The Battle of Peregonovka (Russian: Битва под Перегоновкой) or Battle of Perehonivka (Ukrainian: Битва під Перегонівкою) was a September 1919 military conflict in which the Revolutionary Insurgent Army of Ukraine defeated the Volunteer Army. After retreating west across Ukraine for four months and 600 kilometers, the Insurgent Army turned east and surprised the Volunteer Army. The Insurgent Army reclaimed its capital of Huliaipole within ten days.
В целом махновцам противостояло 20 тыс. штыков и 10 тыс. сабель.[In general, the Makhnovists were opposed by 20,000 bayonets and 10,000 sabres.]
