On August 15, 1945, the Asian fascist Japan announced its unconditional surrender, and the World Anti-Fascist War ended. In the Asian theater, China pinned down more than 60 Japanese troops and was the biggest contributor to the victory of the war against Japan. After Japan's surrender, the Allies negotiated the occupation of the Japanese mainland, and China, as the victorious power, was also invited by the United States, and the United States asked China to quickly organize an army stationed in Japan to prepare for the occupation of the Japanese mainland.
After receiving the order of the Central Powers, the Kuomintang led by Chiang Kai-shek immediately began discussions with the United States, and after repeated discussions, it was decided to let General Sun Liren, a famous anti-Japanese general of the Chinese Expeditionary Force, lead the New 1st Army to participate in the occupation of Japan.
The New 1st Army was equipped with American-style equipment, and it was the descendant of Chiang Kai-shek's lineage, and Chiang Kai-shek was very unhappy when he heard this, believing that the New 1st Army should be used where it was more needed, instead of going to Japan to "maintain law and order." Moreover, at that time, the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression had just ended, and Sun Liren's New 1st Army had been sent by Chiang Kai-shek to the northeast to receive the occupied areas.
At that time, the domestic situation was relatively stable, and under the urging of the United States and Chiang Kai-shek's second thought, it was decided to send the Honor 1st Division and the Honor 2nd Division, which were all composed of troops who had recovered from the War of Resistance against Japan, to form the 67th Division to participate in the occupation of Japan.
After the reorganization of the 67th Division, the division commander was served by Dai Jian, the commander of the honorary 2nd Division, and the whole division was 1There are 450,000 people, all equipped with American-style equipment, and all the soldiers in the unit are highly qualified and educated. After receiving the order, the 67th Division was stationed in the Shanghai area in February 1946, ready to occupy Japan at any time. On May 27, Dai Jian and others arrived in Japan first, and after the US military agreed, it was decided that the squadron would occupy Aichi Prefecture, Shizuoka Prefecture, and Mie Prefecture.
Just when everything was ready, in June 1946, Chiang Kai-shek launched a full-scale civil war, and there was an urgent need for elite troops to fight the PLA, so the 67th Division stationed in Shanghai became a sharp sword for Chiang Kai-shek. In July 1946, the Kuomintang canceled the plan of the 67th Division to occupy Japan, and in August, the Kuomintang sent ships to pick up Dai Jian and others.
Subsequently, in the civil war, the 67th Division was sent to Lunan and the Soviet-central region and began to attack the liberated areas. However, unfortunately, the 67th Division, a glorious army, was completely annihilated by the PLA in the Hai'an area during the battle with the PLA. Since then, the "Glorious Division" has been completely wiped out, and the bankruptcy of China's plan for an "occupation force in Japan" has also been announced. China, as the biggest contributor to the war against Japan, did not occupy Japan, and lost this glory, which has to be said to be a regret in the history of our country!
