On the evening 10:20 of September 18, 1931, the Japanese Kanto Army blew up the Liutiaohu Railway of the South Manchuria Railway in Shenyang, northen China, yet they fabricated that Chinese army did it. Under this excuse, they cannoned Beidaying Battalion of the Northeast Army of Kuomintang, and attacked Shenyang, launched the "Huanggutun Incident" which shocked China and the whole world.

This is the historical "9.18 Incident", which resulted in Japan's massive invasion in Northeastern China and later the whole country in 1937.
