More than 60 years later, Chiang Kai-shek mobilized 700,000 national troops to launch the Battle of Songhu. During the battle, the Chinese Air Force blew up the headquarters of the Japanese Marine Corps and sank the flagship of the Japanese Navy's 3rd Fleet. The Chinese Army issued mobilization orders five times to make up for the damage, and more than half of the senior generals at regimental level and above died for their country. The Battle of Songhu failed to prevent the Japanese army from occupying Shanghai, but it changed the Japanese army's strategic deployment on the Chinese battlefield and bought three months for Shanghai's capital to move westward.
More than 60 years have passed, and a few Chinese people know that it is not Ye Ting's New Fourth Army that impresses foreigners the most, but Sun Liren's New First Army. The New First Army expedition to Burma killed and wounded 109,000 Japanese troops at a cost of 17,000 casualties. When the New First Army captured the important town of Yubang in Myanmar, his subordinates asked Sun Liren how to deal with Japanese prisoners of war. General Sun's answer was: Ask those bastards who have been to China. Those who have been to China will be shot on the spot. This will be done in the future.
More than 60 years have passed, and a few Chinese people know that the Eighth Route Army only eliminated a Japanese transport team in the Pingxingguan victory. Moreover, the victory at Pingxingguan was only part of the Battle of Pingxingguan, and the Battle of Pingxingguan was part of the Battle of Taiyuan.
More than 60 years have passed, and several Chinese people know that Li Xiangyang and his guerrillas are fictional. The army that really frightened the Japanese army was the Chairman's Guard of the National Army. This army uses German equipment and even has personal guidance from German instructors. At Yuhuatai in Nanjing, two battalions of the Chairman's Guards blocked a Japanese Class A division alone (in World War II, the Japanese army had only six Class A divisions in total). On average, each soldier had to hold on to a 25-meter-long position and faced 50 soldiers of the Japanese elite troops. However, the winner was still the Chinese.
More than 60 years have passed, and several Chinese people know that Zhang Lingfu, who was full of evil in film and television works, is a hero of the Anti-Japanese War. During the Battle of Changsha, he led a death squad to outflank the trail and capture Zhang Gufeng at night, making great contributions to the Chinese army's successful blocking of the Japanese army. Zhang Lingfu also lost a leg during the War of Resistance.
More than 60 years have passed. Several Chinese people know that in the Changde Defense Battle, 8,000 officers and soldiers of the 57th Division of the 74th Army blocked 100,000 Japanese troops for 15 days. In the end, only 200 people were able to fight. The division commander sent the last telegram from the 57th Division of the 74th Army: All ammunition is exhausted, reinforcements are exhausted, there are no people, and the city has been destroyed. The deputy division commander, division director, department director, and staff director of the General Staff Department guarded the Central Bank. Each regiment leader divided areas and guarded a room to make the final resistance until death and wished victory. Long live the 74th Army, long live Chairman Chiang Kai-shek!
More than 60 years have passed, and a few Chinese people know that the Wuhan air battle broke out in the sky over Wuhan, which lasted only second to the British air battle. In that air battle, the Chinese Air Force shot down 78 Japanese aircraft and sunk 23 Japanese ships. At that time, whenever the air-raid sirens sounded, many Wuhan citizens did not crawl into air-raid shelters, but climbed onto the roofs in order to see the scene of a Japanese aircraft being shot down.
More than 60 years have passed, and several Chinese people know that there are 17 military factories in Chongqing that insist on 24-hour production under enemy bombings. Taking the Jinling Military Factory as an example, during the Anti-Japanese War, it produced a total of 7,000 mortars, 18,000 heavy machine guns, 280,000 rifles, 300,000 grenades, and 200,000 explosive packets.
More than 60 years have passed, and a few Chinese people know what the Japanese surrender letter looks like. Why only publicize the Japanese invasion of China on September 18 but not the Japanese surrender on August 15? Why don’t the people see the Japanese surrender document? Is it just because the article appears many times: the Japanese army, navy, air force and its auxiliary forces surrendered to Chairman Chiang Kai-shek. Or maybe it was because the recipient was: General Chiang Kai-shek, the supreme commander of China's theater of war, who was specially sent to represent the Army's first-level general He Yingqin.
You know, the Great Patriotic War of China is one of the four major anti-fascist wars in the world! It cannot be won by guerrilla warfare, sparrow warfare, tunnel warfare, or mine warfare. It was won by using a large group of troops to fight the enemy in bloody battles! During the war, 3,211,418 officers and soldiers of the Chinese Army died heroically, including 8 generals, 41 lieutenant generals, and 71 major generals. 6,164 pilots of the Chinese Air Force spilled blood in the sky, and 2,468 fighter planes were shot down. The entire national army and navy were wiped out, and all ships were burned down.
Salute all those who have fought for the survival and dignity of the Chinese nation!
