    July 27, 1918 12:00 Dubrovsky Headquarters of the 3rd White Guard Division in Reskovo

    The commander of the 3rd Kazan Infantry Division of the White Guards, Andrei Gavrilovich Dubrovsky, was a very useful general under Kolchak. He was a traditional small and medium-sized Russian landowner.  He is a child of a family background. In other words, the family's farm with nearly a thousand acres of land is also the property saved by the hard work of several generations of the family. Speaking of which, the family's financial conditions are not particularly well-off.

    As the young master of the old Dubrov family in Dubrov Village, Dubrovsky has been a stubborn man who has been sneaking around all day long since he was a child. Fortunately, old Dubrovsky still has some discernment and knows  If he stayed in the village and became the successor of a rich man, Xiao Du would be ruined. The old man gritted his teeth and sent Xiao Du to the Youth Military Academy in Petersburg when he was 12 years old.

    Although Xiao Du was born into a wealthy family, he was a familiar guy. In the youth military academy, he had a group of gangsters with all kinds of people, including the children of grand dukes and nobles, rich men of the bourgeoisie, and landlords like him.  Future generations, there is no such thing as a life of debauchery in the Junior Military Academy. After all, the management is still quite strict.

    But after entering the Petersburg Army Military Academy with a group of buddies, it was like a fish leaping over a dragon gate and a bird flying over the vast sea. The playboy Dubrovsky quickly seamlessly integrated into the luxurious life of Petersburg's debauchery, making his hometown  The old man suddenly discovered that it was very expensive to support a future officer who went to the military academy. He could buy several more farms. However, although Dubrovsky lived a luxurious life and learned the ways of the aristocracy, he was still middle class at heart.  Descendants of small class landowners.

    As mentioned before, Dubrovsky was just a captain at the beginning of the European War. Because of his bravery in the Eastern Front in the Tsarist Russian army, he was awarded the Order of St. Nicholas twice. Later, when he was injured and recuperating, something went wrong and he married again.  The daughter of a retired Tsarist Russian general, old Dubrovsky in his hometown felt that all his investment had paid off. When he was happy, he sold a farm to his son and bought a house and villa in Petersburg.

    Fortunately, after a few years of fighting, Dubrovsky became a regimental commander in the Tsarist Russian army. After the October Revolution, the old Dubrovsky was the in-laws of a retired Tsarist Russian general and the largest in Dubrov Town.  The landowners were overthrown and driven out of their homes by the poor peasants and laborers inspired by the Bolsheviks. All power belonged to the Dubrov Town Soviet, and all the property of the wealthy Dubrovsky family, the landowners, also belonged to the Soviet!

    Although Old Dubrov had a good reputation and reputation in his hometown, and he often helped his fellow villagers in years of famine and calamity, in the face of the torrent of Bolsheviks, all his warmth was shattered by class struggle. Old Du and his family first  He was kicked out of the village, and then died under the gunfire of the Bolsheviks with the label of class enemy during the expansion of the riots and counter-revolutionaries caused by the rural resistance to the surplus grain collection system.

    No matter what happened to Lao Du, in the end, Xiao Du, like most of the children of nobles, landowners and capitalists among the Tsarist Russian officers, had no other choice but to go to Kazan to defect to Kolchak. After that, Kolchak  As soon as his troops were expanded, this guy became the commander of the 3rd Kazan Infantry Division. He was considered a well-connected and capable guy in the White Guards, and he was at odds with the Soviet Union and wanted revenge!

    In the battle with the Third Army of the Soviet Red Army for Chivelisk, Dubrovsky's 3rd Division achieved greater results than Zulin's 2nd Division, and suffered fewer casualties than Zulin's 2nd Division.  There are less than 2,000 people. After several days of recovery and replenishment, the combat effectiveness has been basically restored. Among the Cheboksary North Cluster, the one with the best combat effectiveness is Dubrovsky¡¯s 3rd Kazan Infantry Division.  .

    Dubrovsky took his main force of the Kazan 3rd Division to the Yadlin line yesterday afternoon, and began to send troops along both sides of the railway west of Yadlin to start clearing the countryside, that is, clearing out the young people in the local villages and towns.  All the strong men were organized into civilian corps, and all the women, children, old and weak were expelled five kilometers to the west.

    In addition to the replenished 5th and 6th brigades, Dubrovsky's 3rd Kazan Division also received two reinforced battalions from the 1st and 2nd Kazan Divisions. In addition, the newly appointed  Gliniov, commander of the White Guards' Cheboksary North Cluster, also sent 2 Cossack cavalry battalions from the 1st Regiment of the 6th Brigade of the 3rd Don Cavalry Division.

    Not only that, Glinyov also temporarily sent Cheboksary's supplementary division and 5,000 civilians to Dubrovsky, pretending to be the main force and looking like they were outnumbered, and deceiving the local people.  , and came to seize the time to help Dubrovsky's 3rd Division rush to repair the defense lines and fortifications of the Yadlin Bridgehead.

    As an ancient city in the Chuvash region, Yadelin has a long history. It was founded in 1590 and established as a city in 1781. It is located on the west bank of the Sula River, a tributary of the Volga River. It is quite close to the topography of Ufa. The Sula River flows from the north to the Volga.  The river divides and reaches the north of Adelin.It ran eastward, turned a corner, then turned south and then west, completely surrounding the city of Adelin on three sides, and finally rushed southward along the southwest corner of the city.

    The road and railway bridge across the Sula River to the north of Yadlin is a battleground for military strategists, and it is also the bridgehead that Dubrovsky focuses on defending. Samson Miha, chief of staff of the division and commander of the 5th brigade, remains here.  Ilovic Wellin guards the defense line of the Yadlin organization.

    Dubrovsky himself, after the armored train arrived yesterday evening, took advantage of the darkness to personally lead the 6th Brigade, the 1st Division, the 2nd Division, and the 4 battalions reinforced by the Don Cavalry, towards the  West launched an offensive along the railroad lines.

    The 85-kilometer railway line from Cheboksary to Yadlin had been repaired by the White Guards Engineer Corps during the rest a few days ago. When Dubrovsky attacked with the armored train detachment as the leader, the 3rd  The division's cavalry reconnaissance battalion was responsible for leading reconnaissance along the railway. At the same time, Dubrovsky sent a cavalry battalion to search and advance along both wings of the railway, on each five-kilometer-wide row.

    The main force of the Sixth Brigade directly boarded the troop transport train. Of course, the two armored trains at the front and rear were the escorts, and the two main regiments of the Sixth Brigade could carry a troop transport train in the middle. In the night, it looked like a  The big centipede lying on the ground was crawling forward.

    Dubrovsky's 3rd Division 6th Brigade's night attack led by armored trains did not encounter any major resistance. As early as the afternoon, several reconnaissance detachments of the Soviet Red Army had been divided and annihilated by his cavalry battalion, driving them away.  Except for most of the night, the train was running and stopping for most of the night, just waiting for the engineers to constantly repair the damaged railway in front, because the Soviet Red Army only damaged one area for about five kilometers to ten kilometers when it evacuated.
