Who won? Isn't this a wrinkle on the head, a clear thing? If the Japanese won, with their greedy character, could they rush into Siberia without carrying their three or eight big covers and pouting their butts?
Historically, you did not see this scene, there can only be one answer, the so-called elite of the Japanese, the Kwantung Army, was really scared.
After the battle of Nomonhan, the Kwantung Army began to pout its ass, put a hole in its head, and hid itself, afraid that the Soviets would find trouble for themselves.
If we don't say anything else, let's just say that now, Japanese scholars themselves say that the Battle of Nomonhan was the first fiasco since the Japanese army became an army.
Seeing that there was none, they themselves admitted that they not only failed, but also added a tragic word. So some people want to put gold, you belong to the horseshoe, the Japanese themselves are embarrassed.
Of course, it is estimated that some people will still shout, Xiaobian will give this matter to the big guys, you feel it.
First of all, let's take a look, why did the Japanese eat bear hearts and leopard bile, and want to get the Soviets?
There are basically two reasons for this, one for the Soviets and one for the Japanese.
Reasons for the USSR.
The big guys also know that in 1937 and 1938, the international situation in these two years was more and more tense than stubble. And what about the Soviet Union? In August 1937, the Great Purge began.
The good guys were suppressed in the following year 35,000 officers, and 80% of senior officers were suppressed.
To give an example, in the most serious case, a man who had just graduated from a military academy and served in the division headquarters found that the entire division headquarters was almost empty, and he became the big leader in charge.
And of the five marshals, three of them were taken.
You are in a situation like this, which is dangerous for a country.
After this operation, the entire command system of the Soviet army was paralyzed by half, and the combat effectiveness was not reduced by a single star and a half.
When the Japanese people knew about this, they jumped up and quacked and called you a call.
In fact, in this situation, not only the Japanese saw it, but the Germans saw it in their eyes, and their hearts, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys all itched up, so both of them wanted to attack the Soviets.
Marshal Vasilevsky said at that time: "If the events of 1937 had not happened, perhaps the war of 1941 would not have happened!" ”
The implication is that a large part of the reason why Hitler dared to wage war against the Soviet Union was the Great Purge, which dropped the appetite of the Germans.
Of course, the Germans have ideas, and they have little to do with the issues we are discussing today, and we will go on to say that the Soviet reasons have hooked up the appetite of the Japanese.
The Great Purge is one reason.
Another reason was the logistical problems of the Soviet Union at the Battle of Nomonhan.
In the eyes of the Japanese, even if the Red Army wanted to intervene in the war, it was not prepared enough.
Speaking of supply lines alone, the Japanese supply lines from Hylar to Nomonhan are only one hundred and eighty kilometers, but what about the Soviet Union? The nearest railway line to Nomonhan is 750 km away.
What a gap! In the experience of the Japanese, once this supply line exceeds two hundred and fifty kilometers, will you still fight? Logistics crouch where you can't touch the position.
The troops eat and drink Lazar, and you can't keep up with the bullets consumed in the war!
Grasping these two points, it is immediately hilarious to the excitement of the Japanese, who take advantage of themselves no matter how they calculate.
So the Japanese attacked the Soviet Union, which was put on the agenda.
No, later the Germans got the news and sent some individuals to come and observe, in fact, they wanted to use the hands of the Japanese to touch the bottom of the Soviets, and there was such a confidant who knew themselves and knew each other, in order to win every battle.
Of course, in the end, the Germans, these observers, came to the conclusion that everyone knows, saying that the Japanese brain is still simmering in the atmosphere of the First World War? The technical level of World War II cannot be discussed.
We don't have to go on, it's not much effort, and then we'll talk about why the Japanese are looking for trouble with the Soviets.
Reasons for the Japanese
In 1938, the Japanese fought on the battlefield of our Great China for more than two years. The demise of our great China in three months has become nonsense.
Only when we killed them, 220,000 Japanese were stabbed to death, and the combat effectiveness of the Japanese was worse than a stubble.
And what about us? After all these years of war, the combat effectiveness has increased a lot.
In addition to the Kwantung Army, nearly 80% of the strength of the thirty-five divisions of Japan was held back by us.
This made the Japanese troops a little insufficient, and the Japanese issued a fierce expansion of troops, expanding and expanding the troops, and the eyeballs were all red.
The result is a serious shortage of people in many areas of production in the country. And the troops saw the war in the sky, they couldn't see a head, the excitement of fighting chicken blood had long gone, and maybe one day they went out, they were chopped off by us, and even their shrine could not go back, so the war-weary personnel were also more.
This made the wave of militarists who started the war, like ants on a hot pot, have no place to get off their feet.
Therefore, even the Japanese emperor also began to ponder, to find a gap there, to vent this emotion of the soldiers, and to solve his own situation by the way.
You know, the Japanese have prepared more than a billion yen for this war, and now not only have they spent it, but their national debt has accumulated to 20 billion yen, breaking the rhythm in minutes.
The wave of Japanese who started the war already felt that it seemed that they were sitting on the crater, after all, the problem of people's food was almost impossible for them to solve.
However, China's occupied areas have been scraped by the Japanese more than once, which still cannot block the holes and holes of the Japanese in all aspects.
Therefore, the Japanese must find a new source of wealth, or a source of raw materials, and replenish their blood.
The Japanese Army favored going north to fight the Soviet Union, and the Japanese Navy favored going south to rob the Americans.
And the Japanese emperor did not want to offend the Americans, more inclined to provoke the Soviets, coupled with the plight of the Soviets and their elite Kwantung Army next to the Soviet Union is still very close?
So on July 1, 1939, the Japanese Twenty-third Division and the Angang Detachment, crouched in Nomonhan, with Japanese planes hovering over their heads, crossed the Halaha River and broke into the positions of the Soviet and Mongol coalition forces opposite them.
In fact, this is the second Battle of Nomonhan, the first time before it was tentative, the Japanese found the shining point they needed in the Mongols, and this was the second time.
You don't know that on first contact, the Japanese infantry was broken by the Soviets. By the fourth of July, the Soviet tank force began, looking for Japanese tank troops on the battlefield, preparing for a gorgeous tank battle.
Finally found, the two sides began to fight. Why? This is the first tank war in the history of Asian warfare!
As far as the Japanese's thin-skinned tank was concerned, there were two squatters in it, and the small sample was not an opponent of the Soviet tank at all.
That small shell, slammed into the Soviet tank, accidentally by the Soviet tank armor to fly, and the Soviet shell hit the Japanese tank, you don't say blow up the turret, can crush the Japanese turret into parts.
The Japanese are going to cry, you need to know the Japanese tanks, that usually let the Japanese treat them as baby Gada.
When fighting, other countries hid behind the tanks, but the Japanese were better off, and the infantry pestle protected the tanks in front of the tanks.
So after this battle, the Japanese were heartbroken, their first tank division, that was their family emperor specially transferred from the Japanese mainland to use, the result? Almost the whole army was destroyed, and it all became a fireball.
The battle was fought like this, and it is reasonable to say that the Japanese should comb through it and then ponder the taste, right?
As a result, the Japanese don't see it that way, and they feel that they are not using their full strength.
After all, under the long-term indoctrination of the Japanese, they always thought that the Soviets were technologically backward, and the state was the state of the Russo-Japanese War.
So we saw that the Japanese began to assemble the artillery that could be assembled in their hands, and they even pulled the antique heavy artillery of the First World War.
Because there were not many Japanese trucks, the artillery was transported by horses, and eight horses were not enough, so they had ten horses, and if they didn't have eighteen horses.
The Japanese, like red-eyed gamblers, had to press the full value and do it again, this time assembling three long-range heavy artillery companies.
In this state, the Japanese do not know how many times in history, they almost won the bet, but this time, they hit the iron plate.
The Soviets had many more large-caliber artillery than the Japanese Soviets, and both the caliber and range were quite gratifying.
If the Japanese dared to give the Soviets half a few cardinal shells, the Soviets would give them three cardinal shells to fight back.
Three days later, the Japanese lost even the face towel hidden in their pants.
So on the battlefield, we saw the Japanese strapped to the door of a white cloth with a big red dot on the door, charging at the Soviet tanks and artillery.
Of course, they can only do this to find death, and the Germans look at it and shake their heads: "What's the matter?" ”
By August 20, the Soviet Union had begun a general offensive from three lines of attack.
The Japanese panicked and wanted to break through, basically desperate, and the twenty-third division's troops of more than 15,900 people were killed by more than 12,200 people, and the casualty rate reached 80%.
As far as the loss rate of this war is concerned, you can tell yourself whether Japan lost or lost?
In 1977, a Japanese man named Kusanagi Matsumoto wrote a book about the Battle of Nomonhan, "Nomonhan, Japan's First Defeat," which contains the following passage:
There were burnt marks everywhere, as if a group of fire-breathing pythons had fought here, and the position was full of burnt paste and corpse odor...
Of course, in this battle, it is worth mentioning that the Japanese used bacteriological weapons, but the Soviets got the information we sent in advance, built the pipe to transport water, and did not drink any river water at all.
In order to ensure secrecy, the Japanese put poison in the river and did not tell their troops, and the Result was that the Soviets were fine, and they themselves were poisoned to a large area, more than 1,200 people.
In order to cover up the evidence of the crime, the Japanese also destroyed the corpses.
Finally, it is worth noting that although this germ warfare failed, the Ishii unit that released the bacteria was commended because they gained the necessary actual combat experience.
Later, the Japanese improved the bacteria, using captured Soviet prisoners of war for human experiments, you don't know that at the end of World War II, the Japanese secretly ran to the Soviet Union and dropped these re-improved high-efficiency bacteria and viruses.
ay! What can you say? Just make a little bit of conspiracy and trickery.
