Soviet and Imperial Japanese Border Conflict '43

                                                         Japanese-Soviet Frontier 1943

 And tensions are High.

Disgusted with the Soviet-Japanese Neutrality Act, Kaigun-Taisa (Captain) Hirituma Hijo ordered Kaigun-Chu (Sub-Lieutenant) Tomoni Oho to take his elite detachment of Special Naval Landing Force (SNLF) troops and occupy the village of Toko-Ri (nominally in Soviet territory) and resist any Soviet attempts to claim the village.  

Upon hearing of the IJN moves through his spy network, Regional Soviet Commander Podpolkovnik (Lt. Colonel) Marko Petrov ordered Kapitan Igor Vilymvich to take his command and push the intruders out of Soviet territory by whatever means necessary. The Kapitan knew he had his work cut out for him as his best troops and equipment had long ago been sent West to face the Fascist threat to Mother Russia.

The Battlefield is ready, it will be a cold one as the pond and fields are frozen. 

Tomorrow the battle.
