Pok'ot'u

According to my information Soviet troops advanced as far as Chalainor some fifty miles within the western frontier of Manchuria, and Soviet gunboats raided Fuchin, fifty miles within the northern frontier. Pok’ot’u, about two hundred miles from the frontier, was bombed by Soviet aircraft.

Fortifications prepared or planned by the Japanese were generally located to block critical areas or passes through the Greater Khingan Range. Examples of these were the fortifications from Hailar to Pok'ot'u which blocked the Manchouli—Tsitsihar—Harbin axis, and the fortifications between Arshan and Solun, which blocked the Arshan—Solun axis (Ma[p] 14) .[…] A division-and-brigade-sized force crossed the border in a southerly direction in the vicinity of Manchouli and turned east toward Hailar. Then both of these forces continued eastward along the road and railroad toward Pok'ot'u (Map 15).
