Age of Conquest Reborn

After the smoke has cleared, Magadan, a small city on the Sea of ​​Okhotsk, was one of the Soviet Union's important port cities in the Far East. It later became an important military port for the Japanese. Now it is as deserted as a deserted place. The residents have not yet recovered from the horror of the war.

Fortunately, the battlefield was mainly in the port and the sea, and the damage to the city was not great. The residents in the city are mainly Soviets...

The Japanese who originally immigrated from Hokkaido, Japan, fled with their families after Japan dispatched troops to the Far East in panic. Many Japanese also committed suicide by drowning themselves in the sea. It took little effort to control this ownerless city!

Lieutenant General Liu Tiehan, deputy commander of the independent division, and Major General Zhao Yuhe, chief of staff of the division and acting commander of the directly affiliated corps, commanded the troops to enter Magadan. The work of taking over the city began immediately. The Soviets, who accounted for the majority of the citizens, maintained their inherent reservations about this.

They are indifferent and dull, but there is no hostility. In the eyes of these residents, it is nothing more than a new owner of the city. They were Japanese before and now they are Chinese.

As for the Soviet Union, the motherland in the far west, it has been blurred in the memory of most residents. What they don't know is that the Soviet Union is crumbling at this moment and is already on the verge of national destruction. Hitler, the head of Germany, is sitting in Kiev, Ukraine.

Commanding millions of elite German troops, as well as more than a million soldiers from auxiliary countries, they are laying siege to Moscow, the capital of the Soviet Union, from all sides. With the continuous support of war materials from the European occupied areas, it is only a matter of time before the German army captures Moscow.

The residents of the urban area of ​​Magadan seemed to be very cooperative with the takeover of the Chinese ** troops, but what made Liu Tiehan and Zhao Yuhe scratch their heads was that when the Japanese Far East Expeditionary Force fled, more than 80,000 wounded soldiers were abandoned.

With Magadan Port as the center, a radius of more than ten kilometers became an open-air parking place for wounded soldiers. There were no wailings, only Japanese soldiers numbly waiting for death.

Speaking of which, the wounded soldiers of the Japanese Far East Expeditionary Force who were abandoned by Prince Zain were in a miserable situation. Those who could still walk on their own struggled to climb onto the fishing boat. The rest were all injured and unable to move.

The soldiers had no choice but to lie in the cold open air in Magadan in October. There was no medicine, no treatment, no food and no drinking water.

The residents of Magadan were not polite. Before the arrival of the independent division, the Japanese Far East Expeditionary Force and the previous Japanese Magadan garrison soldiers had already fled. The city was in a vacuum stage for several days, and the residents came out in groups.

You're welcome

All the belongings of the wounded Japanese soldiers were looted. From the bottom of their hearts, the residents did not like the fate of the Japanese soldiers. During the Japanese occupation, the Soviets in Magadan were third-class citizens and had the opportunity to vent their inner anger.

Of course you won’t miss it.

Two days later, the work of taking over Magadan was successfully concluded. Under the chairmanship of Liu Tiehan, the Far East Campaign Command held a military meeting in the building of the former Japanese Magadan Garrison Headquarters. The participants were the East Point Forces and

More than a hundred people, including the brigade commanders and brigade chiefs of staff of the corps directly under the corps, packed the huge conference room to capacity. This was also the first time for senior commanders of the East Point and the corps directly under the corps to meet.

The theme of the meeting was to study how to deal with the more than 80,000 Japanese wounded soldiers. Liu Tiehan got straight to the point and said: "The Far East Campaign has ended. The purpose of bringing everyone together today is to study how to deal with these more than 80,000 Japanese wounded soldiers.

question at the beginning of the meeting

Earlier, I listened to a report from the director of the East Finger Field Hospital. After preliminary inspection, it was found that more than 80,000 wounded Japanese soldiers were lying in the open air in Magadan without food, drink or treatment for several days. More than 20,000 of them died.

There are still more than 50,000 left, and everyone is open to talk about how to deal with it."

Major General Zhao Yi, commander of the 1st Brigade of the East Point, suddenly stood up and said in a loud voice: "Deputy Commander, what else is there to study here? Isn't it just that there are more than 50,000 wounded soldiers left by the Japs? Leave them to our first

Let's take care of it in one brigade and keep it clean and tidy.

Magadan is close to the sea. Let alone 50,000, even 500,000 can be easily dealt with. Just throw it into the sea without wasting bullets. If you can return to their hometown alive, it is considered picking. The old rule of our independent division is not to leave any

The little devil’s prisoner!”

This senior general from the former Northeastern Army had never had a good impression of the Japanese. Moreover, when he was in the Northeastern Army, he was the battalion commander. On the day of the September 18th Incident, his brothers in the same battalion died.

A few people came down, and later retreated all the way from the Northeast to the Northwest. The hardships and humiliation during the period were unforgettable. His consistent opinion when dealing with the Japanese was, "Kill them all until they are all alive!"

Liu Tiehan was speechless. Zhao Yuhe couldn't help but frown slightly. He disagreed with Zhao Yi's approach of dealing with more than 50,000 Japanese prisoners of war at one time. It was appalling. From the beginning to the end of the Far East Campaign, the East Point and directly affiliated corps troops,

There were more than 40,000 Japanese prisoners of war captured one after another, and the total number reached about 100,000. He had to deal with them all. From the bottom of his heart, he couldn't do it.

What's more, the division commander has changed this usual practice. In the battlefields of Western Liaoning and Western Manchuria, there were hundreds of thousands of prisoners and surrendered Kwantung Army soldiers, and none of them were killed. They were all escorted to Kulun in Outer Mongolia.

prisoner of war camp, but Zhao Yi was the brigade commander of the East Point, and with Liu Tiehan there, it was difficult for Zhao Yuhe to refute and criticize immediately.

Liu Tiehan's emotions are more complicated. If he kills all the Japanese, he will not understand Hen'er. It hurts deeply. However, as one of the senior leaders of the independent division, he must consider the problem from a higher perspective and cannot ignore it.

Seeing the impact, he said, "Well, Brigadier Zhao has put forward his opinions on how to deal with it. Does anyone else have any opinions?" He continued to ask without commenting on Zhao Yi's proposal.

Major General Liu Hongzhang, commander of the 1st Brigade of the Directly Affiliated Corps, then stood up and said: "I agree with Brigadier Zhao's opinion. It's useless to leave these bastards behind. They also waste our food and distract us from our custody. Isn't that right?

From these small

Among the wounded soldiers of the Japanese, some with relatively minor injuries who could walk on their own after simple treatment were selected and escorted to the prisoner-of-war camp in Kulun, Outer Mongolia. Although we were on the battlefield in the Far East and did not kill many young Japanese, we still had to send some prisoners.

!”

"There were several major battles in the Northeast battlefield, but hundreds of thousands of Kwantung troops were captured. We can't live without a single prisoner. We don't waste any time or medicine on the rest, and throw them all into the sea to feed the sharks!"

Zhao Yi laughed happily, stretched out his thumb and said: "Commander Liu, you really have a better plan. I admire you!" Liu Hongzhang sat down with a proud look on his face.

In the subsequent speeches, the brigade commanders all agreed with Liu Hongzhang's suggestions. Liu Tiehan looked at Zhao Yuhe and looked at each other. They all felt that it would be meaningless to continue this meeting. The suggestions of the brigade commanders were incompatible with

The original intentions of the two people are very different.

Liu Tiehan changed the subject and said: "Okay, let's stop the discussion on the issue of prisoners of war for the time being. We will make a decision after I discuss it with Chief of Staff Zhao. Next, I will announce an order to direct the 1st Brigade to the 8th Brigade eastward.

All, immediately start from Magadan, march eastward, occupy the vast area east of the Kamchatka Peninsula and up to the Bering Strait, eliminate all Japanese garrison troops, and assist local work groups to establish local political power!"

After the meeting, Liu Tiehan and Zhao Yuhe returned to the office. They were still at a loss as to how to deal with the remaining more than 50,000 Japanese wounded soldiers. Chief of Staff Yang Ketian of the East Point and Acting Chief of Staff of the Directly Affiliated Corps Wu Zhenmin also returned.

A few people sat down. Yang Ketian looked at Liu Tiehan and said, "Deputy division commander, chief of staff, I have a suggestion on how to deal with Japanese wounded soldiers!"

Liu Tiehan looked him up and down and said with a smile: "Oh! Then tell me, if it is similar to what was said in the meeting just now, don't waste my time!"

Yang Ketian didn't care and said: "My suggestion was inspired by the division commander. These more than 50,000 Japanese wounded soldiers are valuable goods. According to Brigadier Liu Hongzhang, a group of prisoners who can move on their own will be selected and escorted to

For the rest of the prisoner-of-war camp in Kulun, Outer Mongolia, let the Japanese spend money to redeem it, and the price will be calculated on a per-capita basis. As for the price, the two officers will confirm it!"

"You pay with one hand and deliver the goods with the other hand. Gold, silver, machinery and equipment are all coming. Anyway, the reconstruction of Magadan and the Kamchatka Peninsula after the war requires a large amount of funds. If the Japanese are not allowed to bleed, who else can we turn to? From the Japanese."

The teacher has done a lot of work in squeezing out the oil and water!"

Liu Tiehan and Zhao Yuhe were greatly surprised. They felt suddenly enlightened. Yang Ketian's method was definitely a profitable business. "You, you don't see it at ordinary times, but you have some potential as a profiteer! The method is brilliant. Anyway, these Japanese soldiers

Wounded soldiers left in our hands are also a big trouble!" Liu Tiehan joked with a smile.

Zhao Yuhe also nodded repeatedly. Wu Zhenmin, who had been silent all the time, had an instinctive aversion to Yang Ketian's suggestion. He felt that it would damage the military power of the independent division, so he poured cold water on it: "Chief of Staff Yang's suggestion is feasible, but if

The Japanese refused to negotiate with us, so what about redeeming these wounded soldiers?"

Yang Ketian smiled slyly and said: "The Japanese don't want to bleed, so it's up to them. We can fully create public opinion and publicize this matter in a big way. Of course, we can't expose the redemption matter and just say that we are teachers of benevolence and righteousness."

, are willing to return the Japanese wounded soldiers. As far as I know, a large number of reporters are gathering at the Jinzhou Division to hype this up. Under the pressure of public opinion, do the little Japanese have any choice?"

"If the Japanese really refuse, wouldn't it chill people's hearts? Also, it would be a good thing if these wounded soldiers are really bought back by the Japanese. Each one of them is missing an arm or a leg.

A useless person who can't do anything and has to rely on others to support him, isn't that a big burden for the Japanese to send back?"

"Hahaha!" Liu Tiehan laughed heartily and said: "Sure! Let's do it like this, Ketian, you..., you are responsible for this matter. Contact the teacher immediately and wait for the settlement.

Money!"
