Ukraine On the front line, the Russian army's newly formed Southern Front Army Headquarters, commanders Marshal Budyonny and Political Commissar General Zaporozhets, are discussing the next military operations. The order issued by Moscow was 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 took the initiative to give up Rostov-on-Don, which made him feel a great threat. In addition, although Southern Front Army has three group armies and an independent Infantry Corps, the total strength is more than 600,000. But 12th Army Corps is still on the way south, so there is no hope for the time being.
Before, most of Buru's generals didn't take Ukraine seriously, thinking that Ukrainian army's combat effectiveness was so bad that it was nothing to worry about. But in the previous battle, the Ukrainian army arrived at 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 though those defeated by the Ukrainian army were only Buru Army's second-line troops. However, this is also something to be wary of. Marshal Budyonny It is also inferred from this that the combat effectiveness of Ukraine people is different from the past.
"Comrade Marshal, Comrade Joseph requires us to launch an attack within a week. Now, it has been three days, how long do we have to wait?" General Zaporozhets asked with some dissatisfaction.
As a political worker promoted by Joseph, Zaporozhets is very 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 fail more than succeed. However, their loyalty is exactly what Joseph needs. It is precisely because of this that Joseph values them very much. Many times in the army, political workers have a higher status than military officers at the same level. These military chiefs could even be arrested.
However, Marshal Budyonny is one of the giants of the Buru Army, with a high military rank and seniority, so Zaporozhets does not dare to be too presumptuous.
"Wait a moment, 12th Army Corps is already on the way." Marshal Budyonny said. With only two group armies and one independent Infantry Corps, he really didn't have much confidence in defeating the Ukraine people.
1st Ukrainian Army Corps is undoubtedly an elite, and is no worse than the Russian field troops. Even if the other armies of Ukraine are not as strong as 1st Army Corps, they may still be able to defeat them due to their strength advantage. Therefore, Marshal Budyonny hopes to wait a little longer and be more confident when the follow-up 12th Army Corps arrives. Of course, if possible, he would rather wait a little longer until more follow-up troops arrive on the battlefield after the mobilization of the Russian army is completed. In this case, he will be more confident. However, Marshal Budyonny knows that Joseph has never been a patient person. If his patience is worn away and he does not get the results he wants, the consequences will be more serious.
"Comrade Marshal, if 12th Army Corps wants to arrive, I'm afraid it will take several days, and then it will be too late. If Comrade Joseph is blamed, how can we bear it!" General Zaporozhets looked worried.
"I know what to do!" Marshal Budyonny said.
Seeing this, although General Zaporozhets felt secretly resentful, he didn't say anything more. Anyway, he has already persuaded her. If Marshal Budyonny doesn't listen, then it's none of his business. As long as Joseph has an order to arrest Budyonny, he will execute it immediately.
Joseph is indeed a suspicious, grumpy, and impatient person. After he issued the order to form Southern Front Army, he just hoped that Budyonny could lead his army to attack Ukraine as soon as possible and beat Ukraine's people to shit, so that Buru could avenge his shame. However, Budyonny stood still, which naturally did not satisfy him.
In the first two days, Joseph could still bear it. But then, he couldn't help it anymore. They began to send Telegram to Southern Front Army Headquarters, urging Marshal Budyonny to lead the army to attack.
When Marshal Budyonny started, he kept resisting the pressure from Joseph and remained unmoved. However, what Joseph cannot accept the most is others ignoring his orders, especially a general like Marshal Budyonny, which makes him deeply afraid from the bottom of his heart. Therefore, soon Joseph was about to lose his patience, and even had the idea of replacing Marshal Budyonny.
Under such circumstances, Marshal Voroshilov sent Telegram to Marshal Budyonny, asking him to stop resisting and execute the order quickly. Otherwise, I might not be able to protect myself.
Marshal Voroshilov was promoted to marshal in the same year as Marshal Budyonny, and they had a good personal relationship, so he reminded Marshal Budyonny.
Marshal Budyonny sighed and had no choice but to follow the order.
On the morning of September 12, 1939, Buru Army crossed the border and launched an attack into the territory of Ukraine.
Kingdom of Ukraine seems to have been prepared for the Buru Army's attack. They did not deploy many troops at the border, allowing Buru Army to march straight in.
Thanks to Germany's spy network in Buru, they were able to obtain a lot of Buru's military intelligence. Although, NKVD of Buru has repeatedly carried out campaigns against Germany's spy network in Buru, and also arrested many Germany spies. However, Germany's spy network has been functioning and operating efficiently.
Facing Buru Army's attack, Kingdom of Ukraine adopted exactly Pocket Tactics, intending to bring in the Russian troops first, and then gather superior forces to carry out Encirclement Offensive. In this case, their possibility of victory is undoubtedly greater.
At the same time that the Russian army invaded the territory of Ukraine, Ukrainian Army also began to gather. A large number of troops took trains and cars and rushed to the front line to prepare for this battle.
When Joseph, who was far away in Moscow, learned that Buru Army had invaded the territory of Ukraine and drove straight in, a smile appeared on his face. He seemed to have seen the scene where the heroic Buru Army conquered Kiev and arrested all the bureaucrats of Kingdom of Ukraine and put them on trial.
"Ukraine will return to the big family of Buru. In the future war, the winner will definitely be ours!" Joseph looked confident.
Similarly, Berlin's German Emperor Qin Tian of the Empire also had a smile on his face.
"After so much effort, Russians finally invaded Ukraine. So, we finally have an excuse to declare war!" Oscar Now, we finally found the reason to declare war as we wished.
