One distinguishing feature of the strategic concentration and deployment of the Japanese ground army on the mainland was that originally, assault forces were landed only in Korea since the approaches to the Kwantung Peninsula were blocked by the Russian fleet. Japan's aging demographics also conspire against resurgent militarism--Japanese rightists will not build a new Kwantung Army out of the aging "salarymen" who constitute the country's bulging demographic middle. Units of the Kwantung Army (in Japanese, the Kanto-gun) withdrew to a narrow defensive perimeter along the tracks of the South Manchurian Railway, while the Japanese farmers and their families in the vast Manchurian plains were left to fend for themselves in the face of rapid Soviet advances. |
