Historians' evaluation of the Battle of Changsha is that the Battle of Changsha was the largest Sino-Japanese Battle on the battlefield of China in the Second World War, with more than one million troops deployed by both sides, which lasted for five years. It was a time-consuming and labor-intensive battle. The battle of Changsha also plays an important role in the world battlefield.
Before the Battle of Changsha, the Japanese invaders were arrogant in China and captured a large area of China in a short time. The battle of Changsha stopped Japan's ambition to attack the southwest and hit Japan's arrogance. At that time, the newspaper's comments on the Changsha Battle added confidence to the people of China.
The battle of Changsha also had a great influence on the world at that time. Some British and American media commented that the Changsha Battle slowed down the Japanese offensive, so that a large part of the Japanese army was pinned down by China, which reduced the pressure of Britain and the United States on the Pacific battlefield and enabled Britain and the United States to have enough troops to attack Germany in Europe.
At that time, both Chinese and Japanese personnel who witnessed the Changsha Battle commented that the Changsha Battle was very cruel, and the battlefield environment of the Changsha Battle was also very bad, because the battlefield of the Changsha Battle was located in the surrounding areas of Hunan, with complex terrain and harsh environment, and soldiers from both sides often fought in the wilderness.
Changsha Battle occupies an important position in China and War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression. The Changsha Battle ensured the safety of southwest China, and the then National Government was in Chongqing in the southwest. If the Japanese invaded the southwest, with the collapse of the national government, there would be no government to lead the people of China in the war of resistance. Therefore, historians evaluate that the Changsha Battle ensured the security of the China government. The battle of Changsha played a great role, but it also paid a great price, because the China army suffered more than 65,438+million casualties in the battle of Changsha.
