Battle of Khalkhin Gol 1939 - Soviet-Japanese War DOCUMENTARY

We are demonetized yet again. Consider liking this video to keep it alive. Thanks :-) EDIT. The video is now monetized

Seems to me that the Japanese used a reconnaissance in force over the border to test Soviet defenses, resolve, and basically poke the bear. The Soviet response was a maximum effort to send a message to the Japanese. What happened is a result of two different levels of force projection, recon vs maximum effort, thus the two different size forces and predictable results. I don't think this is indicative of how a Japanese invasion of the USSR in support of Barbarossa would have gone per se. If the Japanese send a maximum effort in June/July 1941, I think they could have succeeded in cutting the trans-Siberian rail line, cutting off the Soviet Far East, and probably advanced to the Lake Baikal area by 1942. That precludes any war in the Pacific and a curtailment of the war with China though.

Demonitization is nothing more than Soviet style or Orwellian rewriting of history.

Japan thought that with basically an infantry force with little armor and poor artillery it could lock horns with the Soviet colossus. It was literally wiped out in the process. Japanese hubris that with Bushido spirit it could win over a technically superior and better equipped foe was sorely mistaken. Nomonhan convinced Japan that nothing would be gained from attacking Russia. They went south instead.

日本が太古から警戒していたのは大陸からの侵略で
明治維新以降はロシアの粗暴さと侵略的な南下政策に対抗して軍拡路線を取らざるをえなかったが
この頃は四方向を敵に回すのは得策ではなかった
しかしヒトラーはそんなことを気にもとめなかった
そしてロシアは現在も同じである

russia mongol 2 friends

My great grand father sacarficed his self in a tank and almost all mongolian great grand fathers fought in this war and sacarficed his self he was the only person who said we won in the war field and got killed and i am crying rn

Zhukov had the genius of a panzer general, the ruthlessness of a Russian marshal, the courage of a Japanese samurai, the ego of an American, and the stubbornness of an English Duke.

Woow
Cavalry in 1939

Great to hear about the commies and nips lowering their respective armies numbers.

In praise of Genesis khan intensifies

For everyone here saying the japanese didn't invade Russia even Germany was at the gates because they're afraid... Nope..its ,because they had a peace pact ... Unlike the Germans who are a-holes and back stabbers , the japanese are imperial soldiers, who even if it might sound bullshiit.... The code of Bushido that they revise and used in there code of honor compelled them to honor the pact... Not that they're afraid... As a matter of fact its the other way around... The Russians were afraid to fight the japanese for they will surely loose the fight between two fronts... And stalin focusing on his eastern front ... The defense of his west are lacking .... His best general even argued to stalin that if he continue to take weapons and men from his post ... What will he defend against the japanese if they invade ... Sticks and stones....

Japanese by far, fighted well

World of Tanks should just disappear and go bankrupt.

Believe it or not,most people and Americans have never heard of the battle

I am here because I read 'The wind-up bird chronicle' by Haruki Murakami. River Khalkha, lieutenant Mamiya, Hulunbuir well, terrible description of pilling skin... Great book!

I wish Genghis khan was still alive

I found out about this battle from Radio Tapok, and you guys gave an excellent in depth explanation!

Thank you for this video... Very detailed! Great inspiration for my future brickfilm
