Japanese army invaded Qiqihar
30 million people from Northeast China and began a 14-year slavery rule. The depth of suffering and the pain are indescribable.
" September 18th Incident " is a great shame for the Northeast Army , and also a great shame for the Zhang Xueliang , and even a great shame for the Chinese nation. Zhang Xueliang said this in his later years:
If you want to say that I just don’t want to resist, I’m not convinced at all. But you have to blame me for saying that as a rank of officials, I am such a big deal in the Northeast, and I didn’t understand the situation of the Japanese. I still regard Japan as a normal Japan at this time, and I didn’t expect Japan to do this. I didn’t expect that this matter was not enough. As a rank of officials, I have to bear this responsibility...
words, although I am willing to bear certain responsibilities, I am more or less looking for reasons. In later generations, many people also commented on their merits and demerits with their excellent performance in " Xi'an Incident ".
I want to say that Zhang Xueliang lost the Northeast, which was not his fault, and there were some reasons. But how can he excuse himself from the title of sinner for the ages?
is as strong as a mountain of evidence, how to cleanse it?
cannot be played, but in fact it is innocent
In Zhang Xueliang's self-defense, there is another paragraph:
I don't have enough information, and I'm wrong in my judgment! My judgment is that Japan has never dared to expand like this and never dared to do it so well, so it still dares not. I also judge that doing this will not be beneficial to you in Japan! If you want to do this, how do you explain it in the world? At that time, we were also superstitious about the Nine-National Convention, , the League of Nations, and the open door. If you do this, how can you stand in the world?
I partially agree with this passage. But "insufficient intelligence and wrong judgment" is pure nonsense. Fundamentally, we still look forward to the League of Nations interfering, and hope that Western countries such as Britain and the United States will stop the Japanese invaders' aggression.
Chinese representative to the League of Nations accused Japan of aggression
As early as 1927, Japan determined the policy of invading Northeast China by force. In 1931, successively created the "Zhongcun Incident" and "0,000 Baoshan Incident ", and in July, he mobilized heavy artillery to target Beidaying. This series of signals is here, and it is nonsense to say that the information is insufficient and the judgment is wrong.
"Wife country has no diplomacy" and "If you fall behind, you will be beaten." , a truth that we have exchanged for countless blood and tears in modern times, may indeed be unknown to many people on the land of China at that time, including Zhang Xueliang, including , Chiang Kai-shek, and .
From " September 18th " to " Lugou Bridge Incident " to " Songhu Battle " and so on, Chiang Kai-shek and the warlords at that time pursued the "internal stability before fighting foreign countries" or pursued the "non-resistance" policy of , an important reason was to rely on the West.
The fallen northeast, the Japanese flag
The naive idea of expecting one great power to stop another great power is actually a traitor. powers are not "bodhisattvas". Even if they really intervene, they will have to be "charged". The difference is nothing more than that is forcibly infringing on one hand and selling off our interests on the other hand.
To put it nicely, it is called innocent and honest, but to put it really really, it is called "shaking your tail is better than getting beaten." I was beaten and didn't dare to fight back. I also thought about shaking my tail and begging for mercy, hoping that the so-called "master" would come to help.
So, it is not a mistake in judgment, it is fundamentally caused by slave thinking.
dared not fight, but in fact it was unfaithful and unfilial
During the "September 18 Incident", the military strength comparison in Northeast China was 165,000 Northeast Army and more than 2 Japanese Kwantung Army.
If these tens of thousands of Northeast Army fight against the Japanese with real swords and guns, can they win? My personal judgment is that most of them still cannot win. On the one hand, the Northeast Army stationed in the country has limited actual combat power, not the main force: on the other hand, the Japanese invaders are indeed very strong, and they will continue to increase their troops.
Well-equipped Northeast Army
but if you can't win, don't you fight? Have you given up resisting if you can’t win? Zhang Xueliang called himself a "grass official" and had the responsibility to defend the country. The Northeast was his base camp, and he gave up if he said he would give up. Fundamentally, I just dare not fight.
On June 4, 1928, the Japanese Kwantung Army set up an ambush on the way back to Zhang Zuolin and killed the " Northeast King " at Huanggutun . When Zhang Zuolin was alive, although he cooperated more than the Japanese and sold out his interests, he was still relatively tough. 400,000 Kanto Army has always been his capital to wrestle with the Japanese army. After taking over
, Zhang Xueliang quickly became the backbone of the Northeast Army. Logically speaking, for Zhang Xueliang, who had a grudge against the Japanese army to kill his father, he should have fought with the Japanese invaders to the end, whether from the perspective of national hatred, family hatred, or interests, but the facts are completely opposite.
The reason is, first, fate is important, second, there is a way out, and third, the benefits are more serious:
On the one hand, Zhang Xueliang realized that cooperation may also be a death, so it is better to resist. In fact, he did make some moves after taking office to compete with the Japanese invaders. However, when the Japanese invaders showed their fangs, Zhang Xueliang had to think about whether he would lose his life if he fought to the death.
On the other hand, on December 29, 1928, Zhang Xueliang announced the " Northeast Change Banner ", supporting Chiang Kai-shek and realizing China's nominal unification. For this reason, he obtained the territory and large funds of the four provinces of Shanxi, Hebei, Cha and Suizhou, and the three cities of Beiping, Tianjin, and Qingdao, and the Northeast Army also maintained its independence. This "buy and sale" allowed Zhang Xueliang to retreat to the pass and transfer more than 100,000 most elite Northeast Army to the south to operate his new territory.
Zhang Xueliang and Chiang Kai-shek
On the other hand, Zhang Xueliang once said: "I use a soldier from the Northeast to be strong and the enemy is strong and the strength of the whole country, and the strength of the strength of the weak are different." There is no problem with this sentence of . In the final analysis, Zhang Xueliang is still a warlord, and his personal strength and interests are far more important than the national interests. When Chiang Kai-shek was determined not to resist, Zhang Xueliang obviously did not want to make the case. It’s okay to win, but it’s all for yourself to lose.
However, for Zhang Xueliang at that time, what Chiang Kai-shek said was nothing more than just introducing it as a shield if he wanted to do it. If he didn't want to do it, he could do it himself. To put it bluntly, Zhang Xueliang felt that he had only this little family background and did not dare to fight against the Japanese invaders. He did not want to be a hero who died and sacrificed his life for the country. He just wanted to be a powerful and rich warlord.
Zhang Xueliang and Northeast Army generals
Privately, Zhang Xueliang had a grudge with the Japanese army to kill his father, and for the public, the Northeast Army was connected with the Northeast bloodline and had the responsibility to defend the territory. is nothing more than an excuse for self-disclaimer.
Soldiers are not loyal to the country, sons are not filial to their fathers, and officials are not protecting the people. Isn’t it because they are unfaithful, unfilial, unkind, and unrighteous?
doesn't want to fight, but it actually destroys itself. On September 18, 1937, a group of military and political officials in the Northeast attended the Peking Opera charity performance at the Zhonghe Theater outside Qianmen, raising funds for the major flood in Liaoxi. Mr. Mei Lanfen performed "The Peak of the Universe", and Zhang Xueliang accompanied the envoys from various countries to listen to the opera.
Mei Lanfang "Cosmic Front"
At this time, the "September 18th Incident" that shocked China and the world had already happened. After hearing this, Zhang Xueliang hurriedly left the scene to deal with the sudden change in the Northeast.
However, when the angry Northeast Army was about to fight back to the death, it received the order of Zhang Xueliang, the commander-in-chief of the Northeast Frontier Defense Force, reposted by the commander-in-chief of the Northeast Frontier Defense Force: "No resistance, no movement, put the gun in the warehouse, stand up and die, everyone will be virtuous and sacrifice for the country."
On September 19, Zhang Xueliang said in an interview with a reporter from Ta Kung Pao: "I have ordered our soldiers to provoke the Japanese soldiers and not to resist. Therefore, our army in Beidaying ordered the confiscation of the ordnance and stored it in the warehouse."
"September 18 Incident"The Chinese and Japanese troops disarmed the Shenyang Police Force
This non-resistance policy , on the one hand, it was because Chiang Kai-shek had such an order, and on the other hand, it was actually decided by Zhang Xueliang. It is obvious that under the domestic situation at that time, whether Chiang Kai-shek could really order Zhang Xueliang was still a matter of two things.
is like this, 8,000 Northeast Army soldiers, without firing a gun or a gun, and without injuring a soldier, gave the huge Beida camp to the 300 Japanese army. Northeast soldiers with blood, not to mention blood, even their faces were torn off. What a "non-resistance" policy.
However, it is not true that the Northeast Army did not resist. On the 18th, Wang Tiehan, the commander of the 620th Regiment, fought a battle with the Japanese invaders in Beidaying, and 25 Japanese invaders were killed. On the 19th, the troops in the South Camp of Changchun rose up to resist and killed 42 Japanese soldiers. On November 18, Ma Zhanshan led his troops to fight the first large-scale battle with the Japanese army at Daxing River Bridge in Qiqihar, with bloody battles for three days and two nights. He said: 4 "I am ordered to be the chairman of the province. I have the responsibility to defend my territory and cannot be surrendered to the general." also leads the 219th regiment to resist at Lugou Bridge , Huang Xiansheng, the founder of the Northeast Volunteer Army , and Guan Yuheng, who executed Japanese spies in the Nakamura incident...
wang Tiehan
These are either sporadic or organized resistance, which naturally cannot reverse the general trend of the fall of the Northeast. Their resistance is naturally a move of disobedience, and the glory and praise that come from this naturally have nothing to do with Zhang Xueliang who ordered not to resist.
Did Zhang Xueliang ever think that the reason why the Northeast Army can be called the Northeast Army is because it is rooted in the Northeast land, its roots and its soul are Northeast. No matter how prosperous North China is, it is not the ownership of the Northeast Army. If the Northeast is lost, the Northeast Army will lose its roots and soul, and even more so much of the Northeast's resources and industrial foundation. These "family foundations" were our capital to resist aggression, but they became the large rear, large base, and large warehouse for the Japanese invasion of China.

The fall of the entire northeast has caused China to lose 11.5% of its territory, 8% of its population, more than 70% of its iron ore, soybeans, more than 30% of its livestock, coal mines and forests, more than 50% of its oil, and more than 40% of its railways. There is also a heavy industrial system including arsenals, steel plants, airports, power plants, mining plants, etc.

The fall of the northeast, we can say that it has lost a lifeline of heavy industry, an economic lifeline, a grain lifeline, and an energy lifeline... fell without a fight, and the will of the whole country to resist the war also suffered serious setbacks. The "three months" crazy remarks made by the Japanese invaders during the full invasion of China are not unrelated to the former "no resistance".
Historically, merits and demerits have never been compromised. Even though, in the "Xi'an Incident", Zhang Xueliang made a major contribution to the suspension of civil war and joint anti-Japanese war, and could not be ruled out. After losing the Northeast, he knew his shame and then braved himself to make up for the reasons for his own sins.
Zhang Xueliang
"September 18th Incident" and the subsequent fall of Northeast China, no matter how people in later generations find reasons and excuses for them, history will not change. Zhang Xueliang is naturally the most direct person in charge and is a sinner forever.
Remember "September 18th", don't forget the national humiliation, and we will be self-reliant.
