Since there was almost no infrastructure in the area and everything had to be transported several hundred kilometers for both sides, I decided that the player can recruit additional units in the conquered depots if necessary, as there is no other way to represent it.

Are you writing Khalkhin Gol now?

In the third decade of August 1939, the Soviet and Mongolian troops defeated the superior Japanese militarist grouping in the Khalkhin-Gol River area. A great contribution to the defeat of the Japanese militia was made by railway workers, who managed to deliver to the battlefields a huge amount of military cargo from the nearest station of the Transbaikal railroad - Borzya, which was 650 kilometers away from the combat zone.

Yes first mission. Mongol cavalry is surrounded and has to fight its way out. Help comes from outside. 4 Mongol units must survive and the enemy depots must be conquered.

Mongolia was the next place to try out. The Japanese, developing the territory of Manchuria under their control, were pulling the railroad towards the Soviet border - towards Chita. About fifteen kilometers from the border between Mongolia and Manchuria began the first spurs of the Khingan Range, and in the section of the Khalkhin-Gol Mongolian border formed a large ledge towards Manchuria. Thus, the Japanese had to either build a railroad through the mountains or run it close to the border within gunshot. Capturing the right bank of the Khalkhin-Gol River would have put the USSR “in its place,” tested its resolve to further aggravate relations with Japan, and secured the road. The nearest railway station on the Soviet side, Borzya, was about 700 km from the site of the proposed fighting, in Mongolia there were no railroads at all, and on the Japanese side of the station Hailar was only 100 km away. To the nearest settlement, Tamtsak-Bulak, was 130 kilometers of desert steppe. Thus, the Soviet troops would have been cut off from supply bases, and the Mongolian army posed no serious threat to the Japanese.
From the beginning of 1939, the Japanese shelled Mongolian outposts and small groups crossed the border, and in May, with the support of aviation, several sections of Mongolian territory were occupied. The USSR moved its units to the Khalkhin-Gol River area (in March an order was given to move a task force of the 11th Tank Brigade to Tamtsak-Bulak). On May 28-29, a group of Japanese soldiers on a truck, having met a Soviet T-37 tank, threw a couple of gasoline canisters from the body. When the tank ran over one of the canisters, it was engulfed in flames. This incident may have been the impetus for the use of gasoline bottles against tanks. On May 29, 5 flamethrower tanks XT-26 also made their debut, defeating a Japanese reconnaissance detachment. However, as a whole by the results of the May battles the Soviet troops withdrew to the western bank of the Khalkhin-Gol. On June 12, G.K. Zhukov became the commander of the 57th Special Corps in Mongolia

But if you have too precise an idea and expectations and leave no room for maneuver, you may be disappointed.

[Tobi72]

As with Lake Khasan, I will stay as close to the story as possible.

Dear friend as you learn to make maps and interesting plots I am also learning to play, thanks to you I am now learning the charms of fighting Americans in the mountains with the Germans ) Of course when I lose I get angry but I change tactics and improve them ) All your creations I try to pass honestly - cheats only in very extreme cases or for technical reasons ) I think and believe that we work honestly in tandem you set tasks I fulfill them, yes not always immediately and not always correctly but I believe that the rest will be easier to pass once passed one will pass and others the most important thing is to have the desire and opportunity ) I hope online translator did not distort the meaning of my words )

As with Lake Khasan, I will stay as close to the story as possible.

Well you lied a little bit there with the railroad gun for example, but it was fun as hell )))

Every Mongolian fought in World War II
In 1942-45, the “Mongolian Arat” aviation squadron and the “Revolutionary Mongolia” tank brigade, created at the expense of the Mongolian People's Republic, fought on the Soviet-German front. Of course, a few dozen fighters and tanks look pale against the general background. But in the east of our country, where the USSR had to keep a million-strong group against Japan during the war, the Mongols played quite a strategic role.
In 1941-44 the number of armed forces of the Mongolian People's Republic was quadrupled, a new law on universal military duty was adopted, according to which all men and women of Mongolia were obliged to perform military service. During World War II, non-military Mongolia spent over 50% of the state budget on its armed forces. The increased Mongolian troops became an additional counterweight to the Japanese Kwantung Army. All this gave the USSR an opportunity to take from the Far East additional forces, several divisions, which were already a noticeable value even on the scale of the huge Soviet-German front.
In August 1945, one in ten Mongols took part in the Soviet-Japanese war. Five Mongolian divisions, together with the Soviet troops, with battles reached the Great Wall of China on the far approaches to Beijing. We consider this war to have been quick and easy with few casualties against the backdrop of the monstrous carnage of the Great Patriotic War. But for Mongolia, with a population of only 800 thousand people, it was quite a different scale - every (every!) male Mongolian of conscription age took part in the war with the Japanese. Here Mongolia surpassed Stalin's USSR in terms of “mobilization tension”. In percentage terms, the losses Mongolia suffered in that August 1945 war were equal to the U.S. losses in all of World War II. So for our Mongolian allies, the Soviet-Japanese war was neither easy nor painless.

That's the leeway I need, or let's call it a certain artistic freedom.

The first test shows that the Manchukuo units are stronger in attack than expected.

While I have to fend off the attacks to the north and west, I have my first success in the south. A depot is captured and I can deploy new troops of my choice after eliminating the weakened enemy unit.

The Mongol cavalry still has to fend off the attacks for a short time before it can break out, the enemy is still too strong and would cause a massacre with machine guns and mortars, and 4 units have to survive.

That's fine but if the company is historical it's better to stick to certain realities of those years )

Very interesting pictures you have, I wish I could play myself ) That the Japanese and their allies are strong is good the main thing is that the Mongolian army should be at its best )

[Tobi72]

As soon as the campaign is ready, I can make it available for you to test, but please be patient.

I am currently installing a new unit from Phcas, the Russian flamethrower tank XT-26.

Of course I'll wait as long as it takes )
Oh chemical tanks in WWII they will already be called flamethrower tanks )

From the beginning of 1939, the Japanese shelled Mongolian outposts and crossed the border in small groups, and in May, with the support of aviation, several sections of Mongolian territory were occupied. The USSR moved its units to the Khalkhin-Gol River area (in March an order was given to move a task force of the 11th Tank Brigade to Tamtsak-Bulak). On May 28-29, a group of Japanese soldiers on a truck, having met a Soviet T-37 tank, threw a couple of gasoline canisters from the body. When the tank ran over one of the canisters, it was engulfed in flames. This incident may have been the impetus for the use of gasoline bottles against tanks. On May 29, 5 flamethrower tanks XT-26 also made their debut, defeating a Japanese reconnaissance detachment. However, as a whole, as a result of the May battles, the Soviet troops withdrew to the western bank of the Khalkhin-Gol.

Combat application
Post No. 4
The baptism of fire of chemical tanks took place during the battles with the Japanese at Lake Khasan in August 1938. Here during the Japanese-Soviet border conflict in the 2nd Mechanized Brigade of the Red Army operated 9 HT-26. These tanks took part in the battles to storm the Zaozernaja height, but they were not very successful - the terrain was not very good for the use of tanks, and steep slopes of Zaozernaja made it difficult for the HT-26s to approach the Japanese positions within shooting distance. During these battles, 1 HT-26 was lost.

A year later chemical tanks again entered the battle against the Japanese, supporting the Soviet-Mongolian troops in the battles near the Khalkhin-Gol River. This time their actions were more active.
By the beginning of the conflict (May 1939), the 11th Tank Brigade of the 57th Special Corps of the Red Army, stationed in the Mongolian People's Republic, had two companies of HT-26 - 10 tanks. These tanks were supposed to be used only for flamethrowing, so the warehouses had seven refills of flamethrower for each HT-26.
The first battle on the Khalkhin-Gol was fought on May 27-28 during the defeat of the Japanese-Manchurian detachment under the command of Colonel Yamagato. In the course of the battle on May 28, thanks to the action of HT-26 was completely defeated Japanese reconnaissance detachment of Lieutenant Colonel Azuma numbering 220 people, which came to the rear of our units.
On July 5, 1939, during the battles in the area of Bain-Tsagan Mountain, the 2nd Battalion of the 11th Tank Brigade received an order to prevent the enemy from breaking through to the Khalkhin-Gol crossing. During the attack of 15 BT-5s and 5 HT-26s the Japanese advance was stopped, but 7 BT-5s and 5 HT-26s were burned.
In subsequent battles where flame-throwing tanks were used, the Japanese invariably abandoned their hiding places without showing steadfastness. For example, on July 12, a detachment of Japanese in a reinforced company with 4 anti-tank guns penetrated deep into our location and, despite repeated attacks, put up stubborn resistance. Introduced only one chemical tank, which gave a stream of fire on the center of resistance caused panic in the ranks of the enemy, the Japanese from the front line of trenches fled deep into the pit and came up our infantry, occupying the crest of the pit, this detachment was finally destroyed.
On July 20, 1939, the 2nd company of the 2nd Chemical Tank Brigade arrived in the area of the Khalkhin-Gol River with 18 HT-130s with ten refills of fire mixtures. However, it turned out that the personnel of the company is very poorly prepared for flamethrowing. Therefore, before the company went directly to the area of combat operations with them were conducted practical training on flamethrowing and studied the combat experience already available to tank chemists of the 11th Tank Brigade.
On August 1, 1939, two platoons of HT-130s took part in the battle. The tanks supported with fire the infantry attack of the 601st Rifle Regiment, and 2 HT-130s were lost.
With the arrival of the 6th Tank Brigade, which had 9 HT-26s, the troops of the 1st Army Group had 16 HT-26s and 16 HT-130s by the beginning of the offensive (August 20, 1939) (3 HT-26s and 2 HT-130s were lost in the battles of August 1 - 2).
During the August operation (August 20 - 29), all chemical tanks took an active part in the battle, with the most intensive work being August 23 -26. During these days, HT-130 and HT-26 went to attack 6-11 times each. During this period, the 2nd Chemical Company lost 5 HT-130s, but all of them were restored and took part in the fighting until the complete liquidation of the encircled Japanese grouping.

Then I need some clarification. The translation of the article from the internet said something about flamethrowers. How was this tank used?

[Tobi72]

Or to put it another way... which category or designation would be appropriate?

As with any other tank first breakthrough then burning out pockets of resistance only these machines still burned out fire and this is a psychologically scary moment that even the most motivated and fanatically-minded enemy fighters can tremble abandoning their positions )
