Features: Lugou Bridge holds significant geographical importance. Once occupied by Japanese forces, the bridge would block the Pinghan Railway, leaving Beiping (now Beijing) vulnerable and the North China region on the brink of peril. On that dark night, Japanese troops deliberately provoked and attacked the Chinese garrison, and the heroic resistance of the Chinese army at Lugou Bridge marked the beginning of the China War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression. This book is part of the "Photo China War of Resistance Series," which uses numerous authentic on-site photographs to commemorate the 14-year struggle of China's war of resistance, a history marked by immense sacrifice. The Chinese people, who have just embarked on a path of prosperity and yet have yet to achieve national unification, still face a heavy burden and must remain ever vigilant in safeguarding the nation.
