The Japanese military, while taking the lesson seriously, was willing to engage with the Soviets once more, with disastrous results, in the more extensive Battle of Khalkhin Gol (Nomonhan) in the Soviet-Japanese Border War of 1939. The result of this engagement was the total defeat of the Japanese Sixth Army by the Soviets. |
I think the japanese used some Type-89 in the Battle of Khalkin Gol.
Though I don't remember how those fared against russian tanks of that time.
