Features: Akira Fujiwara is a renowned progressive historian in Japan, hailed by academia as the pioneer and founder of modern Japanese military history. In 1941, he was conscripted into the military. This book is based on his personal experiences. Through reflection on the invasion war, it powerfully exposes the ugly face of Japanese militarism with undeniable facts, ensuring they will forever be nailed to the pillar of historical shame. This unique war diary, viewed through the lens of a historian, offers a thought-provoking and profound work. From Akira Fujiwara's narration and introduction in China Front War Diary, we learn about aspects previously unclear due to biases or insufficient research, especially regarding how the Nationalist Chinese forces fought the Japanese in the Yuchang campaign and their role in the Anti-Japanese War. Akira Fujiwara meticulously details in this book the battles fought by the 44th Army, directly under the command of Yang Sen, the Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the 9th War Zone and Commander-in-Chief of the 27th Group Army, in Hunan and Jiangxi.
