When Japan surrendered, how many Japanese troops were stationed in China?

1. How many troops did the Japanese army put into the battlefield in China during World War II?

1941When the Pacific War broke out on February 7, there were 730,000 troops in the Kwantung Army and 620,000 troops in China, making a total of 1.35 million.

When the Japanese surrendered, China sent 6.5438+0.05 million troops, and the Kwantung Army surrendered 680,000 troops to the Soviet Union, accounting for 6.5438+0.73 million troops.

The Japanese Army had 17 divisions before the July 7th Incident, and 156 divisions were formed during the war (including reorganization and other divisions, such as 108, 109, 165 and 438+04 divisions).

Among them, the local 1 General Army and the 2nd General Army have 53 divisions, 62 divisions (including the 56th division) before and after entering the battlefield in China, and 58 divisions before and after the Kwantung Army. A total of 120 divisions in China entered the battlefield.

According to the average of 35,000 people in Japan 1 division at that time, Japan invested 4.2 million people in the battlefield in China.

2. How many of them were used against the army of the National Government?

This question is hard to say, because the Japanese army was mobilizing at that time. Some of them fought against the Kuomintang and the Producer Party, and then they were transferred to Chinese mainland. This cannot be generalized.

According to the available materials, 1945, when the Japanese army surrendered, there were 16 divisions in contact with the Kuomintang frontal battlefield troops. About 560 thousand people.

At the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War, the Kuomintang successively carried out four large-scale strategic battles in Songhu, Xinkou, Xuzhou and Wuhan. The Japanese army invested 32 divisions in the battlefield in China, with about 1 120000 people.

Before the end of 1940, the Japanese attack was still concentrated on the frontal battlefield of the Kuomintang. He launched the Nanchang Battle (1March to May, 939), Sui-Zao Battle (1May, 939), the first Changsha Battle (1March to May, 939) and the Guinan Battle (1939)

1April, 944 to1February, the Japanese invaders launched the Yu-Xiang-Gui Campaign to open up the mainland traffic lines, and mobilized more than148,000 troops, more than 300 tanks and more than 30 planes from the northeast and north China.

The Japanese army used a total of about 2.43 million troops to fight against the Kuomintang.

3. How much was used to fight the Eighth Route Army/New Fourth Army?

This problem, like the above, also has a statistical caliber problem.

According to China's National Defense News,

From the beginning of the Pingxingguan campaign in September 1937 to the fall of Wuhan in June 1938+00, the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army fought with the Japanese in the battlefield behind enemy lines 1600 times, killing more than 60,000 Japanese soldiers, and 1938 fought with 400,000 Japanese soldiers in the battlefield behind enemy lines, accounting for.

1939 In the liberated areas behind enemy lines, the Japanese army used 540,000 soldiers, accounting for 62% of its total troops invading China (excluding Northeast China), while the puppet troops used1450,000 troops, accounting for 100%.

1940, the Japanese army used 470,000 troops to fight in the liberated areas behind enemy lines, accounting for 58% of all Japanese invaders.

From 194 1 to 1942, the Japanese army put more emphasis on concentrating on cracking down on the * * * production party, and used about 400,000 people (not including the Japanese army that invaded the Northeast) and about 70% of its troops.

1in the winter of 943, when the American and British troops turned to the strategic counterattack against the Japanese army on the Pacific battlefield, the battlefield in the liberated areas behind the enemy lines was also fighting the Japanese invaders with about 350,000 people occupying 58% and the puppet troops with about 735,000 people occupying 90%.

1945 At the turn of spring and summer, the Eighth Route Army, the New Fourth Army and the South China Anti-Japanese Armed Forces recovered more than 70 county towns, annihilated more than 400,000 Japanese puppet troops, basically cleared the Japanese puppet troops' strongholds behind enemy lines, and compressed them into large and medium-sized cities and major communication lines. At this time, 69% of the Japanese invaders and 95% of the puppet troops were still resisting in the battlefield in the liberated areas behind enemy lines, while only 3 1% of the Japanese invaders and 5% of the puppet troops were fighting in the front battlefield of the Kuomintang.

(Add one point: during the eight-year anti-Japanese war, the soldiers and civilians in the liberated areas behind the enemy lines led by China * * * Production Party fought against the Japanese puppet troops * *125, 165 times, killing and wounding the Japanese puppet troops * * 14, 165438+. 8365438 guns +0 guns, 65438 light and heavy machine guns +0.65438 guns +0.000 guns, 65438 guns +0.852 guns of all kinds, recovered 65438 square kilometers of land +0.048 million square kilometers, and liberated 65438 million people. At the same time, the soldiers and civilians in the liberated areas behind enemy lines also made great sacrifices. According to incomplete statistics, the Eighth Route Army, the New Fourth Army and the South China Anti-Japanese Guerrillas suffered a total of 584,267 casualties. )

Based on the above data, Japan's strength against the Eighth Route Army is about 21.6000 (excluding 1.945).

4. In addition, it needs to be clarified that the Puppet Army generally refers to the Imperial Association Army, nominally under the Wang Puppet National Government. During the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression period, the puppet troops generally did not take part in the frontal battlefield battle with the Kuomintang troops, and most of them were used in the battlefield battle behind enemy lines. Therefore, they should all be included in the troops fighting the * * * Party army.

The number of puppet troops is not accurately counted. During War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, 780,000 Kuomintang troops defected to the enemy, all of them puppet troops. Together with the local armed forces incorporated by the Japanese army, the total strength of the puppet troops is about 3 million. As mentioned above, 95% of them fought against the * * * production party forces.
