In anti-Japanese dramas, we often see the scenes of "devils entering the village", and those plots are often understated, even a little funny. For example, martial arts people, with their hands, directly tore a Japanese prisoner in half, and some even better, using the Hercules arm, threw a grenade into the air to bomb the plane.
Others caught bullets with their bare hands, and the bullets turned around several kilometers away to kill Japanese officers. What's even more powerful is that when the Japanese army entered the village, the villagers played the Japanese army around in a few words, and annihilated a small team of the Japanese army without much effort. It gives people the feeling that this Japanese army is also "too vegetable".
And the real "devil enters the village" is far from this, it is a painful and cruel history, a past that we cannot avoid. The Japanese invasion of China was a well-planned war of aggression. Their goal is not only to occupy Chinese land, but also to destroy the will of the Chinese people to resist.
In order to achieve this goal, the Japanese army carried out the inhumane "sweep" and "three-light policy". The so-called "Great Purge" was an extreme action taken by the Japanese army in order to completely eliminate the anti-Japanese forces and retaliate against the common people for their support for the anti-Japanese armed forces. And the "three-light policy", that is, "burning, robbing, and killing", pushed this atrocity to the extreme.
Before each "devil enters the village", the Japanese army will carry out careful deployment and reconnaissance. They were not reckless men who broke into villages at will, but regular troops with strict military training.
They would send scouts to infiltrate the village in advance to observe the terrain, the layout of the houses, and even the living habits of the villagers. They will only move when it is confirmed that there is no ambush or danger.
Once in the village, the atrocities of the Japanese army began. First of all, they will rob the villagers of food and property to meet their own needs and achieve the strategic goal of "feeding the war with war". When food and belongings are looted, or when they can't take them with them, they set fire to their houses, burning everything and leaving the villagers without their homes. Even more brutal, they slaughtered innocent villagers and even kidnapped women as comfort women.
In the process, the villagers are often powerless to resist. Because the Japanese army was well-equipped and powerful, while the villagers lacked weapons and training, they had to be slaughtered by the Japanese army. They face the threat of life and death, and endure great fear and suffering.
Different from the plot of the easy victory over the Japanese army in the drama of the Anti-Japanese War, the real process of the Anti-Japanese War is full of hardships and sacrifices. The Chinese army paid a huge price in the battle against the Japanese army, and many heroic fighters gave their lives for the good of the country and the nation.
You must know that at that time, the standard equipment of the Japanese army was a Type 38 rifle, more than 120 rounds of ammunition, a pistol, and more than a dozen grenades. They are well fed, canned beef at every meal, vegetables, rice, and professionally trained. And our army can't even eat enough, an average of 5 people have an old-fashioned rifle and 5 bullets, and they rely on broadswords to fight the Japanese army. Even if it is a white-knuckle battle, if we want to kill a Japanese soldier, we will have to pay the price of 5 people.
It shows that there is a huge disparity in strength between the two sides, so these exaggerated and absurd plots in the drama are really disrespectful to the ancestors. If the War of Resistance was so easy, we wouldn't have had to fight for 8 years, and we wouldn't have suffered 35 million casualties.
Looking back on this period of history, we must always remember the heroes and martyrs who sacrificed their lives for the resistance against Japan, and we must also recognize the cruelty and ruthlessness of war. The real "devil enters the village" is not an easy episode in the TV series, but a harrowing history. At any time, only by not forgetting the national shame can we remain strong and not repeat the mistakes of history. We must always be vigilant against Japan, after all, Japan has been ambitious for thousands of years.
