Chapter 117 Reappearance of September 18
The country is an island country with a lack of resources, which greatly limits its development. During this period, the country suddenly became a powerful country in Asia due to its successful implementation of reforms. However, its neighbor Huaxia was very unsuccessful, and to this day
He is also relatively cowardly. This huge and cowardly neighbor has become a fat piece of meat in the eyes of the Qi State, and he has been coveting this piece of fat in his stomach. The Qi State has already started to take action since the Manchu period, occupying the Northeast.
peninsula
It was just the first step in its strategy. Therefore, the occurrence of the "September 18th" incident was not accidental. It was a long-planned and important step of aggression taken by the militarists of the weak country in order to annex China and dominate Asia and the Pacific.
The country has coveted Northeast China for a long time. Before the September 18th Incident, it had captured Lushun, Dalian and the Manchuria Railway through the Russo-Russian War and stationed troops there. This was the prerequisite for it to conspire to carry out the incident.
In the summer of 1927, the Chinese cabinet held the "Eastern Conference" in Tokyo and formulated the "China Policy Program", which blatantly claimed that Northeast China "has great interests in (the Chinese country's) national defense and the survival of its people."
Relations". In July of the same year, Cabinet Prime Minister Tanaka Yoshiichi presented to the Emperor "The Empire's Relations with Manchuria and Mongolia"
Active Fundamental Policy" (the infamous "Tanaka Memorial"), the resources of the Northeast are the prerequisite for whether the weak country can completely swallow up China, and openly declared: "If you want to conquer China, you must first conquer Manchuria and Mongolia; if you want to conquer the world, you must first conquer
Conquer China." This established the arrogant strategy of using "Manchuria and Mongolia" as the base for invasion.
Starting from 1929, the Army General Staff Headquarters and the Kwantung Army secretly organized four "staff tours" in the three provinces of Northeast China to conduct reconnaissance and formulated an operational plan to invade Northeast China. June 1931
, the Army General Staff Headquarters and the Army Ministry formulated the "Outline of Solutions to the Manchuria and Mongolia Issues" and determined the specific steps to invade Northeast China by force; in July, the Army General Staff Headquarters secretly transferred heavy siege artillery to Shenyang
Yang, aiming at Beidaying, where the Northeastern Army was stationed; in August, Nanjiro, Minister of War of the Japanese Kingdom, shouted at a meeting of Japanese division commanders: The Manchuria-Mongolia problem can only be solved by force. Subsequently, various preparations for launching this war were further made.
After completing careful preparations for launching a war of aggression, the imperialists of the weak country brazenly launched the "September 18th" Incident, which opened the prelude to a full-scale armed aggression against China, and then into Asia and the Pacific.
In Haoren's words: If there are no restrictions on human beings, they will become a very evil species in the universe. In 1929, the United States took the lead in detonating the economic crisis, and its influence is gradually emerging. The economic crisis is constantly fermenting, and countries around the world are still struggling in the economic crisis.
, the domestic affairs of various countries are in such a mess, who can care about what is happening in Asia. This is an opportunity for the poor people, and it is also
The sorrow of the Chinese people. The difference is that the Chinese people have been preparing for this, but the Chinese people have no clear understanding of this. They are still busy realizing their own great ideals, and the various factions are conquering each other. It cannot be said that they have not
National spirit only puts personal interests, group interests, and factional interests above the interests of the nation. The first thing to consider is one's own interests, and the nation second.
An important factor in the September 18th Incident was the continuous internal strife in China, which has not stopped since the Republic of China. Although the Central Plains was gradually unified under the banner of the Nanzhijing government, there were many internal factions and disputes. The Kuomintang government had great influence on other countries.
The governance of each province is weak, the Nanzhijing government wants to unify, and all parties have their own ideas, so war is inevitable. This makes this country that is already lagging behind the world's largest country even more dilapidated, just like a person
He is too weak to keep bleeding. This is what the world's great powers want to see, otherwise they would not be willing to spend money to support different factions. China is not a small country, and it is still very difficult for a great power to swallow it alone.
Difficulty, not to mention the mutual constraints of many great powers, which kept him in constant war, and disputes were the best strategy. It was precisely when he saw this opportunity, and it happened that the militarism of the weak country was gradually entering its heyday, of course it would not
Missed such a good opportunity.
An important factor in the success of the September 18th Incident was that there was a playboy in power in the three northeastern provinces. After all, Zhang Xueliang was born out of the local powerful faction of the old warlords, and the interests of individuals and small groups also held considerable weight in his heart.
Zhang Xueliang, the commander-in-chief of one party, actually had a habit of taking drugs and was deeply addicted to drugs. He was greedy for comfort, depressed and had low ability.
Pursuing an absurd life of extravagance and extravagance. Regardless of knowledge and experience, a playboy who only knows how to pursue an absurd life is not capable of taking on such a major and critical situation. Probably his idea at the time was that he was unwilling to fight against the bandits alone or
The inability to make correct judgments, and the most important thing is the lack of high moral responsibility for the Chinese nation.
On the evening of September 18, 1931, the Third Company of the 2nd Battalion of the Hu Shitai Standing Garrison of the Kwantung Army of the Kwantung Army left its original base at Hu Shitai Barracks and marched southward along the South Manchuria Railway. At 22:20 at night
At around 10:00 a.m., a small detachment led by Lieutenant Kawamoto Matemori, captain of the Ryutiao Lake Detachment of the Kwantung Army Railway Guards of the Kwantung Army, headed by Lieutenant Mamoru Kawamoto, under the pretext of inspecting the railway, conducted a
About 7.5 kilometers to the north, small explosives were detonated on the Liutiao Hunan-Manchuria Railway section 800 meters away from Beidaying, where the Northeastern Army was stationed, destroying a small section of the railway. Three Chinese corpses wearing Northeastern Army soldiers' uniforms were left.
It was placed on the scene as evidence that the Northeast Army destroyed the railway, and falsely accused the Chinese army of destroying the railway and attacking the Chinese garrison.
At the same time as the explosion occurred, Captain Kawashima, who was staying in Wenguantun, about four kilometers north of the railway blast point, immediately led his troops south and began to attack Beidaying.
After the explosion, the troops stationed in the Chinese Beidaying and Shenyang City were divided into two groups, north and south, and attacked the Beidaying where the Chinese army was stationed. The Southern Army was commanded by Yukihiro Hirata, the 29th Regiment of the 2nd Infantry Brigade of the 2nd Division of the Kwantung Army, and the Northern Army
The 2nd Battalion of the Railway Garrison commanded by Masaichi Shimamoto.
At that time, the 7th Brigade of the Northeastern Army stationed in Beida Camp was unprepared and was caught off guard. Zhang Xueliang had previously ordered the Northeastern Army not to resist, but the garrison did not make a fierce counterattack. Two of the three regiments of the 7th Brigade
Withdrew according to instructions, only Wang Tiehan's 620th regiment failed to pick up the troops in time
When ordered to retreat, they were forced to defend themselves and resist, and finally broke out and evacuated. Due to the implementation of Zhang Xueliang's order not to resist, the more than 10,000 defenders of Beida Camp were defeated by the weak army of only more than 500 people. There was an explosion in Liutiao Lake on this September 1st
The night of August opened the prelude to the invasion of China by the weak country...
