Khopyor–Don Operation
The Khopyor–Don Operation (November 20 – December 8, 1919) was an offensive during the Russian Civil War of the 9th Army of the Southeastern Front of the Red Army, reinforced by the Cavalry Corps of the 10th Army, against the forces of the Don Army, in order to ensure the stability of the left wing of the Southern Front of the Red Army and reach the Don River. Prelude The Red Army had successfully conducted the Voronezh-Kastornensk Operation, defeating the troops of the AFSR.

By the time the operation began, the Don Army commanded by General Vladimir Sidorin, held a defensive line over Bobrov, Berezovka, and Archedinskaya. His forces amounted to about 13,700 bayonets, 13,200 sabers, 90 guns and 500 machine guns. The Red 9th Army, under command o ...
