The following is the continuation of the previous chapter.
And to the Chiang Kai-shek, the Soviet Union, the United Kingdom and the United States gave generous aid.
Especially the United States sends air force troops.
At that time the Japanese had fallen down in Nanjing, I was really looking forward to it that the war was over and that everyone was going to triumphant, but in such circumstances it did not happen in such circumstances.
There is a song "Japanese Army" to send soldiers to go out, but this is up to ten, but we could only sing until the eighth 'sanitary soldier' at school.
It is because ninth is "triumphant" and tenth is "peace".
The teacher will not let us sing "We cannot sing nine and ten songs yet".
So I thought I wanted to sing nine and ten earlier, but there was a force that I could not sing.
I was relieved by the Pearl Harbor attack
It was about 4 years in elementary school, but even in Nomonhan, the Japanese Army was very strong.
When we go swimming in the river during summer vacation, we were only talking about that story.
Some people dropped 50, 60, alone enemy planes by themselves.
In the calculation after the Soviet numbers also came out, Japan dropped the plane of the Soviet Union, which is about 1,800 aircraft. Meanwhile, Japan has only one hundred and few dozen aircraft dropped.
Tanks in Japan have destroyed the Soviet Union with 800 units. Only thirty Japanese things are destroyed.
The casualties are nearly 1.5 times the number of the Soviet Union in Japan.
At the time I did not understand such a thing, but we were pleased to say "We won." However, after the war, Japan was told that such a story was lost to absurdity.
Recently when I saw that the Soviet Union materials came out, the information we received at the time of our child was correct.
A picture of the Nomonhan case, which will be a painter of a famous painter in the paintings at the time, comes out, but a picture of the Soviet tanks burning in a wide field.
That was true.
I did not know the name of Mitsubishi A6M Zero yet, but from the sky of Sina I knew that both American planes and Soviet airplanes were wiped out.
After that, war begins in both the United States, but that sense is also understood by children.
I thought that it was gradually being Japan is strangled.
At that time, ABCD (America, Britain, China, Dutch) enclosed network was against Japan, but foreign countries no longer sell things to Japan.
It is petroleum that we are having trouble getting the most out of it.
When I was in the fifth grade of elementary school, Japan's Ambassador full of power went to Indonesia to negotiate oil, but this did not work.
That was around the summer vacation or not entering, but I felt the front of my eyes becoming dark in children’s heart also.
Even with an airplane, children understand that it is useless without oil.
I thought what would be done with Combined Fleet.
Although it was a fifth grade at elementary school, elementary school students at that time were much more sensitive to war than some college students of current international relations majors.
