Chapter 123 Japan Surrenders

During the three months when the German army was crazily attacking the Soviet Union, the battle between the Tang and Japanese armies in the brigade area was coming to an end.

On June 15, the newly established 8th Marine Division of the Tang Army arrived in Bohai Bay. Under the escort of the Tang Army fleet, they landed in Yingkou at dawn the next day, broke through the heavy defense of the Japanese army, and captured Yingkou on the morning of the 17th.

The Tang army suddenly took action in Yingkou, which immediately disrupted the Japanese Kwantung Army's combat plan. Yingkou was lost, and the 400,000 Japanese troops on the mainland were facing an unfavorable situation of attacks from front to back.

The Japanese army was panicked. After half a year of fierce fighting in the Lun Fortress, they fought with the Tang army and paid a heavy price of more than 100,000 casualties, but still failed to capture the Lun Fortress. This was much more tragic than the Lun Fortress during the Russo-Japanese War.

The Tang army was in danger and defended. With advanced weapons and equipment and naval and air force support, less than 2,000 casualties were killed or killed. If it continued to waste like this, it would be enough to kill the Japanese army.

However, the National Revolutionary Army was not idle either. He knew that Japan had sunset, so he had higher fighting spirit. At this time, the National Revolutionary Army had adapted to the aircraft, tanks, and various weapons and equipment that the Tang Empire had assisted them, and gradually regained the initiative in the battle against the Japanese army.

In the Battle of Shanhaiguan, the National Revolutionary Army defeated the defense of the 15th Division of the Kwantung Army in one fell swoop and broke into the pass. This was the first time the National Revolutionary Army entered the country since the fall of the Northeast, and it was of great significance.

The Tang army did not adopt an active offensive strategy for more than half a year, which gave the Japanese army an illusion, which made them think that the Tang army was beyond the reach, so they neglected the defensive forces in the direction of Yingkou. It turned out that the Japanese army stationed in Yingkou was transferred to the front line of the brigade. The wounded Japanese soldiers who retreated from the brigade battlefield rushed to Yingkou to replace defense.

However, the Tang army seized this loophole. After the original Yingkou garrison left, the Japanese wounded soldiers had changed defense before they arrived. They suddenly sent the 8th Marine Division to launch a surprise attack, and as a result, they won the battle and captured the Yingkou important town.

This had a huge blow to the Japanese army. The 400,000 Japanese troops who were fighting against the Tang army on the battlefield of the brigade were panicked. The Japanese headquarters knew that the situation was hopeless and the brigade could not be recaptured, so they ordered the Japanese army to retreat across the board.

The Japanese army had long seen the powerful combat power of the Tang army. The Tang army's weapons and equipment were much more advanced than the Japanese army, and they occupied the absolute advantage of the navy and air force. In addition, they could not regain the brigade fortress. When the rear road was surrounded, the Japanese army's morale was suddenly disintegrated, and 400,000 Japanese troops rushed to retreat. Many logistics troops were slow, but blocked the main passage of retreat. The Japanese troops retreated in the front could not retreat quickly, and soon caused traffic congestion.

At this time, the Tang army's naval aviation troops dispatched again, bombing Japanese vehicles, artillery, tanks and other important targets, while fighter jets dive to strafuse the Japanese army's marching troops, causing major casualties to the Japanese army.

The Tang army sent armored troops to pursue the retreating Japanese troops at the right time, which immediately intensified the panic and chaos of the Japanese troops when they retreated.

In just one week, the Japanese army suffered a huge amount of 100,000 casualties, far exceeding the casualties paid by the Japanese army during normal attacks and combat. The retreat became disorderly and became a major defeat.

The Tang army beat the dogs in the water, and the Japanese army abandoned heavy equipment and fled to Fengtian with light equipment. However, it was difficult for them to march quickly during the day because there were Tang army reconnaissance planes and fighter planes in the sky, which would dive at any time. At any time, a unit of Japanese troops were slaughtered and shone, forcing the Japanese army to travel through the mountains during the day and dared to advance on the road at night.

As a result, the Japanese army retreated even slower, while the Tang army's armored troops pushed forward all the way, which was unstoppable. The Japanese army's originally planned retreat would turn into a tragic fate of being completely wiped out.

The entire retreat of the Japanese army of the Great Guardian army lasted for a month, and was also attacked by the Tang army for a month. The 400,000 Japanese troops finally retreated to Fengtian, with less than 50,000 Japanese troops being wiped out, and more than 200,000 Japanese troops were missing.

These are all the core elite troops of the Kwantung Army, and as a result, they were all casualties in the entire brigade battle.

At this time, the entire Japanese Kwantung Army's troops had dropped from 1.18 million people half a year ago to less than 400,000 people. They could not defend against the entire three northeastern provinces and could only focus on defending important cities.

The Anti-Japanese Allied Forces in the Northeast seized the opportunity and quickly captured the areas where the Japanese withdrew, and established bases under the command of the Eighth Route Army.

The Japanese army guarded important cities such as Fengtian, Changchun, and Harbin, and wanted to fight to the death with the Tang army and the National Revolutionary Army.

The Japanese army planned to die with the Tang army. The 731 unit in the northeast was to detonate all poisonous gas bombs and bacteria bombs, and let everyone from the three northeastern provinces be buried with the Japanese army.

The plan of the Tang army agents to intercept the Japanese army was quickly reported to the General Staff of the Tang Empire.

Zhang Meng attached great importance to this matter and immediately exchanged views with the leaders of the ** and the Communist Army. On the one hand, he devoted all his strength to stop the Japanese army's plan. On the other hand, the Tang Empire officially issued an ultimatum to the Japanese Kwantung Army, claiming that if the Japanese army dared to use poison gas bombs and bacterial weapons, the Tang Empire would directly drop poison gas bombs and bacterial bombs over the Japanese mainland and destroy the entire Japan.

This is a powerful medicine, accompanied by certain risks. The Japanese Kwantung Army wanted to die together, but in the face of the strong threat from the Tang Empire, they could not bear to have their families in China also attacked by poison gas and bacteria, so they were forced to cancel this terrifying plan.

However, the Japanese Kwantung Army also took advantage of this rare opportunity to contact the top leaders of the Tang Empire and formally submitted a request for peace to the Tang Empire. It hoped to end the Tang and Japan war at the cost of surrender of all Kwantung Army.

If the Japanese army is forced into anger, they may really die together. In that case, tens of millions of Northeast elders will suffer. The call for an end to the war will be jointly issued by most Chinese parties and people. The Tang Empire also exchanged views with the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, and finally agreed to the Japanese army to surrender unconditionally, which would save the suffering of war.

The Japanese base camp also knew that it was powerless to turn the world back. The second Tang-Japanese War was still a failure. They chose to surrender because there was no hope of victory and did not surrender again. When the Tang army landed on the Japanese mainland, it was much more terrifying than the Tang army bombarded the Japanese mainland now.

On August 15, 1939, after more than a dozen negotiations between relevant personnel from Tang and Japan, an agreement was finally reached. The new Japanese emperor announced that Japan would surrender unconditionally, while the Tang Empire allowed Japan to retain the emperor's system, that's all.

On the same day, the Japanese cabinet submitted an edict of unconditional surrender to the Tang Empire. From now on, the Japanese army completely laid off its armed forces and surrendered to the Tang army and the Central ** team.

According to the Tang-Japanese Armistice Agreement, Japan had no other requirements except to invite the Tang Empire to retain the Japanese emperor system. In their opinion, as long as the emperor retained, Japan could have a day of recovery.

The Tang Empire and its allies will send troops into Japan to disarm the Japanese army, trial war criminals, and carry out war compensation and other related matters.

The Japanese Kwantung Army in the northeast finally completed its entire surrender in September, and the National Revolutionary Army announced on September 23 that it would fully recover the three northeastern provinces.

The 300,000 Japanese troops in North Korea surrendered to the Tang Empire, and the Korean Peninsula was temporarily entrusted by the Tang Empire until North Korea completed its democratic election and established a government.

Due to Japan's surrender, the National Government abolished all unequal treaties from Japan since the Treaty of Shimonoseki. However, on the Taiwan issue, the National Government stated that it could be temporarily entrusted by the Tang Empire. If one day Taiwan's democratic voted to return to China, the Tang Empire should return Taiwan. The Tang Empire expressed its understanding of this.

The two sides handled the Taiwan issue in a low-key manner, and the Chinese people did not have much emotion about the occupation of Taiwan by the Tang Empire, which originated from the relationship between the two sides being the same ancestor.

At present, both sides are busy punishing Japan's defeat. Tang and China established a Far East Military Tribunal, and began to trial the war criminals of the Japanese war invasion of China and the Tang-Japanese War, and traitors who betrayed the nation, and set up an economic investigation team to assess the economic losses and casualties caused by the Japanese war, and then claim compensation from Japan.

Tang and China sent troops to Japan to form a joint headquarters of the occupation forces, and carried out military occupation of Japan.

All this was going on in an orderly manner. With Japan's surrender, Britain and France were destroyed, and the Soviet Union was the entire group of Allies.

However, the Tang Empire still did not invade the Soviet Union by military force, and it was still just the German army, Italian army and their servants who were fighting with the Soviet army. The Tang Empire still asked the Soviet Union to ced the Far East to the Tang Empire as soon as possible, otherwise the Tang Empire would send troops to participate in the war.

For the Soviet Union, when he learned that Japan had surrendered, Stalin understood that the Far East had to be ceded to the Tang Empire, otherwise the Soviet Union would face the siege of Germany, Italy, Tang and China, and the situation would be even worse.

Fortunately, the Far East was the income from Tsarist Russia's invasion of China. Before, Lenin said that the Far East was to be returned to China, so Stalin handed over the Far East to the Tang Empire. For the Soviet people, their resistance was not so high. After scolding Stalin for a few days, his attention returned to the Soviet-German battlefield.

In this way, the Soviet Union began to hand over the Far East defense to the Tang Empire, and the National Government was quite entangled at this time. Chiang Kai-shek was determined to destroy the Communist army and made a request to the Tang Empire that as long as the Tang Empire did not interfere with the civil war between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, the National Government would no longer seek Taiwan and the Far East.

However, soon Chiang Kai-shek became sad, and Zhang Meng warned him clearly that civil war would not be allowed.

Under Zhang Meng's strong request, the Kuomintang and the Communist Party held negotiations to form a coalition government in Nanjing under the arrangement of the Tang Empire.

However, the political ideas of both sides are different, and it can be said that it is incompatible. It is extremely difficult to establish a coalition government. However, Zhang Meng made such a decision. He wanted to stop the civil war and he had to give it a try no matter what. After all, he knew the future situation and could use the "socialist system with Chinese characteristics" to integrate the propositions of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party to resolve their differences.
