1, Battle of Songhu
The Battle of Songhu (also known as the August 13th Battle, the second Shanghai Incident in Japan) was the first large-scale battle between War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, China and Japan, and it was also the largest and most tragic battle in the whole Sino-Japanese war.
The battle of Songhu began in August 1937 13. After the Lugouqiao Incident, Chiang Kai-shek took the initiative to fight back in Shanghai in order to change the direction of Japanese invasion from north to south to east and west for a long time.
165438+1October13rd, the national government issued a statement to all the Shanghai compatriots: soldiers in the world, who heard the righteous cause, died, built trenches on the front line with their flesh and blood, but did not retreat, and their positions turned to ashes. Their morale is still rock solid, and their courage in the trap is fierce enough to show national independence.
China's army retreated to Wufu, forming a defensive line, and the battle for Jiangyin started. At this point, the national army broke the arrogance of the Japanese army to destroy China for three months at the expense of losing 60% of its elite troops, and the battle between Songhu and Shanghai came to an end.
Although China was defeated in the Battle of Songhu, it bought time for China's national industry to move inward. At the same time, let the world clearly see the position of the China administration: it will not wait for Japan to conquer and embezzle its territory peacefully piece by piece, which also proves that China will never surrender to Japan.
After three months of bloody fighting in Shanghai, the Japanese army managed to seize the position of the national army, which made all countries in the world have a sit-up attitude towards China's anti-Japanese strength and determination. However, the Japanese army did not win for a long time, and the morale of the Japanese people became suspicious and confused.
It is almost certain that Japan can't end its war with China in a short time, so Japan will face the biggest achilles heel of its strategy, that is, it lacks resources for war and people's livelihood and can't stand long-term consumption. Once it fails to make a quick decision on the battlefield in China, the final defeat will become the inevitable fate of Japan.
In the thrilling battle of two battles in Shanghai for three months, the whole of China condensed a * * * knowledge, that is, resisting Japanese aggression. China "will never stop the war of resistance even if he pays one soldier and one shot."
This is the most tragic decision in the history of the Chinese nation, and the whole nation is determined to face the challenge of the historical crisis with all-round sacrifice.
