Features: On July 7, 1937, Japan deliberately provoked the July 7 Incident and launched a full-scale invasion of China. The situation in Beijing and Tianjin was! The northern region of China was! The Chinese nation was! Under the promotion of the Communist Party of China, the Anti-Japanese National United Front based on the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party was formally established. The sons and daughters of China fought desperately against the Japanese army, engaging in a series of major battles such as the Defense of Beijing and Tianjin, the Battle of Nankou-Zhangjiakou, the Battle of Shanghai, the Battle of Xinkou-Taiyuan, the Battle of Xuzhou, the Battle of Wuhan, and the Defense of Guangzhou. Although these resistances did not stop the Japanese army's of China's half of the territory, they shattered Japan's dream of quickly conquering China. Especially when the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army advanced into enemy territory, recaptured the homeland, and established bases, they forced the Japanese army to stop its strategic offensive against the Nationalist Party's troops on the front line, and the Anti-Japanese War thus entered the strategic stalemate phase. On September 18, 1931, with the thunderous artillery fire of the Japanese Kwantung Army's attack on the Beibai Camp in Shenyang, Japanese imperialism began its long-planned aggressive war to dominate China. Thereafter, it gradually encroached and advanced. Where the invaders' iron hooves trod, mountains and rivers bled, fields were ruined, lives were destroyed, and civilization was destroyed. The Chinese nation was at the critical juncture of national extinction and annihilation! Saving the nation and preserving survival became the inescapable responsibility of every Chinese person! The classes, parties, groups, and overseas Chinese in China, with the greater national interest in mind, united, fought with one heart against the enemy, and faced the national crisis, building a new Great Wall with flesh and blood, and engaged in a heroic struggle against the Japanese invaders for as long as 14 years. China's Anti-Japanese War walked a difficult and winding path of development, experiencing a historical process from localized resistance to nationwide resistance, from strategic defense to strategic stalemate and then to strategic counterattack. The Chinese people, with great national sacrifice and heroic resistance, finally won the great victory of completely defeating Japanese imperialism, composing a moving and majestic anthem of the entire nation's anti-invasion war.
