A set of well-preserved textbooks used by the Japanese military academy during WWII was found recently in Anshan, northeast China’s Liaoning Province.
What surprised people about the books is that most of the specific battle examples, tactics, and war history contained in them were selected from the actual battles that Japanese invaders had launched in China.
The topographic examples and geology were featured with the geographic landform, climate, and railways in Liaoning, Jilin, and Heilongjiang provinces in northeast China, and Qingdao in east China’s Shandong Province which were occupied by Japanese invaders in 1930s and 1940s.
The set, made up of 22 textbooks, was once used by Zhang Yuanlie, a student of the Japanese military academy. They were found behind the ceiling of a Japanese styled house.
