On 20 November 1942, the corps started feeding its units into the attack, between Lake Tsatsa and Barmatsak when the 126th and 302nd Rifle Divisions of the 51st Army began to advance on a three-mile front, supported by the 55th and 158th Independent Tank Regiments from the 4th Mechanized Corps.
The advance was made against the Romanian 6th Corps, whose units, Erickson says, began to surrender as the tanks got in among their positions.
It was finally disbanded on 27 November 1959 while serving with the 5th Army in the Far East Military District[8] at Dalnerechensk.
