Communist did have one general who was fighting Japanese during Sino-Japanese War. Oops, that's when he was a KMT general. Once he defected to Communist, he never fought Japanese again.
Basically, I think this 851 number is closer to the truth and it is even lower than I thought though, I was guessing 1500.
Once I know a man who joined Communist for 40+ years. He agreed my guess and said Communist never wanted to fight Japanese. His son, who argued with me against KMT about Sino-Japanese War, stayed besides us during our conversation and complained his dad never told him that until that time. His dad said I just mentioned KMT also fought Japanese and got imprisoned for 2 years.
Yeah, it was a taboo even mentioned KMT also fought Japanese since cultural revolution until about 7-8 years ago. No wonder some people here still argued since they could not imagined all they heard were lies when they grew up.
2戰, 北京, 天津, 南京, 上海, 武漢, 廣州被占領到抗戰結束。
莫斯科保衛戰, 德國中央集團軍 190萬德軍打不下莫斯科。
南京保衛戰, 國軍陣亡50000, 日軍陣亡2000。(25:1)
南京保衛戰, 日軍陣亡2000打下南京。
抗戰期間出了4個偽政府, 南京汪精衛, 滿州國, 北平王克敏, 內蒙德王。
中國是唯一一個二戰偽軍人數超過侵略軍的國家。
