The Americans mobilized hundreds of thousands of soldiers and began to compete with the Japanese army in the Pacific Ocean to compete with the Japanese army. The technical and tactical qualities of the American soldiers were indeed unable to compare with the Japanese soldiers who had been trained for a long time on the Chinese battlefield. However, after being angry, the American soldiers' fighting will was never inferior to the Japanese soldiers.

In order to seize the islands on the South Pacific from the Japanese army, the American soldiers showed an unthinkable fighting spirit. On hundreds of Pacific islands, almost every small island is filled with the heroic spirit of American soldiers. On islands such as Saipan and Iwo Jima, tens of thousands of American soldiers are buried with them.

Compared with the US Army, the US Navy's performance is even more dazzling

After the Pearl Harbor incident, the US Navy's Pacific Fleet was almost completely destroyed, and only two aircraft carriers escaped by chance. However, just half a year later, the Americans quickly rebuilt the Pacific Fleet with their strong shipbuilding capabilities and large-scale modification of merchant ships.

However, it should be noted that the rebuilt Pacific Fleet is far behind the combined fleet of Japan's small fleet in terms of total tonnage of warships, performance of warships, and overall quality of naval officers and soldiers. However, in the Midway Navy Battle, which decided the strategic initiative of the Central Pacific, the US Navy's Pacific Fleet defeated the more with fewer and defeated the combined fleet of Japan's small fleet. The Japanese Navy has never recovered since then.

There is a Chinese saying that you will eventually have to pay back when you come out.

Half a century ago, the little Japanese used war to bet on national destiny, and with a joint fleet that did not have any advantage, severely damaged the Beiyang fleet of the Qing Dynasty in the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895. The little Japanese was able to get rid of the fate of being enslaved and quickly became one of the world's great powers.

Half a century later, Japan once again bet on national destiny through war. However, this time, Japan faced no longer the decadent Qing Dynasty, but a vibrant United States with a huge population base and a strong industrial manufacturing base. Therefore, the result was almost destined.

After the Battle of Midway, the US military launched a strategic counterattack from the Pacific Ocean.

In order to stop the fierce offensive of the US military, the Japanese base camp had to draw troops from the Chinese battlefield again and again. By the 33rd year of the Republic of China, the main forces of the Central and Japanese troops, the Japanese troops in North China, and the Kwantung Army were almost all drawn, and they were all invested in the bottomless cave of the Pacific by the Japanese base camp.

However, until the end, Japan could not fill the bottomless abyss of the Pacific Ocean.

Although the main Japanese divisions drawn from the Chinese battlefield have been trained for a long time and have been completely brainwashed by fanatical military ideology, Japan's weak industrial manufacturing foundation seriously restricted the firepower projection of the Japanese army.

After the combined naval fleet suffered heavy damage, the Japanese Army was always ravaged by American naval guns, bombers and heavy artillery clusters in the battle for various islands in the Pacific. With its strong industrial manufacturing foundation, the US military has the ultimate firepower projection capability

After three years of resistance, the US military gradually advanced to the doorstep of the little Japanese home. By the 33rd year of the Republic of China, the U.S. Air Force bomber group could take off from the air base on Mariana Island and directly bomb the main island of the little Japanese. The death knell of the little Japanese had already ringed.

According to the Allied forces' plan, the national army should also launch a counterattack in a timely manner and share the pressure.

However, what is shocking is that in the sequence of the National Army, except for the Chinese Expeditionary Force commanded by the American Stilwell, which was capable of counterattacking, except for the Eighth Route Army on the battlefield behind enemy lines, the New Fourth Army was capable of launching a small-scale counterattack and restoring some remote county towns. As the main force of the Anti-Japanese War, the National Army was completely unable to organize a counterattack.

From the U.S. Congress passed the Concession Act in the 30th year of the Republic of China to the 33rd year of the Republic of China, the U.S. government provided nearly one billion dollars of economic aid to the National Government in three years. However, what is shocking is that this huge aid of one billion dollars cannot help the National Army organize a decent counterattack.

What people don’t know is that at least 600 million of the billion-dollar financial aid was deposited by Song Ziwen in his personal name and the beast in his arms also won the throne of the richest man in the 1940s. It’s no wonder that the newly elected US President Truman would be angry and scolded after knowing the details. Chairman Chiang and senior bureaucrats of the National Government should all be thrown into prison.

The corruption of the Kuomintang or the National Government has reached an outrageous level. Therefore, when the Allied General Command asked the National Army to launch a counterattack from the Chinese battlefield, the National Army not only did not have the ability to counterattack, but even failed to defeat the Japanese army in the last wave of resurrection.

This is the jaw-dropping defeat of Henan, Hunan and Guangxi

As Japan retreated steadily on the Pacific battlefield, the maritime transportation channels connecting Southeast Asia and the island faced serious threats. In addition, the US bombers taking off from the air base in mainland China could bomb the Japanese mainland. Therefore, the Japanese base camp instructed China to condemn the commander-in-chief Okamura Yasuji to launch the Henan-Hunan-Guangdong Battle code-named "Operation 1".

Because the main intention of Operation No. 1 is to open up the mainland's transportation line, it is also called the mainland's opening of war.

From the 1933rd to October, after an August attack, the Japanese army captured one or all of Henan, Hunan, Fujian, Guangxi, Guangdong, Guizhou and other provinces, with a sweeping force, and more than 200,000 square kilometers of land were lost, and more than 60 million people became slaves of the country.

The National Government mobilized more than one million troops to participate in the war, and the casualties were as high as more than 600,000.

What is particularly outrageous is that among the 400,000 Japanese troops participating in the Battle of Henan, Hunan and Guangxi, there are not many veterans with rich practical experience. Most of the Japanese soldiers are industrial workers who have just been mobilized from China. Although these industrial workers had received military training when they were young, they have retired for many years.

It may not be believed that in the 33rd year of the Republic of China, among the Japanese soldiers on the battlefield, there were even teenage children and grandfather soldiers over 60 years old. After seven years of continuous consumption, the Japanese manpower was almost exhausted and they had no soldiers to conquer.

However, even when facing such baby soldiers and grandpa soldiers, the Kuomintang army was defeated in a terrible defeat

If we follow the normal logic, such a crushing defeat cannot be explained, because in the three years from the 30th to the 33th year of the Republic of China, the Japanese army did not launch a large-scale offensive operation on the Chinese battlefield. That is to say, before Okamura Yasuji launched Operation 1, the Kuomintang army had undergone three years of rectification training, and was strong and received a large amount of American equipment, and even its equipment level had surpassed that of the Japanese army.

Before the Battle of Henan, Hunan and Guangxi, the Kuomintang had an absolute advantage in military strength and firepower. Even in the air force that the Kuomintang had always been weak, Chennard's Flying Tigers also had an absolute advantage, and the Kuomintang was also defensive and combating, which really took up all the time, place and people.

If you have to find one disadvantage of the National Army, that is, the commander of the Japanese army, Okamura Yasuji, is several levels higher than Chairman Chiang, the commander of the National Army.

However, the National Army lost the situation under the premise of taking advantage of time, place and people, and was defeated miserably. One million well-equipped and well-trained National Army, facing the 400,000 lack of training and even lack of bones. It can even be said that the Japanese army was temporarily gathered together, but they were defeated.

Such results are absolutely incredible, but if you analyze them in a section, it is not surprising at all.

Because in the 33rd year of the Republic of China, as the US military advanced rapidly on the Pacific battlefield, even if they had no vision, even the idiotic person could see that Japan's defeat was a foregone conclusion and inevitable. Therefore, Chairman Chiang and senior generals of the Party and the State had no intention of fighting against Japan.

Where have Chairman Chiang and the senior generals of the Party and the country been thinking?
