. The Kwantung Army took over Tingdong Banshu Dongzhou and Dongzhou after the Russo-Japanese War in 1991, that is, the area east of Shanhaiguan. It was formerly under the jurisdiction of Russia and the right to operate the South Manchuria Railway. In order to protect South Manchuria, Japan Railway rights established the "Manchurian Railway Garrison" and stationed a division in southern Manchuria.
Although later history has changed because of Hua Fei's existence. However, the Japanese army invaded the Northeast, eventually eliminated Zhang Zuoshuang, and sent out large-scale troops to occupy the Northeast. This did not change the general direction. The original headquarters of the Kwantung Army was also replaced by the headquarters of the Great Northeast Army.
The infamous bacteriological warfare unit was established in 1911. This is why Unit 1 is notorious and infamous. Not because of their germ weapons research. Not only the countries of the world at that time, but even the world decades later, chemical weapons and bacteriological weapons. Even genetic weapons are a secret research project. However, the Yin troops used civilians and prisoners of war to conduct drug experiments, and the number of people who died under the experiments was high. Even if not comparable to the Nazi concentration camps. But its severity and brutality are definitely worse than that.
As for whether other countries in the world have conducted relevant experiments on living people, no one knows. The crimes of the Earthworm Force were exposed to the world, and Japan was ultimately the defeated country in World War II. All of this has naturally become the focus of the world's crusade and has been used as a real case of "wake-up war."
Therefore, it is no longer impossible for the Japanese army to establish a chemical weapons laboratory here in 1900. So when Cai Xun received the news, he was so happy that he didn't know what actions to use to vent this unexpected gain. Because of this harvest, the originally passive situation has become brighter. The Wehrmacht could even proactively control the crisis. Although this did not achieve the result of covering up the truth, in Cai Pin's heart, he did not think about covering up the truth of history.
When the news of the discovery of the Japanese chemical weapons research center in Shenyang reached the general headquarters, all the staff present relaxed their brows in unison. Many possible crises would be solved due to this discovery. The public opinion offensive attempted by the Japanese army will eventually shoot itself up.
foot.
Although he knew that Cai Xun and the others had probably been making preparations for a long time, Li Yue couldn't hold back his surprise and sent a telegram to Northeast China, asking them to properly collect all relevant evidence details for use.
As soon as Shenyang arrived, several armies finally completely surrounded Xinmin's more than 100,000 Japanese troops. The offensives came one after another. In order to strengthen the firepower, Cai Leng and the others even did not hesitate to inflict accidental fire damage. They mobilized almost all the heavy artillery firepower and air force that could be mobilized, pushing the entire Xinmin area into the flames of war. Even though the terrain here is not convenient for tanks to maneuver, many tanks are still sent into battle to provide important auxiliary power.
The fighting lasted from the early morning of July 8 to the early morning of the next day, and the gunshots began to be sparse. The deeper the attacking forwards go. The more corpses there are. The corpses of the Japanese Northeastern Army, the National Defense Forces, the Korean puppet troops, and the civilians who were forcibly requisitioned by the Japanese army, and the burnt smell made the entire war full of sadness and desolation.
This is a war of annihilation that leaves no survivors alive, even if it reaches the end of the road. The Japanese army in the Xinmin area forced the National Defense Forces to pay a heavy price with 30,000 killed and 50,000 seriously injured, as for those who were slightly injured. That¡¯s countless. In the entire Shenyang decisive battle, the National Defense Forces lost more than 40,000 soldiers and 100,000 people were seriously injured. The casualties accounted for a quarter of the total deployed troops and 70% of the total casualties in the entire Northeast Campaign. It can be seen that this last battle In this battle, the resistance the National Defense Forces encountered was so tenacious. What a heavy price to pay.
However, after paying such a price, the results gained were also huge. After this battle, Japan's 600,000-strong army was almost wiped out, including the main elite 300,000-strong local army. If you add in the 100,000 troops on the troop carrier that was sunk in the previous naval battle, the Japanese army lost more than 700,000 troops in a short period of time, of which 400,000 were Japanese soldiers.
Especially in the Battle of Shenyang, the last 300,000 Northeastern Army troops, including nearly 200,000 core Japanese elite troops of the Northeastern Army, which was Japan's most powerful main force in the Northeast, were completely wiped out. Without a single prisoner, the number of Japanese soldiers who escaped during the war could not be counted.
The Northeastern Campaign. More than 400,000 Japanese troops were directly killed, most of whom were killed in the Battle of Shenyang. There were about 50,000 captured troops, of which 40,000 were Korean puppet troops and 10,000 were wounded Japanese soldiers. Most of them were the result of the battle before the Shenyang Battle. A large number of seriously injured soldiers died after treatment failed. After the Battle of Shenyang, the National Defense Forces launched a comprehensive cleaning operation against the Japanese troops scattered throughout the Northeast. Most of the remaining Japanese troops gave up resistance and quickly returned to China by boat.
In addition to causing a heavy blow to the Japanese military strength, the National Defense Forces also destroyed and injured 1 Japanese tank, cars and motorcycles. Planes were flying and all kinds of artillery bombarded the door. Several tanks, one car, and 11 aircraft were seized. EachThere are four artillery pieces and various types of firearms. Others include food and ammunition. Countless military supplies such as horses and tents were seized, and Japan's vault in the Northeast Bank was seized, and dozens of tons of gold were harvested. In addition, most of the factories and enterprises built by Japan in industrial and mining investment and construction in Northeast China were seized and sealed.
The overall situation of the Northeast Campaign has been decided, and what is gained is not just the data harvest on the books, nor is it that almost all the investment and construction of the Japanese army in the Northeast over the years have been captured by Nanjing, but that after this battle, Japan was defeated, and China finally Ushering in the de facto reunification of the country, the reunification in which the territory is basically intact and the sovereignty is basically restored. A unified China, a sovereign China, and a China with unprecedented military strength are rising on the eastern continent.
And Japan. They experienced the war with the heaviest military losses since the Meiji Restoration. This battle directly severely damaged the vitality of the Japanese army, and it may take several years to fully recover. The 400,000 Japanese army is obviously a disaster for Japan, which has a population of less than 60 million. Even if the Japanese Army can quickly replenish the number of troops lost in the East, these lost weapons and equipment cannot be restored in a short time by this group of combat-experienced soldiers, this group of war-tested veterans.
In addition, the strong fighting will and style of the National Defense Forces in the Battle of Shenyang fully demonstrated the tough spirit of the revolutionary New Army era. Although the National Defense Forces also paid heavy casualties for this, the mental outlook and inner military soul of the National Defense Forces after this war have obviously become more pure and capable like steel quenching.
And those North Korean puppet troops who surrendered were completely stunned, and they were secretly grateful for their original choice. If they do not surrender, the fate that awaits them will be the same as that of the puppet troops in the Shenyang area. Even surrender will become impossible, and they will all be buried under the angry muzzle fire of the National Defense Forces. No, this can no longer be described as tough, this is ferocious, this is an extremely ferocious army.
The Battle of Northeast China. Not only did the beating severely weaken the Japanese and made them frightened, but it also made these Korean puppet soldiers completely lose their minds. Whether they believe it or not, in the eyes of these Koreans, the once powerful Central Empire has stood up beside them.
Although the Japanese government tried its best to block the news in the country, the news of the total destruction of the Northeast Army spread throughout Japan through various channels. Countless Japanese people initially did not agree with some bad Japanese youths who went to the streets and shouted for more troops to be sent to Northeast China. Completely defeat the slogan of Nvfeng Shiba. However, as more and more powerful news continued to confirm the fact that the Japanese army was defeated, especially the original newspaper reports from various countries that began to circulate in the country, the stunned Japanese people gradually began to understand that the defeat of hundreds of thousands of Kwantung Army, three The entire 100,000 Japanese army was wiped out and annihilated in the black land of Liaodong.
Crazy is just one extreme going to another extreme. Due to the huge benefits of the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, Japan has gradually moved towards a militaristic state over the years. The people live frugally and the country's chaebols monopolize a large amount of wealth, and use the huge wealth as a backing to support the government. and the army continues to invade and expand foreign countries in order to gain more benefits.
However, in these years of constant defeats in the confrontation with China, especially after the last battle in which 100,000 Japanese troops were ambushed and buried in the sea, Japan seems to be angered all day long, and there is a crazy clamor for revenge among the people. So much so that when China sent a peace negotiation envoy to Tokyo. The division encountered various obstacles in Japan.
It can be said that the Japanese government is aware of its own suffering. Due to the public opinion of the domestic community, the last hope of a peaceful resolution has been dashed.
It¡¯s just that not only the Japanese people at the time but also the Japanese government would not have imagined that the Chinese army would launch a comprehensive attack on the Japanese troops in Northeast China so quickly. At this time, many people remembered that during the original peace negotiations, many young Japanese military officers pointed out that China's peace negotiations lacked sincerity and were their tactic to delay the war.
When a large number of facts were exposed by newspapers, especially a letter of protest from the Japanese government to the Nanjing government, protesting the use of mustard gas by the Chinese National Defense Forces against the Japanese army, refusing the surrender of the Japanese army, massacring prisoners of the Japanese army, and a series of other issues were raised to China Stern negotiations.
Although the Japanese people do not know the details, through this conclusive evidence, most people have believed that the previous series of rumors may be true. Relatives who had children at home and whose husbands were stationed in the Northeast were the first to stand up to protest, demanding that the government announce the results and facts of the war as soon as possible.
No matter how the Japanese government handles this incident, no matter how much riots occur in Japan, more and more Japanese people have completely lost interest in the issue of expansion to the continental shelf. This change is not just because they have paid too much and gained nothing, but in the eyes of most Japanese, their influence on national strength has rapidly diminished.The rise of the central empire against Xiaofang is a dead end. Moreover, today's squadron is so cruel that they actually use the blood of hundreds of thousands of Yamato men as fertilizer for the black soil.
Japan, a country, has always been deeply influenced by China. In the middle of Ming Dynasty, bandits once disrupted coastal defense, but for Japan, they did not gain much benefit. Later, with the help of the rise of the Industrial Revolution, Japan first occupied Korea and initially tasted the benefits of foreign invasion and expansion. This sweetness was maximized in the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1894 and the subsequent Hsin-Chou War. Finally, Japan's victory in the Russo-Japanese War initially established Japan's political position in East Asia.
Later, he took advantage of the opportunity of the First World War. The rapid development of Japan's industry and national power plunged the entire nation into a kind of fanaticism, a kind of extreme madness and hysteria of the nouveau riche, and eventually it entered the Second World War deeply. In the end, two atomic bombs blew the nation back to its original shape. Awakening in the midst of fanaticism, living completely without self in the shadow of a powerful country.
To a certain extent, the National Defense Forces completely wiped out the Japanese troops in Northeast China and used astonishing mustard gas, which made most people subconsciously afraid. Shenyang is a city, and the entire Japanese island is not a city. If the Chinese ** team throws those gas bombs towards the Japanese mainland, then the result will be
?
?Although this change is only subtle. Japan's foreign policy will not be reversed immediately, but when the accumulation of quantitative changes reaches the critical point of qualitative changes, this subtle psychology and Japan's national character will directly determine Japan's future direction.
Character determines destiny. This is true for an individual. It is also true for a country
The historical significance of the Northeast War. It cannot be overrated. That is not only the first step in the initial unification of China's territorial facts, but also a series of changes in the entire East Asian political situation, geosecurity environment, future national diplomacy, military, security direction, etc. In the future, it will directly affect Japan's future national strategic direction, and even the world, it will also cause a huge shock to the international political landscape, and directly affect a series of subsequent international military ideas, war styles and combat methods.
In particular, the Battle of Northeast China showed a series of new tactics, and some new weapons, especially tanks, showed their prowess on the battlefield. The psychological impact on military units around the world was obviously no less than a magnitude 10 earthquake. of.
In addition, the air force once again played a powerful role in this war, with the powerful mobility of mechanized troops and the use of various tactics. In particular, the large-scale use of chemical weapons such as poison gas bombs directly affected the trend of the war, which became a model for the armies of various countries to study in the future. From the side, it accelerated the mechanization construction of the armies and the modernization of the air forces of various countries, which made it possible after World War II. Countries such as Britain and France, which had been somewhat slack on military construction, tightened their belts and increased investment in the military.
The final decisive offensive was originally scheduled to end on the 10th. Until the 11th, there was still sporadic resistance in the Xinmin area. It's not that the will of the Japanese army can be so tenacious, but that they cannot surrender. Raising a gun means death, and resistance means death. The desperate Japanese troops either launched a desperate breakout battle or stayed in position until they ran out of ammunition, leaving the last bullet in their heads.
A poison gas war has almost put the National Defense Forces into a huge crisis, and it is still unknown whether this crisis can be resolved and to what extent it can be resolved. Therefore, at this time, although the temptation to surrender and kill prisoners was very strong, no one dared to do so. This is not just a violation of military orders, but once done. I'm afraid it's impossible to absolve ourselves of the guilt of massacre of prisoners
In Chinese history, Bai Qi killed hundreds of thousands of Zhao soldiers. Although some people respected him as the God of War, many historians gave him very few positive comments and praises. This shows how outrageous the killing of prisoners was, and even It is not impossible that it will also cause negative reactions. To this end, the international community formed a joint trial court. It is not an exaggerated guess that Hua Fei declares crimes against humanity and war crimes and publishes them.
"However, the sporadic resistance of the Northeastern Japanese army has made it impossible to reverse the situation of the war. So on the 10th, Hua Fei returned to Nanjing according to his planned schedule and devoted his energy to the national popular election that was about to begin with great fanfare.
Since I received a letter from Qi Haichen last time, Hua Fei did not take a plane this time. Instead, he secretly traveled to Nanjing by train in plain clothes, mainly to listen to public opinion and consult the people about the real response to the special protection law.
Since there was no television in this era, although Hua Fei's photo once appeared in newspapers, the black and white ink printed image, compared with the slightly made-up Hua Fei, would not be associated with a person at all. Moreover, since it was a secret ride, although the entire train was quietly taken over by security guards, most passengers did not know what big passengers would be on the train, let alone Hua Hua.Flying, as the president of a country, he would fly in such an ordinary vehicle.
"However, Hua Fei's expectations this time were destined to fail. The difference from Qi Haichen's time was that the National Defense Forces finally achieved such a great victory, which was reported in the newspaper. Under the overwhelming propaganda on the radio, the people who had been indifferent to national affairs became excited under the influence of the excited crowd around them.
Before the train started, the newspaper seller suddenly ran onto the train, holding a stack of newspapers and shouted, "News, big news, the Japanese army secretly established a chemical weapons research laboratory in Shenyang and used my compatriots to conduct ** experiments!"
"Fact investigation, Japan stores a large amount of chemical weapons in Shenyang City, true investigation report, a lot of evidence and photos!"
The whole train immediately became commotion. In fact, before these news came out, there were a lot of international news reports about the use of mustard gas by the National Defense Forces in Shenyang, and a large number of innocent people in Shenyang were harmed. However, a large number of reports quoted Japanese official information and there was no conclusive evidence, so newspapers from various countries still stated it in a relatively objective and fair manner. Internationally, various countries have also put pressure on the Nanjing government in response to this matter, demanding that China open the battlefield and accept the investigation of the nationally recommended investigation team.
Due to the relatively relaxed public opinion environment in China, many newspapers also reprinted these news. Although this news was dismissed as slander and slander by most people, various rumors spread naturally, and because there has been no clear official response, the versions of these rumors have become more and more outrageous. Until I heard someone say that the Wehrmacht was loud, and the winning version included the Wehrmacht firing a mustard gas poisonous egg, and the little Japanese died immediately, and the entire army was destroyed. When someone asks what mustard gas is, many people are speechless and can at most reply that it is probably a stink bomb or something like an artillery shell.
Stink bomb? Is it possible that hundreds of thousands of Japanese soldiers were stinked to death? I wonder if the Japanese soldiers who died under the torture of mustard gas would get up in anger and die again after hearing these remarks
Although Hua Fei was the only one in the whole train who knew the truth, he still paid for a newspaper and started reading it in the slowly accelerating train. As expected, the National Defense Forces, which had mastered the secret development of chemical weapons by the Japanese army in Shenyang, responded to international inquiries and waves of inquiries from domestic opposition parties. The Jagged Military News just suddenly exposed all the complete evidence they had. .
Shocking photos, unavoidable facts, documents, experimental data and other evidence that can never be refuted are all displayed one by one. In the military newspaper of the National Defense Forces, there was no subjective or objective comment on the mustard gas incident in Shenyang, but only the relevant evidence and materials of the chemical weapons research center established by the Japanese army in Shenyang were displayed one by one. Although the Jagged Army Newspaper said nothing, the meaning revealed in it was already very obvious. Major official news newspapers and private newspapers quoted the evidence from Jagged Army Daily and accused the Japanese government of confusing right and wrong and making bloody remarks. Not only did they set up such a secret agency in China, but they also used mustard gas to attack our army, and finally shifted all the blame for these crimes to the National Defense Forces. This is a conspiracy, a stupid conspiracy carried out by the Japanese government when it saw that the Northeast War situation was hopeless.
The evidence is conclusive, and the living evidence that a large number of Wehrmacht soldiers were injured by poison gas is irrefutable. As for why more Japanese soldiers and people died from mustard gas in Shenyang City, isn't that simple? How many mustard gas and other gas bombs did your Japanese army store in Shenyang City? Whether it was because of our army's bombing or because of the poison gas you detonated is an unsolved mystery.
Through this simple diversion method, the National Defense Force did not deny the fact that a large number of people in Shenyang were injured by poison gas bombs, but highlighted the chemical weapons research institute established by the Japanese army in Shenyang and guided the public towards such a hypothesis. , could it be a bombing by the Air Force. The Japanese ammunition depot was accidentally blown up and mustard gas spread in the city. Based on all the current evidence and reports, this is the most likely possibility, which also explains why the National Defense Force has not directly denied it. If it was really accidentally bombed by an Air Force plane, it is really difficult to draw a conclusion on who is responsible and whether the National Defense Forces are responsible.
¡°Such a seemingly simple method, but in fact the details are very complicated, needless to say, it was the skill of General Headquarters Staff Officer Li Yue and others. Through such vague guidance of public opinion that seems to be impeccable at first glance but is less suspicious upon closer inspection, the public has been successfully allowed to accept the fact that a large number of people in Shenyang City were harmed by Juziqi during the war. And finally, through Japan's chemical weapons laboratory, it diverted the burning anger of some people in the country.
Half an hour before Hua Fei left the headquarters, the spokesperson of the Nanjing Government Presidential Office responded directly to reporters¡¯ questions about the incident for the first time. The spokesperson replied that in this Northeast operation, Commander-in-Chief Hua and the Commander-in-Chief of the National Defense Forces The staff members of the headquarters have always been located in the rear for operational planning and command.President Hua attached great importance to the fact that the people in Yangcheng were harmed by mustard gas and personally formed a special investigation military team to conduct a comprehensive investigation into the matter and provide answers to the people.
The prestige of Hua Fei is needless to mention in the country, and the government has made such a commitment, which means that the government has not avoided this incident. No matter what the outcome of the investigation is, at least until the results of the investigation come out, at least no new information has been exposed by Japan or other forces. On the premise of the evidence, this big crisis today was temporarily hidden. If the Nanjing government is cunning enough, or if Nanjing is lucky enough, it can easily eliminate this incident that may be serious enough to plunge the country into war again.
Putting down the newspaper, Hua Fei looked out the train window with a relaxed look. Obviously, Li Yue and the others' thorough preparations kept the consequences of this matter to a minimum. Of course, if the Japanese chemical weapons laboratory was not finally discovered in Shenyang City, Li Yue and the others might have been in a lot of trouble, and the method they adopted would not have been so easy and more effective.
Although Hua Fei did not ask about the relevant details, he called back his third brother, Hua Yan, who almost became Hua Fei's second shadow and was in charge of the military intelligence bureau.
He is personally responsible for selecting his cronies to form a secret investigation team, cooperating with the military investigation team on the surface, destroying all suspicious points found, and being responsible for long-term surveillance of anyone who is concerned about this matter, so that this matter can be solved The truth should not be exposed at least during his lifetime.
Through these preparations, Hua Fei believes that even if it is not foolproof, it has minimized the possible negative impact. Looking at the cheerful smiling faces in the carriage, Hua Fei suddenly missed his wife and daughter very much. Once the general election is over, I'm afraid there will be some free time. It's time to bring their mother and daughter back and make up for their responsibilities as husband and father.
Released the fetters in his heart, Hua Fei also participated in the conversation throughout the carriage. With Hua Fei's fascinating eloquence and personal charm that people couldn't help but be attracted to, the passengers in the entire carriage were laughing all the way. This place seems to have become a stage for self-entertainment. Someone stands up to sing a song, someone tells a joke, which often makes everyone applaud endlessly, and even attracts people from the next car.
Especially Hua Fei, who felt so relaxed that he even sang "Fu Zeng", and what came out of his mouth was a beautiful song that no one had ever heard before. Whether it was Chinese songs or English songs, the passengers were so intoxicated that it seemed that the entire carriage had become his personal concert. Even if it is unpalatable in terms of professionalism, because it is novel, the melody is more catchy, and it is in line with popular tastes, it is not enough to attract applause that exceeds the previous one.
