- In May of 1939, Russia and Japan entered into a border dispute about Outer
- Mongolia and Manchuria. While the land was of little value to either side,
- the issue of control finally led to open conlict. On May 28th, units of the
- Japanese 23rd Division crossed the border and into Russian territory. The
- Japanese had unwisely left their flanks weakened and the Russians were
- quick to take advantage. As the Japanese column trudge down the road, they
- were suprised to hear the sound of tanks heading their way.
