We all know that in war, retreating without orders is not allowed in any country where the army is allowed. However, in Western countries, when the army's battle loss rate reaches 80%, or when there is no hope of a breakthrough, it is generally allowed to surrender its weapons, and it is basically irresponsible to those who surrender, and it can also be respected and used. Therefore, Westerners cannot understand China's War of Resistance Against Japan, and they do not understand why Chinese soldiers did not choose to surrender their weapons and surrender in the land of starvation, but chose to fight to the death. Why? This article is here to answer for you.
As shown above, this is Zhang Zizhong, commander-in-chief of the 33rd Army, grinding troops to prepare for battle. When the Japanese invaded North China, he said to his soldiers: "The country and the nation have reached such a critical juncture that there is no other way but for me to die for them." Later, General Zhang Zizhong was killed on the battlefield. At the same time, during the Great Wall War of Resistance, Song Zheyuan, commander of the 29th Army, also led the division commanders to swear an oath: "I would rather be a ghost of war than a slave to the country!" The 29th Army annihilated nearly 3,000 devils at Xifengkou with Hanyang-made and large knives.
As shown in the picture above, during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Chinese soldiers who preferred to die unyieldingly and with iron bones. When the Japanese army invaded Zhongtiao Mountain, the commander of the 3rd Army, Tang Huaiyuan,000 troops were surrounded, ran out of ammunition and food, and there was no hope of breaking through, Tang Huaiyuan said: "China only has dead military commanders, not captured military commanders. "Then he killed himself with a bullet." On the eve of the defense of Guilin, Kan Weiyong, commander of the 131st Division of the Gui Army, pointed to the coffin shop and said to the entourage: "If I die, I will buy a coffin here and bury me." "The city of Guilin was destroyed, and Kan Weiyong committed suicide and martyrdom.
As shown in the picture, during the Battle of Taierzhuang, the members of the anti-Japanese death squad who were tying grenades to themselves to fight to the death. In the Battle of Taierzhuang, the Sichuan army general Wang Mingzhang guarded Teng County, and Fujian County was lost, and Wang Mingzhang was killed. The parent officials of Fujian County cried and said, "Since the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, there have only been martyred generals and no local officials who have been martyred, and I want to be the first local official to sacrifice for the country." He then jumped off the city walls and was martyred??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????。 On the eve of the Battle of Wuhan, after the Japanese army invaded the Hukou Fortress Fort, the officers and men of the Chinese defenders shouted in unison, "I am born and the country dies, and the country survives.", most of the officers and men of the fortress were martyred heroically.
Pictured above, a Chinese soldier who was shot and fell to the ground at the Battle of Songhu is still clutching a grenade. The British "London News Chronicle" recorded: The war is limited, when the last 300 soldiers in the war, can choose to withdraw from the city, in order to repay the country on other days... If even these few people do not survive, then their heroic deeds will be buried under the rubble and will not be known. Therefore, Westerners cannot understand why they do not choose to surrender their weapons and surrender in the land of starvation, but instead fight to the death. They believe that human life is above all else, and if they lose their resistance, they can surrender their weapons and surrender to save their lives. However, the Chinese soldiers who held inferior weapons during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression were placed in a desperate situation and still had to kill themselves and repay the country with their deaths. For in their eyes, surrendering to the invaders is humiliating, even if it is the last soldier in battle.
Do you say yes or no?
