1932: Playing with the Japanese Communist Party with a doll

The division of land and fields goes without saying. The event that had the greatest impact on his troops was precisely the incident where Fujiwara no Kanezane publicly beheaded Suzuki Mitsuhiro and other Japanese officers and soldiers, as well as unscrupulous coal merchants from various places!

You know, most of Wang Delin's troops were miners who couldn't bear the oppression and rose up in resistance!

There were over 1500 miners from the Laotougou Coal Mine in Yanji County who joined the army!

Originally, these people hated the Japanese, but when they found out that there was actually a Japanese who was willing to stand up for them, improve their working environment, and increase their wages, what would they think?

Huh?

The Japanese, it seems, aren't that bad! It seems only some of them are bad, right?

It is not only Japanese supervisors who bully Chinese miners. In most cases, Chinese people bully Chinese people.

As more news gradually came in, the morale of the army was shaken.

More and more people quietly laid down their weapons, fled the "Chinese National Salvation Army", returned to their hometowns to farm, or even joined the "puppet army".

By today, the counties they originally occupied, such as Dunhua, Hailin, and Ning'an, had long been lost due to insufficient strength, and the total number of troops had dropped to more than 1000 people in two brigades.

Now, these more than a thousand "die-hards" have reached their limit. Not their physical limit, but their mental limit.

Everyone was becoming increasingly confused, and they no longer knew why they were fighting the Japanese. Was it to prevent Chinese people from being killed?

But the Japanese have stopped killing people!

To make the Chinese people live a good life?

But the Chinese people on the other side live better than us! In order to drive out the "aliens"?

But...but...what was the purpose of driving out the "foreigners"? That's why Wang Delin said that Fujiwara no Kanezane's methods were extraordinary.

Attacking the heart is the most terrifying tactic.

Originally, Wang Delin and Li Yanlu also held the firm belief that "there is no safety without sacrifice, and there is no way to survive without struggle." However, as theories such as the "Three Represents" and more deeds came to light, they began to waver.

Is this really Japanese?

The arrogant, unreasonable and short-sighted Japanese?

Once, when troops went to a village near Hailin to collect grain, they were met with strong resistance from the villagers, who even scolded them, saying, "The government doesn't even collect so much grain from us." Wang Delin returned and couldn't help but complain to Li Yanlu:

"...Why don't you Communists have such a theory? Why don't our own people support us?"

"Well... the theory is developing slowly, and we are also exploring..."

"So, do you think the Three Represents are correct? Who really represents the interests of the people?"

Li Yanlu had no way to answer.

Deep down, he felt that this theory was absolutely correct, but he couldn't express his opinion publicly!

If even the top leadership is like this, let alone the people below them.

As the two looked at each other, struggling to discuss future strategies and paths, the guard brought someone in:

"Commander! Chief of Staff!"

"Hmm? What's going on... is it you??"

Wang Delin looked at the newcomer in surprise - a regiment commander who was once highly respected by him.

Once upon a time, it meant...

"Didn't you leave a letter and run away? Why are you back again?"

Wang Delin looked at the neat puppet army uniform on the other person, his eyes narrowed, and his hand unconsciously touched his gun:

"You're joining the puppet army?!"

But Li Yanlu stopped Wang Delin because he discovered a very bad sign:

It was such a long way from the front line to the rear, and they let an "enemy soldier" in without any report...

Even though they were not carrying weapons and even though they were former comrades-in-arms, the morale of the army was probably not shaken, but had already "collapsed".

"Xiao Lin, what did they send you here for? Do they want us to surrender? If so, please go back!"

"No...no, Si...Commander Wang, Political Commissar Li."

Facing the gazes of his two former superiors, the "Team Leader" flinched, then stood up straight and said as the professor had said:

"I've been ordered to deliver food and other supplies to your unit to prevent a humanitarian crisis!"

"Human...what humanitarian crisis?" "Humanitarian crisis!" The former leader stood up straighter.

"Captain Zhao said we can die in battle, but the elderly, weak, women, and children behind you can't starve or freeze to death! So he asked me to send you 2000 kilograms of rice, 100 kilograms of pork, and cotton clothes! It's right in the middle of the position, please accept it!"

"Oh! Oh, by the way, Captain Zhao also said that if you have wounded soldiers who need medicine, we can provide it and help you transfer them to the hospital for treatment!"

Wang and Li were stunned.

We are... at war, right?

It's fine if the two sides don't fire at each other and just sit in the trenches and engage in this speechless "pork stewed with vermicelli attack", but they actually aid the enemy???

"Are you crazy?"

"No! Captain Zhao said he likes people like you who are brave enough to fight to the end! Warriors deserve his respect and protection!"

"The commander also said he doesn't recommend you continue fighting with us. If you want to leave, you can lay down your weapons and leave at any time! Our regiment will ensure everyone's safety!"

After being questioned, the former head of the National Salvation Army left. "Their management and requirements are stricter than ours, and they're certainly better at treating the people than we are..." Wang Delin said with a wry smile, looking at the chief of staff.

"What the hell is going on..."

At this point, he completely understood that he could not continue this battle.

Li Yanlu remained silent. After a while, he made a decision:

"Commander, hand over all the wounded, the elderly, children, women and children to me, and you lead the troops to retreat into Soviet territory."

"Uh...what are you doing?"

"I'll take them to the 386th Brigade to surrender..." "No! This might be..."

"Regardless of whether it's a trap or not, we can't fight any further. Instead of this, we might as well take a gamble. If they dare to kill us, you spread the word and return with your troops to avenge us!"

Li Yanlu straightened his dirty military cap and said seriously:

"If I die, remember to tell my brother and everyone else that as long as we lose enough heads, our descendants won't have to lose heads anymore! Let the Japanese and the whole world know that there are still countless brave people in China who are not afraid of death!"

According to Japanese and Manchukuo newspaper reports:

On January 18, 1933, the Northeast People's National Salvation Army in the Hailar region lost positions in Fulaerji, Zhalantun, and other areas in just three days under the powerful "offensive" of a unit of the 386th Brigade. Su Bingwen led the remaining troops to retreat into Soviet territory.

On January 20, 1933, the "Liaoning People's Self-Defense Force" in Tonghua collapsed completely. A unit of the 386th Brigade recaptured the entire area of ​​Tonghua without firing a single shot, receiving a heartfelt welcome from the people. Commander Tang Juwu disbanded his troops and fled to the interior of China alone.

On January 25, 1933, the Northeast People's Self-Defense Army in Dandong lost its fighting spirit. Commander Deng Tiemei and Political Commissar Zou Dapeng surrendered with their entire army after negotiations and accepted the reorganization of the 386th Brigade.

On January 29, 1933, the "Chinese National Salvation Army" in Hailin area wavered. Political Commissar Li Yanlu surrendered with the elderly, children, women, disabled and sick soldiers, and Wang Delin led his troops to retreat into Soviet territory.

However, Vytautas Putner, commander of the Soviet Far Eastern Special Army's Primorsky Group, ordered the secret arrest of all members of the unit and secretly sent them back to Manchukuo.

Because he was worried that the Japanese would use this as an excuse to invade, he betrayed Wang Delin without hesitation...

No matter how they were "eliminated", in short, at the turn of the old and new lunar years, except for the troops of Ma Zhanshan and Li Du who were always wandering around the Sino-Soviet border, the "bandit" rebellion in the Northeast had been basically put down.

The "Tetera Offensive" was a huge success.

On February 8, the day before the Lantern Festival, a cavalry team of about 1500 people entered the city gate of Shenyang under the enthusiastic gaze of the crowd.

The leader was Fujiwara no Kanezane.

432 Why not cry together as one family?

"Breaking news! Breaking news! His Majesty Hachiman-no-Miya led his army on an expedition to the grasslands and returned with a great victory!" "Breaking news! Breaking news! The Osaka Division Cavalry Battalion and the Tongliao Cavalry Brigade accompanied the army on the expedition and made great contributions!"

"Little John killed King Kang in battle! Little Ivan killed King Ah in battle! Tian Weiyang captured King Yun alive! Sato Saburo killed…"

After confirming that Fujiwara no Kanezane had entered Northeast China and everything was safe, the Northeast authorities finally announced this shocking news to all of China, Japan, and even the world:

The commander of the army that went on an expedition to the grasslands during the New Year's Day and Spring Festival, defeated the Mongols who were in a dilemma, chopped off thousands of heads, and played a trick on the Chinese Communist cavalry was Prince Hachimangu Kanezane.

"Your Highness!"

"Your Highness is mighty!" "Your Highness is victorious!"

Although Fujiwara no Kanezane hated grand ceremonies and the heavy snow made the roads extremely slippery and difficult to walk on, the people of Shenyang who heard the news still spontaneously flocked to the city gate to observe this cavalry unit that had achieved incredible results.

Although this battle was far less just than the previous "counterattack against the National Army's Northeastern Counteroffensive" and even "lost" in a sense, it still greatly inspired and consolidated the morale of the people in the Northeast.

The superior who leads the charge is already respected enough, and winning again and again will make people follow him without a second thought. Who doesn't like a hero who can bring them glory?

If this hero is also willing to devote some energy to taking care of the grassroots and bringing benefits to himself, then he will become a perfect god-king and saint.

"Happy New Year, everyone! Happy New Year, everyone!"

Fujiwara no Kanezane, who was covered in dirt, immediately bowed to the crowd of people with a smile on his face, being extremely friendly.

This was the first time for many Shenyang residents to see the legendary "King of the Northeast" up close. They discovered that this was a tall, strong, and affable young man.

How could this person be a Japanese? If no one told me, I would have thought he was Chinese, or even no different from the neighbor's little son!

It's just that the smell on your body is a bit strong.

Seeing that the crowd of onlookers was growing larger and larger, almost blocking the main road, and the pressure on the security forces was increasing, Fujiwara Kanezane had no choice but to wave his hand and shouted loudly:

"Everyone! Everyone! Please listen to me! ! ! "

The scene gradually quieted down. Fujiwara Kanezane then pointed at himself, and then at the cavalrymen behind him who were just as slovenly as he was.

"I appreciate your kindness! But as you can see, they're all very tired after fighting for such a long time. I gave them a month's vacation. You can't let me go back on my word, right?"

To be honest, Fujiwara no Kanezane was also very tired, but he was young after all, and he had UMP40 to take care of him along the way, so his physical condition was much better than that of his cavalry.

what...

The people who wanted to watch the fun only then noticed that the cavalrymen were not in good condition. Some of them even couldn't help but doze off on their horses. Fujiwara no Kanezane also looked tired and his eyes were bloodshot.

Only then did the common people remember that this heroic army before them had been fighting in the freezing cold for nearly two months and had traveled thousands of kilometers without a rest.

According to news reports, the army had 1600 people before it set out, but only less than 1500 people returned. More than 100 people died on the way, and some people's bodies could not be brought back.

Fujiwara no Kanezane did not deliberately tidy up the appearance of his troops. It can even be said that he deliberately wanted to show his hard work to the people.

What he wants is not an army that only knows how to kill people, nor a group of fools who only know how to cheer for victory.

Someone couldn't help but shout out, their voice tinged with tears: "Your Highness, you have worked hard! Everyone has worked hard!"

“Serve the people!”

Feeling a bit sleepy and groggy, Fujiwara Kanezane replied subconsciously, and then his heart skipped a beat:

Oops, why did I shout this out publicly?

It's fine to ask those latent CCP members to do this privately, but to say this publicly, wouldn't that just expose my relationship with the CCP?

As expected, everyone looked at him in astonishment, not understanding why His Highness would respond with such a confusing remark. Even the sleeping cavalrymen were startled awake and looked at their king.

"Uh...serving the people isn't hard!"

Since he had already said it, Fujiwara no Kanezane naturally couldn't take it back. Besides, it was something he was going to do in the future anyway, so he explained:

"I'm sure everyone already knows that Manchukuo will soon be renamed the Five-Star Eastern Republic."

This was something that the Ministry of Internal Affairs had already begun to publicize, and everyone nodded in agreement, with some even feeling that it was "natural" and "expected."

Manchukuo, Manchukuo, since Puyi's death, how much does this Manchukuo still have to do with "Manchu"?

Besides Empress Wanrong, who is considered a Manchu, is there another Manchu among them?

Moreover, most people in Northeast China did not like "Manchu" themselves and had no feelings towards Puyi. After hearing that the Manchu remnants in Peking had met with misfortune, people from all over the country set off firecrackers to celebrate.

Therefore, regarding the impending "demise" of Manchukuo, the entire Northeast, from the people to the officialdom, was completely happy to see it happen.

"The new country we are going to build will be completely different from the old Manchukuo. I have long said that starting with me, all those who 'eat the emperor's food' will not be officials, but civil servants supported by the people!"

"As the saying goes, 'One who eats from someone's mouth is soft-hearted, and one who receives from someone's hand is obligated to do so.' Since we are supported by the people, all civil servants of the Five-Star Eastern Republic should naturally serve the people!"

"We always represent the development requirements of advanced productive forces, the direction of advanced culture, and the fundamental interests of the vast majority of the people. If we don't serve the people, who will we serve?"

"That's why the new building we built to serve everyone is called the 'Administrative Service Center', not the 'Government Office'!"

"Since we've come this far today, I'm here to announce that from now on, there will be no government offices in the entire Five-Star Oriental Republic. There will only be service points dedicated to the people, the people, and the nation!"

"If anyone takes advantage of their position as a minor official to oppress the people and engage in corruption, I encourage everyone to bravely report them to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Department of Discipline Inspection and Supervision! Not only will they be acquitted, but they will be rewarded!"
