When the Kwantung Army is mentioned, the Chinese will hate itchy, because it was the vanguard of Japan's invasion of our land, which did countless evils in our rich northeastern land, occupied our resources, and enslaved our compatriots to do things for them.
In 1945, in the northeast of the mainland where the Soviet Union was connected, a famous Far Eastern Campaign took place, and the Kwantung Army could no longer recover. This famous Soviet general is Vasilevsky.
Speaking of Vasilevsky, it seems that there are not many wars that can be mentioned, and the Far East campaign can be regarded as a representative, because the work he did was not to directly command the war, but to start from the entire war situation, to coordinate the mobilization of personnel and horses of all sides, balance the uneven resources, and formulate war plans under different circumstances to contribute to the war. He has high ability and has the vision to control the battlefield from the whole situation, but he has never directly shown his talent through the battlefield.
At the end of World War II, he was directly involved in the Far Eastern Campaign, which was called the first formal frontal war between the Soviet Union and Japan on the battlefield, and it emerged as a strong victor.
Before the start of the campaign, he did a lot of preliminary work, the time can be traced back to a year ago, in the war between the Soviet Union and Germany, from the overall trend of the war, he expected that there would be a war with Japan, the location may be in Northeast China and North Korea, and then began to formulate the preliminary plan for the Far East campaign, including the collection of materials, the method of the decisive battle, the location of the decisive battle, etc.
In May of the following year, he personally went to the front line to find out the terrain, explore the natural environment, negotiate with local commanders with rich combat experience, and revise his plan in light of the actual situation at that time, especially the calculation of the speed of advance of troops in mountainous areas.
In August, the Far Eastern campaign officially began. The campaign adopted an all-out offensive and a rapid advance of the blockade and rescue method. From the very beginning, he directed the army to start an attack on the main force of the Kwantung Army directly from the front, driving the Japanese army back and forth. He had a very unique vision of taking into account the overall situation of the war, and commanded the air force in the rear, and threw a large number of artillery fire and airborne troops into Northeast China, blocking the rescue of the rear of the Kwantung Army. With his unique vision, he commanded the entire battle to advance step by step according to his plan.
On August 19, the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, Tian Yisan, surrendered, just 10 days after the start began. However, the historical record of this battle is 24 days, Vasilevsky defeated about 1 million men of the Japanese Kwantung Army into a falling water dog, and a large part of Northeast China was liberated. His efforts for our peace will always be remembered by us.
Heroes are also produced in the grinding, and perhaps the previous obscurity is preparing for a certain amazement. Isn't Vasilevsky a prime example?
How many times did he study and work hard behind the scenes to have such a detailed plan and become famous.
In fact, the cruelty behind the war is unimaginable, I don't know how many people have sacrificed and shed blood, how many families have been torn apart, we are grateful to Vasilevsky, and we are also grateful to countless heroes who have not left their names, and cherish today's peace even more.
