淞沪战役与中国抗日国防战略

“九·一八”事变后,中国的国防战略即为“抗日国防战略”,暗中准备抗日部署,1935年到1937年中国政府以我国的地域条件做基础,估计到敌我双方实力悬殊,决定以持久战赢得胜利,所以,中国之国防态势明确地按照国防战略计划确立为以武汉为中心经营长江流域国防设施,建立自西向东的梯次防御体系.“七·七”事变后,凇沪战场的开辟是国民政府以西南为抗战基地实施持久抗战战略计划的重要组成部分,从结果上看,这一应战方略实现了国民政府的预期目标,与此前的战略思想是吻合的.

Immediately after the Sept.18 Incident,China's strategy of national defence changed to an anti Japanese strategy,which secretly prepared for the war against Japan.China's government estimated the great disparety in military strength between China and Japan and decided to wage a protracted war according to her own geographical conditions.From 1935 to 1937,China's government built up instalations along Changjiang River drainage area with Wuhan as its centre,forming an echolon strategic defence situation from west to east.After the July 7 Incident in 1937,Song Hu Campaign became an important part of the protracted war strategy,which based on southwest China.This Campaign tallied with the former strategy and achieved the expected results by the government.
