9 August 1942

Partisan pursuit:

Enemy has crossed the Sidra river during the morning. Parts of detachment Valmu and Platoon 'Esko' are in combat with the enemy in 4300/8600 terrain.

By evening the suspected main enemy group has retreated to 4580/8650. Detachments Valmu, Putkonen and Ahonen are ready to receive the enemy on the Voijärvi - Tsiassalmi isthmus.

POW tells that the partisans are moving in two or three separate groups. Enemy casualties are also larger than thought, prisoner has told that seriously wounded partisans have been shot and their bodies have been hidden in the swampy terrain.



Finnish daily losses: 18
