I learned two things from that. First, "hinterland" is an English word somehow. Second, you might be right. I'm still not sure, as the Japanese seemed to have learned throughout the ensuing months and I can't quite imagine the Russian forces staying that superior, especially after moving that mighty general and all that forces to the west. But, you're probably right.
I guess we won't celebrate the US independence day then. We should share Russian holidays though.
