On July 23, 1918, 10:35, Kolchak Front Command, five kilometers southeast of Tsevilisk

"Alexander Vasilievich, although the failure of the 1st Infantry Division of Kazan is a pity, isn't it our original intention to transfer the opponent's armored train? Moreover, the casualties of the opponent will never be smaller than ours. I think let the ambushing artillery positions of the Southwest Cluster open fire, and together with the artillery soldiers of the Central Cluster, kill the opponent's armored train!" Chief of Staff Hastings walked aside.

"But, my chief of staff, the enemy only came with one armored train. If we exposed the artillery positions of the southwest cluster, then the other two armored trains on the other side caught up and counterattacked, and our position was not as fast as the other side moved on the railway!"

Kolchak was not confused at all. If the Soviet Red Army had all three armored trains on the southwest defense line rushed over to help, he would have ordered two artillery groups to open fire at the same time and be sure to knock out the opponent's armored train.

But at this moment, the other party only came over, and obviously had a backup plan. If the southwest artillery cluster that was ambushed and not fired in advance, it will not only alert the enemy, but also easily lead to the opponent's subsequent counterattack of the armored train.

"Alexander Vasilievich, if we don't knock out the opponent's armored train, the enemy will not send new armored trains to reinforce, because with this train they can stabilize the right wing front. Otherwise, we will let the artillery in the cluster fire first. Anyway, the position has been exposed, and it will be a great price to kill the three artillery soldiers of the opponent. At least 6 cannons will withdraw from the battle!" Hastings said anxiously.

"Okay! The artillery cluster opened fire across the board, the target was the enemy's armored train. Be sure to intercept it and turn it into scrap iron!" Kolchak thought for a while and agreed to Hastings' suggestion.

In fact, the armored train that came to reinforce from the rear of the right wing position of the Soviet Red Army was still a little far away from the position of the First Ural Infantry Division, about 1 kilometer. At this moment, when the remaining six artillery companies in the Bai Guard artillery turned their guns and bombarded the northwest, the armored train of the Soviet Red Army had quickly started and retreated to the northwest direction. The Bai Guard artillery shells hit the back of the armored train one after another, and they exploded one by one and chased the train behind, but they were not on fire.

"Damn it, these Bolsheviks are not stupid at all. They take advantage of us and want to escape! What do we do in the cluster of artillery soldiers? Do you know how to measure them in advance? Hit the front of the other party's car!" Kolchak saw the iron armored train on the other party's carriage leaving in the telescope, and most of the shells fired by the artillery soldiers on the middle road fell behind the iron armored train due to the time difference, which made the commander-in-chief of the Bai Guard a little angry!

"It is said that the Southwest Cluster Artillery opened fire on all sides, and could not stop the armored train of the Soviet Red Army. All the artillery commanders were dismissed and investigated! It is simply outrageous!" Before Hastings persuaded, Kolchak turned his head and shouted at the combat staff!

Hastings, the chief of staff of the White Guard, also saw this scene in the telescope. The guy was so angry that he was anxious, but he instinctively felt that it was a bit unblocked to expose the Southwest Cluster artillery too early. But since Kolchak had already given the order, he couldn't stop him anymore, so he had to add a sentence,

"In addition, I will send the artillery company in the cluster to transfer the position to the west, so the speed should be fast! Prepare to deal with the enemy's subsequent reinforcements of the artillery trains, and send them to the Southeast Cluster Artillery Observation Post, and pay close attention to the reinforcement direction of the armored train behind the opponent's left wing position! No fire is allowed without orders! Commander-in-Chief, what do you think?"

"Well, that's it, why didn't the Southwest Cluster artillery fire? These fat guys couldn't stop this Soviet Red Army armored train, and the artillery commander shot me all!" Kolchak watched the other party's armored train that had taken advantage of him in the telescope and drove farther and farther away, while the ambushed Southwest Cluster artillery position did not fire for a long time, and he shouted without a single blow.

Finally, after a few dozen seconds of suffocation, the artillery cluster in the southwest of the Bai Guard Army finally opened fire. Six artillery companies 18 mountain artillery cannons roared like earth and mountains, and the shells roared out and smashed into the fasting Soviet-Russian armored train, and then exploded forward, backward, left and right on the armored train.

After being hit by this sudden and dense artillery fire, the armored train began to turn the guns and fight back, but the armored train's steps became staggering, and the carriage hit by the Baiwei Army's artillery fire continued to explode, and heavy machine guns and vehicle-mounted artillery were also damaged.

The Soviet-Russian iron-armored train also carried 18 artillery artillery companies, but the shooting accuracy was very poor. Therefore, the artillery counterattack of the iron-armored train could not effectively suppress the firepower of the six artillery companies in the southwestern artillery cluster of the Bai Guards. Finally, after driving more than 3 kilometers away, the power locomotive of the iron-armored train was hit by several artillery shells from the Bai Guards and exploded. The armored train, which had lost its power, finally stopped on the railway line.

The infantry carried on the armored train jumped out of the carriage and evacuated to the trenches on the nearby Soviet Red Army defense line to avoid artillery shells. The brave artillery soldiers were unyieldingly guarding the lost power of the armored train and engaged in artillery battles with the Bai Guard artillery positions in the southwest. Since one-third of the artillery on the Soviet armored train had been injured and destroyed by the opponent's dense artillery fire during the retreat, the artillery fire of the armored train was obviously inferior to the firepower of the Bai Guard's southwest artillery cluster in the distance.

"It's good! I was finally not run away by the opponent! Chief of staff, the artillery soldiers in the cluster were notified to move their positions quickly and move to the southwest direction, preparing to join the artillery battle in the southwest direction. I guess the opponent will soon reinforce the remaining armored trains to this direction to save their armored trains!"

Kolchak saw from the telescope that the other party's armored train finally stopped like a dead snake and was shot by his artillery. He couldn't help but order happily.

"Why are you still standing there? Please convey the order as stated by the commander-in-chief. In addition, inform the Southeast Artillery Cluster that the armored train from the other side's left wing position will not be allowed to come for reinforcements. As long as the other side appears, I will use artillery fire to intercept the other side!" Hastings' mood also rose and shouted at the combat staff.

This guy was worried that if the Soviet Red Army had all arrived and gathered to fire together, the mobility of the 20 artillery companies of the Bai Guards would not be as fast as that of the other party's armored train! Don't beat the war at that time.
