Chapter 1 Japan-U.S. Mutual Defense
"Da-da." The sound of rapid shooting directly overturned several men in the village. Causing a scream in the village.
He Youjin searched for several pistols from them.
"We don't beat the common people, but we won't be polite to those who are hostile."
"Da Da" Zhu Guoxian's gunfire also rang out, and a Japanese soldier in civilian clothes rolled down from the roof. A rifle fell to the ground.
"Don't run, squat on the ground." He Youjin hid in the corner and shouted.
Most of the villagers obeyed the order.
The village is not large, with about 20 families. It didn't take long for the five of them to sweep around.
However, it was still Ho Yoo-kin, who could speak Japanese, who came forward, and everyone else was on guard.
"I know how many people there are in your village, and if there are redundant people, we will investigate. If you have any relatives in your family, you can give the roster to your village chief. You are a plain area, and our management is weak, but we don't want unnecessary trouble. You can have these guns, but we don't want to see them pointed at us. ”
Twenty or so families were trembling, and this was the second time that Japanese special forces had set up an ambush in the village, preparing to intercept the Chinese. Two times it was a different Chinese soldier, but the result was the same, these Chinese were alert, quick to react, and mysterious in their actions. It's not like an army anymore, it's like a ghost.
So far, they have seen only a few soldiers, and only one person has come forward. But no one can tell how many of these Chinese soldiers are in the shadows. Otherwise, more than a dozen Japanese spies would simply disappear.
"The dead are buried as soon as possible. Bury it deeper, or the plague will occur. It's the war years, so it's just drinking water. Be sure to boil and drink water, especially for small children. Remember, we are the army of the common people and will not harm the common people. ”
In the crowd, a woman carrying a basket appeared with a bloody hole in her head and fell to the ground.
The crowd squatted down again, and the children began to cry. The women covered their mouths in fright.
"Don't cover your child's mouth, they're scared, cry when they should." He Youjin walked over to the dead woman and uncovered the basket. The woman had a small delicate pistol in her hand.
He Youjin laughed mockingly, this woman was killed because she was too calm and made different movements from ordinary people. Shot by Wang Lung in the shadows. But he won't explain it to these people. There are guns. And made a move that wanted to shoot. It's normal to be killed.
Kanto Plain. It is the most affluent place in Japan and is the most densely populated place. A month ago, the People's Revolutionary Army rarely came here, but with the stabilization of the mountains and a small coastal plain. It is inevitable to reduce the living space of Tokyo and the cities on the plains.
The People's Revolutionary Army has occupied the northern mountainous region of Honshu Island, and many of the small plains have been cut off from each other. Japan has a large population, but its territory is small, and there is not much strategic space at all, and it is impossible to clear the countryside. Because they have nowhere to go.
The People's Revolutionary Army was not very numerous. Take a town and get enough food to last a long time. What's more, the troops' ability to survive in the field is super strong, and even if there is no food at all, it will not affect much combat effectiveness. After the Biwako generation was completely controlled, the long-awaited helicopters and armored trucks finally arrived.
Nagoya, two million people, dismissed more than a million people, and took more than 300,000 dignitaries and their vassals to the American army, all of whom went to Kamchatka. In the Nagoya fire, 50,000 or 60,000 people died, and less than 80,000 of the more than 200,000 Japanese troops were killed fighting against the People's Revolutionary Army. The remaining more than 100,000 people were disbanded. Later, there were nearly 200,000 people from the Guard. Starvation, suicide, half of them. In the end, less than 100,000 people surrendered.
The situation in Osaka is similar, except that Osaka was taken by force. The number of SDF dead in the battle reached 100,000, and half of the city was completely destroyed.
With the annihilation of the resistance in both cities. The war in the southern part of Honshu and Shikoku Island subsided.
American merchant ships were constantly sending people from coastal cities to Kamchatka.
There are nearly 70 million people on the main island of Japan, most of them on Honshu Island. After the Japanese occupation of the Far East, mass immigration began. Including North Korean immigrants, the total number is nearly 40 million. It only took two or three years. I have to say it's a miracle. Even such a large number of immigrants in China are only to this extent. It took longer than in Japan. There are now about 30 million people in the four islands of Japan, excluding Hokkaido.
Now Emperor Hirohito also knows that the island cannot be defended, and if he wants to contain China's attack, the only thing he can rely on is the United States, that is, he can obey the arrangements of the United States and at least protect most of the Far East.
So Emperor Hirohito took the initiative to cooperate with the American merchant ships and began another large-scale evacuation.
China, on the other hand, appears to have acquiesced to the withdrawal under pressure from the United States.
But not everyone was willing to follow the United States and the emperor, because of the performance of the People's Revolutionary Army for several months, and the news that the Japanese who went to the mainland brought back that China was far stronger than Japan, even the most powerful country in the world. The People's Revolutionary Army is indeed good to the common people. So the vast majority of the common people stayed.
The Americans and Emperor Hirohito evacuated less than three million people only in Shikoku and southern Honshu.
The problem now is the Kanto Plain and Tokyo. At one time, one-third of Japan's population was concentrated here, and nearly 10 million people have since moved here.
The Americans, on the other hand, began to fall into the trap of forming a quasi-alliance with Japan, so that Japan would retain the position of emperor only a little more than the rights of a state in the United States. The United States demanded the formation of a joint fleet with Japan, believing that only in this way could the Far East and the Chiba Islands be preserved.
The Far East is open to all ports of entry to the United States. The United States and Japan will form a joint command, and the commander will be rotated between Japan and the US military. When Japan is invaded, the United States is obliged to assist Japan in its defense.
The condition was the acceptance of the Sino-Soviet and American peace plan.
Emperor Hirohito convened the Imperial Council, and the General Staff Headquarters believed that Japan could not resist the attacks of China and the Soviet Union at the same time, and that the only way to maintain balance was to rely on the United States as an alliance. Therefore, accepting the US peace plan may be the only way.
In April, Emperor Hirohito was forced to accept the Sino-Soviet and American proposals. The U.S. and the U.S. signed a Japan-U.S. Mutual Defense Treaty.
There was jubilation in the United States, which saw this as a major diplomatic victory and that the United States had become an important player in Asia that could influence Asia.
The Soviet Union issued a statement that the Japan-US Mutual Defense Treaty showed that the United States had joined the ranks of fascism and joined the siege of the Soviets as the darkest moment in the world. The Japan-US Mutual Defense Treaty meant that the United States had an additional continent in Asia, a blatant act of aggression against Soviet territory. The USSR was categorically opposed to this.
In China, Wu Hao and Mao Shishan issued a joint party, government, and military statement, issuing an ultimatum to Japan, ordering Japanese militarism to immediately withdraw from Hokkaido, Sakhalin, and Outer Northeast as stipulated in the Sino-Soviet-American Joint Communique. In view of the fact that the people have been displaced by war for a long time, China will grant national treatment to the people of Northeast China.
April 10th. Cheng Qian's Fifth Army crossed the Heilongjiang River. The Japanese had already received orders to retreat to the outer Khingan Mountains.
Since the Soviet Union had clearly expressed its hostility towards Japan and the United States, Japan and the United States did not intend to give independence to Aldan and Shanyansky.
The Fifth Army smoothly entered the Trans-Khingan Mountains. However, Japan's suggestion that the Outer Khingan Mountains should be used as the boundary was rejected, and the Outer Khingan Mountains were all included in the scope of control, and the boundary was set at the foot of the mountain.
Lin Yurong, who had been promoted to commander of the Fourth Army, led the Fourth Army into Hokkaido and Sakhalin. The North Sea Fleet moved to the port of Hakodate
A division of the Fourth Army entered the islands of Setsu and Kunashir.
The Japanese in Sakhalin and the four northern islands of Hokkaido have withdrawn almost completely.
In the outer northeast, the original Korea, Taiwan, and a considerable number of Japanese were unwilling to go to the extremely cold places in the north, and more than 10 million people stayed. So in fact, the population of Japan, including the natives of the Far East, is now only 30 million.
Therefore, Japan asked for permission to migrate the Japanese residents of the Kanto Plain. Wu Hao agreed to a three-month period, and he could withdraw as much as he could. (To be continued......)
