Have measures been taken to establish secure radio communication between Kharlamov’s group and Headquarters of the 7th Army?[2] Is this communication sufficiently reliable? What about all the other groups? If our help is required, telephone.
[1] The document hears a note in Sklyansky’s hand: “In code. By direct line at once.”—Ed.
[2] In accordance with the directive issued on October 17, 1919, by Commander-in-Chief S. S. Kamenev, a striking force under S. D. Kharlamov was organised in the Kolpino-Tosno area. This group was to deliver an attack against the enemy in the Krasnoye Selo-Gatchina direction. At the same time the command of the Western Front planned a general counter-offensive by the 7th and 15th armies. The 7th Army was to continue the attack in the direction of Gatchina-Volosovo-Yamburg, and the 15th Army in the Pskov-Luga area.
