    w This makes the distance from Yadlin to Reskovo about 70 kilometers, and there are only seven or eight railway lines to be repaired. By midnight, the main force of Dubrovsky's westward advance has appeared in  After reaching Reskovo, the small Soviet Red Army troops only made symbolic resistance and dispersed.

    The 6th Brigade of the 3rd Kazan Infantry Division successfully occupied Reskovo!

    For the White Guard soldiers of the 6th Brigade of the 3rd Kazan Infantry Division who were still resting in Cheboksary at noon, they advanced 150 kilometers in 12 hours, which was considered an incredible progress. However, the troops were also tired and exhausted.  After seizing Reskovo, in addition to setting up camp and setting up security, and sending out search and reconnaissance cavalry in three directions, the rest of the troops took the time to rest and catch up on their sleep. They did not move all morning, and one of the troops rested until noon.

    "Your Excellency, Division Commander, the reconnaissance cavalry has found no trace of the main force of the Soviet Red Army in three directions. The opponent's small reconnaissance force seems to have completely retreated. What is our next step?" The speaker was the 6th Infantry Division of the 3rd Kazan Infantry Division.  Brigade commander Antonio Kagarovich Roslavlev.

    "Antonio Kagarovich, the local Soviet guerrillas stopped firing? Sparse gunshots were heard from time to time on the railway line last night, but you didn't catch any of them?" Dubrovsky  With dark circles under his eyes, his command headquarters was located in a luxurious carriage mounted on the back of the armored train.

    "Well, Andrei Gavrilovich, you're just fooling around. You also know that we are not familiar with the terrain here. There are ditches and creeks everywhere. The Cossack cavalry ran for half the night, but they didn't catch any of them.  Come, we don¡¯t dare to go too far away from the railway line. Who knows if the enemy¡¯s main force has already come around to ambush?¡± The commander of the 6th Brigade held the riding whip in his hand with a look of shock on his face.

    "It's dark and it's hard to catch them. It's been half daylight now. Have you caught anything? Can't you catch even a guerrilla or a Soviet scout? Antonio Kagarovich, there's no darkness at the moment.  Did it blind you?" Dubrovsky said angrily while dipping a piece of black bread into the sauce of horse meat and potato soup on the plate.

    In the land of Russia, where there has been a famine for almost two years, Dubrovsky is a White Guard division commander, but he can't get beef and mutton to eat. The only thing that can be sacrificed is horse meat. Because of this,  As long as there is fighting, there will be casualties, not to mention the heavy machine gun battalion of the artillery company of the baggage corps. How many days must we lose a few mules and horses with broken necks, sprained legs and feet, and be humanely destroyed?

    It would be slightly better in Kazan. After all, Tatars always keep one or two at home. After leaving Kazan and going to Chuvash, almost all the edible grain and grass in the local area have been taken away by the Soviet Red Army.  , Dubrovsky, who was chewing brown bread and drinking horsemeat and potato soup, was even a little confused. How long ago was the last time he lived a luxurious life in Petersburg with delicacies and delicacies?

    Roslavlev, commander of the 6th Brigade, spread his hands helplessly, "Andrei Gavrilovich, my division commander, to tell you the truth, the people here look like Bolsheviks to us, but  You have repeatedly warned not to shoot people casually. What can we do?

    Most of the other party's scouts or guerrillas are locals. They throw their guns into the grass or hide in the ditch, clap their hands and become ordinary people. How can we tell whether the other party is a real ordinary person or a guerrilla scout?  "

    "Antonio Kagarovich organized all the young people on both sides of the railway into militiamen to dig fortifications. The old, weak, women and children rushed to the west. The five kilometers on both sides of the railway from Reskovo to Yadlin were under martial law.  People are not allowed to pass without a pass. As for whether they are guerrillas and scouts, are they afraid that they will not be able to tell the difference? Give him an unloaded Mosin-Nagant rifle and ask him to remove the bolt. If he can't do it, he will be shot!  "Dubrovsky lectured disapprovingly.  ////

    "If you don't know how to dismantle a gun, shoot it? Sir, did I hear that right? If ordinary people have never played with guns, of course they won't know how to dismantle them. Why should they be shot instead?" Roslavlev scratched his head and was a little confused.

    "You are stupid, but you are really stupid. At the moment of life and death, if the person who was caught was a Soviet scout or guerrilla, would he be able to remove it? He must have rushed to remove the gun, wouldn't he?  The truth about the trap is revealed? As for the common people, if they really don¡¯t know how to do it, they won¡¯t do it even if they are killed. Who will really shoot them then?

    The coolies who rushed to join the civilian team, before capturing Nizhny Novgorod, we do not need the support of the local people. If they support us, we will not be able to shamelessly rob their food. You know what  Enemy-occupied territory?  This is the land of Soviet Russia. We are the occupiers, not their food and clothing parents. Do you understand now?  "Dubrovsky was obviously a little impatient.

    "Hey, when you say that, I understand, Andrei Gavrilovich, I will order the following to conduct strict screening. I want toWe can't find the guerrillas and Soviet scouts who have sneaked in among the strong men, but I said, division commander, do we really want to continue our attack westward?  Let me tell you, it is quite remarkable that our brigade has fought so far. Should we stop and wait for the main force?  "Brigadier Roslavlev said with a smile.

    "No! Antonio Kagarovich, we have to continue the attack! The 6th Brigade has rested all morning. The train line in front has been repaired for almost 30 kilometers. We will continue to advance. This evening, we should arrive in the northwest  Kstvo, 64 kilometers away, I estimate is the bridgehead of the Soviet Red Army's southeastern defense line of Nizhny Novgorod. We have to hit the opponent's head with the shells from the armored train, otherwise, this will be exposed.  I¡¯m scared!¡±

    Dubrovsky looked quite smug. While letting the orderly take away the plates, he stood up and walked to the map hanging on the wall of the carriage. He pointed at the map and said,

    "According to my order, the 2nd Regiment of the 6th Brigade will stay in Reskovo, and the 2nd Armored Train Regiment will also stay. The focus will be on repairing fortifications and arranging defense lines. With the railway station as the core position, it will be deployed along the south side of the railway line.  The cavalry battalion was dispersed in company units to all directions to expand the scope of reconnaissance and search! "

    As he spoke, Dubrovsky poked his finger at Kostovo Road, 20 kilometers southeast of the outskirts of Nizhny Novgorod. "I lead the 1st Armored Train Regiment and the 1st Regiment of the 6th Brigade, as well as the cluster.  Strengthen our four battalions and continue westward, trying to start the battle outside Kostovo before evening. However, Antonio Kagarovich, if you lead the 2 regiments to stay, you must defend Rescovo for me. If you can't.  Come and see me! Keep in touch with me by radio! Do you understand?¡±
