Chapter 801 Blitzkrieg

The border between China and Mongolia in the Far East, Nomonhan.

The rampant posture of the Japanese army in the Far East was strongly attacked by the Soviet army here.

At this time, the German military officers invited by Japan to watch the battle had already left, leaving only a sentence, "Japan's military level has made great progress compared with the early days of World War I." '

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

Japan, which took the initiative to provoke this war, judged that after the great purge of the Soviet Union, 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 failures, he still stubbornly believes that the Soviet army is far weaker than himself 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 just fought on behalf of Northern Mongolia and the Puppet Manchukuo supported by each. The Japanese army mobilized a total of more than 30,000 people, but only half of the regiment was actually dispatched.

The remaining half of the regiment was stationed in the territory of Puppet Manchuria as a "left-behind division".

But in fact, even if everyone is sent, the Japanese army will inevitably fail.

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

One month ago, on July 23, the Japanese army was unwilling to fail twice. They stubbornly believed that the Soviet army was backward in technology, and still regarded the strength of the Soviet army as it was during the Russo-Japanese War.

Therefore, the Japanese army once again mobilized three heavy artillery regiments to participate in the battle, hoping to fight a beautiful turnaround.

However, the firepower of the Japanese army was not enough in front of the Soviet army's large-caliber artillery, and the Japanese heavy artillery unit was suppressed by the Soviet army and could not hold its head up.

On August 24, the big counter-offensive continued.

The reputation of the Japanese Kwantung Army, which claimed to be "invincible", was discredited and launched the final madness.

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

During the three-month battle, the Soviet Union's air force, heavy artillery, tanks and other armored units continued to reinforce, while the Japanese army, whose main force went south and fell into the Huaguo battlefield, had almost no reinforcements.

What is even more exaggerated is that the Soviet army consumed nearly 100,000 tons of supplies during 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 suppression of equipment, while the Japanese casualties were only 19,000, which was even less than 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. It is just right to kill one thousand enemies and lose eight hundred.

But at the current stage, the Battle of Normanhan has been completely mythical.

The myth of the Japanese Far East Army in the Far East was actually broken by the former defeated general, the Soviet Union.

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 side also publicized this, but deliberately ignored the "victor" of the Soviet Union, but belittled the strength of the Japanese military.

In the base camp of Japan's territory, the resignation of the Japanese Hiranuma cabinet caused changes in the country's development policy, and the undercurrents in Japan's military and political circles were excited.

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

At the end of August, the Japanese headquarters decided to mobilize 2 divisions, 2 field heavy artillery squadrons, 9 rapid-fire artillery squadrons, 16 field anti-aircraft artillery squadrons, 1 flying squadron and 22 car squadrons in Huaguo to support them.

At the same time, the Dianling Kwantung Command mobilized 3 divisions, a total of more than 29,000 people and the main border defense force to advance in an attempt to defeat the Soviet Union and wash away its grievances.

…………

The base camp of Japan, because of the non-aggression agreement between Germany and the Soviet Union, the Triple Alliance advocated by the Japanese military was completely aborted.

Japanese Army Minister Seishiro Sakagaki was completely kicked out of the highest decision-making level due to factors such as the downfall of the Hiranuma cabinet and the non-aggression agreement between Germany and the Soviet Union.

After that, Nobuyuki Abe came to power to form a new cabinet as a balance of forces among all parties.

At this time, the Abe cabinet, which had just come to power, had not had time to celebrate before it received the heavy news that the European campaign had expanded again and Germany's lightning raid on Poland.

Eastern Europe,

After a non-aggression pact with the Soviet Union, the little man's ambitions to annex Poland were unimpeded.

On September 1, the little man personally ordered from his hilltop villa in the "Eagle's Nest" in the Berchtesgaden Alps in Bavaria to launch a "lightning attack" on Poland. '

The war has shown a one-sided trend from the beginning. Poland's strategic thinking is fundamentally wrong, and its thinking is still at the level of World War I.

In Poland, the military still believes that warfare should be based on trench warfare and simple soldier assaults as the main means of warfare.

Therefore, in the preparation stage, they distributed a large number of elites to the front line of the Bo-German border, and reserved the reserve team in the depth line.

According to the thinking of the Poles, if the German army breaks through the front line and then fills it with a deep team, the German army at that time must be exhausted.

How could Poland have imagined that the German army used tank divisions to open the way, mechanized motorcycle troops and convoy transportation, and at the same time attacked airports and fortresses with interceptors and bombers.

The troops in the rear were still in a 'vacation' state, and they saw various enemy planes flying overhead, sending 'chubby' condolences.

America, New York.

The trading floor on Wall Street was full of people, and the bleakness brought about by the Great Depression had completely disappeared.

War, war is coming!

Keen bankers were already on the move long before Germany launched the 'Blitzkrieg'.

In the foreign exchange market, a large number of transactions are frequently bought and sold.

The stock prices of various companies involved in strategic materials soared, and the market value of Polish industries plummeted.

In Germany, the Jews who were restricted from trading took every opportunity to conduct secret transactions in churches and cemeteries.

They only trade with their own people, and all transaction records will be replaced by passwords and recorded in the small notebooks they carry.

200 grams of vegetables, 2 canned meat in iron boxes, and 2 blankets to keep out the cold.

200 kilograms of vegetables, 20,000 canned meat in iron boxes, and 20,000 pieces of warm blankets will be sent to suppliers in time.

As for the purchase channel, money can turn ghosts, this sentence should be written into the English dictionary.

In the headquarters of Wells Fargo, stock traders are calling the shots in the foreign exchange market. Half of the busyness of the New York Stock Exchange is due to their actions.

Today, Li Zitao has really become a hands-off shopkeeper.

He only needs to know the company's quarterly development plan, capital flow, transfer of senior management and specific benefits.

The handling of other related matters will naturally have a large team within the company to be responsible for it.

The quarterly shareholder meeting is the only occasion he will attend on time.

To accommodate his time, companies had to stagger meetings 15 days before the end of each quarter to ensure his presence.

Recently, the business of the agricultural products and meat processing plants under Li's Real Estate is booming.

There are also Pepsi and Jonathan's canned ham. The former has outlawed the status of delicious food and distributed it to the streets and hotel restaurants.

In particular, Hualian Supermarket did not refuse Coke's entry, but placed it in the most inconspicuous corner, while Pepsi placed it in the most eye-catching position.
