Overview:
The Soviet invasion of Poland on 17 September caught the Polish defenses in the east undermanned and unprepared, with the bulk of Polish forces already facing the Germans. Komandarm Mikhail Kovalyov's Belorussian Front cut through the border fortifications and drove toward Wilno, the administrative and industrial hub of northeast Poland. Responsibility for the defense of the city fell to the Korpus Ochrony Pogranicza (KOP), the Border Protection Corps, along with the local volunteer militia. The defenders numbered 15,000, but only 6,500 were armed. Taking matters into their own hands, the civilian populace began a "Molotov Program," producing over 1,000 incendiary cocktails. Led by the 6th Tank Brigade, the Soviets pushed deep into the city. The battered remnants of KOP Battalion "Troki" joined militia units for a desperate last stand in defense of the vital Wilia River bridges.Attacker: Russian (6th Tank Brigade)
Defender: Polish (KOP Battalion "Troki" and local milita)
