Now that the Volga Federation has been established, the treatment of soldiers is much higher than that of the White Guards. Not only are medals and medals given out, but they can also inherit the land for future generations. Moreover, the Volga Federation troops have been equipped with Chinese weapons and equipment. , with the Allied Air Force armed to the teeth supporting the attack overhead, the German 10th Army commanded by Wilhelm Greiner, I think it is definitely no match for the King of China! "
Zinoviev put his hands on the table, stared at Bukharin disapprovingly and retorted. (None., pop-up window
"Okay, what's the point of arguing like this? Sverdlov, what do you think about the outcome of the Ukrainian campaign? You are the vice chairman of the Supreme Military Council and the commander of the Volga Military District and the Front. Your opinion on this issue is very important. !¡± The little leader Ulyanov waved his hand to stop the bickering between Bukharin and Zinoviev, and turned his attention to Sverdlov, his former close comrade-in-arms, but now he was a bit too big to lose. The third most powerful person in the Russian Central Committee.
"Comrade Chairman, fellow members, the senior staff of the Supreme Military Council have also been analyzing and discussing this issue. Unfortunately, the intelligence collection on both warring parties is insufficient. It is indeed insufficient. At present, it is necessary to make an accurate judgment. It's very difficult, it's indeed very difficult! How about listening to Comrade Trotsky's further analysis?" Sverdlov threw his hands and kicked the ball back. The battle with Kolchak consumed him. The commander of the front army has a lot of energy. If the perspective is raised to a higher level now, the commander really does not dare to draw conclusions easily.
Ulyanov snorted a few times after hearing this, turned to Trotsky dissatisfied, and said, "Comrade Trotsky, the views of Bukharin and Zinoviev are different from what you just said. The proposition is a supplement and argument, but obviously, is it too hasty and hasty to conclude that the Germans will lose to the Chinese and Japanese?¡±
"Comrade Chairman, being prepared for a rainy day is the most valuable quality of a military strategist and statesman. If the victory of Germany, Austria and China is really decided, I am afraid that the Soviet Union will no longer exist. Compared with the control of Russia's territory and population resources, Germany and Austria are no less ambitious than the King of China. Finland, Lithuania, Estonia, Latvia, Poland, Belarus and Ukraine have actually become satellite states of the German-Austrian Allied Powers. Do you think we will seize control from the Germans in the future? Is it easier to get these territories back, or is it easier to get them back from the unstable King of China and the Volga Federation? "
Trotsky¡¯s far-sightedness once again shattered the eyes of the Soviet Central Committee!
? 9:00 on August 6, 1918, the large war room of the Samara Allied Forces Headquarters
"Everyone, the situation is very serious. The Kharkov cluster of the Southwestern Front failed in its attack on Yekaterinoslav, while the Donetsk cluster failed in the Donbas coalfields. The Germans gave up on Donetsk and Lugan. In Sk, the two main divisions of the German 31st Army plus the Second Army of the Ukrainian National Army went north to reinforce the von Neuhaus troops in the middle!
Lieutenant General Da Ting hesitated for a moment and was almost surrounded by the opponent at the gate of Yekaterina Noslav City. Due to the heavy rain this week, the coalition air force was unable to enter the battle on a large scale. We were too optimistic about the situation! "
Standing in front of the big map was Wang Geng, the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Front Allied Forces of the Allied Powers. His face was a little blue. The entire war room was silent. Jiang Hongyu, Jiang Fangzhen, Tanaka Yiichi and other chiefs of staff, deputy chiefs of staff and deputy commanders of the Eastern Front Allied Forces They all looked solemn, and the group army commanders of the Allied Central Front below were even more energetic and did not dare to breathe.
¡°Actually, it¡¯s our fault that we underestimated the land of Russia. Ukraine had already passed the rainy season, but a few days ago, when the sudden warm and humid air flow combined with a burst of cold air from the north, the Donbass and East Ukraine became heavy rains. The muddy swamps made the Allied Southwest Front's Donetsk Cluster attack from the east as fast as a turtle could crawl. When the Germans relied on railways to evacuate the coal fields, they determined to destroy almost all railway hubs and Bridges, culverts and tunnels!¡±
There was a hint of exhaustion and anxiety in Wang Geng's expression. With the progress west of the Ural Mountains, the victory in the Battle of Ufa, the establishment of the Volga Federation, and the signing of the Samara Peace Treaty, a series of victories made him overly optimistic about the situation. The Southwest Front Army was formed with Taro Utsunomiya's Japanese Third Army as the main body and launched the Ukrainian campaign. It now seems that the preparations are still insufficient.
Although Wu Peifu's Southern Front occupied the North Caucasus, the region had many ethnic groups and was complex and mountainous. The troops also needed rest and replenishment before they could continue to march into the Baku oil fields. At this moment, they achieved victory in the first stage of the Ukrainian battlefield and occupied Kharkov's Southwest Front finally tasted the bitter fruit under the strong German counterattack.
"Director Qian, please briefly talk about the latest situation on each battlefield!" The commander-in-chief of the coalition forces waved his hand and signaled:Colonel Qian Tianfu, director of the war room, took over for him to talk about the battlefield situation. While walking back to his seat in the middle, he took out a cigar. On the other side, the coalition chief of staff Jiang Hongyu hurriedly got up and struck a match.
Wang Geng glanced at his chief of staff and lit a cigarette. The other person's eyes were also bloodshot. The bad weather had caused severe difficulties in logistics supply. The deputy who also served as the logistics commander of the coalition had probably not slept for several nights. After a good night's sleep, there were shouts everywhere that roads were destroyed and railways were interrupted. Materials, ammunition and food could not be transported to the front line. The progress of the simultaneous repair of the field road from Samara, the capital of the Volga Federation, to Saratov along both sides of the Volga River was also stalled. However, the supply of supplies for the hundreds of thousands of troops stationed on the Central Front of the coalition forces stationed on the Ufa Plains was also tight.
Qian Tianfu, the director of the war room, is suffering no less than others these days, because the real chief of staff Jiang Hongyu is actually mainly focused on the logistics headquarters, and the two deputy chiefs of staff Jiang Fangzhen and Tanaka Yiichi are obviously more More energy was put into the reorganization and organization of the various armies of the Central Front. Qian Tianfu, the director of the war room, actually became the chief of executive staff of the Eastern Front Allied Forces Headquarters. Under him, more than 20 staff officers and assistants worked in shifts 24 hours a day. In charge of the work of the General Staff Headquarters.
"Everyone, as of this morning, the situation on each battlefield is roughly like this. In the northern battlefield, the Soviet Red Army and the Kolchak White Guard's front-line troops are in a stalemate on the south bank of the Volga River from Reskovo Sergach Alatri to Nikolisk. , the main force of the Soviet Volga Front was concentrated on the Nizhny Novgorod-Salansk line, and neither side took any further action!¡±
