Seeing that some netizens regretted not bombing the Japanese Imperial Palace, Wang Liang stood up and said: "The Japanese Imperial Palace was bombed, and on April 13, 1945, part of the Japanese Imperial Palace and the palace were burned, and the Meiji Shrine was burned down. ”
Of course, the Japanese Imperial Palace has been bombed, how can such a Japanese place be spared?
"At that time, there were also areas that were exempted from bombing, such as the Anglican Church, the University of Tokyo and the Salvation Army. Oh, the Salvation Army is not a force, it is an international religious and charitable organization. Wang Liang said.
During the U.S. bombing, many Tokyo citizens fled the city.
The US planes also dropped warning leaflets informing them of the targets of the next bombing, which made the Japanese even more frightened.
In Tokyo alone, millions of people have fled to the countryside, and factory workers are attending less than half the attendance rate of what it used to be.
The bombing of Tokyo and other cities paralyzed Japan's wartime economy.
"In the early morning of 9 May 1945, a bombing formation consisting of more than 300 B-29 bombers came to Tokyo again, each carrying six tons of incendiary bombs, flying at low altitude along the Tokyo's East Sumida River, bombarding them in turn for two and a half hours, dropping all the bombs on densely populated areas, and completely burning everything on the ground over an area of 56 square kilometers."
Wang Liang recalled: "I didn't fly the bomber at that time, but I witnessed this moment on the bomber as the co-pilot, and I remember that the bombing mission was completed, and we had already flown over the Pacific Ocean 250 kilometers away, and we could still see the skyrocketing fire when we looked back." ”
What Wang Liang expounded was an objective fact.
But the words are full of excitement.
In fact, several fires burned for four days before they were slowly extinguished.
Tens of thousands of people died not by burning, but by suffocation due to burning out of oxygen, especially the Japanese living in low-lying areas.
Of course, in Wang Liang's view at that time, all of this was karma.
Your armies do whatever they want in my country, burning, killing, plundering, and doing all kinds of evil.
Well, that also gives you a taste of the destruction of your home.
Wang Liang feels that the Americans have done a very good job in this regard.
When the narrow road meets, the brave wins.
If you fight, you will be beaten to the point that you are afraid of labor and management in your bones.
When you hear the name of the labor, I shudder.
Miserable.
Those who were on fire and deprived of oxygen rushed to jump into the river to survive, and as a result, the Sumida River was filled with corpses as black as charcoal.
People scramble to take refuge in the sturdy Meijiza Theater, where the bodies of the suffocated bodies are stacked two meters on top of each other.
At that time, the Japanese air force and air defense forces had been destroyed, and the American planes were left uninhabited.
In addition, there are only nine doctors and 11 nurses left in the government medical staff who remain in Tokyo, and they have completely lost their ability to provide ambulance.
In 1945, Japanese lives were worthless.
Just like the Chinese people who attacked Nanjing and suffered back then.
Wang Liang said: "The nightmare is far from over, at the end of May of that year, 500 B-29 bombers of the US military took off again and dropped 4,000 tons of incendiary bombs on residential areas in the north and west of Tokyo. ”
"Fires caused by fuel fell from the sky, and high-rise buildings floated in flames. Since then, Tokyo has become a dead city, there are no more good houses and healthy people to bomb, and the city has completely lost its bombing value. ”
By the time the Japanese emperor announced his unconditional surrender, the US Air Force had dropped 100,000 tons of incendiary bombs on Japan.
This does not include, of course, the three atomic bombs dropped at the end of August.
In a sense, Japan was bombed.
"I don't know why, whenever I talk about this, I have indescribable joy in my heart." Wang Liang smiled and shook his head.
Wang Liang said it well, and netizens naturally listened to it.
This is not a divine drama, it is all really blown up, who knows who hurts.
Walking and walking, I came to the Sichuan Army Anti-Japanese War Museum.
That's the big deal.
The Sichuan Army Anti-Japanese War Museum built in Sichuan Province.
The area of more than 2,000 square meters condenses the history of the Sichuan Army's Anti-Japanese War.
Under the guidance of Fan Jianguo, as soon as they entered the museum, Wang Liang and others saw a string of eye-catching numbers.
[3 000 000 Sichuan Army Goes Out of Sichuan to Resist the Japanese War]
[3 000 000 strong men go to the front]
It is no exaggeration to expound the historical facts that three million Sichuan troops went out of Sichuan to resist the war and three million strong men went to the front line.
Wang Liang spoke highly of it: "Although Sichuan Province was in the rear of the Anti-Japanese War at that time, it still provided such huge human resources to go to the front line to fight bloodily, and made a special contribution to the eight-year Anti-Japanese War. ”
Although the eight-year War of Resistance has been changed to a thirteen-year War of Resistance in recent years, Wang Liang is still accustomed to talking about the eight-year War of Resistance.
Because in Wang Liang's understanding, the War of Resistance is a battle to resist foreign aggression.
I have to admit that the design of the Sichuan Army Anti-Japanese War Museum has a unique flavor.
The exterior has a significant western Sichuan architectural style.
In terms of display methods, it also breaks through the design of traditional museums, and gives people a visual impact and enlightenment of patriotism by using a variety of artistic means such as restoration scenes, sand table models, sculptures, paintings, reliefs, and multimedia projections.
Many netizens asked Wang Liang to tell the history of the Xiachuan Army's Anti-Japanese War in detail, but Wang Liang refused.
It's not that Wang Liang doesn't want to talk about it, it's that Wang Liang feels that he is not qualified to talk about it.
That's three million Sichuan soldiers, that's three million patriots, Wang Liang feels that he is not qualified.
couldn't help the chatter of netizens, Wang Liang said: "Then I will introduce you to a person, a person I know and I admire very much." ”
"He is Master Wang Mingzhang." Wang Liang didn't sell it, and directly reported his name.
In 1938, Wang Liang had been by the side of Master Wang Mingzhang for a period of time, so his impression was particularly deep.
Wang Liang felt that Commander Wang Mingzhang was enough to represent the entire Sichuan army.
"The Battle of Taierzhuang, which changed the international view of the future of the Sino-Japanese War and the first defeat of the Japanese army in the war of aggression against China, has begun, and Wang Mingzhang, then the commander of the 122nd Division of the 41st Army of the 22nd Group Army of the Sichuan Army, was ordered to serve as the commander-in-chief of the front, commanding more than 5,000 officers and soldiers of the two divisions of the 41st Army to guard the ...... of Tengxian County."
At that time, Wang Liang's identity was still the National Revolutionary Army, and after the training of the officer training regiment in Nanjing, he was sent to the battlefield of Lu Province as the commander of the supervision team.
The Supervisory Combat Team, as the name suggests, is to supervise the combat units of the troops.
Supervise soldiers on the battlefield to prevent escape, and have the right to dispose of fugitive soldiers in case of desertion.
The Overseers of the National* Army wore armbands of Overseers on their shoulders, and forced their soldiers to advance on extremely unfavorable fronts, and the soldiers would be shot and killed by the Overseers from behind when they fled.
Chang Kaishen was not at ease with the Sichuan army, so he sent a team of supervisors.
