At that time, the National Government was first commanded by Feng Yuxiang, and then Jiang Zhongzheng (concurrently) served as the commander of the Third Theater. The troops of the Central Army, Guangdong, Guangxi, Hunan, Sichuan, Guizhou and Yunnan, the tax police corps, the teaching corps of the Central Military Academy and the guard corps of some provinces and cities have been mobilized, with a total strength of about 700,000 divisions to fight bravely.

Nanjing defending war

After the Japanese army captured Nanjing in 1937 12 13, it committed war crimes such as mass killing, looting and rape on civilians and prisoners of war in the urban and suburban areas of Nanjing for six weeks.

The number of deaths related to the Nanjing Massacre was at least 200,000 in the International Court of Justice and 300,000 in China scholars.

Battle of Taiyuan

The total strength of the Japanese army in the war was about four and a half divisions * * * 1.4 million, with nearly 30,000 casualties. China's army participated in the war with a total strength of 6 group armies and 52 divisions (brigades) totaling more than 280,000 people, with 65,438+10,000 casualties.

The battle of Xinkou greatly consumed the effective strength of the Japanese army and hindered the Japanese army from fighting southward along the Pinghan Railway (Beiping-Hankou). However, Niangziguan prevented negligence, and the Japanese army took advantage of it and went straight to Taiyuan, the capital of Shanxi Province. Although the final battle ended in failure, the battle of Taiyuan was the biggest battle against Japan in North China during the eight-year Anti-Japanese War. In the Battle of Taiyuan, about 20,000 Japanese soldiers were killed or injured in the Battle of Guangxinkou, setting a record for the number of Japanese annihilation in North China.

In the battle in Taierzhuang area, the fifth war zone adopted active defense tactics, part as interior defense and part as exterior defense, combining offensive and defensive, flexible and achieved great victory. Subsequently, regardless of the overall situation that the enemy is strong and we are weak, the highest military authorities mobilized troops near Xuzhou in an attempt to fight a decisive battle with the Japanese army, making the later battle passive. Nevertheless, this battle consumed the effective strength of the Japanese army, slowed down the attack speed of the Japanese army, and won time for the deployment of the defense war in Wuhan.

The battle of Wuhan lasted for four and a half months, and the front line reached thousands of miles in Anhui, Henan, Jiangxi and Hubei provinces. The number of troops invested by both sides, the length of the front, the length of time and the scale are unmatched by any battle in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression.
