Since the September 18th Incident launched by the Japanese Kwantung Army in 1931, until Japan announced its unconditional surrender on August 15, 1945, Japan used 14 years to launch a war of aggression against China. In addition, Japanese imperialism is also based in Southeast Asia and other Asian regions. However, Japan's dispatch of aggressors to invade the Indian peninsula was unfavorable. Since then, the Japanese side has never considered the issue of invading the Indian peninsula.
Putting the Japanese war of aggression against China within the scope of World War II to discuss, it can be found that Japan, where militarism prevails, and Nazi Germany and Italy formed the allies. The most powerful Nazi Germany focused on ruling the entire European continent and at the same time eyeing West Asia, Central Asia, and North Africa. Japan has extended its aggressive tentacles to East Asia, Southeast Asia, South Asia, and the Western Pacific. Italy's performance is relatively poor, is responsible for the jungle, and often brings trouble to Germany!
In the middle and late 19th century, Japan realized the historical evolution from feudal society to industrialized society through the Meiji Restoration Movement, and entered the ranks of the world's second-tier powers. At the same time, Japan has also become one of the most powerful countries in the entire East Asia region and even the entire Asia-Pacific region. Especially after the Sino-Japanese War of Sino-Japanese War of Sino-Japanese War of Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, imperialism in Japan continued to rise, and the aggressive ambitions of Japanese militarism continued to expand.
Therefore, on September 18, 1931, the Japanese Kwantung Army created the September 18th Incident that shocked the world, officially kicking off the prelude to the Japanese war of aggression against my country and the anti-Japanese war between Chinese soldiers and civilians. On July 7, 1937, the Japanese invaders launched the Lugou Bridge Incident in the name of the exercise in the name of the Japanese aggressor, ignoring the strong opposition of the people of the world and my country's legal independence and sovereignty, and openly launched a full-scale war of aggression against China. Until August 15, 1945, when the Japanese aggressors were desperate, under the joint attack of the anti-fascist coalition around the world, they declared an unconditional surrender.
During this period, the Japanese aggressors once took advantage of the British as far away as Europe, tired of dealing with the attack of Nazi Germany, and had no time to take the opportunity of the British colony in South Asia to launch a war to invade the Indian Peninsula. At the same time, it can effectively attract the attention of Britain and reduce the pressure on Germany on the European battlefield.
In 1944, Japan sent a 100,000 Japanese army led by Mutaguchi, the first-class war criminal leader who had initiated the war of aggression against China, to attack the Imphal area in the northeast of the Indian peninsula. At this time, the British army had already built a huge in the Imphal area. Fortifications and military important towns, 150,000 British troops were stationed here to wait for work. Many of them were native Indian soldiers, but the military equipment and combat effectiveness were above the Japanese invading army. In the end, Japan suffered a disastrous defeat at the Battle of Imphal, and it almost became a nightmare for the Japanese army. Since then, he has never set foot on the land of the Indian peninsula.
The reason why the Japanese invading army quickly failed in a short period of time mainly included the following reasons:
, for one, the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army in the latter part of World War II was already much lower than before. Many Japanese troops who participated in the Battle of Imphal were recruits who had not undergone rigorous training, and most of the elite Japanese troops were held in East Asia and the Pacific by our anti-Japanese armed forces and the US military.
Second, the front line is too long and the logistics supply capacity cannot be ensured, which makes Japan's logistics supply difficult. The Imphal area of India is far away from the Japanese mainland and the colonies occupied by Japan. At that time, the food and materials brought by the Japanese invading army could not guarantee the daily expenditure of 100,000 people, and there were many lost and leftovers. The livestock carried by the Japanese invading army Fleeing amidst the sound of gunfire with food. The number of Japanese soldiers who were not attrited by war due to starvation is very large.
Third, the water and soil inconsistency caused by the tropical rain forest climate has caused serious injuries to Japanese soldiers. Imphal area is mostly tropical rain forest landforms, and during the war it is the arrival of summer, so many Japanese soldiers simply cannot adapt to the tropical rain forest and mountain combat environment.
Fourth, Britain waits for work and is familiar with the environment. The Japanese aggressor's individual combat capability is not as good as that of the British army, and the total force put into the war is not as good as that of the British. Moreover, the British troops stationed in the Imphal area are waiting for work. In addition, the British colonists have operated on the Indian peninsula for many years, and they have a relatively good mass base and a familiar combat environment there, and Britain has received the support of the United States and the world's anti-fascist countries.
