Beiyang 1917

"What happened to the 1st Army in Sarask and Budyonny's Cavalry Army? A few days ago, it was said that many of the Soviet prisoners of war we released and repatriated were too hungry to come back?" Jiang Hongyu stood aside. asked.

"That's true. There are almost thousands of Soviet deserters who came back from the west. Your Excellency Pepe basically never refuses anyone. Most of them were incorporated into the Samara Army, and a small number were placed in the logistics engineering force to repair bridges and pave roads! "Qian Tianfu smiled and glanced at the Prime Minister of the Federal Cabinet.replied.

"Hey, this is the instruction of the Commander-in-Chief. The Volga Federation welcomes the Soviet Russian prisoners of war who have lost their way. At this moment, there is only my army near Samara. If we don't organize it to supplement the Samara Army, why should we send it to the south? Is Caucasus going to be a porter for Admiral Wu? Or go to the west to be a groom for His Excellency Utsunomiya? I’m afraid that the waste of money will chill the hearts of everyone.” Pepelyaev said anxiously.

"Speaking of Saransk, it has been confirmed that Tukhachevsky took Xia Boyang and Fumanov back thousands of miles, and has been re-appointed as the commander of the Soviet Russian 1st Army. Everyone knows that we have no control over the border. Not strictly speaking, it is easy for ordinary people to come and go between the Soviet Union and our side. After investigation, Tukhachevsky actually slipped there disguised as a cavalry patrol from the Volga Federation, and he did not know which army’s camp Steal it!" When Qian Tianfu said this, his face turned slightly red.

"It doesn't matter if you run back, if you really want to be picked up by wolves in the Ural Mountains, it will be boring if we lose an opponent in the future. Besides, Your Excellency Pepe, maybe Tukhachevsky will still have a chance to play for the Volga Federation. With him around, Kolchak might not be able to swallow the 1st Army in Saransk easily!" Wang Geng waved his hand lightly.

"At present, Tukhachevsky's 1st Army is still resting and reorganizing in the Saransk area. There is also Budyonny's cavalry army nearby. The cluster will be very difficult, we judge that the Soviet Red Army in Saransk may retreat to the southeast and move closer to the Tenth Army!" Qian Tianfu pointed to the map.

"In terms of aerial reconnaissance, is there any sign of Kolchak's western group going north again?" Wang Geng pondered for a while, raised his eyes and looked at Qian Tianfu.

"I don't see it at the moment, because whether it is the Soviet Red Army or the White Guards in Kazan on the northern line, they rely on the railway line to attack and defend back and forth, and Kolchak will turn back to the Yadlin line at this moment. How close is Lask, not to mention that although the cavalry troops are highly mobile, they can’t keep up with the speed of the train, so we judge that Kolchak is likely to continue going south, aiming at Sarask!”

Qian Tianfu used red and blue pencils to draw an arrow from Shumelya down to Alatli, and then from Alatli to Sarask in the southwest, and clicked the road on the map.

"We judge that Kolchak's first goal is to occupy Ararat. The location of Ararat is quite critical. From Ararat to the southwest, he can walk 120 kilometers to Saransk, threatening the Soviet 1st Army and the Bronze Army. The Joni Cavalry Army, heading southeast, can go straight to Simbirsk to copy the rear of the Soviet Russian Tenth Army, and the distance is only 120 kilometers.”

"Kolchak can even go directly to the east, cooperate with the East Group of the White Guards in Hastings in the north, and encircle the main force of the Tenth Army west of Buinsk from the flanks. It looks far above the Tenth Army of Russia. I think it is unrealistic for the Soviet Union to defend the Buinsk line. It is likely to be forced to retreat to Simbirsk, but it is now part of our designated demilitarized zone. , the situation will only get complicated by then!"

Jiang Hongyu, chief of staff of the coalition army, said on the side, obviously, as the chief of staff, Jiang's battlefield awareness is still very keen, and he can see the third possibility of the main force of the Kolchakxi cluster from the map at a glance.

"The chief of staff is right, there is indeed such a possibility, but if Kolchak has a bigger appetite, we analyze that he will not easily go east to disturb the Soviet Russian Tenth Army, but will go straight to the southeast and outflank the Soviet Union. The rear of the Russian Tenth Army, so cutting off the enemy's rear will be more effective, and it can form a fatal blow to the Tenth Army of the Soviet Russian Red Army.

If it went directly to the east, Gides and his Tenth Army would probably be scared and retreat all the way south! "Qian Tianfu obviously put forward a different view.

"Counselor Qian, your analysis in the war room makes sense, it depends on how big Kolchak's appetite is, but I think that if Kolchak goes southeast from Ararat to copy the rear route of the Tenth Army of the Soviet Union, go The road will be farther.

And if it doesn't cooperate well with the Hastings East Group on the northern line, in case the Tenth Army of Gidis moves to the southwest, and the Eighth Army of Soviet Russia goes northward from Syzran to Kuznetsov In addition, if the 1st Army of Saransk and the Budyonny Cavalry Army move eastward, Kolchak's Western Group is in danger of being encircled by the three Soviet and Russian troops! "

Jiang Hongyu got excited, got up and walked forward, took the red and blue pencils from Qian Tianfu, and drew three arrows on the battle map nailed to the shelf, from Sarask, west of Syzran and Simbirsk pointed to the middle, which happened to be the position of the arrow drawn by Qian Tianfu before Kolchak's movement to the southeast.

Pepelyaev obviously didn't expect that both Qian Tianfu and Jiang Hongyu were so sincere, and what they said had their own reasons. The guy slapped his head in frustration, and said to Wang Geng, "Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, how about you I don’t think the Bolsheviks can find such useful staff officers as Chief of Staff Jiang and Director Qian. Otherwise, don’t be the Prime Minister of the Cabinet. I will come to your war room as a staff officer. How about learning and improving with the two of them?"

This fellow Pepe is a genius, Wang Geng, Jiang Hongyu, and Qian Tianfu were all very happy to hear this compliment, and burst out laughing. The commander-in-chief of the coalition army smiled and nodded to Pepeliaev and said,

"Hey, Vasily Nikolaevich, I told you, don't give them two bewitched, otherwise the Chief of Staff of Jiang would have said that Lieutenant Colonel Qian might really be taken away by your bewitching , In fact, what we can imagine, Voroshilov and Kolchak may not have imagined, this world is full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers, not just our small coalition headquarters! Don't be arrogant!"
