After the end of the War of Resistance Against Japan, the most regrettable thing for the Chinese may be the premature death of the "Chinese occupation forces in Japan."

There are even many people who think that this regret should be counted on Su Yu's head, because this army was wiped out by Su Yu, and as a result, it failed to complete its mission.

In fact, this statement is a typical "bandit logic"!

Let's first take a look at the ** of this "Chinese occupation army in Japan".

After Japan's surrender, China, as the victorious power, wanted to send troops to Japan, who should be sent?

The Americans hoped that the New 1st Army led by Sun Liren was a graduate of the American ** Academy and was familiar with many American generals, and moreover, the New 1st Army also had a very good record against the Japanese army and had a deterrent effect on the Japanese.

However, Chiang Kai-shek did not agree, because he was preparing to fight a civil war, and the New 1st Army was an ace army with super combat effectiveness.

In the end, Chiang Kai-shek picked Dai Jian's honorary 2nd Division.

What is the "Honor 2nd Division"? As the name suggests, it is a division composed of "honorary soldiers", and those soldiers who have been wounded on the battlefield will generally not return to their original units after they have recovered from their injuries, so they will form a separate division called "honorary division".

Although the "Honorary Division" sounds very glorious, after all, these soldiers have been wounded, and their combat effectiveness will inevitably be somewhat weakened, so Chiang Kai-shek simply sent the "Honorary 2nd Division" to Japan to kill two birds with one stone.

In addition to the "Honorary 2nd Division", the 1st Independent Infantry Regiment of the Chinese Army in India was also added, and it was combined into the 67th Division of the Chinese Occupation Army in Japan, with 3 regiments under its jurisdiction and a total of 14,500 people.

The commander of this division is called Dai Jian, who is a graduate of the seventh phase of the Whampoa Military Academy, both civil and military, and the deputy division commander is called Liu Shenghe, who is also a graduate of the seventh phase of the Whampoa Military Academy.

After the formation of the 67th Division, strict training and training were carried out, including military appearance and military discipline, international etiquette, and even how to eat Western food and dance ballroom dances, in short, they represented the image of the Chinese, and they were not allowed to be careless.

In May 1946, Dai Jian, commander of the 67th Division, and Zhu Shiming, head of the Chinese delegation, went to Japan in advance to arrange for the troops to be stationed in Japan.

On the plane to Japan, Dai Jian was so excited that he wrote a poem:

The War of Resistance was successful and the lost ground was gained

Taiwan compatriot Chongqing Gongyaotian.

Jin Ou returned me without injury

The strong man sang awe-inspiringly.

After coordination with the US military, the place where the Chinese occupation forces stationed in Japan were stationed was in Aichi Prefecture, Japan, where Dai Jian and other advance personnel received many barracks, warehouses, and other facilities in preparation for the arrival of the Chinese occupation forces in Japan.

But what he didn't expect was that he would never be able to wait.

In June 1946, Chiang Kai-shek tore up the armistice agreement and brazenly launched a civil war, and the 67th Division, which was stationed in Shanghai at that time and was preparing to leave, was also transferred by Chiang Kai-shek to the Soviet-Chinese battlefield.

In fact, Chiang Kai-shek had not given up the idea of going to the Japanese garrison at this time, because in his opinion, the communist troops were vulnerable, and it only took three months to half a year to defeat the first and end the civil war, and it would not be too late to send troops to Japan at that time.

However, reality slapped him in the face, and three years later, he had to flee to Taiwan in disgrace.

In addition, the 67th Division, which was organized under Tang Enbo's account, was ordered to fight against the Central China Field Army, and the commander of the Central China Field Army was the famous Su Yu.

As a result, in the seven victories of the Soviet-Chinese battle, Su Yu inflicted heavy losses on the Kuomintang army one after another, including the 67th Division, which was almost completely annihilated by Su Yu.

However, there is also a theory that the 67th Division was not annihilated this time, and it was not until the Huaihai Battle two years later that it was eliminated by Su Yu.

No matter what you say, it was all wiped out by Su Yu anyway.

Therefore, some people who did not know the truth or had bad intentions poured fire on Su Yu's head, saying that China did not garrison troops in Japan because Su Yu wiped out that army, leaving irreparable regrets.

It has to be said that this is the typical "bandit logic"!

For example, if a robber breaks into your house and wants to kill you, and you fight back in self-defense and kill the robber, someone accuses you that the robber has an important mission, and because you killed him and he failed to complete the mission, you are a sinner!

To treat such a person, you can only send him one sentence: how far and how far to roll!

Finally, let's talk about Dai Jian, after the death of the Chinese occupation army in Japan, Dai Jian also returned to China and served as the director of the Recruit Division of the Ministry of National Defense, and later served as the commander of the 209th Division of the Youth Army, and in 1949, he served as the head of the delegation to the United States, and has since settled in the United States.

In 1987, on the 50th anniversary of the July Seven Incident, Dai Jian was invited to return to the mainland of the motherland"A nation, in particular, must not forget its past. The road is blue, and the sorrow is everywhere, and it must be said from the beginning often. Remember, in particular, 'Build our flesh and blood into our new Great Wall'! ”
