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

Liutiao Lake is located 2.5km north of Shenyang Inner City, between Shenyang Station and Wenguantun Station. There are two reasons why Kwantung Army chose this place as the blasting site: First, it is remote and convenient to do things; 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 beneficial to attack.

at 22: 2 on the 18th, the explosive was ignited, with a loud noise, which shook the sky and blew up a section of railway track. The fully armed Japanese army, which took the explosion as a signal and had already been prepared, attacked the intended target, and at the same time, the Japanese artillery near Shenyang Station violently bombarded the North Camp. At 23: 46, Hua Guzheng sent the first telegram to Lushun Kwantung Army Command in the name of dohihara, falsely claiming that Japanese troops destroyed the railway and attacked the Japanese garrison on the west side of Beidaying in northern Shenyang, and the Japanese and Chinese armies were in conflict. After receiving the telegram, Shigeru Honjō, commander of Kwantung Army, Mitsuji Miyake, chief of staff, smile Ishihara and others urgently studied countermeasures, and agreed that this was an "excellent opportunity" to resort to force. Shigeru Honjō immediately decided, according to the predetermined plan, to quickly focus the main force on Shenyang, pre-emptively, "punish" the China army and occupy the three northeastern provinces.

On the 19th, between 1: 3am and 2: am, Shigeru Honjō gave orders to Kwantung Army: The 2nd Division stationed in Liaoyang, the 1st and 5th Battalions of Gongzhuling Independent Garrison, etc. quickly went 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 asked for help from the Japanese troops stationed in Korea. Finally, Shigeru Honjō formally reported his orders and the situation to the army. In order to facilitate the command, at 3: 3 am on the 19th, Shigeru Honjō led the Kwantung Army Command to rush to Shenyang.

On the night of September 18th, the Japanese troops stationed in Shenyang were only the 2nd Battalion of the Independent Garrison and the 29th Regiment of the 2nd 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 am on the 19th, and occupied Peking University Camp at 5: 3 with the second battalion. At the same time, the troops and teachers of the Second Division stationed in Haicheng and Liaoyang also arrived in Shenyang at 5 a.m. on the 19th, acting together with the 29th regiment originally stationed in Shenyang, and occupied the inner city of Shenyang at 6: 3. Then the division took joint action with the independent garrison to attack Dongdaying, 1 kilometers away from Shenyang. The Japanese army attacked north and south, and the Northeast Army and Jiangwutang students retreated without a fight. At about 12 noon, the Japanese army occupied the second battalion of the Northeast Army. As most troops of the Northeast Army carried out Chiang Kai-shek's order of "no resistance", overnight, the Japanese invaders easily occupied Shenyang City. The Northeast Border Guard Chief's Office, the Liaoning Provincial Government, the Arsenal, the airport, all important military and political organs and the official bank of the three northeastern provinces were informed of the occupation, and all the military and police stationed in the provincial capital were disarmed. Only Shenyang Arsenal lost 15, rifles, 6, pistols and heavy artillery. There are 25 field guns, more than 3 million rounds of various bullets and 1, rounds of artillery shells. The 3 planes accumulated by the Aviation Department of the three northeastern provinces were all plundered by the Japanese army. Its only vault had 7 million yuan in cash, which was also looted.

On the night of September 18th, the Kwantung Army launched a full-scale offensive along the Nanman Railway. On the 19th, Japanese troops captured Yingkou, Tianzhuangtai, Gaiping, Fuxian, Dashiqiao, Haicheng, Liaoyang, Anshan, Tieling, Kaiyuan, Changtu, Siping Street, Gongzhuling, Anton, Phoenix, Benxi, Fushun, Goubangzi and other places along the Nanman and Anfeng railways. At 4 o'clock in the morning on the 19th, the Japanese army launched a general attack on Changchun, and China's defenders rose to resist. After that, they retreated with anger under the command of Xi Qia, chief of staff of the 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 6, Zhang Xueliang sent a telegram to Wang Yizhe, the brigade commander of Beidaying in Shenyang, saying, "Sino-Japanese relations are very serious now, so our army should be extra cautious when dealing with the Japanese army. No matter how provocative you are, you should be patient and not allow conflict to avoid trouble. " On the same day, Zang Shiyi and Rong Zhen called again: "No matter how the Japanese find things, we must tolerate them, and we must not resist them and cause trouble." Rong Zhen, chief of staff, ordered the garrison of Peking University Camp: "Don't resist, don't move, put the guns 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 premonition that the Japanese army would take action. Brigadier Wang Yizhe made a special trip to Peiping to ask for instructions from Zhang Xueliang. Zhang Xueliang said: "Jiang instructed not to resist for the time being, and then did it when he was ready. Everything was settled diplomatically in advance; ..... In case of trouble, we should make concessions, avoid conflicts militarily, and adopt the policy of procrastination in diplomacy. " Wang Yizhe, according to this policy, decided to take the countermeasures of "refusing to open the door and making a limited concession" for the Japanese attack, and "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 level, has been thoroughly implemented. As a result, a large area of land easily fell into the enemy. In his diary, Kamiya Senjiro, manager of the civil construction company of Manchuria Railway, boasted that the Japanese invaders attacked "the war of Beitai (Da) Battalion, which set a world war record. The enemy had 12, people, while the Kanto military 65 people fought for 7 hours with 1/2 of their troops, and captured it". The fall of Shenyang was not captured by the Japanese army, but basically came through the open door. When the Japanese army attacked Peking University Camp, the gate of Shenyang was wide open. Rong Zhen and Zang Shiyi discussed ways to deal with it. They thought that the Japanese consulate had said that the Japanese army would not enter the city. "If we enter the city, we will close the gate, and the Japanese army can also use guns to destroy it. If we don't open the city, we will listen to it." Sure enough. The Japanese army entered the city from 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 more than a dozen times overnight, but he was not allowed to resist. Jiang instructed Zhang Xueliang: "The Japanese army's move is just an ordinary provocation. In order to avoid the expansion of the incident, it absolutely does not hold resistance." Under this policy of non-resistance, the enemy was surrendered and the great rivers and mountains in Northeast China fell to the enemy.

September 18th Incident

On September 18th, 1931, the Japanese Kwantung Army stationed in the northeast of China suddenly attacked Shenyang and occupied the northeast by force. At 1 o'clock on the night of September 18th, in order to conquer China, the Japanese Kwantung Army blew up a section of Nanman Railway near Liutiao Lake in the northern suburb of Shenyang by itself, and then falsely claimed that it was done by the China army, and immediately sent troops to attack Peking University Camp and Shenyang Inner City, where China troops were stationed. Nanjing National Government adhered to the policy of non-resistance. At 8: 3 on the 19th, Beidaying and Shenyang Inner City were successively occupied by the Japanese army. At noon, Dongdaying and its nearby areas also fell, and Shenyang completely fell. On the same day, the Japanese army also captured more than 2 cities including Yingkou, Phoenix, Anshan, Fushun, Anton (now Dandong) and Changchun. On the 21st, Japanese troops stationed in North Korea crossed the border to reinforce the Kwantung Army, and a week later, they occupied most of Liaoning and Jilin provinces. In October, the Japanese army began to invade Heilongjiang Province and occupied Qiqihar on November 19th. In late December, the Japanese army invaded Jinzhou and occupied western Liaoning, pushing Shanhaiguan, and the Northeast Army was forced to retreat to Shanhaiguan. On February 5, 1932, the Japanese army occupied Harbin. At this point, all three northeastern provinces fell. The September 18th Incident was the beginning of Japanese colonization of China, after which the three northeastern provinces were ravaged and enslaved for 14 years. It is also the beginning of the unprecedented upsurge of anti-Japanese and national salvation by people from all walks of life in China, which has a great influence on the history of both China and.
