Chapter 3 Primer

On September 18, 1931, the Japanese army bombarded the Beida Camp and began a war of full-scale aggression against Northeast my country. The name "Northeast Army", before the Xi'an Incident, had been associated with the shame of "September 18".In our impression, this army fled into Shanhaiguan "without firing a single shot".However, with the excavation of anti-Japanese historical materials, we gradually discovered that during the "September 18th" incident, although the "non-resistance policy" was indeed implemented, some officers and soldiers of the Northeast Army still carried out certain actions during the Japanese army's capture of the three northeastern provinces. The resistance, such as the tenacious resistance organized by General Ma Zhanshan and General Li Du who were isolated in the north, caused considerable damage to the Japanese army.In Changchun, Nanling artillery caused the Japanese army to lose its first assistant officer.

In southern Liaoning, the armored trains of the Chinese and Japanese armies encountered on the outskirts of Jinzhou. After a fierce artillery battle, the Japanese army was forced to retreat. After the "September 18th" incident, Chinese students studying at Columbia University in the United States protested against the Japanese occupation of Northeast China. Behind them was a banner full of affection, which read: "Daughters of China" - the daughters of China. In Heilongjiang, Ma Zhanshan was ordered to act as the provincial chairman, and together with Su Bingwen and other generals of the Northeast Army, blocked the Japanese army Yu Jiangqiao and Huhai.

In Jilin, Li Du rushed 300 miles overnight and broke into Harbin, known as the "parachutist". According to the records of the Japanese army, the Heilongjiang provincial government on the Chinese side did not withdraw into the territory of the Soviet Union until early 1933. After the "September 18th" Incident, it persisted in resistance in the country for a full year and four months. At the beginning of 1933, the Japanese army announced that they had suffered a total of nearly 7,000 casualties during the operations in the three eastern provinces.During the fall of the three northeastern provinces, the main force of the Northeast Army led by General Zhang Xueliang was responsible for defending the land, but under the leadership of the "non-resistance policy", he abandoned his homeland and embarked on a journey of exile.However, some Northeast Army officers and soldiers fought fearlessly with the Japanese army.

The subsidence of the land refers to the content of these regular Chinese troops, with the former Northeast Army as the main body, either actively or passively rising up and resisting the fall.
