March combines naturally with several prepositions depending on direction, destination, movement, or continuation.
Use march into or march in for entering a place, march to for a destination, march through for movement across an area, and march on for continuing movement or advancing toward something.
These forms are not interchangeable. Choose the construction by meaning, not by which preposition appears most often.
Into emphasises movement from outside to inside.
In can describe movement occurring within a place or entry in a less emphatic way.
To introduces the destination of the march.
Through shows movement across or within an area from one side to another.
On can mean continuing forward or advancing toward a target.
The same subject can take different constructions because each sentence answers a different question.
Some combinations appear in real text but do not mean what learners often assume.
