Also keep in mind that the Soviets arent occupying all of China - far from it - in fact they hold relatively little of the country
Soviet Vehicle Guide
1st Far Eastern Front - Manchuria
2nd Far Eastern Front - Mongolia
Yalu Front - Korea
The 1st and 2nd Far Eastern Front have 13 divisions and 2 brigades between them, the Yalu front three divisions, a regiment and a brigade
So basically they went on a mission to grab off Manchuria and expand the size of their holdings around Mongolia - not grab the whole country
1st Far Eastern Front
Most of the units just say Manchuria (23rd Motorized is in Tsitsihar (Qiqihar) Manchuria (Heilongjiang Province) along with the 100th Motorized)
2nd Far Eastern Front
11th Tank is in Mongolia fighting separatists and the three Motorized Rifle are all there too
so the vast majority of China is not occupied by the Soviets
also keep in mind that the Soviet units arent exactly undamaged either - 3rd Tank has 500 men and 2 tanks, 50th Airmobile has 200 men, 98th has 300 men, 49th Tank has 2000 men and no tanks, 91st Motorized has 200 men and no tanks
6th Tank and 34th Motorized are probably the best equipped divisions they have left in the Far East - 4000 men and 36 tanks each and both are Category I
