With these five provinces in the country, you can easily resist foreign enemies and see if your hometown is on the list? How powerful are these five provinces? What kind of achievements have they made in the war?
From ancient times to the present, our country has received the attention of many countries, and even some delusional countries still want to invade and occupy our country, but they all end up in failure, and this end is an end that we thought of at the beginning, but these Wokou always thought that they could challenge us.
You know, in the history of China's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, there are 5 provinces that are simply "door gods"," and even now there is still a saying circulating: "As long as these five provinces exist, the country will not disappear."
It can be seen from this that these five provinces are extremely strong in the past, at present, and in the future, so what kind of hard deeds did these five provinces make during the War of Resistance?
The first thing that must be said is the Sichuan Army, which is definitely a "death squad" in the anti-war team.
At that time, when the July 7 Incident occurred, the first to fight for our country was the Sichuan Army, and they were fearless at that time, and their only idea was to drive these Wokou out of China.
According to relevant records, at that time, a total of 3.5 million Sichuan troops participated in the entire period of the War of Resistance, directly accounting for one-fifth of the total number of people in the national War of Resistance, and the number of Sichuan troops alone was deservedly the first, but the number of people alone naturally could not become the dominant existence.
Everyone officially began to look at the Sichuan army in the Tengxian defense war, the Sichuan army at that time can be said to be invincible, division commander Wang Mingzhang with 3,000 Sichuan troops and various weapons, in 3 days to annihilate more than 2,000 Japanese troops, this is not counting those wounded Japanese troops, it can be seen how fierce the Sichuan army offensive.
But what is heartbreaking is that after this battle, almost all of the Sichuan army was martyred, but fortunately, no one became a prisoner of the enemy, which is also the last luck.
Although this battle caused countless Sichuan troops to lose their lives, it also made them famous and became the key to the victory of the Taierzhuang Campaign, so it seems that their sacrifice is valuable and worthy of the admiration of the world.
To this day, the Sichuan people around them are still proud of the Sichuan army that was sacrificed, but this is not over, in the Battle of Songhu that broke out in 1937, the Sichuan army once again created a miracle.
More than 4,000 people of the Sichuan army and the Wokou fought for 7 days and 7 nights, and in the end, although only 600 people were left, no one in the Sichuan army escaped from the battle, and they vowed to fight for the country to the last moment, even if they sacrificed their lives.
Moreover, the Sichuan army at that time was not equipped with sophisticated weapons like the current army, but what they needed to face was the well-equipped Wokou, and they also successfully held their positions, and this courage alone is worth learning.
According to relevant records, in the eight years of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the Sichuan Army not only provided nearly 3 million troops, but also took the initiative to bear 50% of the country's financial expenditure, and even the huge gap in grain did not give up.
It is worth mentioning that the world-famous generals such as Mr. Zhu and Mr. Chen are heroes from Sichuan, and even martyrs such as Qiu Shaoyun and Huang Jiguang are also from Sichuan.
It can be seen that Sichuan is an absolutely powerful existence, they are not afraid of strong enemies, and they are not stingy to pay.
Then we come to Guangxi, which was the province that could fight the most during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, although most of the soldiers here were small in stature, but they were flexible and fast, and they did not lose the battle at all, so the Gui army was also called "wolf soldiers".
Among the many Gui army, the most representative is the Gui 7 Army, their existence is a manifestation of absolute strength, they are the most effective troops in the Gui army, even if they are put together with the regional ace main force, it is also one of the best existence, and their single-minded feelings for the country are not worse than other provinces.
You must know that in just one month after the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Guangxi expanded the strength of 40 regiments, and this strength and determination are not available to every identity.
And in every battle, the "wolf soldiers" in Guangxi have made very beautiful achievements, which is a nightmare existence in the hearts of the Japanese army, so the Gui army has a lot of highlight moments, if you have to take a time period, that is, the Battle of Songhu that year.
At that time, about 60,000 Gui troops participated in this battle, although they suffered heavy casualties in the first confrontation with the Japanese army, but they did not have the slightest intention of retreating, they used the tactics of the sea of people, and the first batch of the fallen group immediately stood up, without stopping for a moment, without giving the Japanese army a chance to breathe.
In this way, the Gui army fought a bloody battle with the Japanese army for 3 days and 3 nights with tenacious will, and looking at the Gui army that was menacing every time, the Japanese army was also confused.
In the end, in this battle, the number of casualties of the Japanese army exceeded 10,000, and the Gui army also suffered a lot of damage, after all, fighting in a geographical environment that they were not good at, itself increased the failure rate, fortunately, they had a later victory with the spirit of "wolf soldiers".
Moreover, it is precisely because of their three days of delay that they have laid an extremely solid foundation for the retreat to Nanjing, without these three days, the Nationalist army is likely to collapse under the pressure of the Japanese army and eventually fail, if you use a word to describe the Gui army, it is never abandoned.
Then there is the third Shandong Province, whenever we mention Shandong Province, the idiom of the five major and three rough always comes to mind, but what many people do not understand is that it is this favorable appearance condition that allows them to win victories again and again in the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and make contributions again and again.
Since the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japan, Shandong Province has become a major guerrilla province, and the anti-Japanese contingent led by railway guerrillas has also been established.
Although the number of guerrillas at the most reached only 300, the existence of each of them was of great significance, and as one of the bases of the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression in North China, it was a very important existence in itself.
When the Japanese army dared to enter the territory of Shandong, they did not know that the railway guerrillas in Shandong were waiting for them, so when they first entered Shandong, they suffered a huge blow, directly catching the Japanese army by surprise.
It is worth mentioning that after the 115th Division of the Red Army entered Shandong, the entire number of people directly changed from 10,000 to 70,000, which means that 60,000 of them are from Shandong, accounting for 90% of the overall strength, which laid a solid foundation for later victories.
Moreover, the strength of Shandong soldiers was highlighted everywhere, and at that time, 1.7 million people in the People's Liberation Army were from Shandong, and the number of wounded of these Shandong soldiers in the war did not exceed 60,000.
Seeing this, I believe that many people have issued an exclamation, lamenting that the Shandong soldiers are inevitably too strong, this sentence is not vain, and in the later support work, the Shandong soldiers have shown their advantages, they have sent nearly 100,000 wounded back to the rear safely, giving them the hope of survival.
And you must not think that the Shandong soldiers have courage and strategy, the protagonist of the sensational Weihu Mountain, Yang Zirong, is an authentic Shandong soldier, if you want to use a word to describe the Shandong soldiers, it must be brave and strategic.
The fourth thing to say is Yunnan, perhaps in the impression of many people, Yunnan is a very romantic place, is the first choice for many people to spend their honeymoon, but during the War of Resistance, the Yunnan Army was an extremely rapid existence, and their degree of toughness was not inferior to that of the Shandong Army.
During the period from the Xinhai Revolution to the Patriotic Movement, the Dian Army was a fearful existence in the hearts of the enemy, and during the War of Resistance Against Japan, it was called "the strong brigade of the country".
During the eight years of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Yunnan was always on the front line, and recruited more than 600,000 soldiers and took out 800,000 tons of military food.
When the War of Resistance Broke Out in full swing, Yunnan did not flinch at all, directly transferred 12 regiments, became the 60th Army of the National Revolutionary Army, and went to the front line with their enthusiasm to kill the enemy and fight with the Japanese army.
But at that time, they were facing a well-equipped Japanese army, so they lost to them at the first pass, not to mention that the Japanese army also had extremely superior air weapons, so the Yunnan soldiers at that time realized that they could only fight to the death to win the victory.
After receiving the order to go to Taierzhuang to fight against the Wokou, they dispatched as quickly as possible, and used their advantages to win a very large encirclement and annihilation time for the friendly troops, laying a solid foundation for subsequent victories.
It is worth mentioning that the Yunnan soldiers at that time suffered heavy casualties in the Battle of Taierzhuang because they were not rich in combat experience and poor equipment.
But even so, the commander of the army, Lu Han, the commander of the division, Zhang Chong, still led the 60th Army and the Japanese army to start a final fight, they were willing to use their own bodies to hold the position, only allowing the enemy to step on their corpses, this momentum even the then Wokou were frightened.
However, despite heavy losses, the Dian army also successfully defended its position in the end, and also won its due honor, only during the Battle of Taierzhuang received three telephone commendations from the supreme commander, which was undoubtedly the greatest encouragement for the Dian army.
The fifth province is Hunan, the Xiang army in Hunan believes that everyone has already heard about it, at that time the strength and momentum of the Xiang army was unbeatable, they were born bold and resolute, never admit defeat, have the bloodiness that soldiers should have the most, not arrogant, and single-mindedly for the country.
Moreover, during the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom period, there was a saying called "no Xiang army without Xiang", which is enough to prove the importance of the Xiang Army in the War of Resistance.
People familiar with the Xiang Army know that Zeng Guopan was the founder of the entire Xiang Army, and he initially integrated the soldiers from all over Hunan into the Xiang Army, and after a little adjustment, it became the main military force of the War of Resistance at that time.
At that time, the Manchu Qing government was still very important to the Xiang army led by Zeng Guopan, and later developed the Huai army with the help of the general Xiang army, and the general Li Hongzhang emerged at this time.
I believe that for the two generals Zeng Guofan and Li Hongzhang, everyone is very fond and respectful, but few people know that they are from Hunan.
Later, under the joint efforts of the Xiang Army and the Huai Army, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was easily destroyed, and it was even more important to save the entire Qing Dynasty by virtue of its own strength, changing the pattern of the Qing Dynasty, and it is no exaggeration to say that if there was no Xiang Army, the Qing Dynasty would probably have collapsed long ago.
Not only that, the Xiang Army also played a pivotal role in the War of Resistance Against Japan, many battles were started in Hunan, the Battle of Changsha, the Battle of West Hunan, etc., are all big battles that can be named.
And the Xiang Army is not those so-called flower racks, their actual combat ability is also very strong, every time in the war with the Xiang Kou can let the Wu Kou see the strength of the Xiang Army, let them have a deeper impression of the Xiang Army, the strength is synonymous with the Xiang Army.
According to relevant data, there were about 210,000 Wukou who were waiting for an opportunity in Hunan and wanted to capture the key point of Hunan in one fell swoop, but after the Xiang army found them, it used all its strength to fight with them, and finally annihilated them, so that Wukou saw what is called the end of wishful thinking.
Moreover, at that time, millions of Hunan people were thrown into the queue of the War of Resistance, and they laid down their families behind them, so that they could drive the Japanese army out of Hunan and Out of China in one fell swoop, and also give everyone a peaceful and prosperous life, and the existence of the Xiang Army laid a solid foundation for the surrender of the Japanese army later.
It is worth mentioning that the unconditional surrender of Japan was signed at the Zhijiang Airport in Hunan, and such an important matter was completed in Hunan, which shows how much Hunan has made great contributions to the victory of the War of Resistance, and Mr. Peng from Hunan is a hero in the hearts of countless Hunan people.
These five provinces have made great contributions in the War of Resistance, are the key to the victory of the War of Resistance, and are indispensable, and it is no wonder that some people say: "In front of these five provinces, all foreign enemies are like ants." ”
The strength of the five major provinces of sichuan, gui, lu, dian, and Xiang, even if they are taken out now, is the existence of the number one person, all of which are admirable, so which of these five provinces do you think is the most powerful?
