To be honest, this article is an enlightening one, whether it is for Chinese, Japanese, or people from Western countries.
This article is a speech that Holy Land Yan-an gave at a research conference on the Anti-Japanese War in May this year.
So when this speech was published, China's War of Resistance Against Japan had already been going on for 10 months.
At this time, the soldiers and civilians across the country were fighting bloody battles for the survival of the nation, and were eager for an early victory in the war every day.
However, within these 10 months, cities such as Peiping, Tianjin, Taiyuan, Shanghai, and Nanjing fell one after another.
So how will the course of the war develop?
Can China achieve final victory, and how can it achieve victory?
How do you view the "theories of national subjugation" and "theories of quick victory" that have been circulating since the Anti-Japanese War?
Some people are thinking about these problems, and some are confused. If they cannot be solved for a long time, it will definitely be detrimental to the persistence of the long-term war of resistance.
Therefore, as soon as this article came out, it had a huge response inside and outside the party, and even later became the consensus of the leaders of the national and red parties and the army to lead the war of resistance.
Therefore, its publication was like clearing away the fog that shrouded people's heads, causing a huge sensation in Yan'an.
This article was soon mimeographed into a book, circulated within the party, and then spread to various base areas. It suddenly became a program for our party and army to build confidence and guide the war of resistance.
"On the protracted war, I took a look at it, but I didn't study it in detail, because those are all nonsense, so I haven't studied them in depth, and we have professional people to study these things, so I didn't pay much attention to it.
"Kurasuke Ueda replied without any hesitation.
For people like them, they must read this article which has such great influence in China.
After all, after Yan'an's speech, the Red Party decided to compile the speech and circulate it within the party. Then the article was immediately mimeographed into a volume.
However, the number of mimeographs was limited and many cadres could not see it, especially the frontline cadres, so the Red Party leaders decided to make it public and publish it.
So on July 1, 1938, this article was officially published in the 43rd and 44th issues (combined issue) of Yan'an's "Jie~Fang" magazine.
That month, the Yan'an Liberation and Liberation Society published a separate volume.
Well, this is published publicly.
Therefore, with the intelligence methods and meticulousness of the Japanese, they must have collected such newspapers and magazines, so they must have seen them, and the articles were written by the Red Party. The Japanese also attach great importance to these things, so
It is said that it will definitely be sent to the top brass in Japan.
But many people in Japan already firmly believe that China will definitely lose in this war between China and Japan.
Therefore, even if many Japanese people read this article, they will think it is nonsense or just trying to fool the world.
Therefore, Ueda Kurasuke didn't know what the "Mr. Li" in front of him meant when he said these things.
"That's really a pity. If Mr. Ueda had read this article carefully, then Mr. Ueda would not be so stubborn today." Levi shook his head gently, and then said to Kurasuke Ueda.
Sometimes, Li Wei also felt that this article was a huge conspiracy.
Because even if the Japanese read this thing, it would be of no use. Instead, it would only make them more upset.
After all, if someone suddenly jumped out and pointed at you and said, you only have a few years to live, what will you encounter in the future, what will you do, and then why will you die?
Then can you be happy?
And what he said is still true. Then you will only be unable to sleep even more, and you may not live for a few years.
Besides, in this world, it has always been easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality. Although after the Sino-Japanese War started, the Japanese basically gained great benefits in all the wars.
It is precisely because of this that they have become addicted to knocking on bones and sucking out marrow, and although they have not achieved their strategic goals, they have never lost much.
They even have huge advantages in the sea, land and air, and they are so arrogant, so how could they stop on their own?
Moreover, the wheels of history often have inertia. To stop or turn, it will cost countless lives and immeasurable time. And once it stalls, there is no need to think about it.
Even when this article was published, the little devil had already stalled and rushed to the edge of the cliff. It seemed that he still had several years to jump, but in fact he only had a few steps.
Therefore, anyone who stands in the way, even if they memorize this article backwards, will only be shattered into pieces.
"Oh, I'd like to hear the details." Kurasuke Ueda didn't hesitate, and then asked Li Wei.
"In this article, several reasons why you will fail are listed."
"First of all, you will gradually increase the number of troops. But why do you gradually increase the number of troops? This shows that you have underestimated the battlefield in China. It has increased from a dozen divisions to more than 30 divisions."
"You look down on us and think we are a piece of loose sand. You think that after you get the three eastern provinces, other places can be easily obtained. You think China is too easy to fight and you can destroy China in three months. As a result, you have not destroyed China yet.
Instead, it sinks deeper and deeper.”
"The second thing is that you don't have a main attack direction. At the beginning, the two troops attacking Central China and North China fought independently, each fighting in its own way, and basically had no contact with each other. It was not until after the defeat of the Taierzhuang Battle that the Japanese army realized that the two groups of troops
To interact.”
"And you don't know how to coordinate operations. When Chinese soldiers attack Japanese soldiers in central China, the Japanese in northern China do not respond or rescue, and vice versa."
"You are very mechanical and rigid, as if you have not prepared for war. This reflects from the side that you have great internal contradictions and it is difficult to mobilize."
"The second is the missed opportunity. Due to your underestimation, there was a long pause after capturing Nanjing and Taiyuan. Because the occupied land required a lot of troops to guard, there was no excess mobile troops to continue the attack. We could only wait for the mainland to send troops again.
, when you attack again, the Chinese soldiers have already reinforced the defensive front."
"Finally, in the battle before the Battle of Taierzhuang, you defeated the national army without taking large-scale prisoners. Therefore, this reflects the clumsiness of the Japanese invaders' military command from the side. The war machine is too heavy and difficult to operate.
