Japan in the Period of World War II ambitions are huge, with Germany, Italy formed an Axis power against the world, the war almost burned all over the world, although Japan was the hegemon of Asia at that time, but the resources are relatively scarce compared to other countries, the most important thing is an island country, fighting outside the national territory, supply and transportation is often not timely, so the war can only be fought in war, not only invaded Korea, China, even India, Laos, Burma also did not let go, most of China's territory was captured, the War of Resistance Against Japan fought for eight years, sacrificing countless ancestors, In today's era of peace, China is one of the countries with the greatest losses in Asia after the war, and its neighbor India has also been invaded by Japan, and japan has sent out 100,000 troops, but it has fought a war and dare not fight again.
India during World War II, in fact, is a British colony, the reason for attacking India, is because of its unique geographical location, if you want to expand the territory according to the plan, then Japan must fight India, in fact, the British army stationed in India is not the main force of britain, so the strength is not strong, all composed of local colonists, the combat effectiveness is not at all comparable to the Japanese, so some people ridiculed, the British heard the cannon sound, and surrendered in a hurry. A japanese wing can even run around with more than 10,000 Commonwealth troops, which shows how weak the Federal army is. Japanese soldiers were brainwashed by militarism, they didn't want to die at all, and when they died, they thought they were glorious, which led to the setbacks of the federal army, the lips were cold, and the neighbors were not happy with themselves, so China also sent an expeditionary force, but it was also defeated by the Japanese, and the whole of Southeast Asia was almost controlled by the Japanese.
The hope of occupying Asia is at hand, the Japanese army is attacking like crazy, the siege of the city is invincible, compared to Japan's momentum, Germany in europe is not comfortable, all the main forces of Britain and the United States on the European battlefield, two fists are difficult to defeat four hands, the German army is tired for a long time, Germany is under great pressure in Europe, in order to alleviate the pressure, can only let Japan invade India, after all, India is British, it is impossible to sit idly by, to put it bluntly, it is another kind of siege to save Zhao. After receiving Hitler's orders, the Japanese began to study the battle plan, and finally decided to capture imphal occupied by the Allies, and the battle was also named after Imphal, where the Japanese suffered a great loss. In February 1944, the Japanese army sent a lot of troops to attack Imphal, and as a result, the British troops stationed in India counterattacked in time, and the Japanese suffered more than 8,000 casualties at once, seeing that the casualties were so large, the Japanese commander Mutaguchi Wasaguchi was also furious when he learned of it.
Mutaguchi Lian is also "famous", this person led China's July 7 Incident, but in fact did not have much military talent, the reason why the Japanese army lost so much at the beginning, more or less because of insufficient preparation when attacking India, Muta Kou Lian this person is not strong command ability, slogans are shouted well. At the beginning of the war, the Japanese army won a small victory, and as a result, because the supply line was too long, coupled with the interference of the Allies, the Japanese army that launched the Imphal Campaign fell into the point of running out of ammunition, and as the commander, Mutaguchi Ryoya, actually said such things, saying that all soldiers, as long as they fired three shots into the sky, the enemy would automatically surrender, and there were also people such as the Japanese Empire, who had always grown up eating grass, and could survive as long as they ate grass, and at the same time accused the soldiers who were looking for food, saying that the jungle here was dense, wasn't it food? Such words, seeing this, I don't know whether to say that Mutaguchi is also really stupid, or deliberately pretended, no matter how cruel Japan is, they are also ordinary people with flesh and blood, and no one can survive just by eating grass, unless it is an animal.
In addition to the problem of supplies, the weather is also a major reason for the failure of the Japanese side, Japan and India's climate is different, the Imphal War was carried out, it was the rainy season in India, the rainy roads were full of mud, and it was the most likely to have a disease in the rainforest, that is, dysentery. After The defeat of Mutaguchi Lian in the first battle, he was anxious to find the field, so he led the Japanese 15th Division, 31st Division, 33rd Division, and 45,000 prisoners of war puppet troops to form a 100,000-strong army to try to counterattack, and as a result, 30,000 soldiers contracted dysentery. After the Allied commander Mountbatten learned that the Japanese army had taken action, he quickly analyzed that the Japanese army relied on supplies and must fight around the transportation line, so he organized troops to bomb the Japanese transport team, cutting off the Japanese supply, resulting in the Japanese army running out of ammunition. In order to break through the predicament, the Japanese 33rd Division and the 15th Attack on Imphal respectively, the 31st Division attacked Koshima on the flank, after Kohima was occupied by the Japanese, the Allies were immediately isolated and helpless, but this was only the beginning, far from the end, the Japanese side and the Allies attacked and defended several times, the British united with India to organize death squads, and many lost lands were recovered one after another.
As I said earlier, the Japanese side chose the wrong time of attack, May is in the rainy season, the road is all mud, the Japanese transport team not only has to face the Allied attack, the road is not easy to walk, which also led to the Japanese army can only feed on weeds. After Kohima was retaken by the British, the supply line of the Japanese army was completely stuck, and at this time, the Japanese side, like a person who was strangled by the throat and dying, in order to survive, the military heart began to break, and the Japanese commander Sato, the first to disobey Mutaguchi's orders, retreated with the 31st Division. After Sato left, Mutaguchi Also decided to break the boat and fight a decisive battle with the British, he gathered all the troops of the 33rd Division and the 15th Division to try to capture Imphal, but the British army did not give Mutaguchi Rinpo a chance, tens of thousands of Japanese rushed to Imphal, waiting for their non-stop strafing machine guns, as well as the bombardment of large and small artillery, the British army has long organized a strong defense line, waiting for the Japanese army to throw themselves into the net.
After the failure of the attack, the Japanese high command immediately ordered a retreat, the result of the retreat order was intercepted by the Allies, Mountbatten immediately organized troops to take advantage of the victory to pursue, tens of thousands of Japanese troops fled in a hurry, forcibly wanted to cross the river, was caught off guard by the British troops guarding the ferry, aircraft artillery bombarded together, resulting in the Loss of a large number of Japanese troops and material resources in Imphal, which is also one of the most heavy losses of the Japanese army, 100,000 troops lost all their money. The reason why Japan did not dare to fight India again was that it could no longer bear such a large price, nor could it fight, nor did it dare to fight, and at that time the Allies had achieved a wide range of victories in the world, the Axis powers were only resisting to the death, and in general, the Battle of Imphal brought a huge shadow to the Japanese military, and they did not dare to launch a second Imphal Campaign.
