Introduction: After the September 18 incident, the military and people of our country were very shocked, and after that day, Japan officially began their long-planned war of aggression against China. At that time, china's civil war was chaotic, and because the Northeast Army pursued a policy of non-resistance at that time, this made the arrogant Japanese army even more unscrupulous.
In the middle and late period of the Anti-Japanese War, why did the Japanese army not take Shaanxi?
Not long after the incident, the Japanese army very easily occupied china's three northeastern provinces and other regions, the Japanese army not only invaded a large area of china's territory, but also obtained a lot of military resources and war supplies, which caused great trauma to China at that time.
At that time, Japan had already occupied the three northeastern provinces, but why did it not occupy the neighboring Shaanxi region? Let's take a look at it together. At that time, the Japanese army launched the 918 incident shortly after the shocking Lugou Bridge incident, when the three northeastern provinces and the entire north China region were infected by the Japanese army.
After that, the Japanese army began to march in the direction of Shanghai, trying to erode our country step by step. Because the military and economic level of our country at that time was different from that of Japan, and because the army was in a war at that time, the whole country did not form a unified anti-Japanese front, and the Japanese army seized on these weaknesses and successively occupied many big cities.
At that time, after the Japanese army captured north and northeast China, it also tried to occupy the two big cities of Yan'an and Chongqing, which made the consequences of the successful occupation of the Japanese army unimaginable. At the time of his death, the Japanese army also wanted to occupy the Shaanxi region of China, but in the end it was unsuccessful.
It was still very difficult to occupy Shaanxi with the equipment of the Japanese army at that time and its military strength. At that time, Japan's failure to successfully occupy Shaanxi was actually related to the fact that there were many local military schools in Shaanxi, and the "Anti-Japanese Red Army School" that we are most familiar with was located in Shaanxi.
This school can be called the "Whampoa Military Academy" in Shaanxi, when China was founded in order to cultivate a large number of military talents and war command talents, but many cadets have become the backbone cadres in the army. In addition to the "Anti-Japanese Red Army School".
At that time, there were many other military schools in northern Shaanxi, such as the Huangpu Military Academy branch of the Nationalist Army in Hanzhong, Shaanxi. Therefore, it was very difficult for the Japanese army to capture Shaanxi at that time, because the defense force in Shaanxi was much stronger than in other regions.
In addition to the fact that the Shaanxi region had many military academies at that time was a huge obstacle to the Japanese army's occupation of Shaanxi, there was also a huge obstacle that affected the Japanese occupation of Shaanxi, that is, the terrain of Shaanxi that was easy to defend and difficult to attack.
At that time, the reason why the Japanese army was able to quickly occupy the plains of our country was because the mechanization of Japan at that time was developing very rapidly, and the automobile industry in their country was developed, and they were successful in the plains by taking advantage of the advantages of means of transportation.
On the other hand, the Shaanxi region, where there are many mountain ranges, is one of the representative areas that are easy to defend and difficult to attack since ancient times. The mechanized superiority of the Japanese army was not good at all in the Shaanxi region, and some weapons with high lethality in areas with more obstructions, such as mountainous areas, could not exert their maximum power.
On the contrary, guerrilla warfare tactics like our army's are particularly popular in shaanxi, so the Japanese army was ultimately unable to invade and occupy China's Shaanxi region. However, the Japanese were very covetous of the rich resources of the Shaanxi region, and the Japanese army believed that the Shaanxi region was very suitable for their "war to feed the war" tactic.
Therefore, they still launched several invasion wars against Shaanxi, but in the end they all ended in failure. At that time, the Japanese army frantically launched a war against china's interior, and due to the disparity in strength, many cities were eventually occupied. Since the Japanese army needed to send troops to these occupied cities and consume materials, this was a big problem for the Japanese army, which was already short of military supplies at that time.
In order to solve this problem, the Japanese army still coveted the Shaanxi region of our country, but due to their own lack of resources and military strength, they could not successfully capture the Shaanxi region that was "easy to defend and difficult to attack", and their plot was not achieved in the end.
Although the Japanese army could not play their best tactics in the Shaanxi region, the crazy Japanese Kou still chose to bomb the Shaanxi region many times. The outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression in an all-round way has led our army to regard the Shaanxi region as the rear area of the troops.
There were not only many anti-Japanese armed forces there, but also many tactics specifically aimed at the terrain of Shaanxi, and all the Japanese troops could only blame their own lack of strength if they did not capture Shaanxi in the end.
Summary: Later, when studying why the Japanese army did not capture the Shaanxi region of China, many military scientists agreed that one point is that the terrain of Shaanxi is "easy to defend and difficult to attack", and the other point is that the strength of the Japanese army itself is insufficient and there is no strength to invade shaanxi. After the bloody struggle of many of our country's anti-Japanese heroes, we finally drove the Japanese out of our country, and we have lived a good life ever since.
