There are many farms on the border between the Greater Khingan Mountains and the Northeast Plains. Some Japanese came to these farms after September 18, either to cultivate fertile fields or to raise livestock for the army. They have already regarded this land as their home.

Treat the mighty army rushing out from the Greater Khingan Mountains as invaders and resist to the death.

At the forefront of the West Route Army were two armored divisions, more than 500 tanks, and a large number of artillery and wheeled vehicles. The army was large in scale and powerful.

The regular troops in several Japanese fortresses were defeated or completely annihilated one after another, unable to stop the advance of the army.

When the two armored divisions of Xiao Jiang and Jin Dayin rushed out of the mountains, they felt their eyes suddenly open and at the same time they also discovered tens of thousands of Japanese armed expatriates blocking their way.

Under the organization and command of some veterans, these expatriates dug anti-tank trenches on roads and beside farms, and used inexhaustible trees to make anti-tank tools.

Men, women, old and young took to the field together to defend their homeland to the death.

The anti-tank trenches dug by the armed expatriates were not standardized and could not stop the mighty armored divisions at all.

When all efforts failed, the Japanese began to use their dirty blood and bones to block the tanks.

The most valuable weapons in the hands of armed expatriates are rifles, and there are almost no anti-tank weapons.

But they still rushed forward with homemade explosive packs or Molotov cocktails, with unusual determination.

Some Japanese even deliberately placed the children on the farm at the front, taking the opportunity to make a sneak attack when the Chinese couldn't bear to crush them with tank tracks.

When they first came out of the Greater Khingan Mountains, the soldiers of the Armored Division were still hesitant when faced with the crazy attacks by Japanese expatriates.

But they quickly learned a bloody lesson. No matter who appeared in front, as long as they had weapons in their hands, the tanks would crush them without hesitation.

"Those who are not of my race must have different hearts!"

Soldiers have to recite it several times every day.

After overcoming the so-called defensive line of Japanese expatriates, the armored division occupied farms one after another, leading the Western Army to continuously advance towards the northeastern plains.

In some farms, soldiers often found scenes of entire families, men, women, old and young, committing suicide together.

Some men will brutally kill their wives and children before committing suicide attacks, and then fearlessly rush towards the tanks. In the end, they will either be crushed into pulp or beaten into a sieve.

These Japanese expatriates also listened to the speech delivered by their almighty Emperor, the Emperor, on the victory of the attack on Pearl Harbor.

In their view, the collapse of the empire was only temporary, and the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere would inevitably be established.

Even though they can't see it anymore, they are willing to give everything for it.

Accustomed to seeing madness and misery, the soldiers no longer had any hope for the Japanese.

These are a group of savage beasts in human skins. Only by completely eradicating them can the world be restored to peace.

It is only 200 kilometers away from Longjiang Airport. If everything goes well, it will take at most two days to arrive.

The 101st and 102nd Armored Divisions temporarily stopped their attacks before it became completely dark. The soldiers got out of the tanks and had a long-awaited hot meal.

In order to prevent the Japanese from poisoning food or river water, all food for the soldiers was air-dropped by the air force, and safety was checked again and again when fetching water.

This series of cautions are all earned by sacrifice.

The infantry troops are chasing the armored divisions in the rear, while the engineering troops are seizing the time to repair roads and railways. Everything is going on in an orderly manner.

In the evening, Zhang Shengqing, commander-in-chief of the West Route Army, took a jeep to the camp of the 101st Armored Division. Along with him was Lu Zhuoran, deputy director of the Political Department.

"Are there many Japanese expatriates we met today? Is the resistance as fierce as ever?"

Zhang Shengqing asked Xiao Jiang as soon as he saw him.

Xiao Jiang wiped his mouth, put down the empty lunch box, and replied:

"Today we defeated two infantry regiments of the Japanese army. The number of overseas Chinese who resisted to the death was much smaller than in the past few days. They must be scared. After all, their resistance is almost in vain!"

Zhang Shengqing and Lu Zhuoran also sat down by the fire. Amidst the flickering flames, their expressions looked a little serious and helpless.

“From what you reported, the resistance becomes more intense as we go to areas where Japanese expatriates gather!

It is foreseeable that there will be more organized expatriates on the plains! Remember, everything is about protecting yourself. As long as you are threatened, you can open fire without hesitation!"

Zhang Shengqing had seen so many crimes committed by the Japanese over the years that he felt no burden in giving such an order.

"Approximately how many prisoners are there currently? I see it's unclear in the report..." Lu Zhuoran asked, rubbing his heated hands.

Zhang Shengqing and Xiao Jiang looked at each other, and the former considered his answer.

"There are about 20,000 Japanese soldiers and 30,000 expatriates, including men, women, old and children!"

This is a relatively accurate number.

In order to avoid trouble, some troops simply did not take prisoners of war, and collective shootings were not uncommon.

These things can be done, but they cannot be said.

Lu Zhuoran threw a piece of wood into the fire, looked at the burning flames and said:

"There are too many prisoners of war. We have to give them food and find people to guard them. This is not good for the decisive battle of the large army, so be it."

He looked at the two of them,

"The main force in buying war bonds last time was big businessmen from all over the country. These people want to get a share of the Songhua River Operation. I think we can start with Japanese prisoners of war and expatriates!"

Xiao Jiang's eyes widened and he asked subconsciously:

"Director Lu, do you mean to give Japanese prisoners of war and expatriates to businessmen who follow the army to repay part of the war bonds?"

Lu Zhuoran nodded,

"Although we can use the prisoners of war ourselves, there will definitely be more prisoners in the future. The most important thing right now is to get rid of this big burden!

Although selling prisoners of war and foreign nationals is not a big deal...well...appropriate, as long as we don't say the word "sell", this is a good way to achieve multiple goals with one stone!"

Many Japanese expatriates come with their families. If these people fall into the hands of businessmen, the consequences can be imagined.

Xiao Jiang had received a higher education from the West, so he found it hard to accept such behavior and was speechless for a while.

Zhang Shengqing thought that the Japanese expatriates could actually be handed over to the people of the Northeast to take care of them. The people of the Northeast had been oppressed by Japan over the years and would definitely pay them back a thousand times.

But Lu Zhuoran's method can also solve part of the war bond problem to ease the financial pressure on the Administrative Committee.

The future land and important industries in Northeast China must be in the hands of the Sixth Corps. The businessmen's dream is actually impossible to realize, and it seems not impossible to give them some prisoners of war.

"What do Director Wang Liang, the Commander-in-Chief and the Chief of Staff say?"

Lu Zhuoran bared his teeth at the flames and said:

"I will report to the headquarters. You only need to hand over the person to the Political Department and the Administrative Committee!"

Zhang Shengqing had no objections and nodded in agreement.

………

Changchun!

"I was summoned by the emperor this afternoon, and he asked me some things about the war situation..." Kawashima Fangzi reported to Lu Jiuhui with a low eyebrow:

"I told him about the progress of Wang Division and the embarrassing situation faced by the Kwantung Army."

"What was his reaction?" Lu Jiu asked.

"At first I didn't believe it, because the Japanese strictly blocked information from the outside world! But I told him seriously and in detail, and he also started asking his people to inquire."

"Humph, the Japanese have just successfully attacked Pearl Harbor, and now the world is full of good news. It's normal for him to have doubts."

Lu Jiu's eyes turned cold,

"By the way, has he ever told you where he plans to go if he can't stay in Northeast China?"

"He has been the emperor for many years. It is completely different from what he imagined. As a puppet, he still has some self-awareness! If Chief Jiang does not pursue his crimes as emperor over the years, give him a chance for amnesty.

, maybe he won’t leave with the Japanese!”

"Hahaha..." Lu Jiu laughed, her stomach hurt from laughing.

"No matter who you are, you must bear the consequences if you make a mistake. This is a must! It's not easy to find someone, so do your job well!"

Kawashima Yoshiko agreed repeatedly and did not dare to refute at all.

"There are already many puppet troops on the front line, and they have provided us with a lot of intelligence. You have done well in the past few months, and Director Song has personally commended you!"

A look of surprise flashed across Kawashima Yoshiko's face, and she made a lot of promises such as swearing loyalty to the death and never betraying.

There are 20,000 to 30,000 puppet troops and police forces in Changchun, and they have been riddled with holes by the Military Intelligence Bureau.

When Changchun is surrounded, these two to thirty thousand people will become a knife in the hands of Song Li and Lu Jiu, stabbing Ueda Kenkichi out of his heart.

As long as Lu Jiu thinks about it, he can immediately cause the entire Changchun to lose power and water, shut down factories, and paralyze all transportation lines.

The power of the Military Intelligence Bureau is hidden under this black sky. It is usually as motionless as a mountain, but when necessary, it becomes an active volcano erupting.
