The starting point of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression was September 18, 1931, when Japan made the 918 Incident, which opened the prelude to the war of aggression against China, and the end point, on September 2, 1945, Japan signed the instrument of surrender, and the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression ended.
During this 14-year arduous war of resistance, the Chinese people experienced countless hardships and sacrifices, and also made great contributions to the victory of the world anti-fascist war.
The September 18 Incident occurred in Shenyang, northeast China, and the Japanese Kwantung Army used the Wicker Lake Incident as an excuse to suddenly launch an attack on the squadron, occupied Shenyang, and quickly occupied the entire northeast region. This was the beginning of Japan's attempt to destroy China and the starting point of the Chinese people's War of Resistance Against Japan. After the 918 Incident, the Chinese began a 14-year anti-Japanese struggle, during which many key events occurred.
On July 7, 1937, the Lugou Bridge Incident broke out, and Japan began a full-scale invasion of China. The squadron put up stubborn resistance in North China, triggering a nationwide wave of resistance against Japan. In December of the same year, the Japanese army captured Nanjing and carried out the tragic Nanjing Massacre, which is a pain in human history. In 1938, the squadron won an important victory in Taierzhuang, which dealt a blow to the arrogance of the Japanese army. After that, China's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression entered a phase of stalemate, and the two sides reached a stalemate on the battlefield.
In 1940, the Battle of the Hundred Regiments broke out, and the Eighth Route Army led by the Chinese Communist Party launched a large-scale offensive against the Japanese army in North China, inflicting heavy losses on the Japanese army.
In December 1941, Japan attacked Pearl Harbor, the United States declared war on Japan, and the Pacific War broke out. China became an important member of the World Anti-Fascist League and fought together with other allies against Japanese fascism.
In 1945, the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression on the battlefields of China entered its final phase. In August, the Soviets sent troops to northeastern China to launch an offensive against the Japanese army. On August 15, Japan announced its unconditional surrender, and on September 2, a surrender ceremony was held on board the USS Missouri, officially marking the victorious end of the War of Resistance Against Japan. China made a great contribution to the anti-fascist war. The stubborn resistance of the Chinese people held back a large number of Japanese troops, making it impossible for them to fully engage in other battlefields. The squadron and the people made great sacrifices in the war and made important contributions to the victory of the world anti-fascist war. China's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression also set an example for other countries that suffered aggression and inspired the anti-fascist struggle of the people of the world.
The victory of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression not only freed the Chinese people from Japanese colonial rule, but also laid the foundation for China's independence and national rejuvenation. This war has shown the tenacity and courage of the Chinese people to countries around the world, and has also proved China's important position in international affairs.
