The chinese are pouring troops in. And the japanese are starting to as well. The officer casualties on this first day for china will be irreplacable and shocking. In three months of fighting, you have almost as many people, darn near as many people as the united states lost in its entire involvement,. admittedly short, but more than a year in the first world war. By the way, i suppose, looking on the bright side, it's a kind of victory for the chine forces - cause the JAPANESE thought they'd take shanghai in three days.
