Hitler asked Japan to attack India. Why can't the Japanese army of 100,000 troops fight after one battle?

Why can't the Japanese army with a hundred thousand troops fight in one battle?

The main thing is that I was beaten too hard and miserable.

When the Japanese army began to attack, there were about 65438+ ten thousand people. As a result, more than 53,000 people died or disappeared in the battle, retreated to the original attack starting point, and no longer had the fighting capacity of a combat corps, and the whole Japanese army embarked on a failed outcome.

The Japanese military later concluded: "The war situation in Myanmar took the tragic battle of Impal as a turning point and went to the fate of total collapse."

After that, the main force of the Japanese army in Myanmar suffered a devastating blow, and the initiative of the war situation in Myanmar was completely transferred to the allied forces, which not only completely relieved the threat of Indian attack, but also had a positive impact on the war situation in the Asian continent, including China.

Then, why was the Japanese army beaten so badly?

Let's have a short rest.

First of all, when Japan attacked India, their opponents were not Indians, but British.

You know, India was a British colony.

Even the conflict triggered by India's non-violent and non-cooperative movement in August 1942 made the rulers of Britain and India lose the hearts and minds of Indians. When Japan marched into India, more than 42,000 Indian soldiers from the British and Indian armies came to help the Japanese fight against the British.

Why did the Japanese attack India?

Because Hitler asked for it by name.

1943 After the Battle of Kursk and Guadalcanal, the Axis countries have lost the initiative in the battlefield. In order to reverse the unfavorable situation, Hitler asked the Japanese army to launch an offensive in India, disrupt the deployment of the allies, and get a chance to reverse the war again.

In order to disperse the attack of American troops in the south, destroy Britain's most important overseas base, and realize the meeting between Japan and Germany, Japan wanted to occupy India, that is, on June 7, 1944, 1776, it issued the impala battle plan code-named "Ukraine".

The Japanese army was commanded by Lieutenant General むたぐちれんや, who was called "Xiao Dongtiao".

This man is a war maniac.

During the July 7th Incident, he served as the co-captain of the first regiment of the China Infantry Brigade of the Japanese invaders in Tun, and on July 7th, he ordered to open fire on the defenders in China, which was the direct culprit in provoking the July 7th Incident. In the early morning of the 8th, when China refused to be searched by the Japanese army in the ancient city of Wanping, he fired the first shot at the Lugou Bridge and personally ignited the war.

Because of this, Emperor Hirohito personally awarded him the Golden Eagle Third Class Medal and was promoted to Major General. Soon, he was promoted to lieutenant general, enlisted in the Confederate army, and took part in the Pacific operation.

Although むたぐちれんや is belligerent, his brain is not smart. When we look at the reasons for his rank of major general and lieutenant general, we know that the gold content here is to be discounted.

むたぐち れんや's belligerence is not only reflected in the action of the first shot of Lugouqiao, but also in his words.

Let's see what he said.

Before the Battle of Impala, he boasted, "It is my responsibility to talk about the East Asian War. I ordered the first shot to be fired at Lugou Bridge, so I must try to solve this war as soon as possible. "

At that time, Xiaoyan's chief of staff opposed the launch of this operation on the grounds of insufficient logistics supply.

むたぐちれんや sneered, "Can't we fight without supplies? What a joke! The Japanese army can endure any hardship. Grain can be taken from the enemy. "

It should be said that むたぐち れんや's lack of attention to logistics supply is also due to Japan's national conditions and the ferocity and courage of the Japanese army.

Japan belongs to an island country, and its domestic resources are far from enough to support such a large-scale operation across several countries. They mainly rely on fighting to support the war and "take it from the enemy."

Japanese soldiers are brave and good at fighting, and have always achieved this goal.

But this time is an exception.

Because the opponent they met was 14 British commander William? Joseph? Captain general slim.

Slim is experienced in combat, bold and cautious, and good at capturing the enemy's weaknesses.

In this battle, he seized the weakness of the Japanese supply line, firmly occupied the initiative of the war and consumed the Japanese army to pieces.

So, when the canteen was exhausted and hungry, the in-phase lens helped the colonel recall what Mudaguchi said before the battle-"We have discussed all the details about this battle in detail and solved them all. Therefore, success should be obvious. " I can't help feeling indignant. I sighed at Mudaguchi and said, "It seems that the details discussed by adults did not include the enemy's resistance."

In fact, the head of the 3 1 division, Sato, was frustrated when he looked at the soldiers who had only three days' rations before crossing the Qindun River. Angry and sad, he said to the soldiers, "Gentlemen, we are going to cross the Qindun River tonight." Before that, I have something to explain to you. Please listen carefully! As long as there is no miracle, your lives will be lost in the coming battle. However, most of you will not fall under bullets, but will starve to death in Mount Arakan. Please be prepared! "

Ironically, Mudaguchi, who was behind the town, received a telegram from the Japanese army at the front line asking for supplementary food. His reply turned out to be: "The Japanese have been herbivores since ancient times. You are surrounded by such a dense jungle, but you report food shortage? What's going on! "

When he heard that the commander of the Sato Division had escaped because the supplies could not keep up, he called all the staff in the headquarters to give lectures: "Ladies and gentlemen, the commander of the Sato Division violated military orders and abandoned the front line in Koshima without authorization. Because there was no food to fight, they retreated without authorization. Can such people still be called' imperial army'? Even without food, the "imperial army" must continue to fight. You can't fight without weapons, ammunition and food? This can never be a legitimate reason! ..... no bullets, not a bayonet? No bayonets, fists. If you don't have a fist, even if all these are gone, you can still kick it with your feet. Can't you bite it with your teeth? ..... Don't forget the Yamato spirit that Japanese men should have! Japan is China, and the gods will bless us ... "

Since the outbreak of the Pacific War, the Japanese army has easily beaten the American and British troops in Southeast Asia. Among them, Britain lost Hong Kong, lost Singapore and lost Myanmar. ...

Therefore, むたぐちれんや takes it for granted that the British army has lost India. Before the war, he declared: "The army is now invincible in the world, and the sun flag will announce that the day when we will win in India is not far away."

He even talked nonsense, leaving no way out for himself, saying, "If the battle of impala is not successful, I can't be promoted to general of the army, and I will never go back to Japan."

むたぐちれんや selling tooth flowers here, the Japanese in front will be miserable.

Brigadier general Louis of the British 33rd brigade? Pew recalled: "Our brigade was between the Japanese army retreating with a large number of wounded and sick people and their nearest destination-crull. The enemy has lost all hope. They can't get food, medicine or anything. They are weak and full of weeds. "

Finally, the Japanese army retreated hastily because of famine and disease, and was defeated by the British army, with bodies everywhere and fleeing in all directions.

British soldiers described the scene of witnessing the defeated soldiers like this: "Barefoot bodies are everywhere, and the soldiers are lying in the mud like skeletons; Blowing up transport vehicles and burning tanks while driving; Guns, ammunition and military equipment were thrown to the ground by exhausted soldiers. "

Mudaguchi made an excuse for his return to China, saying, "I don't think the battle of Impala was a failed battle. It was because of the attack on Impal that the enemy did not seize the whole of Myanmar. If Parr had not been attacked at that time, the Myanmar war zone would be terrible now. "

How did people * * * come to this?

It was not until his later years that Mudaguchi became mature that he realized his naivety and wrote an apology letter.

But in any case, the Japanese army regarded it as a god of plague and called it "Mudaguchi, a ghost animal."

Slim, as an ever-victorious general, was promoted to general in 1945, and succeeded Marshal Montgomery as the Chief of Staff of the Empire in 1948.

The Battle of Impal should be the greatest battle in British history.

However, under the infighting between Britain and the United States, Americans hope to break the British international colonial system, try to keep this significant victory low-key and make themselves unknown in the history of the world war.

However, in recent years, the British National Military Museum has conducted a public survey. According to the political, historical and cultural influence of the campaign, as well as the military strength and strategy and tactics invested by both sides, the most influential campaign in Britain was selected, and the "Impal-Koshima Campaign" won the most votes.
