    Berzin nodded slightly when he heard this, thinking that Kolchak's visit was not good. Is it a false shot to fool him, or is it a precursor to a large-scale attack? After tonight, I will have a rough idea tomorrow.  There are two armored trains and three artillery batteries on the enemy's side, and there are also two armored trains and two artillery batteries and one anti-aircraft artillery battery on our own side. There is not much difference in firepower. The 2nd Division should be able to rely on its established positions.  Stay for a while.

    "Comrade Commander, if three enemy divisions launch an attack at the same time, will the division commander and his troops in Kostovo be insufficient? Do you want me to bring the 2nd Regiment of the 4th Brigade to reinforce them?" Seeing Berzin's hand  Holding the microphone and silently thinking about something, the political commissar of the 2nd Division, Botzesky, couldn't help but take the initiative to ask for help.

    "Bolki Antonilovitch, don't be anxious. I'll send a troop transport train to standby. If the 2nd Regiment needs reinforcements, it can go up at any time. One division at the front of Kostovo Town is too many troops.  The 2nd Division remains in reserve!" Berzin said to Brezhnev on the other end of the phone.

    "Comrade Commander, I agree with your analysis. The enemy came from afar and was just a bluff. The opponent's current tactics are probably to repair an attack starting point and a bridgehead, which is beneficial to us.

    But you must be careful to keep your flanks safe. Once the enemy encircles you, this battle will be difficult to fight. Alexander Sergeyevich, the focus of Nizhny Novgorod's defense is not the gram you are holding.  The town of Stovo, so please be fully mentally prepared for this!  "Berzin ordered on the phone.

    "I understand, Karl Ivanovich, we have two armored trains for mobile defense. It is not easy for the enemy to cut off our retreat. I said, Comrade Commander, have you not seen that we used 20mm anti-aircraft guns to level the enemy?"  The way we look at the offensive front is really satisfying. The base of anti-aircraft shells is too small and the shells are not enough. Can the army send some more shells to my division?" Brezhnev clearly didn't look like him on the phone.  As nervous as before, the sound of cannons gradually became sparse.

    "Don't be careless, Alexander Sergeyevich. The 2nd Ural Infantry Division is a glorious unit, but there are also a lot of new recruits. It is an objective fact that the unit's combat effectiveness has been weakened. Your small group of troops will attack at night.  Do your best and don't underestimate the enemy and suffer a loss. I will try my best to think of ways for you to use artillery shells and anti-aircraft shells.

    But there is only one thing: before the army orders the abandonment of Kostowo, anyone who dares to take a step back will be shot by me!  Do you understand?  If the enemy does not increase its troops, your 2nd Division will continue to defend me!  "Berzin's tone became serious.

    "Understood! Defend the Kostov bridgehead resolutely! However, Comrade Commander, if the enemy's follow-up troops have not arrived, if the group army transfers two more divisions, I will definitely defeat these three divisions of the opponent tomorrow. You  Let¡¯s see what happens. If it doesn¡¯t work, just send me another division!¡± Brezhnev on the other end of the phone was obviously a little overconfident.

    "Alexander Sergeyevich, I remind you not to get carried away. The enemy's first arrival today is just a tentative attack. I still have doubts about whether you can hold it when the main force of the opponent arrives tomorrow. We are now defending the army group in Nizhny Novgorod.  The main force must not go out to Kostovo to fight with the opponent in the field, otherwise they will not be able to retreat if they are asked to cut off the retreat, and the local troops in Kostovo will not be able to move away!" Berzin couldn't bear it!  Zhi shouted.

    "I understand, Comrade Commander, let's hold on for now. Please rest assured at the Army Headquarters. If the enemy's firepower and troop strength no longer increase, we can definitely hold on for three days, no, two days, no, at least we can hold on tomorrow.  During the day!" Brezhnev was patting his chest and talking big words, and he was afraid that he would offend Berzin by underestimating the enemy. As a result, the number of days he promised to guard was shortened to one day.

    "Before tomorrow evening, the 2nd Division will not stay in position and you Alexander Sergeyevich will come to see you! Remember, the first thing is to strengthen reconnaissance and try to get a few prisoners of the White Guards as soon as possible. Send them to the back. I will personally  Interrogation!" Berzin said and hung up the phone.

    ¡°Commander, Chief of Staff Merzheninov¡¯s call!¡± A combat staff officer put down the phone call he had just picked up to report.

    Berzin walked over quickly and picked up the receiver. The anxious voice of Chief of Staff Merzheninov came over the phone, "Karl Ivanovich, how is the situation on the front line? I just received a call from the Front Army Headquarters.  If an emergency occurs, please come back as soon as possible and go directly to the front army headquarters!¡±

    "Sergey Alexanderevich, the battle situation on the front line is currently stable. It is estimated that the enemy will not launch a large-scale attack tonight. An emergency meeting at the front army headquarters? I will be back soon! That's it!" Berzin's heart sank.  He answered into the microphone.

    18:00 on July 27, 1918Position of the 3rd Brigade of the 2nd Ural Infantry Division of the Soviet Union in the town of Kostovo, southeast of Avgorod

    "Everyone, listen up. The world will be ours as soon as it gets dark. The 3rd Brigade will organize a small team to prepare for the attack. You must bring me back a few live tongues to find out the situation of the enemy on the opposite side! Sasha Bishka  Yevich, this time a company will be transferred from the guard battalion of your division to strengthen the attack team of the 3rd Brigade. You will lead the team yourself. If you can't catch the live tongue, don't come back to see me!"

    Brezhnev, commander of the 2nd Ural Infantry Division, rolled up his sleeves and shouted at a group of Soviet commanders in the brigade headquarters.

    "I obey, Comrade Division Commander! How many arrests must be made to count? Can the injured be counted?" Shasha Bishkayevich Denovka, commander of the 2nd Division Guard Battalion, saluted, but asked  It's a bit playful.

    "As long as you can breathe, you must be at least a lieutenant or above. The non-commissioned officers and the top soldiers know only a limited amount of information. Comrade Heskey, the brigade commander, wait for a sudden fire attack from the armored train, and then you personally organize a sortie to the northeast, Shasha  Their tongue-touching team went from the southeast, do you understand?" Brezhnev glared at his guard battalion commander, turned around and asked Hesky, the division chief of staff and commander of the third brigade.

    "Yes! Alexander Sergeyevich." Joel Hasanyevich Hesky, chief of staff of the 2nd Ural Infantry Division and commander of the 3rd Brigade, gave a salute. Apparently, the battle had not yet given way in the afternoon.  The fight was enjoyable. The White Guards came fiercely but their attack was weak. It seemed that their combat effectiveness had also been weakened a lot in the Battle of Chivelisk. This greatly enhanced the self-confidence of Comrade Chief of Staff.
