中国命运的转折点——九·一八事变浅析

The Turning Point of China's Destiny——Brief Analysis of the Sept.18th Incident

为了永久占领中国东北,日本关东军发动了九·一八事变,由此开始了对中国的侵略战争。九·一八事变是由关东军高级参谋板垣征四郎和石原莞尔具体策划的,这一事件符合日本对外扩张的整体战略,所以得到了日本政府和天皇的默认与支持。由于南京国民政府只完成了形式上的统一,内部纷争不断,以致应对日本侵略时软弱无力。东北军将领张学良在事变之前对日军毫无戒备,事变之后又低估日本的侵略野心而未予有力抵抗。张学良寄希望于国民政府,而国民政府又寄希望于"国联外交",最终使中国失去了东北。但是,关东军发动的九·一八事变最终把日本带上了走向毁灭的战争之路。

In order to occupy Northeast China perpetually, the Japanese army in the region launched the Sept. 18th Incident. Then Japan＇s aggressive war on China started. The Sept. 18th Incident was specifically planned by the senior staff officers of Japan;s Guandong Army Seishirou Itagki and Kanji Ishiwara. This incident conformed to the overall strategy by which Japan expanded outward and so it obtained the support and permission of Japanese government and emperor of Japan. As the Nanjing National Government only completed unification formally and the internal strife never stopped, the fight against Japanese aggression was weak. General Zhang Xueliang was not alert enough to the Japanese army before the incident and after the incident he underestimated the enemy forces and didn＇t make effective resistance. Zhang placed hopes on the National Gvemment and the government on the League of Nations. At last Northeast China was lost. However, Japan set foot on the way of war to destruction.
