    At the same time, Lieutenant General Volemany, Chief of Staff of the Central Route Army, led three infantry divisions as reinforcements from Kazan and arrived at the Chivelisk battlefield. This put a huge obstacle to the Soviet Red Army's ability to win the final victory of the Kolchak troops in the Chivelisk offensive and defensive battle.  The weight of resistance.

    With the addition of fresh troops, the Kolchak White Guards' attack force in front of Chivelisk totaled four divisions: the 1st, 3rd, 9th and 10th Kazan Infantry Division, as well as the number of artillery companies facing them.  It was once again strengthened to more than 18 artillery batteries, and the Third Army of the Soviet Red Army defending Chivelisk had the strength of three divisions: the 1st Ural Infantry Division, the 29th Division and the 4th Division.

    Of course, at this time, Chupov's 1st Ural Infantry Division had only one regiment left, and the strengthened 29th Infantry Division had only 2 regiments left. However, the 4th Infantry Division that finally withdrew still had 3 regiments.  In addition, two armored train detachments, one on the left and one on the right, became the protectors of the Soviet Red Army guarding Suvelisk.

    Of course, the 1st Kazan Infantry Division of the Kolchak White Guards on the opposite side, which was the first to enter the battle, only had 1 regiment left, and the 3rd Division had 2 regiments left, but both the 9th Division and the 10th Division were fully equipped.  The infantry division, regardless of the comparison of firepower and strength, Kolchak's White Guards on the offensive side have an absolute advantage, not to mention that Kolchak still has an 11th Infantry Division as a reserve team that has not gone into battle.

    More importantly, for the Soviet Third Army, the enemy has occupied Alexandrovna and the Northeastern Defense Line, and has taken its own back road and headed straight for Cheboksary. At the same time, it is defending Cheboksary.  The 5th Infantry Division at Leidukou has suffered nearly one-third casualties, and the Workers Division has only half of its remaining soldiers. The three White Guard infantry divisions attacking from the opposite side are still launching cross-river attacks relying on their superior artillery fire!

    As for the 30th Ural Infantry Division of the Third Army defending the important crossing of Kozmodemyansk in the northwest, they actually lost contact 20 minutes ago. This made Berzin and his political commissar chief of staff who were stationed in Cheboksary  We all broke out in a sweat!

    "After ordering the armored train detachment 1 to break up, the 4th Infantry Division should not get off the train and withdraw directly to Cheboksary. The 2nd Infantry Division and the 3rd and 4th armored train detachments must ensure the smooth flow of the railway line on the northwest defense line. Call Chupov and  The one he left behind quickly got on the train and retreated, leaving a regiment of the 29th Infantry Division to hold its position, and finally retreated under the cover of the armored train detachment! "Commander said goodbye at the headquarters of the Soviet Third Army in Cheboksary!  Erjin ordered anxiously.

    "Comrade Commander, Kolchak's reinforcements arrived too quickly. At least 4 divisions of troops were committed to Kolchak in the direction of Qivelisk. The armored detachment and a regiment of the 29th Infantry Division alone could not stop them no matter what.  Stay!" Yefim Afanasyevich Shatenko, political commissar of the Third Army, said on the sidelines.

    This political commissar of the group army who was called by Berzin to be good at political and ideological work but lacked experience in fierce battles was actually a capable general with both wisdom and courage. If he had not personally commanded the 5th Infantry Division, he had repelled three enemy infantry divisions of the West Route Army.  The attack, now that Berzin has withdrawn and then directs all Boksary, it may have changed hands early!

    In fact, the reason why Berzin and Merzheninov were biased against their political commissars was simply because Shatenko was previously the political commissar of the Budyonny Cavalry Division of the Southern Front, and the Third Army was the main force of the Eastern Front.  First, the estrangement between the military and political cadres of Tsaritsyn and Moscow Central, the Southern Front and the Eastern Front cannot be eliminated as soon as everyone joins the Volga Front.

    "Karl Ivanovich, the 30th Infantry Division has lost contact. The phone and radio are unreachable. Could it be that the enemy has successfully crossed the river and broken through their defense line?" Mezheninov, chief of staff of the group army, was anxious at the side.  The way.

    "Calm down, don't be chaotic! Comrade Political Commissar, I will hand over the group army guard camp to you. You can go to the ferry position to take command personally. You must block the enemy with the 5th Infantry Division. Chief of Staff, those who have weapons among the lightly wounded have been organized.  Please take the radio with you and lead them by train to reinforce the 30th Infantry Division in Kozmodemyansk. You must hold on for at least 2 hours! I will personally be at the army headquarters if anything happens!  Report!"

    "Yes! Comrade Commander!" Political Commissar Xia Jianke hesitated to speak, but finally saluted and led the group army guard battalion straight to the position of the 5th Infantry Division at the northern ferry. Here, Chief of Staff Mergenino  After the husband waited for Shatenko to leave, he whispered to Berzin,

    "Karl Ivanovich, it took at most two hours for the enemy's cavalry division to arrive here from Alexandrovna, and after the 4th Infantry Division abandoned the northeastern defense line, the enemy's division and cavalry brigade in front of them naturally pursued it.  Come here, the target is Cheboksary, how can we hold on?

    What¡¯s more, the 30th Infantry Division in Kozmodemyansk in the northwest lost againWent to contact!  How about I switch with you, I sit at the army headquarters, and when Chivelisk's troops withdraw, you personally go to reinforce the 30th Infantry Division?  "

    Chief of Staff Merzheninov was a loyal supporter of Berzin. He was clearly worried that the Third Army would be encircled by the enemy in Cheboksary, so he wanted Commander Berzin to lead the headquarters first.  Go west. If the situation collapses out of control, at least the commander of the group army will be able to escape and not be wiped out by the enemy.

    "Nonsense, you are so confused! In the face of a powerful enemy, I, the commander of the army group, retreated so far away. How will I explain it to the entire group army officers? Then you will be blamed for Voroshilov's whole crime of fleeing without fighting and abandoning the troops.  Should I bear it?

    Don't say so much, Sergey Alexanderevich, I appreciate your kindness. Now you quickly bring the lightly wounded to reinforce the 30th Infantry Division. The opponent only has two Cossack cavalry divisions. Their artillery has passed.  The river is not easy!

    If it doesn¡¯t work, just abandon the ferry, withdraw 5 kilometers and then set up a defense line. This way you can avoid the enemy¡¯s superior artillery attack!  But there is one thing, what if, without my order, the 30th Infantry Division moved the enemy from the ferry to the railway line and cut off our retreat!  When the time comes, all division commanders and political commissars will be shot!  This is a fatal order, it is related to the life and death of the main force of the entire army, there can be no mistakes!  As soon as the armored detachment in the direction of Chivelisk is withdrawn, I will send it to support you as soon as possible!  "

    Berzin grabbed his old man¡¯s arms tightly, shook him, stared into his eyes and shouted.
