Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Although the Japanese 12th Division was full of reluctance, it finally handed over the defense of Vladivostok to the Chinese Participating Army. In the opinion of Chief of Staff Matsudaira, the brigade commander of the Chinese Participating Army named Zhang was definitely the master who dared to draw his gun.  In fact, after Zhang Zhijiang's divisional armored regiment and his own armored reconnaissance battalion entered the city, they quickly appeared on the front line of maintaining law and order.

    Two consecutive days of fierce fighting inevitably caused damage to the city, and the dispersion of the Soviet stragglers inevitably left the city's security in a bad situation. Shibagoro's Japanese 12th Division may not be a beast.  However, after paying heavy casualties, plundering and robbing cities and residents as victors will still occur in some troops.

    Fortunately, Zhang Zhijiang's troops quickly got into their roles. The streets were filled with patrolling Chinese wheeled armored vehicles and groups of Chinese troops in coats and fur hats wearing model army armbands with red background and white circles and black characters. In two days,  In the fierce battle, the remaining soldiers of the 14th Regiment of the 12th Brigade and the Japanese Army were almost wiped out, but they happened to hit the muzzle of the gun.

    After robbing and killing a local Vladivostok home, several survivors of the 14th Regiment appeared drunk on the street while shouting and singing the spiritual tunes of their hometown while fastening their belts. They were robbed.  The Russian expatriate who robbed the house found patrolling Chinese war soldiers from the street.

    The Japanese soldiers, who had gained both men and stolen goods, were heartbroken and drunk because the entire regiment was broken. They were also holding back their anger at the Chinese for taking away Vladivostok. As a result, the Chinese participating troops came forward to arrest them based on the identification of the victims.  Shi actually dared to resist and even fired a gun, even injuring a squad leader of the participating troops!

    The leader here happened to be Xu Changlin, the commander of Zhang Zhijiang's armored reconnaissance battalion. Without saying a word, this guy snatched the M1917A1 Browning's shot from the machine gun shooter and pulled the trigger. The five or six people had only thirty-eight caps.  The Japanese soldiers turned into a hornet's nest.

    Not to mention, Xu Changlin, who had become murderous, ordered the Japanese soldiers who were killed to be hung directly on the telephone poles on the roadside for public display, and slogans were painted on the telephone poles, "Dare to violate the curfew, rob, kill, commit suicide"  Anyone who joins the war and shoots will be shot without mercy!¡±

    The Japanese 12th Division, which had suffered a loss, was not willing to let it go, especially since these unlucky guys were originally the few remaining seeds of the 14th Regiment. Now it was completely over, and the flags did not need to be burned. The 14th Regiment  The team can cancel the number from the establishment!

    On behalf of the Twelfth Division, Chief of Staff Matsudaira rushed to Zhang Zhijiang's headquarters to lodge a solemn protest, and threatened that if the Chinese could not maintain law and order in Vladivostok and if Japanese soldiers were harmed again, the Twelfth Division would not hesitate to fight!

    Zhang Zhijiang¡¯s answer was very tough.

    "Let's be honest about everything. Since the Chinese Army has taken over the defense of Vladivostok and is responsible for the security of the entire city, we must follow our rules. The Chinese people, let alone robbery and murder, will not do anything when they step into the city.  From the first day of this Far East Primorsky Territory, anyone who dares to enter a private house will be shot without mercy! If your Kurume Division can't manage your own troops, then I will do it for you! If you don't agree, just come and fight!  Look who¡¯s afraid of who!¡±

    "Baga! The blood of the emperor's people must not be shed in vain! Zhang Sang, you and your soldiers have to pay the price for today's actions! One day!" Matsudaira Nana's seven orifices were smoking, but he still really  Don't dare to get angry!

    The man surnamed Zhang has said that Chinese people who dare to break into private houses will be shot to death. Anyone who dares to go to the streets during the curfew to cause trouble for the Chinese participating troops seems to be the pigs of the 14th Regiment.  We'll see!

    The completely different performances of the Chinese and Japanese teams in Vladivostok left a deep impression on the local people. Although in the minds of most people, whether it was the disciplined Chinese team with red armbands or the wretched ones in yellow,  These Japanese troops are all invaders!

    The leaflets distributed by Chinese planes stated that the territory from Transkhinggan Mountains to Vladivostok is Chinese territory. The Soviet government issued a declaration in December last year renounced all territories ceded from China and all unequal treaties. Is this true?  We have lived in Vladivostok for 70 years and three generations, so today we are not considered Russians?

    Tsarist Russia¡¯s development of Siberia and the Far East is the result of decades and hundreds of years of investment and unsparing efforts. These Russians who have lived there for two or even three generations do not have the sense of belonging and centripetal force toward China that they imagined.

    Of course, the new regime in Soviet Russia is also unpopular. The Cheka alone is a life-threatening thing, not to mention the "Land Decree". In contrast, except for those at the bottom who have no land and property support Soviet Russia,  Instead, most people miss the imperial glory of the Tsarist era!

    Of course, the situation is stronger than the people. No matter how strong the Bolsheviks' spiritual power is, the 6,000-strong garrison will still be wiped out in the end. If the Tsarist Russian generals were replaced, maybe we could withdraw to Khabarovsk early in the morning, but the Chinese leaflets  Said that ensuring the personal and property safety of local residents and also?Freely choose to join Chinese nationality!

    More than one citizen in the occupied Russian towns expressed doubts about whether the Chinese propaganda could be trusted. However, it seemed true that the Chinese army did not break into people's houses without disturbing the people, but they killed people who dared to attack the Chinese.  The Russians who fired the shots were really merciless. They also hung the corpses in the square and on telegraph poles, with slogans underneath stating why the man was shot!

    It is nothing more than robbing, murdering, raping and daring to shoot at the Chinese combatants. Gradually, the Far East and Siberia were discovered by the people in the areas controlled by the Chinese combatants. Whoever dares to shoot at the Chinese combatants will definitely be unlucky!  Anyone who dares to take advantage of the chaos and rob will be in trouble!

    In addition, the arrival of the Chinese Communist Party does not seem to have much impact on the lives of ordinary people. The village chiefs and town chiefs are still in their original positions, and every household can receive money from the town office every day.  To get a ration, of course, you have to register.

    The village chiefs and town chiefs said that the war declared by the Chinese will inevitably affect the lives of the people. Prices will rise and food will be scarce. Therefore, in the territories that have been recovered by China, regardless of nationality and ethnicity, as long as they are local residents, they can go  Register and receive rations every day, ensuring your family's livelihood and preventing them from being displaced or starving to death due to war!

    Is the army really that stupid?  Are the invaders that kind?  Will they poison the food?  Facts have proved that no, you can go and get rations, or not. No soldier can enter a civilian house without your permission. A huge army will not be without bad apples who disturb the people. They will be arrested and shot, and hung in the square and  On the telephone pole.

    "The crime is to break into people's houses without permission, and you can't even plead for mercy on behalf of these Chinese soldiers who have committed crimes. Those who deserve to be killed must be shot!"  In the words of a Chinese official, if you can't control yourself, there is only one word, death!

    Over time, ordinary people in Siberia and the Far East gradually accepted this view. You may not like the Chinese Communist Party, and they may not even like you at all, but your life has not become worse because of their arrival. On the contrary,  There is a little more security and hope. At least the public security situation in the market is unprecedentedly good. Those who have the courage to harm the people are basically hanging on squares and telephone poles!

    And there is no shortage of food. You can get it once a day. It is enough for your family to live for a day at a time. I won¡¯t give you more for fear that you will resell it. Everyone knows that the whole of Russia is short of food this winter. I heard that there is a lot of food to the west of the Ural Mountains.  The local area has been out of food, but in the Far East, there are actually rations distributed by the invaders. With this food and strict military discipline, the Chinese *** team has saved a lot of hearts and minds in the local area!

    In fact, in the two days since the war began, the largest shipment from China to Siberia and the Far East was not arms, but grain. The remaining grain in southern China was requisitioned and continuously transported northward.

    What does it mean to prepare for a rainy day?  This is planning for a rainy day!  After last year's summer grain harvest, the Chinese government changed all land taxes in the northern provinces to in-kind payments, and aggressively purchased grain in the south. In particular, Wang Geng imported two batches of grain worth 10 million US dollars each from the United States!

    For Russia, Siberia and the Far East in 1918, nothing was more important than food. In the occupied areas, if you distributed one more ration, you might be able to save the life of a family, and it might be one less participant in the Soviet guerrillas.  .
