Anti-Japanese War is the main part of the East Asian war. The anti-Japanese battlefield is mainly in China, and it also includes neighboring areas such as Myanmar northern part. China's full-scale war of resistance generally took the July 7th Lugou Bridge Incident in 1937 as the starting point, but in a broad sense, the September 18th Incident that occurred in 1931 can also be regarded as the beginning of the War of Resistance. On September 18, 1931, the Japanese army launched the September 18th Incident and occupied the entire northeastern region of China within 100 days. On March 1 of the same year, Japan established a new regime in the Northeast, "Manchukuo".
On July 7, 1937, the Japanese army provoked the Lugou Bridge Incident and the war broke out in full swing. Japan occupied the elite area of China's local area and continued to implement the strategy of "using China to control China" to establish a puppet regime. It is estimated that during the entire War of Resistance Against Japan, more than 35 million people were killed or injured, and direct and indirect economic losses reached US$600 billion. And finally, how many ten thousand troops did Japan send during the entire war of aggression against China?
1. 900,000 troops stationed in the Northeast and Inner Mongolia
At that time, Japan always hoped to establish a large empire including Northeast China, the Korean Peninsula and the Russian Far East. Therefore, Japan believed that Northeast China was the top priority, and Japan's territory was small and lacked strategic depth, so it used Manchuria and Mongolia as its rear base. During the September 18th Incident in 1931, Japan continued to increase its troops in order to control the Northeast. By 1937, after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, it had increased by 650,000 troops. Later, Japan seized the Inner Mongolia region and added another 250,000 troops.
2. The troops that went directly to war with the Chinese army reached 1.7 million
The total war broke out in 1937. At the beginning of the war, about 600,000 Japanese troops went to war with China. Later, as the front line was lengthened, troops were continuously dispatched from the local area. They first set off from the local area on a steamer, and then went ashore in Shandong, Jiangsu and other places. By the end of 1941, the troops directly fought against China reached 1.7 million!
3. There were about 200,000 Japanese troops stationed in Taiwan
At that time, Taiwan was in the Japanese rule, and Japan operated for half a century. When the war broke out, the Japanese army also increased its control over Taiwan. Among the Japanese troops who controlled Taiwan, some were transferred from the local area, with a total of 200,000. So from the above, when Japan attacked China, it sent a total of 2.8 million troops!
