After the unsuccessful attack on 29 May, the command of the XI Red Army had to urgently involve new forces here. In particular, the 2 nd division of the 20 th rifle regiment led by Voytsekhovsky from the border of Georgia, as well as the 175 th and 176 th regiments, one light artillery division, an Armenian mountain battery and an armoured car division from Baku were involved in suppressing the rebellion. As a result, before the attack, the Bolsheviks had 5 infantry regiments, 6 cavalry regiments, 57 heavy artillery guns, 2 armoured car divisions and 6 armoured trains.
