Turning point · China in Revolution, 1911–1949
August Storm
9 Aug 1945 — The Soviet Union enters the war and overruns Manchukuo in eleven days. Japanese arsenals pass — by neglect or design — to Lin Biao’s arriving columns; Soviet troops strip the factories and go home in 1946. The civil war’s decisive arena is created in a week.
This is one scene of Chapter 10 — The Failed Peace and Manchuria in China in Revolution, 1911–1949.
