The 14-year-long War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression is one of the most memorable pieces of history. Millions of soldiers have fought their lives to save the lives of their country. Despite being so backward in their weapons at the time, they were still fighting against opponents who were stronger than themselves.
When China was in the most desperate and difficult period of the War of Resistance Against Japan, that is, during the War of Resistance Against Japan, Chiang Kai-shek said the following words: As long as these "3 provinces" are not lost, there is no need to worry, no matter how much territory is lost, it can be regained! These three places are Sichuan, Yunnan and Guizhou. Sichuan was the rear of the War of Resistance Against Japan, during which Sichuan sent 3 million soldiers and suffered as many as 600,000 casualties.
Yunnan is bordered in the southwest. After the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japan, Wang Longyun of Yunnan Province immediately said that he could send 300,000 people. Under the leadership of the 60th Group Army of the Yunnan Army, the Yunnan Army embarked on the front line of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and made achievements that attracted worldwide attention in the War of Resistance Against Japan. In the War of Resistance Against Japan, Guizhou was the least known province. During the Republic of China period, Guizhou Province also received less attention. The Guizhou warlords once ruled the country, but were soon disbanded by Chiang Kai-shek.
To be fair, Chiang Kai-shek and the majority of the people of the Nationalist government proceeded from a protracted strategy and used the southwest region as a strategic rear and base for resisting war. At the same time, it is undeniable that Liu Xiang's consideration of the overall situation on the issue of anti-Japanese resistance created the necessary conditions for the establishment of a rear base based in Sichuan after the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression.
