Looking forward to the emperor's feelings, entrusted to the cuckoo
The poem of Miss Yulu reads,"The blood of the martyrs who quelled the rebellion dyed the Great Liangshan, and the cuckoo was seen red. The wheels of time turned quickly. In the blink of an eye, a hundred years passed. Every year, he recalled the history of China, and the humiliation of the Japanese pirates was engraved in his heart. Men with swords out of Sichuan, do not destroy the Japanese pirates vowed not to return. Why bury your bones in a mulberry field? There are cuckoos everywhere in the world! The common people of Shu dreamed of butterflies at dawn, and the feelings of Emperor Wang entrusted cuckoo.”" Hehe, you want the cuckoo to be famous all over Sichuan--" Miss Xiaoying and the goat-nosed male angel echoed. Miss Yulu sighed." I'm not being selfish. There's nothing to criticize. The biggest credit for China's victory in the war of resistance is actually the millions of Sichuan men. However, do we know the names of those iron-blooded men? No one cares about their heroic deeds.”Miss Yulu traveled through that unforgettable time again. My home was on the Songhua River in the northeast, where there were forest coal mines and soybeans and sorghums all over the mountains. My home is on the Songhua River in the northeast. My compatriots and my aging parents are there. 918, 918, from that tragic moment! 918, 918! "From that tragic time, I left my hometown and abandoned the endless treasures to wander! Wandering! All day long, he wandered in the pass! When will I be able to return to my lovely hometown? Which year and month would it take to retrieve that endless treasure?! Father and mother, father and mother. When would they be able to gather together?!------ The prologue to the song "My Home is on the Songhua River in Northeast China" was played.
The War of Resistance against Japan, which took place between 1937 and 1945, was the first national war in 100 years that the Chinese nation won a complete victory against foreign invaders. In this eight-year defense war to save the nation from danger, more than 3 million Sichuan and Chongqing soldiers stepped onto the front line of the War of Resistance against Japan without hesitation, bravely fighting against the Japanese and bathing in blood on the battlefield. The number of people participating in the war and the tragic sacrifice ranked first in the country.
From September 1937, the Sichuan army was ordered to march to the anti-Japanese front line in three ways.
The first group was led by Deng Xihou, the commander-in-chief of the 22nd group army. Chen Shunong, commander of the 45th Army, and Li Jiayu, commander of the 47th Army, set out from Chengdu and walked through the Sichuan-Shaanxi Road to Baoji. Then they went east along the Longhai Road, passed Tongguan, crossed the Yellow River, and entered Shanxi to fight against Japan.
The second group was led by Liu Xiang, the commander-in-chief of the 23rd Army. Pan Wenhua, commander of the 23rd Army, and Wang Zuanxu, commander of the 44th Army, set out from Chaodianmen Wharf in Chongqing, took a boat eastward along the Yangtze River, and then transferred to Xuchang and Zhengzhou through Hubei to participate in the defense of Nanjing.
The third route was led by General Yang Sen of the Sichuan Army, the 20th Army. They departed from Guizhou and headed directly to Shanghai to participate in the Battle of Shanghai.
The Sichuan Army that participated in the three battles had a total of 14 divisions and more than 200,000 people.
In addition, in the spring of 1938, Fan Shaozeng, the general of the Sichuan Army, with the support of Gu Zhutong, formed the 88th Army in Chongqing and went to the Third War Zone as the general reserve team. There was also the independent 35th Brigade, which was originally a strengthened brigade of the 20th Army of the Sichuan Army. Later, it was directly under the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs of the National Government. It was also ordered to go to the front line.
Sixty years ago, Sichuan's traffic was extremely backward. The Sichuan army went to the front line with many difficulties. At that time, although there were Yangtze River passages and Sichuan-Shaanxi Highways, there were very few vehicles and ships. The Sichuan army mostly walked out of Sichuan and traveled thousands of miles.
The equipment of the Sichuan army was very simple. Each soldier only had two pieces of coarse cloth unlined garment, a pair of leggings, a single quilt, a single mat, two pairs of straw sandals, and a bamboo hat. 80% of the rifles used were made in Sichuan and of poor quality. Each soldier was equipped with 30 to 50 bullets, two grenades, and a broadsword. Each regiment only had a few machine guns. Although the weapons and equipment were poor, the Sichuan army fought bravely in various battles and was not afraid of sacrifice. In particular, the vast number of soldiers were filled with national indignation and charged forward to serve the motherland. When the 20th Corps and 26th Division of the Sichuan Army participated in the Battle of Songhu, they were on a plain without any natural barriers to defend. The Sichuan army came from afar and rushed into the battle. They could not even build decent fortifications and relied on their flesh and blood to resist the enemy's attack.
The Japanese army dispatched planes, tanks, artillery, and warships. The artillery fire came from the ground, the air, and the sea. The Sichuan soldiers guarding the position were often destroyed by the enemy's artillery fire. " Our troops are sent to the battlefield one division after another every day. Half of them died in less than three hours, and two-thirds of them died in five hours. This battlefield is like a melting pot.”This was what Feng Yuxiang, the former commander of the Third Battle Area, had said.
The soldiers of the 41st and 45th armies wore unlined garments and walked barefoot from Chengdu for more than 2000 miles to the battlefield in Shanxi. Shanxi in November was already frozen in the north. The cold wind was bone-piercing. The soldiers were cold all over. They were holding an old-fashioned Sichuan-made rifle and the only grenade tied to their waists. They fought with the well-equipped Japanese army. The battle was very tragic. In March 1938, in the Battle of Taierzhuang, Wang Mingzhang, the acting commander of the 41st Army, was ordered to lead his troops to defend Teng County and block the enemy. The Japanese invaders used the tactics of air force, artillery, tank troops, and infantry to attack in turns. The Sichuan army desperately defended, and more than 3000 soldiers, including Wang Mingzhang, all sacrificed themselves for the country. As the Sichuan army defended Tengxian for three days and nights, they finally defeated the Japanese invaders 'attempt to reinforce Taierzhuang, so that the friendly forces could successfully complete the siege of Taierzhuang. In the Battle of Taierzhuang, the Sichuan Army fought with their allies, wiping out more than 10,000 Japanese troops, destroying more than 30 tanks, seizing more than 10,000 rifles and hundreds of machine guns. The Battle of Taierzhuang broke the myth that the Japanese army was invincible again after the Battle of Pingxing Pass.
Li Zongren, the commander of the 5th Battle Area who commanded the Taierzhuang Battle, pointed out,""If it weren't for the tough defense of Teng County, how could there be a great victory at Taierzhuang? The result of Taierzhuang is actually caused by the martyrs of Tengxian County! In the battle of Teng County, the Sichuan army fought against the enemy and did not hesitate to sacrifice a lot to stop the enemy from going south and complete the combat mission. It was the most glorious page in the history of the Sichuan army's war of resistance.”
After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, in addition to the seven group armies of the Sichuan Army, there were another army, division, and brigade with a total of more than 400,000 people who went to the front line to fight the Japanese invaders. Sichuan also sent 100,000 to 300,000 able-bodied men to the front battlefield every year, becoming the country's military base.
According to the statistics of the number of able-bodied men recruited by provinces over the years during the Anti-Japanese War, the number of able-bodied men recruited by Sichuan over the years is as follows:
103837 in 1973
174145 in 1938
296341 in 1939
266373 in 1940
344601 in 1941
366625 in 1942
352681 in 1943
391112 in 1944
283086 in 1945
In the eight years of the Anti-Japanese War, Sichuan recruited a total of 2578810 able-bodied men, ranking first among all provinces in the country, which was one-fifth of the number of able-bodied men recruited in the same period in the country. The number of recruits in Sichuan did not include the 30938 people recruited by the Xikang expedition and the more than 100,000 people recruited by the special forces and military schools. If these two figures were added, then during the Anti-Japanese War, the number of able-bodied men actually recruited in Sichuan was nearly 3 million (this number did not include the number of people recruited by the various army groups in Sichuan). Such a huge source of soldiers supplemented the army on the north and south battlefields, so that there was a saying that "no army without rivers" at the front line of the anti-Japanese war. It was enough to show the great contribution of the people of Sichuan and Chongqing to the anti-Japanese army.
During the eight years of the war, the soldiers who left Sichuan were not afraid of the strong enemies. They fought fiercely against the Japanese and made huge sacrifices to save the country from danger. According to He Yingqin's statistics, during the Anti-Japanese War, the number of casualties in Sichuan was about one-fifth of the country's total. That was, 263991 people were killed and 356267 were injured. There were 26025 missing people, a total of 640,000 people. Among them, there were 4 generals, 9 lieutenants, and 21 lieutenants, totaling 34 people. According to the order of military ranks of generals and schools, the names are hereby recorded and attached to the counties as follows:
Generals: Wang Mingzhang (Xindu), Li Jiayu (Pujiang), Xu Guozhang (Chengdu), Rao Guohua (Ziyang)
School officials: Wang Runbo (Kai County), Li Chenglie (An Yue), Lin Xianghou (Lu County), Yao Jie (Fengjie), Fu Zhemin (Jiang 'an), Zou Shaomeng (Rong County), Zheng Shaoyu (Qu County), Yue Yiqin (Lushan), Xie Beiting (Zhong County)

Li Jiayu personally wrote such a font. On May 21, 1944, Li Jiayu led the officers and soldiers of the group army headquarters to fall into the Japanese ambush circle at Qinjiapo. Under the intensive fire of the enemy, more than 200 officers and soldiers of the headquarters were all killed.

The day after the July 7 Incident broke out, Liu Xiang, the head of Sichuan Province, sent a message to Jiang and called for the whole country to "unite against Japan." Liu Xiang was sick and went to war. His subordinates advised him not to go out of Sichuan personally. He said,"In the past, we fought a civil war for many years, and our faces were not very glorious.
