The Restudy Of The Zhejiang–jiangxi Campaign In 1942

The Zhejiang-Jiangxi Campaign in 1942 was the only major battle with Zhejiang as the main battlefield among the 22 general battles in the Anti-Japanese war.The course,significance and influence of the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Campaign have been studied deeply in the academic circles.Relatively speaking,the existed studies are less concerned with the general overview of the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Campaign from multiple perspectives(at least the Chinese side,the Japanese side and the third side),the germ warfare of the Japanese army,the war losses of the Chinese side,and the war reflections of all sides.In addition,in the use of historical materials,there is also great room for the comparative use of multiple historical materials,especially the Japanese historical materials collected by the Japan Center for Asian Historical Records,the Chinese historical materials collected by the Second Historical Archive of China and Taipei Academia Historica,as well as Zhejiang newspapers.The combination of multiple perspectives and multiple historical materials makes it possible to restudy the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Campaign.First of all,the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Campaign was a huge loss that China,especially Zhejiang,suffered for the Allied countries.On April 18,1942,the U.S.bombers of Doolittle bombed Tokyo,Nagoya and other cities in Japan.Then they landed in Quzhou,Zhejiang and other airports according to the original plan.The Japanese army,who suffered from the attack,became angry and vented their anger to Zhejiang,which accepted American pilots.Japan launched its unjust,inhuman and retaliatory aggressive war that lasted for more than three months.Zhejiang belongs to the third war zone.Under the unified deployment of the national government,the Chinese army in the third war zone actively resisted in Jinhua,Lanxi,Quzhou,Lishui and other places.Finally,because of the great disparity in military strength,it was temporarily defeated by the Japanese army.Secondly,the Japanese army used the bacteriological warfare in the ZhejiangJiangxi Campaign,and the Zhejiang-Jiangxi governments made great efforts to prevent and control the plague.From the beginning of the campaign to the end of thecampaign,bacterial troops carried out bacterial attacks from point to surface,which caused great physical and mental damage to the residents of Zhejiang and Jiangxi areas.The large-scale plague attack made the area fight hard after the battle.In Lishui,Guangfeng,Shangrao and Quzhou,measures such as cities lockdown,isolation and lime disinfection were taken to effectively curb the spread of plague.Plague prevention is of great significance.Thirdly,Zhejiang and Jiangxi suffered great retaliation from the Japanese army for the Allied forces.In the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Campaign,the Japanese army destroyed,robbed and burned the cities.At the same time,the people was slaughtered.All of this brought great disaster to the people of Zhejiang and Jiangxi.Through the quantitative statistics of civilian casualties and property losses,the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Campaign caused at least 203256 civilian casualties and 150.2 billion French coins loss.Finally,the propaganda war and self-criticism of Zhejiang-Jiangxi Campaign.For the Zhejiang Jiangxi campaign,the Japanese and puppet authorities carried out crazy advocacy,trying to crush China psychologically and kill the will of AntiJapanese forces.On the other hand,the national government made a more in-depth review of the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Campaign in order to learn from it and win the victory in the future campaign.From the perspective of nationalism,the Chinese media in wartime commented on the war between Zhejiang and Jiangxi with the tone of "disparaging Japan and praising China",so as to stimulate the people's psychology of Anti-Japanese war.It should be said that no matter the false propaganda of the Japanese puppet government,the self-criticism of the national government,or the nationalist narration of the Chinese media,they are all due meanings beyond the war situation and the war situation in the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Campaign.In a word,through the restudy of multiple perspectives and historical materials,this paper holds that the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Campaign is not only a history of Japanese aggression and Chinese Anti Japanese war based on nationalism and egoism,but also a history of fascist aggression and Sino-US alliance Anti-fascism based on internationalism and humanitarianism.The Japanese army retaliated China for the US air attack,planned to launch the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Campaign and imposed air attack.Conventional war,inhumane germ warfare and war atrocities were saw in the campaign.Japan advocated the results of the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Campaign in the propaganda war in order to hoodwink their people's "hearts" and realize the dream of expanding the war.The Chinese army and people rose to the war of resistance,no matter in the front battlefield of the third war zone,or in the face of the active prevention of plague;no matter they suffered heavy losses in the war,or they reviewed the gains and losses of the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Campaign,they all showed the image of the war of resistance and the Anti-Japanese "people's heart" under the description of nationalism.The Japanese army launched the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Campaign,which proved once again the cruelty of fascism.It also proved that the Chinese made a great contribution to the World Anti-Fascist War.
