Features: "The Complete Record of the 'September 18th Incident'" is a series of special editions published by Japan's Asahi Shimbun, documenting the entire process of the Japanese Kwantung Army's invasion of Northeast China from September 18, 1931, to January 14, 1932. The book begins with the Japanese army's attack on the North Camp in Shenyang and the occupation of Shenyang City, and ends with the seizure of Jilin, Qiqihar, and Jinzhou, reflecting military mobilization, troop numbers, weapon equipment, and combat situations. Whether from the perspective of Japan's invasion of China during the September 18th Incident or from the perspective of the history research of the incident, this is a complete period of time. During this period, the Kwantung Army took advantage of China's "non-resistance" policy to achieve the goal of rapidly expanding its occupation. The publication of "The Complete Record of the 'September 18th Incident'" fills the gap in historical materials and research for this period, and holds typical significance for exposing the atrocities of Japan's invasion of China and for the study of this history. On the occasion of the 60th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese War of Resistance against Japan, it holds special and important significance.
