History is the memory of things that have been said and done. —Carl Baker
A motorcycle can carry a mechanized infantry brigade, a train can hang a legion, and who can fight? Coupled with the plug-in of the Ganges Water, I can go back alive and burn high incense! It's a bit of a joke about India, but it's our first impression of most people in India.
In fact, India is very "poor", but it is such a country that we think is very "poor", and during World War II, little Japan ate a closed door soup! After that, we never dared to take a shot at India, but we in China have been bullying Japan and bullying us for more than 14 years. Could it be that India during World War II was so powerful than China that little Japan was jealous?
However, this is not the case, during World War II, India's strength was much worse than China's, but India's "extreme luck" and backing britain were such a big backer, so it made little Japan suffer.
We all know that Because Japan is short of its own national resources, it has begun to think about seizing resources from other countries, and the best way is to "invade." There must be an object for the invasion, so Japan started our idea of China. Who called the Qing government at that time corrupt and incompetent, so backwardness would be beaten, the Sino-Japanese War directly led to the bankruptcy of the Manchu Qing's drastic foreign affairs movement, and China also became the focus of Japanese aggression.
In the Republic of China period, China's overall strength was not very bad, and if Japan wanted to implement its aggressive plan, it had to weigh it up, after all, China in history had always been the object of Japan's learning and imitation. However, Zhang Zuolin, the king of The Northeast, died shortly after being seriously injured, and when his son Zhang Xueliang had just taken over the command of the army, Japan took the opportunity to launch the "918 Incident". Just when Japan was waiting in a strict position, but also to test the strength of the Chinese army, the Northeast Army did not resist the strategy at all, allowing more than 20,000 Japanese troops to quickly occupy the three eastern provinces.
This is a very heart-wrenching place for the Chinese people, according to records, the Northeast Army had more than 300,000 troops at that time, plus more than 800 cannons, and more than 260 aircraft. If a war is decided, the Northeast Army deployed in Hebei, Rehe, and Shanhaiguan can also retreat in time. That is to say, if you really want to fight, the Northeast Army can quickly gather 500,000 troops. In response to the attack of 20,000 Japanese troops, the powerful Fengzhi Northeast Army had no reason to lose.
Unfortunately, the Northeast Army did not dare to do a real knife and real gun, and the instigation of the bag operation brought very serious consequences, and Japan's attack on China enhanced confidence, and the all-out war of aggression against China began. After that, Japan boasted that it would take China within three months, but if it said the most cruel words and was beaten the most poisonously, little Japan was also punched in the face, and under the cooperation of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, Japan's journey of invading China was also very difficult.
Since China could not be taken down in a short period of time, little Japan could not continue to spend like this, so it started the idea of India. Speaking of which, I have to say that little Japan will only bully countries that are weaker than itself, which is really disgusting. However, what is very gratifying is that the invasion of India by little Japan not only failed to succeed in its invasion, but also lost 70,000 people. So why was it so difficult for Little Japan to invade India, and even dared not invade India again?
India is backed by the "big mountain" of Britain
During World War II, India was not an independent country, but a British colony. So when little Japan invaded India, it did not fight the Indian army, but the well-equipped British army. If it was to fight with the Indian army, I believe that Japan would have defeated India long ago, after all, the strength of India at that time was far worse than that of China, and India did not even have a regular army, so it was almost impossible to defeat Japan on India's own. As a British colony, since Little Japan dared to invade India, it was equivalent to punching Britain in the face, and Britain would certainly not sit idly by and would certainly send troops to meet Japan.
Ancients Cloud: Skinny camels are bigger than birds, Britain is also a strong country in this way, before it was still Japan's big brother, even if the strength was damaged during World War II, it is not something that small Japan can provoke. Little Japan was also unlucky enough, originally came with the determination to win, but I did not expect to mention the hard board again, and the result was obvious that Little Japan was once again defeated.
With the assistance of the Chinese army
During World War II, the Burma Highway was extremely important to our country, like the lifeline of the country, so Chiang Kai-shek also attached great importance to it and sent his top army to Burma in order to guard this road. The top team sent to the burmese battlefield was under the command of the United States, and it was invincible to fight the Japanese army in Southeast Asia, and it was almost never defeated. Southeast Asia is also close to India, and when I heard that little Japan was going to attack India, it naturally would not sit idly by, after all, during World War II, all countries in the world united to fight against fascism, and it was normal to help each other. With the top Chinese force, plus the British army and India's own troops, is it strange that the little Japan is undefeated?
Here it should be explained that Britain's strength during World War II was greatly damaged, and its real strength was actually inferior to that of Japan, so without the support of the Chinese army, it is really difficult to say who won and who lost. But in any case, India still survived, and its luck was indeed good, not only with the help of britain, but even from China.
Japan's troops are undersupplied, and India's environmental conditions are harsh
When Japan invaded India, it only sent 100,000 troops over, after all, the main Japanese army at that time, about 3 million troops, was on the Battlefield in China, so it could not be withdrawn. At that time, Lieutenant General Mutaguchi Rinya, who was also a lieutenant general in the Japanese army, was the chief culprit of the "July 7 Incident", and he took this force to invade India.
But it is ridiculous that on the Indian battlefield, more Japanese troops died at his hands than at the hands of the Allies. It turned out that Mutaguchi Also thought that India's national strength was so poor that he would win no matter how he fought, so he did not pay attention to it. In the end, I did not expect that I would actually encounter an ambush by the Chinese and British troops, and the 100,000 troops I brought at this time were not enough to see compared with the large Chinese and British troops. Helplessly, at this time, the main japanese troops were pinned down in the Chinese battlefield by the Chinese army, and they could not send troops to support them, and finally they were beaten and fled.
In addition, in the face of serious problems in logistical support, he actually proposed a new plan "Genghis Khan Operation". In simple terms, he wanted to emulate Genghis Khan, who founded the Mongol Empire, because he knew that when the Mongols fought in the southern and northern wars, they used war horses to drive grain, and when there was not enough food, they slaughtered and ate them. So he followed suit and requisitioned local Burmese cattle and sheep to carry military food. However, this idea soon slapped the Japanese army with a big ear scraper in the middle of the battle. During the chaos of the war, the cattle and sheep were frightened by the sound of gunfire, and they randomly blocked the passage of the Japanese army.
Just when the army reacted and had nothing to eat, Mutaguchi Lian also went so far as to say that Japan is a herbivorous people, how can it not find food in the jungle, and the grass next to it is a delicious object.
Another point is that the environment in India is harsh, when Mutaguchi Lian also attacked India, he had to spend a few hundred kilometers of no man's land, which can be said to be a lone army and very dangerous. The weather in this no-man's land is good and bad, and the change of weather makes many Japanese soldiers unable to adapt, and before they have stepped out of this no-man's land, they have been infected with evil diseases.
By the time of the engagement with the enemy, the Japanese army lost some of its strength, which was even worse, bringing 100,000 troops, and finally only 30,000 people left to flee, a large part of which was starved to death on the way.
Towards the end of the war, Japan was already at the end of its mighty crossbow
When Japan first invaded China, it was so confident that it swelled up and began to attack Pearl Harbor. Later, he was also taught a harsh lesson by the United States, and in addition to the Pacific War, the Japanese army suffered heavy losses, resulting in the chinese team line being lengthened.
When Japan invaded India, it was almost 1944, and the war was basically over. The Japanese army in China was defeated and retreated, and at this time, Japan's strength was greatly reduced, and it no longer had the ability to fight again, which belonged to the end of the crossbow. This is also one of the reasons why Japan cannot send troops to India to support, after all, the army is almost gone, and what support is there, and it is expected that Japan's invasion of India will fail.
During World War II, the actions of Little Japan brought disaster to most countries, and in the end Little Japan was sanctioned by the international community and paid the due price for its own actions.
The little Japanese plan to invade India was stupid, and when its own strength was greatly reduced, it still wanted to invade other countries, obviously seeking its own death. Perhaps little Japan thought that there was no hope of invading China, so it wanted to exchange the least cost for the greatest benefit, and sent 100,000 troops to take India in a short period of time. But evil still could not overcome justice, and Little Japan ultimately failed.
After this war, Japan did not launch any attack on India, and it has to be said that India was indeed very lucky, and at the time of the invasion of Little Japan, there was not only the assistance of China and Britain behind it, but also for various reasons, the main Japanese army could not reach India, which avoided a big war.
But on the other hand, India is also unfortunate, and as a British colony, it is also a very sad thing to have no national sovereignty.
