As Shimizu had predicted, the southbound detachment was blocked by Chinese mechanized forces south of the Twin Cities, and the two sides fought fiercely on the outskirts of the Twin Cities. Since both sides were well aware of their respective tasks and the heavy responsibilities on their shoulders, both Okada and Wan Guoquan strictly ordered the troops not to take a step back, and they both had a desperate heart.

In the battle on the outskirts, Okada's division was hit hard by the armored forces of the Wanguo Division, and the troops suffered heavy casualties, with more than 16,000 casualties in the two-day battle. However, after the attack was hopeless, Okada switched to a defensive position, and the whole army retreated into the Twin Castles.

As the southern gate of Harbin and the most important transportation station of the Harbin-Changchun railway, the city fortifications of Shuangcheng are still very complete, and the materials hoarded in Shuangcheng are also extremely rich, so Okada's capital department will not be defeated due to a shortage of materials in a short period of time.

The vast majority of the troops led by Wan Guoquan are armored troops, and the real infantry is only about one division, while the Japanese army defending the city has more than 70,000 people in four infantry divisions, and in addition to casualties, there are still more than 50,000 people who can fight.

However, although Lieutenant General Okada temporarily blocked the attack of the Wan Guoquan Division, the plan of the North Manchurian Kwantung Army to break through to the south was in vain.

Qing Shui rules this person is a bachelor, and he did not reprimand too much for the failure of the mission of the Okada Capital Department, but ordered the Okada Capital Department to guard the twin cities. He himself was even more powerful, and he ordered all the Japanese puppet troops in the North Manchurian region to immediately abandon all their positions, and the whole army retreated back to Harbin, where he wanted to fight a major offensive and defensive battle with the Chinese army.

The battle had been eroded to this point, and Shimizu knew that there were only two ways in front of the Japanese army, the first was to surrender and save their lives, and the second was to resist to the end. The problem is that for the time being, the temper of the devil general in Echina is not right, even if he surrenders, he may not have a way to live.

Although more than 180,000 troops have now returned to Harbin, and with the former defenders, the number of defenders in Harbin now exceeds 200,000. An army of 200,000 defended a city, and it was the first time that Qing Shui had fought for so many years. However, the defense of the troops is nothing, but once it is surrounded by the combined forces of China and the Soviet Union, there will be no chance to break out. And looking at the current situation, even if he resists stubbornly to the end, the Kwantung Army Command will not give him even a little reinforcement.

Even though he knew that there was no hope, Shimizu still planned to fight because he didn't want to lose to anyone. Even if he wants to die, he has to die like a soldier, and only when he dies on the battlefield can Qing Shui feel that he has not insulted his military uniform and the surname Qing Shui.

Harbin. Japanese command.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Your Excellency Yamada has ordered the Manchurian government and the Kwantung Army Headquarters to go south, we are now alone, the Chinese and Soviets have surrounded us, and our only chance now is to hold on and wait for reinforcements. Therefore, I hope that all division commanders and brigade commanders can stick to every inch of their positions, even if they want to die, they will die like soldiers, you go to the expedition not only with personal ideals, the vast majority of people carry the honor of the family, ordinary soldiers have the right to surrender, but you don't, do you understand? Qing Shui said loudly.

"Hay!"

"Yo Xi, I don't want to deceive you, there is no hope for our army, unless the empire can defeat China and the Soviet Union within a month, all that awaits us is death. However, it is foolish not to take chances and think that surrender will save your life. You must understand that the enemy you are facing is not an ordinary Zhina, our enemy is the Zhina army led by Han Yunhua's devil, what they did in Baicheng I think you have all heard of it, although there is no evidence that Han Yunhua ordered the troops to slaughter the imperial soldiers who laid down their arms, but less than one-tenth of the more than 80,000 troops were left after the war, which is obviously abnormal. Therefore, you don't think that surrendering can save your life, this trick will work for the government of China or the Eighth Route Army of China, but it will not work for the army led by Han Yunhua. Shimizu continued. …,

What Qing Shui said is still very deterrent, and there were indeed many people who had this kind of thinking before, but now no one dares to think like this, because the Inner Mongolia Military Region has become an extremely hostile force in the Japanese government's vigorous propaganda. Under the deliberate propaganda of the Japanese government and the military department, unless they had to, the Japanese soldiers would definitely fight to the death when they encountered Han Yunhua's department, and in their minds, even if they surrendered, there was not much hope of survival.

Han Yunhua didn't care what Qing Shui thought about the rules, what he was doing now was to order the troops to advance quickly, solve the remnants of the Japanese puppet army in North Manchuria and Central Manchurian as soon as possible, and then encircle the Japanese army in South Manchuria.

The progress of the troops was very fast, and by 15 November, the Inner Mongolia Military Region had completed the encirclement of Changchun. The First Division led by Lieutenant General Hattori Shotaro of the Japanese Army and a large number of troops directly under the Kwantung Army were besieged in the city of Changchun, and outside of Changchun, all the towns, counties and townships in the entire Central Manchurian region were recovered by the Inner Mongolia Military Region.

In addition, in the North Manchurian region, the Chinese and Soviet armies also made rapid progress, Qiqihar and Suihua were captured, the door to Harbin was opened, and more than 300,000 Soviet Red Army and nearly 200,000 Chinese troops rushed to Harbin from north to south. In the area south of Harbin, the Wan Guoquan Department fiercely attacked the twin cities of Harbin's southern gateway, and the situation in the entire northeast battlefield was very good.

For the Kwantung Army, the general trend was already gone at this time. General Yamada Otosan, who had withdrawn to Shenyang, immediately ordered the Japanese troops in South Manchu to immediately return to Shenyang, and at the same time ordered the troops to abandon all unimportant towns and strongholds, and the large forces to focus on the defense of Jinzhou and Fuxin.

Although the troops have been withdrawn to Shenyang, General Yamada Otosan still does not have the slightest sense of security, because the war in the South Manchurian region is not going well, and the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Chinese people have gradually encroached on a large area of territory in the Liaoshen region, and the forward troops have already reached the Jinzhou and Fuxin lines, and are now confronting the Third Army of the Kwantung Army and the 200,000 troops on the Jinfu line. The fighting in the north of South Manchuria was still fierce, and the people of China besieged the Troop Mountain with heavy troops, and fought with the elite of the 100,000 Kwantung Army around the Troop Mountain. The most important thing is that since the strength of the Kwantung Army's aviation unit has dropped significantly, the China Air Force has to shoot hundreds or thousands of sorties every day to bomb South Manchuria. On the very day he arrived in Shenyang, the most important city in Manchuria was also subjected to 11 air raids.

It's better to plan ahead than to panic, and although Yamada knows that everything he does is likely to be fouled and misunderstood by others, he doesn't have time to explain it to the short-sighted.

The fighting in the northeast is still going on, but there are now two groups of people in fear, one of whom are the senior officials of the puppet Manchurian regime that the Japanese have set up, including Pu Yi himself. These people know what they are doing when they hold this position, and they know even more that once they take up this official position, they will be ttreason against the country and become the shameful national scum of the Chinese nation. Originally, this shameful identity seemed to them to be an honor, but when the Chinese army came over, they were shocked to find that there was no place for them to stand in China.

In order to achieve the goal of aggression to make Manchuria eventually become the land of the Japanese, the Japanese imperialists launched a "national policy immigration" activity in the name of developing the puppet Manchuria, planning to emigrate 1 million households and 5 million Japanese from Japan to the puppet Manchurians within 20 years. This policy was frantically supported by the whole of Japan, which in the eyes of the Japanese was the best way to permanently occupy Northeast China. In April 1936, the Japanese Kwantung Army held an immigration conference in Changchun to formulate the "Manchurian Agricultural Migration Plan for One Million Households". By November 1942, there were more than 330,000 Japanese immigrants living in various parts of the puppet Manchurian region. …,

Japan's policy immigration to Northeast China is not a good thing, and the Japanese high-level and ordinary people have a clear view of Japan's own situation, knowing that with Japan's small land area, it is difficult to ensure that Japan will always be strong and not surpassed by China, so they came up with the desperate plan of immigration, wanting to occupy Northeast China permanently.

Many people do not understand why the Japanese immigrants from the Northeast can permanently occupy the Northeast, but in fact, the immigration plan formulated by the Japanese is very sinister, they intend to change the ethnic composition of Northeast China, resulting in the demographic advantage of the Japanese in the Northeast. In the end, the Japanese became the main ethnic group in Northeast China, and gradually transformed the Chinese in Northeast China into such ethnic groups or second-class citizens, so as to achieve the sinister purpose of the Japanese government.

The arrival of 330,000 Japanese immigrants is a sign that the Japanese government has indeed made great achievements in this regard, and according to the information that has been made public, the demographic structure of Northeast China has been very successful. Before the counteroffensive of the Inner Mongolia Military Region in the northeast, the Japanese in the northeast were superior people, owned land and owned wealth, the Chinese were second-class people, and the Koreans were third-class people, and could only work from affairs agriculture, handicrafts, etc.

The Japanese immigration organization was called the "pioneer group", and the arrival of the pioneer group was a disaster for the people of Tohoku. With the support of the Kwantung Army, the pioneer regiments forcibly occupied or forcibly bought Chinese land at extremely low prices, and then leased it to Chinese peasants for cultivation, leaving 5 million Chinese peasants without their land, displaced or suffering from hunger and cold in more than 12,000 "group tribes" formed by Japan, during which countless people died of freezing and starvation.

For these Japanese immigrants, in peacetime, with the support of the Kwantung Army, they oppressed the Chinese, grabbed their land, exploited their surplus value, and flaunted their might everywhere. But after the counterattack of the Chinese army in the northeast, the Kwantung Army was greatly defeated. Those who have a relationship have already fled, and if they have no money, they can only guard the hoarding point and wait for the disposal of the Chinese army, and they will be in panic all day long.

In fact, Han Yunhua couldn't make up his mind about dealing with these Japanese immigrants in this way, Japanese immigrants and the Japanese army are two different concepts, although they are equally hateful, but they cannot be treated equally, because immigrants are civilians rather than soldiers, and the Japanese army is soldiers rather than civilians, and the two are essentially different.

Han Yunhua sent a report to his superiors on the situation in the northeast region and the problems encountered, hoping that the chairman and others would give guidance. However, the central government did not know about the situation on the Northeast Front, so the Central Committee gave Han Yunhua full authority to deal with matters related to Japanese immigrants in Northeast China.

Han Yunhua knew that Japanese immigrants in Northeast China were still a historical problem until the founding of the People's Republic of China, and he had no hatred for ordinary people Han Yunhua, just like he adopted Xiao Sihan. Although Xiao Sihan's parents and grandparents are Japanese, and there may even be Japanese soldiers, Han Yunhua tolerates Xiao Sihan's little baby, because in Han Yunhua's opinion, the military and the civilian are two different groups, and not all Japanese are bad people and deserve to die.

However, Han Yunhua did not dare to treat the Japanese immigrants of these pioneer groups as ordinary people, because the nature of the pioneer group was very different from that of ordinary people. According to incomplete statistics, during the period of its invasion and occupation of northeast China, Japan sent more than 860 pioneering groups with more than 330,000 people, who forcibly occupied or forcibly bought Chinese land at extremely low prices, and then leased it to Chinese peasants to cultivate and enjoy the profits themselves. As a result, 5 million Chinese peasants have lost their land, and countless have died of starvation. Moreover, the pioneer regiment has always been a militarized formation, always armed with weapons, and is an auxiliary force for the Japanese army to control the northeast and suppress popular resistance. It can be seen that although the Japanese pioneer regiment was not a murderous army, it was also a paramilitary organization that forcibly occupied Chinese land and a rentier invader who plundered China's resources. Although some of them may not have come to China with their own intentions, the fact that they came to China to participate in plundering and oppression does not change their nature as aggressors. Japan's invasion of China has caused huge casualties, property losses, and mental trauma to the Chinese nation, and we should never forget the atrocities of the aggressors. Whether it is the Japanese army, which is full of blood debts, or the pioneer group that oppresses the Chinese people, we are naked and unquestionable aggressors. In the process of colonization, they not only plundered a large amount of land and property of the Chinese, but also became the rulers and superior people of the so-called Manchukuo, highly participated in Japan's aggression against China, and oppressed the Chinese people. Among them, some people have also participated in the encirclement and suppression of the Confrontation Federation, how dare Han Yunhua treat them as ordinary people in such a group. …,

According to the information transmitted by the intelligence department, the Japanese immigration organizations in various localities are extremely manic, and each pioneer regiment has its own armed forces, ranging from a few dozen to hundreds of people, and as many as a few thousand, and the vast majority of these people are armed groups composed of soldiers in the townships, and they have very strong strength, and their combined strength cannot be underestimated, and they must be resolved as soon as possible.

Han Yunhua realized that he must not be indecisive in this matter, although Han Yunhua knew that after the defeat of Japan, the people of the pioneer group, especially those old and weak women and children, were in a very miserable situation, and a large number of people died. However, just like the Japanese soldiers who died on the battlefield in China, they were all the sins of Japanese militarism, and the accounts cannot be blamed on the Chinese, and there is no need for the Chinese to be responsible for their life and death.

So Han Yunhua decisively ordered the whole army to immediately issue an ultimatum to the remnants of the Japanese puppet army in Central Manchuria, and ordered all the Japanese puppet troops in Central Manchuria, North Manchuria, to immediately lay down their arms and surrender to the Chinese troops in their respective areas, and the Inner Mongolia Military Region and the entire Communist Party of China to ensure the safety of their lives. If they have a fluke mentality and refuse to surrender and stubbornly resist, the Inner Mongolia Military Region will resolutely annihilate them. At the same time, the pioneer regiments in various places were ordered to immediately surrender their weapons, and the people of the regiments immediately marched to the cities in their respective regions to accept the supervision of the Chinese military and civilians, and after the war, the Chinese promised to return them to Japan, but during this period they were to be held accountable for their actions, and young men and women were to undergo forced labor before the end of the war, and each of them had a preliminary period of five years, and those who performed well could reduce the time of forced labor.

Han Yunhua sentenced these people to 5 years in prison in disguise, but Han Yunhua also issued strict orders to the local troops and government officials to which he belonged, strictly prohibiting the arbitrary persecution and massacre of Japanese immigrants, let alone allowing them to die of starvation.

After solving the problem of emigration, Han Yunhua ordered the troops to intensify their offensive and be sure to pacify the Central and Northern Manchurian regions within half a month. Then the army moved south to complete the final battle against the Kwantung Army.

On November 18, 1942, Changchun, which had held for 9 days, was broken by the Chinese army, and Lieutenant General Hattori Shotaro of the Japanese Army led his troops to break through, and finally all of them were annihilated in Wangjiatun, south of Changchun, and the first division of the Japanese Army was completely annihilated. At this point, the entire Central and North Manchurian region has basically been liberated, except for Harbin, which is still holding on.

However, Han Yunhua is also a little entangled with the Japanese army in Harbin, Harbin itself is an important city in the era of Japanese puppet rule, and a large number of ammunition materials and looted food and other resources have been hoarded in the city. Moreover, there is a huge arsenal in the city of Harbin, which can produce weapons and ammunition in a steady stream, and the soldiers are also extremely sufficient, and the casualties of the attacking troops will certainly not be small, but if they do not storm the Japanese puppet army in the city, they will obviously not surrender.

But it was not a way to let five or six hundred thousand troops be consumed in Harbin like this, so Han Yunhua ordered the Soviet Red Army to continue to besiege Harbin, and strike at the satellite cities around Harbin, forcing all the Japanese puppet troops into Harbin, especially the Okada capital headquarters that was cowering in Shuangcheng. In addition, the armored forces immediately went south to join up with Wan Guoquan's armored forces, and immediately after the round, the armored forces went south to prepare to participate in the battle against the Japanese puppet army in the Liaoshen area
