Features: Lugou Bridge holds significant geographical importance. Once occupied by Japanese forces, the bridge would block the Pinghan Railway, leaving Beiping (now Beijing) isolated and vulnerable, and threatening the survival of North China. On that dark night, Japanese troops deliberately provoked and attacked the Chinese garrison, leading to the heroic resistance of Chinese forces at Lugou Bridge, which marked the beginning of the China War of Resistance against Japan. 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 at great cost. As the Chinese people have just embarked on a path of prosperity but have yet to achieve national unification, we still face a heavy burden and must remain highly vigilant against the nation at all times.
