Anti-Japanese activities in Chahar province have the same features as the Anti-Japanese activities in other parts of the country,but also have distinctive regional characteristics.Before the fall of Chahar province in September 1937,the Kuomintang general Feng Yuxiang,with the assistance of the Communist Party of China,established the Chahar people’s Anti-Japanese Allied Army to retake the four counties of Cha Dong.Soon,Feng Yuxiang was forced to disband the Anti-Japanese Allied Army because of the complex composition of the allied forces,financial constraints,isolation and helplessness,oppression of the Nanjing Nationalist Government,and the counterattacks of the Japanese and puppet troops.After the outbreak of the "July 7 Incident",the Nanjing National Government assigned Chahar Province to the Second Theater.Fu Zuoyi led the Seventh Army to fight against the Japanese army to recover the counties in the north and the south of Chahar province.It eventually defeated the enemy and Chahar province fell into the entire territory.After the fall of Chahar Province in September 1937,Japan quickly mobilized its troops to Chahar province.In Chahar Province,the "public-security strengthen movement" was implemented,the Three-Lights Policy was implemented,and a series of tragedies were created.To combat the Japanese and Puppet forces,the Chinese Kuomintang conducted guerrilla warfare and special work in Chahar province.At the same time,the Chinese Communist Party actively created the Anti-Japanese base in Chahar Province,led the people of all ethnic groups in Chahar Province to establish Anti-Japanese regime,and launched a guerrilla war against Japan.In August 1945,the Chinese Communist Party led the people of Chahar Province to the final victory of the Anti-Japanese war in Chahar Province.During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression,the Anti-Japanese activities carried out by the military and civilians in Chahar Province before and after the fall of Chahar Province were also markedly different.Before the fall of the armed forces,the Anti-Japanese activities of the military and civilian people in Chahar Province were mainly led by the Chinese Kuomintang;The main forces involved were the Chahar People’s Anti-Japanese Allied Army and the seventh army led by Fu Zuoyi;The combat methods were mainly large-scale regular wars,and part of the guerrilla warfare;The direct purpose of combat is mainly to regain the lost ground.After the fall of Chahar Province,the Anti-Japanese war against the Japanesse enemy of Chahar province was mainly led by the Chinese Communist Party.The Chinese Communist Party established a series of Anti-Japanese democratic regimes and anti-Japanese organizations in Chahar Province.While regaining the lost ground,the Chinese Communist Party tried to destroy the strategic supplies of the Japanese and Puppet Forces the the maximum extent,destroy its logistical forces,and cooperate with the front battlefield operations. |
