On this day, 79 years ago, July 29, 1946 (July 2, 1946 in the lunar calendar), the "Anping Incident" broke out in North China. On July 29, 1946, the "Anping Incident" broke out in North China. The 1st Marine Division patrol team stationed in Tianjin and a part of the Kuomintang army secretly gathered on the eastern Hebei People's Liberation Army garrison near Anping Town, southwest of Xianghe (about 70 kilometers northeast of Tianjin), and suddenly launched an attack on the People's Liberation Army stationed here. The People's Liberation Army was forced to fight back in self-defense. During the battle, the People's Liberation Army discovered that more than 60 U.S. troops cooperated with the Kuomintang army's attack and immediately reported it to relevant departments. Both sides suffered casualties in the fighting. In the afternoon, a unit of the 1st U.S. Marine Division rushed from Tianjin to provide reinforcements. In order to prevent the situation from expanding, the PLA garrison was immediately ordered to withdraw from the battle. On August 3, the Liberation Daily published an editorial stating that the 1st U.S. Marine Division in Tianjin should apologize and compensate, punish the officers directly responsible, publicly promise not to harass any Jiefang District, and reiterated that all U.S. Navy, Navy and Air Force stationed in China must immediately withdraw from China and must not interfere in China's internal affairs. Comments: The truth of this incident has yet to be discovered by historians, but this was the first direct battle between the Communist Party of China and the US military, and it should be recognized.
