Stephen on the battlefield with a sprinkled hair.

On July 7, 1937, the 8th Squadron of the Japanese North China Garrison Army, led by Captain Setsuro Shimizu, drove to the area between Huilongmiao and Dayao, which was close to the Chinese garrison at Lugou Bridge. At 7:30 p.m., the Japanese army began exercises.

At 22:40, the Japanese army claimed that gunshots had been heard in the exercise area and that a soldier (Kikujiro Shimura) was "missing", and immediately forcibly demanded to enter Wanping City, the garrison of the Chinese garrison, to search, but the 219th Regiment of the 110th Brigade of the 37th Division of the 29th Chinese Army sternly refused. On the one hand, the Japanese army deployed for battle, and on the other hand, under the pretext of "gunfire" and the "disappearance" of soldiers, they pretended to negotiate with the Chinese side.

At around 24 o'clock, the inspection authorities received a letter from Matsui Taikuro, director of the Japanese secret service in Beiping. Matsui said: The Japanese troops were conducting a drill on the outskirts of Lugou Bridge yesterday, and when they suddenly heard the sound of gunfire, they immediately collected their troops and called them by name, and found that they were missing a single soldier, and that the person who fired the guns was suspected to be Chinese troops stationed at Lugou Bridge, and they believed that the soldiers who should have released the guns had already entered the city, and demanded that they immediately enter the city to search them.

The Chinese side refused to allow Japanese troops to enter the city in the middle of the night, which might cause local unrest, and that Chinese officers and soldiers were sleeping soundly and that the gunfire was not fired by the Chinese side. Soon after, Matsui sent another call to the Jicha authorities saying that if the Chinese side did not allow it, the Japanese army would forcibly enter the city by force to search.

At the same time, the Jicha authorities received a report from the Chinese defenders at Lugou Bridge that the Japanese army had formed an encirclement and offensive posture against Wanping City. In order to prevent the situation from escalating, the procuratorial authorities agreed to coordinate the dispatch of personnel to Lugou Bridge to investigate after consultation with the Japanese side.

At this time, the Japanese side claimed that the "missing" soldiers had returned to the team, but they did not report it.

At about 5 o'clock in the morning of 8 July, the Japanese army suddenly launched an artillery bombardment, and the headquarters of the 29th Chinese Army immediately ordered the officers and men of the front line: "Ensure the Lugou Bridge and Wanping City", and "the Lugou Bridge is the grave of Er, and it should live and die with the bridge and must not retreat." "The 3rd Battalion of the 219th Regiment, which guarded Lugou Bridge and Wanping City, rose up to resist under the command of regiment commander Ji Xingwen and battalion commander Jin Zhenzhong.

In order to occupy China, the Japanese army first invaded and occupied the northeastern part of China, and then continued to advance southward in an attempt to occupy North China.

From June 1937, the Japanese army stationed in Fengtai held a series of military exercises. On the night of July 7, 1937, the Japanese garrison at Lugouqiao, without informing the local Chinese authorities, held a so-called military exercise near the Chinese garrison's position, claiming that a Japanese soldier had disappeared during the exercise (in fact, the soldier had gone to the toilet and had returned shortly thereafter), and asked to enter the county town of Wanping, southwest of Beiping, to search. The Chinese defenders rejected this request.

The Japanese army attacked the Chinese defenders in the city around the Lugou Bridge. The 29th Regiment of the 37th Division of the 219th Army of the Chinese defenders returned fire. This opened the prelude to China's full-scale war of resistance against Japan.

Since the Japanese army occupied Northeast China in 1931, in order to further launch a full-scale war, it has successively transported troops into the customs. By 1936, the Japanese army and the puppet army had surrounded Beiping from the east, west, and north!

The Chinese defenders and the Japanese army fought fiercely at the Lugou Bridge, and the Japanese sent a large number of reinforcements to attack Tianjin and Beijing.

Tong Linge, deputy commander of the 29th Army, and Zhao Dengyu, commander of the 132nd Division, were killed in battle. In July, Tianjin fell. On the morning of July 8, the Japanese army surrounded the county town of Wanping and launched an attack on the Chinese garrison at Lugou Bridge.

The officers and men of the 29th National Revolutionary Army of the Chinese garrison fought back. The regiment commander Shen Zhongming personally went to the front line, commanded the battle, and finally died in battle. Only four people from a company stationed on the north side of the Lugou Bridge survived, and all the rest died heroically.

On July 7, 1937, the Japanese army provoked the Lugou Bridge Incident near Beiping, and the Sino-Japanese War broke out.

In order to monopolize China, Japanese imperialism launched a long-planned all-out war of aggression against China.

On the night of July 7, 1937, under the pretext that a soldier was missing, the Japanese army wanted to enter Wanping County, southwest of Beiping, to search. The Chinese defenders rejected this unreasonable demand. The Japanese opened fire and bombarded the Lugou Bridge and attacked the Chinese defenders in the city.

The Ji Xingwen Regiment of the 29th Army of the Chinese defenders fought back. It opened the prelude to the whole nation's resistance against Japan. Since the September 18 Incident in 1931, the Japanese invaders invaded and annexed China's northeast, and in order to further provoke a full-scale war of aggression against China, they have successively transported troops into the customs.

By 1936, the Japanese army had surrounded Beiping (present-day Beijing) from the east, west, and north. From June 1937, the Japanese troops stationed in Fengtai held a series of provocative military exercises. In 1937, the Japanese army stationed in China brazenly launched the "77 Incident" (also known as the "Lugou Bridge Incident"), and Japan began a full-scale invasion of China, and the War of Resistance against Japan broke out.

Be responsible to the people and serve the people!

At that time, Japan wanted to declare war on China, but it couldn't find a reason to send troops, so it was stationed at the border of Lugou Bridge. In the end, under the pretext that two Japanese soldiers were lost, suspected of being captured by Chinese soldiers, and wanted to cross the bridge to search for them, in fact, it was to march into China, and the Lugou Bridge was an important base for entering the Chinese mainland. The National War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression also began with the Lugou Bridge Incident.

On the night of July 7, 1937, when the Japanese army was exercising near the Lugou Bridge in the southwest of Beiping, they asked to enter Wanping County to search under the pretext that a soldier was "missing", but the 29th Army of the Chinese defenders sternly refused. The Japanese then opened fire on the Chinese defenders and shelled the city of Wanping. The 29th Army rose up to resist.

This is the 77 Incident that shocked China and the world, also known as the Lugou Bridge Incident. The July 7 Incident was the beginning of the Japanese imperialists' all-out war of aggression against China, and it was also the starting point of the Chinese nation's all-out war of resistance.

The sound of artillery at the Lugou Bridge aroused the enthusiasm of the people of the whole country for the war of resistance. The day after the incident, the Chinese Communist Party sent a telegram to the whole country, appealing:"Pingjin is in danger!

North China is in danger! The Chinese nation is in danger! "pointed out"Only when the whole nation carries out the war of resistance is our way out"。

Under the call of the Communist Party of China, the anti-Japanese war and national salvation movement surged all over the country.

The masses of workers and peasants and patriots from all walks of life actively supported the anti-Japanese front in various ways such as fundraising, labor, and propaganda. However, the Kuomintang pursued a passive anti-Japanese war line, they did not dare to mobilize the people, and hesitated and wavered in the face of the large-scale attack of the Japanese army, resulting in the fall of Beijing, Tianjin and other places at the end of July.

The Lugou Bridge Incident is also known as the "77 Incident". The beginning of the full-scale war of aggression against China launched by Japanese imperialism and the nationwide war of resistance against Japanese aggression in China. After the September 18 Incident in 1931, due to the non-resistance policy adopted by the Kuomintang, the Japanese invaders, after occupying the three northeastern provinces of China, invaded Rehe, invaded Shanghai, invaded Hebei, stepped up the increase of troops in North China, and prepared for a full-scale war of aggression against China.

After the Xi'an Incident, China's anti-Japanese national united front gradually took shape, and Japan, which was in the midst of a world capitalist economic crisis, attempted to extricate itself from its predicament by a full-scale war of aggression against China. On the night of July 7, 1937, the three major teams of the 1st Wing of the Japanese Army stationed in Fengtai, under the leadership of the Oiliang clan of Captain Setsuro Shimizu, conducted a military exercise north of the Lugou Bridge with the Lugou Shijian Ku Bridge as the target for attacking the old cave. At about midnight, the Japanese army threatened that one soldier was missing, demanded to enter Wanping City to search, and fired guns to demonstrate.

Matsui Taikuro, head of the Japanese secret service in Wanping, made representations to the Political Affairs Committee of the Jicha Procuratorate. The Chinese side said that it could search for it on its behalf and refused to allow the Japanese army to enter the city. The Japanese army shelled Wanping City that night, and transferred a battalion to the west of the canal to attack the Lugou Bridge from the east and west.

The 219th Regiment of the 37th Division of the 29th Army of the Chinese defenders rose up to resist under the leadership of the regiment commander Ji Xingwen. The Lugou Bridge Incident broke out. On the second day of the Lugou Bridge Incident, the CCP issued a telegram, calling for "only the whole nation to carry out the War of Resistance is our way out."

We demand immediate and resolute resistance to the attacking Japanese forces, and immediate preparations for new events. "Call on the people of the whole country to defend Pingjin and Tianjin with arms, defend North China, and shed the last drop of blood for the defense of the country!" "On the 9th, the Red Army telegraphed the whole country, asking for help to resist Japan.

The anti-Japanese salvation movement from all walks of life across the country developed rapidly. On July 15, Chiang Kai-shek made a speech in Lushan, saying that "when the last moment comes, we can only sacrifice to the end and resist the war to the end." On August 14, the People** issued the "Statement of Self-Defense and Anti-Japanese War".

On the 22nd, it was announced that the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army would be reorganized into the Eighth Route Army of the National Revolutionary Army, with an independent command structure. On September 22, the National News Agency issued the "Declaration of the Communist Party of China for the Promulgation of the Cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party". On the 23rd, Chiang Kai-shek issued a speech recognizing the legitimate status of the Chinese Communist Party.

The anti-Japanese national united front was formally formed, and China's national war of resistance against Japanese aggression began with the Lugou Bridge Incident.

Late night on July 7, 1937: deliberate provocation stern refusal to counterattack and retreat in the early morning of the second day: attack Wanping City Fight back the same night as the enemy:

All were annihilated and attacked from both sides to recapture the Lugou Bridge The day after the Lugou Bridge incident: (I don't know much about this).
