People from all over the country have organized groups to send letters of sympathy and gifts; Students from Peiping and Tianjin organized field service groups to rescue the wounded and transport ammunition to the front; Residents in Lugouqiao area send water, meals and military supplies to the troops; Changxindian railway workers quickly built air-raid shelters and dug holes in the walls to help the army stick to the ancient city of Wanping; The Overseas Chinese Federation also called for encouraging 29 army to make persistent efforts. After the July 7th Incident broke out, the Japanese attack met with stubborn resistance from the China army. Seeing that the attempt to occupy Lugou Bridge could not be realized, the Japanese army played a conspiracy of "local negotiations".
