Immigration plan to occupy the Northeast

320,000 Japanese civilians came to China to seize fertile fields

As of the end of World War II, a total of 320,000 Japanese were transported to the land of China. These people rely on Kwantung Army_ The asylum of span2span and the gun in his hand forced to seize or buy Chinese land at a very low price, and then leased it to Chinese farmers for farming. As a result, 5 million Chinese farmers lost their fertile land, were displaced, and died of freezing and starvation. There are countless Chinese people!

Forcibly snatching the land of the Chinese

These people at the bottom of Japan, who had nothing to do, became big landlords overnight. Naturally, they were extremely excited. The average land owned by each household was unexpected. Up to more than 100 acres! However, such a good thing does not last long. They will soon usher in an extremely tragic fate on this so-called [kingdom paradise] bestowed by the emperor!

The pioneering regiment was abandoned by the emperor and fell from heaven to hell

On December 7, 1941, Pacific War broke out. In response to the powerful American army, a large number of elite troops and heavy weapons of the Kwantung Army began to be transferred. To fight on the southern front, in order to make up for the emptiness of troops along the Sino-Soviet border, nearly 100,000 civilians from the pioneer group were enlisted into the army. They are about to become the cannon fodder of Japanese militarism!

On August 9, 1945, Japan, near the end of the world, was suddenly attacked by the Soviet army. Under the attack of the Soviet steel torrent, the Kwantung Army was defeated and retreated hastily! And at this time,The people of the pioneer group who were once aloof fell from heaven to hell in an instant, but at this most dangerous moment, they became the emperor’s outcasts! Japanese high-level officials only cared about the escape of the Kwantung Army and did not care about the life and death of the pioneer group. Japanese immigrants who lack the protection of the Kwantung Army are like a bereavement dog at this moment and do not know where to go! They fled hurriedly on the land of China, and one after another sad incident began to kick off!

Zhao Paotun incident

In Zhao Paotun, an ordinary Chinese farmer named [Wang Shaode] saw this scene: some Japanese are listening After arriving at the surrender book read by the emperor, he chose jade fragments, and some Japanese who did not want to commit suicide were slaughtered by their compatriots! He saw more than a dozen Japanese men lighting up Matsuakiko who were surrounded by the eaves of each house, and many people were turned to ashes alive!

There was also the Mashan Incident that broke out at the same time as the Zhaopaotun Incident. Mashan was on the outskirts of today's Jixi City. At that time, in the eastern part of the Mississippi area, a man named Beinuma Yoji The leader of the pioneering team led more than a thousand people to escape from the Hada River to Jixi! Along the way, Soviet artillery continued to explode around them. When they reached Mashan, a group of students armed with guns in the front team suddenly encountered the Soviets. They could not beat the Soviets, so they turned their guns. Start ruthlessly shooting the women and children behind them!

When Yoji Kainuma, commanded by the rear team, learned of this, he was shocked! At the same time, they happened to encounter the retreating Kwantung Army. Yoji Kainuma asked the Kwantung Army to protect the common people, but the Kwantung Army ignored it. The desperate Kainuma Yoji immediately took out a pistol and shouted long live the emperor, and died consciously. After his death, the collapsed deputy commander and other men took up the machine gun and shot them crazy like women and children. Some people who were lucky enough not to be killed all plunged into the deep mountains and forests, Mashan. This tragic incident resulted in the deaths of more than 500 members of the Japanese pioneer group!

The tragic experience of Fangzheng County

The experience of Fangzheng County in Heilongjiang Province is a pain that a large number of Japanese immigrants will never forget! At that time, the Japanese Development Administration issued a secret order, requiring all migrants from all walks to gather in Harbin, and then send them back to China together. However, at that time, the two roads leading to Harbin were all blocked by the Soviet army, and all of them fled. In the end, about 15,000 immigrants gathered in this small place in Fangzheng County.

The only little food here was quickly consumed by them. At this time, they entered the harsh winter of Northeast China, the coldest temperature was nearly minus 40 degrees, and the Japanese who only wore single clothes when fleeing , Under the blow of hunger and cold, disease began to break out, and the death toll was increasing day by day!

The Japanese who died in Fangzheng County

According to Matsuda Chie's recollection: Several people died every day in September and October. People who died before November can still be buried in the wild. After November, it will be cold. The ground was frozen, and people had to be thrown into the vegetable cellar of the original development group reserve 冬菜. This vegetable cellar was five meters wide and ten meters long. By late December, the corpse had filled the vegetable cellar, and later people died. They had to be stacked on top of the vegetable cellar. Only those who have really experienced it can understand the painful torture!
