Someone else invaded my home with a lie
Beginning with the Lugou Bridge incident,
Japan kicked off a full-scale war of aggression against China,
At the same time, China also entered a period of all-out war of resistance
在日军的第一声炮响之后，前线总指挥、第29军第37师师长冯治安就给他们下达了命令，“卢沟桥即尔等坟墓，不能退让一步。 ”
Difficult times will create some people who are more determined
This historical event not only profoundly affected China's destiny, but also provided rich historical lessons and profound enlightenment for our descendants.
Now some people say that the historical burden of the Chinese is too heavy, forget the past, let's look forward, always remember the past, the burden is too heavy, you can't walk with a big burden on your back. I said, can we forget?
Looking back on this incident, especially why the Japanese army chose the Lugou Bridge as the starting site, one can't help but think deeply.
So I flipped through the history and found out
The Japanese army chose Lugou Bridge as the location of the incident, mainly for the following reasons:
1. The importance of strategic location
Lugou Bridge is 15 kilometers away from the front gate of Beiping, belongs to Wanping County, and its strategic position is very important. 7 kilometers to the east is Fengtai, which is the place where the three railways of Pinghan, Pingsui and Beining meet, and is the key point leading to Pingjin and Baoding; 6 kilometers southwest is Changxindian, which is an important town in the northern section of Pinghan Road, where all railway repair factories and material factories in North China are concentrated. Since September 1936, when the Japanese army occupied Fengtai, it posed a huge threat to the region, and they could cut off the connection between the three railways of Pinghan, Pingsui and Bac Ninh at any time. Therefore, if the Japanese army further occupied the Lugou Bridge area, Beiping would lose any barrier and be like what the Japanese army had.
Location: Lugou Bridge is located on the Yongding River, about 15 kilometers southwest of Beijing, and is the throat road leading to all parts of Beijing. This location makes the Lugou Bridge a key passage to the outside world in Beiping (now Beijing) and has extremely high strategic value.
: The Japanese army hoped to cut off the communication between Beiping and other parts of the south by occupying the Lugou Bridge, and then control the entire North China region.
2. The Japanese Army's Aggressive Plan and Deployment
Preparations: Prior to the Lugou Bridge Incident, the Japanese army had gradually taken control of the area around Beiping through a series of means, including the occupation of strategic points such as Fengtai. These actions made sufficient preparations for the Japanese army to launch an incident at the Lugou Bridge.
Provocative Military Exercises: Beginning in June 1937, the Japanese invading forces conducted provocative military exercises near the Lugou Bridge almost daily. These exercises were not only a provocation by the Japanese army against Chinese territory, but also a direct prelude to its unleashing of incidents.
3. The specific triggers of the incident
Excuse for the disappearance of a soldier: On the night of July 7, 1937, the Japanese army asked to enter Wanping County to search under the pretext that a soldier was "missing". This unreasonable demand was sternly rejected by the Chinese defenders, which led to a conflict between the two sides.
Direct Attack: Immediately after being refused, the Japanese opened fire on the Chinese defenders and shelled the city of Wanping. The Chinese defenders resisted, and a nationwide War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression broke out.
The Lugou Bridge Incident was not an isolated incident, but part of the Japanese army's long-term plan to invade China.
Prior to the incident, the Japanese army had gradually strengthened its military strength in North China through a series of means, and had created many provocations.
These actions showed that the Japanese army had been planning for a long time and was preparing to launch a full-scale war of aggression against China. The Lugou Bridge Incident was only one concrete step in the implementation of the Japanese army's aggressive plan.
Inspiration and reflection on the individual
1. Remember history and don't forget the national shame
As Chinese in the new era, we should deeply understand the truth and cherish the hard-won peace
2. Firm belief and inheritance of spirit
In the face of the Japanese army's aggression and provocation, the Chinese military and people showed firm conviction and tenacious spirit of resistance. They defended the dignity and territorial integrity of the country with their blood and lives.
This spirit is worth learning and inheriting. In the face of difficulties and challenges, we should:
Third, to strengthen national defense construction, strength is the confidence
National defense is as important as sunlight and air,
The Lugou Bridge Incident also made us profoundly aware of the importance of national defense construction. Only with a strong national defense force can we effectively defend the security and territorial integrity of the country.
Therefore, we should strengthen national defense building, enhance the combat effectiveness of the armed forces and their ability to deal with emergencies, and ensure the long-term peace and stability of the country.
Fourth, unite as one to build the Chinese dream
The Lugou Bridge Incident also tells us that only by uniting as one and uniting as one can we overcome all difficulties and challenges. In today's China, we are facing many new challenges and opportunities.
Only when the people of all ethnic groups in the country are closely united and work together can we create a better future.
In short, the Lugou Bridge Incident is not only a history of humiliation, but also a mirror and a wake-up call.
It reminds us to remember history and not to forget the national shame; Firm belief and courage to fight; strengthen national defense construction and safeguard national security; Unite as one to build the Chinese dream.
Only in this way can we continue to advance and grow stronger, and strive for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
