Where do people in China fight the most battles? Regarding this issue, everyone must have their own ideas. Of course, people in every region think that people in their own regions fight the most.
So today we will reduce the scope to compare the more famous Sichuan Army and Guangxi Army.
Sichuan Army and Guangxi Army definitely shined during the Anti-Japanese War. At that time, there was a saying that was widely circulated: "There is no army without Sichuan, Guangxi wolf soldier dominates the world."
These two sentences sum up the characteristics of the Sichuan Army and Guangxi Army.
From the literal meaning of these two sentences alone, the word "Wuchuan does not make an army" refers to the large number of Sichuan army, without Sichuan people, it cannot be called an army; "Guangxi wolf soldiers dominate the world" It shows that Guangxi has strong combat power, soldiers like wolves, and a pack of wolves is absolutely invincible.
The combat effectiveness of the Sichuan Army and the Guangxi Army was once a point of contention. Some people believed that the Sichuan Army was stronger because the Japanese army failed to attack Sichuan many times because the Sichuan Army blocked the Japanese army outside the pass. What's more, the Sichuan army also went out to fight in the province and became a famous iron-blooded division, supporting the backbone of the Chinese nation.
Some people believe that the Guangxi Army is more powerful. Every time the Guangxi Army engages with the Japanese Army, the Japanese Army will be hit hard. The Japanese Army believes that the Guangxi Army is the closest to the Japanese Bushido.
There is no doubt that the Guangxi Army and the Sichuan Army are both tiger and wolf divisions, so who is stronger? This question is definitely a big problem. Deng Xiaoping encountered this problem before, or was asked by his daughter in public. So how did Deng Xiaoping answer it?
Deng Xiaoping
Deng Xiaoping commented on the Sichuan Army and Guangxi Army
In 1986, when Deng Xiaoping and his group visited Guilin, his daughter asked: "How about the soldiers in Guangxi?"
Deng Xiaoping replied: "Guangxi The soldiers can fight.
Then my daughter asked, "Which is better than Sichuan?"
Deng Xiaoping replied: "The Sichuan Army cannot fight, but the Sichuan Army has the strongest willpower.
Then Deng Xiaoping recalled when he participated in the revolution, and said: "If the Sichuan Army is a fighting force, then the Guangxi Army is equivalent to the elite of the army.
Deng Xiaoping described the Guangxi Army with the word "Elite". It can be seen that the combat effectiveness of the Guangxi Army is really strong, and it can get such a high evaluation from Deng Xiaoping.
Deng Xiaoping
Speaking of which, some people may not be convinced. No matter how many elites meet the pressure of the army, they still have to surrender. After all, elites are limited. In summary, the Sichuan army is strong.
This is really an age-old problem. It seems that everyone is strong. Then let's analyze the characteristics of the two armies in detail.
The combat effectiveness of the early Sichuan army
Speaking of the combat effectiveness of the Sichuan army, we cannot simply generalize, because the fighting state of the early Sichuan army and the later Sichuan army are completely different, and the combat effectiveness is naturally large. This also makes Deng Xiaoping believe that the Sichuan army's combat effectiveness is poor. One, after all, people have a primordial effect.
There is a saying in history to describe Sichuan: "The world has not been chaotic, but Sichuan will be chaotic." Due to the specific geographical environment, Sichuan is very easy to form a separatist force.
In 1911, Sichuan first announced the establishment of a military government and began to become independent from the Qing government, thus becoming a separatist power.
But Sichuan There are many internal factions in, and at a time when the world is chaotic, there are often warlords fighting.
The people of Sichuan have long been accustomed to this. The soldiers are all villagers in the village and will not be dead, and the grassroots soldiers do not. After formal training, discipline is lax.
Many soldiers also like to smoke leaf cigarettes, often without leaving their hands, giving people a decadent image, and their combat effectiveness is no different from ordinary people.
Most of the warlords of Sichuan Army are also illiterate. ,Most of them started with the original capital of the family. Once they have won the war, they will lead an extravagant life.
Therefore, news of the Sichuan army's lack of discipline, weak combat effectiveness, and extravagant warlords spread, and many people outside have formed a fixed impression of the Sichuan army.
Deng Xiaoping described the reason for the poor combat effectiveness of the Sichuan army. This is the early Sichuan army and the impression of the early warlords of the Sichuan army.
This impression of Sichuan's poor combat effectiveness did not change until after 1937.
Sichuan soldiers on the march
The Sichuan Army has amazing willpower
After the war of resistance broke out in 1937, Liu Xiang took the initiative to ask the soldiers to come out of the Sichuan War, and Sichuan men were ordered to join the army. The people of Sichuan also contributed their own strength one after another.
When his son was about to leave Sichuan, a father wrote a "death" flag for his son to carry on the battlefield. The flag was written as loyal to the country and encouraged his son to fight for the country.
"Dead" flag
When the Sichuan Army first came out of Sichuan, all warlords did not look down on the Sichuan Army, but the Sichuan Army itself was fighting for the battle of Songhu in , , the defense of Nanjing, In battles such as the Taierzhuang Battle and Wuhan Defence Battle, I would rather die than surrender than lightly wounded.
In the battle against Japan, the Sichuan man lost his lazy attitude before, guarding every inch of his position with flesh and blood, and blocking the Japanese cavalry from Tongguan .
Although the Sichuan Army was armed and equipped, they fought against the enemy with flesh and blood, and suffered heavy casualties. They resolutely did not surrender and had amazing willpower. The Sichuan army either hit the last person on the battlefield with a gun, or committed suicide and died for the country, and never surrendered.
Every time the Sichuan army fights the Japanese army, there are heavy casualties,It often resisted multiple fierce attacks by the Japanese army with a casualty rate of one to six, replenishing fresh blood for various warlords, winning a short respite, and also winning the respect of various warlords.
Therefore, there is a saying on the battlefield that the Sichuan Army is not afraid of death. This sentence is the highest respect for the Sichuan Army.
This is also the reason why Deng Xiaoping later thought about it and said that the Sichuan Army had the strongest willpower.
The Sichuan Army’s swearing
According to statistics, during the Anti-Japanese War, the number of people who came out of Sichuan during the Anti-Japanese War was about 3 million, a huge number. On average, there was one Sichuanese in the anti-Japanese war team of 5 people. After the war, there were casualties. The total number is about 300,000, far more than other provinces.
And Sichuan bears one-third of China's war funds. Not only that, Sichuan also sends a large amount of food to the north. In order to resist the Japanese invaders, the people of Sichuan gave people, money, and food. This shows that the people of Sichuan have a deep sense of righteousness and strong patriotism.
It can be said that the Sichuan Army has contributed to China's final victory.
Guangxi’s wolf soldiers dominate the world
After talking about the Sichuan army, let’s analyze the characteristics of the Guangxi army. Why can the Guangxi army get such a high evaluation from Deng Xiaoping?
Guangxi belonged to the barbarians in ancient times. As the saying goes, the environment creates the character of the barbarians. It can be called the barbarous land. The biggest feature is that the economy is underdeveloped and the living environment is harsh, so the people here are sturdy.
The people in Guangxi are usually low-key and unknown, but they must not be underestimated because of their usual docility. The army in Guangxi is not able to fight suddenly, but has always been able to fight very well.It's just hidden from time to time. The "wolf soldier" in Guangxi did not come during the Anti-Japanese War, but as early as the Ming Dynasty had the title of "wolf soldier".
In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, the national treasury was empty, and Japanese pirates frequently harassed the coastal areas of the Ming Dynasty. Due to the lack of strong financial support from the central government, the military discipline of the troops in the coastal areas was slack and their combat effectiveness declined, making it impossible to withstand the attacks of the Japanese pirates.
The attack of 倭寇 caused harm to people in coastal areas, and also caused abnormal troubles to the court. However, the court could not send a large army to encircle and suppress the people, because the people who harassed the people were all Japanese ronins, scattered and robbed. Run when finished.
Just as the court was having a headache, the chieftain of Guangxi sent timely rain.
Guangxi's chieftain's letter said: I have a team under his hand, which is composed of Dong and Yao . It has amazing fighting power, but there is no place for fighting. At this time, Japanese pirates are rampant in coastal areas, and this team can be allowed to defend against Japanese pirates and serve the court.
In fact, the chieftains of Guangxi are also very troublesome for this team. The fighting power is amazing, but it is not easy to manage, and they often make trouble. Sincerely solved the trouble again.
When the emperor was overjoyed, he immediately dispatched this force to defend against the Japanese pirates.
The results did not disappoint. This team captured a few Japanese ronins as soon as they arrived on the coast and deterred the rest of the Japanese ronins. The Japanese ronins along the coast were afraid of this team, so they named this team "Wolf Soldier".
In the last years of the Ming Dynasty, Yuan Chonghuan once led 10,000 Guangxi soldiers against the 280,000 soldiers of the Manchu army, but Yuan Chonghuan did not lose sight of it.
Everyone knows that the army in the early Qing Dynasty was powerful, but there was no way to deal with Guangxi soldiers, so there was the legend of "Guangxi wolf soldiers dominate the world".
The powerful Guangxi army
In the late Qing Dynasty, the vigorous Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement broke out. The leader Hong Xiuquan was in Guangxi as a secret base for anti-Qing soldiers. The lone army went deep into Tianjin and occupied most of China, making the Qing court uneasy.
After the main force of the Red Army crossed the Xiangjiang River on December 3, 1934, the rest of the troops were divided and surrounded by the Guangxi Army when they approached the Xiangjiang River. As a result, most of the Red Army soldiers surrounded by the Guangxi Army died.
During the Long March, the Red Army passed through the battle, constantly broke through the encirclement, and broke out of the encirclement, but suffered a big loss in the Xiangjiang battle , and suffered heavy losses. The Battle of Xiangjiang River was also the worst loss of the Red Army during the entire Long March, which made the entire Communists remember it in their hearts and left a deep impression on the army in Guangxi ever since.
This is also an important reason why Deng Xiaoping believes that the Guangxi Army is strong. After all, the Red Army suffered a loss in the Guangxi Army.
During the Anti-Japanese War, the Guangxi Army was even more brilliant and famous, and became a famous tiger and wolf division.
During the Battle of Songhu, the Guangxi Army and the Japanese Army met in the Wizaobang area. At this time, the Guangxi Army was at an absolute disadvantage compared with the Japanese Army. Not only the weapons and equipment, but also the personnel were very different, but the Guangxi Army did not shrink and took the initiative. Attacked and fought a beautiful ambush.
At the critical moment of the battle, the two sides even fought hand-to-hand, but what the Japanese did not expect was that the Japanese army did not take advantage of the "broken" Guangxi army. The Guangxi army's tragic victory caused a heavy blow to the Japanese army.
Mentioned that the Guangxi Army had to mention the Guilin Defense War . The Japanese army had always wanted to invade the Guangxi area, but it was stubbornly resisted by the Guangxi Army.
In the defense of Guilin, the Guangxi Army faced 20,000 soldiers against 100,000 Japanese soldiers.In the face of the powerful Japanese army, the Guangxi army knew that it would not last long, but it still managed to lengthen the front and disperse the Japanese army.
The Guangxi Army was fighting against the Japanese with a determination to die. They were not afraid of death and beheaded the Japanese generals on the spot. Although they did not save Guilin in the end, they severely damaged the core force of the Japanese army and brought confidence to China's victory in the War of Resistance.
Until the defeat of Japan, the Japanese army did not completely occupy the Guangxi area. The reason is that the Guangxi army continuously harassed the Japanese army, destroyed the Japanese army's transportation line, and hit the Japanese army ambush, etc., which made the Japanese army unable to continue to expand.
During the War of Liberation , our army’s main focus was also the Guangxi Army. The Guangxi Army has a strong combat power. If they meet on the battlefield, they will definitely bring losses to the People’s Liberation Army. Sure enough, the two armies met on the battlefield. The People's Liberation Army was attacked by the Guangxi Army and suffered heavy casualties. The final solution to the Guangxi Army took a lot of our party's thoughts.
once described the Guangxi army: "No country without gui" , Guangxi refers to Guangxi, which shows the status of the Guangxi army in China.
The difference between the Sichuan army and the Guangxi army
Sichuan and Guangxi belonged to the barbarians in ancient times, so the people's combat power was also strong, and the rulers of the Central Plains were difficult to conquer. However, at the moment of national peril, both the Sichuan army and the Guangxi army rejected prejudice , Defend the home and the country.
During the Anti-Japanese War, both the Sichuan Army and the Guangxi Army made important contributions, and both had relatively strong combat effectiveness. If you have to compare, as Deng Xiaoping said: Guangxi Army has a strong fighting power, Sichuan Army has a strong fighting will.
Someone asked why the combat effectiveness of the Guangxi Army is so strong, but the popularity is not as high as that of the Sichuan Army?
In fact, this is because the Sichuan Army has no major problems as a whole.The only thing that makes people talk about it is the issue of discipline. However, the issue of discipline in the Sichuan Army occurs in non-emergency times. The critical moment of the battle is unambiguous. The most important thing is not to harm the people, not to disturb the people, and to be respected by the people.
In contrast, the Guangxi Army is different. The Guangxi Army is strong in combat effectiveness, but the Guangxi Army is not only strong to the outside world, but also strong to its own people.
Wherever the Guangxi army passes by, the people are as frightened as they meet the Japanese army. Such an army is naturally unpopular. The people of the Guangxi army are resentful, and of course they will not be as prestigious as the Sichuan army.
Deng Xiaoping watched the Chinese Communist Party grow up step by step, and he had the most intuitive feeling about the combat effectiveness of all parts of the Chinese army at that time. The combat effectiveness of the Guangxi Army was strong. Not only Deng Xiaoping said, Peng Dehuai also said that Sichuan and Guangxi are tigers and wolves. The teacher.
