The Far Eastern Front was created on June 28 , 1938 from the Special Red Banner Far Eastern Army. In Operation August Storm , it led the attack into Japanese-occupied Manchuria . The Imperial Japanese Army was in a dreadfully weakened state, and the Japanese defenders were overwhelmed by the offensive. Soon Mongolia and Chiang Kai-Shek 's Nationalist China joined the Soviet cause. On August 19 , the Far East Front continued its routing of the Kantogun army by capturing Harbin and Mukden . By August 21 , the Red Army had captured almost all of Manchuria , and the final surrender of the Kantogun took place. On August 5 , 1945 , the Front was reorganized as the 2nd Far Eastern Front .
