Part 3: Bloody War of Resistance, Chapter 11: Chaotianque, Section 6: Breakthrough (7)

The wheels of the Far East battlefield ended in the golden autumn of 1944. China and the Soviet Union deployed troops and confronted each other. After a tense confrontation, with the statement of TASS, the dark clouds of the war disappeared. Stalin vented his anger on Japan and Germany after China hit a wall. The Soviet army launched a fierce attack on Germany, pushing the front line into Poland in one fell swoop. {《》 }(_》)

In the Far East, the Soviet army launched a fierce attack on Vladivostok, which was defending by the Japanese army. More than 10,000 Japanese troops launched a tenacious defense with the support of the navy. The Soviet army suffered heavy casualties. Stalin was furious but had no choice but to do anything. The Soviet army lacked fighter jets and bombers in the Far East and could not threaten the Japanese navy at sea. However, in early September, the Japanese army suddenly retreated from the sea and gave up Vladivostok, which had been held for three weeks.

On the Korean battlefield, the Chinese team moved to rest and recuperate. The two elite main forces of the Chinese team, the Fifth Army and the First Mechanized Army, remained in Harbin and Changchun. The 24th Army and the 23rd Army entered Xing'an Province. The 22nd Army went south to Liaoning. In the entire territory of the Northeast, only Lushun was left. Zhuang Jihua seemed to have no intention of attacking. He transferred the entire 51st Army back, let Xia Yanglin trap him and then left. He transferred the 53rd Army back to Shenyang and served as the Shenyang garrison.

Zhou Enlai negotiated with the Kuomintang in Chongqing before TASS and took back the chairman of Heihe Province, Chen G served as commander of the Northeast Field Army, Luo Ronghuan served as political commissar, and Gao Gang served as chairman of Heihe Province.

After the TASS statement, Chiang Kai-shek exclaimed that he was deceived, but this time Zhuang Jihua obviously didn't know, but Chiang Kai-shek's suspicion of Zhuang Jihua still did not ease.

At the end of August, Yu Jishi, who remained in North China due to illness, recovered from illness. Chiang Kai-shek reappointed him as deputy commander of the Northeast War Zone. At the same time, he adjusted the personnel of the Northeast War Zone, abolished He Zhuguo's deputy commander of the Northeast War Zone, and abolished Sun Zhen's deputy commander of the Northeast War Zone, and appointed Yu Jishi, Yang Sen and Du Yuming as deputy commander of the Northeast War Zone, formed the North Korean Front, and appointed Du Yuming as commander of the North Korean Front, and Sun Zhen as deputy commander of the North Korean Front. The North Korean Front was under the jurisdiction of the Northeast War Zone.

After the revival of the Northeast, a large number of puppet Manchukuo Defense Forces, anyway, the New 11th Army went south, causing a large number of Northeast soldiers in the army to flee, and most of these soldiers joined the **. At the same time, the National Government began negotiations with the Soviet Union and demanded that the other side return more than 200,000 prisoners of the Puppet Manchukuo Defense Forces.

In the 13th year of the fall of the Northeast, a large number of Northeast people joined the puppet Manchukuo and the puppet Manchukuo Defense Forces. Zhuang Jihua reported to the National Government and demanded an amnesty order to announce a general amnesty order, and all officers and soldiers below the regiment and ordinary government staff were pardoned, and officers above the regiment and government officials above the county and government officials above the regiment were identified. Those without blood debts could be pardoned, and those with blood debts were dealt with depending on the investigation.

These two measures quickly stabilized the hearts of the people in the Northeast, especially the special amnesty of the Puppet Manchukuo Defense Army soldiers and the request of the Soviet Union to repatriate prisoners of war. It won the hearts of the people in the Northeast. More than half of the families in the Northeast had relatives serving in the Puppet Manchukuo Defense Army. This was absolved of their worries and the prestige of the National Government rose rapidly.

The amnesty also shocked the Nanjing puppet government. A large number of low-level officials and ordinary soldiers of the puppet government leaned towards Chongqing, and senior officials also secretly communicated with each other. The Japanese army's every move was quickly fed back to Xue Yue's theater command.

With the restoration of the Northeast, the Northeast Air Force began to move south in large numbers, and only two fighter brigades and two bomber brigades in the entire Northeast were retained to support the North Korean Front’s operations.

The Far East War is now described by reporters as a sit-in war. Du Yuming conquered cities along the river such as Shinyiju, a major town on the North Korean border in early September, and after entering North Korea for more than ten kilometers, he stopped moving forward and began to build fortifications on the spot to confront the Japanese army.

After stabilizing the people in the Northeast, Zhuang Jihua began to reorganize troops on a large scale. This reorganization was mainly to reorganize the Puppet Manchukuo Defense Forces. More than 100,000 Puppet Manchukuo Defense Forces were divided into part by the 51st and 53rd Army. Zhuang Jihua expanded the two armies into the 53rd and 54th Army, and promoted Lu Ruishan and Xia Yanglin to the commanders of the army, and split the 49th Army into two armies, the 49th Army and the 55th Army. The 49th Army is still under the command of the 101, 102th and the Second Cavalry Army. The 55th Army is commanded by Zhang Lingfu and mainly the 103th Army, and has expanded two armies, the 103th Army and the new 90th Army.

After reorganization, the Northeast War Zone's troops surged, and the entire war zone plus the Korean Front had a total strength of about 1.6 million. During the period, Du Yuming led the First Army, Second Army, Twenty-Three Army, Third Army and other troops, with about 400,000 troops in Korea and confronted the Japanese army.

In the Sino-North Korea border area, in the southern part of Liaoning, the 22nd Army; in the southern part of Jilin, there are the New First Army and the 112th Army, and these 200,000 troops can enter North Korea to reinforce at any time; on the northern line, the Sino-Soviet border area, the New 11th Army, the New Eighth Army, the New Sixth Army and the Fifth Army are stationed in this area, the First Mechanized Army is stationed at the junction of Jilin and Heilongjiang, and the Fifth Army is stationed south of Changchun, the Fifty-first Army, the Fifty-two Army and the Fifty-two Army are stationed in the extremely north of Jinzhou, western Liaoning.

The Forty-Nine Army was stationed at the junction of Liao and Ji, and Zhang Lingfu led the 55th Army to reorganize in the Tonghua area. Zhuang Jihua clearly told him that he would only give him three months, and that in three months he would see a brave and warlike 55th Army.

Among the three reorganized armies, Zhuang Jihua did not take it alone. Zhuang Jihua basically ignored the reorganization of Xia Yanglin and Lu Ruishan. Except for the equipment that was temporarily in place, they had to report everything else by themselves. Zhuang Jihua directly interfered in personnel affairs for Zhang Lingfu's reorganization. He transferred a large number of cadres from the former 49th Army and the 51st Army. These cadres occupied first-level positions in the brigade, thus achieving the goal of controlling the entire army.

From the perspective of the entire strategic layout, the Northeast War Zone actually moved into strategic defense, and the heavy troops were not pressing on North Korea but on the Sino-Soviet border, and regarded the Soviet Union as the biggest threat.

The war in the Northeast War Zone gradually calmed down. In mid-August, Chiang Kai-shek finally approved the plan for the six northeastern provinces jointly reported by Zhuang Jihua Xiong Shihui and the personnel list.

Zhuang Jihua and Xiong Shihui held a joint meeting of the presidents of the five northeastern provinces (no Heihe Province) in Shenyang in early September, the Minister of Civil Affairs and the Minister of Police. At this meeting, Zhuang Jihua snatched the main players and squeezed Xiong Shihui aside and dominated the entire meeting.

"The Japanese army retreated, blowing up Northeast railways and highways, and destroying 70% of the factory enterprises in Northeast China, especially in Anshan, Shenyang, Changchun. Experts from the Anshan Iron and Steel Plant Working Group believe that the entire steel plant will take one year to repair, and the Shenyang Arsenal will take at least six months.

During this period, factory workers had to eat, and their families had to eat, and they had to have wages to eat, but they had no jobs, so how could they have money to eat?

To this end, we must take all measures to promote employment and encourage landlords and industrialists to run factories. To achieve this goal, we must first reduce taxes and reduce corporate taxes. I mean that new factories are exempted from all taxes within three years; old factories are exempt from taxes for one year, which means that in the next year, our finances will be very difficult. Don’t rely on the central government. The central government’s finances are also tense and cannot afford much money.

In rural areas, we must also implement rent reduction and interest reduction. We will win the War of Resistance Against Japan. In this victory, the soldiers on the front line can only get half of the credit, and the other half must be recorded on the people in the rear. Without them, they are hungry, but they send the food to the troops; they are ragged, but they hand over the cloth to the government;

Why do they do this? It is because we have implemented rent reductions and interest rates, which have helped them reduce the burden. They are grateful to the government, so they support us.

The situation in the Northeast is quite special. More than half of the farmers in the Northeast have land, but it doesn’t need to reduce rent and interest rates? No, absolutely not. The land rent in the Northeast is still very high, and 70% of the land rent is insatiable and must be reduced.

The solution is still the old method. The provincial government organizes a rural working team and the army sends troops to protect it. There are serious bandits in the Northeast. Some of these bandits have always been bandits. During the Zhang Xueliang period and the Japanese period, they have always fought Zhang Xueliang, the Japanese, and some were fleeing puppet Manchukuo National Defense Forces.

For bandits, the government's policy is to use both suppression and pacification. First, three months will be given. If you go down the mountain within three months, the government will be incorporated and pardoned. After three months, it will still be stubborn and resolutely wiped out. The Northeast War Zone Command will establish a bandit suppression command center, with me as the commander-in-chief.

In the northeast, the Japanese left many factories and mines, and all of these properties must be confiscated, and they must be auctioned as soon as possible and auctioned publicly. Those business people who were forced to cooperate with the Japanese during the fall must be screened, and their assets are not allowed to be easily seized and personnel are arrested. All those who want to arrest and seize assets must be reported to the War Zone Command for approval."

Speaking of this, Zhuang Jihua's voice suddenly became stern, and his eyes were fiercely staring at the people below: "I know that there are huge benefits here, and there are many wealthy families in the Northeast. Just a few companies can get a lot of money. People with such thoughts should be better off putting their minds down, otherwise don't blame me for being rude! It's easy to cut a few heads!"

When Zhuang Jihua said this, he did not consider Xiong Shihui's feelings at all. Most of the people below did not seem to think anything was wrong, except for Jia Nairu, chairman of Jilin Province who Xiong Shihui personally chose.

"All people who are designated as traitors shall be reported to the War Zone Command on the list. Without the approval of the War Zone Command, no one is allowed to arrest people, let alone seize assets."

"Oppose!" Jia Nairu finally couldn't help but stand up and shouted loudly. His face turned red and his eyes widened: "Commander Zhuang, Chairman of the Communist Party of China has a clear instruction. The theater command will only take charge of military operations, and the civil affairs will be managed by the Northeast Headquarters. General Zhuang's move is over the business and uses military personnel to interfere in civil affairs and disrupt national laws!"

Zhuang Jihua looked at Jia Nairu coldly, and Jia Nairu stared at Zhuang Jihua toughly. The atmosphere in the venue suddenly became tense. Xiong Shihui looked at Zhuang Jihua and Jia Nairu with a little uneasy.
