china rivers

longest river in china is "chang jiang" badly named by brits yangtze. it is third longest river in world. next longest inside china border is river "huang he", badly named "yellow" by brits for skin color. the yellow is south  from hebei province that encircles beijing. so on a map  it is by beijing but truly over300 km away. it feeds water into a bay between china and korea

the chang river is by shanghai, and...

shanghai is 31n degrees of sphere, but beijing 39n over 1000km around 660 miles between. so battles of hebei or luogo bridge were far from battle of shanghai.

nipon [japan] controld land near amur river extending south almost to beijing at coordinates 39n.

in year 1932 nipon called that region a country "manchu" ruled by the deposed chinese emperor to govern the land, that extended from amur river, which is the border with soviet [amur river region soviet was north] almost to beijing including lioaning province. there was a battle, almost a year later in year 1933, in province-hebei that wraps around beijing and borders liaoning hence borderd manchu.

then there was quiet for a couple years ergo separate sino-wars.

in 1937 another battle of hebei, 4 yours after first, southwest from manchu border as above beside liaoning province. nipon imperial armird cars attackd lugou bridge outside beijing. nipon also shelld a city in july 1937.

another battle a month later in shanghai already nipon controld a zone of the city since march 1932 cease-fire. second battle of shanghai in 1937.

as above far from hebei but on the river chang as above.
