The <entity_1> was fought by the Polish Army against the Soviet invasion of <entity_6> in 1939, which accompanied the German <entity_0> in accordance with Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact On <entity_3>–<entity_2>, Soviet forces took over the city of Wilno (now <entity_5>). The Polish commanders, unsure whether to actively oppose the Soviet entry into <entity_6>, did not use the full defensive capabilities of the town and nearby fortifications, although the outcome of the <entity_7> would not have been likely any different, given the overwhelming Soviet numerical superiority. <entity_5>, the capital of the Wilno Voivodship (province or region), was an important industrial centre in the north-eastern part of <entity_6> and the sixth largest city in that country at the time. The military commander of the city, Colonel Jarosław Okulicz-Kozaryn, decided that in case of attack by German or Soviet forces, he had insufficient forces for a successful defence and thus his task could only be to allow civilians to evacuate to neutral <entity_4> (this was also realised, albeit not very clearly, by General Józef Olszyna-Wilczyński, commander of the 3rd military district which <entity_5> was also in). On <entity_3>, the commander of the Belarusian Front, Comandarm (roughly a general), Mikhail Kovalyov, ordered the capture of <entity_5> by groups of the 3rd and 11th Armies. Their task was to secure the city by the evening of <entity_3>; but due to logistical difficulties and the overestimation of the Polish defences, the operation was revised with the aim of securing the city by the morning of <entity_2>.
