The War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression is referred to as the In this 14-year-long national catastrophe, our sons and daughters of China have united their hearts and minds, feared no sacrifice, and used their own flesh and blood to deal a devastating blow to the Japanese aggressors.
According to relevant data, in the 14 years from the "918" incident to Japan's surrender, a total of 104 Japanese general-level officers were killed by Chinese anti-Japanese soldiers and civilians, including 4 major generals, 37 lieutenant generals, and 62 major generals. These Japanese soldiers are the culprits and executioners of Japan's invasion of China and the massacre of the Chinese people, and they will forever be nailed to the column of shame of history. No matter how many Japanese monks pray for them, they can't reduce their sins!
In the frontal battlefield, the Chinese army dealt a heavy blow to the Japanese army, of which more than 30 Japanese lieutenant generals and major general officers were killed by our army. (Here are just a few examples)

Because the main force of the brigade participated in the Battle of Yichang, Tengtang Gaoying had no troops to send, so he had to personally lead a thousand people guarding Jiujiang to rush to the rescue. When it reached the outskirts of Ruichang City, it was suddenly ambushed by the main force of the Nationalist army, and the Japanese army was caught off guard, hastily confronted the battle, and was immediately annihilated.

Among them, more than 10 Japanese general-level officers were killed by our anti-coalition fighters.

(Watanabe was the first Japanese lieutenant general to die on the battlefield in China.) ）

Hosoya, the butcher, captured countless ordinary people from the local area and sent them to repair the project. As soon as the project was completed, all the laborers were buried alive. Countless Chinese were killed, and the local people hated the grain to the bone. On December 19, 1942, the Japanese military project in the north collapsed, and the project was in a hurry. The small valley that lived in the county town did not care about the danger, and called two guards on horseback to go on the road. After the local people Wang Mancang discovered the whereabouts of Xiaogu, he hurriedly reported it to the Northeast Anti-Japanese League. Just as the three of them were marching to Xin'antun on the Nehe River (now Xin'antun in Liuhe Town, Nehe City), they were shot and killed by anti-Coalition fighters who were ambushed in the snow.

Hongkou Park assassinated Japanese Army General Yoshinori Shirakawa: Shirakawa Yoshinori was the leading figure of the hardliners in the Japanese military circles against China, and under his protection and support, the Japanese army invading China committed adultery and murder everywhere in China, doing everything. Among them, the indiscriminate bombing of Downtown Shanghai in the "Jinan Massacre" and the "Battle of Songhu" that shocked China and foreign countries was even more due to its single-handed planning.
The person who has his eye on Shirakawa Yoshinori is Wang Yaqiao. Wang Yaqiao, a cautious and assassination-savvy man, first fully understood Shirakawa's mode of action, and then contacted the Korean warrior Yoon Bong-gi to disguise himself as a Japanese with high explosives and blend into Shanghai's Hongkou Park, where the Japanese were holding a grand military parade.
At 11:40, just as the parade was at its climax, Yin Bongji threw the prepared bomb directly on the rostrum, and a violent explosion followed, and Shirakawa Yoshinori (army general) was directly disemboweled by shrapnel and killed on the spot. Japan's ambassador to China, Aoi Shigemitsu, was blown off a leg and left permanently disabled. Nomura Yoshizaburo, commander of Japan's 3rd Fleet, and many other senior military and political officials were not "spared" and were all covered in color.

The plane of Lieutenant General Tsuyoshi Izumi, deputy chief of staff of the Kwantung Army, was shot down by the Chinese Air Force. (Due to space limitations, I won't go into detail here.) ）
