Japan s wartime mobilization capacity in World War II was low

Because Japan did not invade China.

Basically all of Asia has traces of the Japanese invaders.

Because during World War II, Japan attacked Pearl Harbor in the United States.

So the United States began to blockade Japan's resources, especially oil.

It can be said that Japan's oil exports were interrupted.

As a result, Japan's natural resources are extremely scarce.

Plus the US blockade of Japanese oil**.

It became difficult to lead to Japanese aggression.

In fact, the United States had been bombing Japan from time to time with airplanes before the atomic bomb was dropped.

As a result, the Japanese mainland has become in dire straits.

Basically, adult males were captured and sent to war.

And because Japan's navy and army have always been hostile to each other.

So this is why the reason for Japan's defeat in the war was actually the catalyst.

Because those skilled technicians were arrested to fight, but the planes still had to be built and the equipment still had to be repaired, so Japan caught some self-employed people to build planes and repair equipment. Even at the end of World War II, Japanese-built aircraft had the terrifying title of "Pilot's Graveyard".

Although Japan has a large population.

But, at the time of the war.

Japan basically does not have a medical team, and it is also very backward.

If a pawn is wounded, it will not get **. You will only be seppuku, or killed.

Because of the backward level of medical care, there was no medical treatment, the wounded could not fight, and Japan lacked resources. So just kill the wounded.

This is also the reason for the sharp rise in the number of Japanese military members.

Moreover, in the defense of the Japanese mainland, even women took up bamboo guns to resist foreign invaders. Not to mention youth over the age of 16.

At the end of World War II、

Even the age of recruitment is lowered to years.

Hehe, I don't know when I talk about **.

But your question is mentioned in mine.

1. Japan used about 10 million troops, and the ratio of population to mobilization was 7:1. Of course, the cumulative mobilization of 10 million troops is summed up. In 1941, when World War II began, there were only 2 million in Japan.

When the Pacific War broke out on December 7, the Kwantung Army had 730,000 men, ranking first in both quantity and quality; The "Southern Army" has 400,000 people, second only to the Kwantung Army in terms of elite; 380,000 "domestic troops"; Although the "Chinese Dispatch Army" has 620,000 troops, ranking second in terms of quantity, its quality has greatly declined because most of the elite troops have been transferred to the Southern Army. A total of 2.13 million.

3. China, which accounts for 60% of its total strength, had less than 2 million Japanese troops on the battlefield, and that was when the war first began. Moreover, when calculating the data, it is obvious that the Kwantung Army and the garrison in Taiwan and the Japanese fleet in China are also included. The Kwantung Army + the Chinese Dispatch Army is 1.35 million.

Divide by 2.13 million, exactly 63%.

4. By 1945, the total number of Japanese troops at the time of surrender was 7.2 million, of which 1.05 million were "Chinese Dispatch Army", less than 15%; The Kwantung Army surrendered 680,000 to the Soviet army, accounting for 9%. The total number of Southern Army and "Domestic Army" that surrendered to the Allied forces led by the United States in the Pacific Theater was about 5.5 million, accounting for 76%.

Every year, more than 5 million domestic troops are those troops who have bamboo guns and want to fight the United States. Including many young students over the age of 16.

6. Reservists are all retired officers, and they are automatically promoted to reserves!

Japan was optimistic about the war in the early stage, thinking that it would destroy China within three months, so it did not invest troops in all directions, plus it also opened up the Pacific Theater and urgently needed troops, so it did not send many troops to China, and the total strength of 8 million to 12 million should not be right, even if it recruited so many soldiers, it would not be able to raise it, so it was not so right, but 60% and 2 million should be right. Most of the Japanese people have lost confidence in the war in the later stage of the war, and the domestic losses are heavy, and ordinary people do not want to lose their relatives again, so except for a small number of extremely fanatical militarists, many people still do not want to go to the battlefield, not to mention those teenage children, who are already full of fear of war, and going to war again is equivalent to sending them to death, and if they don't go, they will be charged with betrayal, so it is contradictory. The decisive factor of mobilization ability is a country's comprehensive national strength and the credibility of its own people, in short, it is to see whether there is enough macroeconomic regulation and control ability, like our socialist country, our macroeconomic regulation and control ability is the strongest, far better than capitalism, so the mobilization ability is also stronger.

After graduating from high school, as long as you are at least 18 years old and a male citizen, you can join the reserve as a militiaman, otherwise you must join the reserve as a veteran. Hope so, thank you!

After the Meiji Restoration, the country became particularly powerful. But it is a country with a territory of just over 370,000 square kilometers, and it lacks resources for future survival. They had no choice but to invade neighboring countries, and they regarded China as a key battlefield, but the size of China's population was too large for the Japanese invaders to accomplish at a great price, because every time the invaders took a step, people died, and they had to defend the places they occupied, and the deeper they went, the heavier they had to pay, and everywhere they went, there was resistance from either the Eighth Route Army, the Nationalist Army, the New Fourth Army, and the guerrilla armed groups.

Because Japan's ambitions were too great, there were also wars in the South Pacific, and the occurrence of Pearl Harbor exacerbated Japan's rapid defeat in World War II! So from beginning to end, a large number of soldiers died one after another, at different times and on different battlefields. And not surprisingly.

Even tens of millions of soldiers are just waiting to die! Since there were very few qualified soldiers left after the death of Japanese soldiers in the early stage of World War II, it was normal to continue to recruit soldiers, but there were no young and middle-aged people in Japan who met the requirements for joining the army, so people who were doing economic work were forced to join the army, and even the elderly and students were forced to join the army. --Data error:

1. China's population and land area are larger than Japan's. 2. China is fighting everywhere in the South Pacific Ocean and Southeast Asia, and the troops are scattered and the soldiers are taboo. 3 The decision of the politician and the command of the commander of the front - the determinant of the ability to mobilize:

The morale of the soldiers is high and low, the equipment is advanced and backward, and justice and injustice.

The total number of Chinese troops dispatched by the Japanese army was around 850,000 to 1 million, and the Kwantung Army was around 680,000, where did it come from 2 million.

Moreover, the number of troops put into the Chinese battlefield was only about 25% of the total strength of the Japanese army, and the remaining more than 5 million people of the Japanese army were engaged in the Nanyang Theater, the Pacific War, and the defense of the homeland.

Therefore, the mobilization of the Japanese army in World War II has reached its limit, with about 7 million people.

After the Meiji Restoration of the Japanese Empire, the people of the empire felt that their territory was too small and wanted to expand their territory, so they prepared to invade the world, and Asia was the first step in the plan, and China was only part of the Asian plan. And it is certain that its own territory must also be protected, so there is very little labor in China

Normal, fighting a war kills people. After so many years of fighting, most of the 8 million to 12 million have turned into ashes and put them in cans.

Caught in the quagmire of war. Japan also faced difficulties under the counterattack of the allies. In the depths of the Chinese battlefield, Japan threw a large number of troops here.

Japanese logistics were delayed and destroyed. This makes it impossible for Japan to effectively exploit China's resources. To solve the oil problem, he also aimed at Southeast Asia.

For Japan, opening up new battlefields required more troops to conquer, but Japan's mobilization capacity was limited and the distances were long. The development of Southeast Asia will only become more difficult. The outbreak of the Pacific War also dragged Japan into the abyss.

Japan was mired in war and could only lose in the end.

During World War II, Japan launched a war of aggression against China, hoping to change its situation through war. For Japan, he is flawed. Since Japan is an island nation, it is located at sea and has a limited land area.

The Japanese had a great desire for territory. They can only gain territory through war. Coupled with the lack of resources, Japan could only plunder through war.

If you want to change it, then you can only change it through war. After all, colonialism, fascism, militarism, and other ideas have always influenced the development of Japan.

As the front line extended, there was a serious shortage of labor and resources in Japan. For this reason, Japan has comprehensively put forward the policy of "feeding the war with war." On December 8, 1941, Japan secretly attacked Pearl Harbor and launched the Pacific War.

Its main purpose is to seize the interests of the United States, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands and other Pacific countries. After the outbreak of the Pacific War, Japan was faced with a situation of simultaneous operations in the Asia-Pacific theater, and more troops were needed to act as "cannon fodder". At that time, due to the conscription of adult men into the army, there were few men in urban and rural Japan who could serve as laborers.

Due to the limitations of Japan's national strength, it simply could not afford to fight a long-term war of attrition, and the Japanese army had already appeared in China alone because the front was too long, resulting in the logistics of the troops, and even China was not defeated, let alone the United States, which ranked first in the world's gross industrial production at that time, and the misjudgment of the situation and blind confidence in its own strength were the fundamental reasons for Japan's defeat in World War II.

This is because Japan's land area is not very large, and the number of military personnel is limited, during World War II, many European countries have completed the second industrial revolution, the military and military strength have been well improved, Japan has formed a strong onlooker state, so during World War II will still fail.

At that time, the United States dropped an atomic bomb on the Japanese mainland, and other fascist countries were defeated one after another, and the resistance of our country also made it impossible for him to go further.

Because this war of aggression he unleashed was unjust and devastating, it would not have succeeded in any case.

Let's start with Germany.

The German conscription system is a compulsory conscription system, in which retired soldiers are conscripted to supplement the establishment during wartime. This is similar to that in Japan and Germany.

When Germany launched the Barbarossa Plan, it mobilized almost all of Germany's troops, and the garrison of German mainland and occupied areas was very small.

Moreover, the Germans were very capable of mobilizing for the war, and after the war, the number of healthy adult men in Germany was very small, and in certain age groups, such as boys born between 1918 and 1923, almost all died. During the war in less than 6 years, Germany's mobilization capacity was strong and the proportion was high, both of which were the highest in the world at that time. In addition, the German army pursued a blitzkrieg strategy, investing the maximum number of troops and crushing the opponent in the shortest time, and it is natural to invest so many troops.

Moreover, judging from the post-war history, during the war, the total number of German participants in the war was about 17 million, which is already the limit (I don't know if the 5.5 million said by the landlord is accurate).

Then there is Japan, where the conscription system is the same, but the size of the troops is somewhat different from that of Germany.

Before the war, Japan had only 14 divisions, that is, later divisions such as the 2nd Division and the 6th Division. It was only in wartime that a number of ad hoc divisions were formed. Because of the lack of resources in Japan, it is difficult to support a large number of troops at the same time, so it has put forward the purpose of training more troops and raising fewer troops.

In other words, Japan has a small number of active military personnel (only a few million), but a large number of non-active military personnel (about 10 million), who work and live like ordinary people, and have training at regular intervals. Only in the event of a loss of soldiers in the active duty force will they be called up for re-entry into the army. In addition, the Japanese army adopted the method of fighting to feed the war, occupy an area, plunder supplies, and prepare for the next war, and the Japanese army never thought that if Germany would adopt a blitzkrieg like Germany, the troops invested in a campaign must not be as many as Germany.

Moreover, Japan invested more than 2 million troops in China, and of course only mobilized more than 400,000 people for the Battle of Wuhan. Japan has a large number of troops stationed in many parts of Asia, such as the Philippines, Burma, Korea, Ryukyu, Taiwan, Saipan, Kuah, etc. Moreover, there was a million-strong Kwantung Army that was outside the Japanese Army Command and was known as the flower of the Imperial Army, plus the Japanese navy and domestic garrisons at that time, it was certainly unlikely that Germany would mobilize millions of people to launch a campaign.

In terms of post-war history, the total number of people mobilized in Japan exceeded 10 million.

Therefore, the mobilization capacity of the two countries is about the same, and Germany is stronger. The reason why there is such a big difference in the number of mobilized troops between the two sides in a battle is due to the different tactics pursued by the two armies, the different numbers of active troops, and the objective situation at that time.

In addition, another reason may be that most of the territory of the Soviet Union is plain, which is convenient for large corps, and the front of the two sides during the Battle of Wuhan is staggered, and there are many hills and mountains, which greatly limits the number of troops that can be invested.

Having said so much, the landlord remembers to give points.
