    "What does this have to do with it, Lev Borisovich, my Comrade Political Commissar, as long as the Allied Forces and the Volga Federation's troops are really preparing to go south, they will definitely have conflicts of interest with Kolchak's regime and entrench themselves.  Whether the White Guards in the three states of the North Caucasus are recruited, dispersed, or wiped out, the coalition and the Volga Federation are bound to win the North Caucasus.

    Unless Kolchak pinches his nose and acquiesces, the two sides will definitely be at odds. The Allied Forces and the Volga Federation are obviously deceiving themselves when they say they remain neutral with the Kolchak regime. Speaking of which, since we, the Soviet Union,  After signing the "Samara Peace Treaty" with the Volga Federation, we have the opportunity to become each other's true allies and deal with Kolchak together!  "

    Voroshilov was obviously inspired by his idea, his face burst into joy, and he murmured in his heart, Damn, if we can really get the support of the coalition forces, we can defeat Kolchak with no effort!

    "Comrade Political Commissar, I think what Kliment Yefremovich said makes sense. As long as the coalition forces and the Volga Federation go south to the North Caucasus, they will be invading the territory of the Kolchak regime, regardless of Krasnov.  and Denikin were the local leaders of one of the separatists. After all, they were nominally under the leadership and command of Kolchak's All-Russian Provisional Government!

    I think we should bring this to Moscow¡¯s attention!  Based on this analysis, let alone reconnaissance intelligence, it might be possible to directly borrow a few squadrons of bombers from the coalition to help us fight. Although Kolchak's West Route Army and Middle Route Army escaped the eyes of our ground scouts  !

    Now that the weather is so fine, I can't help but let the other party escape the sight of the Allied air reconnaissance!  Darling, if Moscow really has the ability to get involved with that Chinese king, we will definitely have no problem winning this battle with Kolchak!  "Chernavin, the chief of staff, said, his eyes brightening more and more, obviously inspired by the prospect he painted.

    "Report! Berzin's Third Army called again. In view of the fact that the enemy's situation on the north bank of the Volga River is still unclear, the casualties in the Qivelisk battle are increasing, and the enemy in front of him may increase his troops from the direction of Kazan. Therefore, Berzin suggested,  The bottom line is to continue the Iron Triangle defensive operation until evening, after which his Third Army will retreat back to Nizhny Novgorod one by one, asking the front commander to approve his battle plan!" A confidential staff officer hurriedly took the telegram he had just received!  Come in and report.

    "Hmm what do you think?" Voroshilov heard that Berzin's second telegram was a bit lacking in confidence, and he couldn't make up his mind for a moment, so he turned to Chernawin and Kamenev.

    "If Kolchak's Eastern Route Army only has five infantry divisions and one cavalry division, the remaining five divisions of Berzin's Third Group Army can definitely stop the enemy. We have equipped him with five  Armored train detachment, even if one armored car was lost in the fierce battle in the morning, the remaining four armored trains are equivalent to the strength of two brigades! We will not suffer in terms of strength and firepower!

    However, in one day and one night, Kolchak's engineering troops seemed to have quickly repaired the more than 100 kilometers of railway line from Kazan to Chivelisk. It seems that this guy is really capable of continuing to increase troops from Kazan!  "Chief of Staff Chernavin stared at the map for a long time before replying.

    "Although Berzin's Third Army has the strength and firepower of five divisions and four armored train regiments, its front line is too long, with a northeastern defense line of 36 kilometers and a northwest defense line of 38 kilometers. With such a spread, it cannot defend itself at the core hub of Chivelisk.  There are always fewer troops in the position than the opponent.

    If the enemy increases its troops again, even if the enemies on the north bank of the Volga River do not cross the river, the Third Army's defense line will be in danger of being broken through by Kolchak. I suggest that they be prepared to retreat at any time!  "Kamenev shook his head, obviously his assessment of the situation was more pessimistic.

    "What you said makes sense. I think Kolchak may be fishing and deliberately using his Eastern Route Army to hold back our Third Army, so that we have a sense of luck and think we can fight the opponent in the Iron Triangle.  In fact, if the railway from Kazan to Chivelisk has been repaired by them, then he can send reinforcements from Kazan at any time. This battle is almost over!  Roshilov looked at the map, frowning, and gradually made up his mind to withdraw.

    "Report, urgent telegram from Moscow!" Another confidential staff officer rushed in with a sweaty face and a draft of the telegram.

    The three generals in the war room of the Volga Front were all shocked. Chernavin stepped forward and snatched the telegram manuscript from the hands of the confidential staff officer. His hands were trembling a little, and he quickly read out,

    To the Volga Military District and Front Headquarters

    To Deputy Commander Voroshilov, Military Commissar Kamenev and Chief of Staff Chernavin

    July 23, 1918 12:20

      Moscow has reached an agreement with the Allied Powers Command, and the other party will provide us with the battlefield aerial reconnaissance information we need. According to the latest information provided by the Allied Powers Command, Kolchak¡¯s Western Route Army is led by Sergei Nikolai  Led by Vice Admiral Yevich Dimilev.

    The Western Route Army is composed of the 4th and 5th Don Cossack Cavalry Divisions of the White Guards and the 6th, 7th and 8th Kazan Infantry Divisions. The White Guards West Route Army led by Dimilev arrived from the north bank of Alexandrovna yesterday.  The assembly area was secretly moved to the upper reaches of the Volga River.

    According to aircraft reconnaissance, the current assembly area of ??the two cavalry divisions of the White Guard's Western Route Army is near the forest on the other side of the Kozmodemyansk ferry, and the other three infantry divisions are hidden three kilometers northwest of the opposite side of Cheboksary.  In the dense forest.

    According to our judgment, Kolchak¡¯s Western Route Army is likely to launch cross-river attacks at Cheboksary and Kozmodemyansk.

    In addition, reconnaissance and intelligence from the coalition headquarters showed that Kolchak's center army was led by cavalry general Roman Mikhailovich Krashilnikov and had two Don Cossack cavalry divisions (the 6th and 6th Don Cossack cavalry divisions).  7th Division) and three White Guard Kazan Infantry Divisions (9th, 10th and 11th Divisions).

    The center army led by Krashilnikov has been divided into two from Zelenodolsk, which was originally scheduled to cross the river. Two of the Don Cossack cavalry divisions have marched along the north bank to the other side of Alexandrovna, about 5 meters away.  Kilometers of forest cover were hidden, while the three infantry divisions turned around and returned to Kazan.

    According to our latest judgment, the three infantry divisions of the White Guard's Center Army returning to Kazan will most likely take trains and directly reinforce the Chivelisk battlefield along the railway line.

    The Central Committee and the Supreme Military Council of the Soviet Union hereby draw your attention to the fact that it is inappropriate to continue to entangle the troops attacking Kolchak at Cheboksary Chivelisk and Alexandrovna. The Third Army is already at Chivelisk.  A severe blow to the enemy forced Kolchak to understand that as long as we are willing to defend, he and his White Guards will not be able to move forward!
