At the same time, the Allies also won decisive victories in the European theater.The Soviets and Germans fought fiercely at Stalingrad for half a year, and the Battle of Stalingrad finally ended with the complete defeat of Germany.In this unprecedented Armageddon, the German army lost hundreds of thousands of elite troops, and the once invincible German Third Reich collapsed and gradually went to extinction.After Li Guotao led the Seventh Corps to successfully recover Shanghai, after a period of rest, in the spring of 1943, he was ordered to go north and return to the northeast.At this time, the entire northeast region, except for the Liaodong Peninsula and other areas, was still under the occupation of the Japanese army, and the Japanese troops in the rest of the places had been wiped out.According to the current situation, the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army finally decided to launch a general offensive against the Japanese army on the Liaodong Peninsula in order to recover the Liaodong Peninsula and completely annihilate the Japanese army in the northeast.At that time, the Allied forces led by Britain and the United States also hoped to defeat Japan as soon as possible, so they repeatedly asked the Eighth Route Army to send the main force to launch an offensive on the Korean Peninsula and recover the Korean Peninsula, thus threatening the Japanese mainland.At the repeated requests of the Allies, the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army finally agreed to this strategic plan according to the situation at that time.In the summer of 1943, the weather became warmer, and after more than two months of preparation, the Northeast Military Region of the Eighth Route Army concentrated about 500,000 main forces and launched a fierce attack on the Liaodong Peninsula.After a week of fierce fighting, the Japanese army lost more than 60,000 troops, the Japanese defense line was completely broken, and hundreds of thousands of troops of the Eighth Route Army rushed to Dalian in two ways.The commander of the Japanese Korean Army, Kuniaki Koiso, was forced to decide to abandon the Liaodong Peninsula in light of the situation at that time.Because at this time the Liaodong Peninsula has been surrounded by the Eighth Route Army, the Japanese army on the Liaodong Peninsula can only get supplies by sea, and in the Pacific Theater, the Japanese Navy suffered heavy losses, and the Japanese Navy at this time has even been unable to ensure the safety of the sea route of the Liaodong Peninsula, and the large amount of supplies required by the Japanese army on the Liaodong Peninsula cannot be transported to the Liaodong Peninsula in time, and by this time, the Liaodong Peninsula has become a huge burden for the Japanese army, and now the war situation is unfavorable, and the Japanese army can only abandon the Liaodong Peninsula.Koiso Kuniaki mobilized all the ships that could be mobilized, and transported all the remnants of tens of thousands of Japanese troops on the Liaodong Peninsula to Korea by sea.The Eighth Route Army took the opportunity to recover Dalian, Lushun and other places in one fell swoop, and completely recovered the entire northeast region.There was another reason that forced Koiso Kuniaki to finally make up his mind to abandon the Liaodong Peninsula.At the same time as the main force of the Eighth Route Army attacked the Liaodong Peninsula, Li Guotao was ordered to lead the main force of the Seventh Corps with an army of about 500,000 troops, and successfully broke through the defense line of the Yalu River of the Japanese army.In order to keep Korea, Koiso Kuniaki could only abandon the Liaodong Peninsula, hoping to concentrate his forces to block the attack of the Seventh Corps of the Eighth Route Army.As we all know, Korea was originally only a vassal state of China.However, during the First Sino-Japanese War, the Qing government was defeated, and Korea was occupied by the Japanese army.Subsequently, Japan forced the decaying and declining Qing government to sign the Treaty of Shimonoseki, which was humiliating and humiliating, and was forced to cede Taiwan and the Penghu Islands and the Liaodong Peninsula to Japan.At that time, there was also an article in the Treaty of Shimonoseki, that is, the Qing government was forced to give up its suzerainty over Korea and recognize the independence of Korea.After the First Sino-Japanese War, Japan did not directly annex Korea, but supported the Korean royal family and established a puppet regime, and with the support of Japan, on October 12, 1897, the 26th king of the Joseon Dynasty, Lee Hee, Joseon Gojong, proclaimed himself emperor and changed the name of the country to "Korean Empire".The Korean Empire lasted for 13 years, and on August 22, 1910, South Korean Prime Minister Lee Wan-yong and Japanese representative Terauchi Masa-ki signed a treaty of merger between Japan and South Korea, stipulating that the Korean Empire would permanently cede sovereignty over the Korean Peninsula to Japan, and the Korean Peninsula became a Japanese colony.On August 29, 1910, with the entry into force of the Japan-Korea Merger Treaty, the Korean Empire fell to Japan.After the Japanese occupation of Korea, especially after Japan completely annexed Korea, a large number of Koreans who did not want to be slaves of the country went into exile in China, and continued to engage in the anti-Japanese struggle, hoping to get rid of Japanese colonial rule.It was not until after the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression that many Koreans participated in the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Army and even the Eighth Route Army to continue the anti-Japanese struggle.After the Eighth Route Army successfully recovered the northeast region, all these Koreans who were exiled in China were organized and reorganized into two divisions, and these two Korean divisions also entered the Korean war with the Seventh Corps.In addition, the Eighth Route Army also organized hundreds of guerrilla detachments composed of Koreans to secretly sneak back to North Korea to collect intelligence, sabotage railways, and mobilize the masses to resist Japan.At this time, the Eighth Route Army entered the Korean war, and these Korean guerrillas also provided great help.After Li Guotao led the Seventh Corps to break through the Yalu River, he went straight to Pyongyang.Koiso Kuniaki hastily mobilized 200,000 troops and fought a decisive battle with the Eighth Route Army in Pyongyang.After a week of fierce fighting, the 7th Corps of the Eighth Route Army recaptured Pyongyang in one fell swoop, killing more than 100,000 Japanese soldiers and capturing about 100,000 people, most of whom were Korean puppet soldiers.At this time, the main force of the Eighth Route Army had recovered the Liaodong Peninsula, and then sent 300,000 troops to quickly support the Korean battlefield.The Eighth Route Army fought fiercely with the Japanese army on the Korean Peninsula for a month, and finally annihilated all Japanese troops in Korea.In the end, with less than 30,000 remnants of his army, Koiso Kuniaki was defeated and withdrew to the Japanese mainland by sea.Subsequently, the Eighth Route Army began to actively prepare to mobilize the Japanese mainland in order to completely defeat Japanese imperialism.Although the Japanese navy was completely lost in the Pacific theater at that time, and the Eighth Route Army began to build its own navy, it took time to build a strong navy, so the plan to attack the Japanese mainland was repeatedly delayed.During this period, the Allied forces were also advancing on the European battlefield, and the Italian fascists and German fascists were defeated and surrendered one after another, leaving only Japan alone.Then, with the two loud bangs in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan, which had reached the end of the road, finally chose to be defeated and surrendered.The Second World War was thus completely over, the people of the world won a great victory in the anti-fascist war, and the Chinese people finally won a comprehensive victory in the War of Resistance against Japan.When the news came out, the whole country was boiling, and everywhere inside and outside the Great Wall, there was a sea of joy, and the people of the whole country celebrated this hard-won victory in various ways.End of book.aa2705221:
