    "Karl Ivanovich, why are you making such a fuss? The front military headquarters has called you back for an emergency military meeting. Do you still have organizational discipline in your eyes?" Kamenev, political commissar of the front military, directed angrily at Bel.  Jin Dao.

    "But, Lev Borisovich, my political commissar comrade, I am commanding from the front line. The 2nd Ural Infantry Division is facing the attack of Kolchak's three main divisions. There are at least two armored trains on the other side.  There are no less than 4 artillery companies in the column. I am organizing the defense line at the 2nd Division Headquarters to prepare for a counterattack after dark. What can't be said on the phone? You have to call me all the way back, just for a meeting. Chief of Staff Mere  Can¡¯t Ninov represent the Third Army?¡±

    Although Berzin was puzzled in his heart, he refused to admit defeat. In his opinion, the tentative attack and defense in the town of Kostovo was just a prelude to the defense of Nizhny Novgorod. After nightfall, he could not protect the opposite Gorcha.  What else can the Kebai Guards do, and as far as Berzin himself is concerned, he hopes to launch a local counterattack on both wings at night, grab a few tongues and come back to completely understand the situation on the offensive side.

    I was just rolling up my sleeves and planning to give Kolchak a good beating, when suddenly he was called back all the way, which made everyone angry!

    "Karl Ivanovich, the front army headquarters has just received an urgent telegram from Moscow. Kolchak's main force has moved south from Cheboksary, and its destination is unknown. The enemy left behind in Cheboksary will not exceed  Five divisions, maybe only three divisions! Tell me, how can the enemy across the town of Kostovo have as many as three divisions?" Chernavin, the chief of staff of the front army, patted the telegram on the table angrily.  draft!

    "What? Where did the information come from? This is crazy!" Berzin was shocked when he heard this. He couldn't believe his ears. He turned to look at his chief of staff and the generals of the Fifth Army, and found that everyone was not there.  Not surprised, just frowning a bit in a daze. Apparently, he already knew the contents of Moscow¡¯s emergency telegram.

    Berzin didn¡¯t care to think about it, he stepped forward and grabbed the telegram that Chernavin was picking up, and hurriedly unfolded it, only to see that it read:

    To Nizhny Novgorod

    Volga Military District and Front Headquarters

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

    July 27, 1918 17:50

    Moscow has just received battlefield reconnaissance information from the Volga Federation. The main force of Kolchak's White Guard troops went south in two directions. Their whereabouts and purpose are unknown. The enemy left behind in Cheboksary does not exceed the strength of five divisions. According to our analysis, high  The Erchak gang is probably brewing a huge conspiracy. Its main force gave up attacking Nizhny Novgorod and turned south. The goal is probably to target the First Army and the Budyonny Cavalry Army who are resting and replenishing in Sarask.

    Of course, it is not ruled out that the enemy may feint a shot and attack the flanks of the 10th Army and the 8th Army. Moscow requires the Volga Front to find out the deployment and configuration of the enemy's forces as soon as possible, confirm the accuracy of the above intelligence, and  The 1st, 8th and 10th armies and the Budyonni Cavalry Corps were immediately notified to step up their alert.

    At the same time, the Volga Front Army Headquarters should come up with a corresponding combat plan as soon as possible and report it to Moscow. Kolchak is a very cunning and dangerous enemy. It is hoped that the various units of the Volga River Front Army will be more vigilant, learn lessons, and avoid repeating the war.  Being confused by the enemy's feints, battlefield reconnaissance must ensure accuracy and timeliness.

    You are required to find out the situation and come up with a new battle plan before midnight, we will be waiting here!

    Also: After emergency diplomatic mediation and consultation, 30 Russian artillery batteries purchased from Germany will arrive in Moscow tomorrow morning, and will arrive in Nizhny Novgorod by the afternoon of tomorrow to be assigned to the 3rd and 5th units.  The artillery of the remaining 20 artillery companies will also enter the country the day after tomorrow. We plan to transfer it directly to Saransk by train, where the 1st Army and the Budyonni Cavalry Army are in urgent need of artillery equipment and weapons.

    The situation is complex, volatile and urgent. All commanders and soldiers of the Volga Military District and Front Army must unite around the Moscow Central and Volga Military District and Front Revolutionary Military Committees, obey the command of the former enemy headquarters of the Volga Front Army, and resolutely crush the  Attack of the Kolchak gang.

    Victory belongs to the glorious Soviet Red Army, victory belongs to the Soviets!  Moscow is watching you!

    Central Committee of the Soviet Union

    Chairman Ulyanov

    Supreme Military Council of the Soviet Union

    Chairman Trotsky, Vice Chairman Sverdlov

    From Moscow

    "Is the situation clear? Karl Ivanovich, comrades, we have spent so much effort preparing for a battle to defend Nizhny Novgorod and transform Nizhny Novgorod.Gorod is the next Tsaritsyn, which is good. Kolchak's main force has already gone south, and its destination is unknown!  What kind of problem is this?  What do the defenders and scouts on the front line do for food?  "Voroshilov, deputy commander of the front army and former enemy commander-in-chief, had a livid face and couldn't help but slap the table!

    After reading this telegram, no matter how arrogant and arrogant Comrade Karl Ivanovich Berzin was, he knew that he was probably confused and deceived by the feints of Kolchak's White Guards. Otherwise, how could he always say that he  I felt that the behavior of the White Guards in front of me was a bit strange and fierce, but the pride of the commander of the Third Army made him unwilling to accept that this was probably the reality in front of him.

    This guy couldn¡¯t help but slap the telegram manuscript in his hand on the table, and shouted the same,

    "Kliment Yefremovich, after the Third Army retreated from Cheboksary, it was the local Soviets and local armed forces that held back the enemy in the 220-kilometer section from Cheboksary to Nizhny Novgorod.  There are also various reconnaissance detachments under the direct command of the front army headquarters, and it is not just my third group army that is on the front line!" The smell of gunpowder in Berzin's words was obviously not light.

    "I agree with this, Comrade Deputy Commander. After our Third Army retreated from Cheboksary, it was the reconnaissance unit commanded by the front army headquarters that was responsible for monitoring the enemy. The intelligence fed back from the front line never stated that Kolchak was found.  The main force turned around and went south, why should the troops be divided into two groups?" Merzheninov, chief of staff of the Third Army, said at the side.

    In Mezheninov's view, the intelligence transferred from Moscow was probably true, but the responsibility for failing to detect the enemy's situation in person cannot be entirely blamed on the Third Army. It can only be said that Kolchak was too cunning, or, in other words,  After the Soviet Red Army retreated, the various reconnaissance detachments were frightened by the enemy's offensive and ran away at the slightest sign of trouble. In addition, the White Guard commander who stayed behind in Cheboksary was surprisingly bold
