History has its own life, it is like a person, both easy-going and self-respecting. ——Yu Qiuyu
There have been countless wars of all sizes in this ancient land of China, and the greatest harm to China is the war of aggression against China, and this great war of the Chinese nation has also made us pay a heavy price, millions of Chinese soldiers died on the battlefield, more than 30 million people died, after 14 years of war of resistance, the Chinese people finally defeated the aggressors and won a great victory.
At the beginning of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Japan at this time has long been a world power, and no one in Asia can shake its status, and after the outbreak of the War of Resistance, Japan also relied on its strong military ability to fight China's rout, although in the early days of the War of Resistance, the Chinese army achieved a great victory in Taierzhuang, but it was powerless to stop the pace of the Japanese army, and the capital of the National Government has always been the key target of the Japanese army, so the capital of the National Government has also been moved several times, even in Chongqing can not avoid the bombing of Japanese aircraft, to 1940, At this time, China and Japan were in a difficult tug-of-war period, not only the prospects of the Chinese people to resist the war were more confused, and in the European battlefield, the German army also defeated the Soviet Union, the world anti-fascist war was facing a severe test, and the Chinese people needed a victory that was more than a good victory and boost morale, and at this time, the Eighth Route Army stood out.
In 1940, in order to further attack the Japanese invaders and enhance the determination of the vast number of soldiers and civilians to resist the war, the Eighth Route Army was ready to launch a big war against the Japanese army, and for this big war, Peng Dehuai has also been thinking about the strategic plan, how to completely defeat the enemy, in early August, the eighth route army deputy general Peng Dehuai gathered more than 100 regiments, in north China and northwest Jin thousands of kilometers of the front launched an attack on the Japanese Kou, and the Eighth Route Army participated in the war of more than 200,000 people, the main purpose of the Eighth Route Army is to destroy the enemy's transportation lifeline, The Eighth Route Army's combat operations against the Japanese army were also supported by Chiang Kai-shek, who also ordered the Nationalist army to provide support for the Eighth Route Army and attack the Japanese Kou, and Chinese once again vented his anger and dealt a fierce blow to the Japanese army.
This great war did not end until January of the following year, the Eighth Route Army with backward equipment, the Eighth Route Army achieved brilliant results, this war Japanese puppet army casualties of 45,000 people, killed more than 20,000 Japanese troops, the Japanese army's communication route was almost completely cut off, in this battle, the Eighth Route Army also captured a large number of japanese puppet army military equipment, piled into hills, and these captured equipment is also enough to equip two divisions, at that time the Eighth Route Army lack of equipment, which also enhanced the combat effectiveness of our army, after which the Eighth Route Army is even more active in attacking the Japanese army.
