The 2nd19th Regiment of the 37th Division of the China Garrison in 29 army fought back and put up a tenacious resistance. The "July 7th Incident" opened the curtain of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression.

The historical significance of the July 7th Incident;

The whole process of the July 7th Incident clearly shows that this is the common will of the Japanese government, chaebol and political parties, and it is by no means a few Japanese soldiers leading the army and the government by the nose. It is an inevitable development of Japan's mainland policy and a planned and prepared action. It is no accident that Japan's long-term aggression against China is finally realized in an all-round way.

China was taken away by Japanese invaders from Taiwan Province Province, Penghu Islands and Northeast China. The Japanese also occupied a series of military and economic sovereignty over the remaining territory of China, and what's more, it wanted to occupy North China. China has reached the last moment when it is the last straw and has to fight back.

The Japanese know that it is impossible for China to make any concessions, and the gradual encroachment has come to an end, which is no longer feasible. Because of this, the Japanese eagerly gave up the method of gradual encroachment, and in order to realize the predetermined mainland policy, they started an all-round attack on China in an attempt to fundamentally destroy China.

However, the invaders always whitewash themselves, saying that China's "anti-Japanese" behavior caused Japan's forced reaction: it is sheer nonsense, and the subtext is nothing more than "China should yield to Japanese rule, occupation and slavery". And this can only be the dream of the Japanese aggressors themselves.
