As long as he does not put heavy metal boring rock in the back ground.

+Captain 'Murica Besides which, he says nothing about what the forces were. Artillery? Machine guns? Rifles? Armored cars? They didn't dig in? Both sides had state of the art technology, so what were they doing? Infantry charges with bayonets? Fortunately, there are lots of other, better sources.

I see these videos as a pretty good supplement to history books. I've read of the Mukden battle before, and there were far more details in my reading, but videos like these can help you get a big picture of where units moved and the overall flow of the battle, which is difficult from confusing maps in history books.

Armored cars in 1905? haha.

2 weeks and couple of days

Aidan Murphy hahaha

Maybe its a Google auto robotic sound.

That's sounded like the mega fiesta of killings festival to each others on that time!

+Elias Ahad The Japanese were neutral towards the Soviets because they had had their asses handed to them on the Manchurian-Mongolian border in August of 1939. In a border dispute with the Mongolians (which eventually involved their allies, the Soviet Union), the Kwangtung Army had assumed that the Red Army would react similarly to the Imperial Russian forces in 1905. What happened instead was a massive double envelopment by Soviet armored forces which crushed the Japanese. Because of the poor planning and hubris of the Kwangtung Army, the Japanese Imperial staff shifted their focus from the Army's push into Asia towards the Navy's conquest of the Pacific. The Soviets were deemed to be to powerful, and by the time of Barbarossa, the Japanese were too heavily invested against the British, French, Australian and Dutch interests to render any aid to the Germans. Plus they had that whole Pearl Harbor thing in the works, so they had their hands full. German-Japanese communication was limited already to diplomatic missions and some trade, but when the United States entered the war, there was no coordination and very little communication except via submarines. They were allied in name only.

+Elias Ahad they were kept busy by the chinese, and bombing pearl harbor was a mistake,

trying to fight everybody at once. bad idea

​@@gardener68 Yep, the Japanese had huge internal problem with the Navy and the Army competing for resources. The IJA prioritised a push into Russia assets in the East while the Navy wanted a thrust to the south. Since the army failed to make considerable gain while suffering losses that it itself had started and escalated without the central government approval led the Navy to become the main focus of the Japanese government ambition. Disparity between the Navy and the Army can be seen in combat doctrine. The Japanese marines prefer to defend on the beachhead, exposing themselves to bombardment and airstrike while the army commanders like Tadamichi of Iwo Jima's defence fame was adamant that suicide charge and beachhead defence should not be carried out.

Russia is a guaranteed success in any war. It entirely depends on logistics. Russia probably could have occupied the entirety of Asia had it not been so set apart from it in terms of distance and infrastructure.

Including Afghanistan as well I suppose.

usapatriot4163 Ahaha. I'm not talking guerilla warfare. That was local militias fighting in their own land against an overstretched force. It was Russia's Vietnam.

Perhaps. In the context of not losing a war on your home territory. However, Afghanistan is our second Vietnam now it would seem. We're still ahead of Russia buy one unpopular, unconventional war. Lol.

Technically the USA hasn't won a single war.
