At July 22, People Army of Komuch together with Czechoslovak Legion (about 3,300 men with 4 cannons in common) captured Simbirsk and on August 1, began to move north in the direction of Kazan.

At the same time two Czechoslovak Battalions landed 5 km down-stream of Kazan and began to advance, but this was stopped by the Latvian Riflemen.

During the night part of red troops began to breakthrough to the east, in Sviyazhsk direction, with another group escaping to the north, to the Arsk.

But one of the most sensational results was the capture of the Gold Reserves of the Russian Empire, moved to Kazan during the First World War for safety.

Losses of my detachment - 25 men, troops fought fine.According to William Henry Chamberlin, "Later this gold came into the possession of the Siberian dictator, Kolchak; part of it was spent in buying munitions and other supplies abroad; part of it leaked out of the country in various ways when Kolchak fell; some of the gold was recovered by the Red troops.
