episode 2 said: After the Red Army’s order to expedition the West, Commander Peng Dehuai led the expedition to the West. From May 19 to 27, 1936, he successively advanced from Yanchang, Yanchuan, and other places in northern Shaanxi to Gansu and Ningxia, fighting all the way, and finally achieved a huge victory in the Western Expedition.
Peng Dehuai commanded the Red Army's Western Expedition troops, and in accordance with the strategic policies formulated by the Party Central Committee, he conquered the cities and expanded the base areas, which took nearly half a year. By the end of the entire Western Expedition, the left and right armies fought more than 20 times. These battles were big and small, but overall they all hit the enemy strongly and achieved great victory in the Western Expedition.
At that time, Central Red Army arrived in northern Shaanxi. Under the leadership of Mao Zedong and Peng Dehuai, they actively carried out Eastern Expedition and Western Expedition, Red Fourth Front Army and Red Second Front Army , and were also on the way to Long March .
Under the leadership of Zhu De, Zhang Guotao, He Long, Ren Bishi and others, they continued to move and move closer to the Central Red Army in northern Shaanxi until 1936, under the support of the Central Red Army's Western Expedition, they met with the First Red Army in Gansu and Ningxia respectively.
The three main Red Army convened, marking the end of the great Long March. From then on, the Yan'an period of the Chinese revolution began. The Central Committee of the Communist Party of China commanded the eight-year War of Resistance Against Japan and three-year War of Liberation in the Yan'an Revolutionary Base Area until the founding of New China in .
After the failure of the fifth anti-encirclement and suppression of the Central Red Army, it carried out a major strategic shift. After 25,000 miles of Long March to northern Shaanxi, it actively carried out the eastern and western expeditions, and announced to the Chinese people: stop the civil war in , and agree to the anti-Japanese proposals, it was the Japanese who were crazy invading China, and the National Government implemented the non-resistance policy. The Central Red Army's Western Expedition was carried out under such a large historical context.
On September 18, 1931, the Japanese Kwantung Army took advantage of the opportunity of Zhang Xueliang to mobilize the main force of Northeast Army to enter the pass and participate in the Central Plains War. He stayed in North China . The Japanese Kwantung Army Commander Honjo Shima personally planned it. He destroyed a small section of South Manchuria Railway in Liutiao Lake near Shenyang, slandering this as the cause of the Chinese National Revolutionary Army. That night, the National Revolutionary Army in Beidaying, Shenyang launched an attack on the Liutiao Lake Incident, also known as the September 18th Incident, marking the official outbreak of Japan's invasion of China. When the incident broke out, the chief of staff of the Northeast Army stationed in Shenyang, Rong Zhen , Zhang Xueliang and others in Peking followed Chiang Kai-shek's orders to prevent the troops from fighting against the Japanese army. However, the regiment commander Wang Tiehan and others still led their troops to resist. There are also Shenyang police led by Huang Xiansheng, which became one of the few armed forces in the Northeast to give the Japanese army a blow. But at that time, when the entire Northeast Army did not resist, the only resistance was soon defeated by the Japanese army.

The next morning, the entire Shenyang city was occupied by the Japanese army. Most of the police who participated in the resistance were massacred after disarming. Zhang Xueliang, the main military leader of Northeast China, was demoted and went to Europe to avoid public condemnation. Within two months of the
Incident, the Japanese army quickly occupied many important cities in China's three northeastern provinces, except for the fierce resistance from the Mazhanshan tribe in Heilongjiang and did not suffer major losses.
After the September 18th Incident, the people of Northeast China spontaneously organized a large number of Northeast Anti-Japanese Volunteers to resist the invasion of Japanese warlords. These resistances were sympathized and supported by the people in the pass.
In February 1932, the Japanese established Manchukuo in the Northeast, supported the last emperor of the Qing Dynasty, Aisin Gioro- Puyi, and became the nominal leader of the puppet government. This regime was actually owned by the Japanese Kwantung Army. They used the Japanese and Manchurian goodwill ambassadors as an excuse to occupy the Northeast to continue their invasion.
In the face of a great enemy, Chiang Kai-shek did not want to resist foreign aggression, but he still advocated the policy of first pacifying the country with foreign aggression, fought a civil war, suppressed the enthusiasm of the people of the whole country to resist Japan, and frantically implemented the non-resistance policy. As a result, Japan's militarism's ambitions became increasingly greater, and it was no longer satisfied with annexing , the Northeast region, and the delusion of occupying the entire China.
