On this day, 88 years ago, on September 11, 1937 (August 7, 1937, the Chinese and Japanese armies fought fiercely inside and outside Pingxingguan. China troops resist Japanese attack in trenches On September 11, 1937, the Japanese army entered near Yu County, Hebei Province, with one side heading south to Laiyuan and the other west to Lingqiu, Shanxi Province. The 17th Army and 73rd Division, which belonged to the Second World War Zone, fought fiercely with the Japanese army and gradually withdrew westward to the Pingxingguan line. At dusk on the 22nd, the Japanese Army's 21st Brigade attacked Pingxingguan and was repelled by the 73rd Division. The next day, the Japanese army once again attacked the front line of Pingxingguan and Tuanchengkou. The 73rd Division of the Pingxingguan garrison and the 8th Independent Brigade of the 84th Division engaged in a bloody battle with the Japanese army. On the 23rd, the new Second Division, the 71st Division, and Fu Zuoyi of the 35th Army marched towards the front line. At dawn on the 25th, the 71st Division adjusted its deployment to attack the Japanese troops in the front of Chengkou, and used the new Second Division to attack the Japanese troops in the northeast of Hekou. That morning, a Japanese baggage unit with escorts advanced westward from Lingqiu and entered the ambush circle of the 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army. It was suddenly attacked by the 115th Division. Because the 115th Division eliminated the Japanese baggage troops and cut off the communication line, it created a favorable situation for the China army in the frontal position to encircle and annihilate the Japanese army. The Japanese 21st Brigade was besieged. Ibanaki then ordered the main force of the 42nd Infantry Regiment to reinforce Pingxingguan. On the 26th, the 115th Division voluntarily withdrew and turned into guerrillas behind enemy lines. The Japanese 42nd Wing entered the battle. The Japanese Army's 21st Wing also entered into frontal combat on the 28th. From the 27th to the 29th, the two sides launched a fierce battle, and they were at a stalemate, causing heavy casualties. At this time, Japanese reinforcements arrived one after another, and a part of the Kwantung Army entered the battle in the Pingxingguan area on the 27th. Another unit of the Kwantung Army also attacked the position of the 34th Army of the China Army on the front line of Ruyuekou, but the 34th Army collapsed without any support. On the 28th, Ruyuekou fell. On the 29th, Tiejiaoling fell, and the Pingxingguan China army was attacked from both sides. On the night of September 30, all troops on the front line were ordered to withdraw from the battle. September 11, 1980 Turkish troops seize power in coup WT1179 Photo: The military seized power in Turkey On September 11, in what U.S. officials called an attempt to "save democracy," the Turkish military today launched an apparently bloodless coup that ousted Prime Minister Suleiman Demirel and his government and dissolved Parliament. Turkey is a major ally of the United States in the strategically important Eastern Mediterranean. It became even more important after the overthrow of the Shah of Iran. The new leader, General Haidar Sartuk, is known for his role in maintaining good relations with the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and the United States. Civilian government cannot solve many of the country's economic and political problems. The coup reflects the fact that people can't tolerate it. For three months, parliament has been unable to appoint a new president due to factional fighting between the party. What's more, terrorist activities have killed 2000 people in the past year, and a civil war could break out at any time.
