During the Russian Invasion of North China, just before the Japanese collapse in world war 2, large parts of North China were attacked and taken by Russian Troops. Although the main objective of the offensive was the taking of Manchuria with its mineral riches and heavy industrial base, the Russians advanced over a far wider front. The main city on the far western end of the russian advance was the strategically important city of Baotou. The City lay at the end of a strategic railway and gave access to the Yellow River as well. Equally important, the possesion of this strategic point gave the Russians the opportunity to communciate directly with Mao Zedong and the party headquarters in Yan′An just to the south and across the river in North Shaanxi Province.
