■ Research on the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression

After receiving the monograph, the author conducted a telephone interview with Wang Fu. After the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Wang Fu spent a long time collecting historical materials of the Chinese and Japanese armies from all quarters, and then took advantage of the opportunity of flying to make extremely detailed observations and understandings of the terrain of Japan's northeast, north China, central China, south China, and other areas in which Japan fought from the air and the ground.

During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Wang Fu paid attention to the study of the Japanese invasion of China, and he learned Japanese from Japanese prisoners for nearly half a year. Because of his intelligence and strong receptivity, he soon became a "Japanese master" and was able to skillfully write various materials in Japanese to meet the needs of the War of Resistance. After the liberation of the whole country, he also insisted on studying the issue of Japan's war of aggression against China, and became a veritable "non-editorial expert" in the study of the Japanese issue.

■ The whole volume lasted 8 years

In 1981, in response to the party's call, Wang Fu took the initiative to let Xian, quit his leadership post, stepped down from the post of chief of staff of the First Air Force, and began to concentrate on writing the monograph "The Japanese Army's War of Aggression against China". This has aroused the great attention of the leaders of the Air Force of the Central Military Commission, the leaders of the Shenyang Military Region, and the leaders of the Air Force of the Shenyang Military Region, and have shown concern and support respectively. The comrades of the leading organs of the air force of the Shenyang Military Region and many veteran leaders of the military circles and veteran anti-Japanese fighters also showed concern and support one after another, which made Wang Fu stronger in his determination and confidence in writing a good monograph. The Air Force of the Shenyang Military Region specially provided Wang Fu with a specific environment for writing, and was equipped with various relevant facilities and conditions.

What made Wang Fu even more grateful was that when he was writing about the Japanese invasion of the Nomenhan and Zhanggufeng areas in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, due to the extreme inconvenience of transportation, the Air Force Headquarters of the Shenyang Military Region also specially dispatched a helicopter to track the service.

The Liaoning Academy of Social Sciences, the Liaoning Library, the Academy of Military Sciences of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, the Military Museum of the Chinese Revolution, the Second Archives of China, and other units have provided Wang Fu with many conveniences, all of which have created the necessary conditions for Wang Fu to write a monograph. After retiring, Wang Fu devoted himself to the work of writing monographs, and he began to work almost every day from the early morning, except for lunch breaks and meal times, and rested until late at night, day after day, year after year. Kung Fu pays off, and in 8 years, the four volumes of the complete collection of "The Japanese Army's War of Aggression against China" have finally been successfully unscripted.
