/kloc-why did the Japanese attack Shenyang first in September of 0/8?

Shenyang is the capital of Liaoning Province, the largest city in Northeast China and the heavy industry base of China, and is known as the "Ruhr of the East".

At that time, the plan made by the Japanese Defense Ministry was: first, occupy North Korea, use North Korea as a springboard to enter northeast China, then go south, then occupy all of China, then Asia and even the world.

To occupy the northeast, Shenyang is the first choice. Why?

Shenyang has always been a battleground for military strategists. Please look at the following set of data:

7,200 years ago, human beings cultivated, fished and hunted here, prospered and created a new music culture.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Yan was an important town.

After Qin Shihuang unified China in 22 1 BC, the world was divided into 36 counties, and Shenyang belonged to Liaodong county.

During the Western Han Dynasty, Shenyang had a city outline, which was called "the back city".

It was renamed "Shenzhou" in the Tang Dynasty.

In 92 1 year, Liao Taizu immigrated here, built a tucheng, and the production developed accordingly.

In the Yuan Dynasty, Jin Taizu captured China and took "China" as its title.

1296 yuan to rebuild Tucheng and change Shenzhou to "Shenyang Road", which belongs to Liaoyang. Because Shenyang is located in the north of Shenshui (Hunhe River), according to China's traditional orientation theory, that is, "the mountains are overcast in the north and the water is sunny in the north", it was changed to Shenyang. Since then, the name "Shenyang" has officially appeared in historical materials, with a history of 702 years.

1386, the Ming Dynasty renamed "Shenyang Road" as "Shenyang Zhongwei".

1625, Qing Taizu moved the capital from Liaoyang to Shenyang and began to build a palace in Shenyang (now the Forbidden City in Shenyang).

1634, the Qing emperor Taizong renamed Shenyang as "Shengjing".

1644 After the Qing Dynasty moved its capital to Beijing, Shenyang became its capital.

1657, the Qing dynasty established Fengtianfu in Shenyang, also known as Fengtian.

After the Revolution of 1911, Shenyang became the capital ruled by Feng Zhi's warlords.

1923, the Fengtian municipal government was formally established, and the urban organizational system first appeared in Shenyang.

1929, Zhang Xueliang changed "Fengtian City" to "Shenyang City" after "changing the flag in Northeast China".

193 1 year, Japanese imperialism launched the "Nine? 18 incident, after the occupation of Shenyang, "Shenyang City" was changed to "Fengtian City". With the victory of 1945 in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, "Fengtian City" was restored to the name of "Shenyang City".

1953 Shenyang was changed to a municipality directly under the central government.

1954 Shenyang was changed to a municipality directly under the jurisdiction of Liaoning province.

1In mid-964, Liaoning Provincial Committee decided to set up Shenyang Special Zone.

1993, Faku and Kangping counties of Tieling City were placed under the jurisdiction of Shenyang, and Xinmin County was removed from the county to establish the city. Up to now, Shenyang has jurisdiction over 9 urban districts of Heping, Shenhe, Dadong, Huanggu, Tiexi New District, Yuhong, Sujiatun, Dongling and Shenbei New District, and 4 counties (cities) of Xinmin, Liaozhong, Faku and Kangping.

Shenyang is rich in resources, especially combat readiness resources. There are coal, iron and oil here, which are important raw materials for heavy industry and weapons manufacturing. So Japan chose Shenyang first.

Due to the particularity of Shenyang's geographical location, we can enter and take North China directly, and retreat and defend.
