As early as the Meiji Restoration, while establishing the modern Mikado system, Japan quickly embarked on the path of militarism and formulated a "mainland policy" with China and North Korea as the main targets.
At the beginning of the 20th century, after the Russo-Japanese War, Japan replaced Russia, expanded its colonial power in the northeast of China, stationed the Kwantung Army, established the colonial organization "Nanman Railway Company", and used the northeast as the base for colonial expansion in China.
1937, the Japanese army shelled the ancient city of Wanping and Lugou Bridge and launched a full-scale war of aggression against China. The gunfire on July 7 announced the beginning of the national war of resistance.
After the Japanese army provoked the July 7th Incident, it aroused strong repercussions throughout the country. On the second day of the July 7th Incident, the Central Committee of China electrified the whole country and called: "China compatriots, Tianjin is in danger! North China is at stake! The Chinese nation is at stake! Only when the whole nation conducts the war of resistance is our way out! " And put forward "don't let Japanese imperialism occupy every inch of China!"
"The last drop of blood protects the country!" Loud slogans. Chiang Kai-shek put forward the policy of "not yielding, not expanding" and "not seeking war, but seeking resistance to Japan". Chiang Kai-shek once called Song and Qin Dechun (the second deputy commander of the 29th Army and the mayor of Beiping) and others, saying that "the ancient city of Wanping should stick to it" and "Lugouqiao and Changxindian must not be lost".

More than 8,000 people of the 29th Army stationed in Nanyuan (including more than 65,438 people+more than 0,500 military training students trained in Nanyuan) fought bloody battles.
