November 25, 1941. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoFar East, Komsomolsk on the Amur River.

The Japanese army marched into this new type of city in the morning. The Japanese army, with a strength of 8,000, came from Boli, that is, Khabarovsk, and after a few days, walked more than 300 kilometers east to Komsomolsk.

There were more than one Komsomolsk in the Soviet Union, so it got its name because it was located on the banks of the Amur River.

Yesterday, Japanese troops were stationed in the town of Amursk. They killed thousands of people in the town, gathered their troops, and this morning braved the bitter cold and marched along the Amur River into Komsomolsk.

The Japanese soldiers who reconnoitred had already reconnoitred this place clearly. There were more than a thousand Soviet troops in the city, hundreds of thousands of inhabitants. At the moment, the Soviets were panicked and at a loss for what to do. The city is the last big town in the Far East.

In 1932, in order to build the Far East, the Soviet Union expelled many Koreans, Han Chinese, and immigrated Soviets. The city was built according to the century-old standard of an industrial city, and originally had a population of less than 100,000, but the Japanese army invaded, and many people ran here, and the population increased a lot.

It was Yamashita Fumimi who led the Japanese army. Yamashita was in the command in Amursk, looked at the intelligence and said: "Advance, storm the city in three hours, and finish the city before dark." ”

Less than ten minutes after Yamashita Fumi's order was given, the Japanese army began to attack. Mountain artillery bombarded the fortifications in the west of the city, black dirt and red blood splashed everywhere, after more than ten minutes of shelling, the Japanese tanks began to charge, the infantry followed behind the tanks, and several Japanese tanks were blown over.

Other tanks found several pillboxes that had slipped through the net. The pillbox was very inconspicuous and had anti-tank guns inside. The tanks fired at the bunkers together, and the bunkers were smashed after firing their cannons and eliminating two Japanese tanks.

At twelve o'clock in the afternoon, the Japanese flag was raised in the tallest department store in the center of the city, and a mere 1,000 Soviet troops had been defeated and killed.

This is an industrial city, there are many factories, and near the factories are workers' dormitories, neatly bungalows. The Japanese army entered every home and drove the Soviets out. Less than two hours later, hundreds of thousands of Soviets were gathered on the streets of the city.

The Japanese soldiers were armed with guns, and many Japanese soldiers took rings from the Soviets' fingers, took the bracelets off their wrists, and pulled the necklaces off their necks. The Soviets did not dare to resist and went out of the city on the orders of the Japanese army.

The Soviets were driven and slowly walked to the Amur River, where more than 100,000 Soviets stood on the ice two or three kilometers wide.

Suddenly, there was a sudden explosion on the ice, and hundreds of explosion points exploded around the Soviets. Then, explosions began in the crowd of Soviets, and the Japanese were firing their artillery.

The explosion shattered the ice, the river rushed up, and the Soviets were terrified and cried.

The Soviet Union called the Heilongjiang River the Amur River, and it was downstream because of the role of the Sanjiang Plain and the forks of the lakes, even in winter, there was a lot of water. Now, not long after the closure of the river, the ice is less than half a meter thick, and the center of the river is only twenty or thirty centimeters, which can easily be blown up. The Soviets all fell into the icy water, crying and screaming.

Some people struggled and crawled to the ice, some of them couldn't swim a few times, some barely swam to the ice, and even a few people crawled a few steps on the ice and died.

Soon, the crying was gone. In the bitter cold, the Soviets quickly froze to death.

The Japanese soldiers saw it and cheered in unison. Suddenly, a Japanese soldier saw something and ran towards the ice.

A cold wind blew, and the people in the huge ice cave were frozen together. A Soviet woman holds a child in her hand. Everyone was dead, but only the child was still alive, crying loudly.

A Japanese soldier raised a gun and aimed it at the Soviet woman's hand, and with one shot, the hand was broken, and the child fell to the thin ice. Soon, the child stopped crying and must have died.

The Japanese army cheered again.

Yamashita Fengwen's headquarters came, and more than a dozen cars drove slowly into Komsomolsk on the snow-covered road.

On the way, he had already seen the scene on the ice.

After entering the headquarters prepared for him by his subordinates in the city government, Yamashita felt a sense of accomplishment, and since he led his troops to conquer Vladivostok, he immediately flew to Boli and commanded the troops here to clear the Soviets. Over the course of a few days, more than 400,000 people had been killed.

The murder method invented by his subordinates was very effective, taking off the clothes of the Soviets and letting them run in the field, and they froze to death while running. Some burned down the Soviets' houses and left the Soviets frozen to death in the open field of the concentration camp.

Yamashita had a big picture, his troops suffered huge losses, and most of the remnants were concentrated in Vladivostok. The reason why he hurried here was to quickly get rid of all the Soviets in the Far East, because his overall view told him that either he or the Kwantung Army troops would be transferred to participate in the war in the Pacific.

Today, he cleared the Soviet population of the last large city of the Soviet Union in the Far East, and only the Soviets on the island of Huatai remained. According to reconnaissance aircraft reports, the Pacific Fleet of the USSR was there. The problem of the Far East can only be solved if the Soviet army and the Soviet population are cleared of the island.

At the moment, he is not worried about the Pacific Fleet of the USSR, because they have no ammunition supply and are already toothless tigers. He was ready to send infantry along the Amur River, to the sea, across the frozen straits, to the island of Huatai, to occupy the island. In this way, the problems of the Far East were all solved.

While he and his staff were making plans, a telegram came: fly back to Shinkyo at once, and then back to Tokyo, to accept a new appointment.

Yamashita sensed that an opportunity had come.

Yamashita was a member of the Showa warlord "Baden-Baden Group". Although he was not the initiator at the very beginning, he was the first core member of the development of the three core characters. There were eleven members of the Baden-Baden group, all of whom were military attachés stationed in various countries, and Yamashita Fumimi was the military attache in Bern, and although his nepotism was complicated, he was also regarded by the emperor as one of the members of the team.

Although Yamashita did not directly participate in the 226 Incident on February 26, 1936 (Showa 11), he was indeed a loyal follower of the Imperial Sect of Sadao Araki, Shinzaburo Mazaki and others, and after the incident, Araki and others were dismissed from their military positions.

Yamashita was also about to be discharged from the army, but he was retained and retained as the commander of a brigade living in North Korea. Nominally, it was retained by Minister of War Yoshiyuki Kawashima, but it is believed that it was actually retained by the emperor. After the 77 Incident, he was transferred to the commander of the Chinese Mixed Brigade stationed in Tun, directly under the command of the North China Front Army. Responsible for garrisoning the Pingjin area. The name is actually a promotion.

Boldly guessing the essence of the matter, the emperor said: Yamashita Fengfumi, you are a military star trained by me, and you were trained according to my team, how can you stand on the wrong side! Well, even so, there is nothing really wrong with you, and I still give you a chance. You can do it for yourself in the future.

The emperor gave him a chance, so he worked hard for the emperor. His attitude was also recognized by the emperor again, and he was allowed to endure such a private matter as collecting gold wealth. That's an afterword.

In August 1937, he was appointed commander of the Chinese Mixed Brigade in Tun. The following year, he was promoted to chief of staff of the North China Front. At the time of the North China Front, the Japanese army was not in a very good situation, like a giant stuck in a quagmire. Yamashita believes that the rectification of public order is not fundamental, and because he has a very international outlook, he believes that "the elimination of British influence is the foundation of the China policy." He actively advocated the implementation of Sino-Japanese cooperation, and was extremely dissatisfied with the existence of British and French forces in China. On June 14, 1939, Yamashita ordered the blockade of the British and French concessions in Tianjin, despite dissuasion from the Ministry of War. This incident did not bring him any benefit, but offended the Ministry of the Army.

After the Nomenkan incident, he was transferred to the commander of the 4th Division of the Kwantung Army, which was essentially a demotion. In July 1941, Yamashita went to Tokyo and proposed a huge plan that would affect the relationship between the Japanese Navy and the Army.

What is the plan? He advocated the independence of the Air Force, the mechanization of the Army, and the establishment of a Ministry of National Defense and a Minister of National Defense to oversee the military, administration, and military orders of the three services. To be honest, his plan is really for the good of Japan. If Japan really adopts its plan, Japan's real strength will increase. This plan can correct the antagonism between the army and the navy, clarify the responsibilities of each armed force, and get rid of the malpractice of the army and navy having a commanding structure that coexists.

This is an extremely important reform program. However, his plan was not good for the current establishment and offended Hideki Tojo.

As a result, he was again demoted by the land minister Tojo and served as the commander of the Manchurian Defense Army.

Now, the opportunity has come, and he foresees that he is going to fight in the South Seas.

Yamashita signed a final order, ordering the Japanese troops in Komsomolskam to advance to Katai Island, demanding that all problems on Katai Island be resolved by the end of January.

The next day, the Japanese army repaired the airfield, and Yamashita took a plane back to Xinjing.

Since the fall of Vladivostok, the Soviet Union has completely lost the Far East. Although the Japanese were also actively transporting military forces to the west, they moved much slower and began to disperse some military forces to guard against the Northeast Coalition Army, maintain the security of the railway, and especially guard against the Eighth Route Army in Outer Mongolia going north.

Under the propaganda offensive in Yan'an, the Soviet Union gradually accepted this view, and the Northeast Coalition Army's operations behind enemy lines had played a role in containment. It is rare for such a weak army to play such a powerful role.

The situation in the Soviet Union took a sharp turn for the worse, the situation on the Eastern Front stabilized, and the harsh situation after the Japanese raid gradually ended.
