It has been a week since the German military observer group arrived at Nomenkan, and since this week, we have observed only one successful Soviet offensive under the arrangement of the Soviet high-level, and inspected the positions of the Japanese Kwantung Army that were later occupied by the Soviet troops.

From the point of view of the Soviet army, the overall strength of the Soviet army surpassed that of Japan.

I don't know why, the Japanese dared to provoke a dispute and attack first, even though they had far fewer troops to attack than the Soviet Union, which is very puzzling.

However, the exchange ratio of the Soviet army was not good.

When we first visited the General Headquarters of the Soviet Army, we found that after the orders were given here, the regimental commanders and even the division commanders below were often unable to complete them accurately.

Moreover, their middle and senior commanders are even more young and terrible. It's like just graduating from military school and being promoted.

After 7 days of observation, we found that these young officers did not have the ability to command large forces.

There they were unable to effectively fulfill a lot of orders from the command.

And in terms of the successful offensive we observed, the tactics shown by the Soviets were also very rigid.

We saw with our own eyes that a large number of mid- and high-ranking Soviet commanders ordered one "crowd charge" after another to attack the Japanese positions.

Although they won in the end, their losses were terrifying!

If this kind of behavior had been in the Wehrmacht, I believe that the general who ordered it would have been court-martialed.

However, the Soviet commander who finally commanded the battle was actually commended.

However, considering that the Supreme Commander of the Soviet Army, General Zhukov, had already shot and killed two division commanders who had retreated without authorization in the two days since the arrival of our observation mission, it is understandable to commend this commander who was not afraid of casualties.

On the other hand, the senior commanders of the Soviet army and the low-level soldiers were still qualified.

From a week of contact, I can conclude that the Supreme Commander of the Soviet Army, Zhukov, was a very talented person. His military talent is outstanding, and his execution ability is quite ruthless and decisive.

The Mission recommends that more attention be paid to this person in the country. After all, after the end of the Polish campaign, the Wehrmacht already bordered the area under the actual control of the Soviet Army, and if there is a change in the future, this person may become a strong enemy of the Wehrmacht!

In addition, there are various deficiencies in the weapons of the Soviet army that we have now discovered.

Judging by the wreckage of the tank that we found on the battlefield, the Soviet army now with the T26 tank is almost no different from the Führer's estimates, and the great Führer is completely right about the characteristics of this tank.

There was no universal radio station, which was bound to make it very inconvenient for the command and liaison of the Soviet armored forces. Because the command tank has a very conspicuous antenna, it is often the target of concentrated attacks by the Japanese army, and for this reason, we see a large number of wreckage of the command tank.

The exchange ratio of the Soviet Air Force is ugly, the airfield received a surprise attack in the early stage and lost a lot of aircraft, and the later fight was not satisfactory, this should be the difference in the quality of personnel, and the difference in the quality of the pilots should be the most obvious.

Five days ago, we passed through a large makeshift airfield, and there were only eight planes parked. This is enough to reflect the embarrassment of the Soviet Air Force from the side.

But yesterday, when we passed by again, the airfield was filled with dozens of I-15 fighter jets described by the Führer. It has to be said that the fighter base of the Soviet army is simply too large, and they can afford to consume it completely.

We heard the Soviet top brag that they had put more than 500 fighters in this area!

Compared with the Soviet army, the Japanese army is far inferior to the Soviet army in terms of the number of personnel and technical equipment on the whole, and most of the technical equipment level is also inferior to the Soviet army, but with its tenacious will to fight, it has given the Soviet army great casualties!

Judging from the command style of the officers, the tactical command of the Japanese army was decent, and even the tactics of some officers were very rigid.

However, the fighting will of the low-level soldiers of the Japanese Kwantung Army was very strong, comparable to that of our German army.

These soldiers are not only tough, but also have a decent level of training, at least excellent marksmanship.

In addition, they have an incredible "suicidal" spirit!

In the face of the Soviet attack, instead of hiding in bunkers, they actually rushed out of the trenches to fight a counter-charge!

These Kwantung Army soldiers did the same in the face of tanks, armed with various suicide weapons and shouting ugly slogans to commit suicide.

It was unbelievable that this wasting of soldiers' lives was so prevalent here.

The Japanese artillery armament was generally inferior to that of the Soviets, and we learned that the armor-piercing ability of the captured Type 94 37mm rapid-fire guns was extremely low, and even far inferior to the Pak37 combat defense guns in the Wehrmacht, which has now been reduced to training aids.

However, it seems that due to the weak armor of Soviet tanks, this less powerful direct-aim gun can still fire at close range, causing damage to Soviet tanks.

In general, the Japanese artillery is inferior to the Soviet army regardless of the firing range and power, and some indicators are simply far inferior to the Soviet army, which also leads to a very large advantage in heavy firepower.

As for light weapons, the Japanese were keen to carry out suicide attacks, such as rushing at Soviet tanks with cluster grenades or explosives hanging from their bodies, or soldiers trying to burn tanks at close range at night by throwing Molotov cocktails at very close range.

However, according to the unilateral statistics of the Soviet Union, this anti-tank weapon, invented in the Spanish Civil War, caused only 6% of the total Soviet tank losses.

The Japanese also had an anti-tank weapon that the Soviets called an adsorption mine, which was said to require soldiers to approach the tank, then use its magnetism to stick to the outside of the tank, pull it out, and then evacuate.

It was a seemingly acceptable anti-tank weapon, but in the battle we watched, the commander of the Kwantung Army, who had no regard for the lives of his soldiers, actually had several of these anti-tank mines hanging on his soldiers roll into the bottom of a Soviet tank and detonate.

This is a crime!

Among the other small arms captured by the Kwantung Army, there was a Southern 14 pistol that looked very much like our Luger pistol, but was not at all useful in reality.

However, there is a weapon called the Type 89 grenadier that is very distinctive.

This curved fire weapon can be said to be the core of the firepower of the Japanese squad, and in the hands of some veterans is even able to effectively hit targets such as light fortifications, machine gun nests, etc.

And because of the curved trajectory, these Kwantung Army can almost use grenadiers like mortars to effectively kill and injure people in the trenches.

The grenadiers used by the Japanese were not only lighter than mortars, but also could be easily operated by a single soldier and carry a sufficient amount of ammunition.

However, it is worth noting that this weapon does not have an aiming system, and its accuracy is completely dependent on the experience of the shooter.

As a final mention, we found the remains of launch tubes of an earlier model of Tekken on the positions of the Kwantung Army.

Although it is not known how the Kwantung Army got this weapon, for now, the Soviets have not yet received a complete sample of the Iron Fist.

However, the Japanese army already showed signs of retreat, and the situation was not optimistic.

Therefore, our Soviet troops believe that it is certain that in the future it is possible to capture a full-fledged iron fist.

In addition, we also took a special look at the Soviet tanks that were destroyed by the Iron Fist.

We found that even the early Iron Fist model could still cause great damage to Soviet tanks.

We have seen a tank destroyed by an iron fist, where a jet of metal pierced through the armor and pierced the neck of the Soviet driver, killed the commander in the turret, and then detonated the ammunition stored in the tank.

In this regard, we have secretly taken photos and records, and are preparing to bring them back to China for reference in the future.

At present, the Japanese army has shown signs of retreat, but the resistance is still strong, the two sides are still fighting fiercely, and our observer mission is closely monitoring the situation and collecting all valuable military information.

This report is top secret, please destroy it immediately after reporting to the country.
