In the 30 s of the 20 th century, in order to dominate the world and realize the so-called "mainland policy," Japanese militarism launched a war of aggression against China, which was poor and weak at that time, and the flames of war burned over most of China. In the face of the barbaric invasion of the Japanese invaders, the Chinese nation was not intimidated, but the whole nation united as one, launched a heroic and heroic War of Resistance against Japan, and finally defeated the Japanese invaders after paying great sacrifices. Let's review the beginning and end of this tragic war, it is not easy to create, and I bother you to pay attention to the comments.
First, the beginning of deliberate thinking.
On the night of September 18, 1931, some middle- and lower-level officers of the Japanese Kwantung Army bypassed the cabinet and the military headquarters in the form of "going down and going up" and privately prepared to launch an attack on the garrison in Northeast China. They first deliberately blew up the tracks of the South Manchurian Railway, claiming that the Northeast Army had done it. Then the Japanese army used this as an excuse to bombard the Northeast Battalion and create the "918 Incident". Due to the policy of non-resistance carried out by Zhang Xueliang, commander-in-chief of the Northeast Army, the 200,000 Northeast Army remaining outside the pass was easily defeated by 20,000 Japanese troops, and in less than half a year, the entire three eastern provinces fell into the hands of the enemy. The Japanese army captured more than 100,000 long and short guns, more than 2,800 light and heavy machine guns, more than 3,000 artillery pieces, 265 aircraft, more than 20 tanks, and countless ammunition of various types in Shenyang City alone. These massive first-class equipment not only provided logistical support for the Japanese army, but also helped them later form hundreds of thousands of traitor troops in the northeast to suppress the anti-Japanese forces, which had an extremely bad impact on the anti-Japanese war activities of the people in the northeast. Later, Japan prepared to establish the puppet Manchukuo in the northeast region, and used the outside of the customs as a base to extend its tentacles to the inside of the gates, which led to a series of battles such as the Shanghai War of Resistance and the Great Wall War of Resistance. On July 7, 1937, the Japanese army stationed in Fengtai bombarded Wanping City under the pretext of the disappearance of soldiers, and the Lugou Bridge Incident broke out, and the Chinese nation officially began the bloody war of resistance of the whole people.
Second, the end of the road.
By 1945, China's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression had entered its 14th year, and the situation of the international anti-fascist war had long since reversed. In January, U.S. troops landed on Luzon and began to sweep across the Southeast Asian peninsula like the Japanese had done four years earlier. Beginning in March of the same year, the U.S. military occupied Iwo Jima and Okinawa islands, approaching the Japanese mainland. In May, Germany announced its unconditional surrender, and Japan was the only one left in the fascist camp to resist stubbornly. In order to surrender conditionally with dignity, Japanese militarism decided to make a desperate gamble and carried out an unprecedented war mobilization at home, shouting crazy slogans such as "decisive battle at home" and "100 million jade pieces", and tied the people to the chariot that was about to sink. On July 26, the heads of state of China, the United States and Britain issued the "Potsdam Proclamation", urging Japan to surrender unconditionally, which Japan refused. On 5 August, more than 200 US warplanes wantonly bombed Tokyo, Kyushu, and other places, leaving the Japanese capital and other cities in shambles. On August 6, the U.S. military dropped the first atomic bomb "Little Boy" on Hiroshima, Japan, and Hiroshima was razed to the ground. Three days later, the U.S. military dropped a second atomic bomb, Fatty, on Nagasaki, and Nagasaki disappeared from the map of Japan. On August 8, the Soviet Union also suddenly declared war on Japan, and the Soviet Red Army dispatched 1.5 million troops to launch a fierce attack on the Japanese Kwantung Army entrenched in northeast China, and the 700,000 Kwantung Army collapsed in just one week. On August 9, Comrade ** published the famous "The Last Battle Against the Japanese Invaders", in which our party's army launched a general attack on the Japanese army from behind enemy lines, connecting the originally scattered anti-Japanese base areas. At noon on August 15, the desperate Emperor Hirohito of Japan issued the "Edict of the End of the War" through radio, announcing his unconditional surrender. So far, China has won the final victory of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression.
From the "September 18 Incident" in 1931 to the victory of the Anti-Japanese War on August 15, 1945, China's War of Resistance lasted for 14 years. In order to resist foreign aggression, the sons and daughters of the Chinese nation went forward one after another, fought bloody battles, and sacrificed a total of 35 million compatriots to defeat the Japanese invaders, and the Chinese nation was finally reborn from the ashes. If you want to know more about the Anti-Japanese War, I recommend Wang Shuzeng's "Anti-Japanese War", which reproduces the historical fragments of the Anti-Japanese War in a panoramic way, which is definitely worth reading.
