Early 1919. Kolchak is coming
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.by Oleg Ayrapetov [REGNUM] At the beginning of 1919, in the Urals, the command of the Red Army tried to regain the lost initiative. Immediately after the defeat of the 3rd Army of the Soviet Eastern Front, Stalin and Dzerzhinsky arrived in Vyatka, where the red units had withdrawn, in order to clarify the situation. Stalin immediately drew the right conclusions from what had happened - the exhaustion of the troops by continuous six-month battles, poor supplies, the lack of reserves behind the extended front line, the headquarters being too far from the battlefield. He informed Moscow that if urgent measures were not taken to restore the combat capability of the 3rd Army, Vyatka might also fall. Posted by: badanov 2022-04-13 |
