Japan s invasion of China took 14 years, so why did it withdraw after only one battle in India?

Japan's various evil deeds in World War II must be very clear to everyone. Japan is a small country, but its ambitions are huge. In World War II, the Japanese had an opportunity to annex the whole of Asia, so he sent a large number of military forces to various Southeast Asian countries for this plan, and carried out very brutal aggression against each country.

In fact, Japan was very powerful at that time, and it also attacked the US military, and if it weren't for the two atomic bombs of the United States, Japan didn't know when it would have surrendered. While attacking China, Japan set its sights on India.

In fact, this goal is nothing new for Japan. In fact, during the Ming Dynasty, Japan once put forward a battle plan, that is, to take Korea first, then capture China, and finally attack India from China. Later, in World War II, Japan finally started this project.

But the implementation of this plan did not go very smoothly, and the reason is very simple, that is, most of the countries in Southeast Asia were occupied by the British at that time. So if you want to grab these territories, you actually have to wrestle with the British.

However, Japan chose to proceed with the original plan. In 1942, a war broke out between Japan and the Sino-British coalition, which ended in a Japanese victory. Japan, as the victorious power, occupied Burma, but in fact, at that time, the British colonies in Southeast Asia were only Burma and India, and after losing Burma, there was only India as a piece of land.

So in order to keep the last piece of land, all British military forces in Southeast Asia were transferred to India. At this time, Japan chose to continue waging war for India. But this war was unexpectedly lost by Japan.

So what exactly is the reason?

In fact, let's analyze it carefully to understand why Japan was defeated. First of all, Japan was blindly arrogant, and when it was preparing to attack India, it immediately marched into India without formulating a detailed attack plan, which led to the failure of Japan's military plan. At the same time, the Japanese did not have enough time to grasp the time, so the logistics were not in place.

The second reason for the failure was that the Japanese commanders were not adequate. If you have a certain understanding of Britain, you may know General Mountbatten, who is a very powerful general, and it is easy to understand that Japan fell under his hands. Another very important reason is that the Japanese army is not familiar with the terrain and is not familiar with the terrain, coupled with the lack of adaptation to the water and soil, which has led to a decrease in combat effectiveness.

It was precisely because of the defeat in this battle that Japan never attacked India again.

At that time, the Japanese army was already at the end of its power, and its logistical supply and war strength were no longer comparable. Due to the serious lack of logistical supplies in Japan, most of the Japanese troops later died of starvation and disease because of the lack of logistical supplies.

This was because Japan was in a full-scale war strategy at that time, and at that time there was a shortage of troops in this country, and most of the soldiers were held back on other battlefields, so they had to retreat.

Because Japan's main policy was aggression, when it arrived in India, it found that there were not many resources that could be invaded, so it withdrew from the battlefield.

<> "Why Japan Didn't Hit India in World War II."

During World War II, Japan swept through Southeast Asia, but made a mistake in attacking India. Because Japan chose to run after playing against India.

As we all know, World War II was the most serious war catastrophe in human history, and in this tragedy, Japan caused serious damage to many countries in the world. Especially in the East and Southeast Asian theaters, in order to obtain more resources, almost the entire Southeast Asian region was occupied.

Caused strange trouble to the Allied Skate, and gave a heavy blow. But why did Japan choose to abandon the strategically important city of India after fighting Japan once?

In fact, India was able to "defeat" Japan at that time, mainly because of the colonial country Britain. The heyday of Britain was known as the Sunset Empire. When the British came to India, they fought many wars with the Indian natives and won a crushing victory. Later, India became a British colony.

The main reason why Japan rarely pestered India during World War II was because he did not want Britain to be targeted. After all, Britain had the largest naval force in the world at that time, and Japan was very frightened and did not want to make the war more difficult by triggering too much hatred at once.

The commander of the Japanese army, Mutaguchi Lian, said that this man was reckless in combat and did not think well of tactics. What he does best is talking big and inspiring the team to charge forward fearlessly for a long time. It can be said that what is completely unconfined to the method of warfare is to send one's own soldiers to death.

It would be less reckless to protect the British army.

The terrain can be used well for defense. Of course, such a large Japan will fail.

Although the distance between Japan and India was not far at that time, the combat environment in the tropical jungle was really difficult to develop, and the Japanese troops were somewhat unable to keep up when they hit here, so if they wanted to wait for the increase of troops, they still had to wait for the event. Japan didn't take too long to fight for India, so after one battle, it found that it was not as easy to fight as before, so it immediately gave up its attack on India and looked for a better target to develop the war situation.

There are many reasons for the productivity and the number of troops, the ability to resupply, and the overall war situation

First of all, Japan had a backup plan, and the goal of the first plan was to deal with the United States and join forces with Germany in India. However, after the Battle of Impalkohima, the Japanese base camp decisively abandoned the Indian plan and continued to move south, without all-out efforts).

Most of Japan's army was pinned down in China, while Japan was stationed in Southeast Asia. About 100,000 people were attacked, as a result of which more than 53,000 were killed or missing in the fighting.

At that time, India had a large number of American air forces, British troops stationed in India, Indian troops, and Chinese troops stationed in India (very elite troops).

There is also a huge gap between the logistical support capabilities and plans of the two sides.

Japan completed only 18% of its logistical replenishment. When the troops attacked, they only carried 1-2 weeks' rations, a base of ammunition, and led more than 20,000 horses, cattle, elephants, and thousands of goats. They plan to use the livestock to transport supplies and double as food, which is estimated to last for a month, and as for the logistics after that, they will only have to "take Imphal and eat Churchill".

Britain and Japan declared war, and India, as a colony, naturally entered a state of war with Japan.

Of the 100,000 British troops captured by the Japanese in Singapore in 1942, 70,000 were Indians.

Burma, which was captured by the Japanese in 1942, was not a separate colony, but a province of British India.

In 1945, the Japanese army invaded India and surrounded Imphal.

However, the radicals in India against British colonial rule at that time chose to cooperate with the Japanese in a group led by Dr. Chandra Bowes, who recruited and formed a 50,000-strong "Indian Volunteers" from the Indian army captured by the Japanese army, and participated in the Japanese offensive against Imphal. In 1943, Bowes was also invited to participate in the Greater East Asia Conference held in Tokyo, and took a group photo with Hideki Tojo, Wang Jingwei, Zhang Jinghui, and other leaders of the regime supported by Japan.
