As far back as June last these Russian troops linked up with the mounted Kirghis and furnished _commanding officers for the Kirghis cavalry. In the meantime disturbances broke out among the Orenburg Cossacks, and they too joined General Tsherbakoff's force, eventually coming in contact with the Orenburg troops at Koostanay. In July what remained of the Army Corps of General Bakitsh which had retired to the Chinese Altai where they had been actually interned by the Chinese authorities, moved away again through the Russian Altai in the direction of Biysk, being reinforced by the Orenburg troops and some detachments of marine infantry. In July General Tsherbakoff fought his way through to Semipalatinsk, and after four days of fierce fighting occupied this latter town.
