At the end of World War II, in order to resist the strong superiority of the American army and save its defeat, the Japanese militarists took advantage of the japanese fanatical Bushido spirit and launched a suicide attack on the American ship formation in accordance with the requirements of "one person, one machine, one bullet for one ship", and they called this death squad a kamikaze special attack team.
In fact, there is an allusion to the fact that in 1274 and 1281, Kublai Khan of the Yuan Dynasty launched two crusades against Japan, but the huge Yuan Dynasty fleet twice caused heavy losses due to sudden typhoons at sea, so it abandoned the plan to march into Japan, thus escaping the possibility of being destroyed.
The Japanese believe that this is the "kamikaze" set off by the ghost of Emperor Shenwu to repel the Yuan army, and there is the origin of the later allusions, the origin of China and Japan has a long history, this is also the only experience of taking the initiative to attack Japan from China, in a traditional sense, the essence of the Yuan is still a nomadic people dominated by conquest, not the central plains dynasty under the real system.
In the history of thousands of years, Japan dared to invade China many times, in 649 Tang Gaozong period, Japan in the study of Tang culture, after the great reform, the national strength has been strongly improved, so began to support the Korean Peninsula and tang hostile Baekje state, the Japanese navy 40,000 people encountered the Tang army at the mouth of the Baekgang River, was killed and returned. During the Ming Dynasty, Japan also supported the coastal Wokou to invade our country, and sent troops to invade the suzerainty of Korea, which was defeated by the Ming army, and in China's modern history, starting from the Battle of Jiawu, it was eyeing our territory.
So some people will ask, why has China never taken the initiative to attack? In addition to the decline of the qing dynasty in modern times, the strength of the Ming Dynasty of the Tang Dynasty is far stronger than that of Japan, of course, this is not the peace-loving of the Central Plains Dynasty, they are also the regime that came out of the bloody battle, and liu Bowen, the founding father of the Ming Dynasty, gave the answer earlier.
At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang did not have long to unify the country, and he was eager to restore the glory of the Tang Dynasty, while going north to clear the remaining Yuan Dynasty forces, and on the other hand, he sent envoys to Japan, hoping that they could submit to the Ming Dynasty.
However, more than a hundred years after Kublai Khan's eastern expedition to Japan, the Japanese shogunate still had a hostile attitude toward the Central Plains, and the angels sent by Zhu Yuanzhang had a more arrogant attitude, saying some words such as "if you do not surrender, you will destroy the country", which made the Japanese shogun very angry and directly took it down and killed it.
Zhu Yuanzhang was very angry when he heard this news, and wanted to lead a large army to conquer Japan, but the military master Liu Bowen stopped him, and Liu said three reasons for not using force against Japan: The first is the inconvenience of transportation, Japan and China have no land connection, the terrain is complicated, and it takes a lot of manpower and material resources to conquer it, even if it is defeated, it also requires troops to be stationed, which is very inconvenient.
The second point is the issue of Japan's indoctrination, although Japan's civilization and the Central Plains have developed a long history, there are many close places, but they have also cultivated a unique local culture similar to Shintoism, which is difficult to govern.
The third and most important point is that Japan's land resources are relatively poor, and there are not many benefits to be obtained, and it is not cost-effective to occupy an island country with frequent disasters. This is basically the reason why successive dynasties and dynasties of China have not taken the initiative to attack Japan.
