Historical Background:
The winter war was ending, the major Soviet offensive was sweeping away the last Finnish forces. But the Finnish didn't abandon, they launched a counter-attack to recapture Honkaniemi village, on the edge of Lake Naykkijarvi. For the first time (and the last as well) they used a tank company to support the counter-attack. This was the only tank battle in the winter war. The Soviet 84th Rifle Division, with the support of T-26 tanks made a hard defense and the attack was a failure. At 10 o'clock in the morning, the attack was aborted and the Finnish forces were withdrawn.
