There were about 390 fighter planes that the Japanese army participated in the Songhu Campaign, including Luhang 2 10 and Hainan Airlines 180.

This paper summarizes the monthly combat situation and monthly combat losses of China Air Force in the Battle of Songhu. 27 aircraft were damaged in August, 36 aircraft were damaged in September, 25 aircraft were damaged in June at 5438+1October, and 7 aircraft were damaged in165438+1October. Considering that the Battle of Songhu has ended, before the end of the Battle, the actual combat loss of China Air Force in the Battle of Songhu should be about 90 people, which is basically consistent with the figures provided by the military report of the Fifth Plenary Session of the Fifth Central Committee of the China National Government. 10 year122 October, China Air Force had 8/kloc-0 aircraft, mainly about 100 aircraft of China Air Force in Songhu Campaign. The existence of aircraft non-combat losses was also a common phenomenon in World War II.

In the whole Battle of Songhu, China Air Force shot down about 230 Japanese planes and 327 Japanese pilots. However, because China's planes were imported, it was difficult to supplement them, and they were basically suppressed by the Japanese army in the middle and late period.

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. About 800,000 troops from China and Japan went into battle, and the battle itself lasted for three months. The Japanese army invested more than 200,000 people in 8 divisions and 2 brigades, and announced more than 40,000 casualties. China's army invested more than 800,000 people in the most elite Central Teaching Corps, 87th Division, 88th Division,148th Division and 62nd Brigade, and counted 300,000 casualties by itself.

In the Battle of Songhu, the Japanese army suffered heavy losses due to the stubborn resistance of the Kuomintang. For China, this campaign marked the real beginning of the undeclared all-out war between the two countries, and the regional conflict after the Lugouqiao Incident escalated into all-out war, completely smashing the Japanese plan of "destroying China in three months".
