Chapter 642: Great Northeast Strategy - Commander Chen wants to retaliate

Donggong Tienan's reputation is not necessarily very big, it can be said that he is a very inconspicuous Russian person, but it is this person who planted explosives in Shenyang Huanggutun on June 4, 1928 and killed Zhang Zuolin. This person used to be a security adviser in the Yilan area of Jilin Province, a puppet Manchurian country, and he personally formulated the new immigration plan for Japan after the September 18 Incident.

This immigration plan was formulated by Tonomiya Tetsuo when he was serving as a security adviser to the puppet Manchurians, and Tomiya Tetsuo saw that the Japanese army could not cope with the surging anti-Japanese forces in northeast China, so he had the idea of armed immigration in this area. Focusing on the military aspect, he wrote a lengthy plan for using veterans to form a cantonment army.

In September 1932, 492 Japanese veterans were reassembled for a short 10-day training to visit the Meiji Jingu Shrine before their departure, where they were encouraged to travel to China to establish a "Imperial Village" for the emperor. The armed migrants then sailed down the Songhua River to Jiamusi, where they were attacked by Chinese anti-Japanese forces and did not dare to disembark, and the constant sound of gunfire in the distance proclaimed the attitude of the land towards the intruders.

The Kwantung Army stipulated that armed emigrants could not bring in their families and friends until two years, and that unmarried people could only form families at that time. It treats each veteran as a seed for the future, and lives in small groups, reserving sufficient land resources for future population growth. Two years later, everyone is a family.

The arrival of the Japanese colonizers brought great disasters to the local people, as the Japanese armed immigrants seized the fertile land, and they used atrocities such as burning and beating to drive the Chinese peasants to other places. Their name is the Reclamation Team. The Chinese peasants called them "bandits." Under the leadership of Donggong Tetsunan, armed immigrants forcibly bought Chinese land at the price of 1 yuan for 10 mu of land, and under the pretext of "law and order," they went from house to house rummaging through boxes and cabinets, even smashing walls, opening cellars, and searching for peasants' land certificates.

The Sanjiang Plain between the Heilongjiang, Songhua and Ussuri rivers is fertile and rich in products, and more than 2 million Chinese farmers in 12 counties have lived here for generations. Now that the mountains and rivers have fallen, the homeland is no longer there, and the land where they have settled down will belong to Japanese immigrants in the blink of an eye!

In 1936, the Hirota Cabinet issued a plan for "20 years of immigration to one million households", which was included in the seven major policies of the Japanese government. It is planned to migrate 1 million households to Northeast China, with a total of 5 million people. 1936 year. Japan, with a population of 68 million, plans to relocate 5 million people to China, a gamble by the Japanese government that could change the ethnic distribution in Asia. In November 1937, the speed of the response of the Konoe cabinet set a new administrative record for 50 years. In just two months. Not only the completion of government grants. The actual recruitment process also began at the same time. In this way, nearly 100,000 Japanese teenagers were named Volunteer Corps immigrants. It and village-based immigration constitute the two most important forms of immigration in the Japanese government.

Four months later, on a farm at the Uchihara National High School of Japan. The Uchihara Youth Volunteer Training Center has begun to take shape, and the director is still this Kanji Kato. After three months of training, the 3,000-strong group of young immigrants left the Inner Plains, where they returned to their hometowns for a grand farewell ceremony and then headed for northeastern China.

According to incomplete statistics, there were at least 300,000 Japanese immigrants in the Northeast at this time, and they were mainly composed of veterans and specially trained teenagers.

In order to block the joint attack of the Soviet Army, the Kwantung Army Headquarters ordered all the young Japanese immigrants on the left and right to assemble at the nearby training point, and after a slight reorganization, they entered the battlefield.

In order to isolate the Soviet army, the Japanese army carried out extremely strict tactics of clearing the field in the northeast, and at the same time armed the immigrants, strictly ordered the Chinese villages along the battlefield to move south immediately, and in order to force the Chinese people to move inward, the Japanese army dispatched a large number of regular troops, and checked almost all the villages near the battlefield, and robbed all the people's food and property.

The original intention of the Kwantung Army Command was to concentrate all the grain of the Chinese people and distribute it according to the quota, so that the Chinese people had no food and had to follow the Kwantung Army. If you don't leave, you won't have anything to eat, and you'll starve to death.

However, this order of the Kwantung Army Headquarters soon became a general disaster in most of the northeast, and no one was unfazed in the face of property, and in the process of looting food and property, such things as killing people and setting fires to bows and bows were done by women one after another, and a disaster of spontaneous plundering of the Chinese people began.

In just a few days, one-third of the Chinese villages near the former Sino-Soviet border were destroyed, tens of thousands of Chinese were slaughtered, and many villages were directly slaughtered.

Chen Feng has always been extremely concerned about the actions of the Kwantung Army, so Chen Feng received the news as soon as the disaster began, and soon Chen Feng warned the Japanese side as the No. 2 person in China that if the Japanese government and the Kwantung Army did not immediately stop this inhumane atrocity, he would retaliate against the Japanese.

However, it is obvious that Chen Feng's warning did not attract the attention of the Japanese side. In fact, it is understandable that the two sides are now inextricably linked, and where can the love of life and death be left.

The tragedy was still going on, and behind the dense Japanese pillbox defenses, a large number of Chinese civilians were being slaughtered and plundered in the most barbaric and bloody way, which made Chen Feng extremely angry.

At Chen Feng's request, the Soviet Red Army once again mobilized 150,000 troops to the eastern defense line. So far, the total strength of the Soviet army in the northeast has reached 800,000, and all of them are elite in a hundred battles.

On the Eastern Front, the Kwantung Army held the Tangwanghe-Yichun line with 8 divisions, and built a defensive line on the Jixi and Hegang lines with 4 divisions and nearly 50,000 puppet troops, and waited for an opportunity to capture Jiamusi.

In addition, there were at least 100,000 conscripted armed immigrants in the Japanese army on the Eastern Front, so in total, the total strength of the Japanese puppet army on the Eastern Front reached more than 300,000.

On the Western Front, the Japanese army had completely abandoned the area north of Harbin, and took the initiative to shrink its forces to the vicinity of Harbin, and according to the order of the Kwantung Army Headquarters, the front line of the Kwantung Army's defensive position was set up on the line from Harbin to Qiqihar.

On the line from Qiqihar to Harbin, the Japanese army deployed 7 divisions and 100,000 puppet troops, plus railway troops and water supply and epidemic prevention (731) troops, with a total strength of about 230,000, and more than 30,000 armed immigrants who could participate in the war at any time.

In addition to the Qiqihar battlefield, the Japanese army also had a battlefield in Ulanhot and Shuangliao, and each battlefield gathered at least more than 200,000 troops, and the Japanese army invested nearly 800,000 troops in the three battlefields of the Western Front alone, plus 300,000 troops on the Eastern Front, and the Japanese army directly invested more than 1.1 million troops in this battle.

There are still 200,000 or 300,000 Japanese troops scattered throughout the northeast, and at the same time, some of them are stationed in Xinjing, the capital of the puppet Manchurians, which shows that the Kwantung Army at this time has used all the resources that can be used.

Chen Feng's attention is now all in the northeast, so every move of the Japanese puppet army has not escaped his eyes, because of the early layout, so Chen Feng's intelligence department has infiltrated the military and political organs of the puppet Manchurian very strongly, and some ordinary military secrets of the Japanese puppet army Chen Feng can get the news at the first time.

The Japanese army's use of those armed immigrants had long been expected by Chen Feng, but he didn't care at all. Those Japanese armed immigrants can also bully the ordinary Chinese people, and they are not comparable to the regular army at all. The most direct and powerful proof is that in August 1945, the Soviet army invaded the territory of puppet Manchukuo from all directions, and its main direction of attack was the so-called front-line area of national defense where Japanese armed immigrants were densely populated, and Japan's strategic plan was launched.

However, the next morning, the "Volunteer Pioneer Regiment" found that the Kwantung Army's barracks were empty, and the Kwantung Army, with 24 divisions and 780,000 soldiers, had retreated south along the inner side of the railway. In the next few days, the defense line formed by the youth "volunteers" was broken down by the Soviet troops in an instant, and one-third of the youth "volunteers" were killed by the Soviet troops.

In terms of combat effectiveness, the Soviet Red Army was not at all comparable to the regular troops under Chen Feng's department, and Chen Feng's department was fighting on its own, and its advantages were not at all comparable to that of the Soviet Red Army, so Chen Feng did not pay attention to the hundreds of thousands of armed immigrants at all, and in Chen Feng's mind, it was just a problem that could be solved by a mere infantry division.

Chen Feng is now most concerned about the situation of the common people in the interior of the northeast, the news from the inside is very bad, although the Japanese army has reined in recently, but it has not stopped clearing the wilderness, and the atrocities of killing people and setting fires are still going on in the process, especially the Kwantung Army Command has handed over these tasks to those armed immigrants to carry out, which makes the situation even worse.

The Japanese soldiers were notoriously brutal, but compared to their brutality, the Japanese army was not comparable to those armed immigrants. Due to the lack of discipline, those armed immigrants can be said to be lawless, and they do not care about the life or death of the Chinese people at all, and act without scruples. For some yellow and white things, they can usually destroy their homes and destroy their homes, and if they find peerless treasures, they will even destroy the entire village, according to the statistics of intelligence personnel lurking in the northeast region, a total of more than 30 villages have been destroyed by these armed immigrants in recent times, and countless Chinese have been brutally killed.

This news made Chen Feng extremely resentful, and under Chen Feng's auspices, a revenge plan that had been brewing for a long time was put on the agenda. (To be continued......)
