Li Hai-ching, or Li Hai-Tsing (died 1930s),

On 29 March 1932 his forces defeated regular troops of the Manchukuoan Governor Xi Qia outside the town of Nong′an, only 55 km from the Manchukuoan capital of Xinjing. Nong′an was soon reported on the verge of surrender. Small Japanese detachments sent from Xinjing radioed for help, after suffering heavy casualties in the fighting.

They then waited until a train from Harbin arrived, looted it and dispersed before the arrival of Japanese troops that were rushed to scene.
