What was the most difficult battle in history, and why was it this one?

I think it should be the Battle of Makino, this is a war fought by King Wu, although the Shang Dynasty was in decline at that time, but it was still strong, this is a war to win more with less.

In my opinion, it was the Battle of Julu, Xiang Yu led 60,000 Chu troops and defeated 200,000 Qin troops in the form of winning more with less, which was indeed a very difficult battle.

The Battle of Chibi, I personally think that Chibi is a stop. The combined forces of Eastern Wu and Shu Han defeated Cao Cao, and this battle was really difficult for the Cao Wei regime!

The Eight-Nation Coalition invaded Beijing and signed the first unequal treaty, which was the worst war we lost.

I feel that the Battle of Changping is the most difficult to fight, of course, this is from the perspective of Zhao State, Bai Qi destroyed 450,000 soldiers of Zhao State, so that Zhao State has been in a state of collapse since then.

The most difficult battle was probably the Battle of Chibi, because the geography was so harsh that it was a formidable challenge for both sides.

The War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression lasted the longest, and at that time, China's economy and military were particularly backward.

The Battle of the Rivers. In order to expand its territory, the Former Qin launched a series of aggressive campaigns against the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Among them, in the Battle of Weishui, the military strength of the former Qin was defeated by the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and the country began to decline and perish, and the Eastern Jin Dynasty only defeated the more than 800,000 former Qin troops with 80,000 troops.

The war was fierce and fought for a long time.

The most difficult battles in ancient Chinese military history are controversial, but the following battles are considered the most challenging and difficult:

1.Battle of Julu (207 BCE): This battle was a pivotal battle between the Han and Qin dynasties.

The Han army suffered heavy losses in this battle and was eventually defeated. According to historical records, the Han army lost 140,000 men in the battle, while the Qin army suffered only 4,000 killed.

2.Battle of Chibi (208 AD): This battle is one of the famous battles of the Three Kingdoms period.

Cao Cao's army was heavily defeated by the combined forces of Sun Quan and Liu Bei at Chibi and was eventually forced to retreat. The Battle of Chibi is a typical example of winning more with less, with the Three Kingdoms Coalition army having only 50,000 men, while Cao Cao's army had more than 100,000 men.

3.Battle of Guandu (198 AD): This battle was a pivotal battle in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, and Hail Tan marked the rise of Cao Cao.

Cao Cao used the tactics of surprise attacks and ambushes in this battle to defeat Yuan Shao's army. According to historical records, Cao Cao had only 10,000 men, while Yuan Shao's army had more than 100,000 people.

In the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, backward agricultural countries confronted advanced industrial countries, and in addition to the number of people, they were backward in all aspects; In this way, he persisted for 14 years, and sacrificed a lot of money without losing the country.

The most difficult was probably the Battle of Verdun in a major war.

In total, nearly two million soldiers were involved in the battle, resulting in more than 1 million casualties on both sides, which decimated the entire continent of men.

The battle also set a world precedent or changed the traditional way in many ways, such as the heavy losses that the French suffered at the beginning when they decided to fight the Germans to the death in February. This is also the first large-scale transportation of troops and materials on the road by car in the history of the world's war, using nearly 4,000 vehicles to transport nearly 200,000 troops and 10,000 tons of supplies. In addition, Germany and France developed the most advanced ** in the world at that time (super cannons, poison gas bombs, flame launchers) during the war, which provided advanced experience for the subsequent wars.

The most difficult was the Huaihai Campaign.

On the contrary, the Pingjin Battle was the least suspenseful, and the 800,000 troops in the East Field entered the pass, plus the North China Field Army, to deal with the 600,000 enemy troops in North China, there was no suspense.

The difficulty of the Liaoshen campaign lies in Jinzhou, but in general, before the Liaoshen campaign and after the summer campaign, Dongye already had an absolute advantage in the northeast battlefield, 800,000 against 500,000 on the other side, and the Kuomintang army was divided into several large cities, encouraging each other.

The most difficult thing is Huaihai, the forces of the two sides are close, and the enemy in Xuzhou is relatively concentrated and difficult to divide.

The Huaihai Campaign, known by the Kuomintang as the "Battle of Xu Beng", was the most difficult to fight was the largest, the most annihilated enemy, the longest lasting, and the fiercest battle, starting from November 6, 1948 and ending on January 10, 1949, which was the vast area of the East China Field Army and the Central Plains Field Army of the Chinese People's Liberation Army during the Liberation War, with Xuzhou in Jiangsu as the center, from Haizhou (Lianyungang) in Jiangsu in the east, to Shangqiu in Henan in the west, from Lincheng in Shandong (now Xuecheng in Zaozhuang City) in the north, and to the Huaihe River in the south. The campaign with the largest number of enemies, the greatest political influence, and the most complicated war style liberated the vast area north of the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and also prepared for the battle of crossing the Yangtze River.

The most difficult of the three major battles to fight was: the Huaihai Campaign. The Huaihai Campaign was a large-scale strategic offensive campaign conducted by the Central Plains Field Army and the East China Field Army and other military region troops and local armed forces from November 6, 1948 to January 10 of the following year, in a vast area centered on Xuzhou.

In this campaign, the Kuomintang Army completely annihilated 1 "suppression general" advance headquarters, 5 corps, and 1 "appeasement" area, totaling 56 divisions and more than 550,000 people.

The gap in strength between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party in the Huaihai Battle was quite large, but the Communist Party relied on its unyielding perseverance and the support of the local people to repel all the armed forces, and also sounded the clarion call for the victory of the subsequent battle of crossing the river. It was precisely because of the huge gap between the Kuomintang and the Communist armies that the best troops of the Kuomintang were assembled in this Yuanla Campaign, which proved that the fighting process of the Huaihai Campaign was difficult, and it was not comparable to Liaoshen and Pingjin.

Huaihai Campaign People's Liberation Army ** statisticsThe PLA suffered 25,954 killed, 98,818 wounded, and 11,752 missing, totaling 136524. The ratio of friend to foe is 1.

**The equipment losses include 1 tank, 34 mountain artillery, field artillery, howitzers, 219 mortars and infantry guns, 26 grenadiers, 1,884 light and heavy machine guns, 14,588 long and short guns, 679943 rounds of various artillery shells, 10,000 rounds of various guns and ammunition, and 97,025 pounds of explosives (missing double stacking campaign statistics).

I think the most difficult thing to fight should be the Battle of Changping, because the number of belligerents between the two countries in the Battle of Changping at that time was very large, if it weren't for Zhao Kuo's incompetence, I think this war would have lasted for a long time.

It was the War of Resistance Against Japan, because the Chinese fought for almost five years before they won, and the experience in the middle was very difficult.

The most difficult battle should be the Battle of Julu, Xiang Yu defeated the Qin State with a very small army, I think it is history.
