Korean Army could not defeat the Japanese invaders back then. This matter has long been common knowledge of history and is well known, but why? Why can't the Kuomintang army defeat the Japanese invaders? In what specific aspects are the Japanese invading China better than the Kuomintang troops? Today, Lao Feng and you will give you a brief and rough summary.
One of the reasons: The Japanese invaders' live-fire training level is much better than that of the national army. Due to Japan's abundant national strength, the new recruits used bullets to train gun shooting, and they were very abundant and had strict training. However, because the Kuomintang troops had no money, the new recruits' shooting training was often empty gun training, and of course there was live ammunition shooting training. However, because China was poor at that time, he did not dare to waste bullets. Therefore, the length of live ammunition shooting training of the National Army was far less than that of the Japanese army. This is why during the Anti-Japanese War , the Japanese army's marksmanship was often much more accurate than that of the national army. It was not inherently excellent, but the result of training.
Reason 2: The fanatical spirit of the Japanese officers and soldiers of the invading China is effectively transformed into combat power . At that time, the Japanese were already out of ignorance. The Japanese officers and soldiers invaded China basically had at least primary and secondary school education. Since they were in elementary school, they had received education of "loyalty to the emperor and patriotism" and believed in Shintoism. The "heroic spirits" who believed that the dead of the country could enter the Yasukuni Shrine. These could effectively transform into the almost crazy combat power of the Japanese army. Relatively speaking, the illiteracy rate in the Republic of China at that time was more than 80%. The illiteracy rate of the Kuomintang troops was the vast majority of the illiteracy sources. Although these people could also establish a simple patriotic spirit after receiving the military education, their spiritual strength was still far inferior to the Japanese officers and soldiers invading China.
Reason 3: The physical fitness of Japanese officers and soldiers is better than that of national officers and soldiers . Why? The answer is simple: because Japan has strong national strength and is rich, the Japanese army's food is full of meat , and canned beef and other things have never been short. However, the food of the officers and soldiers of the Kuomintang troops has been mainly vegetarian for a long time . Yes, you read that right, it is mainly vegetarian for a long time, and only tofu, pickles, etc. can usually eat meat once every week. Why? Because the country is poor and the finances are powerless, it should be noted that on the battlefield, although the physical fitness of officers and soldiers is a micro indicator, it actually plays a major role, because it directly determines the weight bearing, marching speed, running speed, and the power bursting out during the battle. These cannot be underestimated.
Reason 4: The Japanese army's bayonet assassination technology is one dimension better than the national army. Since the Meiji Restoration era, the Japanese army has attached great importance to the assassination training of bayonets. Moreover, the "38-Big Cover" rifle of the Japanese invaders was installed with a bayonet, and the length was 1.66 meters. "38-Big Cover " is the longest rifle in the world during World War II . It is called "a spear that can fire bullets" . Due to the sufficient intensity of assassination training, the Japanese army showed a significant feature on the Chinese battlefield, that is,: they like to fight bayonets, and they always shout "Long Live" in the mountains. When they rush up, they compete with you for bayonets, and use their momentum to press them. The Kuomintang troops were defeated. At that time, many Kuomintang troops were training in normal times, and they practiced Chinese martial arts that were not good at using , and did not pay attention to bayonet assassination training. Therefore, during the War of Resistance Against Japan, many troops of the Kuomintang immediately collapsed when they saw the Japanese army rushing up to fight for bayonets. Even if there were those who were brave enough to fight for the stabbing, most of them could not fight for the Japanese army. In addition to the fact that the Kuomintang army did not pay attention to bayonet training, there was another important factor, that is: The national army's standard rifle was only 1.54 to 1.58 meters long, and it still suffered a great loss in length.
Reason 5: The Japanese army's technological level is much higher than that of the Kuomintang army .The Japanese invaders were actually the "high-tech" troops of that era. For example, the Japanese army skillfully used observation balloons to observe the positions of the Kuomintang army from a distance, locked the artillery positions, personnel positions, and even the command positions of the Kuomintang army, and then summoned aircraft, field artillery, and Japanese Navy naval gun to indicate the coordinates and quickly carried out bombing. This is why during the Battle of Songhu, the reinforcements of the Kuomintang army had not yet reached the front line, and when they were running and advancing, they had not even seen the Japanese faces, but were blown to ashes by Japanese artillery shells halfway. In addition, to give another example, the artillery soldiers of the Japanese invading China often used more advanced military and technological means at the time such as "acoustic measurement" and "hyperbolic intersection" to quickly measure the location of the Kuomintang artillery positions. Once the measurement is accurate, it immediately carried out long-range bombing. After a few minutes, the Kuomintang artillery troops became a pile of scorched earth mixed with blood and iron slag, which was very tragic. These past events are so sad.
Reason 6: The Japanese army invaded China was very united, and there was basically no factional dispute . The Japanese army was attacked by the national army, and the troops of the Japanese brothers would come to reinforce immediately. Usually they could arrive within half a day, and if they were fast, they could arrive in one or two hours. However, the national army was completely different. At that time, the Republic of China was only nominally a "unified country", and in essence it was still a situation of warlord separatism. Therefore, during the War of Resistance Against Japan, the national army of different factions, intrigueed and strife, and when it was beneficial to themselves, they would do their best to reinforce appropriately. When it was not beneficial to themselves, they would not save them. These phenomena were in the War of Resistance Against Japan. This period is common and common. For example, Bai Chongxi, the Guangxi , is such a person. During the Battle of Southern Guizhou, when Bai Chongxi was deploying troops, he first considered not how to win the Japanese, but how to preserve the strength of the Guangxi , and secondly how to win the Japanese. The same is true for , Jiang Kaishi, who was intriguing with Bai Chongxi. Sometimes he fought against Japan, and , and he also had selfishness. He tried every means to let his non-direct troops go first and act as cannon fodder. In short, during the War of Resistance Against Japan, , in fact, in the Republic of China, he never had a rope in the Republic of China, and never achieved a thorough and true unity in the fight against Japan.
Reason 7: The intelligence reconnaissance capabilities of the Japanese invaders are much stronger than those of the national army . The Japanese army's spy capabilities are very mature. The Japanese investigations are detailed in all aspects of the Chinese war zone, roads, camps, transportation power, meteorology, health, communications... and all aspects of the Chinese war zone, and they are well aware of it. Moreover, the Japanese army's spy network is powerful. Sometimes even foreigners are recruited as spies by the Japanese army. For example, during the Battle of Shanghai, the 51st Division of the Kuomintang troops was ordered to go to Shanghai from Hanzhong to participate in the war. However, since the departure, this division was chased and bombed by the Japanese army along the way. When the division commander thought something was wrong, he thought that there must be an insider. After checking, he found out who it was? found that it was an Italian priest from a Catholic church in Hanzhong. He was a white man. However, this person turned out to be a spy from the Japanese army . After searching, various evidences such as weapons, communication stations, and communication documents were found from the priest's church. You can imagine how powerful the Japanese army's intelligence capabilities are.
The eighth reason: The equipment of the Japanese invasion of China is better than that of the national army. The Japanese army's weapons and equipment are not only better than the national army in terms of performance, but also in terms of quantity. For example, compared with the " German Division" of the National Army, the number of rifles of the Japanese army is 1.6 times that of the National Army. The light and heavy machine gun is more than twice that of the National Army, and the heavy machine gun is more than twice that of the field artillery.In terms of quality and performance, for example, the effective range of the Japanese "Three Eight Major Cover" rifle is 460 meters. However, the "Chinese Official" rifle of the National Army, due to its poor quality and technology, the truly effective range is only 200 to 300 meters. This is still the equipment of the Kuomintang Central Army . As for the local miscellaneous army, the quality of the weapons is even worse. For example, the 26th Division of the National Revolutionary Army, which started from Sichuan and participated in the War of Resistance Against Japan, had only 3 machine guns and more than 50 "Hanyang-made" rifles. Moreover, these rifles were all used for more than ten years, with worn rifles and loose bolts. Some rifles even had to tie the handles with hemp ropes to prevent them from falling. With such weapons and equipment, how could they compete with the Japanese army?
Reason 9: Invading China Japanese army showed the degree of madness that humans can show in combat to the extreme. During the battle, the Japanese army completely entered a state of beasts, which was almost perverted. In the human society at that time, no one could compete with it. For example, during the Hengyang Defense Battle, , the Japanese army organized a squadron of (about 200 people) and carried out night attacks on the 10th Army of the National Army. In order to avoid alarming the snakes and not to alarm the National Army, they did not even fire flares! In other words: the Japanese did not intend to distinguish between the enemy and us at all, but instead got involved with the officers and soldiers of the 10th Army of the National Army in the dark. played completely blindly and fought desperately, and eventually killed many officers and soldiers of the National Army. However, the Japanese army was outnumbered and eventually destroyed by the National Army. However, after dawn, when the National Army cleaned the battlefield, they found that many Japanese soldiers died of stabbing each other to death. Because they couldn't see clearly in the dark, the Japanese army stabbed each other a lot. Back then, the Japanese army used this desperate and almost perverted combat method to attack the National Army. Do you think such a unit is no different from a beast?
The tenth reason: The firepower of the Japanese invaders is stronger than that of the national army. The number of rifles equipped by the Japanese army, the number of machine guns, the number of grenade launchers, and the number of infantry artillery (such as the famous 92 infantry artillery) are far more than the number of national troops of the same size, and the gap in heavy weapons is particularly obvious, such as heavy artillery , tanks, etc. Let me say the simplest thing: back then, our country was poor, and each soldier of the defenders usually had no more than 30 bullets. However, the Japanese soldiers' bullets were equipped with 120 standard. The gap in firepower can be imagined. In addition, the Japanese army was a firepower network composed of the three armies, the navy and the air force, while the Chinese army had very little and almost no strength. To be honest, the Japanese army was a veritable "dimensionality reduction strike" against the Chinese army.
Reason 1: The cultural level of the Japanese invaders in China is higher than that of the national army. After reading this, you may ask: What is the relationship between cultural level and combat effectiveness? Can the "Graduation Certificate" still block bullets? The answer is this: 's cultural level can indeed be indirectly converted into combat power . To give a simple example: artillery. Most of the soldiers of the National Army were illiterate back then, and learning artillery requires a basic mathematical foundation. Otherwise, he would not understand what you explained to an illiterate person, such as " parabola ", "45-degree angle", etc., and the low hit rate of the National Army's artillery back then was related to the quality of the military source and the lack of training. There is another example: engineers. Engineers also need mathematical knowledge as a basis, such as triangular geometry, and various explosive models are marked in words. If a soldier is illiterate, he cannot even understand or remember the explosive models. Without these cultural foundations, everything needs to be taught from scratch, which is very troublesome and difficult, while the Japanese army almost all got rid of blindness, and these problems do not exist at all.
In addition to the above, the Japanese army's battlefield logistics, battlefield engineering, battlefield medical care, battlefield communication, combat organization, command execution, officers and soldiers' obedience, infantry and artillery coordination... are basically better than the Kuomintang troops, so we say that in the War of Resistance Against Japan, the Japanese army crushed the Kuomintang army in all aspects. It is no exaggeration to say that nothing of the Kuomintang army is better than the Japanese army, and it is normal that it cannot defeat the Japanese army.
The martyrs of the anti-Japanese war back then had to withstand eight years with such harsh conditions. You can imagine how difficult it was for them. When I wrote this, I seemed to see the Japanese army as crazy as wolf dog on the battlefield of the anti-Japanese war back then, facing the Japanese planes, Tanks, whistling shells, they faced the despair of death, and the tragic howls of before their death, have turned into dust of history and been buried in the long river of time, who is not the child that parents love the most ? Today, how many of us remember them.
