== Battle ==
Originally prior to the deployment of Chemgotan Cavalry, the Chemgotan Light Infantry and Scouts were dispatched to detect any Russian activity westward around Artyk, Yakutia where they managed to reach Oymyakon and engaged in a skirmish with the Russian forces, ultimately being overrun by the Russian defenders, information was eventually relayed back to the forward operation base at Artyk which at the time was amidst the process of capturing the strategically important settlement of Ust-Nera for a desperate gamble to take control over the Kolyma Highway towards Yakutsk. After the Battle of Ust-Nera was won, Chemgotan forces now focused on Oymyakon which at the time, Russian forces under command of General Koryavov Androniki were preparing an assault into Chemgotan territory to recapture lost settlements which were seized by the Chemgotan advances. As time was running thin for the Chemgotan forces to stop Androniki's ambitions. Chemgotan Cavalry which mostly acted as reconnaissance, infiltrators and logistic support. Now were used for their original purpose once more to rush enemy forces quickly and rapidly in a frontal charge. Gathered by Cavalry Commander Yeltsov Vsevolod from Magadan, 35,000 Chemgotan Cavalry were sent to Oymyakon to delay the Russian advances into Chemgotan held territory, what then ensued was a brutal battle. Initially the Chemgotan Cavalry faced minimal resistance as they picked off pockets and small units of Russian Infantry which were slaughtered by frequent ambushes and being surrounded by surprise by Chemgotan Cavalry, however when the main objective turned into the offensive, Chemgotan horsemen led by Vsevolod assaulted the settlement of Oymyakon itself, with entrenched enemy forces firing machine guns, artillery, rockets and small arms towards the Cavalry. With a stroke of luck the Chemgotan forces managed to breakthrough the Russian positions outside of Oymyakon and dismounted, engaging in brutal hand to hand combat over the trenches within the vicinity of Oymyakon. The battle eventually ended and concluded with the Russian forces surrendering to the Chemgotan Cavalry and Koryavov taken as a prisoner of war with the rest of his Division for the remaining duration of the war.
