Of course, for this kind of real problem, the army will not ignore it, otherwise there would not be such a rare puppet army with so many numbers later. It was precisely because of the fact that the army had pinned down a large number of regular troops for combat in order to suppress local revolts, so in order to solve the phenomenon of insufficient combat troops at the front, the senior officers of the base camp hoped to use the existing local soldiers 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, it is said that the military top brass has a poisonous plan that is not clever but very effective -- using China to contain China. In fact, the so-called poisonous plan of the Yue army is very simple, and it was not used less before the full-scale outbreak of the anti-Japanese war, but it was only to support one or more pro-Han annihilations 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 occupied area, 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 the officers had the right to dispatch the puppet army in any area at any time, and this was also to ensure the absolute control of the puppet army over all the puppet army.

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, after Wang Jingwei defected from the Nationalist Axe in 1940 and established a new political axe, the number of puppet troops in China rose sharply to 145,000, and during the period from 1942 to 1943, the Nationalist Axe implemented the slogan of "saving the country by curves", allowing the commander of the National Revolutionary Army to "temporarily surrender in order to preserve its strength in the face of unfavorable war conditions", and the number of puppet troops began to explode. According to China's statistics after the end of the Anti-Japanese War, about 62% of the puppet army in China were former National Revolutionary Army troops. Among them, in addition to some puppet troops stationed in the cities to be responsible for maintaining law and order in the occupied areas, the vast majority of the puppet troops were transferred to the [***] anti-Japanese base areas in North China to carry out "sweeps", and many of them participated in the massacre of civilians in North China. After the unconditional surrender of Benben, according to the statistics of the Chinese side, the number of all the puppet troops stationed in China except for the puppet Manchukuo was about 1.186 million, but there are also more than 2 million puppet troops in the widely circulated version. This number of puppet troops is almost the same as the number of the puppet army in China, but it is the puppet army that commands it. According to statistics, China was the only country in World War II where the number of puppet armies exceeded the number of invading armies, and the strange phenomenon caused by this ratio has always been a problem criticized by the Chinese after the war, but the combat effectiveness of the puppet army is indeed not very good, otherwise the 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 GCD's fight against the 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 I fight with myself, although many times I 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 army is 1:10, which is suspected of beautifying the race of the puppet army, it can reflect the incompetence of the puppet army and the strength of the army. Of course, this kind of remark does have the suspicion of beautifying the army, and it is true that the combat effectiveness of the army 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. He said that Ben's invasion of China had been premeditated for a long time, and in order to realize this long-planned conspiracy, he himself had trained a large number of troops at his own expense. It is no exaggeration to say that if China wins the First Sino-Japanese War, even if the two sides take a step back and make peace, then the political axe 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 bullets, 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 for training every day alone was ten times the base ammunition of the Eighth Route Army. Moreover, at that time, it was obvious to all that his weapons and equipment were good; Soldiers are well coordinated with weapons and equipment; Strong willpower. Therefore, 1 person of the army at the place of war can be worth 3 or 5 people of the middle [***] team. However, it should be noted that after the war expanded, the size of the 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 Chinese 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. In addition to the regular army of the Eighth Route Army, the other troops of the squadron were seriously fleeing, and the army itself was heavily influenced by the spirit of bushido, and it was inconvenient to flee to fight in China, so its willpower was 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 army. Therefore, the average combat strength of the army, in terms of hard power, is about 1.5 to 2 times that of our army, and our army's miscellaneous army is slightly weaker, and its descendants are slightly stronger; the main gap is willpower; due to the old Jiang Zhengaxe's negative resistance to war, the exclusion of miscellaneous troops, the lack of care for soldiers, and corruption, our army's willpower for fighting is surprisingly poor. The fundamental reason for the defeat of Yuxianggui in 44 years is willpower.
