Any suggestions on capturing Tsaritsyn?

Playing as the Western Whites, the capture of Tsaritsyn can bring a huge amount of benefits such as the alliance with the Ukrainian Nationalists. The problem is that it is a fortified town and the Reds have stationed fuck tone of troops in there. Even if you are to siege it with all of your starting armies it is very hard to get any breaches and the enemy will still defeat you despite of your better leaders and numerical superiority. Recently I discovered that you can play both the Western and Eastern Whites factions simultaneously if you save the game and then reload as the Eastern Whites so I thought that I can coordinate both of these factions towards that goal. For example I can use the Komuch Volga flotilla in order to blockade the port but I can't use the bombard fort option (maybe because the guns on those ships don't have enough range) and I can't really support the siege with any of the Eastern White armies because either they are not very numerous and thus won't really contribute a great deal and/or can't traverse the Volga because the Reds are going to placate me. Is Tsaritsyn even worth it? Any suggestions on capturing it? As the Eastern Whites do I have access to any ships that can bombard forts in the recruitment pool? Thanks.
