In general, visiting the FIELD MUSEUM after the Victory Museum will undoubtedly enhance your knowledge and make your experience more interesting.
Riding around Meneng, resting on the shore of Buir Lake, and visiting the historical monuments of Khalkh river, you will come across a plain wall-shaped WALL monument. It is a very special statue. At the beginning of the war, the foreign invaders penetrated about 20 kilometers into Mongolia, but they could not enter the place where the WALL statue is located.
The Mongolian soldiers and Soviet Russia, who swore an oath to their country, deserve the credit for erecting the WALL monument as a perpetuation of this symbol. Sadly, the war claimed the lives of 980 brave soldiers from Mongolia and 26,840 brave soldiers from Soviet Russia, all fighting for the independence of the Mongolian People’s Republic beyond the monument.
On May 8, 1939, the Khalkh river War commenced and concluded on September 16. The conflict involved a total of 75,000 soldiers, 700 aircraft, 181 tanks, and 500 artillery pieces.
