Ode to the Fallen : Record of Kuomintang's Frontline Battlefield agaisnt Japanese Aggression (Volume 2)

After Wuhan Battle in October 1938, China's war of resistance against Japanese invasion entered a more difficult stage of strategic stalemate. The frontline battlefields of Kuomintang, including Nanchang Battle, Changsha Battle, South Guangxi Battle, Suizhou and Zaoyang Battle, Shanggao Battle and West Hubei Battle, broke out one by one, and an unprecedented seesaw battle was formed. In the battlefield of Changde, the Chinese garrison of more than 8,000 members fought for 16 days and nights against the repeated attacks of 30,000 Japanese until they run out of food and bullets. At last, only less than 100 Chinese soldiers survived. In the skirmish in Nanning, Chinese army recaptured Kunlunguan after 12 days of intense competition and with a casualty 3 times that of the enemy. It was the most relentless fight among all battles in Nanning. In the first stage of Chinese expeditionary army entering Burma, they suffered heavy casualties in North Burma, with only 40,000 soldiers surviving out of the 100,000 members of 3 corps. In this period, famous generals Zhang Zizhong and Dai Anlan as well as millions of soldiers fell down on the battlefield. When the counterattack in West Hunan began, China had finally ushered in big victory in the Anti-Japanese War. So many Chinese soldiers, who represented the soul of Chinese nation, had sacrificed their lives in this war, and they built a historic monument with their blood and flesh.
