One of the stupidest battles in a world war, the operation in this battle is ridiculously retarded
World wars swept the world, and the rest of the world was in the midst of war. At that time, the world could be described as a war-torn world, and there was no pure land. This battle can be called the most stupid battle in the world war, and the various operations of this battle are stupid and suffocating. What the hell is going on? Please listen to the editor carefully decompose!
When it comes to stupid operations in the world war, the first thing that comes to mind is the Japanese army's sneak attack on Pearl Harbor in the United States. At that time, Japan was already mired in the quagmire of the Asian war, and it was at this time that the Japanese army sneaked into Pearl Harbor without warning and then went to war with the United States.
Because of the entry of the United States in World War II, Japan instantly had a strong enemy. Within two years, Japan was defeated, and decades of preparation had failed. If Japan had not sneaked into Pearl Harbor and allowed the United States to watch the fire from across the shore, perhaps the Japanese army would have been able to bounce around for a few more years.
What I want to talk about today is that Japan, which is good at stupid operations, has similarities with the attack on Pearl Harbor. This time, the Japanese army did not provoke the United States, but provoked the fighting nation that must be rewarded. Although the price paid for this operation was not as serious as the attack on Pearl Harbor, it also made the Japanese side feel deep pain.
In May 1939, Japanese troops suddenly shot and killed several Mongolian herders grazing across the border. If this matter were put on other countries, it might not be anything, but Japan encountered the Soviet Union. That way, things aren't that simple. First of all, Japan's move surprised the Soviet side, and then the Soviet Union mobilized its troops and was ready for war. The Soviets saw this as a provocation by Japan to itself, as a precursor to a Japanese sneak attack on the Soviet Union.
In the beginning, the Soviet Union only made a war appearance, while japan was eager to try, wanting to compete with the fighting nations. In this regard, the Japanese military specially dispatched the Kwantung Army stationed in the northeast to reinforce. Since Japan was ready for war, the fighting nation could only accompany it. Thus, the Battle of Nomonhan began.
In the beginning, the Soviet Union only did some fortifications and was not prepared for war. Knowing that Japan had mobilized reinforcements, the Soviets were inspired to be competitive. As a result, the Soviet Union mobilized a large number of Red Army troops, and the troops along the line were ready to fight the Japanese army. For the Japanese army at that time, the Soviet side overestimated them. It was not until after the first battle that the Soviet army learned of the fragility of the Japanese army.
Soviet tanks were pressed against the Japanese infantry, and the Japanese infantry had no resistance at all in front of the Soviet tanks. After the war, the Soviet Union felt that Japan was simply too weak to be sympathetic. Although the Japanese had artillery, they simply could not inflict damage on the Soviet army. Not only that, but the Soviet artillery also gave the Japanese army a taste of what a cannon was.
At the end of the first battle, the Japanese army died unrepentantly, returned to China to mobilize troops, and engaged the Soviet Union for the second time. This time, a division of the Japanese army was completely destroyed, and it was only possible to rely on cavalry to launch an attack. In the face of the powerful Soviet Union, the Japanese army was like a clown. This time the fiasco was avoided by the Japanese army, but in the end it was because of the operation of the Japanese army that caused the tragedy.
During World War II, Japan was known for not measuring its own strength. The Japanese army's invasion of Asian countries has already stood against the people of the world. Not only that, but the Japanese army has repeatedly provoked the two major powers in the world. Japan's operation is ridiculously feeble-minded. In this way, can Japan be undefeated?
