The Anti-Japanese War is a nationwide waragainst Japanese Imperialism invasion.The determining factor for victory lies in a contrast of human power and morale，although the Japanese military power overwhelmed China by military and economic power. The morale and human power principle calls for nation’s effective organization of social resources, integration of upper and grass-roots classes in society, and extensive and intensive  mobilization of the whole society to achieve a nationwide active involvement in Anti-Japanese War.Without an understanding of the point,the Kuomintang (KMT) failed to reverse China's disadvantage in military power despite its conducting role in the front and contribution of numerous brave soldiers. Contrarily, the CPC stuck to a strategy of total resistance, opened up the battlefield backward, and set up an anti-Japanese national united front which effectively connected forces from all sides in the society. The CPC led the correct direction to gain the victory of Anti-Japanese War and turned into a decisive force to defeat the enemies and a strong core to unite the whole nation for resistance.
