In , the Anti-Japanese War , five provinces sent the most troops, and they contributed the most troops in the country, , and even the fifth-ranked province sent more than 900,000 troops.
There are troops from these five provinces on almost all battlefields. Although they have different dialect accents, they all have the same goal: fight against the Japanese invaders and serve the country with their own hearts!
First of all, Guangdong Province ranked fifth in the number of troops sent, with a total of .925 million people!
Many people are a little unfamiliar with Guangdong Province's achievements in the War of Resistance Against Japan, and are even unheard of it. But in fact, Guangdong is one of the provinces that contributed the most to the War of Resistance Against Japan.
Not only that, Guangdong is also the first province to rise up and set off a wave of anti-Japanese war. As early as the "January 28 Incident" broke out, when the Japanese Marine Corps invaded Shanghai in 1932, the Guangdong 19th Route Army was filled with indignation, and all went north to the battlefield in East China to actively fight against Japan.
At that time, there were only more than 33,000 troops in 19, and after receiving support and supplementation, there were only more than 50,000 people in . But we have to face 90,000 Japanese troops with full armed and naval and air support.
Under the arduous conditions of no guarantee of food and ammunition and no cotton jacket in winter, the Vietnamese army organized suicide squads many times, carrying grenade at the cost of life to blow up enemy tank , destroying more than 10,000 Japanese invaders, and forcing the Japanese army to change their commanders many times. However, the series of wrong policies of the Chiang Kai-shek government later compromised with the invaders, resulting in the integrity of Guangdong soldiers. not only that, in order to consolidate its own rule and safeguard its own interests, Chiang Kai-shek also used a series of means to attack the Guangdong army, which made the whole country feel heartbroken.
The unbearable 19th Army launched a mutiny in Fujian and put forward the slogan of "anti-Chiang and anti-Japanese". He called on the world to unite and fight against the Japanese invaders, but was bloody suppressed by Chiang Kai-shek using cruel means and even cancelled the entire army's number.
However, after the full war of resistance began in 1937, the brave and warlike Guangdong army was re-activated by Chiang Kai-shek and was devoted to major battlefields across the country.
According to statistics, during the eight-year full-scale war of resistance, Guangdong sent a total of 925,000 troops, ranking fifth in the country, and it was found in the armies of both parties.
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 He fought with the puppet army more than 3,000 times, and killed and wounded more than 230,000 enemies in eight years, making great contributions to the victory of the anti-Japanese war.
Next ranked fourth is Jiangxi Province, with a total of 947,000 troops sent!
As an old revolutionary base, Jiangxi's contribution to the War of Resistance Against Japan was also huge. During the eight-year comprehensive war of resistance, Jiangxi, as an important hinterland connecting the battlefields of central and southern China, was the first to be coveted by the Japanese invaders.
The brutal Japanese army burned, killed, looted and committed all kinds of evil. According to statistics, during the eight-year War of Resistance Against Japan, the number of casualties in Jiangxi Province reached 500,000. More than half of the larger houses in the province were burned down, and larger towns such as Gao'an and Fengxin were razed to the ground, and more than 5 million civilians were displaced and homeless.
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
In addition to the spontaneous anti-Japanese activities among the people, the front battlefield in Jiangxi is also one of the most tragic fronts in the country.
Since 1938, in the territory of Jiangxi, the Chinese army and the Japanese invaders have successively launched a series of major battles such as the Madang Battle, , the De'an Battle, Nanchang Battle, , and other major battles. The two sides have confronted each other 18 times, and the situation is extremely tragic.
In the Battle of Nanchang, the Chinese army defeated the Japanese modern mechanical forces with flesh and blood. At the cost of more than 50,000 casualties, the Japanese army lost more than 24,000 troops. Ganpo beaten into blood and corpses were everywhere.
And the people of Jiangxi spontaneously joined the anti-Japanese team, and replaced the sacrificed soldiers and continued to fight the Japanese aggressors for a desperate battle.One batch after another, leading to a large number of "unmanned villages" and even "unmanned townships" on the land of Jiangxi.
At that time, Jiangxi's total population was only 15 million, but it contributed nearly one million troops to the country, ranking among the top in the country by proportion.
During the entire War of Resistance Against Japan, Jiangxi battlefield fought against a large number of Japanese troops, but the entire territory was never fallen, and basically defended the battle line and stalemate line against Japan. It has made important contributions to supporting the Southeast War of Resistance, blocking the southwest rear, and insisting on the nationwide long-term war of resistance until the final victory. Among them, the famous victory of , " Wanjialing Victory " and "Shanggao Battle", and were both fought in Jiangxi.
Later, there were many soldiers from the Eighth Route Army from Jiangxi. Many of them were outstanding soldiers who had passed the 25,000-mile Long March. They traveled to northern Shaanxi through Jiangxi and became the main force of the rear anti-Japanese battlefield.
Next ranked third was Hunan Province, with a total of 1.57 million troops sent!
Hunan Army children can be summarized in the three words "loyalty, righteousness, and wiseness" . They have proved their bloody nature with a series of achievements.
Hunan Army is the absolute main force of Shanghu Battle . In the three-month bloody battle, almost emptied all the Hunan Army's forces. Some Hunan Army troops that had head-on conflicts with the Japanese aggressors on the front line even died in battle due to excessive casualties and their numbers were cancelled.
. The remaining Hunan Army children did not retreat because of this. They were incorporated into the major local army and were still fighting on the front line of the anti-Japanese war.
Before going to the battlefield to kill the enemy, the children of the Hunan Army always spoke in a Hunan accent and said "Goodbye in the next life", which shows that in order to fight against the Japanese invaders, they have long regarded death as if they were home.
and Hunan is one of the main battlefields of the Anti-Japanese War. The Japanese invaders deployed a large number of troops here, and 7 major battles broke out in Changsha, Hengyang , Changde and other places, and the number of annihilated Japanese invaders accounted for more than half of the total annihilation of enemies in the 8-year War of Resistance Against Japan.
"Destroy our country, unless you destroy Henan first!" This is the roar of the children of the Hunan Army when facing the invaders. If any unit is empty, the men in Hunan will take over!
As the front line of fighting against the Japanese invaders, Hunan defended to the end with the sacrifice of the children of the Hunan Army and became one of the "big rear" of our country's war of resistance.
, the 74th Army and the 5th Army, which fought extremely well in the War of Resistance, and even the 6th Army of the Expeditionary Force, which went to Southeast Asia, , all recruited troops in Hunan.
At that time, the total population of Hunan Province was only 23 million, but 1.57 million soldiers were out of the country. In other words, on average, 1 out of every 15 people in province goes to fight against Japan!
In the war, the children of Hunan tried their best, and after the war they even took the banner of revitalizing our country.
Later, Hunan Province has emerged many generals who have made great contributions to the Republic, including General Peng and General Su Yu, a group of founding leaders, all of whom are from Hunan.
It can be said that Hunan plays an important role in the history of the War of Resistance Against Japan and even the entire history of New China!
But what is even more surprising is that the second-ranked military service in in the Anti-Japanese War was actually Henan Province, with the number of people reaching 1.89 million!
Henan has been the center of China since ancient times and is known as the "Central Plains". After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, this place was a strategic location connecting our country's southeast, southwest and northwest, and was one of the primary targets of the Japanese invaders.
The Japanese army committed numerous crimes against the people of Henan. They vigorously implemented the " Three Light Policy " in Henan. Wherever they went, they slaughtered the people, burned houses, and stolen food.
Just Jiyuan County, during the 18-year-old War of Resistance Against Japan, nearly 20,000 innocent people were brutally killed by the Japanese invaders, and more than 50,000 houses were burned by the Japanese army. The data in the province was even more uncountable, and the number of people killed was outrageous.
The Japanese army was salivating about Henan and its troops were also at the forefront among the provinces. According to statistics, during the Anti-Japanese War, only two counties in Henan were not occupied by the Japanese invaders, and wars were everywhere on the Central Plains.
But in such a difficult situation, Henan still contributed 1.89 million troops to the whole country. , and most of these Henan children went to the most dangerous and cruel frontal battlefield of the anti-Japanese war, shouldering the greatest pressure to block the Japanese invaders.
Not only that, Henan was also one of the main grain-producing areas in the country during the war. Even in 1942, when famine was rampant and hunger was everywhere, Henan also provided an astonishing more than 2 million stones of grain to the front line, ranking fourth in the country.
Their contributions are so great that they must not be ignored!
Of course, Sichuan Province ranked first in the country in the last place, with a total number of troops sent as high as more than 3 million!
As we all know, the Japanese invaders never attacked Sichuan, but Sichuan became the province with the most troops.
No one can remember that on all battlefields of the Anti-Japanese War, you can always see a group of troops wearing straw sandals and carrying big swords. They are the Sichuan Army that contributed the most in the Anti-Japanese War!
0 The Sichuan Army has poor equipment, but they are all tough battles with the highest degree of tragic and the most casualties. On the battlefield, the soldiers of the Sichuan Army often draw out their big swords to fight the Japanese aggressors in a tragic hand-to-hand battle with the Japanese aggressors.
At that time, the Japanese army's hand-to-hand combat was extremely powerful, and the Sichuan army was one of the few troops that dared to fight against the Japanese army. This has also become one of the reasons why the Japanese army is so afraid of the Sichuan army.
In the late period of the Anti-Japanese War, as long as the Japanese soldiers saw our army carrying a big knife, they would unconsciously become weak and lose their fighting spirit, and subconsciously thought that it was the Sichuan Army coming.
A Japanese veteran later said: The Sichuan Army ignited the flames in the hearts of the Chinese army, rekindling their hope of victory.
No river will become an army , this is the unified evaluation of this heroic army by later generations. During the War of Resistance Against Japan, the number of troops from Sichuan ranked first in the country, and their figures were spread all over the motherland.
The 22nd Army, which was the first to leave Sichuan, once traveled to major battlefields across the country. Without any rest, they participated in the two fierce and cruel battles of the Battle of Shanghai and the Battle of Taiyuan . There were more than 40,000 people fighting to the end, only less than 20,000 people were left. Generals at all levels took the lead in charging and sacrificed their lives for their country.
Sichuan Army was the most casualty during the War of Resistance Against Japan, with a maximum of 640,000 people, accounting for one fifth of the total number of casualties in the country!
What is even more tragic is that when the children of Sichuan army left Sichuan, their parents gave them a few " dead flag ".
This flag is the hope of parents for their children. "Wipe blood when they are injured, wrap your body after they die", How tragic is this!
After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, when celebrations were celebrated, almost every household in Sichuan hangs white silk, paper money drifts thousands of miles away, and the sky is filled with the breath of incense. Because there are only one out of ten children of the Sichuan Army who returned to their hometown, countless families are paying homage to their children.
In fact, during the Anti-Japanese War, major provinces across the country made indelible contributions. No matter how many troops were sent, as long as we fight for the country, no matter the region, it is worth remembering and praising us!
