Xue Yue could resist the Japanese, why couldn't he defend Hainan Island? Big brother, you laughed, these two things are done by one person, and both are defensive, but is there a comparison?
One is a civil war, one is a foreign war; one is the unity of the military and the people, and the other is the two unrelated to the military and the people; so, this is just like Sun Monkey, the front foot is making a big fuss in the sky, and if you want to make a fuss, you can make a fuss, and when the back foot touches Rulai, you can't even escape the palm of the Buddha' hand.
Of course, if you want to continue to understand the actual situation, then we will break this matter.
Three attacks on Changsha
We have to stretch the timeline of this matter, first talk about the Japanese side of the matter, otherwise it is not all said.
It is said that since the Meiji Restoration, the Japanese have also grown up the national strength, taken Ryukyu, conquered the Korean Peninsula, fought a Sino-Japanese Naval Battle with the corrupt Qing government and won it, and the small heart directly expanded into ambition.
Later, I fought with the Russians and the Germans, and I made a lot of money cheaply.
After that, in the First World War, Russia was gone, and a Soviet Union was stood up, and the European gang saw that the Soviet Union was annoying, and when the Soviet Union was still very weak, they directly sent troops to intervene in the Soviet Union's civil war.
The Japanese did not miss this great opportunity, and they themselves took out 100,000 soldiers, and 900 million yen also participated in this hunt, resulting in the death of 3,000 people, and Mao did not fish.
But this ambition was not less at all, and when he turned back, he invaded the northeast and pulled Puyi to establish a puppet regime. Turning back, he stepped forward step by step, an all-out war of aggression against China.
But we can't do it, at that time we were also chaotic, right? Warlords all over the country, military leaders are everywhere, Chiang Kai-shek is busy with the outside world must first be inside, foreign war he can not twist a rope.
Of course, there are also reasons why the Japanese are strong and strong, after all, how many years have they been recuperating, and Japan is waiting for this?
So in this process, the Japanese did those things, that is called a heavenly anger.
Walk that burned to that, walked that and killed that, the old man and the woman did not let go, even a little doll saw it to be stabbed to death, and later created the Nanjing Massacre.
The Japanese thought very well, he wanted to use the deterrent power of this kind of war, not to let go of the slaughter of grass and trees, to intimidate the Chinese, so that the Chinese surrender.
So what about Chinese reaction? The Japanese abacus is a smashing pot.
Although the Japanese were on the battlefield, they still made progress step by step, turning most of China into occupied areas.
But the clear-eyed people can see that the losses of the Japanese on the Chinese battlefield are also getting bigger and bigger, and even let China fight several beautiful counterattacks in the whole process, such as the bloody battle of Taierzhuang, the great victory of Wanjialing and so on.
Although the number is not much, it is better to have bright spots than to have no bright spots, at least to break the myth of the invincibility of the imperial army.
By the time of the Battle of Wuhan, the Japanese casualties had reached 257,000.
Originally, the Japanese were an island country, and in order to prepare for this all-out invasion of China, the soldiers were among the top of the list, and this kind of casualty was unbearable for the Japanese, which directly led to the shortage of strategic offensive troops of the Japanese.
List a set of data for you to experience.
At the Battle of Wuhan, the Japanese gathered 300,000 troops. The first Battle of Changsha was a little more than 100,000, and by the second Battle of Changsha was a little more than 120,000, and the Third Battle of Changsha became a little more than 60,000.
Does it taste good?
The more the whole thing goes back, which is why the Battle of Wuhan was a turning point in the War of Resistance Against Japan and a reason why the War of Resistance Against Japan entered the stage of confrontation between the two sides.
The Japanese really couldn't move, and they ran out of funds for the war of aggression against China. Let's not say that before the war, the Japanese prepared more than four billion yen, and at this point, the foreign exchange was left with twenty thousand marks.
Therefore, Japan, as the attacking party, in the Battle of Changsha, can be said to be the end of the crossbow, and like the grasshoppers after the autumn, they can only bounce for a few days.
Speaking of this, it is estimated that some friends have to say: "Then why did the Japanese launch the Pacific War and sneak attack the Americans' Pearl Harbor?" ”
You're talking about another topic, so let's explain it a little bit.
When the Japanese invaded China, he squeezed out the most elite part of the country's strength and threw it into the war.
Even the recruitment divides people into four levels, and people recruit first-class soldiers.
When fighting the Pacific War, the Japanese squeezed out all the scum of the whole country, and as long as they could run and jump, they all beckoned them in.
Therefore, it seems that the Japanese soldiers began to be abundant, which is why at the time of the Fourth Battle of Changsha, the Japanese gathered 360,000 troops to attack our 300,000 defenders.
Of course, in the Fourth Battle of Changsha, we lost, but we lost, and the Japanese could not continue to go south, which is a fact, and the Japanese attacked China's big campaign basically unheard of.
Well, we have analyzed the Japanese almost the same, and the big guys know that the Battle of Changsha will be the end of the crossbow, and the final struggle will be carried out.
On the other hand, let's take another look at the Chinese army.
First of all, China's military and people were beaten by the Japanese and united, not many people are willing to be slaves to the country, of course, here does not include the big traitor Wang Jingwei and other figures, what curve to save the country, said better than the song, as far as possible to paint gold on their faces.
As a major general, nicknamed Tiger Boy, Xue Yue joined the League very early, followed Dr. Sun Yat-sen to participate in the Northern Expedition, and later became an important general of the Kuomintang.
After the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japan, Xue Yue also took the initiative to ask for help, which was also a great achievement.
The most brilliant of all, he fought two battles, one was the Great Victory of Wanjialing, and the other was the Battle of Changsha.
The Great Victory of Wanjialing was a peripheral battle in the Battle of Wuhan, and it was a strategic counteroffensive launched by our Chinese army against the Japanese army in the Wuhan area.
Because at this point in time, China has been forced to the end of the road, the people evacuated from the occupied areas, materials, all kinds of equipment have gathered in Wuhan, if this can not withstand the Japanese attack, these things will all be destroyed in Wuhan, then it will be more difficult to survive a long period of confrontation in the future.
So this battle, you don't look at the battle named after Wuhan, his battlefield expanded to Anhui, Henan, Jiangxi, Hubei is a provincial region.
At that time, Xue Yue was the commander-in-chief of the First Corps, commanding the defense work along the Nanxun Railway Line and panyang Lake.
In the following Victory at Wanjialing, Xue Yue sent 100,000 soldiers, and after ten days and ten nights of fighting, annihilated four Japanese companies, and fifteen thousand Japanese were reimbursed, for which Chiang Kai-shek rewarded each soldier who participated in the battle with 50,000 yuan.
The Battle of Wuhan, the completion of our strategic task, pulled away all the things that gathered in Wuhan, which took the initiative to withdraw from Wuhan, and the Battle of Wuhan ended.
After the end of this battle, Changsha became the next place where the two sides were glued, so because of Xue Yue's outstanding performance in the Battle of Wuhan, Chiang Kai-shek appointed Xue Yue as the commander of the Ninth Theater, and also served as the chairman of Hunan Province and the chairman of the province.
The military and government integration was all pressed on Xue Yue's body, and Xue Yue's burden was not easy at all.
No, the Japanese took a breath, eased up, and gathered a hundred thousand people with more than a hundred aircraft and more than three hundred warships, which divided into six roads to attack Changsha.
Seeing that there were only 100,000 people in total, he divided into six roads.
Speaking of which, we'll have to insert a short paragraph.
What's the content? The First Battle of Changsha took place after the Japanese lost the Battle of Nomonkan with the Soviets, so the First Battle of Changsha, more like the Japanese lost, had to find a punching bag to vent and give themselves a blowdown of morale.
For this battle, Xue Yue's self-confidence was quite strong, but chiang kai-shek, as the leader of the Kuomintang, did not intend to defend Changsha and retreated to Shonan to resist.
Why? Chiang Kai-shek's military ability is there, but everyone can see it. This time, Xue Yue withstood the pressure and persuaded Chiang Kai-shek that Changsha would have to stick to it.
In fact, in this battle, there were not many Japanese soldiers who attacked, and the entire army and the people were united in their hearts, and killing the Japanese basically became a big goal of the consensus of the whole people.
The yu wei of the Battle of Wuhan is still there, at least in Chinese's mind, as long as he fights the Japanese fiercely, even if he loses, he can tear off a piece of his flesh, as long as he seizes the opportunity to tear it, the Japanese are not horses, not camels, no matter how fat, there will always be times when they are torn through.
The last one is that the tactics are appropriate, attacking the other's weaknesses with one's own strengths, not confronting the enemy hard, luring the enemy deeper, retreating and fighting a decisive battle, a heavenly furnace tactic, which is even if the Japanese are boiled into the furnace and burned vigorously.
Let's talk about the final result, according to Chiang Kai-shek: "In this campaign in northern Hunan Province, more than half of the enemy was annihilated... The whole country is excited, the commander is good, and the soldiers use their lives. ”
In the end, 150,000 yuan was rewarded for each soldier who participated in the battle (this was the first Battle of Changsha)
When the Second Battle of Changsha was held for a year, the Soviet-German War broke out in the middle, and the Japanese also gathered 120,000 Japanese with the anger of the First Battle of Changsha and launched the Second Battle of Changsha.
It was still the old wine that put a new pot, and the old method of warfare and the heavenly furnace method of warfare put the Japanese into it, this time killing forty thousand enemies.
After two months of suspension, the Japanese launched the Third Battle of Changsha, and this time the Japanese came out tired, and 60,000 troops rushed up and suffered more than 50,000 casualties.
In the end, Okamura Ningji did not know where the pestle said such a sentence: "It is easy to shake the mountain, it is difficult to shake General Xue!" ”
In fact, in the whole process, the strength of the Japanese from the Battle of Songhu, began to decline, although it seems to be rapid, but his casualties are constantly increasing, and finally the Battle of Wuhan became the last straw that crushed his offensive momentum.
The Japanese squandered their last bit of foreign exchange reserves and launched a sneak attack on Pearl Harbor before launching the Third Battle of Changsha.
The dilemma of the Japanese can be seen, and the Chinese soldiers are also learning about war in the war, they are originally weak soldiers, and the more veterans fight, the more they know what it means to fight.
Between one drop and one liter, the Japanese are not a little overwhelmed.
In fact, if the Japanese have a little bit of strength, do you think he will not continue to fight? Isn't there anything wrong with him to mess with the Americans?
Then when it came time for Xue Yue to defend Hainan Island, although Xue Yue was also defensive, the situation was completely different.
The article of the unity of the military and the people is in the hands of the People's Liberation Army, and Xue Yue does not occupy this article. The Kuomintang was panicked, and since the beginning of the Liberation War, they have been seen running away, and you have basically not seen them win several battles.
Without further ado, let's just say that during the Liberation War, the front foot was still a Kuomintang soldier, and after not many days of being captured, the whole soldier's appearance was completely renewed.
Crouching where the Kuomintang can not show their heads and shoot, they will all hide in the trenches and shoot at the sky, and when they become the People's Liberation Army, one by one they will become small tigers, all squeezing forward, and the bullets will not be afraid to hit them head-on.
Later in the Battle of Huaihai, it was obvious that Chiang Kai-shek had the advantage, whether it was the number of people or weapons and equipment, the People's Liberation Army was still a little unclear about the outcome of the war when fighting this battle.
As a result, once the war began, the PLA did not have to worry about logistics at all, and there were more ordinary people who went to the battlefield to transport materials to the PLA than the PLA.
Some ordinary people, the shoes are broken, obviously there are shoes in the materials they transport, they are not willing to wear, they have to push the materials up barefoot, it is a big winter!
Therefore, it is clear at a glance whether the Kuomintang and the People's Liberation Army are high or low, and there is no need to do much to break this matter.
In the history of war for more than a hundred years, the Chinese people want to live a stable life in their hearts, who can understand.
So the time and place are favorable, the Kuomintang, which one do you estimate he occupies? What a will the people want!
Under this general trend, Xue Yue's undefeated has no reason to speak of!
Besides, Xue Yue's defense of Hainan Island is an isolated island for him, and if he can't win a battle, as far as the few chess pieces in his hand are concerned, he wants to get foreign aid, don't think about it, Chiang Kai-shek is trapped in the small bend and has no reinforcements, where can he take care of Hainan Island.
As far as the morale of the Kuomintang was concerned, even if Xue Yue had a stubborn heart, whether the Kuomintang soldiers had this or not, after all, in the previous battles, the Kuomintang soldiers were almost all beaten to the skin, and morale was a problem.
So in the end, the Battle of Hainan Island ushered in the result, Xue Yue was defeated and retreated and returned to Taiwan with tens of thousands of people.
Of course this is a military matter.
If you look at Xue Yue again, his personality is more direct, after all, talented people are always like this.
And Chiang Kai-shek's least favorite thing is the person who disobeys himself, Xue Yue's battle achievements are outstanding, but Chiang Kai-shek does not like it, which will eventually lead to Xue Yue being excluded from the Kuomintang, which is also an inevitable result.
Therefore, this is history and the people's choice of the People's Liberation Army, and this result cannot be reversed by Xue Yue.
In fact, if the Korean War could break out later, why wouldn't the little bend be in the bag?
Looking at the Liberation War, it is not difficult for you to find that the Kuomintang generals always had a circle of outsiders and civil war laymen.
