    At dusk, in Xinjing City, Major General Yang Jiadong, commander of the siege force of the Independent Division and commander of the fifth brigade of the Outer Mongolia Field Corps, was also anxiously waiting for the order from the division commander. Puyi, the Kant Emperor of the Puppet Manchukuo State, and a large group of ministers  As well as the harem concubines and eunuchs, there are more than 200 people in total. It is not a big deal to always be detained at Cuijiayingzi Airport. In Yang Jiadong's view, the Kande Emperor is just a big burden.

    If they were prisoners of war from the Kwantung Army, it would be easier to handle. There were previous examples of all being taken to the prisoner-of-war camp in Kulun, Outer Mongolia. But what he had in his hands was not a prisoner of war from the Kwantung Army. Speaking of which, Yang Jiadong was not very happy.  Xinjing was fought for more than ten days. The total number of captured Kwantung Army prisoners of war and puppet Manchuria prisoners of war was less than 5,000. They were employees of the puppet Manchukuo government, including chiefs, deputy chiefs, and directors of various ministries.  They captured a large number of them, totaling 16,000 to 7,000 people.

    Altogether, there are more than 20,000 prisoners. How to deal with them has to wait for the order of the division commander. The troops attacking Fengtian, Xinjing and Harbin have been separated from their original organizations and returned to the direct command of the division commander. Under the command of the Kwantung Army Military Police Commander in Xinjing  Yang Jiadong, who was encamped in the ministry, received a call from the commander of the troops at Cuijiayingzi Airport. "Commander, you should come up with an idea quickly. Everything is going into chaos here!"

    Yang Jiadong was surprised, "What's going on? Please speak clearly!"

    "Commander, what kind of prisoners did we capture? Those eunuchs and puppet Manchukuo officials were shouting and crying for fear of being shot. Some of them took out gold and silver to bribe our soldiers.  . Let him escape secretly, that Emperor Kant is looking for death!"

    Yang Jiadong is on fire.  "I'm telling you, if someone escapes or dies, don't be the leader of the regiment! Keep strict supervision and strengthen the security!"

    Putting down the phone, Yang Jiadong was breathing heavily. At this time, the director of the brigade communications department came in.  "Commander, I received a telegram from the division commander about these prisoners of the puppet Manchukuo we captured!"

    Yang Jiadong grabbed him and sent a telegram.  "I have learned about the call. The identities of these prisoners are quite special and sensitive. I order your department to send out capable troops. We must ensure that they are safely escorted to the prisoner of war camp in Kulun, Outer Mongolia. No mistakes should be made during the journey. In addition, the division commander  Appoint the commander of the siege force, Yang Jiadong, commander of the 5th Brigade of the Outer Mongolia Field Corps, as the acting commander of the Xinjing Security Command, responsible for all security matters in the Xinjing city! "

    Yang Jiadong breathed a sigh of relief, finally dealing with this special batch of prisoners.  However, regarding the appointment behind the division command, he had the same thoughts as Marine Corps Chief of Staff Wang Dongshan, who was nervous. Did he break away from the combat order of the Outer Mongolia Field Corps and serve in the local security force?

    From a brigade commander of a field force to a commander of a local security commander, Yang Jiadong absolutely did not like this change of identity, but he did not have the courage of Wang Dongshan to think of sending a telegram directly to the division commander. Therefore, for the division  Yang Jiadong, who was in a depressed mood, ordered two regiments of troops to be sent to escort the captives to Kulun in Outer Mongolia. Then, he plunged into the work of restoring public security and market order in Xinjing.  among.

    It was Tang Qiuli's decision to escort Puyi and other puppet Manchukuo personnel to Kulun in Outer Mongolia after careful consideration. At first, he wanted to escort Puyi and others to Peking for custody, but he felt it was inappropriate.  There were many old and young people from the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Maybe they could use Puyi's name to do something famous. Wouldn't I give them a symbolic figure?

    Although these Manchu remnants, old and young, could not afford to cause much trouble, they were still unexpected troubles. After much deliberation, it was more appropriate to send Puyi and others to the prisoner-of-war camp in Kulun, Outer Mongolia. This eliminated any ulterior motives.  Of course, Tang Qiuli also sent a telegram to Li Honggang in Kulun, Outer Mongolia, specifically emphasizing that Puyi and others should not be treated the same as Kwantung Army prisoners of war!

    In other words, unlike Puyi, which was an internal conflict that had to be resolved behind closed doors, the prisoners of war of the Kwantung Army were invaders. Tang Qiuli's doing this could be regarded as giving Puyi preferential treatment. In his eyes, this  The poor last emperor of the Manchu Qing Dynasty could spend the rest of his life peacefully. At least, he didn't have to live in fear all day long!

    With the recapture of Xinjing, among the three large cities in the Northeast, only Harbin has not yet been captured. Although the two commanders of the North Manchu Combat Group, Colonel Wang Jun, Chief of Staff of the Outer Mongolia Field Corps, and the Independent Division Commander Cavalry Unit  The commander, Major General Liu Chun, implemented a small plan to attract the main force of the Kwantung Army's garrison in Harbin's urban area to the wild areas. He dealt a heavy blow to the Wujia and Bingfang areas. However, the Kwantung Army's garrison in Harbin's urban area was dealt a heavy blow.  There are still more than 10,000 troops.

    ¡°Coupled with the garrison strength of the Puppet Manchuria Army, there are more than 40,000 people. This is the special situation of the Harbin area.Unlike Fengtian and Xinjing, the Kwantung Army and the Puppet Manchurian Army's garrison forces in these two places had been exhausted before the decision to attack, while the Kwantung Army and the Puppet Manchuria Army's garrison forces in Harbin were basically intact.  , if you don¡¯t want to place the battlefield in the urban area of ??Harbin, you have to rely on time and take your time!

    Obviously, the news that the other two siege troops of the Independent Division had recovered Fengtian and Xinjing stimulated Wang Jun and Liu Chun. It would be a lie to say that they were not in a hurry. No, now in Tang Qiuli's hands,  There were telegrams from two people.

    The content of the telegram is the latest operational plan for attacking Harbin formulated by the North Manchuria Combat Group Headquarters. The core content is to use the strong military and firepower advantages to storm Harbin. Moreover, Wang Jun and Liu Chun are full of confidence.  I guarantee that we will use five days to completely capture Harbin!

    "Wang Jun and Liu Chun are anxious!" Tang Qiuli said with a smile to Ge Zhenzhuang, director of the division's staff department.

    Ge Zhenzhuang expressed his understanding, "Commander, the anxiety of the North Manchuria Combat Group Headquarters is also reasonable. The three big cities in the Northeast, Fengtian and Xinjing, have been recovered, and among the three siege troops, the North  The Manchu Combat Group has the strongest troops and equipment, and was the first to start the battle, but now it is lagging behind, and the two commanders Wang and Liu do not dare to lag behind! "

    "The situations are different, how can we treat them all the same!" Tang Qiuli shook his head and said, "The situation in Harbin is special. I called Wang Jun and Liu Chun back. After careful consideration, the commander disagrees with your plan to attack Harbin!"

    "For the remaining forces of the Kwantung Army and the Puppet Manchuria rebels that have retreated to the urban area of ??Harbin, it is not necessary to resort to forceful attacks. Instead, we can adopt long-term siege tactics to tire and consume their will to resist and strive for their surrender. If so, then  Harbin can be saved from the scourge of war. In addition, the division commander has ordered Chu Tian, ??the leader of the special operations detachment, to rush to Harbin in person to command the infiltration troops! "

    "In addition, mind-attack tactics can be adopted. The division command intelligence office will provide your department with information on the suicides of more than 20 senior officers, including Commander-in-Chief Nanjiro of the Kwantung Army and Chief of General Staff Kenjiro Matsuda, as well as information on the battlefields in Western Manchuria and Western Liaoning.  The main force of the Kwantung Army, surrender and other information are used as the basis for attacking the heart. There is a saying in the art of war, 'attacking the heart is the top, and attacking the city is the bottom!' Xu Tuzhi, the best strategy is the position!"

    After receiving the order from the division commander, Wang Jun and Liu Chun, who were ready to fight, had no choice but to cease their activities and order the prepared troops to be on standby. Wang Jun looked at Liu Chun and said distressedly: "Commander Liu, regarding the division commander's proposal,  What are your thoughts on tactics?¡±

    Liu Chun said fiercely: "What are your ideas? If the division commander doesn't allow a strong attack, then let's change our tactics and surround Harbin. It will be watertight. Not even a mouse will be let out, and not even a grain of grain or a vegetable outside will be released."  We are not allowed to enter the city, and the food route is cut off. How long can the little devils survive? The entire Northeast is in our hands. Even if we are surrounded by an isolated island in Harbin, I can trap the little devils to death!"

    Harbin, an isolated city, had no impact on the situation of regaining the Northeast. Tang Qiuli would not focus on Harbin. On September 11, Colonel Han Guangqi, Chief of Staff of the North China Field Corps, commanded the rapid mechanized force.  , after clearing the peripheral Kwantung Army local garrison units, they launched a full-scale attack on Vladivostok. After three days of fierce fighting, by September 14, Vladivostok was completely captured.

    In this battle, the North China Field Corps of the Independent Division lasted three days and annihilated more than 18,000 Kwantung Army Vladivostok garrison troops, including a Marine Regiment of the Japanese Far East Fleet. With the cooperation of the infiltration troops,  Most of the military port facilities have been preserved from destruction by the Kwantung Army. However, Vladivostok is called the anchorage of the Japanese Far East Fleet, but in fact, there are no warships at all!

    The Japanese Navy and the Americans are fighting fiercely in the Eastern Pacific Ocean. The Japanese Navy's Far East Fleet has already set off for the battlefield. There are only dilapidated ships in the military port, no more than a dozen. This makes Han Guangqi, who is preparing to make a fortune,  , I hate it so much that my teeth itch.

    The recovery of Vladivostok is of great significance. This ice-free port facing the Sea of ??Japan and allowing access to the vast Pacific Ocean has been plagued by disasters. Since 1856, the corrupt and cowardly Manchu Qing government was beaten to pieces by polar bears. Regulations  Vladivostok was jointly managed by China and Russia. Four years later, during the Second Opium War, Tsarist Russia struck again and dealt a severe blow to the crumbling Manchu Qing government. It signed the "Sino-Russian Treaty of Beijing" and officially ceded Vladivostok to  Tsarist Russia.

    Along with Vladivostok, 400,000 square kilometers of land east of the Ussuri River, including Sakhalin Island, were ceded. As a result, Vladivostok became the base of Tsarist Russia¡¯s Pacific Fleet, and it became a sharp claw of the polar bear extending into the Pacific Ocean.  .

    Later, during the Russo-Japanese War, Vladivostok was occupied by the Japanese army and became the bridgehead and rear base for the Japanese army to attack the Far East of the Soviet Union. Now, finallyIn Tang Qiuli's hands, he was completely recovered!

    Seeing Han Guangqi's victory telegram, Tang Qiuli was so excited that he could hardly control himself!
