Chapter 606 (Part 2) Don't take a step back
This is Vgorod, not Cheboksaré, Moscow has issued a death order, so no step back!”
Front Chief of Staff Chernavin seized the opportunity and rushed towards Bellgin.
"Vladimir Nikolayevich, don't scare people with Moscow. When my Third Army fought bloody battles on the front line, I don't know whose army was not fired a single shot or an ammunition. It was driven 50 kilometers from the left bank of the Volga River by a telegram. Why didn't anyone stand up and yell at that time that you are not allowed to take a step back?" Berzin pushed back, trembling all over Cherner and couldn't speak.
"Okay! Pay attention to the right level, just about it. I said, do you still have the existence of me, a military district and military commissioner of the Front Army? Is this the time for you to act in an impulse? Karl Ivanvich, speaking to the superior leaders of the Front Army, must have the awareness of the subordinate commander! Now it is a discussion. Moscow's order is not to take a step back. This must be conveyed to every Red Army soldier in all the armies!"
Lev Borisovic Kamenev, a member of the Central Committee of the Soviet Union, and the First Military Commissioner of the Front Army, Lev Borisovic Kamenev, couldn't help but slapped the table. Of course, the Third Army, as the only remaining main force of the former Eastern Front Army formed by Moscow, and his performance from Kazan to Cheboksare was indeed worthy of the title of the Central Army. Therefore, Kamenev's table slapped the sky, and his eyes were not sharp when he looked at Beerzin.
Of course, Beerzin would not be stupid enough to keep pushing the ground. Just stop and express its position and attitude. The Volga Military Region and the Eastern Front Mountains of the Front Central Plains, the Moscow-leading Eastern Front Mountains, and the Southern Front Mountains of the former Chalizin, will coexist for a long time. With Moscow and Kamenev's support from the public and secret ways, Beerzin will naturally not be able to defeat Chernaveng. If the Volga Front Headquarters become the one-man show of the Southern Front cadres, it would be troublesome!
"Sergey Sergeyevich, you are the commander of the Fifth Army. What do you think? Do we need to send a powerful force to block the opponent's offensive halfway? Your army training has been completed? The defense lines have been arranged? Can the soldiers find their commanders? Have the bullets and shells been fired?"
The deputy commander of the front army and the commander-in-chief of the front army, Voroshilov, frowned and stopped talking to Bernidor. He turned around and asked Kamenev, the commander of the Fifth Army.
Kamenev pondered for a moment, stood up and walked to the map, pointed at Adelin to the southeast suburb of Xia Vgorod, and expressed his thoughts.
"Kremente Yefimovich, Kolchak's main force has only less than three days off. According to my judgment, the enemy should have launched a second round of offensive in a hurry. Of course, in order to concentrate our efforts to defend Xia Vgorod, we retreated the main force back to Xia Vgorod's front line.
So from the opponent's outpost, Yadrin, to this southeastern suburb of Xia Vgorod, along the 150-kilometer railway, the militia and guerrillas organized by the local Soviets will definitely not be able to stop the enemy, and the front-line reconnaissance teams will not do it either!”
Kamenev turned around, gestured in the west of Xia Vgorod, and said with a wry smile,
"Everyone, my Fifth Army hastily formed an army, and the soldiers came from their own different places, including Russian prisoners of war, workers from Vgorod, and garrison troops in Moscow. By the evening, the seven divisions had just barely equipped the cadres and commanders at all levels of the seven divisions, and weapons and ammunition were also being distributed. What is the western defense line? Some of the trenches have been dug, but it is still far from completing them.
You're welcome to say that if the main force of Kolchak detours to the west at this time, under the current personnel and equipment, although I have 7 divisions, I can support it for at most 3 days. This will have to be the case when the enemy has no more than five divisions to attack. So I agree with the idea of the Front Command and can send powerful troops to block the enemy halfway! I'm done!"
Kamenev walked back to his position and sat down. He murmured in his heart that it would be impossible for Beerzin to not be able to delay the opponent's advancement and attack as much as possible, and would be able to gain more time. At least at this moment, his Fifth Army's combat effectiveness was not enough. It would be great that every soldier could find his own company.
Among them, the Russian prisoners of war returned to China less than ten days ago, and the ideological education work was just starting in all aspects. At this time, Kamenev was completely unsure of what kind of performance he could force them to go to the battlefield.
As for the source of the troops of the Vaggorod workers' division, they naturally could barely pass the political awareness, but their military skills and combat experience were almost blank. Many people could rub the bolt of the Mosinnagan rifle.
Due to long-term hunger and malnutrition, these 16-7-year-old young Red Army soldiers generally grow like bean sprouts. They can skillfully lie in the trenches and put bullets on and aim and shoot. They will not collapse under the enemy's machine guns and cannons. They still have a long way to go before the workers and soldiers of the Fifth Army target.
As for the source of the two garrison troops in Moscow, they barely possess certain military skills and combat experience, but the pride of the working class and the superiority of the Moscows made them obviously have a high opinion of themselves. Even the workers and soldiers of the Lower Vgorod were not very much respected, let alone the former Tsarist Russian prisoners of war who had just returned to China and were still weak in their mental and physical strength.
This group of workers from Moscow garrison obviously cannot understand why these people who came back from Germany were prisoners of war without fighting for the motherland to the end? For Kamenev and his chief of staff, it is not necessary to combine such an army into a combat-capable and cohesive team, not to mention that only three days, even thirty days may not be enough.
Of course, time is not in the hands of the Fifth Army, nor even in the hands of the Volga Front. The attacking party has the initiative. At least from the outside, at least from the outside, the Kolchakbeth Guards of Cheboksarre is the master of time.
"I agree with Sergei Sergeevich's opinion. We need more time to restore the combat effectiveness of the troops. It is too uncomfortable to be beaten by passively sitting and being beaten, and it is not easy to find out the intentions of the enemy. If the enemy has other unspeakable intentions, how can we know about it 10 or 50 kilometers away from others?
