桂柳会战前后国际力量与民间力量的关系——以飞虎队桂林机场的建设为例

The Relationship between International Forces and Folk Forces Around the Gui Liu Battle——Taking the Airport Construction of the Flying Tigers in Guilin as an Example

二战期间,陈纳德率领的飞虎队是中国空军的主力。太平洋战争爆发后,为支援盟军的作战,飞虎队以中国东部的前线机场为基地,攻击日军的前沿据点、海上补给线及日本本土。桂林机场的战略位置优越,多山的环境又适合隐蔽,飞虎队的指挥中心便设在桂林。驻扎桂林期间,飞虎队的补给严重短缺,后勤保障方面亟需援助。因抗战而动员起来的中国民间力量,为飞虎队提供了及时的帮助,尤其是在艰苦的环境中,用最短的时间建成了桂林三机场,极大便利了飞虎队从四面灵活地袭扰日军。飞虎队员和中国人民共同创造了辉煌的抗日战果。中国民间力量是世界反法西斯同盟中不容忽视的一部分。

During the Second World War, the “Flying Tigers(American Volunteer Group)” was formally established, Chennault as commander. In the battle of Guiliu, the “Flying Tigers” won the firm support from the civilians mobilized by the resistance against the Japanese army around Guilin areas. With the assistance of those folk forces, the “Flying Tigers” executed the combat and gained series of glorious victories against the Japanese invasion. Chinese civilians are believed to be an essential force in the anti-Fascist alliance.
