Operation August Storm, which took place in the northeast, was a solemn commitment of the Soviets to the Allies. After the end of the European battlefield, the Soviets' previous promise to invade East Asia within three months will be fulfilled, and the Soviet general Vasinevsky, who commanded 1.5 million people to fight against the Kwantung Army entrenched in the northeast, quickly achieved a major victory. In fact, if you think about it seriously, the person who is suitable for the commander-in-chief of the Far East is Zhukov, because Zhukov has previously commanded the operation in the Far East, commanded the Battle of Nomonhan, and has a deep understanding of the japanese army's combat methods.
This was almost the first time that Vasilevsky single-handedly commanded a million-strong battle, and vasilevsky had previously worked mainly as a staff officer and was called "office marshal". Why did he accomplish the Apocalypse Judgment of the Kwantung Army?
In fact, Zhukov had already shined in the Battle of Berlin, and if zhukov was sent to fight in the Far East, it would be a bit of a cattle knife. Whoever was the first to lead an army into Berlin would surely go down in history, and Zhukov was stalin's hand-picked commander of the Battle of Berlin, which the Soviet marshals knew. After the capture of Berlin, Zhukov also assumed the task of speaking for the Soviet army, responsible for negotiating post-war matters with the Allies on the Western Front.
This was arranged in advance, so after World War II Zhukov was appointed commander of the Soviet army in the German occupation zone, and indeed only Zhukov was qualified to take on this task. As for Vasilevsky, this man was chosen as the commander of the Far East Battlefield for a reason. Vasilevsky's popularity has always been good, and he is also very tactically minded, and he made great contributions to the defense of Moscow, and in the later Battle of Stalingrad, Vasilevsky was also Zhukov's best partner, but the credit for this was credited to Zhukov.
Vasilevsky's status as a marshal actually lacks strong support for battle achievements, and this marshal who rides on rockets needs a big battle to prove himself. And the Kwantung Army in the Far East, the Soviet Army also knew that no matter which marshal was sent over, the final victory must belong to the Soviet Army. And Vasilevsky is undoubtedly the best candidate.
Before the Battle of Berlin, the Soviets began to mobilize their forces to the Far East, and Vasilevsky knew his mission, a battle that took long enough to prepare. What do you think?
