It's been requested for months and now it's here. The Soviet conquest of Hokkaido means storming the Rumoi beach, the northernmost Japanese main home island. This could have been the Japanese nightmare that almost happened during WW2, as most of its army was in the south instead, to defend against the US forces.
During Project Hula, the Soviets received many American ships to support their undertakings but at the last moment, they changed their mind and conquered Kuril Islands instead.
I designed this realistic map, to feature points of interest like the town of Rumoi, the port, and the beach. Hokkaidos valleys, hills, and mountains covered with dense forest make this a tough place for any opponent.
That said if you enjoy epic short film then don't forget to leave a LIKE! Gates of Hell Ostfront game.

    Makoto Shinkai's animated film "The place promised in our early days" depicts Japan in a world line where Hokkaido is occupied and annexed by the Soviet Union.
  • @Nekopolitik
    This is literally what happens in the anime “The Place Promised In Our Early Days”
  • 56 islands were occupied in 12 days. The landing in Hokkaido was canceled in reality.
  • @anhminhle853
    Soviet attacked without naval gun? No way. Incorrect.
  • Bro make an animation after the soviet and american invasion with a North Japan (Socialist) and a South Japan (Capitalist)

    But the reality is that in this battle, the Japanese army could not block the Soviet offensive. According to the actual situation: 1. The Japanese air and sea power were basically exhausted by the US military, and its few resistance forces could only suppress the Soviet army for a while. 2. The resources and logistics of the Japanese army in the areas occupied by the East Asian continent have been blocked, and the Japanese army's weapon maintenance status will be worse than in the early stages of the Pacific War (even with new weapons). 3. The Soviet Union had just ended the war against Germany a few months ago, and its morale was extremely high, and a large number of soldiers had experience fighting Germany. At the same time, except for long-range artillery, the Japanese army’s lethal firepower was not as powerful as the German army’s, and the morale of the Japanese army was at a low level. Continuous defeats have made him extremely depressed and crazy. 4. The Soviet Union had experience in the Battle of Nomonhan and its march south to Northeast China to deal with the Kwantung Army, so the Soviet Army had countermeasures against the Japanese Army's Banzai Charge. 5. The video ignores that the Soviet army has air defense capabilities. Because the German Air Force was so powerful in the early stages of World War II, the Soviet army could have countermeasures against the Japanese air power. 6. The elite forces of the Japanese army have been exhausted in the Pacific. Most of them were fighting on the mainland with only a few elite troops, armored forces, regular soldiers, militiamen, and ordinary people who were forced to go to the battlefield. 7. The video ignores the possibility that the Soviets had combat groups with anti-tank rifles, mortars, cannons, and flamethrowers. 8. The video ignores the possibility that the Soviet Navy would send older battleships, light cruisers, and destroyers as fire support. 9. The video ignores the possibility of subsequent participation of Soviet self-propelled artillery, tank destroyers, Katyusha rocket launchers, and Spitfire tanks. 10. This operation may provide the Soviet army with a battlefield for their new weapons and new tactics, such as IS-3 heavy tanks, T-54 main battle tanks, and the Air Force's new jet fighters. Experience in training Soviet soldiers in landing operations and mountain operations. 11. This battle can also be regarded as the Soviet Union’s revenge for its defeat in the Russo-Japanese War. The Japanese army could deal with the Soviet army in a way that could prolong the war but not reverse the situation: 1. The Soviet army had no experience in landing operations, so the Japanese army could suppress the Soviet army's first attack in a short period. 2. The Japanese army is good at guerrilla warfare and harassment attacks. 3. Japanese Navy submarines used to block Soviet sea supply lines. (can't hold in long period). 4. The Japanese army used biological and chemical weapons (that would lead to strong retaliation). 5. Try to use intelligence warfare (the difference in combat power is too large, the intelligence is there but useless). 6. Let the few Japanese Navy ships engage the Soviet Navy ships. 7. Dig underground resistance fortifications (long-term resistance is available, but it is easy to be completely destroyed when discovered). Result: Unlike the video, the Japanese army's combat effectiveness could not withstand the Soviet army's long-term attack. The Japanese army's combat effectiveness was much worse than the Soviet army's combat effectiveness. Hokkaido would be completely occupied and become an important strategic location for the Soviet Union in the Pacific. The remaining Japanese resistance parties would be annihilated and become a base for the Japanese Communist Party. Japan will meet the same end as Germany.

    It's actually insane we can directly control flying units now in RTS games. Awesome
  • @7ElevenTruther
    I really wish you would do a casualties and losses count at the end of your videos.
  • @btfmw389
    I’m Japanese. I'm so glad this didn't happen..
  • @stonker77
    It was the feared invasion by the Soviets that prompted the Japanese to finally surrender not the atomic bombs.
  • @MM-zg4wu
    Soviet generals: well, reconnaissance is down. Waves from 1 to 100 get on the ships!
