It has been 73 years since the end of the War of Resistance Against Japan, and after 14 years of bloody struggle by the people of the Chinese, we won the victory in the War of Resistance Against Japan, but we also made great sacrifices for it. According to data released by Wikipedia and the Kuomintang army, during the War of Resistance, the Nationalist army killed about 3.8 million people, while the Japanese army died more than 450,000 people (excluding the northeast).
That is to say, even if all 450,000 people were killed by the state, the death ratio between the two sides was as high as 8.4:1, that is, the nationalist army did not kill a Japanese soldier, and it was eight or nine deaths, so there was a saying of "killing 1,000 enemies and losing 800".
Beginning in 1937, in just four months, the Nationalist army took a large part of the territory of Hebei, Chahar, Suiyuan, Shanxi, Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces. In December, the Nationalists claimed to coexist with the city of Nanjing, burning almost all the ships crossing the river, but fled first at the critical moment.
As a result, the army collapsed, and the Japanese army captured the city of Nanjing, and began a long-planned massacre plan. Among them, it is worth mentioning that at the time of the Nanjing Massacre, 5 Japanese soldiers escorted 3,000 prisoners to be shot, and many people will ask, why did the Nationalist army not rise up at that time?
Logically, the difference in the proportion of people is so large that as long as the collective resistance cannot all survive, they can also survive partly, but none of the nationalist troops resist and are obediently led by the Japanese. Years later, the Nanjing Massacre was mentioned again, and when it came to this issue, experts analyzed:
First, these captured Nationalist troops did not think at all that the Japanese army escorted them to the execution ground, not to the prisoners of war shelter, and that the so-called benefits of the Japanese surrender were greatly dripped, but they were just a blindfold, and as the victorious side, Japan wanted to leave a trace of illusion to the nationalist army, so that they could not work together to resist, after all, living is their voice.
Second, there is an old saying that "the gun strikes the head bird". At that time, perhaps in the 3,000-strong national army, there may be many people in their minds who have many obscenities in their minds, a group of people who are strange, kill Japanese devils, and regain the freedom of rebirth, but no one is willing to be the first to stand up, and everyone places the hope of life on others.
Third, this may also be a later story, even if the Nationalist prisoners succeeded in getting rid of these five Japanese, but there were 200,000 Japanese troops stationed in Nanjing at that time, in a very short time, the Japanese reinforcements would arrive, but as prisoners unarmed, their fate was also bullets.
Fourth, since the Nationalist army had surrendered and been captured, it had already lost its sense of combat and had the consciousness of survival, but it did not have the heart of PUBG. Therefore, in the face of a Japanese, dozens of hundreds of prisoners did not dare to move.
Conclusion: Since the War of Resistance Against Japan was fought for the independence of the nation, it was necessary to prefer to die in battle than to be taken prisoner.
