Tenth, the Eighth Army sent two consecutive telegrams, both showing that although Kolchak may have led the main force of the White Guards of Cheboksaré, the distance is far away and far from threatening the flank security of the two former Southern Front Army's main army. Of course, the situation is likely to change in the next few days, so the task before the Volga Front is still quite arduous.
"It seems that the situation on the southern front is temporarily stable. Let's solve the problem on the northern front first. Do you have any opinions on Karl Ivanovich's playing style just now? Although artillery training and training are not a short while, it was also said in Moscow's telegram that by the latest tomorrow afternoon, Moscow will be able to transport 30 artillery companies' cannons!
Therefore, our firepower on the Northern Line will be greatly strengthened. In this case, counterattack and recovery of Cheboksare are not unimaginable! The key is that soldiers are very fast! The Front Command must make a decision as soon as possible." Voroshilov was obviously a little anxious.
"Criment Yevremovic, in fact, although the White Guards on the Northern Line are likely to be insufficient, or there are only five divisions, our two army groups in Nizhny Novgorod have just been replenished, and there is no question of rest. In this case, should we attack in full or send three divisions to push across the railway line? If the enemy is five divisions defending Cheboksaré, it will be difficult for us to regain lost ground by only three divisions!"
Sergey Sergeyevich, commander of the Fifth Army, pondered, although the first wave of attacks was the several divisions of the Third Army, and the two armies had not had enough time to rest. Although the cannons could be transported tomorrow, the gunners, animals, carriages, and even shells had not yet landed. At this time, he rushed to attack with the information that Kolchak led the main force to the south. Kamenev, who had been through the battlefield for a long time, felt a little panicked.
Voroshilov glanced at Kamenev. The chief of staff of the front army, Chernavin, was already rushing to say, "The so-called speed is the most important thing. The war is to be unexpected. The White Guards sang an empty city plan and actually killed us. If the other side really had only one brigade blocking our Kstovo, we would not fight back, let alone ourselves, and even a Red Army soldier could not agree. What's more, Moscow was looking at us and waiting for us to report a new combat plan!"
"With that being said, Vladimir Nikolayevich, what is the basis for our counterattack? Is it the information reported by the Volga Federation? If the main force of Kolchak started to move south a day ago, why did the Volga Federation remember to tell us about Kolchak's movements this afternoon, and what if the news is false? What should we do then?
The troops in the south were frightened by the false enemy and dared not act rashly, while the main army in the north advanced impetuously. If they fell into the trap of the main force of Kolchak, how would they end? Break through again? Who will defend Nizhny Novgorod?" Sergei Sergeevich Kamenev retorted without being outdone.
Chernaveng was speechless for a moment, his face turned red and he couldn't speak in anger. Voroshilov was touched by Kamenev's words. Although he did not think that Moscow's intelligence was wrong, the water was inconsistent and the soldiers were inconsistent. What if Kolchak deceived the air reconnaissance of the Volga Federation?
If Kolchak goes south, he flicks a shot, and the troops attacking Kstovo are just bait to lure the enemy, and Kolchak's main force is ambushing the south of the railway line. Voroshilov's face became serious. Obviously, things may not be as simple as he thought before. If there is a case, the Volga Front Army will really make a good show, and his former commander-in-chief will be to blame!
The commander of the Fifth Army obviously not only hit Voroshilov's heart, but also Berzin and Mezeninov, the partners of the Third Soviet Army of the Soviet Union, also fell silent. Shaboshnikov, chief of staff of the Fifth Army, couldn't help but say,
"I agree with Sergei Sergeevich's opinion. The feasibility of Kolchak cheating us and the Volga Federation at the same time is there. This is worthy of our serious and calm thinking. Advance westward and capture of Nizhny Novgorod are the main purpose of Kolchak's main force sending troops from Kazan to the south to attack our flanks? I can't see the necessity. First, we can retreat to the inland, second, we have two main armies in the south, and Kolchak does not have an overwhelming advantage in terms of force!"
Shaposhnikov's words were like a heavy hammer, hitting Voroshilov, Chernavin, Berzin and Mezeninov again. As for the political commissar of the Fifth Army, Liubimov, who was contemplating and not speaking at this time. The shock of this guy was, Damn, the direct generals of Moscow in the north were not fuel-efficient. Shaposhnikov looked inconspicuous and regarded the chief of staff of the army as a stern and thoughtful, and was not ambiguous when he was time to express his opinions.
"The opinions of Karl Ivanovich, the two commanders of the Fifth Army, what do you think of the Third Army?" Seeing that the atmosphere in the conference room had fallen to freezing point, the political commissar Kamenev stood up and carried the ball to Beerzin. The Third Army was carrying the heavy burden. You, the commander, are the military commander, and you can't be the ostrich buried in the sand.
Berzin frowned and pondered silently when he heard this. In his opinion, there was certainly such possibility that the Fifth Army Kamenev said, but Kolchak could be so superb to this extent? He tossed hundreds of thousands of people within a range of hundreds of kilometers. Food consumed the soldiers' physical strength was a problem in all aspects. The guy frowned for a long time, and saw that everyone in the conference room was staring at him and waiting for answers, and then he spoke,
"Speaking of the fact that the soldiers are in constant force and water is in constant shape. We lack the means of air reconnaissance, and the ground reconnaissance lacks timely feedback. Moreover, the enemy is not easy to deal with. I think I am afraid I am really prepared for both hands. That is, Kolchak may take his main force Benzalansk to attack our 1st Army and Budonnie Cavalry Army, or he may also shoot and kill a return gun and eat the troops we counterattacked from Nizhny Novgorod in one bite! Both possibilities exist!"
Berzin frowned, but was telling the truth. Everyone here was quite frustrated when they heard this. Obviously, the matter had developed to this point, which was really passive for the Soviet Volga Front.
