When it comes to Japan, the first thing that many Chinese people think of is probably the War of Resistance Against Japan, which is of great significance to the development of modern China, and if we had not won this war, it is difficult to imagine what China would become now. At that time, in order to obtain more resources for development, Japan chose to invade the weak China.
In fact, in a strict sense, Japan's covetousness for China is not since the beginning of modern times, there are many records of Japanese attacks on China in the history before the Qing Dynasty, but Japan at that time was too weak, and they simply did not have enough strength to defeat the powerful China.
The elated Japanese invasion of China
Later, because of China's closed country and the government's incompetence, Japan finally waited for the best time to attack China, on September 18, 1931, Japan launched the "918 Incident" and officially launched an invasion of China.

Due to the policy of non-resistance adopted by the authorities when the Japanese invaded, the Japanese army successfully occupied the three eastern provinces in many hours. After resting in the three eastern provinces, the Japanese army began to attack the important major cities in the country, and planned to occupy all of China within three months.

At the same time as the Japanese army was attacking vigorously, the provinces also organized anti-Japanese troops, and the soldiers of these troops caused a lot of trouble to the Japanese army when their equipment was completely behind the enemy. It is precisely because of this that the Japanese army even used weapons such as poison gas bombs in the process of combat.

The Japanese army is hard to read
In the face of a brutal enemy, the losses and casualties of the Chinese army were very heavy. Although in the end our army successfully destroyed Japan's plan to occupy China within three months, it was not as strong as the enemy, so many cities eventually fell into the hands of the Japanese army. After the Japanese army occupied these cities, it committed heinous crimes against the people in the cities.
Under the influence of relevant policies, the Japanese would arrest villagers everywhere after entering the town, and then concentrate them on an open place. Since the villagers had no weapons in their hands, the Japanese only needed a small number of soldiers to control all the villagers, and then the remaining Japanese troops would go and loot the resources in the town.

It is also worth mentioning that with the passage of time, the Japanese army began to become impetuous and decadent, in order to motivate the Japanese soldiers, the officers also "created" a series of ornamental programs, they will push the Chinese villagers together to bury alive, watching the people struggling in the pit, the Japanese perverted heart is also well satisfied.

brief summary
All in all, the real history of the Japanese invasion of China was very bloody and cruel, and the Japanese army had undergone systematic training, and its combat effectiveness was very strong. In order to highlight the strength of the protagonists, many anti-Japanese dramas have actually weakened the Japanese army, which is undoubtedly a kind of disrespect for history and anti-Japanese martyrs.
Stills from the anti-Japanese god drama
The victory of the War of Resistance Against Japan depended on the joint efforts of all the revolutionary ancestors and ordinary people. At that time, China lost countless resources at the cost of tens of millions of casualties to successfully drive the Japanese army out of China. They are all heroes of China and should not be affected by the anti-Japanese drama, so that the audience feels that the war of resistance against Japan does not seem to be difficult.
