Date: August 13, 1969*

Battle Location: Near Lake Zhalanashkol, Kazakh SSR*
*
Battle Type: Soviet assault vs PRC defend*

Description: The battle takes place near the Soviet-Chinese border, few
kilometers deep in the Soviet territory. On morning 13th, several PRC infantry
squads crossed the border, achieved the Kamenaya and Pravaya peaks and started to
fortify their positions.*
*
Short argument between the Soviet border guards and PRC units did not solve
the situation and border guards left the area to call reinforcements. Several BTRs 
arrived shortly and Soviet assault begun. After several hours of fighting, overwhelmed 
PRC troops retreat.*
*
One of the key factors that decided the outcome of the battle was absence of 
AT weaponry on PRC side, as they didn't anticipated presence of Soviet BTRs 
in the region.*
*
Notes: If played against the AI the human player should take the Soviet side.*
