The Japanese Invasion of Manchuria of 1931 | Operation Jinzhou

This episode covers Operation Jinzhou, part of the Japanese invasion of Manchuria 1931-1932.

During the Japanese invasion of Manchuria, members of the Kwantung army led by Ishiwara Kanji performed a false flag operation known as the Mukden incident. After this the Imperial Japanese Army gradually conquered vast spans of Manchuria through violence and political coercion. After the Mukden incident, the Kwantung Army attacked and captured Kirin. After this numerous major cities began collaborating with the Japanese such as Liaoyang, Yingkou, Fushun, Mukden, Siping, Dandong, Changchun, Jilin, Jiaohe and Dunhua.

Those like General Ma Zhanshan led resistance efforts in Heilongjiang province. This however opened the way for the Kwantung Army to pursue further conquest. Next would by Jinzhou, the stronghold of Manchurian Warlord Zhang Xueliang. Zhang Xueliang was advised not to resist, but he still tried to gather his forces at Jinzhou to not lose control over Manchuria. The Chinese tried asking the League of Nations for help, but the Japanese simply brushed it all aside.

In the end Zhang Xueliang was unable to stop the advance of the Japanese against his stronghold of Jinzhou. Zhang Xueliang would take his surviving men and depart Manchuria. The Japanese would further consolidate their gains until the formation of the new puppet state of Manchukuo.
