Chapter 646: Confiscation of property

Xu Guang had just graduated from the Fengtian Aviation School a month ago, and he was a rookie in the Air Force, and this was the first time he had participated in a battle, and when he flew a bomber and crossed the Yalu River, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

The target of the bombing was Sinuiju, a city across the river from Dandong, the choke point from North Korea to the northeast and the most industrially developed place along the Yalu River.

The topography of the Korean Peninsula is mountainous in the north, rich in mineral resources, and the plains in the south are mainly developed in agriculture, and after the Japanese occupied Korea, according to the characteristics of the Korean Peninsula, nine out of ten investments were placed in North Korea. Sinuiju is also one of the key investment areas, with industrial sectors such as coal, metallurgy, mining, and electric power.

For this industrially developed and fat meat in front of him, Feng Jun will definitely not let go, Feng Yong specially arranged a bomber group to launch an air attack on Sinuiju when he planned to bomb Jihua.

In order to avoid the surveillance of the Japanese, Xu Guang and his men deliberately bypassed the northern part of Sinuiju, 20 kilometers from Sinuiju, and then went all the way to the eastern part of the city, and then launched an attack.

"Factory!" Xu Guang, who was flying, suddenly brightened his eyes, and more than a dozen tall red brick chimneys appeared in front of them, constantly spraying black smoke, these pollution sources that were hated in later generations were recognized as a symbol of national strength at this time, and they were also the targets that needed to be attacked.

Xu Guang suddenly lowered his altitude, and according to the number of attacks he had simulated in his mind, he swept over the factory, and two 120-kilogram high-explosive bombs were dropped.

With a bang, a huge fireball slammed into the air, and the fire dragon in the hell was released, and the strong air flow pushed Xu Guang's bomber up hundreds of meters at once. He only felt as if he had been in the middle of the sea, turning into a flat boat, swaying in the wind.

Xu Guang used all his strength. The four piston engines reached their maximum power, staggering out of the airflow. Xu Guang, who escaped by chance, was shocked into a cold sweat, but the risk he took was obviously worth it, the two bombs just now just blew up the main engine room of the power plant below, the violent air current, the raging flames, quickly engulfed the surrounding buildings, and the employees of the power plant were also in the flames, constantly crying and struggling, zuihou completely turned into coke.

A total of twenty bombs were dropped on the bombers of the Feng army. Sinuiju's largest power plant was completely destroyed, and the power supply to northern North Korea plummeted by more than 30 percent. Electricity is the driving force of industry, and without electricity, factory production has been generally affected, and the Japanese have reduced their industrial capacity in northern Korea by more than 20% in a short period of time.

Bombers continued to wreak havoc over Sinuiju. The factory area was all bombed, the steel plant. Metallurgical plant. All were damaged to varying degrees. Seeing that Sinuiju was on fire everywhere, these soldiers were still unsatisfied, and they flew to Yongyanpo, the outer port of Sinuiju.

There were exactly three freighters here, loading and unloading cargo, and the war came suddenly, and the Japanese were not prepared. Therefore, they could only temporarily recruit merchant ships to transport supplies. The port was piled with food, military uniforms, bedding. Cans and so on, bombers appeared over the unsuspecting harbor, as if the wolf was eyeing the lamb, and the beautiful woman stood naked in front of the villain.

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

The explosions sounded one after another, the bombers dropped all the remaining bombs on the port, those flammable materials encountered explosions, the consequences can be imagined, the flames soared, all these precious materials were burned, and there was no way to rescue them, and the Japanese simply wanted to cry without tears.

Even if the Yalu River Bridge is still there, the North Korean garrison will not want to attack the northeast within three to five days, and the actions of the air force will buy the Feng army precious time to clear the internal enemy.

"Humble words, the Air Force has done a good job, and it must be rewarded!" Looking at the battle report, Yang Yuting couldn't help but say excitedly.

Zhang Tinglan also smiled: "I really didn't expect that the Japanese ignored the air threat to this point, and it was completely an undefended city." ”

"Dashuai, since this is the case, you should take this opportunity to bomb the Japanese well, otherwise once they wake up, it will not be so easy."

While he was talking, Li Jinglin and Su Liangzhen walked in one after another, Li Jinglin still had gunpowder smoke on his body, and said loudly: "Marshal, we have successfully wiped out all the Japanese garrisons in Mukden, killed more than 1,500 people, captured more than 1,000 prisoners, and captured more than 800 armed expatriates. ”

Li Jinglin successfully solved a problem, and with the demise of this army, it also marked the return of the railway annex that had been stolen by the great powers for decades to finally return to the hands of the Chinese, which is definitely a happy event to celebrate.

Zhang Tinglan also said with satisfaction: "Very good, let the brothers adjust and immediately go to aid Gaizhou, where the war is tense and facing the Japanese ace troops, which makes people a little uneasy!" ”

"Marshal, this lone army of Japan is a piece of cake, we don't need to rest, we can continue to fight immediately."

"Alright, let's go right now."

Li Jinglin saluted and immediately went into action. Su Liangzhen held a stack of lists and sent them to Zhang Tinglan, and said with a smile: "Dashuai, these are the property of the Japanese in the three eastern provinces, please take a look." ”

Although there was no formal declaration of war with Japan, since the fight started, Zhang Tinglan would not be polite, and Japan's industries in the three eastern provinces would naturally not be let go, and all of them would be confiscated.

Don't look at Zhang Tinglan's years of suppression, but the original Japanese investment in the Northeast is quite amazing, and these industrial and mining enterprises cannot be easily moved, so they naturally fell into the hands of Fengjun at this time.

The exact amount of wealth plundered by the Japanese from the three eastern provinces is an astronomical figure that can never be accurately estimated. Artillery, warships, and even lead and zinc for bullets, cement for construction, etc., are all produced in the Northeast, not to mention military rations, iron ore, coal, and wood.

But even decades after this predatory frenzy of mining and digging, the three eastern provinces still support half of China's heavy industry. At this time, the amount plundered by the Japanese was limited, and Zhang Tinglan still held the land of the Far East in his hands, if we add the mineral resources of North Korea and other places, a treasure trove that is more vast and has greater potential than the Great Lakes of the United States and the Ruhr region of Germany is basically completely placed in front of Zhang Tinglan.

Defend this place, develop this place, this is the foundation of a great country! With this, China did not have to rely on overseas resources to achieve self-sufficiency throughout the early stage of industrialization, which is a remarkable thing.

"Dashuai, the Japanese have more than 300 mines of various types, and according to the known reserves, these mines are also worth more than 50 million yen. In addition, we have also taken back the Japanese shares of the Benxihu Coal and Iron Company, as well as the iron ore mines controlled by the Japanese, and now they are all back to our hands. ”

At the beginning, Zhang Tinglan fought with the Japanese for the iron ore in Benxi, but the feng shui took turns, and now the second largest iron and steel enterprise in the three eastern provinces has finally completely fallen into the hands of Fengjun.

According to the current level of exploration, there are more than four billion tons of iron ore in Anshan, and two billion tons in Benxi, if you add 20 billion tons of reserves in Irkutsk and Chita and other regions! A steel industry with infinite potential has been demonstrated, and with these iron ores, it can create the hard backbone of the Chinese dragon, with steel teeth and claws.

After seeing this, Jiang Baili and Yang Yuting both showed surprised looks, and they also realized for the first time that the Northeast was really a heaven-sent treasure land. It's just that the Manchus were ignorant and incompetent, and instead of building this place into the foundation of a strong country, they played with wicker plugs and became a paradise for wild beasts.

As a result, the Russians seized the Outer Northeast, the Japanese occupied South Manchuria, and the huge outflow of wealth was actually the outflow of national fortunes.

"Anything else?" Zhang Tinglan asked without moving.

Su Liangzhen said with a smile: "At present, there are a total of 35 Japanese-funded factories in the three eastern provinces, of which there are 7 large-scale ones, including two large coal mines, Manchurian Iron Co., Ltd., Anshan Iron Works and so on. 856 sets of machinery and equipment, 207 trucks, 12 locomotives, and 75 wagons; In addition, 11 offices of Japanese-funded banks were raided, including the Bank of Korea and the Jeongjin Bank. The total amount of hard currency seized such as gold, silver and currency is more than 1,300 yuan, and if you add fixed assets such as railways and land, the total amount has exceeded 100 million oceans. ”

After hearing this figure, Zhang Tinglan also secretly gasped, he spared no effort in suppressing the tentacles of the Japanese economy. However, the fact that the Japanese can still have so much wealth shows how greedy they are, and according to historical records, in 1914 the total Japanese investment in China was about 900 million yen, and the indiscriminate issuance of currency alone amounted to tens of millions.

Even if Zhang Tinglan's property did not increase after he appeared, it was far more than the number that appeared, so from this point of view, the so-called Kanto Prefecture, that is, Lushun and Dalian, are the big fat meat! The strength of the Japanese-funded enterprises inside is stronger, and the oil and water are more amazing.

"To put it mildly, since we have torn our faces, then don't be polite, we will simply be ruthless and take back all the Luda, so that the Japanese can really taste the pain into the bone marrow." Yang Yuting's eyes were red and he said, obviously this calm chief of staff was also stimulated by these wealth.

"Marshal, when we searched the consulates of the Japanese and the archives of various enterprises, we also found a large number of maps, including the distribution of resources and the distribution of population. It's a shame that some of the Japanese figures are more detailed than ours. ”

The Japanese are a vicious wolf with vicious intentions, seeing these detailed maps and instructions, Jiang Baili's head was lowered, obviously the staff didn't even do it so carefully.

After a while, Jiang Baili said: "Humble words, this battle really should be fought, it must be fought!" (To be continued......)
