The Japanese hero of Nomonhan?

[Helen]

Hi Folks,

For anyone interested in gaming this conflict and may not have been aware of this fine chap I discovered this topic after Bruce Meyer mentioned to me about his favourite periods in gaming.

I'd to look up under the Axis forum search engine the name "Nomonhan."

I'd like to see how this scenario would play out in a gaming sense once you read the story.

My thanks as always for the keen folks who share an interest in researching history and the Art of War and lets hope we learn from our past mistakes.

My thanks must always be extended to the members of the Axis forum.

First Lieutenant Sadakaji, swinging his sword over his head, led several members of his machine
gun company in a desperation counterattack on the tanks. According to the battalion War Diary,

"Their ability to damage the enemy tanks was nil, but the attack probably panicked the tank
crews who abruptly retreated. The tanks were probably part of a probe for artillery survey and
registration as well as an armed reconnaissance of our positions."
