Far Eastern Huameng border, Normenhan.

The rampant posture of the Japanese army in the Far East, where it was heavily sniped by the Soviet troops.

At this time, the German ** officer who had been invited by Japan to watch the battle had already left, leaving only one sentence: 'Japan's military level has greatly improved compared with the early stage of World War I. ’

This humiliating judgment caused the Japanese army and its local base camp to set off a monstrous storm.

Japan, which took the initiative to provoke this war, judged that after the Soviet Union underwent a great purge, its combat effectiveness would be greatly reduced, and its command would be paralyzed, which would be conducive to the direction of the war.

Even after two defeats, they still stubbornly believe that the Soviet army is far inferior to itself in terms of weapons, equipment and command capabilities.

In fact, this battle developed to the end, and Japan and the Soviet Union never declared war.

The two sides only fought in place of the Northern Mongolia and the puppet Manchurians supported by each other, and the Japanese army used a total of more than 30,000 people, but only half of the wing was really dispatched.

The remaining half of the wing was stationed in the territory of the puppet Manchurians as a 'left-behind division'.

But in fact, even if there were people in the station, the Japanese army would inevitably fail.

The Soviet army's artillery and tank combat capabilities, as well as its extremely strong firepower, completely crushed the Japanese army in terms of equipment.

A month earlier, on July 23, the Japanese army was unwilling to be defeated twice, stubbornly believing that the Soviet army was technologically backward, and still regarded the strength of the Soviet army as during the Russo-Japanese War.

As a result, the Japanese army once again mobilized 3 heavy artillery wings to participate in the battle, wanting to fight a beautiful turnaround.

However, the firepower of the Japanese army was simply not enough in the face of the large-caliber artillery of the Soviet army, and the Japanese heavy artillery wing was suppressed by the Soviet army and could not raise its head.

On 24 August, the major counteroffensive continued.

The self-proclaimed 'invincible' Japanese Kwantung Army was discredited and launched a final madness.

In fact, the performance of the Japanese army in this battle was remarkable, but in terms of military quality, it was crushing the Soviet Union.

During the three-month engagement, the Soviet side continued to reinforce the air force, heavy artillery, tanks and other armored forces, while the Japanese army, which was trapped in the Chinese battlefield with its main force south, had almost no reinforcements.

What is even more exaggerated is that the Soviet army consumed nearly 100,000 tons of materials in the war, while the Japanese army consumed only 20,000 tons.

In terms of casualties, the Soviet Union suffered more than 20,000 casualties under the condition of equipment suppression, while the Japanese casualties were only 19,000, which was less than that of the victorious Soviet Union.

Therefore, it seems that the Soviet army won this victory, but in fact it did not take any advantage at all, killing 1,000 enemies and losing 800 is just right.

But at the present stage, the Battle of Normenheim has been completely mythologized.

The myth of the Japanese Far Eastern Army in the Far East was unexpectedly broken by the Soviet Union with its own hands after the defeat of its former subordinates.

Countless people rushed to tell each other about the strength of the Soviet army and the fact that the Japanese army was not invincible.

The international community also made a lot of noise about it, but deliberately ignored the Soviet Union as the 'victor' and instead belittled the strength of the Japanese military.

The resignation of Japan's Hiranuma cabinet has brought about changes in the country's development policy, and the undercurrents in Japan's military and political circles have been excited.

The Japanese military, arrogant and unable to accept this humiliating fact, was determined to fight back.

In late August, the Japanese base camp decided to mobilize 2 divisions, 2 field heavy artillery squadrons, 9 rapid-fire artillery squadrons, 16 field antiaircraft artillery squadrons, 1 flying squadron, and 22 automobile squadrons in China to provide support.

At the same time, the Kanto Command mobilized three divisions, totaling more than 29,000 people, and the main force of the border garrison to advance in an attempt to defeat the Soviet Union and wash away grievances.

In Japan's base camp, due to the German-Soviet non-aggression agreement, the Triple Alliance once advocated by the Japanese military was completely aborted.

Japanese War Minister Seishiro Sakagaki was completely ousted from the top decision-making level due to factors such as the fall of the Hiranuma cabinet and the German-Soviet non-aggression pact.

After that, Nobuyuki Abe, who was the balance of power of all parties, came to power and formed a new cabinet.

At this time, the Abe cabinet, which had just come to power, had not had time to celebrate, when it received the bombshell news that the European campaign had expanded again and that Germany had raided Poland with lightning.

In Eastern Europe, after a non-aggression pact with the Soviet Union, the ambitions of the dwarfs to annex Poland were no longer hindered.

On 1 September, the dwarf personally ordered a 'lightning attack' on Poland from his hilltop villa in the 'Eagle's Nest' in the Bavarian Berchtesgaden Alps. ’

From the very beginning of the war, there was a tendency to turn one-sided, and Poland's strategic thinking was fundamentally wrong, and its thinking remained at the level of World War I.

In Poland, the military still believed that war should be based on trench warfare, simple soldier shock as the main means of warfare.

Therefore, in the preparatory stage, they distributed a large number of elites to the Polish-German border front to deploy, and kept reserves in the deep line.

According to the Poles' thinking, if the Germans broke through the line and filled it with deep teams, the Germans would be exhausted at that time.

Where could Poland have imagined that the German ** team would open the way with tank divisions, mechanize motorized troops and convoy transportation, and attack airfields and fortresses with interceptors and bombers at the same time.

The rear troops were still in a state of 'vacation' when they saw all kinds of enemy planes flying overhead, sending 'fat doo' condolences.
