Finnish artillery fired altogether over 122,000 rounds of ordnance. This concentration was considered a world record at the time (In fact with 8 days period Finns fired more rounds in Vuosalmi and if taking 5 days period record of artillery rounds was fired in U-line, Nietjärvi). These fire missions managed to halt and destroy Soviet forces that were assembling at their staging areas. On thirty occasions the Soviet forces destroyed were larger than battalion size.
