On January 28, 1932, the Japanese army launched an attack on Shanghai, and the 19th Route Army stationed in the Songhu area resisted. Old Chiang kai-shek initially disagreed with the heroic killing of the enemy by the 19th Route Army, but the heroic behavior of the 19th Route Army won the support of the people of the whole country, and under the pressure of public opinion, Old Chiang decided to reinforce the 19th Route Army.
Moreover, this reinforcement, lao Chiang was also bloody, he sent the three most elite German mechanic divisions in the Kuomintang troops, and the 88th Division arrived at Shanghai Nanxiang Station on February 15.
