Hello everyone, I'm Pingu. Recently watched a video on the Internet, the bottom of the discussion is a lot, the fruits of the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japan, in the end, who should be obtained? Today we will discuss it.
In the previous official textbooks, the language, history and other textbooks on the War of Resistance were mainly about the deeds of the New Fourth Army under the leadership of the Communist Party in the battlefield behind enemy lines in the War of Resistance Against Japan, while there were very few records of the so-called frontal resistance of the Kuomintang army. With the increase in the country's openness and the dilution of political ideology, people began to objectively view the history of the War of Resistance Against Japan. With the broadcast of film and television dramas about the Kuomintang Army's War of Resistance in recent years, more and more people have learned about the heroic deeds of the Chinese Communist Cooperation in the War of Resistance Against Japan. This would have been a good thing, but some of the landlords and foreign reactionaries left over from history began to spread rumors and make trouble, touting the Kuomintang and slandering the Communist Party. The reasons they tout are ridiculous.

They believed that the "series" of victories of the Kuomintang army in the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, such as the Great Victory of Taierzhuang, the Great Victory of Wanjialing, and the Great Victory of Changsha, created victory in the War of Resistance Against Japan. Even more good people used the number of Kuomintang troops to resist the Japanese to denigrate the merits of the Communist Party as the main force of the War of Resistance in the middle and late period of the War of Resistance, and declared that the Kuomintang was the great hero of the War of Resistance.
They find it unconvincing to rely on a single mouth or a keyboard, and simply take out the data to compare. The Communist-led Eighth Route Army's New Fourth Army wiped out more than 520,000 Japanese troops in tens of thousands of battles in the eight years of the War of Resistance, while the so-called "frontal battlefield" of the Kuomintang army eliminated more than 700,000 Japanese troops; The New Fourth Army of the Eighth Route Army, with the exception of the Pingxingguan and the Hundred Regiments War, was all guerrilla warfare, and all of them were providing assistance to the "frontal battlefield" of the Kuomintang army, which was as "brilliant" as the victories of the Kuomintang army in "a series" of battles! Moreover, the number of deaths in the Kuomintang army's War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression far exceeded that of the Chinese Communist army, and this is not a "fact"?
It is indeed indeed irrefutable from the data alone that the "sacrifice" of the Kuomintang army is so great. However, to comment on history, it is necessary to judge it from the perspective of the social environment and class consciousness of the time.
If you know the time of these so-called great victories, you will have a kind of enlightenment in your heart. Most of the so-called great victories of the Kuomintang took place in the early days of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, arranged according to time and place, and it is not difficult to find that these are two routes: one from north to south, one from east to west, and finally summarized in the southwest region of China. At this time, if you have a map, make a mark, and combine the situation at that time, you will find that these so-called great victories were "created" by the Kuomintang army in a rout along the way. They have neither turned the tide of the war nor produced much strategic significance. The only point may be to delay the escape of the Nationalist army.
At this time, some of the big gods who thought that everyone was drunk and awake began to be unhappy, and the Kuomintang army really caused a large number of casualties to the Japanese army in the frontal battlefield. This is not urgent, let's look down.
At that time, the four major families of the Republic of China, Jiang Song Kong Chen, their wealth was mainly concentrated in the Ninghu area, and the wealth of other military and political leaders of the Kuomintang was concentrated in the Beijing-Tianjin and Ninghu areas, and if they wanted to move away, it would definitely take a certain amount of time, and the Kuomintang army at that time was a government army, and as a regular army, itself had the responsibility of defending the family and defending the country. Moreover, at the beginning of the War of Resistance Against Japan, the people's anti-Japanese sentiment was high, and they demanded that the Kuomintang army send troops to drive the invaders out of the country, at this time, as a government army, the Kuomintang army always had to fight several battles to appease the people, and incidentally to win time to carry wealth. The Taierzhuang Victory we are familiar with was played at this time. Taierzhuang was the gateway to Xuzhou, so Li Zongren of the Xuzhou Theater gathered more than 400,000 Kuomintang troops and more than 20,000 Japanese troops in this bloody battle, paid a heavy price and won the victory of killing and wounding more than 10,000 enemies, and then began to brag about the Kuomintang's achievements in the War of Resistance, but who can see the battle loss ratio behind it, and the Kuomintang troops at that time were equipped with American weapons.
Later, after the Japanese army gathered its forces, it made a comeback, captured Taierzhuang and directly attacked Xuzhou, and the Kuomintang army abandoned the military and political organs and fled south of Xuzhou, which was basically emptied. At this time, it was only a month before the great victory of Taierzhuang, and this was not just a month to escape in addition to increasing the number of enemy casualties? Moreover, in the rout and escape, in order to get rid of the pursuit of the Japanese army, they actually blew up the yellow river embankment to hinder the pursuing troops with the water of the mouth. After the Kuomintang army fled, it was left with large areas of submerged land and millions of people forced to become refugees, which was brazenly called the "Yellow River Strategy" .
The Kuomintang bombed the Yellow River embankment
When the Kuomintang army collapsed and fled to the southwest, Chiang Kai-shek made Chongqing the temporary capital. At this time, the Kuomintang army had no way to retreat, and if it fled, it could only be reduced to a fugitive government. At this time, the Kuomintang began a resolute war of resistance on the frontal battlefield, and won several victories by virtue of the favorable timing and location and the desperate resistance of the patriotic officers below. The Japanese army could not do anything in the face of the steep terrain of Yunguichuan and the excessively long battle line. Some short-sighted people, on the other hand, attribute these glories to Chiang Kai-shek, who was bent on "taking care of the outside world before inside." Putting aside the interests of the state, we only have the interests of the big bourgeoisie class in mind.
At this time, the New Fourth Army of the Eighth Route Army under the leadership of the Communist Party continued to open up battlefields behind enemy lines, conducted mobile warfare and guerrilla warfare, established and expanded base areas and guerrilla zones, and broke the enemy's plot to "consolidate the rear and feed the war with war." The Japanese invading army was forced to stop its attack on the frontal battlefield of the Kuomintang army and instead went all out to eliminate the New Fourth Army of the Eighth Route Army, and the War of Resistance entered a stage of stalemate. According to some data, the Japanese army used more than two-thirds of the troops in Guannei to deal with the New Fourth Army of the Eighth Route Army, and if it was calculated according to the 1.5 million at the time of the Surrender of the Japanese Army, the Japanese army used more than one million troops and almost all the puppet army (there were also 16.7 million) to deal with the New Fourth Army of the Eighth Route Army, while only more than 400,000 were used to confront the Kuomintang army of nearly 4 million. Can the Kuomintang army not dare to take the initiative to attack and shrink in the southwest and watch the New Fourth Army of the Eighth Route Army fight hard behind enemy lines without any positive action? Of course, at this time, there will always be some small people who jump out and say that history is written by the victors. Then we have nothing to do, because you can't wake up a person who pretends to be asleep.
Turning to the number of casualties of the two armies during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, some people compare the casualties of the Kuomintang army with the number of casualties of the Communist army to prove that the merits of the Kuomintang army are greater than those of the Communist Party. This comparison is very ridiculous, not to mention that after the end of the War of Resistance Against Japan, more than three million Kuomintang troops were defeated by hundreds of thousands of Communist troops and even retreated to Taiwan. It is said that at the beginning of the War of Resistance Against Japan, hundreds of thousands of Japanese soldiers were beaten to the point of losing their armor and armor, the vast city of Nanjing was abandoned, and only a few thousand Japanese troops captured Nanjing, causing the "Nanjing Massacre" massacre. If we compare weapons, the best equipment for the Communist army during the Liberation War was captured from the Japanese army, while the Kuomintang army held the latest weapons funded by the United States. And this did not save the Kuomintang from rout. This can only show that the Combat Effectiveness of the Kuomintang Army during the reign of Chiang Kai-shek's government was low and the quality of combat was poor. All their fighting power is likely to be used to exploit the people at the bottom.

If the ratio of the communist army to the Japanese army is 1:1 and the Kuomintang army is 2:1 or 3:1, it only shows that the Kuomintang army is incompetent, and they should feel ashamed rather than false glory, not to mention that there is still an undignified "moisture" in the number of people killed.
Taking the defense of Nanjing as an example, at that time, the Kuomintang mobilized 150,000 people (mostly poorly equipped miscellaneous troops) to guard Nanjing, but due to hasty preparations, and there was no determination to hold firm, the military was improperly deployed, the commander's ability was low, and it was quickly defeated. In the end, they were beheaded, buried alive or shot as live targets by the Japanese army like slaughtering sheep, and finally counted as heroes of the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression in the number of casualties, which really made people laugh off their teeth.
The truly absurd things are still to come, and Japan immediately launched an all-out war of aggression against China after creating the "July 7 Incident", when people from all walks of life rose up to resist the war. However, the Kuomintang, as the ruling party, did not move in the slightest, and the declaration declaring war on Japan was never issued, and until the unconditional surrender of Japan, the Chinese family members did not yet go to war against the invaders. It's really humiliating. Throughout the period of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Chiang Kai-shek did not wholeheartedly carry out anti-Japanese resistance, ostensibly at the urging of the Communist Party and people from all walks of life to carry out joint resistance against Japan, but in private he wanted to negotiate peace with the Japanese and eliminate the Communist Party first. This idea did not stop until the victory of the world anti-fascism had been made clear, with the intervention of the United States.
If there are still reactionaries and communists here who try to deny and distort the facts, they can only quote the views of foreigners on China's eight-year War of Resistance. US President Roosevelt commented on China's eight-year War of Resistance: The greatest significance of China's War of Resistance was that it contained two million Japanese troops and prevented them from being used in other directions, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable. Using this data to calculate, the Kuomintang army only contained about half a million Japanese troops, while the Communist-led Eighth Route Army's New Fourth Army contained more than one million Japanese troops, and the Northeast Anti-Japanese Coalition contained 700,000 Kwantung Army. Is there still a sophistry significance of such an obvious data comparison?
Some people have blamed the social injustices that are now being inflicted on the ancestors who founded this party. Whether or not you are really wronged in reality, this behavior is shameful. The ancestors who fought bloodily and toppled the "three mountains" as "thieves" who stole the fruits of victory; Martyrs who can eat and wear for future generations, but throw their heads and spill their blood, are regarded as the crumbs of the small people who "rob" others of victory. Do you still have a conscience? Throughout the history of the world, there have been several political parties that dare to say that there is no darkness in his rule, while some brainless people always regard what others let him see as the truth and follow the current. It's ridiculous, it's sad, it's pathetic!
