Overview:

On 9 August 1945 the Russians unleashed a massive offensive aiming to destroy the Japanese Kwantung Army in Manchuria. Russian naval forces would capture the vital port of Chongjin and cut the Japanese supply route. Led by twice-Hero of the Soviet Union Lieutenant Viktor Leonov, the 140th Reconnaissance Detachment - predecessors of the post-war Spetsnaz troops - would, together with an automatic weapons company from 390th Separate Naval Infantry Battalion, conduct a reconnaissance-in-force before the main assault. In the early morning hours, under the protection of a msoke screen, the naval scouts landed near the town. Advancing into Chongjin, Leonov decided to attempt to secure the highway and railroad bridges. With the Japanese garrison alerted, the advance soon turned into fierce street fighting.- - - - "Forging Spetsnaz" is a 6-turn city fight where both sides get to attack. The Russian Spetsnaz need to clear away the Japanese police troops and either destroy or seize the bridges before the truck-mounted Japanese counterattack hits them.
