As soon as I say this, it is estimated that some small partners will have some other ideas.
In fact, it can also be understood, after all, the five main forces of the Kuomintang, put on the shelf in the liberation war, it looks like that, not to say, by our People's Liberation Army, that is, left package, right package, all swallowed, I feel that the whole process did not struggle much.
But don't forget that the War of Liberation was an internal contradiction between brothers. Since the beginning of the Opium War, we have been fighting wars in China for more than a hundred years, and it is time to stop, Chinese really do not want to fight, but Chiang Kai-shek wants to provoke a civil war.
Morally, the Kuomintang is unreasonable, and it still pays attention to morale in war? He couldn't stand the Kuomintang, and it was perfectly normal to be wrapped in dumplings.
But if you want to say that in foreign wars, the five main forces of the Kuomintang are instigators, and a hundred small editors disagree.
Of course, he was not convincing in such dry and empty words, wasn't he? Then Xiaobian will give you an example for you to listen to.
I am not going to tell you a specific example, but I will talk about the changes in a Japanese division in the course of fighting with China, and finally encounter the new first army of the five main forces of the Kuomintang.
What about that division? Japanese Eighteenth Division.
This thing is a very madman, a trump unit in the hands of the Japanese.
It was founded in November 1907 and abolished in May 1925.
Speaking of this, it is estimated that some small partners will be happy: "This has been canceled, what combat effectiveness?" ”
Xiaobian is here to explain this problem to the big guys.
After the Meiji Restoration in Japan, he established six towns, according to which he established six divisions, from the first to the sixth, with 64,000 men, but it could be directly expanded to 220,000 troops if mobilized.
Then there was a special presence in this stage, that is, the Japanese Seventh Division, which at the beginning was the Hokkaido Tuntian Unit, which did not belong here, and this unit was officially given the name in 1894 - the Seventh Division.
Speaking of this, it is estimated that some small partners have to say: "Japan can mobilize 220,000 troops, why should it form seven divisions?" ”
The Japanese have no money, the pocket is cleaner than the face, the Sino-Japanese War, do you think he started it with the money of his own family? A large portion of the cost of the war was fought with money borrowed from the pockets of the British Americans.
So at that time, the Japanese could feed these seven divisions, that was already the limit, and if they did more, they would crush themselves.
This is also why, some friends said that if the Sino-Japanese Naval Battle was propped up, the Qing government would not sit at the negotiating table if it was killed, and the drag could also drag the Japanese to death.
In order to fight the Sino-Japanese War, the Japanese could not open the pot at home, and the peasants also rioted.
Don't talk about it, just be angry when you say it.
At that time, the Japanese relied on these seven divisions to launch the Battle of Jiawu.
Then, after the Sino-Japanese War, the Japanese tasted the high dividends brought about by foreign expansion, coupled with the various reparations of the Qing government and the benefits obtained in China, they further expanded their troops and built five more divisions, and the Japanese ranked the Twelfth Division.
During the Russo-Japanese War, the Japanese relied mainly on these twelve divisions to win the final victory.
Then the Russo-Japanese War was not finished, the Japanese found that on the battlefield and the old powers fought and killed, there were fewer people, and many people died when a board charge came down, so during the Russo-Japanese War, they once again expanded their troops and added four divisions.
This led to the Sixteenth Division, which was actually a temporary formation, but after the end of the Russo-Japanese War, the Japanese did not dismantle these four divisions, but kept them.
It is estimated that the Japanese ate the cheap of many people and good things, and after the end of the Russo-Japanese War, two more were added, and this division ranked eighteenth.
By 1910, Japan had swallowed the Korean Peninsula, which required a permanent presence of troops, so Japan added two more divisions, which led to the Twentieth Division.
If you add the Japanese Guards Division, Japan has twenty-one divisions, which can be described as strong and strong.
After the end of the First World War, the world ushered in the Great Depression, and the Japanese were also blown by this small wind, after all, the foundation was thin, and the ability to resist risks was poor.
Thus there were three disarmaments in Japanese history, four divisions were abolished, and thirteen, fifteen, seventeen, and eighteen were gone.
Japan became seventeen standing divisions, totaling 250,000 men.
That's what he did.
Then this matter was reorganized by the Eighteenth Division in September 1937, and as soon as he looked at this date, the big guys knew that the Japanese were planning to start invading China, and his 250,000 men were not enough to summon.
The Eighteenth Division was formed in Kurume, Japan, and was then incorporated into the Kwantung Army as a group of industrial workers.
This unit, especially faceless and ferocious, landed at the Acropolis of Jinshan in Hangzhou Bay in November.
The Eighteenth Division invaded Greater China
On November 28, more than 4,000 people from this division and regiment attacked Zhejiang Changxing and invaded Guangde, Anhui.
You don't know what he did in Guangde County? At that time, house-to-door searches were conducted, but all the young and strong men who saw them were tied up with ropes, and these people were gathered together to bury their corpses and carry things.
In the end, there were hundreds of such strong men, who were inserted by the Japanese with glass bottles behind the lower part of the body, and you know that it was in that position that killed the living.
See women, young and old, play out the characteristics of rogues, you want to go! If you resist a little, you will be stabbed to death with a bayonet, and you will be stabbed to death with your teeth in a frenzy.
In the end, they also got themselves a comfort station.
When the Japanese were about to retreat, the Eighteenth Division, composed of a group of industrial workers, happily lit all the houses in the city, and they were afraid that they would not burn them clean, so they poured gasoline on the houses first, and the fire burned for three days and three nights, and you could not see a good house in Guangde City.
As for the grain, all that they couldn't take away was poured into the ditch, and even the sauce in the shop that sold pickles was not spared, either to throw excrement or to throw in the corpses, and as for the well, you casually looked inside, and all of them had corpses.
At this point, there was nothing to eat in Guangde City, and these Eighteenth Divisions, composed of Japanese industrial workers, were happy and left happily.
On January 13, 1938, the guerrillas entered the city and found more than two hundred bodies without burying them.
One of the pregnant women's stomachs was thrown away, and everything inside was pulled out and stuffed with a lot of salt.
Many of the heads were lying on the ground, and the corpses did not know where they were, and it was said that there was a Wang Fuji rice village in the city with many charred thighs.
In fact, there were not many people in Guangde City, that is, five or six hundred people, it can be said that they were all dead, and they ended their lives in a very miserable way.
So don't say anything to the editor, Japan launched World War II, that's what they are at the top, how the people at the bottom are doing, don't pull that.
Isn't a newly formed division or regiment composed of ordinary people? He's so ferocious, you know what it's like all over Japan.
Later, this eighteenth division regiment entered Wuhu, and along the way burned and looted a lot, according to se jean, the French director of Gejishan Hospital at that time, the hospital where he was located had almost three hundred victims who carried back from the street with broken arms and legs.
If you can't feel anything, let's say one more thing, the owner of the Wuhu Temple Pier Wang Tiancheng Chinese Medicine Store had a seventeen-year-old son, who had his head cut off by the Japanese of the Eighteenth Division, and after the incident, he put a hat on the head, stuffed a cigarette in his mouth, and put it on the shopkeeper's counter.
Smiling, he said to the shopkeeper, "Don't move, or you'll burn this neighborhood!" ”
Later, it was not until the head was rotten that the family buried it.
Say these things, you can still listen to it, to say more ferocious, Xiaobian is afraid that you can't sleep at night and have nightmares.
If you want to understand, just look at the British correspondent in China Tian Bolie wrote in 1938 "Outsiders Witness the Atrocities of the Japanese Army in China", where he wrote about what the Japanese army did in the first week of entering Wuhu.
On December 27, the Japanese Eighteenth Division entered the town of Qiaosi in Yuhang County, Zhejiang Province, slaughtering more than 1,360 people, and the whole town became a hell, and only two years later began to return to the town one after another.
There was a thousand pits on the edge of the town, and later the Penyin Cemetery was established.
The Eighteenth Division did everything you could think of, and no matter what you thought was the most vicious and cruel aspect, there was nothing they could not do without you thinking.
Later, the Nanjing Massacre and the bloody suppression of the Eighteenth Division in Shanghai were involved, which can be described as a blood debt.
Good and evil will be rewarded in the end.
The Eighteenth Division, which later came to Vietnam in 1940, received bush training here and then joined the Pacific War.
In the Pacific War, it can be said that the battle results were brilliant, and more than 80,000 British people were forced to surrender in Singapore with 30,000 people, so this was also put on the hat of the king of jungle warfare.
This guy was happy with the Eighteenth Division, and in 1942 he was transferred to Burma.
At that time, the Idea of the Japanese was to take Burma into their hands, strategically encircle China, and cut off China's ties with the world.
At that time, more than 9,000 people of the New Twenty-second Division were killed by this Eighteenth Division, forcing the New Twenty-second Division to retreat to India.
Everybody knows that after the expeditionary force regrouped in India, a new First Army was formed.
At that time, the New First Army had two divisions, one was Sun Liren's Thirty-eighth Division, and the other was Liao Yaoxiang's New Twenty-second Division, with less than 35,000 troops.
On December 29, 1943, we were going to restart the Sino-Indian communication line and open the northern Burmese highway line, and a counter-offensive campaign against northern Burma began, and the Eighteenth Division should be punished.
First of all, in the Battle of Yubang, the Japanese army was defeated.
If you look at japan's war history, you will find that the Japanese will have such a description: this time, the Chinese army has changed in terms of organization, equipment, and even tactics.
In this battle the Japanese Fifty-sixth Wing was beaten to pieces.
Shinichi Tanaka, commander of the Eighteenth Division, said that the Japanese would not be successful after this battle.
In fact, after the Battle of Yubang, you don't have to say the Eighteenth Division, and the other Japanese troops have never had the initiative in the battle, only the share of being beaten.
Eventually the Eighteenth Division was compressed into a place called Mengguan, which would be a decisive battle to determine whether the Eighteenth Division would survive or not.
The two divisions of the New First Army, the New Thirty-eighth Division and the New Twenty-second Division, were responsible for this attack.
In fact, looking through the historical data, this battle could make the Eighteenth Division regiment not even stay alone, but Stilwell, who was supervising the battle at that time, was extremely excited, and he did not find a dense forest in the southwest direction of the Japanese army.
The New First Army did not block this opening, allowing Tanaka Shinichi to open two passages here.
At that time, Tanaka Shinichi's Eighteenth Division had actually been reduced to less than half, and in order to buy time to open the passage, he ordered the fifty-fifth and fifty-sixth companies to resist the attack from the new first army.
The battle was very fierce, the positions of the two sides advanced from twenty meters to ten meters, and then from ten meters to five meters, and finally the positions of the two sides came into contact, overlapped, and there was hand-to-hand combat, which was a common thing.
Say two things and you'll get it.
There is a fortification, we can't take it down for dozens of minutes, this is all in front of the eyes, we throw a grenade, the Japanese can throw it out before the grenade explodes,
In the end, there was no way out, a Chinese soldier directly pulled the grenade, clutched the grenade in his hand, and shoved the whole arm into the firing hole, no matter how the Japanese inside did not let go, until the grenade exploded, killing the four Japanese inside.
There was also a position, it was not easy to take, Corporal Zhang Changyou tied the grenade all over his body, pulled the line, and rushed into the Japanese position with smoke, and died with the Japanese.
There are many such things on this battlefield, and even the US liaison officers who are watching the battle in the back are surprised.
Of course, as a Japanese ace unit, this eighteenth division is also quite strong, and it has launched several counterattacks before and after, and its positions are also repeatedly competing.
As far as the broken flag of Japan arrived, it was lifted up again, and it was lifted up again.
Anyway, he was also the end of the crossbow, and when he encountered an opponent who was stronger than him, he could only shrink up.
Why? In this battle, the Eighteenth Division escaped the fate of being wiped out three times.
Shinichi Tanaka escaped and ran to Gamai, and the last to escape were Nagato United and Yamazaki United.
These two squadrons abandoned hundreds of wounded soldiers who could not follow the breakthrough to escape, so you don't say that the Japanese did not discard their own corpses, it is untenable at all, that is, he was not beaten, he did not discard the corpses, think too much.
But even so, the great encirclement still did not escape.
In the end, this eighteenth division regiment was left with an empty shelf, and by the middle of May, even if it had received two thousand battlefield reinforcements, each infantry squadron would have about ten people left, and the wolf-like, ferocious and even he could take a few bites of his own was gone, and most of them were guys whose will had collapsed.
In less than three weeks, the New First Army once again swept away the remnants of the Eighteenth Division, as well as one part of the encircled Second Division and one part of the Fifty-sixth Division, further narrowing the encirclement.
Tanaka Shinichi was desperate and prepared a knife and a suicide note for himself.
As a result, the dense forest mentioned above was driven out of the way by the Japanese sappers, and the commander of the Eighteenth Division and several squadron leaders escaped with a small number of remnants.
Tell me, what about the new first army?
