从南京大屠杀的发生看日军的战略时机选择——以日方思虑为中心的考察

A Study on the Japanese Army's Strategic Timing Selection in Light of the Occurrence of Nanking Massacre

西安事变和平解决后,日本感于以抗日为主要诉求的中国国家整合取得了成效,有可能导致其侵略利益丧失,因而发动全面侵华战争。在日本看来,南京是当时中国抗日的中心,不占领南京,"推翻"国民政府,就不能"膺惩"中国,于是扩大战争到南京。最终,日军把暴行作为战略手段,企图以此来压服中国,南京大屠杀由此发生。

After the peaceful resolution of Xi＇an Incident, Japan realized that with the main request of anti-Japan, China had achieved success in national integration, which may result in Japan＇s loss in the benefits of the invasion. Japan, therefore, was determined to launch a full-scale war. Nanjing was considered by Japan as the center of Chi- nese anti-Japan forces. If Japan failed to occupy Nanjing and overthrow the National Government, Japan couldn＇t “punish” China. The war was then extended to Nanjing. Japanese army eventually chose the atrocity as the strate- gic means to conquer China, and hence Nanking Massacre took place.
