In many anti-Japanese film and television works, such a scene often appears, in the final stage of a battle, both sides jumped out of the trenches and began to carry out white-knife warfare, then the "superiority" of our army was brought into play, probably because of the blessing of "martial arts", our army's soldiers can usually be an enemy, the little devils are not opponents at all, every time at this stage, they can often kill the devils without leaving a piece of armor or a big defeat.
On the real battlefield, the situation is just the opposite, in the early stage of the War of Resistance, the level of white-knife warfare of the Japanese army was almost invincible in the world, and few countries in World War II defeated the Japanese army in the fight.
Even if the physical fitness is far stronger than the Japanese Army, in the "ZhangGufeng Incident" in the white-knife battle in 1938, the Soviet casualties were 110, the Japanese casualties were 4, although the data may be watery, but the Japanese army is stronger than the Soviet army is an indisputable fact. The terrifying strength of the Japanese army's white-knife warfare made the Russians, who are known as the fighting nation, have no choice but to bow to the wind.
With the physical qualities of Chinese at that time, he could not take advantage of the white-knife battle with the Japanese army.
The reasons for the weakness of our army and the Japanese army in the white-knife war are manifold.
1. The Three-Zero bayonet equipped by the Japanese army is one of the best bayonets in the world, while the quality of our army's bayonets is uneven, and the quality is far behind that of the Japanese army. There are also many armies that do not even have bayonets, but can only be equipped with large knives or spears.
The large knife danced up and down on the battlefield, looking brave and unusual, but compared with the bayonet, it was not practical at all, and it was not a opponent of the bayonet at all, because the "one inch long and one inch strong" 38 rifle plus the bayonet had 1.65 meters, which was completely superior when fighting the stab.
As for the spear, it is stronger than the bayonet in the white-knife battle, and the Eighth Route Army used the red tassel gun to make the Japanese army suffer a big loss in the Shentouling ambush battle, so that the Japanese army was full of fear for this kind of "big sword", but the spear and the red tassel gun were just helpless moves, the rifle could not be done with one hand, if each person had a rifle, it would no longer carry a red tassel gun, which was inconvenient.
2. The physical fitness of our army is not as good as that of the Japanese army, although the average height of the Japanese army invading China is only about 1.5 meters, but their nutritional level is good, and it is good to eat well. And the mainland is in a series of years of war, even if there is no war, the people are only struggling on the subsistence line, let alone in the war period, although the height is higher than the Japanese army, but generally malnourished, yellow muscles, lack of muscle mass, how to exert force to defeat the enemy.
3. Our army's stabbing technique is inferior to that of the Japanese army. The early Japanese army invading China was strictly trained, and the stabbing was an important subject of their training, they had to go through at least 1 year of training, and the practice action was also very simple, only three actions to stab, block, dial three actions, seemingly simple, but the Japanese army in the long-term strict training has turned these three actions into muscle memory, played on the battlefield, very powerful.
4. Psychological factors. In "Soldier Assault", the soldier king Xu Sanduo killed a drug dealer in a close-quarters fight and fell into depression, so on the battlefield, the first thing to pass is the psychological barrier. The cruelty of the close bayonet is much higher than that of long-distance shooting, and many recruits are well trained, but it is difficult to play on the battlefield.
Many of the recruits in the War of Resistance Were Dragged into the Battlefield after hastily trained, and their psychological quality could not be compared with that of the Japanese army after a long battle.
In the late period of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, many soldiers of our army became veterans, and due to the attrition of the battle, the Japanese army was replenished with new recruits, and the situation on the battlefield was reversed.
Of course, what I am talking about above is the comparison between the overall level of white-knife warfare between the Japanese army and our army, and of course our army has also won the battle of the Japanese army. For example, our old man Lü Junsheng in Xingtai, in the battle with the Japanese army in Xiajin, Shandong, one person stabbed 27 Japanese troops to death, this is still the Japanese army in 1938, of course, this is also related to the physical fitness and technology of the old man, the old man is 1.92 meters tall, standing in the Japanese army is a giant.
In the Battle of Taierzhuang, there was a 500-man martial arts brigade under the 110th Division, which was a red gun society in Henan, which evolved from the Boxers, all of them practiced martial arts, most of them were more than 10 years old, they were equipped with spears and large knives, and some short knives. In a battle, rushing into the Japanese position, the Japanese army originally did not pay attention to it, because the previous white-knife battles have not been lost, but this time a contact will not feel right, this group of Chinese soldiers brave and abnormal, can not fight at all, and finally this group of Japanese troops was almost completely annihilated.
However, these are individual cases, in general, in the early days of the War of Resistance, we could not defeat the Japanese army in the white-knife war, which is a mistake in many film and television dramas.
One of the veterans of the Eighth Route Army who had once gone to the Shaolin Temple to learn martial arts recalled that the Japanese assassination techniques were very powerful, ordinary people were not opponents at all, although he was a teenager learning martial arts, but the first time he fought with the devils to fight the bayonet, the devils were a block, his gun was picked up, fortunately he practiced martial arts, deliberately exposed the stomach gap, let the devils stab in, and grabbed the devils' bayonets with their hands, resulting in the other side. If he hadn't practiced martial arts, the consequences could be imagined.
Due to the shortage of combat materials, the Eighth Route Army attached great importance to white-knife warfare, and later adopted japanese assassination techniques for training, and surpassed the Japanese army, gradually embarking on the peak of light infantry, and by the time of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, the level of white-knife warfare of the volunteer army was already invincible in the world.
