Strictly speaking, the Japanese Puppet Army includes the Japanese army and the Puppet Army, and the Puppet Army is made up of Japanese people, and its scope is quite wide. For example, the puppet Manchukuo government in the northeast and the regular army surrendered by Jiangnan in North China, or the local armed groups and puppet troops in Mongolia are all puppet troops. Because they all surrendered, and it was an army composed of China people, it was said that the puppet troops had existed long ago. Since the Japanese 1 War, as long as they surrender, they are all puppet troops, and all traitors can be planned into this category.
The scope of the imperial alliance is not that big. The former Imperial Association Army refers to the North China Public Security Army. 1940, due to the fall of North China, the Japanese army's ambition was far from stopped and continued to invade the south. At that time, due to the long battlefield and the shortage of Japanese troops, the Japanese army wanted to draw those pro-Japanese elements for their own use and let them turn their guns. Therefore, the imperial association army in North China is said to be so. Later, when the Japanese supported Wang Jingwei's puppet Nanjing government, this imperial association army successfully took over the puppet Wang government, which can be regarded as an army under the puppet Wang government.
From here, we can clearly distinguish the difference between the two. The imperial association army can only be regarded as a part of the puppet army, which refers to all traitors. For example, the security forces everywhere are puppet troops, and it is precisely because of the existence of puppet troops that the people of China have suffered more under the Japanese aggression. The people's hatred of traitors is basically the same as that of aggressors. Although the accomplices of these invaders finally got their due punishment and were judged by the people and punished by law, this kind of real traitorous behavior should not be forgiven.
