Anti-Japanese War: Starting from Yaobai

The fall of Northeast China caused huge losses, starting with the Northeast Army's arsenal.

At that time, Fengtian Arsenal was the most advanced and largest arsenal in China. It could produce 150 cannons, 20 shells, 6 rifles, and 18000 million bullets a year. In addition, it could produce more than 1000 heavy weapon machine guns.

Moreover, the arsenal can produce 80 mortars and 4 shells a month.

It's a pity that because many senior officers misjudged their actions at that time, all these arsenals and weapons fell into the hands of the Japanese.

In addition, the Northeast Army Air Force at that time was also very powerful, with more than 400 combat aircraft of various types.

At that time, the total number of aircraft in China was only about 320, while the Northeast Army had more than 400 aircraft.

And some of these aircraft are the latest model fighters purchased from abroad.

It's a pity that these fighters did not play their role on the battlefield, but became a weapon for the Japanese army to march into North China.

In addition, at that time, the Northeast Army also had a powerful naval formation, with 21 warships of various types, and was known as the third fleet of the Chinese Navy.

However, the Third Fleet was not completely captured by the Japanese army, but most of them went south to Guangzhou to form a new fleet.

Moreover, the Northeast Army also had a relatively mature tank unit at that time.

Most of them are equipped with French Renault FT17 tanks, and there are also M1917 tanks produced by the United States. The armor capabilities and thickness of these tanks far exceed those of the Japanese Type 92 tanks, but it is also a pity that these eventually fell into the hands of Japan. human hands.

It can be said that the fall of Northeast China was the biggest failure in the international situation at that time.

Of course, these are all on the surface, as well as the minerals in the Northeast and the materials, cash, etc. left by the Northeast Army, which are countless.

And especially various minerals are important targets for Japanese plunder.

For example, the iron mines in Lushunkou and the coal mines in Hulan County are important plunder targets for the little devils.

So after seeing the granary of the Japs in Hulan County, Duanwu and the Japs of Kira headed to the mine outside the city.

The Kira Japs brought two squads of guards and two platoons of puppet troops.

Colonel Kira said: Although the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Forces suffered heavy losses in the previous Iron Barrel Plan, there are still some remaining rebels operating in the wild mountains. So in order to ensure the safety of the Dragon Boat Festival, he brought more people with him.

Duanwu was sitting in the car, turning his head slightly to look at the Japs riding in the car in front of him and behind him, and thought to himself: "It seems that this good guerrilla in Chunjiang still has good combat effectiveness, otherwise Ji Liang would not be so careful."

But the journey was peaceful and there was no ambush.

Kira flattered him and said, "These rebels knew how powerful Sato-kun was, so they hid."

But Dragon Boat Festival doesn't think so. If it were him, he wouldn't stay in the wilderness every day.

Of course, if he had no choice and no source of intelligence, he would choose to wait and wait.

Although this method is silly, I have to say that it is indeed a method.

But obviously Chunjiang's good guerrillas don't need this. They at least have spies in Hulan County, otherwise they wouldn't have come to Gao Yanan's door just after the Dragon Boat Festival arrived.

So Duanwu concluded that an ambush should happen on their way back.

When they leave the city, the Anti-League's informants will immediately report to the Anti-League, and after receiving the news, the Anti-League will choose the best place to ambush.

So the way back may not be smooth, and Duanwu doesn’t want to go back. Because he felt that things in Dalian might not be able to be dealt with, and sooner or later someone would come looking for him. Then it would be better to fake his own death again and let Hideo Sato become a mystery. ···············

At the same time in Dalian, Jiang Mulingzi found a clue. Sato Hideo and his wife and servant actually boarded the train to Hulan County.

Although so far, the murder case in the laboratory has not been confirmed to be related to Hideo Sato, Jiang Mulingzi brought Yamamoto Twenty-One. And with this person who knows Hideo Sato here, it will be clear at a glance whether Hideo Sato is true or false.

So after receiving the news that Dragon Boat Festival went to Hulan County, Jiang Mulingzi immediately led people to Hulan County.

Instead of taking a train, they drove two cars and arrived in Hulan County in about an hour.

But at this moment, Danwu and Ji Liang had already arrived at the mine.

The coal mine is located in a mountain valley surrounded by steep peaks and dense forests.

The col is very large, covering an area of ​​at least dozens of acres. It faces north and south. On one side of the col is a large coal pile. Although trucks transport the coal away every day, due to the accelerated plundering of the Japanese, it has been mined. The coal coming out is still piling up more and more.

On the other side, there are the living areas of the little devils and rows of miners' dormitories.

Since there are hundreds of people living in the mine, including about 600 Japanese, puppet soldiers and miners, the entire mine complex is like a small town.

On the south side of the mine, under a hill that is not too high, there are sloping mine holes.

At the entrance of the mine are minecarts made of wood.

The top of the minecart is empty, and they are lined up waiting for the minecart below to come up.

Workers with sallow faces and skinny muscles rested on the mine carts, while puppet soldiers holding whips on the left and right sides kept shouting at the workers in the mine to quickly push up the mine carts loaded with coal.

The Japanese in the distance were also shouting and cursing, not caring about the tired and panting miners.

They were all caught in the mines and said to be paid, but after working for several months or even half a year, no one received a penny, and many people died.

The dead people were either thrown behind the mountain by the Japanese, or they dug a big pit and threw everyone into it.

Some people were even thrown into pits and left to fend for themselves before they died.

The Japanese are not so kind and even ask a doctor to treat you. Sickness in the mines was a death.

"Cough cough!"

At this time, a worker who had just left the mine coughed violently, and after a moment he coughed up a mouthful of blood with black dust.

This is pneumoconiosis, a common disease among many coal miners.

But he did not dare to be discovered, because if the Japanese knew that he had lost the ability to work, even if they did not kill him, they would reduce his food supply, or even stop supplying him, waiting for him to starve to death.

When the miners around him saw their co-workers coughing up blood, they quickly pushed the mine cart harder to protect their co-workers from being discovered.

Otherwise, they all know that once the little devils find out that someone has pneumoconiosis, they will definitely reduce the other party's food supply until the other party becomes weak and dies.

They have seen this kind of thing a lot, so when they find that someone around them is sick, they will cover each other until they can no longer cover each other, and the other person lies down and is dragged away by the little devil.

Of course, the little devil would never say to throw them down the mountain or into a mass grave, but would say to take them for treatment.

But this is a complete lie, and only a fool would believe it!
