Suffice it to say that on the same day the best commanders of the Reds were knocked out-
Egorov himself, Dumenko, and two divisional divisions were seriously injured.
On January 14, the fighters of Dumenko drove the Krasnovites from Dubovka,
and then under the command of Budyonny(Dumenko was sick) made a deep raid on the enemy's rear.
The Reds were covered by a rear guard- Dumenko cavalry regiments,
which retained their combat capability, destroyed the only railway and bridges, knocking down the pace of the enemy's movement.
