On the war between Japan, the United States and the Soviet Union during World War II

It shouldn't be close. Japan is a rising imperialism, rising late, and because it is an island country, its resources are poor, which is not enough to guarantee the basic aggression supply. It is by no means a long-term policy to support wars by fighting, because the so-called strategic rear areas are often attacked by local guerrillas and other armed forces, and the supply of resources is unstable. Although Japan's navy is known as the top three in the world, it is less than half of the strength of the US navy. Neither technical strength nor comprehensive strength can compare with the US Navy. It can only win local wars by surprise attack occasionally.

Let's talk about the army The main battlefield of the Japanese army is the Asian battlefield. Asian countries are economically backward, and there are basically no chariots and tanks. Therefore, in view of the battlefield situation and the actual situation of Japan's lack of domestic resources, the Japanese army only equipped a few tank divisions, most of which were used to guard the mainland. Japan's main battle tank and Soviet T34 tank are not of the same level in weight or combat capability. In order to save steel, the armor of Japanese tanks is designed to be very thin, which can only resist the attack of ordinary light and heavy machine guns, and can't resist Soviet tanks at all. At the Battle of Nomenkan, the Soviet Union concentrated thousands of heavy tanks, and the Japanese army did not have those tanks all over the country. Coupled with the cooperation of the Soviet infantry air force, it is not a war at all, but a massacre. Except for the infantry, most Japanese infantry are equipped with Type 38 artillery, while the Soviet army uses carbine as an automatic gun, and its firepower density is not at the same level as that of the Japanese army. Why don't Japanese make automatic guns? Because a submachine gun consumes enough bullets for one day in one hour, according to the battlefield situation, the Japanese army did not use automatic firearms.

In addition to the air force, Soviet pilots have experienced the baptism of World War II, and their combat literacy and combat effectiveness are world-class. The reason why Japanese planes are fast is that they have less materials and light weight, and they can't resist the attack of the Soviet Air Force at all. Moreover, at that time, most fighters supported the Pacific battlefield. In the late World War II, Japan was in short supply of crude oil, and many combat aircraft carried one-way fuel for suicide attacks. How can such an air force rival the Soviet Air Force?
