According to the original plan, the Kwantung Army had no intention of attacking Helbin for the time being, and out of fear of the strength of the Soviet Union and to avoid a two-front battle between the Japanese army, Japan did not dare to rashly send troops to Helbin to offend the Soviet Union's sphere of influence in the northeastern and northeastern regions.

On September 22, 1931, the Japanese Chief of Staff telegraphed Honjo Shigeru, commander of the Kwantung Army, not to send troops to the area north of Changchun, and that the attack on Harbin must be decided by the Cabinet.

On the same day, the Japanese Cabinet also made a decision that even if the Harbin side was in an emergency and the overseas Chinese were threatened, the Japanese army would not take the form of sending troops to protect the Japanese nationals in the Harbin area.

In the original history, on September 24, 1931, the Japanese chief of staff once again telegraphed Honjo Shigeru: Even if the situation changes urgently, it must not advance to Harbin.

This shows the mentality of the Japanese, the so-called strong is weak, which probably refers to the virtue of the Japanese.

On November 19, 1931, the People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs of the Soviet Union (equivalent to Foreign Minister) Livinov said at a meeting with Japanese Ambassador Hirota: "It [refers to the Soviet government] attaches great importance to maintaining and consolidating existing relations with Japan and pursues a strict policy of non-intervention in conflicts between countries. It expects the Japanese government to strive to preserve the existing relations between the two countries and, in its own actions and orders, it should consider not to undermine the interests of the Soviet Union. ”

After the September 18 Incident, the Japanese Government made many contacts with the Soviet side, and the Soviet Union repeatedly reaffirmed its "policy of non-interference" and proposed the conclusion of a Soviet-Japanese non-aggression pact to further ensure that Japan would not point the spearhead of aggression at itself.

In this regard, the Japanese Foreign Minister later said with gratitude: "At the beginning of the Manchuria Incident, although the Soviet Government advertised the principle of neutrality and non-interference, it agreed to transport Japanese troops by the Middle East Road, and in the ******** incident, it provided tremendous assistance to the rescue of Japanese residents. Moreover, in view of the progress of events, the Soviet government proposed to me at the end of the sixth year of the Showa period to conclude a non-aggression pact. ”

The Secretary of State of the United States, another relatively heavyweight country, issued a note to Japan and China declaring that Japan's aggression against Manchuria was an interference in the internal affairs of Chinese territory and a violation of the Treaty of Versailles, which was therefore not recognized by the US government.

This is known as "**** bioism".

China and other European countries generally agreed with the U.S. government's statement, but Japan ignored the announcement.

The United States' response to the "18 September" incident has gone through a process of passivity and wait-and-see, to cooperation with the League of Nations, and then to "non-recognition," and the general trend is to develop in the direction of gradually becoming tougher. The Western world is worried that Japan's increasingly obvious ambitions will harm their interests in China.

Although the United States is on the rise, its influence on the world is increasing, and its voice is also relatively increasing. However, because the U.S. policy of domestic isolation did not take strong and substantive action, the U.S. response was weak and weak to contain Japan.

"The Chinese nation has reached the most dangerous time!"

After the September 18 Incident, the songs of the Volunteers sang all over the country, sounding the alarm of the nation's peril, and more and more Chinese sons and daughters realized that the crisis of the Chinese nation was approaching.

In the process of gradually deepening the sense of national crisis, the sense of national responsibility has also been rapidly raised, and many patriotic personages have actively expressed their political views and propositions, calling on the people of the whole country to "thoroughly understand the truth of the national crisis!" ”

"Everyone should regard it as a pain that is painful to oneself and unite in a spirit of resolute struggle and struggle," and the broad masses of the people and people from all walks of life actively participated in the anti-Japanese salvation movement in various forms.

Students and workers from all over the country took to the streets to hold protests, strongly demanding that they resist the Japanese invasion.

Japan, on the other hand, insisted that the Northeast Army blew up the railroad and provoked the incident, and widely publicized it in the media. It seems that the September 18 Incident was provoked by the Chinese military and misled world public opinion in favor of Japan.

The Japanese Government is aggressive in public opinion, while the Nationalist Government is weak and seeks the mediation of the international community.

The two sides attacked and defended, and made a judgment.

On 23 September, a scoop published by an American journalist appeared in the media, causing an uproar in world public opinion.

The news revealed the truth of the September 18 Incident in the form of pictures and texts, and all the facts that happened on the night of the September 18 Incident were very clearly displayed in the photos published in the frames.

Japanese soldiers patrolled to Wicker Lake to change several Chinese bodies into Northeast Army clothing, and then detonated and placed several bodies on the scene.

Although the process was similar to what the Japanese government said, the entire person involved in the operation was not a Chinese soldier, but a Japanese soldier who disguised himself as a soldier of the Northeast Army.

This report is very detailed, and the photos reflect the whole process, and also expose the ugly face of the Japanese, and this scene of the Japanese self-directed and self-staged conspiracy to create a pretext for the invasion of Northeast China has been exposed, and no matter how the Japanese explain it, it is difficult to refute this fact.

This slap in the face made the Japanese very embarrassed and speechless.

When the Japanese government was pressed by reporters, they all said the same thing: no comment.

What can they say?

I can't say anything, the latest report, except for the previous photos, the corpses placed by the Japanese army are the same as the Japanese reports, and the photos of the two sides are completely consistent and indisputable.

The despicable acts of the Japanese infuriated the Chinese people, and the nationwide protests reached a climax.

On 24 September, American reporters once again broke the major news that the Second Division of the Japanese Kwantung Army was attacking Mukden, and the battle was very fierce, and the Mukden City police and armed forces went all out to block the Japanese attack, and on the same day they gathered and annihilated a complete brigade of the Second Division of the Kwantung Army.

Nima, the police are also considered the army?

The Kwantung Army, a brigade of the regular army, was wiped out by the Mukden police, and this news became a joke all over the world, especially in the military circles, and everyone raised their fingers to the Japanese army.

You can't slap your face again and again, this slap is too loud.

This news reached the Japanese military headquarters, which really had no face to see, and was angry and sternly questioned the commander of the Kwantung Army, Shigeru Honjo.

Shigeru Honjo knew about this, but now he had to endure it, because now he couldn't find a scapegoat, because, the second division of the Kwantung Army had suddenly lost contact.

Whether the 2nd Division was wiped out by the Mukden Resistance or because of a malfunction in radio contact is unclear to Honjo Shigeru.

And then the Japanese War Department was even more angry when it learned that the main force of the Second Division had lost contact, and viciously threw down a sentence: Bagyeru, the face of the Imperial Japanese Military Department has made your Kwantung Army lose face, how can you explain to the emperor!

The War Department is really angry this time, a whole division.

At this moment, Honjo was worried, what was going on with the Second Division, he really couldn't understand, the Second Division did not have the latest battle report, nor did it send back a broken telegram.

If the 2nd Division is wiped out by the resistance, he will be guilty of adding to his crimes.

However, at present, there are various indications that the second division of the Kwantung Army seems to be in bad shape, and it is impossible for every radio station in the entire division to be damaged. Honjo had a hunch that there was no hope for the main force of the 2nd Division.

After all, the military operation on the night of 918, the Kwantung Army was not authorized.

If this matter succeeds, it is better to say that now the responsibility for the demise of a division of the Kwantung Army lies entirely with itself, that is to say, in the entire northeast region, there is now a wing of troops in addition to the third brigade, and the Kwantung Army has become an empty shelf, with headquarters but no army.

If someone jumps out and takes the initiative to find fault, anyone can fall into the well.

When the September 18 Incident was launched, I can argue that it was the spontaneous action of a junior officer, but the question is whether it is useful?

Although this is the case, the problem is that the subsequent military operations are completely driven by oneself, and it cannot be shirked even if you want to.

Now that such a big scandal has occurred, thinking of the fate of the Second Division of the Kwantung Army, the commander of the Kwantung Army, Honjo Shige's head is sweating.

This guy locked himself in the room and stuffed himself, and the more he thought about it, the more panicked he became, his back was cold, and his body was sweating.

Now there seems to be no reason to be relieved, no one can help him, and Honjo is desperate......

The poor commander of the Kwantung Army, Shigeru Honjo, got into trouble for a media report, which disgraced the Imperial Japanese Army, and the panicked commander of the Kwantung Army, Shigeru Honjo, chose to be loyal to him.
