The Japanese army in Nomenham fired 5000 shells in three hours. How did the Soviets respond?

During the period of 1939, the Soviet Union and Japan fought a battle in Nomenkan, a border area between Manchuria and Mongolia, which lasted more than four months, and was called the Battle of Nomenkan in history. It was this fierce battle that the Soviet Union completely defeated and frightened Japan!

Next, let's see how Japan was beaten. Before this war, the Japanese army, which has always been known for its tenacity, madness and shameless, still had some psychological advantages. Because in the Russo-Japanese War of 1904, Japan won another battle after the Sino-Japanese Sino-Japanese War of 1894 at a painful price, and thought it had the strength to dominate Asia and even the world.

Therefore, Japan, which is not rich in the world, decided the idea of the Soviet Union, trying to get through the channel of northward advancement strategy with the help of Nomenkan World War I as a springboard to attack the Soviet Union, thus realizing the strategic intention of attacking the Soviet Union with Nazi Germany in the west.

After the war:

At first, due to the sudden incident, the Soviet Union was not prepared enough, and the Japanese army took the advantage and took the initiative. Subsequently, the Japanese army wanted to pursue victory, so it invited a lot of military support, including a large number of Japanese air force units. At this time, zhukov, who served as deputy commander in Belarus, was urgently transferred by Stalin to the front line of Nomenkan to fight with the Japanese army.

1on the evening of June 26th, 939, the Japanese air force unexpectedly bombed the Soviet-Mongolian allied war zone, which was more than 0/00 kilometers deep in Mongolia, and achieved initial results. Later, a lot of support was mobilized from China, including the First Tank Division (the only tank division in Japan), which was praised as a national treasure by Japan. At this time, the Japanese army launched a large-scale attack on the Soviet Union and Mongolia.

Due to the serious shortage of Soviet troops, they had to retreat. Zhukov ordered a tug-of-war with the Japanese, while urgently requesting reinforcements from Moscow. At this point, after further expanding the results, the Japanese army sent a large number of troops (including infantry and tanks, and the army's main force was Lieutenant General Komatsubara's 23rd Division) to March on Bayin Chagang Mountain, and occupied Bayin Chagang Highland on July 5.

Zhukov noted that the Bayin Chagang Highland occupied by the Japanese army was flat, which was very suitable for large-scale armored operations. So, while waiting for the rear support, he waited for the Japanese army to continue to deepen.

On July 1939, Soviet reinforcements arrived. Zhukov immediately ordered the Air Force to blow up the temporary pontoon bridge of the Japanese army and block its retreat. Subsequently, the ground troops were quickly mobilized, and 1 1 tank brigade was ordered to attack the Japanese army in Bayin Chagang Highland. At this point, tank battle officially kicked off.

Because the Japanese tanks were completely blown up by Soviet tanks, the Japanese army was defeated and the First Tank Division was disabled. The defeated Komatsubara was not reconciled. /kloc-in July of 0/3, it launched a germ war against the Soviet Union and Mongolia. As a result, the frenzied Japanese army not only did not hurt the Soviet army in the slightest, but instead lifted a rock to drop it on its own feet, losing more than 1300 people.

At this time, the 23rd Division of the Japanese Army in Komatsubara, the main force of the Nomenkan campaign, was badly weakened and had to enter a state of rest. After 1 week's rest, Komatsubara used his killer weapon, transferred the artillery wing of the Kwantung Army to the front line, launched two hours of heavy shelling on the Soviet troops on the west bank of the Haraha River, and fired more than 10000 shells. Faced with the precise shelling by the Japanese, zhukov decided to move the Soviet artillery group to a new position to avoid the Japanese attack.

After the transfer, the Soviet artillery units immediately launched a strong counterattack against the Japanese artillery units on the east coast. After accurately locating the Japanese position, it only took 1 hour to fire more than 30,000 shells at the Japanese position. The position of the kwantung army instantly turned into a sea of fire! Faced with the powerful firepower of the Soviet Union, the Japanese army was helpless and began to collapse.

The infantry even asked the nearby artillery not to fight back, so as not to attract more violent blows. At this point, the kwantung army has been in flight. Faced with this situation, the Kwantung Army Command ordered to stop the attack immediately, occupy the Eastern Front, build positions, and prepare for a protracted war.

At this time, zhukov thought it was the best time to annihilate the Japanese army in one fell swoop. At the beginning of August, zhukov ordered large troops to go to the front, and began to attack and buy off the Japanese army in mid-August. On August 20, the Soviet army launched a general attack, and the air force and artillery units continued to attack the Japanese positions. The Japanese army suffered a fiasco, and nine regiments of the Kwantung Army were wiped out. Soon after, Komatsubara committed suicide by caesarean section.

On September 3, the headquarters of the Kwantung Army ordered to stop fighting. On September 9, Japan demanded a truce from the Soviet Union. 15 In September, Japanese Ambassador to the Soviet Union Dongxiang and Soviet Foreign Minister Molotov signed an armistice agreement, and the two sides stopped all actual military operations at 2 am on September 16. At this point, the battle of Nomenkan, which lasted for more than four months, ended in the defeat of the Japanese army.

The Battle of Nomenham lasted 135 days. The two sides invested more than 200,000 soldiers, more than 500 cannons, 900 planes, thousands of tanks and armored vehicles on the battlefield, with more than 60,000 casualties. In the general attack on August 20, the Soviet army invested 524 tanks, 385 armored vehicles, 542 suppression guns and 500 planes.

During the whole campaign, the Soviet army consumed 80,000 tons of combat materials, only shells and bombs consumed 3 1000 tons, while the Japanese army consumed less than 2,000 tons of various materials. In the Battle of Nomenkan, 9703 Soviet troops were killed, injured 1525 1 person and sick 70 1 person, totaling 25655 people.

The Japanese army killed 7,696 people, missing 102 1 person, injured 8,647 people, and fell ill 2,350 people, with a total loss of19,000 people. Among them, 62.7% was lost to Soviet shelling and aerial bombing. After all, the Soviets fired 365,438+10,000 tons of shells and bombs!

History tells us that in the face of imperialist Japan, the best way is to subdue it, scare it and make it doubt life, so as to avoid future troubles forever!
