    Changchun, Qiqihar, Jilin, Jiamusi, Mudanjiang and other places fell one after another. More than ten divisions were defeated or even completely annihilated. This greatly stimulated the Japanese.

    As the commander of the Kwantung Army, Yamada Otsuzo was the first to bear the brunt and became the target of criticism. Even the base camp, which had always been straightforward and unwilling to express opinions, specifically called the Kwantung Army Headquarters to reprimand the Kwantung Army Headquarters for its inaction.

    General Yamada Yisan could no longer care about the accusations from the base camp at this time. He himself and all the combat staff under his command already had the most ominous premonition.

    Although the troops in South Manchuria performed pretty well, with nearly 200,000 troops being dragged along the Fengtian front line, the battle situation in Central Manchuria and North Manchuria was not very optimistic.

    First of all, in terms of Northern Manchuria, the administrative areas of the 14 provinces and 2 special cities of the Puppet Manchukuo have long lost their former glory. Except for Rehe and Hung Yen Provinces, which were previously occupied by Li Guoyao's troops, they were occupied by the Kanto  There are 12 provinces controlled by the army and the puppet Manchukuo government.

    But not long after the war began, Heihe, the capital city of Heihe Province, was captured by the Soviet army that night. Sanjiang Province and North Hung Yen Province were also captured by the Soviet army within two days. So far, three provinces have been completely captured.

    There are also 6 provinces under the absolute threat of the Chinese army, and now the nearly 900,000 troops of the Kwantung Army and the puppet Manchukuo have lost nearly 200,000.

    The most important thing is that this is only the result of less than 3 days since the war started. If calculated at this speed, the entire Kwantung Army will collapse in half a month at most. The consequences are too serious.

    Regardless of his own face and the honor of the military, General Yamada Otsuzo asked for help from the country in an almost pleading tone. He hoped that Japan could mobilize at least 100,000 reinforcements to reinforce the puppet Manchukuo area. Otherwise, it would be difficult for the Kwantung Army to launch a joint attack with China and the Soviet Union.  Let's keep Japan's money bag.

    Yes, for the Japanese, Manchuria is their money bag.

    The importance of Manchuria to Japan is self-evident. In the final analysis, the Japanese invaded China for profit. Only when driven by profit would they disregard propriety, justice and shame.

    The Northeast region is very rich in natural resources, so it has naturally become the object of competition for the Japanese. According to the resource survey report of the "State Council" of the Puppet Manchukuo in 1936, the coal reserves in the Puppet Manchukuo region are about 3 billion tons, and the iron reserves are about 40 billion tons.  billion tons.  Other minerals include gold, magnesite, bauxite, oil shale, diamond, etc. Forestry and fishery resources are also very rich.

    Most of these things cannot be produced by the barren Japan. For Japan, the Northeast region is not only their money bag, but also an important resource base for their struggle to dominate Asia and the world.

    In order to develop, or more directly, to plunder the resources of Northeast China, the Japanese worked hard. They established steel and chemical industry bases in Anshan and Benxi.  Yu Fushun and Benxi established cotton textile industry bases and established a complete industry system in the entire Puppet Manchukuo region in just a dozen years. Their ambitions were not daunting but not too big.

    At the same time, after the establishment of the Puppet Manchukuo, funds from other Japanese chaebols quickly poured into the Puppet Manchukuo.  Especially after 1937, the puppet Manchukuo adopted an economic control policy for the industrial sector and implemented the principle of "one industry, one company". A monopoly company was established in each industry.

    According to this principle, Manchuria Railway handed over its industrial departments and, after reorganization, formed the huge Concern - Manchuria Heavy Industry Co., Ltd. (Manchuye), which monopolized all the steel, coal, chemical and electric power industries in the puppet Manchukuo.  .

    In addition, the Puppet Manchuria Electric and Electric Company, the Puppet Manchuria Machinery Manufacturing Company, the Puppet Manchuria Mining Company, the Puppet Manchuria Airlines, the Puppet Manchuria Oil Company, the Puppet Manchuria Textile Company, the Puppet Manchuria Woolen Weaving Company, the Puppet Manchuria Chemical Industry Company,  There are more than 40 special companies including the Puppet Manchuria Forestry Company, the Puppet Manchuria Gold Mining Company, the Puppet Manchuria Livestock Company, the Puppet Manchuria Aquatic Products Company, the Puppet Manchuria Tobacco Company, the Puppet Manchuria Agricultural Products Commune, and the Puppet Manchuria Development Commune.

    These clubs are jointly funded by Japanese investors and the Puppet Manchukuo. When profits are made, they are shared in proportion to the shares of both parties. When losses occur, the Puppet Manchukuo government guarantees 10% of the profits for Japanese investment.

    Therefore, the Manchukuo region is a community of interests between the Japanese government and the Japanese chaebols. The Japanese chaebol¡¯s investment in Northeast China accounts for more than 80% of their overseas investment. Now that the wallets of the Japanese government and the Japanese chaebol are under threat, then  Not bad.

    It¡¯s okay that the Kwantung Army was retreating steadily. What frightened General Yamada Otsuzo the most was that there were also serious problems with the Imperial Alliance Army.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????: The Puppet Manchukuo National Defense Force¡¯s original eccentric army only had a small number of deserters at the beginning, but soon?It's not just a matter of deserters. A large number of troops have rebelled on the battlefield, and those who have not rebelled have also lost their will to fight.

    General Yamada Otozo has never believed that the Imperial Alliance Army is a reliable force, but at this time he still had illusions about the large number of Imperial Alliance Army, hoping that they would be as powerful as he expected.  , to assist the Imperial Japanese Army in defending Manchuria.

    But now, this illusion is completely shattered!

    Yamada Otsuzo was almost certain that the fighting will of the Puppet Manchukuo Army had collapsed at this time. Not only could the Imperial Japanese Army not rely on them to fight, they even had to allocate some troops to keep an eye on these Imperial Association Army troops to prevent them from stabbing them from behind.  knife.

    According to reports from the frontline troops, a large number of Imperial Army soldiers began to flee. Some of them took off their military uniforms, abandoned their weapons and equipment, and blended into the ranks of ordinary people, becoming deserters.

    Some of them took weapons and equipment and separated directly from the large army.

    Some even fled with the entire regiment and battalion, and then found a nearby hilltop to become bandits, turning from regular soldiers into bandits.

    What is even more unacceptable to the Japanese commanders on the front line is that some troops even rebelled on the battlefield during the battle and launched an attack on the Japanese army, which was really fatal.

    Although there are still some die-hard traitors who continue to fight with the Japanese army with their direct troops, the combat effectiveness of these troops cannot be praised. They often withdraw from the battlefield within an hour, and their combat effectiveness is terrible.

    The situation on the front line made General Yamada Otosan feel angry, and he was quite angry.

    "But he forgot what was the original intention of the Japanese army in forming the so-called Imperial Association Army. What they wanted was not a bloody army, but armed police who could help them rule the occupied areas.

    So when training this army, they tried their best to instill slavish thoughts, so what they cultivated was also a force full of slavishness.

    Since servility occupies the dominant ideology of this army, there is no need to mention the bloody nature. It can be said that the bloody nature of the puppet army has long been castrated by them.

    The Kwantung Army fell into an unprecedented crisis, especially when nearly 150,000 troops under Li Guoyao encircled Harbin on August 13, encircling a Japanese division plus two mixed brigades and two puppet border brigades in Harbin.  The last important town in northern Manchuria was also destroyed.

    In the southern Manchuria area, Li Guoyao's troops had captured all the towns around Fengtian. With no hope of counterattack, Yamada Otsuzo could only order the Japanese troops in Fengtian to break out late at night on the 13th.

    As a result, the breakout troops were attacked by Li Guoyao's armored troops in Fushun. The 80,000-strong army suffered more than 50,000 casualties. Only 30,000 troops fled to Tonghua. Fengtian was subsequently captured by Li Guoyao's troops.

    At this point, the four major cities of Fengtian, Xinjing, Qiqihar and Harbin in the Puppet Manchukuo were all captured by Li Guoyao, and the Japanese army could only retreat towards North Korea.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
