The Sino-Soviet conflict of 1929 (Chinese: 中东路事件, Russian: Конфликт на Китайско-Восточной железной дороге) was an armed conflict between the Soviet Union and Chinese warlord Zhang Xueliang of the Republic of China over the Chinese Eastern Railway (also known as CER).

The 1929 Sino-Soviet Conflict was a short and bloody war fought over the jointly operated Chinese Eastern Railroad (CER) in China’s Northeast between the Republic of China and the Union of Soviet Socialists Republics. A modern limited war, it proved to be the largest military clash between China and a Western power ever fought on Chinese soil. Over 300,000 soldiers, sailors and aviators served in the war, although only a part participated in the heavy fighting. Young Marshal Chang Hsueh-liang (Zhang Xueliang) arrayed sixteen mixed brigades against the Red Army, the bulk of his army.
