Of course, the Japanese army will not ignore this kind of real problem, otherwise there would not be such a rare puppet army with such a large number later. It was precisely because the Japanese army saw that a large number of regular combat troops were being held back in order to suppress local resistance, so in order to solve the phenomenon of insufficient combat troops at the front, the senior officers of the Japanese base camp hoped to use the existing local troops to maintain their rule. However, there is a problem, that is, the existing personnel are limited after all, and how can such a large occupied area be maintained by relying on limited personnel. Therefore, the top brass of the Japanese army got along with a poisonous plan that was not clever but very effective -- using China to contain China. In fact, the so-called poisonous plan of the Japanese army was very simple, and it was not used less before the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japan, but it was only to support one or more pro-Japanese Han Jiān before. Now it is just to recruit local people to be responsible for the security of the occupied areas, and these recruited personnel are what we usually call "puppet army", "two devils", and "dog legs".

According to the jurisdiction of the puppet regime in the Japanese occupation zone, such as the "Nanjing National Revolutionary Army" and the "North China Public Security Army" were set up, and these battle sequences constituted the framework of the national puppet army command system, and the puppet regimes did not have the right to interfere with each other's puppet army activities, but Japanese officers had the right to dispatch puppet troops in any area at any time, which was also to ensure the absolute control of the Japanese army over all puppet armies.

According to historical records, in 1938, the number of puppet troops in China was about 78,000, and these people were mainly distributed in North China, mainly under the North China Security Army. However, in 1940, after Wang Jīngwei rebelled and established a new government, the number of puppet troops in China rose sharply to 145,000, and the number of puppet troops began to grow explosively after the Kuomintang implemented the slogan of "Saving the Country by Curves" during the year, allowing the commander of the National Revolutionary Army to "temporarily surrender in order to preserve strength" in the face of unfavorable war conditions. According to the statistics of China** after the end of the Anti-Japanese War, about 62 of the puppet army in China are former units of the National Revolutionary Army. Among them, in addition to some puppet troops stationed in the city to be responsible for maintaining public order in the occupied areas, most of the puppet troops were transferred to the anti-Japanese base areas in North China for "sweeping, and many of them participated in the massacre of civilians in North China." After Japan's unconditional surrender, according to the statistics of the Chinese side, the number of all puppet troops stationed in China except for the puppet Manchukuo is about 1.186 million, but there are also more than 2 million puppet troops in the widely circulated version. This number of puppet troops was almost equal to the number of Japanese troops in China, but it was the Japanese army that commanded the puppet army. According to statistics, China was the only country in World War II in which the number of puppet armies exceeded the number of invading armies, and the bizarre phenomenon caused by this ratio has always been a problem criticized by the Chinese after the war

Despite this, the combat effectiveness of the puppet army is indeed not very good, otherwise the Japanese army would not have to form so many puppet armies. Let's take the puppet army that Han Yunhua's department encountered in Saibei. Although there are quite a lot of people, these guys are really limited in their role until the real big war. The puppet army is ignored by some people, intentionally or unintentionally, and of course some of them are artificial, but this is not the reason why the combat effectiveness of the puppet army is underground. Some people do not recognize that the puppet army is part of the aggressor, and even say that "the puppet army is Chinese", of course, in that era, everyone shouted to unite all forces that could be united, and there were no more than two reasons for this, one was goodwill, and there was the meaning that "Chinese should not fight Chinese". The other is malicious, and even disgusted with the GD anti-puppet army, of course, everyone knows this point of view.

It's not to belittle the combat effectiveness of the puppet army, the combat capability of the puppet army is really not good, it's okay when fighting with the Japanese, although many times the Japanese use the puppet army as cannon fodder, but after all, there is such a backbone or supervisor, and the combat effectiveness of the puppet army is okay. But if the puppet army is fighting alone, then this puppet army really can't be used as an army. Although there is some exaggeration, it has happened in real times, and more than once.

Although it is said that the combat effectiveness of the puppet army and the Japanese army is 1:10, it is suspected of beautifying the Japanese race, but it can reflect the incompetence of the puppet army and the strength of the Japanese army. Of course, this kind of remark does have the suspicion of beautifying the Japanese army, and it is true that the Japanese army's combat effectiveness is very strong, especially at the beginning. However, there is a profound historical reason for this, which is influenced by national strength, not the fault of a certain person or a certain force. Japan's invasion of China was premeditated, and in order to realize this long-planned plan, the Japanese trained a large number of troops at their expense. It is no exaggeration to say that if China wins the Sino-Japanese First Sino-Japanese War, even if the two sides take a step back and make peace, then the Japanese government will have to go bankrupt. It is a pity that the Chinese lost that war, not only lost the war, but also lost the national fortunes of the Great Qing Kingdom and the entire Chinese nation for half a century. ,

It is said that each soldier has to shoot 50 rounds of ammunition per month, what is the concept of 50 rounds of ammunition, let's put it this way, during the Long March, and even when it came to the War of Resistance against Japan, the basic ammunition of each soldier of the Eighth Route Army was five bullets, and the little devil used it for training every day was ten times the base ammunition of the Eighth Route Army. Moreover, the good weaponry of the Japanese at that time was obvious to all; Soldiers are well coordinated with weapons and equipment; Strong willpower. Therefore, 1 Japanese soldier at the place of the war can be worth 3 or 5 people in the squadron. However, it should be noted that after the expansion of the war, the size of the Japanese army increased by no less than 10 times. A large number of people who have not undergone systematic training, and even the old, weak, sick and disabled have gone to the battlefield, and their average strength has naturally declined.

Of course, there is no doubt that the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army is still stronger than that of our army. So we have to ask where is the strength? Personally, I think the main thing is willpower, and secondarily weaponry. The squadron, except for the regular army of the Eighth Route Army, the other troops are seriously fleeing, and the Japanese army itself is heavily influenced by the god of bushido, and it is inconvenient to flee when they come to China to fight, so their willpower is obviously stronger than that of our army. Judging from the situation of the battle in Burma, because it is inconvenient for our army to flee and the equipment is good, it can basically be 1:1 with the Japanese army. Therefore, the average combat strength of the Japanese army, in terms of hard power, is about 1.5 to 2 times that of our army, and the miscellaneous army of our army is slightly weaker, and the lineage is slightly stronger; the main gap is willpower, due to the old Jiang Zheng's passivity in the War of Resistance, the exclusion of miscellaneous troops, the lack of care for soldiers, and corruption, our army's willpower to fight against Japan is surprisingly poor. The fundamental reason for the defeat of Yuxianggui in 44 years is willpower. A
