Krasnov's army also arrived and together with Raulov's White Guards, launched an attack on Taritzin from three sides.

Taritzin is an important inland port in the lower reaches of the Volga River and the largest railway hub in southeastern Russia. Moreover, because the food, meat products, cotton and other important materials in Central Asia are basically transported here through the ports of the Caspian Sea, and then transported to northern Russia by railway, Moscow will not give up here easily. Under the mobilization of the All-Russian Soviet Committee, more than 50,000 Red Guards have gathered here, of which more than 30,000 were revolutionary Cossack soldiers, and their combat effectiveness is incomparable to those workers who have not received any military training.

According to the order of the Moscow All-Russian Soviet Committee, the Southern Russian Workers, Peasants and Soldiers, composed of three local Soviets, Taritzin, Saratov and Voronezh, was appointed as the chairman of the Military and Political Committee by Zhuyashvili, and Voroshilov was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the newly formed Red Guard Army.

The Southern Russian Soviet regime gave the order to defend Chalijin and never take a step back. At the same time, it ordered the recruitment of all men aged 15 to 56 in the Donhe District to join the army. Anyone who refused to join the army would be directly executed as counter-revolutionaries. Moreover, the Red Guards transferred from the north were continuously transferred to the southern line through railways to reinforce Chalijin's defense.

At this time, the total strength of the Red Guards led by Trosky was less than 500,000, but they had to deal with the Finnish rebellion Yudenic, the Nazarovdon River Army in the Donets region, the Rostov Volunteer Army in Kornilov, the Dutov Group in Orenburg, and the Denikin's Transcaucasian Legion. In terms of force, the Red Guards had no advantage.

The Austrians sent all the cannons they didn't need to be used to Russia. The Chinese Workers' Army and the White Guards had a total of more than 1,200 cannons, several times more than the Red Guards guarding Tarizin. The two sides launched a fierce tug-of-war around Tarizin, and the city turned into ruins in the Russians' own battle.

The battle lasted for a whole week. The White Army broke into the city with ruins from the north and southwest directions. The Red Guards had retreated to the side of the Volga River and were still resisting stubbornly with the support of the inland fleet. Most of the Red Army in the city had been eliminated, but a small number of the Red Guards still resisted stubbornly.

The entire city has been destroyed by artillery fire, and there are almost no complete buildings. There are ruins everywhere. The broken trees on both sides of the street are still emitting blue smoke. In the bloody dusk that enveloped the miserable atmosphere, the bodies discarded between the streets and rubble are lying everywhere. The pungent and disgusting smell of rotten corpses drifted in the wind.

The Chinese army followed the Bai Wei Army and advanced into the city, searching for the remaining enemies in the ruins of broken walls. The sound of guns and cannons had moved to the river bank, and occasionally cold guns would be shot from some ruins, which would immediately cause a burst of gunfire.

On August 5, Jiang Zuobin, commander-in-chief of the Ukrainian Chinese Workers Corps, accompanied by Chief of Staff Jiang Fangzhen, took an inland river ship along the Don River and arrived at Pichu Renskaya. Song Huanzhang, commander of the 7th Division of the Chinese Workers Corps, brought some officers and a team of guards to welcome their arrival on the dock. On the wide river surface, several inland gunboats "given" to the Don River Army were patrolling back and forth. Nazarov's Don River Corps crossed the Don River on the dock and rushed to Chalijin.

These senior commanders of the Chinese Workers' Corps, under the escort of the guards, got into the car and entered the front-line command center set up in the town. After a few hours, a senior meeting attended by officers at the brigade commander or above of the Chinese Workers' Corps began. Currently, there are 7 divisions in Ukraine, with about 330,000 people. These senior officers have a total of more than 70 people, and a large conference room is full of seats.

Chief of Staff Jiang Fangzhen presided over the meeting. He said directly at the beginning of the meeting: "Now many people are more concerned about when we can go home. Now the German-Australia alliance has basically reached an armistice agreement between Britain and the United States. We also had an agreement with Austro-Hungary. After the war in Europe, Germany and Austria will send ships to send us back to China in batches and retain existing equipment. It is expected that by November, after the Suez Canal is re-opened, we can return to China in batches. The government and the Ministry of Army have promised that the Warcraft Corps of the entirety will be incorporated into the government army, and you can still retain your existing positions."

This is good news, and it was suddenly noisy. These senior officers of the Chinese Workers' Army Corps were just officers who had just graduated from the Mainland University in China. At most, they were battalion-level officers, and some were graduates of Baoding Army School and at most were company commanders in China. Now they have jumped several levels in a row. If the Army Department and the General Staff Department can retain the existing organization, it will definitely be a major benefit for them. For many people, they are actually equivalent to having obtained an equal position with the generals of the provincial governors and generals.

"Okay, it's not time for everyone to be happy." Jiang Zuobin knocked on the table, interrupting the noise of the officers below. The lower part gradually became quiet. He continued: "Our goal now is to continue fighting with the Red Russia, forcing them to sign a peace treaty with us, and return the territory that invaded our country during the imperial Russian era."

"Regain territory? What is the boundary?" Wang Ruqin suddenly said.

"Based on the boundary line that is possible in the Treaty of Nebchu, we do not recognize any unequal treaties signed by the Qing government in the modern era." Jiang Zuobin said.

"But will the Russians agree?" Su Bingwen said, "With the Russian personality, he will not be willing to spit out the things in his mouth easily."

"So we fight with them until they are willing." Jiang Fangzhen said, "Hasn't the Chi and Russia recently issued a so-called "Declaration on China"?"

"Yes, we should help Chi Russia!" Huang Yisheng said, "Ri Russia claimed that they had given up on the imperial and Russian era and achieved all unequal benefits in China."

"But they did not say that they gave up the invading Chinese territory." Jiang Fangzhen said, "This is a very critical place."

"Who are we the negotiating targets, Red Russia or Belarus?" Song Huanzhang said.

"Red and Russian, these Belarus cannot become a climate, and Germany and Austria just want to support Belarus to form a local government. And judging from the current situation, the Don River Army and the Volunteer Army have their own ulterior motives and are both on their own ideas and are unwilling to join forces. Without the support of us and Germany and Austria, they cannot defeat the Red Army at all." Jiang Zuobin said, "The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has sent personnel to start negotiations with the Red and Russians. If the Red and Russians promise to give up the Far East and Siberia, we will start withdrawing our troops!"

"Where is Outer Mongolia?" said Yin Fuchen, who was born in Yi Jun.

"Mongolia is our territory, but it's just abolishing autonomy, and there's no need for Russians to intervene." Jiang Fangzhen said, "Recently, Deputy Chief Xu of the Army Department wants to come over on behalf of General Duan. Everyone should consider it!"

Recently, the political situation in China has been unstable. Sun Wen established a "law protection government" in Guangzhou with the support of the warlords in the southwest. Xu Shuzheng also had a quarrel with Sun Hongyi, the Minister of Internal Affairs of the Presidential Office. Duan Qirui launched a brisk sending Xiao Xu to Europe, which can ease the conflicts with the Presidential Office, and on the other hand, it can also gain military power for him.

Xiao Xu is coming.

Some people are indeed happy and some are sad.
