Olankhuduk, Manchukuo 1936-02-03 (0 others)

Overview:

The Soviet Union and Japan had both established puppet states on the Mongolian-Manchurian border. The Mongolian Peoples Republic was the Soviet client state and Manchukuo was the Japanese client state in Manchuria. In the desolate and desert-like border between these two countries, periodic clashes occurred between MPRA units and Manchukuoan border guards during January 1936. In early February, Lt.Col. Sugimoto Yasuo was ordered to form a detachment and clear the Olankhuduk region of MPRA intruders. Sugimoto put together a truck-borne force consisting of Japanese cavalry, supplemented with tankettes, cavalry guns and Manchukuoan cavalry. On 12 February, the Sugimoto force attacked an MPRA cavalry unit estimated at 140 horsemen with light artillery, machine guns and 3 vehicles.
