Chapter 1093 I got my wish (seeking a monthly ticket)

On the Ukrainian front, the Russian Army's newly formed Southern Front Command, Commander Marshal Budyonny and Political Commissar General Zaporozhets are discussing the next military operations. The order issued by Moscow is very urgent, requiring them to launch an attack as soon as possible.

However, Marshal Budyonny is not a reckless person. In particular, the Ukrainian army voluntarily abandoned Rostov-on-Don, which made him feel a great threat. In addition, although the Southern Front has three group armies and an independent infantry army under its jurisdiction, it has a total strength of more than 600,000 troops. However, the 12th Army is still on its way to the south, and there is no hope for the time being.

Before, most of the Russian generals did not take Ukraine seriously, thinking that the combat effectiveness of the Ukrainian army was terrible, and there was nothing to worry about. But in the previous battle, the Ukrainian army arrived in Rostov-on-Don in two days and captured it in only two days, which undoubtedly made people have to face up to their combat effectiveness. Even if it was defeated by the Ukrainian Army, it was only the second-line troops of the Russian Army. However, this is also worthy of vigilance. Marshal Budyonny also deduced from this that the combat effectiveness of the Ukrainians is no longer the same as in the past.

"Comrade Marshal, Comrade Joseph asked us to launch an offensive within a week. Now, it has been three days, when do we have to wait?" Admiral Zaporozhets asked a little dissatisfied.

As a political worker single-handedly promoted by Joseph, Zaporozhez was loyal to Joseph. In fact, the political workers in these troops are the tools used by Joseph to control the troops. They may not have much military talent, or they may have done more than fail. However, their loyalty was exactly what Joseph needed. It was precisely because of this that Joseph valued them very much. In many cases, in the army, the status of political workers is higher than that of military officials at the same level. It is even possible to arrest these military chiefs.

However, Marshal Budyonny is one of the few giants of the Budyonny Army, with a high rank and senior qualifications, so Zaporozhez did not dare to be too presumptuous.

"Wait a little longer, the 12th Army is already on its way." Marshal Budyonny said. With only two army groups and an independent infantry army, he really didn't have much confidence in defeating the Ukrainians.

The Ukrainian 1st Army is undoubtedly elite. Compared with the Russian field troops, it is not bad at all. Even if the other Ukrainian armies are not as strong as the 1st Army, they may be able to defeat them by relying on their strength. . Therefore, Marshal Budyonny hopes to wait a little longer, and he will be more confident when the follow-up 12th Army arrives. Of course, if possible, he would like to wait a little longer, until after the mobilization of the Russian army is completed, more follow-up troops will arrive on the battlefield. In this case, his confidence will be even greater. However, Marshal Budyonny knew that Joseph had never been a patient person. If his patience was worn out and he did not get the result he wanted, the consequences would be more serious.

"Comrade Marshal, if the 12th Army is going to arrive, I'm afraid it will take several days, and it will be too late. Comrade Joseph blames it, how can we take care of it!" Admiral Zaporozhic looked worried.

"I know what to do!" Marshal Budyonny said.

Seeing this, although Admiral Zaporozheci secretly hated him, he didn't say anything more. Anyway, he had already persuaded him, and if Marshal Budyonny didn't listen, it was none of his business. As long as Joseph has an order to arrest Budyonny, he will execute it immediately.

Joseph was indeed a suspicious, short-tempered, and impatient man. After he issued the order to form the Southern Front Army, he hoped that Budyonny could lead the army into Ukraine as soon as possible, and beat the Ukrainians to the brim, so that Budyonny would be ashamed. However, Budyonny did not move, which naturally did not satisfy him.

For the first two days, Joseph was able to bear it. But then, he couldn't help it. He began to send continuous telegrams to the Southern Front Army Command, urging Marshal Budyonny to lead the army to launch an offensive.

At the beginning, Marshal Budyonny was unmoved by Joseph's pressure. However, the most unacceptable thing for Joseph was that others ignored his orders, especially Marshal Budyonny, who commanded the army, which made him deeply afraid from the bottom of his heart. Therefore, Joseph was about to lose his patience soon, and even thought of replacing Marshal Budyonny.

Under such circumstances, Marshal Voroshilov sent a telegram to Marshal Budyonny, telling him not to go any further, and to execute the order quickly. Otherwise, I'm afraid it's hard to protect myself.

Marshal Voroshilov was promoted to Marshal in the same year as Marshal Budyonny, and he had a good personal relationship, so he reminded Marshal Budyonny.

Marshal Budyonny sighed and had to follow the order.

On the morning of September 12, 1939, the Russian army crossed the border and launched an offensive into Ukraine.

The Kingdom of Ukraine seems to have been prepared for the attack of the Bu-Russian Army. They were on the border and did not deploy many troops, allowing the Bu-Russian Army to drive straight in.

Thanks to Germany's spy network in Bu Russia, they were able to obtain a lot of military intelligence on Bu Russia. Although, the People's Committee of Internal Affairs of Bu Russia has repeatedly encircled and suppressed the German spy network in Bu Russia, and has also arrested many German spies. However, the German spy network has been functioning and operating efficiently.

Faced with this attack by the Bu-Russian Army, the Kingdom of Ukraine adopted pocket tactics, intending to put the Russian army in first, and then gather superior forces to carry out the siege. In this case, the possibility of their victory is undoubtedly greater.

While the Russian army invaded Ukraine, the Ukrainian army also began to gather. A large number of troops rushed to the front line by train and car, preparing to participate in this battle.

Joseph who was far away in Moscow had a smile on his face when he learned that the Russian Army had invaded Ukraine and drove straight in. He seemed to have seen the scene where the Russian Army conquered Kyiv and arrested all the bureaucrats of the Kingdom of Ukraine for trial. up.

"Ukraine will return to the big family of Russia. In the future war, the winner will definitely be ours!" Joseph looked confident.

Similarly, Qin Tian, ​​Emperor of the German Empire in Berlin, also showed a smile on his face.

"After so much effort, the Russians finally invaded Ukraine. Then, we finally have an excuse to declare war!" Qin Tian finally found a reason to declare war as he wished.
