Khanzhin 's Western Army.
Having no reserves, General Khanzhin requested reinforcements from Kolchak.
Kolchak was represented by the“emergency three”- General Khanzhin(Minister of War),
Cherven-Vodali(head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs) and Larionov(Ministry of Railways).
The offensive of the Western Army Khanzhin led to the breakthrough of the center of the Eastern Front of the Red Army.
Meanwhile, the Khanzhin corps were moving farther and farther apart from each
other across the vast expanses of Russia, losing a weak link between them.
From Siberia at the disposal of Khanzhin, the only reserve of Kolchak's army-
Kappel's corps, which had not yet completed its formation, was hastily transferred.
As a result, the Western army of Khanzhin was defeated,
the Reds began to go to the flank and rear of the Siberian Army and all its previous successes were devalued.
The strike group of Khanzhin's Western Army(it was one of Kolchak's best commanders)
found the enemy's weak spot and attacked the 5 and 2 armies in the free space between the inner flanks.
Having defeated the Khanzhin shock group that had been pulled out far ahead,
now the reds in the center of the front had a wedge 300- 400 km of approximately the same width into the“white” territory.
The Western Army under the command of General M. Khanzhin, commander of the 3 Urals Corps,
was established on the basis of the 3 Urals Corps of the Samara and Kama Group of Forces(hereinafter the 8 Ufa and 9 Volga Corps).
Meanwhile, while on the left flank of the army, Khanzhin was threatened,
the head of the clip of the Western Army, which had already decreased to 18- 22 thousand bayonets, continued its march towards the Volga, despite signs of a catastrophe approaching.
On May 2, Khanzhin informed the Kolchak headquarters that a Kuren(regiment)
named after Shevchenko from the 6 corps raised a riot, killed his officers and officers from the 41 and 46 regiments, and took the 2 guns, went over to the Reds.
