Although the Seventh Brigade led by Feng Tian has achieved good results, this cannot change the situation in the entire Northeast, and the war has spread in the Northeast.

When the Kwantung Army launched an offensive in Shenyang, the Japanese troops stationed in Changchun were immediately ordered to mobilize.

In order to increase the strength of the Japanese army, all the Japanese policemen, soldiers in the township, members of the Youth League, and members of the "Manchurian Railway" Big Bee Society were also on standby to participate in the battle to capture Changchun.

According to the Japanese army's battle plan, in order to concentrate its forces to capture Changchun, the 2nd Wing of the Japanese Cavalry stationed in Gongzhuling marched to Changchun in a hurry, and coordinated with the actions of the 4th Wing of the 3rd Brigade of the 2nd Division of the Kwantung Army to adopt a posture of all-out siege of the garrison area of the Northeast Army.

The first target chosen by the Japanese army for attack was first directed at the artillery regiment stationed at Nanling, which posed the greatest threat to them.

At 5 o'clock on September 19, two squadrons of the 2nd Brigade of the 4th Wing of the 3rd Brigade of the 2nd Division of the Japanese Army entered the 1st Battalion station.

At this time, the Northeast Army had just gotten up, and the sentry of the first battalion immediately shot into the sky to warn when they discovered the enemy situation, but unfortunately it was too late, and the soldier was shot and killed by the Japanese soldiers.

"Bang--"

"There is an enemy situation, look at the gate, the Japanese army has rushed in."

Hearing the gunshots outside, the soldiers of the first battalion panicked, and they all got dressed and picked up their guns to prepare for battle.

Unfortunately, at this time, the officers and soldiers of the first battalion were blocked in the barracks and could not get out, so the soldiers used the window to resist, but due to lack of preparation and organization, each room fought separately for a while, and the blocking force was difficult to resist the Japanese attack.

Soldier Li Wei said indignantly while shooting: "the little devil dares to storm the barracks, why don't you have any instructions at all to go to the peak." ”

Another soldier said: "What are you talking so much nonsense for, you see the Japanese army is constantly rushing in, today is going to be in trouble, it is difficult to say whether you can get out alive or not." ”

After the Japanese rushed in, they blocked the barracks and suppressed the fire, and at the same time divided their troops to destroy the 12 guns of the battalion first.

The officers and men of the first battalion fought hard until 6:40 a.m., and finally broke through the wall and retreated because they were outnumbered.

After that, the Japanese army gathered forces and attacked the 2nd and 3rd artillery battalions from the north on the left and right flanks.

Due to the preparations of the 2nd and 3rd battalions, the defenders relied on the battalion fortifications to resolutely resist, and the Japanese attack was frustrated and was forced to stop the attack and wait for reinforcements.

At 10 o'clock in the morning, the 1st Independent Garrison Brigade of the Japanese Army, which had arrived from Gongzhuling for reinforcements, joined up with the 2nd Brigade and, under the cover of artillery bombardment, attacked the 50th Infantry Regiment and the 2nd and 3rd Artillery Battalions on the left and right flanks.

The defenders used the windows of the barracks, ventilation holes, and all available guns to return fire fiercely, causing the Japanese to suffer many casualties.

At 1 p.m., Urahara Nakasa, the captain of the 1st Garrison Group of the Japanese Army, was seriously wounded, and the leader of the 3rd Squadron, Shigeru Hashimoto, and the leader of the machine gun squad, Second Lieutenant Yoshio Ashida, were killed. The defenders of the 2nd and 3rd battalions took the opportunity to launch a counteroffensive and slightly reversed the disadvantage.

The Japanese offensive was thwarted, and as a last resort, all reserves were thrown into battle, and even the communications squad "launched a surprise attack."

After several hours of fierce fighting, the defenders of the Nanling Artillery Regiment suffered heavy casualties and had no backup, and at 15 o'clock, they had to withdraw from the Nanling barracks.

The Japanese occupied Nanling at the cost of 43 dead (2 officers) and 55 wounded (3 officers).

The Japanese troops stationed in Changchun were the headquarters of the 3rd Brigade of the 2nd Division of the Kwantung Army, and the brigade commander, Major General Hasebe, commanded the 4th Wing and the 29th Wing. Among them, the 29th Wing was stationed in Mukden City, and was wiped out by the volunteers led by Long Xiaotian when they attacked Mukden on the night of 918.

Now the commander of the 3rd Brigade, Major General Hasebe Teru, led his only main force, the 4th Wing, to attack the 1st battalion of the 23rd Independent Brigade stationed in Kanjoko.

The 4th Wing was supposed to make a surprise attack, but unfortunately due to the warning of the gunfire, the battalion was ready, and the Japanese could only take a strong attack.

The two sides fought fiercely until 8:30 a.m., and the Japanese attacked in a roundabout way from the north and east.

The battle was quite fierce, and the commander of the 1st Battalion, Fu Guanguan, was seriously wounded and died, and the soldiers were also killed and wounded. Under the continuous bombardment of Japanese artillery, the defenders struggled to resist and were forced to abandon the barracks and retreat at about 11 o'clock.

There were more than 700 provincial defense troops stationed in Changchun City, but they did not play any role in this battle, because Li Guilin, the commander of the 23rd Independent Brigade and the commander of Jichang Town, fled when he heard the news, and the garrison of the 23rd Brigade in the city was disarmed by the Japanese army.

A large number of Japanese policemen, soldiers in the township, members of the Youth Alliance, and members of the "Manchurian Railway" Great Bee Society in Changchun City, which had already been prepared, acted quickly, and the Japanese army fully occupied Changchun on the 19th.

On 20 September, Major General Hasebe, commander of the 3rd Brigade who had settled the defenders of Changchun, left a small number of garrison troops and led the 4th Wing, the Cavalry Wing, and part of the garrison to Jilin.

Jilin City is stationed in the 25th Brigade of the Northeast Army, Zhang Zuozhou, with 2 regiments under his command, 3 infantry battalions, 1 cavalry battalion, 1 artillery battalion, and 1 company of mortar, heavy machine gun, and communications under the jurisdiction of Feng Zhanhai, head of the guard regiment of the deputy commander's office.

Under the pretext of abiding by Chairman Jiang's instructions of non-resistance, Xiqia, chief of staff of the Jilin Frontier Command and member of the provincial government, convened an emergency military and political meeting at the provincial government, and in disregard of the strong opposition of Feng Zhanhai and others, ordered all troops stationed in Jilin City, the provincial capital, and the Jizhou-Changzhou Railway Garrison to withdraw from Jilin City and concentrate in the areas of Tuanshan and Longtan, with only a few troops and policemen remaining in the city.

On the 19th, Feng Zhanhai and others had learned that the Fengtian Volunteers fought bravely and defended Fengtian City.

Encouraged by this, neither Feng Zhanhai nor Zhang Zuozhou would easily let the Japanese plot succeed, nor would they follow the order of non-resistance from the Northeast Frontier Army Command.

After learning that the Japanese army had seized Changchun and moved its army to the east to approach Jilin, Feng Zhanhai and Zhang Zuozhou's two troops immediately set out and built a position west of Gudianzi Town to block the Japanese occupation of Jilin and try to hold Jilin.

The Japanese army marched to Jilin by rail, marching at a rapid pace, and had reached Jilin in the afternoon, where it was blocked by two resistance forces, Feng Zhanhai and Zhang Zuozhou.

Feng Zhanhai and Zhang Zuozhou's battle to defend Jilin began, and the battle quickly became white-hot. The defenders of Jilin did not retreat in the face of the strong attack of the Japanese army, which made the sneak attack plot of Major General Hasebe Teru, the commander of the Third Brigade, fail.

In the first battle at dusk, the Japanese army did not get much advantage, and by the time it was dark, the two sides had already suffered nearly 200 casualties.

And when the two armies of Zhang Zuozhou and Feng Zhanhai had a numerical advantage, their casualties were also very heavy, at least more than 300 casualties.
