What does this sentence mean?

I don't know where the phrase "no Sichuan, no army" comes from, but according to a reliable statement, it comes from War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression. This is a very simple explanation that the Sichuan Army is brave in fighting and is a very important force in the China Army. Sichuanese who love tea and have the natural danger of Bashu, all kinds of data show that it is indeed "no Sichuan, no army."

And why there is a saying that "there is no army without Sichuan", you will know a few in the following four points.

1. On average, one in five War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression soldiers is from Sichuan. After the full-scale outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, more than 400,000 people of the Sichuan Army went to the front line to fight bloody battles. Since then, Sichuan has sent soldiers to the front every year, ranking first in the country. He Zhi, the former Minister of Military and Political Affairs of the National Government, clearly pointed out in his book Eight Years of Anti-Japanese War that Sichuan provided nearly 3 million soldiers, accounting for more than one-fifth of the soldiers recruited nationwide. Life and death on the battlefield are hard to say. During the Anti-Japanese War, 26,3991person died, 356,267 people were injured (mostly disabled), and 26,025 people were missing, with more than 640,000 people, accounting for about one fifth of the country.

Second, the determination of the Sichuan army to die. Sichuan has been plunged into civil strife for more than 20 years, which is the most frequent, largest and most harmful area in China. Many Sichuan troops went out to save 20 years of civil war. Therefore, when a national disaster occurs, most Sichuan troops go out to die, from generals to soldiers, they all make wills in advance and swear to serve the country to the death. The most famous is the "flag of death", with a few small lines written on the left and right: on the right: "I don't want you to be filial near me; I just want you to be loyal on racial issues. " Left: "The national disaster is approaching, and the Japanese aggressors are fierce. Every man is responsible for the rise and fall of the country. I want to serve, but I'm too old. Fortunately, I have a son, and I volunteered. Give a flag and always carry it with you. Wipe blood when you are injured and wrap yourself after death. Go ahead, don't forget your duty! "

Third, the Sichuan army accounts for a large proportion of the two parties in the country. The most obvious example is that among the top ten marshals in New China, four are from Sichuan. There is also the famous Sichuan Army "idiot teacher" Fan Shaozeng, who led the Sichuan Army to defeat the invading Japanese 22nd Division. There is also the Tengxian campaign in the Battle of Taierzhuang, and the king of Sichuan Army finally died.

Fourth, donate a lot of airplane meals and money when your conditions are not good. The grain planted on the land of a province met one-third of the demand in the Kuomintang-controlled areas, and donated more than ten planes and 500 million French francs. I can't fill my stomach, but I also take out the extra food and pay it to the public. Without these material support, China's army's war of resistance would be much more difficult.

Therefore, the phrase "no Sichuan makes no army" is very worthy of recognition, and we will not forget the blood of martyrs.
