The answer is no! This answer is frustrating, but it is. The Japanese at the end of World War II, although they were grasshoppers in the autumn, could not bounce for a few days.
But this bungee, that also depends on who is bouncing in front of. In front of the Americans and the Soviets, a single blow with all their might could trample the Japanese to death.
Of course, there is no convincing way to say this, after all, in real history, we have not attacked the 700,000 Kwantung Army.
Therefore, if you want to make this matter clear, it is best to take some examples to corroborate it.
What examples illustrate this problem? Xiaobian felt that the Battle of Yuxianggui could explain this problem very well.
First, let's introduce the background
The battle took place in 1944, a battle in which the Japanese returned to the light in the late stages of World War II.
In this battle, the Japanese gathered half a million troops and launched an attack on us.
Half a million! Such a figure was not a figure that had never been seen in the War of Resistance Against Japan, and the Japanese generally invested more than 200,000 troops in the previous battles.
For the scale of this campaign, according to the Japanese, it was a great expedition rare in a hundred years. In fact, it is almost the same, because the combat area of the entire campaign is 2,400 kilometers long in the north-south direction.
So why did the Japanese launch this offensive?
By 1943, the Japanese had lost the ability to attack strategically in the Pacific, and could only crouch on one island and one island for a stupid defense.
Even so, Japan is an island, and its most deadly sea transport line is about to be strangled by the Americans, and the American planes can bomb him on a large scale in china's airfield.
The above is considered military, and politically the Japanese have become an unpleasant guy.
In October 1943, the Soviet Union, the United States, and Britain held a congress in Moscow to produce a universal declaration, and by November, China, the United States, and Britain had a meeting in Cairo, and a "Cairo Declaration" was issued on their feet.
The Japanese see that their general trend has gone, but do they have to do a dying struggle?
So the Japanese held a meeting of the Imperial Front and produced a No. 1 operation.
The purpose of the operation was to carry out a field battle that would connect the north and south of China and Connect French India. Just this sentence and you know how ambitious the Japanese are.
The Japanese side will introduce it here, and we will look back to see how the preparations of the National Army are?
When it comes to combat, we have to face the problem of equipment, which has always been the threshold that plagues the Chinese army.
This piece of foreign aid is actually a batch of arms that we bought from Germany before the War of Resistance, which can be said to be a one-time thing, and a batch of less than a war has not been replenished.
And no matter how much this batch of weapons was imported, in fact, in the Central Plains War and the Liangguang Incident, these weapons had been consumed for the most part, and the German weapons used in the anti-Japanese war were imported from 1936 to 1938, and the procurement volume was absolutely not more than 150 million marks.
However, these weapons were consumed in the early days of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the Battle of Songhu and the Defense of Nanjing.
As for the assistance of the Americans, you should not expect too much, their support can only buy some military supplies, such as less important medical drugs, as for the purchase of weapons, then don't think about it, a US "Chinese legislation bill" will block almost all the way.
After the introduction of the Lend-Lease Act, American weapons began to appear in Aid to China, but this material accounted for only 2% of the Lend-Lease Act. And these things are only replenished in the troops of the expeditionary force, so you don't have to think about it at home.
According to a distribution of army equipment flown into China, the submachine guns used in China are only 1,700 submachine guns, 351 machine guns, and the most deadly rifles, which are only 1,000.
You should not question this information, because it was used at the time to refute Churchill's complaints. What are you complaining about?
"Oh! You Americans have too many materials to aid China, which is very bad! That makes us blush! ”
So there's absolutely no moisture here, well, this little thing is a drop in the bucket, but it still makes the British blush. So you can understand why, in the early days of the expeditionary force, the supplies fell into the hands of the British, who preferred to surrender and give the ordnance to the Japanese rather than distribute the supplies to the Chinese.
Of course, before surrendering, they would dress themselves decently, at least quite gentlemanly, yes, quite gentlemanly, and the Englishmen loved it when they surrendered.
Well, don't say this, go on, Xiaobian will be angry.
As for the assistance of the Soviets, it was quite interesting, there were more than twelve hundred aircraft, eighty-two tanks, more than fifteen hundred cars, more than a thousand cannons, almost ten thousand machine guns, fifty thousand rifles, and one hundred and eighteen million rounds of other bullets, two million shells.
The Soviets understood the truth, but these things looked like a lot, but in the face of the huge Chinese army, this thing is actually nothing.
According to the literature, in the six years from 1939 to 1944, we produced more than 364,000 rifles, but more than half of these guns were made in Hanyang, and there were not many more advanced chinese and formal.
So dry, for example, you can experience it.
The main battlefield of the second phase of the Battle of Yuxianggui, the Battle of Hengyang, at that time, in order to rescue Hengyang, which was surrounded by the Japanese, the Kuomintang mobilized all the troops that could be mobilized around Hengyang, of which the closest to Hengyang was the Sixty-second Army.
According to the records of the American journalist Bai Xiude at that time, the whole army, three people and one rifle, to say that there are still several guns, but there is no cannon in the real sense, two French-style seven-five guns, that is the world war period thing, nine mortars.
Some of the small partners in this unit do not know, but xiaobian tells you that this is a unit directly under the jurisdiction of the Kuomintang Military Commission.
As for the six armies and sixteen divisions of the most sophisticated American ordnance units, their combat effectiveness far exceeded that of domestic troops, and even in direct confrontation with the elite Japanese troops, they had the ability to annihilate the enemy in one fell swoop, but they were not at home.
You should not doubt the combat effectiveness of this unit, it can be said that the most sophisticated soldiers in the country have been added to the expeditionary force, and their will to fight far exceeds the will to fight of the domestic troops.
So? Therefore, the combat effectiveness of the troops on the domestic battlefield has declined.
So are there any other difficulties? Among other things, in this battle, Chiang Kai-shek asked Stilwell to supply five hundred tons of gasoline to the defenders of Luoyang, and Stilwell did not care at all.
So yeah! Relying on others, then the whole thing is to run away from the mountain, and to rely on the house is to call a person collapse the house!
So next, let's see what the Battle of Yuxianggui will be like?
The whole war, if you want to say it all, in terms of the length of this article, you can't hold on at all, so let's pick a few key places and talk to the big guys.
Chiang Kai-shek shot two commanders.
The first one is Zhang Deneng, the commander of the Fourth Army, who is quite powerful, who studied in the Lecture Hall in Yunnan when he was young, started from the platoon leader after graduation, and was promoted all the way, and in this life, when he was promoted to the position of division commander, he could be said to be a standard soldier.
Then the German army led by Zhang Deneng is the Fourth Army, and if you look at his performance during the Northern Expedition, this is the First Iron Army.
You don't know that the performance of this iron army in the First Battle of Changsha, the Second Battle of Changsha, and the Third Battle of Changsha was not only good, but also excellent.
But in this battle of Yuxianggui, they guarded Changsha for more than ten days.
Why is that?
First of all, the Japanese army used a large number of air forces, tanks, and artillery to attack Changsha this time.
Based on the experience of the three defensive battles in Changsha, Zhang Deneng put his main force in the city and left the heavy artillery battalion, division headquarters and direct subordinate units to Yuelu Mountain.
Zhang Deneng wanted to use the old routine to deal with the Japanese with the new strategy, and it was obvious that he was about to rectify his anger, and the Japanese first used aircraft to bomb Yuelu Mountain, so that the artillery that had shown great power in the three battles of Changsha could not play any role.
Therefore, after the Japanese army took Yuelu Mountain, there was no threat of artillery, and soon occupied one-third of Changsha with superior troops.
At this point, Zhang Deneng realized that Zhao Zili, chief of staff of the Ninth Theater, was right to remind him that he should not put all the main forces in the city, but on Yuelu Mountain. So he wanted to reinforce Yuelu Mountain, after all, without Yuelu Mountain Changsha could not be defended.
Zhang Deneng left a regiment to garrison Changsha and ordered the dispatch of troops to Yuelu Mountain, but this process was not to say that the transfer could be transferred, because it was necessary to cross the river in the middle, and the order was too hasty, the dispatch was chaotic, and was discovered by the Japanese reconnaissance planes, the main force of the Fourth Army was blocked on the river and the shore, the Japanese artillery and aircraft machine guns swept over, and the Fourth Army suffered heavy casualties.
In the end, Chiang Kai-shek took the initiative to abandon changsha for leaving his post without authorization, and shot Zhang Deneng to death.
This incident is recorded in Chiang Kai-shek's diary, and Chiang Kai-shek believes that the honor of the Fourth Army for more than ten years is false and has no real name.
At a later Kuomintang political participation meeting, Chiang Kai-shek also expounded the reasons for shooting Zhang Deneng.
Let's not say what Chiang Kai-shek said? As far as this battle is concerned, Zhang De can do his best.
The troops of one army resisted the attack of the Japanese by several times the strength of the troops, and fought for more than ten days, and finally the whole army was only one-third of the troops left.
Although Zhang Deneng failed, he also delayed the Japanese plan to open up the Great Southwest, squeezing out time for the rear.
However, we also have to say that the Kuomintang army is really a bit uncoordinated in terms of command.
In a campaign, what incongruity means, you should understand.
The last was the execution of Chen Munong, commander of the Ninety-third Army.
Chen Mu Nong was the first batch of huangpu cadets, everyone knew that the first three phases of Whampoa were the time period of fierce generals, Chen Mu Nong began to fight the company commander, and actively cooperated with the Eighth Route Army in the Hundred Regiments War.
However, after Chen Mumin became a military commander, he became a bit corrupt and degenerate, and his Thirty-ninth Army entered the road to Guangxi again, not only disturbing the people, but also using military vehicles to engage in trade.
Okay, that's not all, let's move on.
Then, in this Battle of Yuxianggui, the Ninety-third Army was defending Jeonju, and Chen Munong patted his chest to ensure that he could defend for three months.
The result? Chen Mu Nong resisted for a day when the Japanese army attacked the Huangsha River, and two days later the Japanese army attacked and attacked Jeonju, and Chen Mu Nong fought for one night and withdrew.
Yes, withdrawn, you read that right, by the way he also burned all kinds of stored military supplies, of course, not enough to burn comprehensively, the rest left to the Japanese army.
Zhang Fakui, commander of the Fourth Theater at that time, was mad when he heard the news, and he wanted to deal with Chen Munong fiercely, so he telegraphed Chiang Kai-shek about this matter.
After Chen Munong ran out, he was detained by Zhang Fakui at the Guilin Defensive Headquarters.
What happened next was a bit confusing, the big guys first put the process together, and then the editor explained it to you.
One thing you can't think of, Chen Munong wrote a letter to Zhang Fakui, asking Zhang Fakui to explain to Chongqing that he wanted to save him.
What's the solution? It was this retreat that he agreed to by Chiang Kai-shek (there was no explicit order on paper, just a telephone call).
Looking at it is not a bit of a whole feeling of fork in the air.
Chen Munong's deputy commander also knew the contents of the letter and informed Chiang Kai-shek.
As a result, Chiang Kai-shek asked Zhang Fakui to execute Chen Munong as soon as possible, and eventually Chen Munong was shot.
So things say this, it is estimated that the small partner is confused after watching it, what does this mean?
Chiang Kai-shek was going to borrow a knife to kill people, and this knife guy could guess that it was the Japanese army, and this person was not Chen Mu Nong, but Bai Chongxi's Gui Jun.
Because after the fall of Jeonju, the Japanese army was going to attack Guilin next, and Chiang Kai-shek ordered the Gui army to hold Guilin for three months.
Of course, it's okay to stick to it, but you want to get a foreign aid! In this way, a counter-encirclement of the Japanese troops surrounding Guilin can be carried out, and it is not bad to blossom in the center! So this battle can be fought.
But the problem is that the main force of the Central Army in Guizhou can't come, so he can't stop it!
Bai Chongxi is a little Zhuge Ge, can he be fooled by this? Later, those who stuck in Guilin became two divisions, plus a defensive headquarters and a military headquarters, and one of the divisions was still a new recruit who had not been trained much.
The final result does not need to be said by the editor, the entire stubborn defender of Guilin has become a lone army, and the time when the city is broken is the time when the defensive forces perish.
Then, in the problem of breaking through the siege without breaking through, Bai Chongxi and Chiang Kai-shek fought for a while, until the city of Guilin was breached and fell, and Chiang Kai-shek's reply was sent.
At this point in time, the troops who were stuck in Guilin launched a breakthrough operation a day earlier.
In this battle, the two divisions of the Katsura clan can be said to have been completely destroyed, and the war report issued by Japan announced that there were more than 5,000 corpses of the defenders and more than 13,000 captured personnel.
Later, after the Japanese army surrendered, because of this incident, Chiang Kai-shek took the names of these two divisions and the superior departments of these two divisions, the Sixteenth Group Army and the Thirty-first Army, and also revoked the numbers, leaving a forty-sixth army, and this forty-sixth army was pulled by Chiang Kai-shek to Shandong to fight a civil war, and later it was gone.
So why say such a paragraph?
In fact, Xiaobian just wants to tell the big guys that during the War of Resistance, Chiang Kai-shek also had to manage everything in every detail, and the idea that the outside must be first and the inside has not changed.
If you want to fight the Japanese, can you do it without twisting into a rope? Before he could fight, he began to think about other things, and it was impossible to use one and a half million troops to fight even the Kwantung Army at sunset.
The Battle of Yuxianggui was the biggest defeat in the frontal battlefield after the Battle of Wuhan, and in less than a year, one hundred and forty-six cities and more than thirty airports fell.
After the end of the campaign, not to mention the public opinion in The country, even the Biggest Backer of the Kuomintang, the Americans, could not see it.
U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt telegraphed Chiang Kai-shek to give Stilwell command of all Chinese troops.
Is this also called a thing?
