tianfu said with a smile.

"Director Qian, the Soviet Red Army's counterattack only used three infantry divisions? Are they all troops from Berzin's Third Army? Could it be that these guys don't trust our intelligence? Or do they think that as long as three divisions are used? Can you fight all the way back to recover Cheboksary?" Pepelyaev asked rather puzzled.

"Vassily Nikolaevich, if you just counterattack the White Guard troops that Dubrovsky sang an empty city plan to attack Kostovo, three divisions are more than enough. The Soviet Red Army got it from the Germans. The anti-aircraft artillery battalion was assigned to the infantry division, which greatly strengthened their front-line infantry firepower. Fortunately, Berzin's third army was weakened a lot after the Cheboksary defensive battle. Although its strength was supplemented, The time for the troops to rest is far from enough.
