Participation in the Russo-Japanese War After the start of the Russo-Japanese War, he again entered military service, this time forever. The baron volunteered for the active army and was assigned to the 2nd regiment of the Transbaikal Cossack Army.

In January 1919, for some time he commanded the Volunteer Army, and from January 1919, the Caucasian Volunteer Army. He was in strained relations with the commander-in-chief, General A. I. Denikin, as he demanded a speedy offensive in the Tsaritsyn direction to join the army of Admiral A. V. Kolchak. On April 2, 1920, Commander-in-Chief General Denikin decided to resign from his post. The next day, a military council was convened in Sevastopol, chaired by General Dragomirov, at which Wrangel was elected commander-in-chief. On April 11, P. N. Wrangel accepted the title of “Ruler and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces in the South of Russia.”

Leader of the White Movement When taking office as Commander-in-Chief of the AFSR, Wrangel saw his main task not as fighting the Reds, but as the task of “bringing the army out of a difficult situation with honor.” General Wrangel quickly and decisively reorganized the army and renamed it “Russian” on April 28, 1920. Cavalry regiments are replenished with horses. He is trying to strengthen discipline with harsh measures. Equipment is also starting to arrive. The coal delivered on April 12 allows the White Guard ships, which had previously been standing without fuel, to come to life. And Wrangel, in his orders for the army, already speaks of getting out of a difficult situation “not only with honor, but also with victory.” Government of the South of Russia.

The version about the poisoning of Wrangel by an NKVD agent is also expressed by Alexander Yakovlev in his book “Twilight”. He was buried in Brussels. Subsequently, Wrangel's ashes were transferred to Belgrade, where they were solemnly reburied on October 6, 1929 in the Russian Church of the Holy Trinity in the Serbian capital.
