After the Manchurian Incident, the Japanese Army's Kwantung Army took in the corpses of Japanese soldiers killed in a fierce battle near Daxing on November 5, 1931. The Kwantung Army surrounded the corpses with Hinomaru flags and conducted autopsies.

  Shortly after the Manchurian Incident, the Japanese Kwantung Army interned the corpses of Japanese soldiers killed in action in a fierce battle near Daxing on November 5, 1931. The Kwantung Army surrounded the corpses under the national flag of the Japanese flag and conducted autopsies on them. On November 4, 1931, the Kwantung Army clashed with the Chinese Army at Daxing. The Chinese forces met fierce resistance, and by November 5, Kwantung County was on the verge of total annihilation. The commander of the 16th Infantry Regiment of the Japanese Army was stopped by his men from committing seppuku. The crisis was averted on November 5 when reinforcements from the Japanese Army were dispatched.

 The Manchurian Incident, triggered by the Liujiaoho Incident on September 18, 1931, which blew up the Manchurian Railway, led to the outbreak of the Manchurian Incident until the Tanggu ceasefire agreement on May 31, 1933. This was followed by the outbreak of the Ludouqiao Bridge Incident on July 7, 1937, the starting point of the Sino-Japanese War, which led to the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War in full swing. When the Manchurian Incident broke out, the Chinese army's Heilongjiang Provincial Army destroyed the railroad bridge over the New River, disrupting the railroad from Chichihar to Siping Street via Lunan and disrupting transportation. The Japanese Kwantung Army was dispatched to the vicinity of Daxing in the name of repairing the Manchurian Railway. Qiqihar was located approximately 270 km northwest of Harbin, the capital of Heilongjiang Province, China.

 On November 2, Chinese troops had established a position around Daxing Station; on November 4, the Kwantung Army engaged the Chinese troops from their position on the riverbank plateau south of Daxing Station; on November 5, the Kwantung Army ran out of ammunition and bullets, and the battle line was at a standoff with casualties mounting. The Kwantung Army was attacked by Chinese troops from the flanks and abdomen, and the front line was shaken and retreated from the front. 3:00 p.m. on November 5, the Kwantung Army was ordered to dispatch reinforcements. Even at night, the attack by the Chinese forces did not cease, and the battlefield became a disastrous scene with many casualties. 6 November, from reinforcements by the Kwantung Army, the Chinese forces began to retreat, running north one after another. The Kwantung Army pursued them and took control of the Daxingbei area.
