1On July 7, 937, the Japanese imperialists started with the Marco Polo Bridge Incident and launched an all-out war of aggression against China. On the night of July 7th, a Japanese army unit, in the name of "military exercise" near Lugouqiao, picked a fight with the China garrison, and requested to enter Wanping County (now Lugouqiao Township) for a search on the pretext of missing a soldier.
Japan's unreasonable demands were rejected by China. While the negotiations were still going on, the Japanese army launched an attack on the China garrison in Lugouqiao area and shelled Wanping County. The 29th Army of China Garrison rose to resist. The Lugouqiao Incident (also known as the July 7th Incident) marked the beginning of the national war of resistance.
