Why did the Japanese army dare not carry out massacres in Guangxi and had to use aircraft to blow them up?
Because the guangxi people rose up, the Japanese devils were also afraid.
Ordinary people dared to take kitchen knives against the Japanese army, not to mention the regular troops.
The Japanese launched ground attacks on Guangxi in 1939 and 1944, but both were seriously hampered.
The folk customs of Guangxi have been fierce since ancient times, and the wolf soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were known for their toughness and combat effectiveness, and the Taiping Rebellion also originated here.
During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Guangxi, which had a population of just over 10 million at that time, sent more than 1 million troops to major battlefields across the country, of which the Gui Army was also a very difficult bone for the Japanese army to gnaw.
At that time, many militia organizations in Guangxi were very united, united in resisting Japan, and their combat effectiveness was also strong, and many people preferred to die rather than surrender, unwilling to be traitors, and they would retaliate against the Japanese army and constantly harass them desperately.
The Japanese attack on Guangxi almost failed to occupy a city and village for more than 3 months, because everyone in Guangxi was resisting.
There is a small island in the northwest of Guangxi, 1.8 square kilometers, less than 100 households, every three families sell a musket together, and actually killed several Japanese soldiers.
A few young men in Binyang stole all the horses of a Japanese cavalry squad.
In a village in Jeonju, thousands of people in the village used fire hammers and agricultural tools to sneak up on the Japanese at night, and actually grabbed a heavy machine gun and eliminated a dozen Japanese soldiers.
Tens of thousands of citizens of Beihai City secretly organized a riot in order to avenge the 200 citizens slaughtered by the Japanese army.
With the cooperation of two Taiwanese interpreters, riots simultaneously at night eliminated more than a dozen sentries standing guard, seized Japanese radio stations and armory, and wiped out a squadron of 120 Japanese troops with sticks and large knives.
Therefore, in view of this, when the Japanese army attacked Guangxi on the ground, they did not dare to carry out massacres, and they were also afraid of the continuous resistance and sneak attacks from the people of Guangxi.
Guilin was the capital of Guangxi at that time, and in order to destroy the anti-Japanese will of the people of Guilin, the Japanese army sent a large number of aircraft to blow up.
According to statistics, before the fall of Guilin, the Japanese army carried out 51 indiscriminate bombings, but the people of Guilin did not choose to give in.
The song of the War of Resistance was continuous, and people took refuge in the nearby caves, and cave hospitals and cave schools appeared, forming a unique cave culture.
Guilin landscape and water are under the heavens, and the will of the people of Guilin to resist the war is not bad at all!
