| Abstract: | After the Lugou Bridge Incident, the Chinese nation began the whole nation's war of resistance against Japan. In the south, the Shanghai battle opened a prelude to the war of resistance in Southeast China. Through repeated battles in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, along the southeast coast and YueHan railway line, Japanese troops not only occupied Shanghai, Wuhan and Guangzhou, the three most developed cities in southern China, thus taking control of both sides of the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, but also captured ports off the Chinese southeast coast, thus taking control of China's long coastline. Accompanied with the military situation changes, four provincial party and government institutions of Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Fujian and Guangdong successively moved in to the foothills of either side of the Wuyi Mountain and to the mountain area of Nine Mountains, thus the southeast region of the war of resistance against Japan gradually being formed, composed of the Kuomintang controlled area of Fujian, Guangdong, Jiangxi, Zhejiang, Anhui and adjoining areas. From a national perspective, the southeast region of the war of resistance against Japan was located at the front line of China's war of resistance against Japanese aggression. It was not only significantly different from the rear of the war, but also different from anti-Japanese base areas behind enemy lines. But from the inside , it was both in the frontline and had its own rear and hinterland. This region of resistance against Japan deserves in-depth academic research and discussion as a whole. |
