After the Japanese army occupied the Northeast, it extended its talons to North China and attempted to instigate "North China autonomy". 1in June, 936, the Japanese emperor approved the new imperial defense policy and the program for the use of military power, and publicly declared his ambition to control the East Asian continent and the western Pacific and eventually dominate the world. On August 7, Japan's Five-Phase Meeting adopted the national policy benchmark, which stipulated the strategic plan of invading China, invading the Soviet Union and waiting for southward advancement. At the same time, according to the invasion plan of 1936, the invasion plan of 1937 is made. Since May 1936, Japan has sent more troops to North China one after another, causing troubles and frequent military exercises. The situation in North China is getting more and more severe. At that time, the China garrison guarding the area was the first 29 army, and the commander Song was also the director of Jicha Management Committee.

On the night of July 7th, 10, the 8th Squadron of the 3rd Brigade of Fengtai Japanese Binjiang Brigade 1 United, led by the mid-team leader Masataka Shimizu, held a military exercise with the imaginary goal of capturing the Lugou Bridge in the north of the bridge. 1 1, the Japanese lied that a soldier left the team and disappeared during the exercise, and asked to search the city. After being sternly rejected by Ji Xingwen, head of the 2 19 regiment of the 37th Division of China Garrison 29 army, the Japanese army immediately surrounded Wanping County. At 2 o'clock in Rosty Yi, Qin Dechun, deputy commander of 29 army and mayor of Beiping, agreed that the Japanese side would send personnel to investigate.

On July 8, the Beiping authorities ordered the defenders to stick to the Lugou Bridge. Song called Chiang Kai-shek and reported the truth of the Lugouqiao Incident.
On the same day, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the National Government made an oral protest to the Japanese ambassador about the Lugouqiao Incident.
On the same day, the Japanese cabinet meeting put forward the so-called policy of "solving the problem on the spot without expanding the problem", which deceived world public opinion, paralyzed the Kuomintang authorities and won time for mobilizing the army.
On the 9th, the Beiping authorities reached an agreement with the Japanese army: (1) both sides immediately stopped shooting; (2) The Japanese army retreated to the left bank of Yongding River and the China army retreated to the right bank; (3) The Lugouqiao Guard is a Hebei Security Team headed by Shi Yousan Department.

From 1 1, when the Japanese shelled the ancient city of Wanping and its vicinity, the residents in the city suffered heavy casualties and Ji Xingwen, the head of the city, was also injured, so the residents in the city were evacuated to safer areas outside the city.
