Beiyang 1917

"Everyone, you see, if we only attack from one side according to the original plan, then our attack route will draw a long arc, and the enemy can resist and delay our offensive step by step along the way, because this belongs to Donets Coalfields are full of railway branches and coal mines, our battle here will be quite complicated, and the enemy's retreat may destroy the coalfields and railways and hinder our advance!" Ita-Gaki Seishiro's tone was a little dignified.

In fact, the Ukrainian campaign has not been able to achieve complete secrecy from the very beginning. It is difficult to conceal the large-scale march of troops from east to west. Second, whether it is Saratov-Vorone Ri, Kursk Oblast, and Tsaritsyn are all newly occupied areas that have just been included in the territory of the Volga Federation. Although the pro-Soviet people and Bolsheviks followed the Soviet Red Army and the Soviet local government to withdraw to the north of Soviet Russia There are quite a few, but the people who stay are still a mixed bag, and it is inevitable that many ordinary people are related to Ukraine.

In addition, the intelligence and reconnaissance skills of the Germans are definitely not inferior to those of the Allied Forces. The reconnaissance planes of the two sides are playing hide-and-seek all day long. The planes slipped over and wandered along the border almost every now and then.

In recent days, with the transfer of several flying wings of the coalition air force, the 4th flying wing of the Luftwaffe in Ukraine has gradually fallen into a passive defensive posture. Before the launch of the campaign, it is necessary to avoid exposing the strength and deployment of the coalition air force, and the number of flying squadrons and aircraft that are launched to perform patrol alert missions at the same time should not exceed the number of the Luftwaffe in person.

"If you ask me, Chief of Staff Ban-Yuan, we don't need to attack from Kamensk-Shakhtinsky at all. The main force of our army is transferred to Novshakhtinsk, heading northwest straight to Krasny Rochi, Then go to Debalchev, there are few enemy strongholds and few towns along the way, we will take down Debalchev with lightning speed, and cut off the connection between Donetsk and Lugansk!" The 24th Infantry The head of the brigade, the young general Isomura, is obviously not a fuel-efficient lamp.

The idea that this guy came up with just now was that two routes should not be divided into three routes. These few words did not work, and he came up with another idea in a blink of an eye. The Eastern Route Army concentrated its main force to attack from Novoshakhtinsk, abandoning Kamensk-Shakhinsk in the north. Hetinski's line of attack!

Lieutenant General Chai Goro, the former enemy commander-in-chief of the Eastern Route Army, narrowed his eyes when he heard the words, feeling both joy and annoyance in his heart. The two brigade leaders, Isomura and Morioka, one did not lack courage and the other did not lack wisdom. They are all masters who dare to break into Liangshan, but you don’t look at my Eastern Route Army, which has been assembled in Kamensk. The battle is about to start at any time, and now it suddenly moved to the south 100 kilometers away Re-arrange the attack in the place, are we playing house?

"Your Excellency Chief of Staff, the courage and decisiveness of the head of the Isomura Brigade are of course good, but the preparation and launch of the battle cannot be done in half a day. Besides, if you go to the south, you have to report to the General Headquarters of the Allied Forces, and the Samara side Coordinate with us the relationship between the Southwest Front Army and the South Front Army, and the relationship between Tsaritsyn Prefecture and the Don River and the North Caucasus Autonomous Republic. !"

The one who was speaking was Alexander Ilyich Yegorov, the commander of the Tsaritsin Army of the Volga Federation. This guy felt that the Japanese general in front of him was simply joking. The battle was about to start in the sky, and suddenly the whole division turned around and ran to the unfamiliar area in the south to reorganize the preparations for the battle.

The enemy on the opposite side is not just the so-called Ukrainian National Army, but there are at least two divisions of the German Army. Although it is said that they are only reserve infantry divisions, is there any doubt about the combat effectiveness of the German Army on the Eastern Front?Yegorov doesn't think that a Japanese brigade can defeat a German infantry division head-on. Even if the strength of the two sides is actually about the same, if there is a real fight, who knows whether the troops of the two Japanese brigade leaders will be effective!

"Time is indeed tight, but if you take the train to transfer, you should have time, not to mention that the Eastern Army's campaign was launched one or two days later than the Central Army. As for the coordination with Denikin and General Wu, I don't think it's a big problem. The key is that our revised combat plan can indeed convince the Southwest Front Army Command and the Allied Command!" Chief of Staff Seishiro Sakagaki replied.

"Your Excellency Chief of Staff, if the enemies in Donetsk and Luhansk each have three divisions, and our entire Eastern Route Army's front-line troops are obviously insufficient, I suggest that the 17th and 18th Federal Infantry Divisions in Tsaritsyn All divisions are used for front-line offense, so that we can win the first battle!"

The one who spoke was Inza, the commander of the 16th Infantry Division of the Tsaritsin Army, who was formerly the commander of the 15th Division of the Main Infantry Division of the Ninth Army of the Southern Front of the Soviet Red Army. The prisoners of war also followed Yegorov to take up arms and rejoined the Volga Federation Army, and were appointed by Yegorov as the commander of the 16th Infantry Division of the Tsaritsin Army.

"I agree with Maxim Alexievich's suggestion that my 17th Division should not stay in Tsaritsin as a part-time policeman to maintain order, but should be used on the frontline battlefield as soon as possible, and prove with victory Everything!" The first responder to the commander of the 16th Infantry Division was Kikweize, the commander of the 17th Infantry Division stationed in Tsaritsin.

"Dennis Zubjevich is right. My 18th Infantry Division has been screaming for a long time. I demand that our 18th Infantry Division be used in the main attack direction of the Eastern Route Army! We will never Don't embarrass the Volga Federation and the Allied Forces!" Oleg Nikolaevich Ust, commander of the 18th Infantry Division, had a higher tone than the two previous colleagues.

Both the Allied Forces of the Allied Powers and the Volga Federation adhered to the style of employing people without suspicion, so Yegorov’s Tsaritsin Army, not only the main generals of the divisions and brigades, were recommended by him and reported to the General Command of the Federal Armed Forces for approval. Appointment is the main source of troops for the three divisions, and most of them are prisoners of war from Yegorov's Ninth Army. Therefore, the team formed quickly and morale recovered quickly!
