1 October 1942 – 1 November 1942
Soviet Invasion
On 8 October, Soviets installed Soviet government in Riga. Few hours later Portugal joined Axis.
One Polish division stuck in Kaunas, but rescue arrived on time. However, danger of Soviets crossing Nemunas River and being outflanked forced Polish to abandobe Kaunas and take defensive positions across the river. On 14 October, Lithuania surrendered and was annexed by Soviets.
On 20 October, Spain joined Axis, but luckily Japan (current leader of Axis) is not at war with Allies and Spain is not an imminent threat at the moment.
Soviets continued their offensive in north and after very heavy fighting crossed Nemunas River at Tilsit on 23 October and Polish Second Defensive Line collapsed. All divisions retreated to the Third Defensive Line.
In a mean time, Soviets outflanked Polish right flank (one Polish Airborne division was taken prisoners) and invaded Hungary and Slovakia. French 4th Expeditionary Army guarding right flank, tried unsuccessfully break through Uzhok and cut off Soviet army in Hungary but Soviets sent massive reinforcements and stopped the attack.
Soviet tank and motorised divisions soon took Budapest and Bratislava. However, brave Polish mechanised recon units were able to retake the cities and cut off Soviet vanguard. British Expeditionary divisions engaged Soviets at Bratislava and destroyed two divisions which were caught off guard. Now it is just a matter of time when Soviets will “liberate” Slovakia and Hungary.
At the same time British landed in Tallinn and are currently fighting in Riga.
India
In Asia, British reached Amu Darya River but Soviets stopped the advance.
