Kolchak.
He is the Supreme Ruler of Russia.
Mr. Prime Minister.
There is an uprising in Irkutsk.
You have nowhere to go.
Please let me come in.
Kappel's army is moving
in behind us
and we are prepared to
quell any resistance.
- May I come in?
- Certainly.
There is a telegram from Kappel...
from Kulomzino.
He bypassed Kulomzino
and is heading this way.
Quick! Put me through to General Kappel!
Your army must reach Irkutsk at all costs!
The city is rebelling.
I am heading there now.
Discharge your duty honorably!
Thank you!
My horse!
Why have they stopped firing?
Your Excellency,
we're out of ammunition.
- Run to Lozhkin and get some!
- None there either!
Headquarters... answer!
Lieutenant-General Voytsekhovsky
with an advance detachment...
We're being squeezed on the left flank.
- And we are out of ammunition.
- You may go.
- What about communications?
- We can't... Line's cut.
Keep trying!
- Answer, headquarters...
- Headquarters here.
Vladimir, how did you get here?
It's under fire.
Why have you ceased the offensive?
What offensive? We haven't
got a single bullet left.
I received Kolchak's telegram.
There's a rebellion in Irkutsk.
We must free the city.
We'll get through to the Admiral
Only we can save the city.
We need to attack.
- The rest of the army is on the way?
- We'll be dead by the time they come here.
Prepare for battle.
We have no other option.
Time is running out.
Sergei Nikolaevich, tell
the men to fall in.
Officers and soldiers!
Lads... We have nowhere to get ammunition.
To hell with them!
God is with us!
And with God and prayer
we have always defeated the
enemy and we will go on doing so!
All is in God's hands.
If we are destined to die
we will go down with honour!
We will go down with honour!
It's do or die now!
To faith, to the homeland,
Bayonets ahead - forward march!
Attach bayonets!
Vladimir Oskarovich, you can't.
You're leading the army.
Where are the musicians?!
Army Music! Quickly!
Music, I said!
Musicians - forward, march!
Close formation!
Into fire!
Lads - advance!
Music! Forward!
Hooray!
Eh, you got a woman...
Those bastards!
Get back!
Are we going to lay the Reds
by the Whites?
Together.
We are all God's people.
God didn't paint them
in different colours.
IRKUTSK,
GENERAL JANIN'S CONTROL HEADQUARTERS
- Greetings!
- I understand that you cannot suppress the
riot in Irkutsk
- General Janin!
- The situation is difficult.
You must ensure that my convoy
reaches Irkutsk.
The Czechs reject all their
obligations as Allies.
They have declared neutrality
and are evacuating.
They are tired and angry.
Admiral, the railway has already
been taken by partisans.
My garrison is blockaded there,
I have to go!
The Reds won't touch you,
if you go to Irkutsk
with the Czechs.
The outcome of the war depends on
how soon I will be in Irkutsk.
You must believe me.
I give you the word of an officer.
I guarantee your safety.
Only the convoy officers
will accompany me to Irkutsk.
All other ranks will remain with
their convoy in Nizhneudinsk.
Nizhneudinsk train station.
450 km to Irkutsk
Mr. Udintsov, it's time to go.
Yes, officers, please enter the carriage.
Admiral, I would ask you
not to leave the car at stations
and not to stand by the windows.
Tell nobody about your whereabouts.
- This is like being under arrest:
- No, sir Admiral. The workers are rebelling.
They demand to hand you over.
TRANS-SIBERIAN RAILROAD.
400 KM TO IRKUTSK
I wish we could just move on and on...
You know, Anna Vasilievna,
I never like traveling by train.
There really are Reds at the stations.
It's like sailing through a minefield.
Like when you were off the coast of Pillau?
Sergei Nikolaevich told me all about it.
I just wish we could meet
with Kappel now.
The Czechs have disarmed
our garrison in Irkutsk.
So what can the Admiral
accomplish now?
Kappel has 2,000 kilometers behind him.
In minus 40 weather. You
