Sovjetsko-japonska vojna
Sovjetsko–japonska vojna,[11] v Mongoliji znana kot osvobodilna vojna leta 1945,[12] je bil vojaški spopad med drugo svetovno vojno, ki se je začel kmalu po sovjetski vojni napovedi Japonski 7. avgusta 1945, ki ji je sledila sovjetska invazija na japonsko marionetno državo Mandžuko. Sovjeti in Mongoli so končali japonski nadzor Mandžuka, Mengdžianga (notranja Mongolija), severne Koreje, Karafuta (južni Sahalin) in otokov Čišima (Kurilski otoki). Poraz japonske vojske Kvantung je pomagal približati japonsko kapitulacijo in konec druge svetovne vojne.[13][14] Sovjetski vstop v vojno je bil pomemben dejavnik pri odločitvi japonske vlade za brezpogojno predajo, saj je bilo jasno, da ZSSR ne namerava biti tretja stran v pogajanjih za prekinitev sovražnosti pod določenimi pogoji.[5][15][16][17][18][19]

Sovjetsko daljnevzhodno poveljstvo[20] pod poveljstvom Vasiljevskega je imelo načrt za osvojitev Mandžurije, ki je bil preprost, a ogromen v obsegu,[5] saj je načrtoval masiven kleščasti manever čez celo Mandžurijo. Kleščasti manever naj bi izvedla Transbajkalska fronta z zahoda, 1. daljnevzhodna fronta z vzhoda in 2. daljnevzhodna fronta naravnost s severa.[20] To je bil edini sovjetski primer poveljstva teatra med vojno, Daljnevzhodno poveljstvo, ki so ga sestavljale tri rdečerarmejske fronte.
Vsaka fronta je imela frontne enote neposredno pod svojim nadzorom brez ravni armad vmes.[5] Sile so obsegale 89 divizij z 1,5 milijona vojakov, 3704 tanke, 1852 kosov samovozne artilerije, 85.819 vozil in 3721 letal.[5]
Transbajkalski fronti je poveljeval maršal Rodion Jakovljevič Malinovski in naj bi napadla čez puščave Notranje Mongolije in gore Velikega Higana.[20] 1. daljnevzhodni fronti je poveljeval maršal Kirill Afanasjevič Mereckov in naj bi predstavljala vzhodni krak klešč – njen prvi cilj je bil zasesti mesto Mudandžiang,[5] nato naj bi zavzela Džilin in Harbin[5] in se na koncu srečala z enotami Transbajkalske fronte. 2. daljnevzhodni fronti je poveljeval general Maksim Aleksejevič Purkajev in je bila v podporni vlogi.[5] Njena cilja sta bili mesti Harbin in Cicihar.[20]

- ↑ According to statistics compiled in 1964 by the Japanese Ministry of Health and Welfare's Relief Bureau, by 22 August 1945 there were 665,500 military personnel remaining in Manchuria, 335,900 in Korea, and 91,000 in Sakhalin, the Kuril Islands, and the Aleutian Islands. These numbers do not appear to factor in casualties incurred during the Soviet-Japanese War, because the total for Army personnel in Manchuria, 664,000, almost exactly corresponds to the total given in JM-155 for the Kwantung Army minus the 34th Army in Korea, 663,625.

Applying this proportion (c. 36.25%) to the total of 21,389 KIAs suffered by the Kwantung Army in Manchuria and 700 to 2,000 deaths on Sakhalin, plus 190 dead and 400 wounded on Shumshu Island gives an approximate total of 40,000 WIAs for the entire campaign.
