Nomonhan (Khalkhin Gol), Mongolia

My Way — Mongolia

Scene

Korean conscripts in the Japanese army fight at the Battle of Khalkhin Gol in 1939 — the border conflict between the Soviet Union and Japan that ended in decisive Soviet victory.

History

The Battle of Khalkhin Gol (May-September 1939) was fought between the Soviet Union and Japan on the Mongolian-Manchurian border. General Georgy Zhukov's decisive Soviet victory, using combined-arms tactics, convinced Japan to expand south rather than north — a strategic decision that later spared the Soviet Union a two-front war.
