The War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression is something we can never forget, this war is not easy for our country to win, and Sichuan has always been the focus of Japanese air raids, but many people have a question, the Japanese army occupied Nanjing in 1937, and in 1939, it was the whole of Central China and North China, why can't sichuan be taken in the next few years? In fact, Sichuan, as a large rear, has always been the foothold of China's War of Resistance, on the contrary, if Sichuan falls, then it will be a heavy blow to the War of Resistance, first of all, the headquarters of the National Government will have to move, and the Japanese army has opened the road to the northwest, making it possible for the Japanese army to seize the oil fields in Xinjiang, which is also a heavy blow to the entire strategy.
In turn, it can be seen that as long as Sichuan does not fall one day, the Japanese army will never be able to completely destroy China, and it is also the entire core of the country at that time, and Sichuan also paid a huge price for the victory of the War of Resistance, not only to provide manpower, but also to be the first in the country in terms of resources, even the local local army, the Sichuan Army, is also a unit with the greatest loss for the heroic troops in the War of Resistance, so it seems to people that as long as Sichuan is still in China's hands for a day, the country will not perish.
Many people wonder why the Sichuan army in Sichuan was so able to fight in the War of Resistance Against Japan, in fact, this is also caused by the national situation, if China can no longer hold the only large rear area in Sichuan, then the Japanese army will easily seize central China, and will also use this as a springboard to occupy China's Xinjiang, and this is not far from the days when the Japanese army has a large number of oil fields, but this in turn is a huge blow to the international anti-fascist situation. Once the Japanese army has oil, then it is more difficult for the US military in the Pacific to counterattack, so the Sichuan army is shouldering the national strategy, of course, this is also a helpless performance of the National Government in the case of no retreat, so the Sichuan army assumed this historical responsibility.
Sichuan's complex terrain itself is easy to defend and difficult to attack, so that the National Government chose to do a large rear here, the advantage is obvious, is to carry out a long-term tug-of-war with the Japanese army, and it is also between the complex terrain of Sichuan, the Japanese army always did not easily attack Sichuan, but used air superiority to send a large number of bombers to bomb Sichuan in turn, but this did not shake the determination of the Sichuan military and civilians to resist Japan, but more determined to win victory in the War of Resistance, and therefore, in the 8-year War of Resistance, Sichuan's contribution of manpower and materials ranks first in the country, and it can be said that if Sichuan does not fall one day, China will not perish for a day.
Although the Sichuan Army was also the first local army to participate in the War of Resistance, the central government seemed to be not optimistic about them from the beginning, and the Sichuan Army not only had no complaints, but also actively participated in the Battle of Songhu. Although the main force of this battle was the Central Army, but the Sichuan Army had an important contribution in later blocking the Japanese army from moving closer to the direction of Nanjing, if it were not for the Sichuan Army's timely establishment of a defensive line at that time, then the Japanese army would quickly break through the remnants of the Central Army and invade the vicinity of Nanjing.
Even if the overall military quality of the Sichuan Army is not high, it does not seem to be discounted in combat, forced by the backwardness of weapons in the early stage of the Sichuan Army's heroic resistance to pay a heavy price, this spirit of fighting with the Japanese army to the last moment greatly refreshed people's view of the Sichuan Army. Since most of the whole of China has fallen shortly after the War of Resistance Against Japan, it can only rely on a province with difficult to defend and difficult to attack as a large rear area, and later the Nationalist Government has built a large number of military factories in Sichuan after receiving assistance from the United States and has become a veritable rear area, which has also become an important base for counterattacking the Japanese army, so until the founding of New China, Sichuan is a major military province, so it has also gained the reputation of Sichuan not falling and the country not perishing.
