1937年7月以后,日军占领了我华北大、中、小城市和交通沿线的土地,又向南方大举进攻。入秋后,又派出兵力,直扑陕西。他们认为打下陕西,就可进军西北和西南,配合其南下大军,速战速胜灭亡中国。他们更认为,陕西是抗日中坚——中共中央所在地,而西安是张、杨逼蒋促成全国抗战的基地,打下陕西是对中国抗战精神的致命一击,先灭为快。 After July 1937, the Japanese occupied the land along the large, medium-sized and small cities in North China and the traffic along the route, and attacked the south by massive amounts. After autumn, they sent troops and went straight to Shaanxi. They think that by laying Shaanxi, they can enter the northwest and southwest and cooperate with their troops southward to exterminate China in quick succession. They even think that Shaanxi is the backbone of the anti-Japanese war - the seat of the CPC Central Committee. And Xi’an is Zhang. Yang urged Chiang to build a base for a nationwide war of resistance and Shaanxi is a deadly blow to China’s war of resistance against Japan.
