history
In February 1904, the 4th Siberian Army Corps was set up in the Amur Military District under the command of Lieutenant General Nikolai Sarubajew .
During the Russo-Japanese War , it took part in the battles of Tashihchiao , Liaoyang and Mukden . The army corps was part of the Russian armed forces that were supposed to re-establish the connection with the besieged Port Arthur . The attempt at relief failed, however, because the army corps was exposed to repeated attacks by the Japanese 2nd Army , which pushed the Russians further and further towards Mukden along the Port Arthur-Mukden railway line.
The Army Corps took part in World War I and was disbanded in 1918.
