Northeast Anti-Japanese Coalition Army: The hardest but most persistent anti-Japanese team In the 14-year Anti-Japanese War, the Northeast Anti-Japanese Coalition Army was an anti-Japanese team with the longest combat history, the hardest but perseverance to the end. They fought in extremely difficult conditions, did not have enough weapons and logistical supplies, and even had problems with a daily meal. However, they persisted in resisting the Japanese army on the battlefield of the Black Water of the White Mountain, which lasted from the "918" incident to the great counteroffensive.
This article will explore the fighting history of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Federation and why they were unable to survive the victory in the War of Resistance at home. The Northeast Anti-Japanese Federation is an anti-Japanese armed force active in the northeast region, formerly including the Anti-Japanese Volunteer Army, the Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Army, the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, the Northeast Self-Defense Army and the Northeast People's Revolutionary Army. They united almost all the anti-Japanese armed forces that could be won over in the northeast region to jointly fight against the Japanese aggressors. In the battle against the alliance, they annihilated a total of 180,000 Japanese puppet troops, showing a tenacious fighting spirit.
However, why did the Northeast Anti-Japanese Federation not persist in the country until the victory of the War of Resistance? The main reason is that in the balance of forces between the enemy and us, the northeast region where the Northeast Anti-Resistance Alliance is located has a huge gap in strength with the Japanese Kwantung Army. From the "918" incident in 1931 to the "July Seven Incident" in 1937, the Japanese army was mainly concentrated in the northeast region, and after the outbreak of the All-out War of Resistance, in order to deal with the Soviet Kwantung Army, the Japanese army recruited troops from home and attacked North China, East China and South China.
The Kwantung Army has always had more troops than the dispatched troops, mainly because Japan is very afraid of the Soviet Red Army, so it hoarded heavy troops in Manchuria to guard against it. Compared with the Kwantung Army, the armed forces of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Alliance are almost pitiful. The fighting environment of the Northeast Anti-Resistance League was extremely difficult. The special geographical environment and cold climate in Northeast China make it extremely difficult to survive in the wild. They face basic problems of survival, such as feeding themselves, drinking hot water and getting clothed.
This harsh environment was unbearable for many people and led to three bad consequences: desertion, mutiny, and internal conflict. Many undetermined people left the ranks under the "liquidation" of the Kwantung Army and the pseudo-police, and some even chose to defect to the enemy. At the same time, the deterioration of the environment has also led to frequent internal conflicts. These factors caused the Northeast Anti-Japanese Federation to experience a tragic process in the six years from 1937 to 1942, and its combat effectiveness decreased significantly. However, despite the great difficulties it faced, there were some people in the Northeast Resistance Federation who were able to persevere.
For example, Feng Baiju had only more than 30 people left at the lowest point in Hainan, but he persisted for 23 years. Similar examples include Liu Fei and the Eighth Route Army behind enemy lines in North China. These heroic fighters relied on guerrilla tactics to deal with the Japanese army and persisted until victory in the War of Resistance. In general, the Northeast Anti-Japanese Federation was a team that fought against Japan in an extremely difficult environment. They persisted in resisting the Japanese army under the circumstances of the huge disparity between the forces of the enemy and ours, showing their perseverance and heroic fighting spirit.
Although they did not persist in the country until the victory of the War of Resistance, they made great contributions to the Chinese nation's War of Resistance. It is worth thinking about why the Northeast Anti-Japanese Federation did not persist in the country until the victory of the War of Resistance? In addition to the balance of forces between the enemy and ourselves and the harsh combat environment, what other factors led to their defeat? How should we better understand and inherit the spirit of the Northeast Resistance Federation? Please leave your comments.
