The long river of history is running endlessly, there are calm waves, there are also waves, let Xiaobian take you into history and understand history.
As we all know, during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Chinese can be roughly divided into three categories of people, one is the patriots who actively resist japan, the other is the ordinary people who are oppressed, and the other is the traitors who aid and abett the abuse.
In that era, traitors were called puppet soldiers and traitors, they were obviously Chinese, but they did things for the invaders, and became the most despised type of people in the country. It is said that during the more than ten years of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, China had a total of millions of puppet army troops, which is a frightening number.
In addition to using puppet troops to call these traitors and traitors, sometimes people will hear another name, that is, the Imperial Allied Army, and this role will appear in many anti-Japanese film and television dramas. But many people have been confused about the difference between the Imperial Allied Army and the puppet army, thinking that there is no difference between them, but in fact, this is a wrong perception.
Strictly speaking, puppet army is a broad term, that is, all treasonous Chinese troops can be called puppet army, including the imperial allied army, which is also a part of it. Of course, sometimes it can also refer specifically to the "Manchukuo Army" of the puppet state of Manchukuo.
The Manchukuo Army was subordinate to the puppet state of Manchukuo, which was the puppet regime that Puyi had established by relying on the Japanese. This army was openly under the orders of Puyi, but the actual control was still in the hands of the Japanese, after all, even Puyi himself did not have much freedom, let alone his army.
The Japanese supported the establishment of puppet armies, in fact, mainly to make the puppet army cannon fodder for war, incidentally to help them govern the areas that had been occupied, which could reduce their burden a lot.
As a small errand boy with poor ability, the puppet army does not have much combat effectiveness, and most of them are just for mixed food, so don't look at their large numbers, but they are just a ragtag group.
So what is the Imperial Allied Army? They refer to the North China Security Army, whose main scope of activity is in North China. Its command power was directly in the hands of the Japanese, and its main duty was to help the Japanese suppress the anti-Japanese military and civilians and control local law and order.
Compared with the Manchukuo army, the Imperial Allied Army was more loyal to Japan, and their crimes were heavier, and they were real traitors and traitors. During the Japanese invasion of China, they played tricks for the tigers, aided and abetted abuse, and often carried out "great sweeping" activities with the Japanese army, which brought great harm to the Chinese people.
In fact, no matter what kind of puppet army they are, they have committed numerous crimes, which can be described as deep sins. After the war, most of the important figures in the puppet army were tried and executed, and as for the little minions, they were dealt with according to the situation. Some people were dismissed, and some people joined the new team, such as the Imperial Allied Army, which became the 9th Route Army of the Nationalist Army, and was whitewashed in the blink of an eye.
