The truth about the collapse of Japan's strongest army in World War II, Japan's defeat in the war is providential!

What is history: it is the echo of the past to the future, the reflection of the future on the past. - Hugo

Therefore, the real situation at that time was that the 1.5 million elite troops of the Soviet Army attacked the Kwantung Army with less than 700,000 people.

The Attack of the Red Army of the Soviet Union was basically to choose the weak links of the Japanese defense for a deep breakthrough, and the Soviet Army did not encounter decent resistance along the way.

The main force of the Kwantung Army has been defending along major cities and transportation hubs. Throughout the war, only four Kwantung Army divisions were attacked, and most of the Kwantung Army did not have large-scale contact with the Soviets.

Until the end of the war, the Soviet army's offensive forwards only stayed in the northwest of Chifeng to Hailar and then to Mudanjiang, and it can be said that they did not go deep into the northeast hinterland.

So what caused the 700,000 Kwantung Army to fall without a fight?

The reason is simple, along with the two american atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the Japanese Emperor accepted the unconditional surrender on August 15, 1945, and World War II ended!

On the night of the Armistice of World War II, Su launched a surprise attack overnight to capture the four northern islands!

The so-called "four northern islands" is the Japanese saying, Russia calls it the South Kuril Islands, referring to the southern Kuril Islands, Sedan, Tooth Dance, and Kunigami Islands in the south of the Kuril Islands. At the end of World War II, in return for the Soviet Union's troops against Japan, the Soviet Union, the United States and The United Kingdom stipulated in the Yalta Agreement: "The Kuril Islands must be handed over to the Soviet Union." Since then, the Soviet Union (including now Russia) has maintained de facto control over the territories. However, Japan believes that it has never given up its demand to reclaim the "four northern islands".

The Soviets decided to take it back by force

The Kuril Islands (known as the "Kuril Islands" by russia, and the "Four Northern Islands" by the Japanese side) refer to the four islands of Xuanyu, Sedan, Tooth Dance, and Kunigami, where Japanese people have lived and lived since ancient times. In the 18th century, the northern and southern parts of the Kuril Islands belonged to Japan and Russia. In the 19th century, Russia occupied the Kuril Islands and Sakhalin Island (Sakhalin Island), including the four northern islands. In 1905, due to the defeat in the Russo-Japanese War, Russia was forced to transfer control of the Kuril Islands and South Sakhalin Islands to Japan through the Treaty of Portsmouth.

After Establishing itself there, Japan closed not only Russia's exit to the Pacific, but also the sea lanes to kamchatka and the ports of the Chukotka Peninsula, and became a base for attacks on the coastal regions and the Far East.
