FOR THOSE WONDERING ABOUT THE HELMETS: One of the most conspicuous features of the elite units of the Chinese army that went to war with Japan in 1937 was their widespread use of German equipment, and, most conspicuous of all, of the trademark German helmet. In the early and mid-30s, Germany was the main provider of military assistance to Chiang Kai-shek’s Nationalist forces. This meant the dispatch of a fair number of German officers who acted as advisors and teachers for China as it raced to build a modern military force. It also meant large shipments of military supplies, including 300,000 M35 helmets.

Are you sure that the Germans did more war crimes? At least the Germans never regarded all the citizens of the lands they conquered as pigs for slaughter and pleasure (literally) with their crazed fanatical bushido culture at the time (Read up on China Nanjing, Singapore, Korea and so many Asian countries they conquered.) The reason why America nuked Japan was because they knew that taking Japan from the Bushido fanatics would result in millions of casualties on both sides. Never heard of German Kamikaze before, not like the crazed fanatics of the Japanese soldiers at the time.

@@joseantonioamayaalvarado6744 You made a mistake. Japan could never totally conquer China as long as the ROC refused to surrender. If you knew about the economic history of Imperial Japan in the 20th century, you'd know that their entire country ran on continuous military operations that was the only way for Japan to expand its domestic economy by keeping the entire military industry continuously working. The reason why Japan turned to fight the US in 1941 was not that it became too ambitious but that its economy would completely collapse very soon if it couldn't subdue China in a short time.
let's face it China didn't put up much of a resistance, especially considering their size. Things sure are different now but that was the reality back then
@@EMARTRAHOBBY China wasn't even industrialised and that Japan should be praised in any way is utter bullshit Japan should get the same punishment Germany did
For those who don't know why the German trained some troops is because of after WWI, Germany was left devastated with it's economy in ruins. China and Germany formed this sort of agreement where Germany would help china with it's infrastructure and military, whilst china would provide workers and raw materials to help with the German economical problems
We all know that China was the "first to fight" the Japanese Empire, first in 1931, when Manchuria was annexed to form Manchukuo, to be followed by a large-scale invasion in 1937. Confronting an enemy far superior in both technological and organizational terms and with the support of an industrial war economy, China sought Of course to obtain foreign military assistance from any willing partners. Ironically, one of these partners was a German, Japan's close ally. This unexpected partnership between Germany and the KMT in 1933 Sino-German cooperation was established after Germany's defeat. Since China never fought against Germany (Chinese manpower contributions to the Allies were through the Chinese Labor Corps), combined with the fact that Weimar Germany relinquished all territorial claims to China, the renewed partnership from World War I emerged largely unscathed. With the signing of the Sino-German peace treaty in 1921, the foundation was laid for cooperation: China offered access to much-needed raw materials for Germany's post-war reconstruction, while Weimar Germany provided modern military equipment and advice to a threatened China.
To anyone wondering why the chinese troops are equipped with German equipments and are seemingly well trained. This is because the Guo ming dang (nationalist) used to have a treaty with the Nazi germany to fight the civil war against the Gong chan dang (communist) which was supported by Soviet Union. The German Nazi trained 8 divisions of chinese guo ming dang troops under German advisors supervision and equipping them with German weapons and so on, however they withdrew their assistance after allying with Japan. Due to this there were ONLY 8 divisions created and the group of chinese soldiers are from one of the divisions.
My grandpa fought against the Japanese during this time, he was a great soldier who fought for China's freedom And after the Japanese surrendered, he fought for the Nationalist against the Communist during the Chinese civil war, but the Nationalist lost the war so he followed the Nationalist government(Republic of China) and fled to Taiwan
Wade Tzu-yao Lin did he have a choice to stay or did he know about the fact that he is going to taiwan? Unless i was a wealthy person or heavily indoctorinated, I would stay because the ccp have a far better reputation than brutal kmt at the time. Just curious.
My grandpa was also in the KMT army during the WW2 as a communication officer. He said he was so sad and terrified to transmit so many defeat reports. Then he fleed to HK and to Cambodia when Nationalist forces was defeated by communist forces. He intended to go Taiwan but the way was blocked.
This is so sad. The chinese soldiers died in order to save the young girls (from being raped or killed), their home and country. This is war, it is cruel. The scene where the girls and soldiers exchanged glance touched my heart as it says alot. Glad that we have peace for now, thanks to all soldiers for your sacrifices, fighting hard and helping to end this war.
Chriatian Bale is perfect. I have to say his performance is vivid and natural. As a Chinese, I will tell you dude, this piece of history is the darkest place in our heart. We barely mention this in the International world but it does not mean we have forgetten or forgiven. We are hamble people and I believe most of the Japanese is as well. What we require is just a sorry.
As horrible as this was, I doubt the Japanese will apologize. Firstly because they see no justification for an apology (due to nationalism still existing there) and secondly because the events were over 80 years ago (quite literally only a few of the soldiers are still alive). Out of interest are you from the mainland or from the Kuomintang republic of China?

Japan at the time still have shit engines and shit industries. However they are still relatively well armed than the Chinese army at that time. It isn't possible to complete wipe Chinese army out but it will be difficult, the Chinese army exchanged territory for time which means they keep retreating and run around everywhere, basically a hit and run tactics.
The problem is that Japanese high schools don't really teach about it... It's still an extremely touchy topic in Japan. The external pressure isn't helping either.
@@user-qt9xc8np5h By 1937 Nanking's population swelled to more than 1 million people, historians estimate. Mostly refuges. 300k casualties (rapes, murders etc) are actually western estimates. Chinese ones were much higher.
yeah, they were called Dudaodui(督导队) which means they were mostly used to monitor Chinese soldiers and manage the troops, and they were the most elite units that China once had. and in the clip they were supposed to retreat, but they lost their final chance because they chose to protect those girls.

This is a pretty interesting contrast to most western movies, since here the chinese filmmakers seem to be not afraid to show how all their heroic soldiers die in many numbers or self-sacrifice. It feels more realistic too, since the guy you think could be the protagonist gets shot or suicides himself into a tank. Also, even though the scene at 10:15 might be a bit dramatized, that was still probably the most badass and desperate move I've ever seen in a war movie.
@@hoodrobin4397 were it for CCP troops they wouldn't be allowed to die in numbers. Current Chinese propaganda doctrine dictates that the KMT rulers belonged to different social classes other than that of the soldiers who were patriotic and belonged to "the people" for whom CCP represents, and they actually collaborated with the Japanese to "oppress" ordinary soldiers' will and bravery to fight by letting them die in numbers, and therefore have to be held responsible for the deaths rather than the Japanese. The point is never who were really fighting the aggressors but who were leading the fight, as the only true thing CCP cared about was power.
Nah. It is mostly with asian war films. Either those are made Koreans, Chinese or Japanese, those are always overthetop heroic, with bombastic effects and drama, that could make the most cynical prick cry, and, from a tactical point of view, preaty fucking stupid.

This is why I love asian war movies. They might be preaty freaking stupid from the strategical and tactical point of view (like for example in that korean war drama about korean war they went awfully alot into melee combat with knifes or that movie about Japanese and Koreans that were ending up fighting from Manjuria, than in Stalingrad, ending up on Omaha Beach), but damn those emotions, dramatic scenes and the effects. Love it :)
Well I don't think it is stupid in tactical and strategical point. It's just that they're tactics are outdated even at that timeline so it would look stupid in our time. Also the movie wherein the Japanese and korean fighting at manchuria or I think Mongolia, then at stalingrad, ending up at omaha was actually based in real life. Search Yang Kyoungjoung. He is really lucky and unlucky at the same time.
I mean, it's less crazy than you think (disclaimer: I haven't really done any in-depth research on this). Remember that China (and probably Korea) was not really industrialized before and during WW2, so pretty much every single piece of heavy arms have to be imported. Hell, there is a desperate shortage of machine guns, to the point that a light machine gun is likely a platoon- or company-level asset... not that the Japanese were really that much better in that regard, but they are still in much better shape than the Chinese. So with such dearth of firepower, it's quite possible to end up fighting in bad-breath (i.e. melee) range. This is also why light infantry tank that the Japanese deployed (with combined arms tactic), being derided as made of papier-mâché by American tankers in Pacific Theatre, is devastatingly effective here. Because when your opponent (i.e. the Chinese) was so poor (and decimated from previous battle) to the point they have no access to anti-tank rifle (never mind anti-tank gun), and barely any machine guns to suppress your tank-supporting infantry, they will have to resort to such desperate measures as using suicide ("dare-to-die") bomber team with one improvised anti-tank "weapon" and the rest literal bullet-sponges. Of course, if you meant John Woo-style over-the-top cinematic, then that's another story, but this clip really isn't. Also, like the other guy pointed out, the Korean Japanese-Soviet-German POW was apparently (based on) a real story. The difference between fiction and non-fiction is that fiction has to make sense :)
@@Srae17 It's not stupid. A lot of unnecessary tactics won the war especially the British empire tactics it looks stupid yet effective sending the front lines to die first with just walking and stuff and Russians charging at every side with no direction where to go with half of the army died yet they still won..

One motive of the rivalry between Japanese army and japanese navy was that the navy blamed the army for the warcrimes commited in china. I always liked the IJN, they had REAL Honor in ww2 unlikely the army
Ehh, uhh, IJN commited plenty of war crimes. The reason why we talk about people like Kudou Shinsaku (captain of Ikazuchi, who commanded the rescue of 400-odd Allied sailors in Second Battle of Java Sea despite risk of submarine attack) in a good light today is because they were the exceptions, not the rule. There were plenty of IJN commanders who were radicalized enough to decide that machine gunning survivors in water (i.e. committing war crime) was a perfectly good idea. Also, reminder that the order to execute 98 US POWs on Wake Island came from an IJN officer.
@@BicyclesMayUseFullLane This incident is not widely known but in a pacific island called Chichijima, Japanese navy soldiers ate capture American soldiers while drinking. All of the soldiers that tried it were instantly hanged after the war ended
No offense but that isn't profound, but a poetic way of putting I it. They deeper they go into Chinese territory the more enemies they'll encounter and the more money they'll spend in the war effort
By no much really, the strategy of trading time with the loss of territory means you will meet little resistance until you pushed far enough to the headquarters and when that happens it get messy

Seeing this movie again in 2022, the Chinese army in the movie didn't have good weapons, but it was already the strongest army in China at that time; In the later period, the Chinese army even went to the battlefield with firewood cutters and ancient spears. ...Pay tribute to the heroes of World War II.
This should called Japan Vs China. Japan invaded them first. Furthermore, China did not have an established army or heavy military force. I read the book by Ching yan Yang if I'm not mistaken, I had nightmares about that book for months. Japanese soldiers murdered innocent people by the thousands and even murdered women and children in murder games, were the Japanese would have competitions on how many people's heads they could cut off with swords. God bless America, for what they did, by dropping two nukes on them, that would teach them and it did. The book is 10 times worse from what I've described and for the record, when Yang did NOT get to finish her book, is was finally completed by her mother. After Yang sadly committed suicide due to her research and discoveries. I recommend reading but only once. She deserves to be remembered, Japanese government tried to stop her publishing and without her research and discoveries, we wouldn't know about it. Book called, The Rape of Nan King.
@@Davs1997 I actually agree with that. They most certainly were victims, they didn't inflict the brutal punishment of innocent Chinese people but they were victims both ways, victims of their own government and military decisions. Just like the German people who were gullible to propaganda and false narratives. I do believe that, if American invaded Japan. Way more innocent people would have been killed. Thank God Japan is a better nation today and those Nuke's definitely helped them change their attitude.
Pacific Battlefield: 1 American soldier killed 10 Japanese soldiers Asian battlefield: 1 Japanese soldier killed 10 Chinese soldiers China paid a heavy price to win the anti-fascist war， but Japan has never admitted crimes like the Germans.
Gotta give some respect to Chinese to uniting against Japanese,the nationalists,the communists,hell,even warlords put their differences aside to fight the common threat.

China: The most underrated faction in ww2. Faced the Japanese basically by their own and held on.
Not really, Japan could have finished China off but instead decided to focus on the allies
@@joseantonioamayaalvarado6744 You made a mistake. Japan could never totally conquer China as long as the ROC refused to surrender. If you knew about the economic history of Imperial Japan in the 20th century, you'd know that their entire country ran on continuous military operations that was the only way for Japan to expand its domestic economy by keeping the entire military industry continuously working. The reason why Japan turned to fight the US in 1941 was not that it became too ambitious but that its economy would completely collapse very soon if it couldn't subdue China in a short time.
But they had men, like 30 times more than Japan, but yeah China didnt even had tanks hahaha
let's face it China didn't put up much of a resistance, especially considering their size. Things sure are different now but that was the reality back then
@@EMARTRAHOBBY China wasn't even industrialised and that Japan should be praised in any way is utter bullshit
Japan should get the same punishment Germany did
For those who don't know why the German trained some troops is because of after WWI, Germany was left devastated with it's economy in ruins. China and Germany formed this sort of agreement where Germany would help china with it's infrastructure and military, whilst china would provide workers and raw materials to help with the German economical problems
Yes, it is true, well done, who knew that China would do such a thing
We all know that China was the "first to fight" the Japanese Empire, first in 1931, when Manchuria was annexed to form Manchukuo, to be followed by a large-scale invasion in 1937. Confronting an enemy far superior in both technological and organizational terms and with the support of an industrial war economy, China sought Of course to obtain foreign military assistance from any willing partners. Ironically, one of these partners was a German, Japan's close ally. This unexpected partnership between Germany and the KMT in 1933 Sino-German cooperation was established after Germany's defeat. Since China never fought against Germany (Chinese manpower contributions to the Allies were through the Chinese Labor Corps), combined with the fact that Weimar Germany relinquished all territorial claims to China, the renewed partnership from World War I emerged largely unscathed.
With the signing of the Sino-German peace treaty in 1921, the foundation was laid for cooperation: China offered access to much-needed raw materials for Germany's post-war reconstruction, while Weimar Germany provided modern military equipment and advice to a threatened China.
To anyone wondering why the chinese troops are equipped with German equipments and are seemingly well trained. This is because the Guo ming dang (nationalist) used to have a treaty with the Nazi germany to fight the civil war against the Gong chan dang (communist) which was supported by Soviet Union. The German Nazi trained 8 divisions of chinese guo ming dang troops under German advisors supervision and equipping them with German weapons and so on, however they withdrew their assistance after allying with Japan. Due to this there were ONLY 8 divisions created and the group of chinese soldiers are from one of the divisions.

My grandpa fought against the Japanese during this time, he was a great soldier who fought for China's freedom
And after the Japanese surrendered, he fought for the Nationalist against the Communist during the Chinese civil war, but the Nationalist lost the war so he followed the Nationalist government(Republic of China) and fled to Taiwan
Wade Tzu-yao Lin he was smart to do that
Wade Tzu-yao Lin did he have a choice to stay or did he know about the fact that he is going to taiwan? Unless i was a wealthy person or heavily indoctorinated, I would stay because the ccp have a far better reputation than brutal kmt at the time. Just curious.
My grandpa was also in the KMT army during the WW2 as a communication officer. He said he was so sad and terrified to transmit so many defeat reports. Then he fleed to HK and to Cambodia when Nationalist forces was defeated by communist forces. He intended to go Taiwan but the way was blocked.
Respect for him from the UK

As horrible as this was, I doubt the Japanese will apologize. Firstly because they see no justification for an apology (due to nationalism still existing there) and secondly because the events were over 80 years ago (quite literally only a few of the soldiers are still alive).

This is a pretty interesting contrast to most western movies, since here the chinese filmmakers seem to be not afraid to show how all their heroic soldiers die in many numbers or self-sacrifice. It feels more realistic too, since the guy you think could be the protagonist gets shot or suicides himself into a tank. Also, even though the scene at 10:15 might be a bit dramatized, that was still probably the most badass and desperate move I've ever seen in a war movie.

@@ilpomelo So? They portray KMT troops heroic and brave, not opposite.
@@hoodrobin4397 were it for CCP troops they wouldn't be allowed to die in numbers. Current Chinese propaganda doctrine dictates that the KMT rulers belonged to different social classes other than that of the soldiers who were patriotic and belonged to "the people" for whom CCP represents, and they actually collaborated with the Japanese to "oppress" ordinary soldiers' will and bravery to fight by letting them die in numbers, and therefore have to be held responsible for the deaths rather than the Japanese. The point is never who were really fighting the aggressors but who were leading the fight, as the only true thing CCP cared about was power.

In case anyone's asking:
- 300,000 Chinese Nationalist Troops were armed, trained and equipped by Nazi Germany
- These crack divisions were often the only ones with full machinegun/mortar/heavy artillery/armour
- Most divisions were destroyed in the battle for Shanghai under Japanese bombing, artillery & naval firepower advantage
- What was left of them - the Officer/Teaching Division (same as the Germans did) in particular - were killed to the last defending Nanking. After the battle of Nanking, almost none of the 300,000 were left.
- These soldiers were from the elite Officer-Cadet Division of German-trained divisions. That's why one said they really should leave -
Correction, it was 14,000. Also both the Weimar Republic and Nazi Germany helped China (until 1937).

These were armed and trained along German lines, and uniquely have complete infantry-division fire support (artillery, mortar, Radio, etc). Even German-made C96s, rifles, Czech machineguns etc.

This is why I love asian war movies. They might be preaty freaking stupid from the strategical and tactical point of view (like for example in that korean war drama about korean war they went awfully alot into melee combat with knifes or that movie about Japanese and Koreans that were ending up fighting from Manjuria, than in Stalingrad, ending up on Omaha Beach), but damn those emotions, dramatic scenes and the effects. Love it :)
Well I don't think it is stupid in tactical and strategical point. It's just that they're tactics are outdated even at that timeline so it would look stupid in our time. Also the movie wherein the Japanese and korean fighting at manchuria or I think Mongolia, then at stalingrad, ending up at omaha was actually based in real life. Search Yang Kyoungjoung. He is really lucky and unlucky at the same time.
I mean, it's less crazy than you think (disclaimer: I haven't really done any in-depth research on this).
Remember that China (and probably Korea) was not really industrialized before and during WW2, so pretty much every single piece of heavy arms have to be imported. Hell, there is a desperate shortage of machine guns, to the point that a light machine gun is likely a platoon- or company-level asset... not that the Japanese were really that much better in that regard, but they are still in much better shape than the Chinese. So with such dearth of firepower, it's quite possible to end up fighting in bad-breath (i.e. melee) range.
This is also why light infantry tank that the Japanese deployed (with combined arms tactic), being derided as made of papier-mâché by American tankers in Pacific Theatre, is devastatingly effective here. Because when your opponent (i.e. the Chinese) was so poor (and decimated from previous battle) to the point they have no access to anti-tank rifle (never mind anti-tank gun), and barely any machine guns to suppress your tank-supporting infantry, they will have to resort to such desperate measures as using suicide ("dare-to-die") bomber team with one improvised anti-tank "weapon" and the rest literal bullet-sponges.
Of course, if you meant John Woo-style over-the-top cinematic, then that's another story, but this clip really isn't.
Also, like the other guy pointed out, the Korean Japanese-Soviet-German POW was apparently (based on) a real story. The difference between fiction and non-fiction is that fiction has to make sense :)
@@Srae17 It's not stupid. A lot of unnecessary tactics won the war especially the British empire tactics it looks stupid yet effective sending the front lines to die first with just walking and stuff and Russians charging at every side with no direction where to go with half of the army died yet they still won..

One of the most conspicuous features of the elite units of the Chinese army that went to war with Japan in 1937 was their widespread use of German equipment, and, most conspicuous of all, of the trademark German helmet. In the early and mid-30s, Germany was the main provider of military assistance to Chiang Kai-shek’s Nationalist forces. This meant the dispatch of a fair number of German officers who acted as advisors and teachers for China as it raced to build a modern military force. It also meant large shipments of military supplies, including 300,000 M35 helmets.
It makes me question though, with all of the support provided by the Germans, why didn't they ally with China instead of Japan?

Those are some really convincing Type 94 Tankette models.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type_94_tankette
This should called Japan Vs China. Japan invaded them first. Furthermore, China did not have an established army or heavy military force. I read the book by Ching yan Yang if I'm not mistaken, I had nightmares about that book for months. Japanese soldiers murdered innocent people by the thousands and even murdered women and children in murder games, were the Japanese would have competitions on how many people's heads they could cut off with swords. God bless America, for what they did, by dropping two nukes on them, that would teach them and it did. The book is 10 times worse from what I've described and for the record, when Yang did NOT get to finish her book, is was finally completed by her mother. After Yang sadly committed suicide due to her research and discoveries. I recommend reading but only once. She deserves to be remembered, Japanese government tried to stop her publishing and without her research and discoveries, we wouldn't know about it. Book called, The Rape of Nan King.
They deserved it
@@bunnieblu7096 They certainly did my friend.
And now Japanese textbooks r trying to decorate them as victims
@@Davs1997 I actually agree with that. They most certainly were victims, they didn't inflict the brutal punishment of innocent Chinese people but they were victims both ways, victims of their own government and military decisions. Just like the German people who were gullible to propaganda and false narratives. I do believe that, if American invaded Japan. Way more innocent people would have been killed. Thank God Japan is a better nation today and those Nuke's definitely helped them change their attitude.
Pacific Battlefield: 1 American soldier killed 10 Japanese soldiers
Asian battlefield: 1 Japanese soldier killed 10 Chinese soldiers
China paid a heavy price to win the anti-fascist war， but Japan has never admitted crimes like the Germans.
They think it was justified. Funny.
USSR: 1 siberian kill 20 japanese
@@cat3784 hahaha it’s funny
あ ほ く さ
わかる？この（南京虐殺）罪の重さ（反日）
I'm just disgusted. I don't want childrens, mans and womens to know the suffering of a war.
Well okay then
Gotta give some respect to Chinese to uniting against Japanese,the nationalists,the communists,hell,even warlords put their differences aside to fight the common threat.
The communists did jackshit to help in the war effort. That's why nationalist China lost the civil war since they took the whole brunt of the war and when the war ended they lacked the manpower to even continue fihting
Remember,these soldier are not communists,they were retreat to Taiwan after civil war,thank you.
I'm Japanese.
Please let me apologize for the mistakes our ancestors have done
However, in those days, people opposed to war were killed in torture in Japan, their family members were suffering by being called non-Japanese. So they had no choice but to fight. So please don't hurt the Japanese soldiers who killed enemy and died to protect their families.
FAN FEI I do not want to make excuses, I want you to understand. And any country killed people. So I do not want you to fool soldiers from various countries who fought for the country and family
@@fanfei8552 The best solution for peace is that the two countries ignore each other. Please don't make anti-japanese propaganda, don't ask apologizes, don't tell us some historic things. We don't want to related with your people.
one civilian That s what Japanese people thinking?I can t believe that u saying the best solution is to bury the existing history.Killing others country for over 20 M and saying that is the past.That might seem like not a big deal for someone holding similar point of view.But It will be non acceptable for any People who really understood what does Conscience means.
one civilian Are you Japanese？
one civilian R u representing for most of Japanese?If u do so,Using the democracy to asking JP government give up trying to the take over Diaoyu Islands? So plz don’t make stupid like this?
Huge respect for the building

Greetings from Serbia 🇷🇸 your comrades !

It should be🇹🇼
@Felipe Aubert I'm not communist you Nazi ! China is #1 helper of Serbia ! My country isn't shithole you don't know nothing about it ! Didn't Serbia star the war ! Bosniak Serbs did it but Austria-hunGAYria needed to declare war ! I'm Chetnik Serb not commie
@Felipe Aubert no ww1 was started by Austria-Hungary. They wanted war anyway and they were looking for a reason..
China was chill,until Sun Yat Sen died.
@張曉亮 I don't like the Communist Party, but I don't like you guys who are always trying to split the country and have to make China uneasy. Think about why independence is for you brainless young people.
They fought so hard, only to become a puppet of communism. This is the saddest part.
@@Luke-nf5oo How...
@@Luke-nf5oo and plus now china is living gud...
@@Luke-nf5oo wow u a kid learn more about china lose
@@beanmanbutchina pls learn more english i cant understand u. china is just a slave for russia and the people there are not happy they are poor af. china for example is trying to kill the islam in china they are against religion and the people in china have no freedom
@@Luke-nf5oo They were never slave of Russia and plus they are only poor during the period of 1949-2010
The China nationalists army at that time have a German weaponry division equipped decent weaponry imported from Germany, including anti tank weaponry.
Such anti-tank equipment is too expensive.
Actually two division 88 and 87
But Chinese army just bought them while Japanese army made them, that’s the difference
Umaru UMR sorry what do you mean? I said those advanced equipments could not be made by Chinese army themselves, and most of those equipments were consumed at early beginning of the war.
It took 8 elite, German trained soldiers to kill ONE tank. And they don't want to lose their country
The movie is called "Flowers of War" I recommend it.
Salute to KMT's who fought bravely.
chinese is chinese, proudly defending motherland
@@cat3784 I beg to disagree if you know the history as to who's the real chinese patriots who fought for the motherland and whose hid a far and wait to takeover.
@@ForgiveUsAll both is chinese, proudly defending their motherland.
many kmt choose ccp too because in late game kmt very corrupt
@@cat3784 both chinese but not both patriotic. in late game ccp take over because they took the chance while kmt weakin by simultaneous war.
I'm Russian and i'll choose China!
🇨🇳♥️🇷🇺
because ussr also attacked by japan
@@cat3784 Japan was attacked by USSR in 1945s...
當時政府為"中華民國|",並非"中國人民共和國",所以當時首都為"南京",而非"北京",一個四億人口的首都,光政府人員和家眷就不止二十萬人,
國軍淞滬會戰退下時毫無規劃,使得南京很快就淪陷,首都南京和其周邊地區,來不及逃亡的人數,隨便都破百萬,真不知道日本人的南京人口才二十萬,
不可能屠殺三十萬人的理由,怎說的出口?
南京铁证，罄竹难书！刚好是南京大屠杀纪念日，默哀

My great grandfather was killed in Shanghai in1937, he was a soldier from Guangxi. I believe he will be very happy to see a peaceful China today.
