Twenty-six years is 1937, at this time twenty-six years have passed since the establishment of the country, the situation at home and abroad is extremely grim, it can be said that it has reached a critical moment of national peril.
Fortunately, through the Xi'an Incident, the Kuomintang and the Communist Party achieved a temporary reconciliation and reached a unanimous agreement to resist Japan, laying a solid foundation for the upcoming all-out war of resistance.
On July 7, 1937, under the pretext of losing soldiers, Japan launched the Lugou Bridge Incident, which opened the prelude to the all-out war of resistance.
With the progress of the war, the second cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party officially started the process, and the Chinese **, led by the Kuomintang, was determined to unite as one, reorganize the whole ** team, divide the combat area against Japan, and resist the all-out aggression of the Japanese army.
According to the arrangement of the people, the Red Army units of our party, the Red Army in northern Shaanxi, were reorganized into the Eighth Route Army, with three divisions under its jurisdiction, and the Red Army guerrillas in the south were reorganized into the New Fourth Army. The two anti-Japanese forces under the control of our party actively cooperated with the frontal battlefield operations organized by the Kuomintang army, and at the same time began to plan the establishment of base areas behind enemy lines.
In August 1937, the Battle of Songhu began, which lasted until November, the squadron fought a fierce battle with the Japanese invading army in Shanghai for three months, and the Chinese side paid a huge price, although it could not prevent the fall of Shanghai, but let Japan's arrogant plan to destroy China in three months go bankrupt.
After that, the Japanese army marched all the way west, quickly captured many cities in the east, broke the defense line of the Jiangyin fortress painstakingly operated by the Kuomintang, and captured the capital Nanjing in a very short time.
After the Japanese army occupied Nanjing, in order to wear out the will of the Chinese people to resist and vent their animal desires, they carried out a terrible **** in Nanjing, and more than 300,000 compatriots were brutally murdered. The big ** started on December 13 and lasted for six full weeks.
And abroad, there were also many major events that made world peace precarious, especially Germany's rapid military expansion, which made world war imminent.
Therefore, 1937 is the twenty-sixth year, and the most important event in the world is the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese full-scale war, and the tragic death of the Chinese people on the butcher's knife of the Japanese army!
