This year marks the 60th anniversary of the victory of China people in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the victory of the world anti-fascist war. May 9 is the Victory Day of the European Anti-Fascist War. September 3rd is the anniversary of the victory of China people in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the victory of the world anti-fascist war. On May 9, some countries held various commemorative activities to celebrate the grand festivals of all peace-loving countries and people in the world. We pay high tribute to the people of many countries who gave their lives for human peace and justice in this war, and express our deep condolences to the innocent victims killed by fascism all over the world.
The world anti-fascist war more than 60 years ago was a life-and-death struggle between justice and evil, light and darkness in human history. In order to realize their ambition of dominating the world, German, Italian and Japanese fascists brazenly launched a war of aggression, massacring, plundering and persecuting people in more than 60 countries, which brought great disasters to the whole world and unprecedented havoc to human civilization. In the face of evil fascist forces, peace-loving forces all over the world unite, support each other and fight side by side, which has dealt a heavy blow to fascist aggression and expansion. After years of bloody fighting, we finally won the great victory of the world anti-fascist war and wrote an indelible glorious chapter in human history.
In the east of the world, the people of China first raised the anti-fascist banner and launched the arduous War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression. This is a just war for the people of all ethnic groups in China to resist Japanese aggression and strive for national liberation. China * * * Production Party is the mainstay of national unity in the Anti-Japanese War. China, as the main battlefield in the East in the Second World War, lasted the longest, containing and fighting more than two thirds of the total Japanese forces, consuming most of the Japanese elite, and strategically supporting the anti-fascist wars in Europe, the Pacific and other parts of Asia. War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, the people of China, is an important part of the world anti-fascist war, and the people of China have made great national sacrifices and important historical contributions to the victory of the world anti-fascist war.
The world anti-fascist war is a great just war in human history, and its historical enlightenment to all mankind is extremely precious. Today, when we look back on this period of history, we should sum up experience and draw lessons, vigorously carry forward the national spirit with patriotism as the core and the spirit of the times with reform and innovation as the core, promote China's reform, opening up and modernization, safeguard world peace, promote common development and create a happy life and a bright future for mankind.
Peace and justice are invincible. In the long river of history, although factors that threaten world peace and undermine world stability inevitably exist, the pursuit of peace and justice is always the fundamental interest and common aspiration of all mankind. No matter how rampant fascism is, the world belongs to the people of the world after all, and China is the China of the China people after all. In front of the people who love peace, pursue justice and unite as one, any forces that cause historical retrogression will eventually be defeated.
Only by taking history as a mirror can we face the future. The fascist war of aggression not only brought profound disasters to the people of many countries in the world, including the people of China, but also caused great harm to the people of all countries that launched the war of aggression. To correctly understand and treat history, we must put our reflection on the war of aggression into action and never do anything that hurts the feelings of the people of those countries that have been hurt. The remembrance of the past is the teacher of the future Only in this way can we win the trust of the international community.
If you lag behind, you will be beaten, and development will be strong. Looking back on China's modern history and examining the current world reality, we have a deeper understanding that only with national unity, people's unity, social stability, economic development and national strength, can the people of China have dignity, the Chinese nation can maintain long-term stability and make contributions to world peace and development. We should always bear in mind that development is the top priority, adhere to a comprehensive, coordinated and sustainable Scientific Outlook on Development, insist that nothing can be done without a stable social situation, and uphold the fundamental interests of the overwhelming majority of the people as the starting point and the end result of all our work, adhere to the path of peaceful development, firmly grasp and make good use of the important strategic opportunity period, and concentrate on construction and development wholeheartedly.
In modern history, the people of China have suffered humiliation and bullying. They are well aware of the value of peace and stability and cherish their long-term struggle for independence. The people of China adhere to the path of peaceful development, and China is a staunch force for safeguarding world peace and promoting common development. History has proved, and will continue to prove, that all peace-loving countries and people have the ability to drive the invaders out of their own land, end all forms of oppression and slavery, and achieve peace and development through hard work. Let's closely unite around the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Hu Jintao as the general secretary, hold high the great banner of Deng Xiaoping Theory and Theory of Three Represents, work hard with one heart and one mind, and work hard to build the motherland into a prosperous, strong, democratic and civilized socialist modern power, and safeguard world peace and promote common development!
The battlefield of China in the anti-fascist war
The facts are the most convincing. The objective reappearance of China people's arduous War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression can arouse the world's more comprehensive understanding of China people's War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression's position and role in the world people's anti-fascist war, and it is also the most powerful response to all kinds of people who hold the theory of "belittling and obliterating" and their performances.
For a long time, the great national sacrifice and decisive contribution made by the people of China to resist Japanese aggression have been ignored or despised by the international community. This paper proves with conclusive historical facts that the people of China took the lead in raising the anti-fascist banner in the world, that the battlefield of China was the main battlefield of the anti-fascist war in the East of the world, and that the people of China were the decisive force in defeating Japanese fascism. Without China's long-term attack and consumption on Japanese fascism, no matter whether Soviet troops sent troops to Northeast China or the United States dropped atomic bombs on Japan, they could not defeat Japanese fascism. The sacrifices and contributions of the people of China should be recorded in the modern history of the world.
This year marks the 60th anniversary of the victory of the world people's anti-fascist war, and May 8th marks the 60th anniversary of Germany's unconditional surrender. The great victory of the world people's anti-fascist war is of great significance and far-reaching influence. This is a major turning point from war to peace in the world history of the 20th century. War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression of China made great contributions to the victory of the world anti-fascist war. However, academic circles, especially international academic circles, have not fully realized the significance of China's anti-Japanese war. Many foreign works on the history of World War II made little or no mention of China's anti-Japanese war, and "belittling theory" and "obliterating theory" prevailed. From the perspective of the interaction between the world anti-fascist war and China and War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, this paper examines War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression of China people from the perspective of the world people's anti-fascist war, and realistically evaluates War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression of China.
China and War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression are an important part of the world anti-fascist war.
First of all, China opened the world's first anti-fascist battlefield.
193 1 year, Japanese militarism launched the "September 18th Incident", which started the war of aggression against China and kicked off the fascist war of foreign aggression. It was from September 18th that China's soldiers and civilians started the great War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, which opened the prelude to the world anti-fascist war. China and War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression went through two stages, from partial resistance to total resistance. In the extremely sinister and difficult domestic and international environment, the people of China first started the struggle against fascist aggression; In the east of the world, it has opened up the first battlefield of the international anti-fascist war and shouldered the historical responsibility of resisting Japanese fascist aggression.
Secondly, China and War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, with a large scale and a long time, have become the main battlefield of the world's anti-fascism. China independently undertook the heavy responsibility of the world anti-fascist war for several years.
1937, Japanese fascists launched the July 7th Incident, and started a full-scale war of aggression against China, and China also started a full-scale war of resistance, marking the outbreak and beginning of the world anti-fascist war in the eastern battlefield.
Under the active advocacy, promotion and leadership of China's * * * production party, China quickly formed an anti-Japanese national united front of the whole nation, and launched a protracted war in which the frontal battlefield cooperated with the battlefield behind enemy lines. Frontal battlefield against the Japanese army 22 times, big battle117 times, small battle 3893 1 time. In the vast battlefield behind enemy lines, a large number of anti-Japanese base areas were created, and a hundred regiments of battles and local counterattacks were carried out. China not only independently assumed the world anti-fascist responsibility for several years, but also nailed the main force of the Japanese fascist army to the battlefield in China. 194 1 Before the outbreak of the Pacific War, China was the only battlefield against Japanese fascism, which withstood 80% of the total Japanese forces. After the outbreak of the Pacific War, China remained the main battlefield against Japanese fascism, fighting more than 50% of the Japanese troops.
Third, the China people's anti-Japanese battlefield is an important strategic pillar and rear base of the anti-fascist allied forces in the Asia-Pacific region.
The battlefield in China plays an important role in American military strategy. China's protracted war of resistance is one of the prerequisites for the United States and Britain to formulate and implement the strategy of "Europe first, then Asia". The battlefield in China is also an air base for the allied forces to fight against Japan and an important base for counterattacking and attacking Japan. China invested 300,000 troops in Myanmar's aid, which lasted for more than three years. Anti-Japanese War with the Allied Forces opened the Sino-Indian Highway, saved the crisis of the Allied Forces in Southeast Asia, laid a solid foundation for the Allied Forces to recover Myanmar, and made the battlefield in China an important strategic pillar of the Allied Forces in the Asia-Pacific region.
Only from the above three basic aspects, we can clearly see and eloquently explain that China's people's war of resistance against fascism is closely linked with the world's people's anti-fascist war, and China's war of resistance against fascism is an indispensable and extremely important part of the world's anti-fascist war. China's strategic position in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression is extremely important and should be highly valued by the academic circles.
The Chinese nation has made great national sacrifices and contributions to the victory of the anti-fascist war.
China is one of the four major countries in the world anti-fascist war (China, the United States, the Soviet Union and Britain) and the main country in the eastern battlefield against Japanese fascism. As the decisive force to defeat Japanese fascism, China's anti-Japanese soldiers and civilians have made great national sacrifices and indelible great contributions to winning the final victory of the world anti-fascist war.
The opening of the anti-Japanese battlefield in China and the anti-Japanese struggle of the China people delayed the opening of the European battlefield, postponed the full-scale outbreak of the Second World War, and won precious time for the world anti-fascist countries to fully prepare.
China's all-out fight against Japanese fascism disrupted the plan of Japanese fascism to expand northward to the Soviet Union and southward to Southeast Asia, aborted the "northward plan" and hindered the southward plan. The Japanese fascist army fell into the "quagmire" of China's protracted war, which slowed down the pace of aggression, disrupted the plans and aggressive actions of the Axis countries of Japan, Germany and Italy, and won preparation time for Britain, the Soviet Union, the United States and other large countries and regions.
War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, the heroic soldier and soldier of China, provided strong support for Soviet troops to fight against Germany and defeat German fascists.
194 1 in June, the German fascists attacked the Soviet Union, and the Soviet-German War broke out. The Hundred Regiments War on the battlefield in China dealt a heavy blow to the Japanese army, but the concentrated forces swept through the base areas, containing more than two-thirds of the army troops. The Japanese fascists could not carry out the plan of "marching northward" and attacked the Soviet Union with Germany. The Soviet Union was relieved and deployed a large number of troops from the eastern front to support the western front, with a total strength of 540,000, which effectively supported the western front's war against Germany. The Soviet army avoided the passive situation of being attacked between Scylla and Charybdis and fighting on two fronts, quickly won the battle to defend Moscow, won the bloody battle in Stalingrad in February of 1943, and finally won the final victory against German fascism in May of 1945. What would happen if China could not stop nearly 2 million Japanese troops and Germany and Japan attacked the Soviet Union from east to west? Zhukov, a famous historian and academician of the Soviet Union, did say: "During the Second World War, one of the reasons why Japanese imperialism did not dare to attack the Far East of the Soviet Union was the heroic struggle of the China people and their People's Liberation Army, the Eighth Route Army, the New Fourth Army and a large number of guerrillas. They tied the hands and feet of the Japanese army in China. Therefore, the people of China have given great help to the Soviet people, and the Soviet people have waged a great struggle in the just Great Patriotic War against German fascist aggression. " The Soviet Union's History of the Great Patriotic War wrote: "Although Japan occupied a large area of China, the war also caused a serious economic crisis to Japan ... which contained a considerable number of Japanese troops." "The just war in China led by the Communist Party of China (CPC) played an important role in the Second World War." When Stalin sent a military delegation led by former Soviet Marshal Cui Kefu to China at the end of 1940, he said to Cui Kefu, "Only by tying the hands and feet of the Japanese aggressors can we avoid fighting on two fronts when the German aggressors attack our country." In fact, it was the battlefield in China that bound the hands and feet of the Japanese army, saved the Soviet Union from being hit, and ensured the victory of the Soviet Union in its war against Germany.
Churchill and Stalin put forward: "Imitate China" and learn from China.
American President Roosevelt knew the important role of China battlefield in the Pacific battlefield. He once famously said to his son, "Without China, if China was defeated, how many Japanese soldiers in divisions could be transferred to other areas to fight?" ? They can immediately capture Australia and India ... and they can rush to the Middle East at any time ... and cooperate with Germany to hold a large-scale counterattack, meet up in the Near East, completely isolate Russia, annex Egypt, and cut off all communication lines to the Mediterranean. "The strategic containment position of China battlefield also shows the indispensable position and role of China battlefield in the global anti-fascist war strategy. In this regard, Roosevelt objectively commented in June 1945 1: "We can't forget how the people of China resisted the Japanese barbaric attack and contained a large number of enemy troops in a vast area of the Asian continent for seven years. "
1940 After August, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill put forward the slogan of "imitating China" in order to encourage the British people to resist Japan. 194 1 in June, when the Germans arrived at the gates of Moscow, Stalin also put forward the slogan of "imitating China" to inspire the Soviet people's morale against the enemy. The persistence of China's soldiers and civilians in the Anti-Japanese War has become a model for big heads of state to learn and follow.
On the eve of the Pacific War, the Japanese fascist military headquarters made a plan to join forces with the Germans, that is, the Japanese army occupied Singapore, the navy marched into the Indian Ocean, and joined forces with the Germans from North Africa and Central Asia. If such a plan is successful, it will be a fatal blow to Britain and will also affect the outcome of the world anti-fascist war. In this regard, Prime Minister Churchill said: "When China collapses, at least 15 divisions of the Japanese army will be liberated, and perhaps 20 divisions will be liberated. It is indeed possible to invade India on a large scale afterwards. " "If China stops resisting, we will face great difficulties."
China's Anti-Japanese War played a great role in containing the Japanese army, delaying Japan's "southward advance" and smashing Japan's plan to join hands with Japan and Germany, which was praised by the heads of big countries. Moreover, in the world anti-fascist war, the Indian army directly undertook the task of attacking northern Myanmar and opening the China-Myanmar highway. Liu, commander of the Chinese Army, raided the Japanese army in yenangyaung and rescued more than 7,000 British troops who were besieged and ready to surrender. This is a well-known story. China's elite troops counterattacked the north, which opened up a new battlefield to destroy Japanese fascism and accelerated its demise. The Indian troops stationed in China and the Chinese Expeditionary Force fought back in northern Myanmar and western Yunnan, recovering more than 50 towns in one fell swoop, which dealt a powerful blow to the effective strength of the Japanese invaders in Myanmar, made great contributions to the final recovery of Myanmar and the victory of the world anti-fascist war, and wrote an extremely glorious and immortal chapter in the history of the people's anti-fascist war in the world.
