Japanese Armistice Ends Five Month North China Campaign
Japanese military leaders, after a five month offensive in North China, accept a brief armistice at Tangku. Most of about 50,000 invaders are released for possible use against bandits in Manchuria and a push toward Kalgan in Chahar. The truce evacuates a North China area the size of Connecticut south of the Great Wall. political terms remain unsettled and no buffer state is agreed. Foreign observers note the peace appears designed to preserve face for China while easing Japanese aims.
