Kazys Ladyga was appointed as the commander of the new front,[3] and ordered the 2nd Infantry Regiment to begin an attack on Radviliškis on 20 November.

[1] Stasys Butkus [lt], a soldier volunteer, recalled that the day was marked by heavy snowing,[5] during which his contingent was led by a local Lithuanian farmer who showed them the trail.

[6] Lieutenant Serafinas Oželas managed to break through into Radviliškis, briefly capturing the cemetery before retreating due to a lack of support.

Artillery support suppressed enemy fire as small parts of the army broke into the city and fell back.

[1] A new offensive commenced five hours later as various infantry companies surrounded the city, with the heaviest fighting occurring at Maironis street and the local windmill, which was used as a fortification consisting of machine guns.

French general and delegate Henri Niessel, representing the Entente powers, demanded that the fight with Bermontians be halted and that they would be safely evacuated into Germany.
