Chapter 416： Rosso conflict (8)

"A reverie of arming?"

"Yes it is."

After Yegorov finished speaking, he took Stalin to the battle map that he had in his mind and said. "You see, the Romanian troops are mainly concentrated on the Central Road and the North Road. Among them, the Romanian Central Road is supported by Kalilovka. Because there is a railway to Kiev, the troops are also deployed. The most one way has reached 210,000 troops. And its artillery, machine guns and other equipment are also the most. And the 14th Army’s tentative attack on it proves that its attack is completely undesirable."

After talking about the most powerful mid lane. Yegorov went on to talk about the other two routes: "The Romanian Northern Route; because the terrain is less undulating, it is easier for us to pass, so the Romanians have 130,000 troops here. If we turn here to attack, it is also completely undesirable. .Because less force is useless, and more force will easily be penetrated frontally."

After talking about the north, he began to talk about the southern line with the least force in Romania. "On the southern line; because of the terrain and lush vegetation, Romania has only 70,000 deployed here. This is the line where they have the least force."

"So you want to hit them on the southern route?"

Facing Stalin’s question, Yegorov said without concealment: “Yes, the southern route is our only opportunity.”

After finishing talking, he pointed to a small town called Nemilov that was the key point of the Romanian army’s defense on the battle map. The road of a truck. So as long as we can get here quickly, we can go straight to Vinnytsia. At this time, our frontline troops immediately entangled the enemy in the middle and northern lanes, giving the roundabout troops a chance to take Vinnytsia. "

Stalin looked at the location of Nemilov on the battle map. Is this humble town really going to be the key to the victory of the Luo Su and the two armies? At this moment, he was a little hard to make a decision.

"Then we can approach this small town without being spotted by the enemy?"

After thinking for a while, Stalin asked the key points. You must know that Romania is currently in the air, but there are planes at any time. Even their Berdychev, these pesky Romanian flies, come twice a day. And between this small town of Nemilov and Katogyn (the main force of the Western Front), there were many rounds of patrols in a day.

"I have already considered this point."

Yegorov pointed to the area marked as woods on the combat map and said: "I intend to rely on the cover of these trees and vegetation, and use the means of marching day and night. And in order to block the enemy's possible detection, I will send three times the detection. Troops, clean up this area. The prerequisite for implementing this plan is that it cannot be discovered by the enemy, otherwise the assaulting forces will suffer huge losses."

"Then how many troops do you plan to send?"

Faced with Stalin's question, Yegorov said what he planned. "I plan to send out all the 6th and 9th Group Army, and strengthen the machine guns and artillery in the front army warehouse. This raid is our only chance. The success of this raid is our only opportunity. We must have absolute superiority in our troops and increase firepower. ."

Of course Stalin also knew what Yegorov said about the 6th and 9th Army. The 6th Army is a more well-known army. Participated in defeating Yudenich’s attack on St. Petersburg and repelling Denikin’s voyeurism on Moscow is definitely a force capable of conquering combat. The 9th Army also performed well in repelling the Kolchak offensive.

Together, these two units approached 200,000 people, and they were basically composed of soldiers with rich combat experience, capable of carrying out this sneak attack mission.

But Yegorov pointed out one of the difficulties: "But if we want to attack our opponents, we can't let them discover our anomalies. If we are missing 200,000 people, the opposite party must be alert. If this problem is not solved, we will take the risk. It can't be lowered."

Hearing what Yegorov said, Stalin thought for a while and said, "This is easy to handle."

"200,000 troops is not a small number, no matter how tightly we blockade, the enemy can also detect it."

Thinking that Stalin was going to block the news, Yegorov quickly stopped it and said that it would not work.

Seeing Yegorov's distraction, Stalin said directly: "I also know that 200,000 people can't rely on blocking news. I plan to add 200,000 people in."

"We don't have 200,000 people."

"I know, but the Ukrainian government has it."

Stalin's proposal opened Yegorov's mind. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Stalin's method was better.

As the Soviet government supported and controlled by the Soviet Union, of course, it also wanted to expand the army to liberate Ukraine. So since occupying Kiev, the Ukrainian Red Army has enlisted more than 200,000 people. However, these soldiers have not been trained, and because of insufficient ordnance, they have not been transferred to the front line. This happened to be cheaper for Stalin and the others.

After solving the hidden dangers caused by the vacancy, Yegorov discussed with Stalin overnight about supplies, ammunition, and the route of the march. After two days of preparation, in the evening. The 6th Army, as the vanguard, took the lead from Katokin.

Stalin and Yegorov personally practiced it for them.

"Comrade Skrev, your actions this time will become the key point of this battle. As long as you succeed, the Romanians will undoubtedly be defeated. And I think only your 6th Army and the The 9th Army."

By the side of a big road outside Katokyn, Comrade Steel spoke with sincere heart and heart to the commander of the 6th Army, who is about to set off, about the importance of this mission.

"Don't worry, Comrade Political Commissar. Our 6th Army will definitely complete the task assigned. We will not let the motherland disappoint us."

Skrev, dressed in uniform, assured the two chiefs.

"This time we are waiting for your good news."

Yegorov, who felt that he needed to say something, , thought that he had told them all of his plans, so he could only say some blessings.

"Please rest assured, take care."

Watching Skrev, who rode on his horse and marched away with his men.

Stalin turned his head and said to Yegorov: "Now that they have been sent out, we can only wait for news."

"Yup."

Yegorov sighed and replied, and continued: "Currently, only 30,000 people in Ukraine have arrived in Katogyn, which is not enough. The 9th Army will also leave tomorrow, and no one can fill the vacancies."

"I have urged Kiev, and they said that there are 80,000 people on the way. Among them, 50,000 will be there tomorrow. As for the other troops, they are currently on their way to us."

Stalin's words made Yegorov feel much better. Hope everything goes well this time.
