History has its own life, it is like a person, both easy-going and self-respecting. ——Yu Qiuyu
As we all know, the War of Resistance Against Japan is now counted from the september 18 Incident in 1931, after all, from 1931 to 1937, the six years of local War of Resistance Against Japan can also be regarded as part of the War of Resistance Against Japan, so in this way, our Chinese War of Resistance Against Japan fought for a total of fourteen years, which is relatively long, longer than the combined time of World War I and World War II. But then again, after the end of the War of Resistance Against Japan, the ensuing War of Liberation was fought for only three years, and it was declared over after the Kuomintang withdrew to Taiwan.
The early stages of the War of Resistance Against Japan
So why did the War of Resistance Against Japan take fourteen years, but the War of Liberation ended in only three years?
It should be known that after the end of the War of Resistance Against Japan, the total strength of the Kuomintang army at that time was 4.3 million, including 86 integrated divisions (armies) of the army, about 2 million people in 248 brigades (divisions), 360,000 special forces, 160,000 in the air force, and 30,000 in the navy. The People's Liberation Army under the leadership of the Communist Party of China had about 1.27 million people during the same period, including 610,000 in the field army, 22 divisions with columns and columns, and 94 brigades and brigades. But even so, we still won the "millet plus rifle" to win the Kuomintang.
The phase of the War of Resistance Against Japan
Chairman Mao once said:
The War of Resistance Against Japan is imminent, and the War of Liberation cannot be delayed, and now it seems that this statement is not wrong. According to the general law, the total strength and equipment of the other side do not exceed each other, and we must not enter into a strategic decisive battle. Not necessarily, in the more than two years of the War of Liberation, we have rolled up, we have fought hard, we have accumulated favorable conditions for decisive battles, like concave and convex mirrors, toward the scorching sun, a hundred times a thousand times the luminosity converged to a point, white-hot - smoke - can not help but burn.
The War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression is a strategy of in-depth aggression, And Japan relies on the mainland to rely on "Manchuria" to rely on the "rear" but after all, it is not a local battle, and Japan's resource endowment is poor, and it collapses when it drags on, and it cannot be anxious, and it falls into the rhythm of the Japanese people's own imagination, so it drags the enemy to the rear and drags on the protracted war.
The later stages of the War of Resistance Against Japan
At that time, Japan had been completely militarized, and it was in urgent need of rapid expansion, and the longer the time dragged on, the more unfavorable it would be to Japan; in particular, after the Pacific War, the Japanese military department even stopped the supply of grain to the Japanese army invading China.
The domestic situation after the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japan
The War of Liberation is a struggle between the strengths of China's internal leadership discourse and the ecological definition of the country and the people, and if it drags on for a long time, the Kuomintang reactionaries' dominant position in the country is stabilized, and the situation of the struggle will become worse and worse, so it will be fought after accumulating favorable conditions!
According to the intentions of the United States and the Soviet Union, they felt that China should be divided between the north and the south according to the two camps of the Cold War, just like the Korean Peninsula, the VietnamEse Peninsula, and Germany. Since then, China has a large volume, and once it is divided, the problem will be a hundred times more serious. Therefore, the war of liberation must be urgent, once the North-South confrontation is formed and the United States and the Soviet Union intervene, China will fall into a split for a long time under the role of the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union.
