During World War II, the Battle of Nomonhan between the Soviet Union and Japan was a tentative attack by the Japanese army, a strategic armed invasion to see if it was possible to seize the Soviet Far East, in order to check the strength and weapons of the Red Army of the Soviet Union. Command capabilities. In order to completely dispel Japan's invasion intentions, the Soviet Union fully resisted the Japanese invasion, but the result was that there was a misjudgment on both sides, which led to Japan no longer invading the Soviet Union. During World War II, there was no north-south confrontation with Germany, and the Soviet Union realized the strength of Japan and deployed a large number of troops in the Far East. It was not until accurate information was obtained that troops were able to dispatch troops to the Soviet-German battlefield. In fact, no one won this battle.
The Battle of Nomonhan ended in a crushing Soviet victory. The Battle of Nomonhan broke out on 11 May 1939 and ended on 16 September 1939. The area of operation was the Area of Transmonhan. At that time, the Soviet Union had just been purged and was in a period of stagnation. Stalin, in this situation, made General Zhukov, then deputy commander of the Kiev Military District, the commander of the Far Eastern Military District, resist the encroachment of the Japanese Kwantung Army. Fortunately, Zhukov, even so, in the case of more than 200,000 warring troops on both sides, the Soviet General Staff almost unconditionally agreed to Zhukov's request, dispatched the most advanced aircraft and meritorious pilots, as well as the most elite troops, in the case of the Soviet elite exhausted, the Soviet Union lost more than 9700 people in battle; more than 15200 wounded won a fierce victory. The Kwantung Army, led by Lieutenant General Hagishu Ritsu, commander of the Japanese Sixth Army, lost 8,440 dead and 8,766 wounded. Hagi Prefecture Himself was immediately dismissed.
In World War II, the Japanese army won the Battle of Nomonhan tactically, but strategically failed because it did not achieve the set goal. The main reason why Japan did not continue to attack was that after the Battle of Nomonkan, the Soviet Union and Japan signed a non-aggression pact. Under these circumstances, the Japanese military did not dare to act rashly. There is also a huge disagreement between the Japanese military and its strategic intentions in World War II. The War Department wanted to go north to invade the Soviet Union, and the War Department wanted to go south to seize southeast Asia's abundant crude oil and rubber. To avoid two-front combat. Only one strategic goal could be adopted, and the defeat of the War Department at the Battle of Nomonhan gave the Japanese Navy a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity as an excuse, and the Japanese base camp decided to adopt a southward strategy after fierce debate. There was also the later Pearl Harbor.
In fact, after Japan's defeat in the Battle of Nomonkan, it knew that invading the Soviet Union from the north to attack Siberia and the Far East was the most correct strategic choice, and it could make the Soviet Union fight on two fronts, but the huge consumption of the war overwhelmed Japan, and the United States had begun to embargo Japan into trade, and the international situation had undergone unfavorable changes for Japan. Reality determined that Japan could only stop its aggression against the Soviet Union and go south.
