Following this, the corps was to organize coastal defenses on the shore of Ladoga and release one division for action to its east.

[8][9] A significant concern for the Finnish command was to prevent the encircled Soviet forces from escaping over Lake Ladoga, as the area held by the 168th Division provided good opportunities for the loading of troops and materiel.

The area of operations was in Finnish hands by 20 August, with the forces of the Soviet 168th having escaped over the lake, and those parts that had failed to do so destroyed.

[11][12] Following the operations in the Sortavala region, the corps's organization underwent significant change as its divisions were transferred to other units.

[15] On 27 August, the corps continued the attack towards Leningrad, eventually reaching an area between Lembolovo and Lake Ladoga, where it halted and prepared a defensive posture beginning from 9 September.
