The July 7th Incident (Marugouqiao Incident) - the beginning of Japan's all-out war of aggression against China
After the September 18th Incident in 1931, the Japanese invaders invaded Northeast my country and further challenged the A full-scale war of aggression against China began, and troops were gradually transported into the customs. By 1936, the Japanese army had surrounded Peiping (today's Beijing) from the east, west and north. Since June 1937, the Japanese troops stationed in Fengtai have continuously held provocative military exercises.
On the night of July 7, the Japanese garrison at Marco Polo Bridge held a so-called military exercise near the Chinese garrison position without notifying the Chinese local authorities. They falsely claimed that a Japanese soldier was missing and requested entry to the southwest of Peiping. The search in Wanping County (today's Marco Polo Bridge Town) was strictly rejected by the Chinese garrison, and the Japanese army immediately launched an attack on Wanping City and Marco Polo Bridge. The 219th Regiment of the 37th Division of the 29th Chinese Army Garrison fought back and put up a tenacious resistance.

As early as the Meiji Restoration period, while establishing the modern emperor system, Japan quickly embarked on the path of militarism of expansion and aggression, and The so-called "mainland policy" was formulated with China and North Korea as the main targets of aggression. At the beginning of this century, Japan replaced Russia after the Russo-Japanese War, expanded its colonial power in Northeast China, stationed the Kwantung Army, established the colonial agency "South Manchuria Railway Company", and used Northeast China as a base for colonial expansion into China. During the First World War, Japan took advantage of the inability of Western powers to look eastward and expanded its aggression against China. It sent troops to Shandong to coerce Yuan Shikai to accept Japan's "Twenty-one Demands" in an attempt to engulf China, and extended its aggression to the mainland of China. After World War I, Japan attempted to get rid of its political and economic crisis by intensifying its plundering of China, North Korea and other Asian countries, and carefully planned its invasion of China at the 1927 "Eastern Conference". On September 18, 1931, Japan launched a surprise attack on Northeast my country and occupied the entire Northeast in more than three months. The following year, the Japanese army attacked Shanghai (January 28 Incident), captured a large area of ??North China, and threatened Peking and Tianjin. They also established a pseudo-Manchukuo in the Northeast and launched a so-called "autonomy movement" in North China in an attempt to occupy these areas for a long time. After the "National Policy Benchmarks", the overall strategic plan formulated by Japan, was released in 1936, Japan held a "General Officer" exercise and explained to the general officers participating in the exercise its war deployment for launching a full-scale war of aggression against China. After that, Japan increased its troops in Northeast China, deployed its elite Kwantung Army to station in the Pingjin area, and held frequent military exercises for provocation, looking for opportunities to provoke war. On July 3, 1937, the Kwantung Army Chief of Staff Hideki Tojo proposed to the Japanese government an immediate attack on China, and then launched the "Lugou Bridge Incident" (i.e., the "July 7 Incident") on July 7. On July 9, the warring forces of China and Japan reached a verbal ceasefire agreement. But at the same time, Japan took the opportunity to deploy more than 20,000 troops and more than 100 aircraft from Northeast China and North Korea to North China. On July 17, the Japanese Army General Staff Headquarters formulated the "Guideline for War Against China When Exercising Troops in North China", and the Japanese government decided to mobilize 400,000 troops in an attempt to destroy China by force.
On the second day of the July 7th Incident, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China sent a message to the whole country, calling on the Chinese military and civilians to unite and jointly resist the Japanese invaders. People of all ethnic groups and all walks of life across the country responded enthusiastically, and the anti-Japanese and national salvation movement reached an unprecedented high. Under this situation, Chiang Kai-shek delivered a speech in Lushan on July 17, announcing war against Japan.
As an important part of the world's anti-fascist war, China's Anti-Japanese War resisted and contained more than two-thirds of the total strength of the Japanese army. China's military and civilian casualties reached more than 35 million. After eight years of bloody fighting, the Chinese people finally won the great victory of the Anti-Japanese War and made an indelible contribution to the victory of the World Anti-Fascist War. On August 15, 1945, Japan announced its unconditional surrender. On September 2, Japan signed the surrender document. September 3 is designated as the Victory Day of the Anti-Japanese War.
Summary: Japan is generally rubbish. Japan’s horoscope is: when encountering weakness, become strong; when encountering strength, become weak. If little Japan dares to come again, we would rather sacrifice China’s last virgin. And I am determined not to let go of the last virgin in Japan! ~! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
What depresses me the most is: Why didn’t the U.S. atomic bomb sink Japan?
I hope every conscientious and bloody Chinese will stand up!
