On the battlefield, weapons are a person's amulets, and with weapons you have the hope of surviving. We all know that during the War of Resistance Against Japan, our army's weapons and equipment were very backward, and although our army mainly focused on fighting guerrillas, the backwardness of our weapons still made us suffer a lot of losses. We often see fighters in TV dramas picking up Weapons and Ammunition from the Japanese Army after winning the battle, but this was not the case at that time. So why is that? A veteran of the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression tearfully told the truth.
In fact, when we were fighting against the War of Resistance, our army still had a powerful arsenal, and all this must start with Zhang Zuolin. We all know that it is precisely because Zhang Zuolin did not fall into the hands of the Japanese. This was done because Zhang Zuolin's arsenal strength at that time was very strong. The weapons made are also very advanced. Once the Japanese wanted to open a coal mine in the northeast, but Zhang Zuolin firmly disagreed. Therefore, the Japanese want to pull out Zhang Zuolin, a thorn in his eye. The Japanese planted explosives on the line of the train where Zhang Zuolin was riding. In this way, Zhang Zuolin passed away.
After Zhang Zuolin's death, the resources of the northeast were frantically plundered by the Japanese, not only natural resources, but also the arsenal founded by Zhang Zuolin before his death was also occupied by the Japanese. After that, our army's ammunition was undersupplied. This made the soldiers on the front line feel desperate. Soldiers can only save bullets, and at that time, after the enemy's retreat or after the great defeat, some bullets will be left on the battlefield, but our army will never easily pick up these ammunition.
The reason is actually very simple, the Japanese know that we are short of ammunition, they are very cunning and cruel, sometimes they pretend to retreat, and then leave very little ammunition, in this battlefield they will plant a lot of mines. As long as our army comes forward to pick up weapons, it will be killed. There are also some defeated remnants who will pretend to be dead when you go to search for ammunition, and they will use suicide attacks to kill the soldiers.
But with such a shortage of ammunition, we cannot afford not to pick it up. Therefore, experienced veterans will be very careful to pick up ammunition, and these veterans will observe the situation of the Japanese army. If the Japanese fled in a hurry and there was a move to pack their equipment, the veterans would be careful to pick up ammunition. But if the Japanese retreated very slowly, and looked around, their veterans would basically not go up to pick up ammunition. These veterans really paid a lot, even their lives, for the independence of the country. Hopefully, the veterans who are still alive will enjoy their old age in peace.
