On September 18, 1931, that sad day, I left my hometown, left behind my endless wealth, and began to wander. Stray! The song "Songhua River" sings the pain of being invaded, tells the anger of 30 million people in Northeast China who lost their homes and suffered enslavement because of this, and expresses the hatred of hundreds of millions of Chinese people against the Japanese invaders.
At 10:20 p.m. on 18 September, the Japanese Kwantung Army blew up the South Manchurian Railway and bombarded Beidaying, launching a long-planned war of aggression against China.
In the face of aggression, we cannot choose to retreat. However, ** adopted a policy of non-resistance, claiming that this was in order not to provide a pretext to the Japanese invaders and to avoid the expansion of the war.
However, if you seek the skin of a tiger, you will only lose your life. By compromising with the aggressor, we will only lose more, including our precious territory, more serious acts of aggression and more frenzied plundering and encroachment.
Six hours later, the North Battalion of the Northeast Army fell. Eight hours later, the entire city of Shenyang fell into the hands of the enemy. In just over four months, all 1.28 million square kilometers of land in northeast China have fallen.
After that, the Japanese invaders used the Northeast as a springboard to trigger a full-scale war of aggression against China, which lasted for 14 years, and almost half of China was trampled by the iron hooves of the Japanese army.
With 930 cities falling, more than 35 million compatriots**, and more than 42 million people left homeless, that dark history seems to be still in front of us. And those days of blowing, but they forgot that period of history, and calmly preached the goodness of Japan, and even extinguished their conscience.
How can these people be called human beings? Back in May 1938, the Japanese army had occupied Xuzhou, which had been a military stronghold since ancient times, and the following Zhengzhou and Wuhan were also in danger of being captured.
In order to stop the advance of the Japanese army, Chiang Kai-shek decided to blow up the Yellow River and try to replace the troops with water. However, in the process of bombing the Yellow River, Chiang Kai-shek claimed to have seen three dragons, is this true or false?
Song Meiling revealed the truth in her diary, and it turned out that there was another hidden story behind all this. It turned out that Chiang Kai-shek fled and gave up resistance. Since the full-scale invasion of China by the Japanese army, Chiang Kai-shek's ** has been passive, and in the face of the well-equipped Japanese army, the gap in combat effectiveness is too great.
When both sides focused on Xuzhou, Chiang Kai-shek saw the increasing number of troops in Xuzhou on the northern and southern fronts of the Japanese army, and he first lost the confidence to resist.
Chiang Kai-shek was apprehensive about Kenji Dohihara's 20,000 Japanese troops and was forced to order the ** army to withdraw from Xuzhou. But on the way to evacuate, Chiang Kai-shek's troops encountered Kenji Dohihara's troops.
Chiang Kai-shek wanted to save face with Kenji Dohihara, so he decided to destroy this Japanese army. Although Kenji Dohihara's troops were well equipped, due to the sheer number of Chiang Kai-shek's troops, they had to change direction and head to Lanfeng.
However, they did not expect that Lanfeng's defenders would be Chiang Kai-shek's descendant troops, the 27th Army, and Chiang Kai-shek thought that Kenji Dohihara would definitely die. However, when Gui Yongqing saw the Japanese attacking, he immediately fled with the 27th Army, leaving Chiang Kai-shek's plan in vain.
Huang Jie gave up holding on to Shangqiu, and Gui Yongqing escaped, so that Kenji Tu Feihara was able to escape from the heavy encirclement and go straight to Kaifeng. Although Chiang Kai-shek had hundreds of thousands of troops, he failed to seize this opportunity to eliminate Kenji Dohihara, but instead let the Japanese army continue to reinforce, and Chiang Kai-shek looked forward and backward, lacking the determination to fight a decisive battle, which made the battle situation even more tricky.
Faced with the threat of the Japanese army's westward advance, Chiang Kai-shek faced a great crisis of domination. In order to prevent further Japanese invasion, he set his sights on the Yellow River. Eventually, Chiang Kai-shek decided to blow up the embankment at the mouth of the Yellow River Garden and use the flood to block the Japanese attack.
Historically, it is not uncommon to see cases of replacing soldiers with water, such as Guan Yu during the Three Kingdoms period, who once flooded the Seventh Army with water and became famous. However, Chiang Kai-shek was not Guan Yu, and he did not succeed in using the flood to stop the Japanese army.
During a torrential rainstorm in June 1938, when the upper reaches of the Yellow River were unusually flooded, Chiang Kai-shek ordered his soldiers to blow up two embankments near the mouth of the garden.
The project exhausted a lot of manpower and material resources, but it was unusually easy to blast, and with only enough explosives, the embankment was reduced to nothing, thus opening the barrier that bound the water of the Yellow River, forming a deep wound.
The water of the Yellow River is like a fierce beast, as if it wants to devour everything. It must be admitted that Chiang Kai-shek's bombing of the Yellow River did have a certain impact on the Japanese army, but it was almost insignificant compared to the impact on the people downstream.
According to statistics, this operation only resulted in the death of thousands of Japanese soldiers, while hundreds of thousands of people downstream lost their lives, more than 40 counties and cities were flooded, and countless people were homeless.
Chiang Kai-shek's behavior in the bombing of the Yellow River was undoubtedly extremely inappropriate. In order to protect his descendants, he did not hesitate to make ordinary people pay a huge amount, which is far from the responsibility and responsibility that a leader should have.
In addition, he never put the interests of the people first, which was also the inevitable result of his eventual defeat and escape to Taiwan. However, in this incident, Chiang Kai-shek also claimed to have seen three dragons, which is very confusing.
He stood on a high place, pointed to the sky and exclaimed that there were three dragons hovering in the sky, and the people standing low did not even have a chance to escape. However, when everyone also looked to the sky, they did not find any shadow of the dragon.
This mystery was not solved until Song Meiling revealed the truth in her diary.
After the Yellow River burst, he saw three huge objects flying, but insisted that they were real dragons. Although none of the people present saw it, this sentence actually revealed the fact that Chiang Kai-shek may have seen only clouds formed by water vapor, because the real dragon has always been a legend and will not disappear in an instant.
He claimed to have seen the real dragon, possibly to distract from the disaster caused by his bombing of the Yellow River. What he may not be aware of, however, is that he has become the embodiment of the calamity that has brought disaster to the hearts of the people, not the true dragon.
The Yellow River, the mother river of China, has nourished the land of China for thousands of years with its turbulent waters, and has also brought countless disasters. Successive generations of wise rulers have devoted themselves to stabilizing the Yellow River dikes, hoping that the wind and rain will be smooth, and have never destroyed the Yellow River dikes.
However, Chiang Kai-shek unleashed this giant beast in a distressing way, causing innocent people to suffer a huge disaster. Although his original intention was to stop the Japanese army, the price he paid was too great.
After this incident, Chiang Kai-shek fell ill, ** perhaps he witnessed the painful scenes of the people after the Yellow River burst, the kind of purgatory-like scene on earth, which always haunted his heart, and finally made him sick.
