During the War of Resistance Against Japan, our army was short of materials, but only this thing was sufficient, and the truth in it was heart-wrenching
As we all know, we can now have such a peaceful and peaceful living environment because our revolutionary martyrs have bought it with their lives and blood. Without their desperate resistance and insistence on fighting, our current country would most likely have been occupied by other countries, and our Chinese nation would no longer exist in this world.
When the Industrial Revolution arose, many Countries in the West became stronger by it, especially britain, and no one could compete with it at that time. Japan saw the opportunity to vigorously develop industry in its own country at the end of the industrial revolution and caught up with the trend. It is precisely because of this opportunity that Japan has suddenly become a developed country and the most powerful country in Asia.
After the development of Japan, its ambitions have also become larger, and it is even delusional to become the master of Asia. In order to achieve this ambitious goal, Japan chose China, which has a vast territory, to take the lead. At that time, China was at the end of the Qing Dynasty, and everyone knew that china at the end of the Qing Dynasty had been practicing a closed-door policy because of the ignorance and arrogance of the ruling class, the level of national strength had plummeted, and the government was timid and incompetent, constantly compromising in the face of foreign aggression. Japan launched the Sino-Japanese War against China, and China suffered a crushing defeat, and at this time Japan made excessive demands on China, demanding that China cut up land, lose money, and take China's money to develop its own military undertakings.
Later, Japan launched a war against China, and we and Japan began a 14-year War of Resistance Against Japan. The Qing Dynasty was invaded by the Western powers in response to the decline of its national strength, and the great powers continued to make unreasonable demands on China, And China had ceded a lot of land and compensated a lot of money, and the entire national treasury had long been empty. In the face of Japanese aggression, China is like a broken rag doll, vulnerable, but we have a group of patriotic fighters who are not afraid of hardships and dangers, not afraid of difficulties, and bravely confront Japan.
During the war, our army's materials were extremely scarce, and it was common for our soldiers not to eat enough and not to wear warm clothes; in the most difficult times, everyone picked up the bark of trees and dug up grass roots to fill their stomachs, and it was impossible for meat to appear. Whether it is summer or winter, they wear thin clothes, and if the clothes are broken, they will be patched with a few patches at will, and even bad clothes can be worn for a long time. The Japanese were different, eating canned beef, wearing iron helmets on their heads and clothes made of the finest fabrics. This shows how big the gap between us is.
The gap between our army and the Japanese army is not only in life, but also in weapons and equipment, the Japanese army is fully equipped, but we are short of guns and ammunition. At that time, the main source of guns and ammunition in our country was its own production and captured on the battlefield. Because of the resistance of the Japanese army, we produced very few guns. Although many guns could be captured on the battlefield, there was a shortage of ammunition.
Although our supplies are very tight, there is one thing that is very abundant, and that is straw shoes. The warriors each have grass shoes, some even have several pairs, they wear straw shoes regardless of summer or snow, even the Long March is also worn by grass shoes, so the soldiers also have a necessary skill, that is, weaving straw shoes.
The soldiers wore straw shoes to fight the Japanese army on the battlefield, resisted hard, defended the homeland and the people, and finally defeated the Japanese and drove them out of China, and our revolutionary ancestors were more admiring than full of heartache.
