	Korean People's Army - 2nd Infantry Division
		In the precipitate withdrawal of the division from its Naktong Bridgeheed on 17 September and subsequent headlong retreat northward all remaining artillery pieces were either buried or abandoned to UN Forces.
		Even organic artillery within the rifle regiments was highly limited and was confined to two or three 82mm mortars and regimental 76mm howitzers, probably finds its explanation in the fact that the 2nd Division together with the 10th Division and other lements of the corps had been assigned a guerrilla mission.
		Within the rifle regiments the supporting fire delivered by a limited number of 120mm mortars could be supplemented by a considerable amount of battalion artillery (which the typical rifle battalion averaged about five 82mm mortars, two 45mm antitank guns, four or five antitank rifles and occasionally some captured US rocket launchers).

	Soviet Sniper Articles
		Soviet snipers were a part of the military planning and tactics long before the outbreak of the war.
		Soviet field commanders feared the presence of Finn sharpshooters and snipers and recognized that these snipers were able to disrupt the communications and flow of battle and served to demoralize front line troops.
		The rifle should be capable of shooting within about 2 inches at that distance, but on one shot if your pointer is at the bottom of the 2 inch square and the next shot your pointer is at the top of it.

	Soviet Tank Operations in the Spanish Civil War by Steven J. Zaloga
		They were considered by the Soviet advisers to be the most modern and best tanks in Spain, and were held in reserve through the late summer and early autumn, waiting for a major opportunity to exploit their capabilities.
		Soviet tankers held a very negative view of the average Spanish infantrymen, and this jaundiced view led them to discount the problem of tank-infantry cooperation, presuming that the situation would be better when operating with Red Army infantry.
		The uncontested Polish invasion was the largest employment of Soviet armor until the outbreak of the war with Germany in 1941, and involved the use of two tank corps, seven independent tank brigades, four cavalry tank regiments and six infantry tank battalions, totaling 4,120 armored vehicles.
