The Red Banner Far Eastern Armies This is it We've seen Russia coming into the war out here in the Far East for a long time It's the payoff of more than 2300 border clashes between the Red Army and the Japanese.

This Russian foresimed with driving into Manchuria knows how to fight the Japanese. They learned in those two undeclared wars in 1938 and 1939, and in the clashes before that and since. And what their generals learned in those wars, Zhukov, Boronov, and the others, they used against Banatsi.

Now with this additional experience, they're back here with us using it against the Japanese. Today, Soviet Russia has more than a million well-trained, well-fed, battle-tested men in the Red Banner Far Eastern Army. And that does not include the European-Russian armies that are now being deployed out here.

No can't you. No other generals. You can expect to see a kasovsky until Buchin, Konyus, and Bakhramyan out here anytime. But these are the troops that know the Japanese, Louis. These men of the Red Banner armies.
