The Red War God of Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 331 The Battle of Nomonhan

As a person who has lived in the Internet age, Wu Aihua hopes that through his own efforts, he can change some short-sighted and superficial atmosphere.In particular, short-sighted behavior in construction projects has caused too many problems, such as bean curd projects, toxic food, and environmental pollution, which are always endangering people's lives and health.

The Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge is just an opportunity for Wu Aihua to express this idea.

In this design meeting, when discussing the Yangtze River, many issues such as shipping, water conservancy, and flood control of the Yangtze River will naturally be discussed.Wu Aihua instructed Song Zheyuan, the Minister of Land and Resources Management, to strengthen the investigation of hydrology, climate, geology, landforms, products, and flood disasters along the Yangtze River, and to establish a "River Management Bureau" within the Ministry of Land and Resources as soon as possible. Great rivers and rivers are carefully managed.

In the future river management, we must adhere to the principle of "coordinated development and overall consideration" of flood control, irrigation, shipping, and electricity, and adhere to the governance policy of "government leadership, expert guidance, project promotion, and public participation".

……

When Wu Aihua in the East was advancing China's construction projects one by one in the gap of peace, Hitler, the German head of state, also accelerated his adventurous pace.

Only half a year after the signing of the "Munich Agreement", Hitler suddenly sent troops to occupy the entire territory of Czechoslovakia, not only reneging on his international commitments, but also severely inciting Chamberlain and others.At this point, Chamberlain, Daladier and others understood that their "appeasement" policy not only failed to bring "peace for a generation", but pushed this "generation" into war.

It's just that war is inevitable.After occupying the entire territory of Czechoslovakia, Hitler turned his finger on neighboring Poland.

Due to many problems in history and wars in human society, there are almost no cases where territorial disputes do not occur between neighboring countries.At the end of the First World War, the victorious countries signed the "Treaty of Versailles", and Germany, the defeated country, had to cede most of West Prussia and the province of Posen to Poland.

Now that Germany has become stronger, Hitler asked Poland to return the city of Danzig, but Poland rejected Germany's request.This created an excuse for Germany to invade Poland.

If Germany wants to invade Poland, it has to pay attention to the attitude of Soviet Russia.But Soviet Russia has always been wary of Germany.After Germany occupied Czechoslovakia, the Soviet Union, Britain and France began to hold military and political negotiations for several months starting in April 1939.Soviet Russia asked Britain, France, and Russia to jointly guarantee the security of Eastern and Central Europe; however, Britain and France rejected Soviet Russia's positive proposal and instead agreed to Hitler's "freedom of action" in Central and Eastern Europe.

Although Hitler had been sending diplomatic representatives to Moscow to show that Germany had no intention of invading Soviet Russia, Soviet Russia could not believe Germany's promise at all.

At this time, an event that had a great impact on World War II broke out. This was the battle between the Japanese, Soviet Russia, and Mongolian troops in the Nomonhan area, which was known as the "Nomonhan Battle" or "Nomonhan Incident" in history.

The world has long since changed beyond recognition; Japan is no longer the nation that only knew arrogance back then!

On March 1938, 3, after the signing of the "Sino-Japanese Armistice Agreement", the Japanese army did not stay on Chinese soil, but rather readily withdrew the North China Front Army and the Fourth Army of the East China Front Army to the "Puppet Manchuria" The territory; and the South China Front Army in Taiwan with nearly 31 troops (about 4 captured), also mostly withdrew to the Japanese mainland, leaving only one army in Taiwan.In addition, the 50 Japanese soldiers captured by the National Defense Forces also returned to Japan by boat one after another.

The Sino-Japanese war that was fought until 1945 in history was more like a war rehearsal in parallel time and space. Apart from paying some money and nearly 10 soldiers who died, Japan had no special losses.

In fact, what Japan gained in this short war of less than a year was far greater than what it lost (it was defeated, but China did not take advantage of the victory to pursue it).The Japanese army honed their troops on the Chinese battlefield, and improved and improved their tactics. In the steel collision with the National Defense Forces, they knew that their tanks, artillery, and fighter planes were not good.

The Japanese have always obeyed the strong, and the Japanese are also particularly good at learning.In the defeat of the war in China, although in the publicity to the people, the emperor, the cabinet, the big bosses of the Ministry of the Army and the Ministry of the Navy all admitted that they had made mistakes and misjudged the strength of China, so they suffered "setbacks", but More remarks are saying that they have learned a lot from this war, the most important of which is that they have seen the gap with the world's advanced level. Although Japan is also a member of the advanced team, there are more advanced in the advanced Therefore, Japan must catch up.

How to catch up?Of course, it is to speed up the research and development of new weapons and equipment, and arm the Imperial Japanese Army as soon as possible.

When the Japanese negotiating delegation returned home, they were treated like heroes.

Foreign Minister Koki Hirota reported China's political situation in detail to the emperor and the cabinet as a "positive representative", and believed that China was about to change its leader, and Wu Aihua was definitely the most powerful competitor.He suggested that Japan improve relations with Wu Aihua and the National Defense Forces.

The "Military Representative" Ishihara Waner seems to have achieved the greatest achievement, bringing the captives back without spending much money, and he also found out Wu Aihua's attitude.The Japanese cabinet of this generation has always aimed to conquer China, so they have a deep understanding of Chinese culture. Therefore, they basically believed in Wu Aihua's attitude and believed that Wu Aihua could become Japan's "friend".Ishihara Wanji's prediction was verified a few months later. German Foreign Minister Ribbentrop fully grasped Wu Aihua's "pulse". Wu Aihua even agreed to sell advanced artillery, tanks and fighter planes to Japan!

Wu Aihua agreed to sell advanced weapons to Japan, and some Japanese generals began to fantasize about whether they would fight China again after holding these weapons. Thinking of it as a fool?If others dare to sell you advanced weapons, at least they still have more advanced things in their hands, or more such weapons!

That's right, it's a murderous weapon.If others dare to sell it to you, it means that others are not afraid of you.Gradually, the Japanese side stopped talking about conquering China.

Of course, not mentioning it does not mean giving up aggressive ambitions.It's just that everyone buried this kind of thinking deeper.

The Japanese army, which has undergone the "baptism" of war in China, is no longer the army with first-rate ambitions and second-rate combat power in history.As soon as the Battle of Nomonhan started, Mongolia and Soviet Russia suffered heavy losses.

In fact, since 1935, there have been military frictions between Japan and Russia in the Nomonhan area, and Japan wants to use this to "test" the military strength of Soviet Russia.But this kind of friction and "provocation" mostly ended with Japan suffering.

1939年5月初，日本关东军河村恭辅第5军麾下第24师团（历史上为23师团）骑兵联队长东八百藏中佐率骑兵600余人及战车部队，在关东军空军5架飞机的掩护下，向哈拉哈河以东的蒙军742高地攻击。理由是蒙古警察率领蒙国牧民进入了有争议的地区放牧。

Historically, this small battle ended with more than 30 casualties of the Mongolian army.However, the Japanese combat at this time had a little taste of the "blitzkrieg" of the National Defense Forces. Hundreds of Mongolian troops were surrounded by Japanese tank troops as soon as they fled.The Mongolian army had to surrender after paying the price of more than 100 lives.

Of course, this was just a small test, and the Mongolian army's combat effectiveness was not strong, so the Japanese army did not get carried away with it.Their purpose is to attract the army of Soviet Russia.

After the war broke out, the Soviet Russian government immediately dispatched the 11th Tank Brigade to the Haraha River area in accordance with the "Soviet-Mongolia Mutual Assistance Agreement" to form a "confrontation" with the Japanese army.

At this time, the 24th Division of the Japanese Army was equipped with not only the Japanese Type 12 tanks, but also the "t-24" tanks from China. However, because the number of such tanks sold in China Fewer, the 12th Tank Regiment, only allocated [-] such "assault tanks", just to form a tank brigade.

The 11th Tank Brigade of the Soviet Union is larger than the tank regiment organized in the Marine Division of the National Defense Army, with a total of 144 tanks.At this time, the Soviet Russian tanks did not have the perverted things like the t-34, and their weight was at most about 15 tons, which was better than the Japanese bean tanks and slightly heavier than the "assault tanks" of the Wehrmacht.

A tank company from the Soviet Union went out to reconnaissance by the Haraha River, but was inevitably blocked by a tank squadron of the Japanese army. The two sides immediately used tank guns to attack!

The four bean chariots of the Japanese army stopped working soon, one was hit and exploded, and the other was beaten to the ground.

After receiving the report, the 24th Tank Regiment of the Japanese Army immediately dispatched four "Assault Chariots". Except for the two weaknesses of weak firepower and weak armor protection, this is definitely a very good infantry assault equipment.

12-ton tanks pk 15-ton tanks. After a few rounds of fighting between the two sides, a Soviet Russian tank was set on fire.

The same 37 tank gun, why is the 12-ton tank okay, but the 15-ton tank caught fire?The reason is that the "t-12" assault tank is more resistant to shelling in terms of shape design!

Of course, Soviet Russia would not allow its tanks to be destroyed by the Japanese army. Therefore, after the Japanese army sent reinforcements, Soviet Russia sent a tank battalion with a total of 12 tanks for reinforcements at one time.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" By the Halaha River, the remaining 6 tanks of the Japanese army confronted the 17 tanks of the Japanese army.

Can the Japanese army compete?The two sides fought fiercely for about half an hour, and only 6 of the 1 tanks of the Japanese army remained, while the loss of Soviet Russia was as high as 8!These 8 vehicles were all destroyed by the "t-12" assault tank, and the exchange ratio reached an astonishing 3:8, because the remaining one from the Japanese side was also a "t-12" assault tank car.
