Right now Finns living near the border are evacuating, burning their houses and poisoning the wells. ^^
Mannerheim being told that Russians have made 2 breakthroughs on Karelian Isthmus; Red Army only a few km from Finnish fallback defences
Finnish command have learned that earlier reports of Russian breakthroughs were false; Finns have abandoned 20+km of land needlessly
Mannerheim has ordered General Öhquist to attack, but he angrily refused: troops tired & confused, land not worth risk of failed attack
6.00AM Finnish troops now counterattacking, trying to drive back Red Army. Some Finns have not slept for 2 nights: "punch-drunk, stumbling"
6.20AM Scouts of regiment JR-36 fleeing, backs to enemy, shouting "Tanks! Tanks!". Finnish counterattack folding to 20 Soviet tanks
USSR has rejected Finns' offer of peace talks. Soviets say they are allies of "true government": communist Democratic Republic of Finland
Red Army has broken through Finnish lines north of Lake Ladoga; mechanics, clerks, medics, & walking wounded thrown into desperate fighting
