The number of troops, committed by the Red Army to the few roads in the Ladoga-Karelia area (north of Lake Ladoga), came as an unpleasant surprise to the Finnish high command, especially the ones in the so-calied SuojaNi area.The terrain was very hostile during winter and maneuvering entire divisions along the scattered roads, in those conditions, was thought to be nearly impossible. The strong soviet attack by the 139th division, directed towards Tolvajärvi, was opposed by the Task Force Rasanen (Osasto Rasanen) After the first few days, the threat against the flank of the Finnish 12th division forced the IV Corps to commit more troops to the battle The prize for the 139th division, the crossroad at Korpiselka, offering good routes south, west and north, was Iying within reach!
