After the Eighth Route Army captured the Japanese boots, no one dared to wear them, and the reason was heartbreaking
During the War of Resistance Against Japan, the Eighth Route Army was seriously short of materials, the soldiers did not even have a decent pair of shoes, in order to save costs, the soldiers wore straw shoes when marching and fighting, but in the winter grass shoes could not keep warm at all, plus the soldiers sometimes had to walk for several days and nights in a row, so it was easy to be injured when wearing grass shoes, but despite this, even if the soldiers captured the Japanese boots, they resolutely did not dare to wear them.
In the war, the soldiers captured materials will actually be distributed to them, but the Japanese boots are not cared for, because the soldiers really can't wear, we all know that the Japanese army is relatively short, so their feet are very small, their boots are too small for the soldiers, if you barely wear it, your feet will hurt and you can't walk.
At that time, the war was very fierce, if the soldiers were easy to lose their lives because of foot pain when they were distracted when they were marching to fight, then it was not worth the loss, so the soldiers preferred to wear straw shoes rather than wear Japanese military boots, even if some of the sizes in the military boots were suitable, the soldiers were not willing to wear, because the military boots were very heavy, it was very difficult to wear and walk, the Japanese army marched with cars, but our soldiers could only rely on walking.
If the soldiers marched to fight in bulky boots, then not only would the speed become slower, but the efficiency would also be reduced, because the difference between our strength and the Japanese army was very large, so we could not bear any losses at all, and the soldiers would rather march and fight in grass shoes under difficult conditions than risk wearing military boots, because the price paid once the battle was too heavy.
