Japan invaded northeastern China in September 1931 and launched a full-scale invasion on July 7, 1937. The Battle of Pingxingguan took place in North China's Shanxi province in September 1937. The 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army, who were familiar with the mountainous area, cut off the enemy's logistics line and killed more than 1,000 Japanese troops in an ambush. It was the first victory and one of the key victories against Japanese aggressors.
From August 20 to December 15, 1940, the Eighth Route Army and the Japanese troops fought in the largest and longest battle in North China known as the Hundred Regiments Offensive.
