During the War of Liberation, the Kuomintang army guarding a certain city in Northeast China was surrounded by the Northeast Democratic Alliance Forces. In order to win over Zhao Chongwu, the commander of the 369th Division of the Kuomintang's non-lineage force, the Democratic Coalition released the captured Zhao Chongwu's trusted group leader Zheng Hanchen and his wife, and promised to find their separated children on their behalf. Zheng Hanchen was deeply moved. But after he returned to the city, he was suspected by Qian Xiaozheng, chief of staff of the 203rd Division, a direct unit of the Kuomintang, which made him very disgusted. Soon, Mrs. Zheng was humiliated by a company commander of the 203rd Division. When the news came, Zheng Hanchen was furious and wanted to fight with the 203rd Division, but was stopped by Zhao Chongwu. Minister Jiang of the Democratic Alliance Army, thinking that Zheng Hanchen was sending his child away, went to the 369th Division's station in disguise and urged Zhao Chongwu to recognize the situation clearly and abandon the old and pursue the new. Although Zhao Chongwu had the intention to revolt, he had no determination.

Military bravery is the pillar of the country and an important guarantee for safeguarding national security.

There were many types of conscription systems in ancient my country, and there were changes in different periods, such as the system of combining soldiers and farmers, the system of all soldiers, the guard system, the flag soldier system, etc. The brave soldiers under the conscription system can be summoned when necessary, and they will return to the countryside. Their origin is clear, and the country has no expenses for raising troops in peacetime. Soldiers under the recruitment system regard soldiering as their profession, and their number and service time are not restricted by agricultural production.

The victory of the Second World War was also the victory of the anti-fascist war of the people of the world. It became a major turning point in human history in the 20th century. It ended an old period of war and turmoil and ushered in a new stage of peace and development. When we look back on history, we should not forget the destruction and disasters that the war has brought to us, as well as the heavy price paid by all countries and peoples in the world for victory.

War is a bloody politics, and the military occupies a particularly important position in the entire social and political life. In this regard, the ancients more than 2,000 years ago had a relatively clear understanding.

Throughout the 20th century, the "Decisive Battle of Destiny" could only be described as the "World War II". It was this war that created many classic battles, which are unforgettable and endlessly memorable. Over Britain, war eagles fight; on the Atlantic Ocean, wolves are rampant... Endless disasters make people unable to see the dawn and the sky is dark. In Moscow's Red Square, Stalingrad, and Leningrad, artillery fired and people resisted desperately. The world structure gradually changed during the war. From Sicily to Normandy, the Allied forces knocked on the door of the Nazis; from Kursk to the banks of the Elbe River, the Soviet Red Army won the battle. The Third Reich collapsed in smoke. From Midway to Iwo Jima, from the Philippines to Okinawa... There are traces of fighting between the two sides in every space on the sea, land and air.

This is an event that makes every Chinese proud of the War of Resistance Against Japan, and is also one of the outstanding contributions made by the Communist Party of China and the armed forces led by it. "Witness History in Details: The Anti-Japanese War" "The Hundred Regiments War" focuses on the background of the most difficult period of China's Anti-Japanese War - the Sino-Japanese confrontation situation in 1940, the characteristics of the international situation and China's domestic situation, to further highlight the significance of the Hundred Regiments War. The defeat of four battles on the frontal battlefield dampened the anti-Japanese morale of the Chinese people. Seeing that the possibility of victory in the Anti-Japanese War had greatly increased, Chiang Kai-shek believed that Japan would be defeated sooner or later and started to have old thoughts of anti-communism... Under this situation, the Hundred Regiment War broke the "cage", boosted morale, expressed determination, and repelled the Kuomintang's anti-communist attempts. The Hundred Regiment War was like a sword that cut through the "cage" of the Japanese army and the haze that shrouded the Chinese anti-Japanese army and people.

This is a topic that is familiar to every Chinese, but we still want to explore some mystery behind the incident. For this reason, "September 18th" in "Witness History in Details: The Anti-Japanese War" captures the 21 days of history before and after the incident, and through 38 detailed events and topics, strives to show the political struggle behind the incident at multiple levels and in an all-round way. You will see that although the occupation of Northeast China was Japan's established national policy, the outbreak of the incident was also the result of a complex game of various domestic political efforts in Japan; although the Nationalist Government's non-resistance policy has long been notorious, it was also inseparable from the national conditions at the time and the balance of power between China and Japan; although China and Japan were the protagonists of the incident and conflict, the posture of the international community and international powers at that time also greatly affected the course and end of the incident in a certain sense.

This book takes the three-year trial of Japanese war criminals by the Far East Military Tribunal as the main line. With 32 sub-shots, this book comprehensively reproduces the entire process of the Far East trial, fully demonstrating the theme that this is a victory for the people and a victory for justice. However, just like sunshine, there is always a shadow. While the Far East Trial clarifies the facts of the war and declares responsibility for war crimes, it is also inevitably affected by political factors, especially the impact of the upcoming Cold War. If the emperor's war responsibility is not investigated, the leader of Japan's Unit 731 is not a war criminal, etc. Etc., There are many "just regrets"; when you read that as the clouds of China's civil war are getting thicker, the Nationalist government is willing to sacrifice China's national interests to increase its bargaining chip to win the civil war, it makes people sad... Today, when people face the danger of the resurgence of Japanese militarism, it is especially worth reviewing this period of history.

Chiang Kai-shek was the supreme commander-in-chief of the Chinese army at that time. He mobilized troops and appointed Li Zongren as the commander-in-chief of the Fifth War Zone to plan the defensive battle on the Jinpu line; he ordered the execution of Han Fuju; he and Li Zongren and the senior officials on the Taierzhuang front line Senior generals maintained close telegraph contact; at the most dangerous moment in Taierzhuang, he visited the front lines in person; when the country was celebrating the victory of Taierzhuang, he sent a telegram to the whole country, warning the soldiers and civilians to keep a clear head and "don't be arrogant after hearing victory."
