Pacific War

In Western superstition, Friday the 13th is believed to bring bad luck.
Well, that sure as hell was the case Friday, August 13th, 1937.
Not long after the July incident, and even years before, the situation between China and Japan was a powder keg waiting to explode.
4 days after a Japanese Officer and Sailor perished at the gate to Hongqiao Airport, ridiculous demands and failed peace talks that no one with real power was interested in, fighting between the two finally broke out in Shanghai.
The Japanese leadership was looking for a fight that would give them the excuse they needed to take more Chinese Territory. And Chiang Kai-Shek needed to show the Chinese public that there wouldn’t be a repeat of 1932(more about that later).
The Japanese leadership, especially in the Navy, believed they could take the city in a matter of days. That turned into 3 long months, and the first of many major engagements that neither the Army(pushing south from Manchuria) nor the Navy could predict. There were no real long-term plans for how to operate in China. The Japanese were essentially going to war without the slightest idea of what a victory in such a large area of operations would look like. The war in China would become a huge drain of men and materials for over 8 years, which Japan couldn’t afford to spare.
For the Nationalist Chinese forces, things weren’t any more optimistic, in many ways worse. Chinese forces were hopelessly outgunned, with many literally only having freaking swords. Years of civil war, division, poverty and KMT incompetence had left their mark on Chiang’s military.
