Offensive front: Ozhejuviy - Gusyatyn - about 6o versts Bezpechna - Yanov about 40 versts; the average length of the roads is about 140 miles. The divergence of paths is insignificant, with the exception of the first (Sefvernogo), which at Starokonstantinov departs 20 miles from the village. Zarudye, (where the next parallel road passes). |
A significant number of transverse paths can fully ensure the connection between separate columns.
All roads in this operational area are unpaved, and the condition of their surface depends on the time of year and weather conditions.
There are very few natural barriers that could delay the advance along one of the above roads for a long time.

There are not many positions that would simultaneously fully satisfy the strategic requirements and tactical conditions in the stripes of this operational direction.
The more strategic points are:

To defend this point, you can use two sequential positions '): |
t. Ot lake k spveru from m. Volochiska to the stream. Nemtrinetskaya, directly along the Zbruch River. The right flank is covered by a dam and a swampy river valley. From m. Volochiska to the village. The Milyuvka (Myslova) river valley is dry and passable to the brol, below the village. Milyuvka along */ 3 versts and at the confluence of the stream. Nemrovetsky it is swampy and difficult to access. Shot at the choropium. M. Volochisk cannot serve as a stronghold; on the contrary, it weakens the defense. The flanks are secured. The northern section of this position can be separated into an independent position (from cape Volochiska to the village of Milyuvka); its main disadvantage is the easy possibility of bypassing from the village of Orzhekhovets (Orbkhovpy).
