Shanghai, 1937
13 Aug–26 Nov 1937 — Chiang throws his German-trained best — some 700,000 men — into three months of house-by-house fighting under naval guns, to prove China will fight and to pull the war onto the Yangtze axis. Casualties approach 250,000, including the army’s irreplaceable officer corps. The world watches from the Settlement’s rooftops.
This is one scene of Chapter 8 — The Japanese War Begins in China in Revolution, 1911–1949.
