What is history: it is the echo of the past to the future, the reflection of the future on the past. - Hugo
During World War II, sometimes due to the lack of weapons and equipment, and the supply was also cut off, the only way for soldiers on the front line to fight the enemy was to fight with bayonets, otherwise they would voluntarily surrender and become prisoners. Usually the side with the bayonet must be very disadvantageous, because as long as the enemy does not come close, you have no choice but to be beaten silently, and you cannot even resist. This situation is the most humiliating, and many of our fighters have sacrificed in this way.
In that era, the Japanese army had a deep knowledge of fighting bayonets, skillfully using a variety of cold weapons, and when they were not fighting, they would let soldiers train for a while to improve their white-knife warfare ability. Coupled with the so-called Bushido spiritual blessing, the Japanese army felt that they were invincible in white-knife warfare, and no one could defeat them in this field. But the face is that in the middle and late stages of World War II, when facing the Soviet army, it was instigated.
Soviet soldiers also have a certain degree of research on the bayonet, the technology is also relatively high, when the Soviet army attacked the Kwantung Army, and the Japanese army also fought several white-knife battles, but since then, there is no courage to fight with the Soviet army bayonet. Many people are curious about what the reason is, the answer is very simple, just look at the casualty ratio, reaching a crazy 20 to 1, once this set of data was the number of Russian casualties during the Russo-Japanese War.
With 20 people for 1 person, this loss is quite large. When the Soviet Union dealt with the Kwantung Army, 20 was the number of Japanese casualties, and the role was completely reversed, from here it can be seen that at the level of white-knife warfare, how much sweat the Soviet army paid, if it were not for the efforts of the day after tomorrow, it would not be possible to do this. Therefore, there is also a reason why the Japanese army is jealous, that is, to treat its human body in the same way.
After experiencing such defeats, the Japanese army once again frantically improved the soldiers' white-knife combat ability, and all of them weakened the enemy's strength in a life-for-life manner. During the Pacific War, the Japanese army's extreme "jade crush charge" made the US army suffer a lot, even in the face of a rain of bullets, these Japanese soldiers will never back down, which can be described as quite terrible.
