During the War of Resistance Against Japan, China's weapons were relatively backward. Compared with the Japanese, Japan's strategic materials are abundant and the weapons in their hands are also very advanced. On the other hand, there are very few bullets in the hands of our army, and to know that there are no bullets on the battlefield means that they can only be beaten, and they have no ability to resist.
After the bullets were fired, our soldiers had to go forward and fight the Japanese in close combat. At the beginning of the War of Resistance Against Japan, we did not have our own arsenal. Only guns and ammunition and more important strategic supplies could be taken from the Japanese. For our country, the war was extremely difficult and stressful.
How many bullets can be captured by killing a Japanese soldier during the War of Resistance? When the Japanese were preparing for war, they would not carry more than 40 rounds of ammunition, while the cavalry would not exceed 60 rounds. In fact, the Japanese army not only strictly controlled the number of bullets carried by soldiers, but also made strict regulations on the use of ammunition for the puppet army to avoid the puppet army. This made the Chinese army's attempt to replenish ammunition consumption by collecting ammunition.
Thus, in the War of Resistance, only a small fraction of the Eighth Route Army's weapons were seized, some of which were produced by its own secret military factories. Even so, the Eighth Route Army's bullets were still scarce. According to the data, the per capita number of bullets of the Eighth Route Army during the War of Resistance Against Japan was less than 5, which was simply the tip of the iceberg of the Japanese army. Therefore, you can imagine how hard our ancestors fought, and many people do not realize how hard our victory was. The "answer" is poignant.
