Japan has now sent more troops to the city of Shanghai. This port city represents a great deal of importance to imperial Japan. The Japanese Expeditionary Force is led by Iwane Matsui and they landed at Liuhe, Wusong and Chuanshakou on August 23rd.
Chang Kai-shek seems to have anticipated an assault on these vulnerable coastal districts. He has reinforced them with the Chinese 18th Army. The Japanese Navy is also using its bombardment abilities to the fullest extent.
