Introduction:
Since the outbreak of " September 18th Incident " in 1931, , , the three northeastern provinces of have been occupied by the Japanese army in just over four months. This result is shocking!
is just like this, and has not yet satisfied the enemy's wolf ambitions. They bit by bit eroding our country's territory, harming innocent people, and eventually occupying most of our cities.
The country fell and the people were living in poverty. However, under such a crisis, Shaanxi and Fujian have not been captured.
two cities, one is a key city for inland transportation; the other is a coastal city that facilitates the enemy's landing. No matter from which perspective, it is urgent to capture both places. Why doesn’t the enemy even look at it? What happened to
back then? Why did Japan, which has always been greedy, let Shaanxi and Fujian go alone? Is it as netizens said, "Japan looks down on Shaanxi and Fujian"? Let’s start from the beginning and see what the Japanese have done to make a wishful thinking.
Use Chinese resources to attack China
First of all, the first question is, why does Japan look down on Shaanxi and Fujian because it is disdainful? The answer is no.
In the final analysis, Japan is just a small island country and does not have a large area of land in a certain province in our country. This also means that if Japan wants to seize our territory, it will be destined to be very difficult and resources are scarce.
Therefore, Japan spent many years to conduct systematic analysis and finally concluded that
took advantage of the situation, fought quickly, and fought with war to support the war. The first two of
are easy to understand, and Japan has done it, so I won’t say much here. So what is “to support war by fighting”?
On December 13, 1937, Japan created the tragic Nanjing Massacre, and then quickly occupied Xiamen and other places. During
, the enemy carried out "economic aggression" in the occupied areas. In short, you can seize materials, local resources, factories of all sizes and sizes everywhere, and you can collect all resources that can ensure the operation of the army.
Among them, the most pitiful one is the Chinese workers who were exploited by the enemy's extreme limit. Their work is reversed every day and night, and the rewards they receive are even difficult to fill their stomachs.
At that time, the war entered a critical stage, and Japan needed a large amount of coal mine resources to meet the needs of the war, thereby accelerating the collection of coal.
In order to save costs, Japan implemented the mining policy of "for coal" and under the implementation of the policy, millions of Chinese workers died in danger.
The Japanese don’t care about this phenomenon at all. They will only rush to replace a group of people, and they will repeat themselves.
In the eyes of the cruel Japanese, the lives of workers are not even as good as coal mines, and they are as humble as grass.
Those strong men are resources urgently needed by the Japanese. As long as these workers have a breath, they will continue to work until they die.
According to data records, many Chinese workers' lives at least a few months and a year after entering coal mines. Their final belonging is the "0,000 people trap " in anger, but not all dead people are inside.
Many surviving workers recalled:
"At that time, in addition to the workers who died of exhaustion, illness, and starvation, many people were pushed down when they were alive... In order to prevent the workers from crawling out, the Japanese cut off their hands directly."
Apart from being full of grief and anger, they were speechless for a moment...
But, this is far from over!
After the Wuhan War, the so-called "speed victory theory" of the enemy was defeated, and their eyes were once vulnerable to the enemy. The Chinese gave the Japanese a loud slap, suppressing their arrogant arrogance.
Let’s talk about it again. At that time, the Kuomintang and the Communist Party confronted each other, which gave Japan the opportunity to take advantage of the situation. Otherwise, it would be a dream to invade a great country with a small island country.
The Chinese suddenly fought back, the Japanese were unexpectedly expecting it, but soon they had a new idea:
grow poppy and sell opium. Once
starts to smoke smoke, people will be mentally distracted and their physical and mental health will be destroyed, and naturally they will not be their opponent;
fields are all taken to plant poppy, and most people can't even afford to eat, and it is even more impossible to support the Chinese army. Japan's plan is really insidious.
In addition, the Japanese also printed a large number of fiat currency in an attempt to disrupt our country's economy so that they could benefit.
To sum up, it is not difficult to find that the Japanese have a strong dependence and possessiveness on resources.
The two treasure lands of Shaanxi and Fujian cannot be missed. What made the Japanese change their minds? Let's continue to look:
Shaanxi wants to fight but cannot enter
Shaanxi has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times, and its strategic position is very important. Qinling is the dividing line between my country's north and south.
It is no exaggeration to say that getting the "fat meat" of Shaanxi is equivalent to taking a big step in strategy and accelerating the pace of aggression.
You said, can Japan allow such good resources not to be used? Can they not be moved?
In fact, it’s not that the Japanese don’t want to, but they don’t have the ability to take over Shaanxi.
First, geographical advantages
Tongguan, Shaanxi, is known as the "No. 1 pass in the world". Even if Japan has advanced equipment and strong military quality, Tongguan is still an unattainable existence.
At that time, Japan sent a force across the Yellow River , intending to attack Tongguan for force, but unexpectedly suffered the biggest loss since the war started and almost wiped out the entire army. After that, although Japan did not dare to launch a rash attack, it was inevitable to win against Shaanxi. After
, Japanese troops made a comeback and gathered heavy troops to attack Tongguan, but they still repeated the same mistakes.
Under the fierce attack of the anti-Japanese troops, the enemy retreated step by step, suffered heavy losses, and finally fled. The key to this factor is geography.
Central Shaanxi is a plain area that is easy to occupy, but in the north and south there are large areas of loess and deep mountains and forests. The enemy's heavy weapons cannot be used at all. In addition, they are not familiar with the terrain and can only be beaten wherever they go.
Second, military strength
Anti-Japanese Red Army University and Whampoa Military Academy are both in Shaanxi, with military talents abounding, and the anti-Japanese armed forces are all composed of soldiers with rich combat experience.
, combined with the local terrain advantages, will surely exert several times the combat effectiveness and become the most solid line of defense.
At that time, in addition to vigorously developing the Yan'an base, our party also continuously improved its defense against the rear, leaving Shaanxi without any worries.
Of course, the Kuomintang also knows the importance of Shaanxi.
If Shaanxi falls, the Japanese army will easily form a double attack with the Wuhan troops, pointing the muzzle at Guangzhou's National Government .
In order to prevent this situation from happening, Chiang Kai-shek successively set up the Eighth and Tenth War Zones in Shaanxi, and personally issued instructions: to defend the city of Shaanxi at all costs.
Later, the Eighth Route Army had supported many times and set up multiple base points on the border of Shaanxi. At that time, Shaanxi was as solid as the Japanese did their best but could not get any benefits.
Third, natural defense
Because the land cannot advance half a step, the Japanese army planned to launch an attack from the air and began to bombard all parts of Shaanxi without discrimination. Even so, the final result was not much better, and the Japanese officer was so angry that his face turned red and his neck was thick.
There is no better way now. The enemy troops who are in poverty will simply bomb the end. It lasted for 7 years. In total, Shaanxi has been bombed more than 560 times.
The buildings were destroyed in all directions. At the most exaggerated moments, there were bloodstains on the ground, on the city gates, and even on the trees.
Even if it reaches this point, the Japanese army has never truly invaded and has always been trapped in the border area of Shaanxi.
Throughout history, we know that Shaanxi was a relatively poor and backward place at that time, with the people's grain output not high, and some of them could not even live in a house.
So, Shaanxi people began to build caves on the mountain. Because the loess has a high viscosity and high hardness, the caves are very strong and it is difficult for external forces to destroy them. Because of this, Japan's bombing operations over the past seven years was like a joke. In addition to its solid characteristics, the cave itself is the best defense, which is also the fundamental reason why the bomber is helpless. Although the enemy bombers flew high, their vision was limited. Even if they looked wide, they were covered with loess high slopes below, and they could not find the residence of the people, so the enemy could only drop bombs everywhere.
often at this time, people hide in the air raid shelter dug in advance before the plane arrives.
The Japanese army has invested so much military force, and the results of the results are still minimal. What is it not a joke?
As the Japanese army finally realized the mistake. With their current strength, they could not break through Shaanxi, which was a solid wall.
If the troops continue to be deployed in a strong attack, not only will the team heading south be severely damaged, but the base camp may take advantage of loopholes due to insufficient troops.
After all, the Kuomintang and the Communist Party have joined forces to fight against Japan, and the pressure faced by the Japanese army is increasing day by day, so they have no choice but to give up Shaanxi.
Fujian has not been invaded, which is even more interesting.
Fujian is not favored by
Fujian is located in the central area of the southeast coast and is a gathering place for major ports.
If you want to use a word to describe Fujian, it must be "being surrounded by mountains and waters". The mountainous area accounts for more than 90%, and the remaining area is composed of water and fields.
has no coal, no minerals, and no substances. Apart from countless ports, whether it is Fujian's strategic location, or local resources, or water transportation roads, it has no major effect on Japan.
Even the tank , armored vehicle and other weapons that they are proud of have been unable to move forward in Fujian. Without these modern mechanized equipment, the invaders will be completely useless.
Therefore, Japan will not spend too much effort and troops in unintentionally occupying places, which also laid the groundwork for their final failure.
It’s a pity to eat it.
Japan knows that Fujian’s materials are basically derived from external transportation. As long as it takes the lead in capturing important ports, it is equivalent to grasping this place in Fujian.
After Japan occupied Fuzhou, it immediately oppressed local fishermen and controlled aquatic sales. All living materials were in the hands of the invaders, and it was miserable.
Following closely behind are cities such as Zhejiang and Guangdong, and Fujian is immediately in a dilemma of being attacked from both sides.
On the surface, as long as the Japanese move their fingers, the Fujian region will completely fall; but reality goes against the way, surprisingly similar to Shaanxi, and it can't be defeated for a long time.
It turns out that Fujian natives grew up listening to the story of national hero Qi Jiguang . The hatred towards the Japanese was carved into bones. Many passionate men stood up and formed the anti-Japanese guerrillas to work together to fight against the Japanese army.
Faced with this situation, it was obvious that the Japanese army had not thought about it before, but now it is too late to mobilize troops.
At that time, Anti-Japanese War entered a white-hot stage. A large number of troops were needed on each battlefield. It was really unnecessary to place resources on the dispensable Fujian.
At the same time, Fujian guerrillas often try every means to lure the Japanese army up the mountain.
Anyone with discerning eyes can tell that it is a trap at a glance, but the Japanese only take this trick, and they don’t have a memory every time, and obediently go into the mountains.
didn't know that he walked into the trap carefully arranged by the guerrillas. As soon as the enemy appeared, the guerrillas immediately dispersed the enemy troops and wiped out the enemy one by one.
On the basis of being familiar with the local terrain, it makes full use of the tactics of the enemy's advance and we retreat, the enemy's retreat, and the enemy's fatigue and disturbance, making the Japanese army unable to fight back.
So if the Japanese invaders want to capture the city of Fujian, they are destined to face high costs. They have no ability or capital to swallow Fujian.
After all, it is already difficult to maintain the existing force. If you continue to deal with it, you will only waste resources and lose your force. The most important point of
is that the Kuomintang once sent heavy troops to Fujian to defend as the rear.
Because when the Japanese invaded China in the early days, Chiang Kai-shek insisted on the policy of "staying safe from the outside world first", and issued instructions to Zhang Xueliang to not resist, which led to the loss of large areas of land in my country and was in a passive state.
Even if the last , the Communist Party of China cooperated with , it would not be easy to build a line of defense on the remaining land. The defense line of
must ensure smooth traffic and cannot directly conflict with the Japanese army. It is best to avoid the Japanese army. This provides us with enough time and space to accumulate energy, better support the battlefield and fight against the enemy.
, and Fujian along the coast is considered a suitable and safe place.
is like this. With the blessing of various factors, it is not easy for the Japanese army to easily win Fujian. Fortunately, although the Japanese army planned to transfer Fujian into the sphere of influence, they did not intend to use it as the main battlefield. Therefore, tigers with teeth pulled out are not as good as cats, and the Japanese army can only make waves in a small part of the coastal areas of Fujian.
is really ironic. Japan used to look down on Fujian, but now it is helpless to treat Fujian. By the late stage of the war, the Japanese army was at the end of their strength, their energy reached its limit, and there were traces of defeat.
In general, Japan's national strength did not support the invasion of China. At the moment when the United States put the atomic bomb into Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the Japanese government finally saw the situation clearly and accepted the doomed failure.
On August 15, 1945, Japan officially announced its unconditional surrender.
However, the crimes and harm committed by the Japanese invaders in our country are unmeasurable. They still do not repent and are still making excuses for the heinous crimes they committed at the time.
Nowadays, our country has become a powerful country, and Japan is still a small island country.
This tells us that we should never covet something that does not belong to us, and we should never extend the claws of invasion to the people of other countries.
Chinese people live in a peaceful and prosperous era. They must always remember:
The reason why China has today's prosperity and strength is all due to those brave and fearless martyrs. They paid a huge price to exchange for today's peace. They deserve to be remembered forever!
