[edit] Old talk

That didn't sound right to me. Please read the following documents, which are quite plain.

I am not going to do any research here. I am not a historian. I wrote this text for the sole reason it was missing and it was mentioned in the article Military history of the Soviet Union. If you have another version of the beginning of the events, please present it. I am aware that I described the Soviet version of the events. The view fom the opposite side is only welcome. But you cannot remove statements without a reason presented that they are wrong or dubious.

So, are you saying that there was no incursion of Japanese military into the territory controlled by Soviets?. At least it is 100% clear it was not vice versa, since at the moment of conflict Soviets had a mere handful of border troops in place, and the Soviet regular army arived only several days after the conflict began.

By the way, since as I see you are working on japanese topics, please take a look at the Japanese nationalism article, currently under an intensive development by an anonymous editor. Mikkalai 03:25, 24 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I am content with current version since I don't intend to justify Japanese action. Having a time, I will write the article in addition. Kanoen 08:10, 24 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Train

This seems a bit contradictory to me: "In 1933, the Japanese designed and built an armored train designated "Rinji Soko Ressha" (Special Armored Train). The train was deployed at "2nd Armored Train Unit" in Manchuria and participated in the First Sino-Japanese War and the Changkufeng conflict against the Soviets transporting thousands of Japanese troops to and from the battlefield, displaying to the West the ability of an Asian nation capable of adopting and implementing Western ideas and doctrine concerning rapid infantry deployment and transportation." That part about the train being built in 1933... how could it have served in the First Sino-Japanese War? It's possible im not reading it right but that would mean it's unclear.

If the fact described is generally correct then it should have been as simple as Second Sino-Japanese War. Fixed; provisionally. `'юзырь:mikka 23:05, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Please make sense

So the incident ended with the Soviet victory, the Japan invaders were repelled, yet somehow the article ends with the obligatory "Poor Soviet fighting..." etc. Whoever wrote this, please try to make some sense. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.184.99.122 (talk) 08:47, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
