In preparation for an August 24 offensive, the Japanese launched a probing attack in the southern sector of the Soviet lines. Hoping to discover a weak point they ran into a strong Soviet defensive position instead. Lacking the resources to storm such a fortified position, the Japanese conducted a few skirmishes along the Soviet defensive line before withdrawing.

Khalkh River, Mongolia

The Battles of Khalkhin Gol were the decisive engagements of the undeclared Soviet–Japanese border conflicts fought among the Soviet Union, Mongolia, Japan and Manchukuo in 1939. The conflict was named after the river Khalkhin Gol, which passes through the battlefield. In Japan, the decisive battle of the conflict is known as the Nomonhan Incident after Nomonhan, a nearby village on the border between Mongolia and Manchuria. The battles resulted in the defeat of the Japanese Sixth Army.
