1931September 18, the Japanese Kwantung Army created the "Wicker Lake Incident" and launched an armed attack on the northeast of China.

Wicker Lake is located 2.5 kilometers north of Shenyang inner city, between Shenyang Station and Wenguantun Station. The Kwantung Army chose this place as the blasting site for two reasons: first, it is remote and convenient; Second, it is close to the Northeast Army's Peking University camp, which is convenient for being falsely accused of being destroyed by China's army, and is also conducive to the attack.

At 22: 20 on June 5438+08, explosives were ignited, and a loud noise shook the earth and blew up a railway track. With the explosion as a signal, the fully armed Japanese army, which had already made preparations, launched an attack on the intended target. At the same time, Japanese artillery near Shenyang Station violently bombarded Beiying. At 23: 46, Hua Guzheng sent the first telegram to Lushun Kwantung Army Command in the name of dohihara, falsely claiming that the Japanese army destroyed the railway and attacked the Japanese garrison on the west side of Peking University Camp in northern Shenyang, and the Japanese and Chinese armies clashed. After receiving the telegram, the commander of the Kwantung Army, Shigeru Toyoto, the chief of staff, Mitsuke Miyake, Smiling Ishihara and others urgently studied countermeasures and agreed that this was an "excellent opportunity" to resort to force. Benzhong immediately decided, according to the scheduled plan, to quickly concentrate the main force in Shenyang, pre-emptively, "punish" the China army and occupy the three northeastern provinces.

On the morning of 19, between 1: 30 and 2: 00, Benzhong ordered the Kwantung Army: the second division stationed in Liaoyang, and the first and fifth battalions of the independent guard stationed in Gongzhuling, etc. Quickly ran to Shenyang to attack the China army there; The third infantry brigade stationed in Changchun is ready to attack Changchun. At the same time, he also turned to the Japanese troops stationed in South Korea for help. Finally, Benji Mao officially reported his orders and situation to the Army. In order to facilitate the command, at 3: 30 am on June 19, Benzhimao led the Kwantung Army Command to Shenyang.

/kloc-On the night of September, 0/8, the Japanese garrison in Shenyang only had two battalions and twenty-nine regiments of the second division, with only a few thousand people. After the wicker lake incident, the Japanese army sent more troops to Shenyang overnight. The troops stationed in Tieling arrived in Shenyang at 4 a.m. on 19, and occupied Peking University Camp with the 2nd Battalion at 5: 30. At the same time, the troops and teachers of the Second Division stationed in Haicheng and Liaoyang also arrived in Shenyang at 5: 00 a.m. on 19, and acted together with the 29th regiment originally stationed in Shenyang, occupying the inner city of Shenyang at 6: 30. Then the division and the independent defenders took joint action to attack Dongdaying, which is 0/0 km away from Shenyang/KLOC. The Japanese army attacked the north and south, and the Northeast Army and Jiangwutang students retreated without fighting. At noon 12, the Japanese army occupied the second battalion of the Northeast Army. Because most of the troops of the Northeast Army carried out Chiang Kai-shek's "no resistance" order, overnight, the Japanese invaders easily occupied Shenyang City. The northeast frontier governor's office, the Liaoning provincial government, the arsenal, the airport, all important military and political organs and the official banks of the three northeastern provinces were all informed of the occupation, and all the military and police stationed in the provincial capital were disarmed. Shenyang Arsenal alone lost 1.5 million rifles, 60,000 pistols and heavy artillery. The aviation departments in the three northeastern provinces accumulated 250 field guns, more than 3 million rounds of various bullets, 65,438+10,000 rounds of artillery shells and 300 planes, all of which were plundered by the Japanese army; Its only vault with 70 million yuan in cash was also looted.

/kloc-On the night of September, 2008, the Kwantung Army launched an all-out attack along the Nanman Railway. /kloc-on 0/9, the Japanese army captured Yingkou, Tianzhuangtai, Gaiping, Fuxian, Dashiqiao, Haicheng, Liaoyang, Anshan, Tieling, Kaiyuan, Changtu, Siping Street, Gongzhuling, Anton, Fenghuang, Benxi, Fushun and Goubangzi along the Nanman and Anfeng railways. /KLOC-At 4: 00 a.m. in 0/9, the Japanese army launched a general attack on Changchun, and the defenders of China rose to resist. After that, he retreated angrily under the command of Xi QIA, chief of staff of Jilin Military Department. At about 22 o'clock that day, Changchun fell.

Chiang Kai-shek and Zhang Xueliang surrendered to the enemy's great rivers and mountains in the northeast.

On September 6th, Zhang Xueliang sent a telegram to Wang Yizhe, brigade commander of Shenyang Beidaying: "Now Sino-Japanese relations are very serious, so our army should be extra cautious in getting along with the Japanese army. No matter how provocative you are, you should be patient and not allow conflicts to avoid trouble. " On the same day, Zang Shiyi and Rong Zhen called again: "No matter how the Japanese find trouble, we must tolerate it, can't resist it, and can't make trouble." Rong Zhen, chief of staff, ordered the garrison of Peking University Camp: "Don't resist, don't move, put the gun in the warehouse and die. Everyone will die and sacrifice for the country. "

In August, the Seventh Brigade of the Northeast Army stationed in Shenyang Beidaying had a presentiment that the Japanese army would take action. Brigadier General Wang Yizhe made a special trip to Beiping to ask Zhang Xueliang for instructions. Zhang Xueliang said: "Jiang instructed not to resist for the time being, and then do it when it is ready. Everything was settled by diplomatic means in advance; ..... When you are in trouble, you must make concessions, avoid conflicts militarily, and adopt a delaying policy in diplomacy. " According to this policy, Wang Yizhe decided to take the countermeasures of "refusing to open the door and making limited concessions" against the Japanese attack. "As a last resort, the whole army retreated to gather near Cheshanzuizi and waited for action". In this way, non-resistance, from the central to the local, has been thoroughly implemented. As a result, large areas of land easily fell into enemy hands. In his diary, Senjiro, manager of Manchuria Railway Civil Construction Company, boasted that the Japanese invaders attacked the "Battle of Beitai (Da) Camp, which set a world war record. The enemy has 6.5438+0.2 million people, and the Kwantung Army has 654.38+0/20 troops. It fought fiercely for 7 hours and captured it. " The fall of Shenyang was not captured by the Japanese army, but basically came through the open door. When the Japanese attacked Beidaying, the gates of Shenyang were wide open. Rong Zhen and ZangShiyi discussed the ways to deal with it. They thought the Japanese consulate said that the Japanese army would not enter the city. "If we enter the city, we will close the city gate, and the Japanese army can also destroy it with a gun. If you don't open the city, listen. " Sure enough. The Japanese army entered the city through the open gate without firing a shot.

After the incident broke out, Chiang Kai-shek still refused to resist. Zhang Xueliang, who lives in Beiping, called Nanjing Chiang Kai-shek for instructions overnight, but he was not allowed to resist. Jiang instructed Zhang Xueliang: "The Japanese move is just an ordinary provocation. In order to avoid the expansion of the incident, there is absolutely no resistance. " Under this policy of non-resistance, the enemy surrendered and the great rivers and mountains in Northeast China fell.
