Expedition to Europe

Chapter 509 Dead City

It is impossible to test when the word "traitor" appeared, but since the first written record of the word "traitor", it meant those scum who betrayed the interests of the Han people, and later extended to those who betrayed the Han people and surrendered to the enemy, and were unforgivable.

To be honest, for Qin Zhiyuan, the hatred for "traitors" is greater than that for real enemies.

If you fall behind, you will be beaten. This sentence has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in the 21st century where Qin Zhiyuan lived, and it has also become a slogan for the country to encourage all patriots to work hard to build the country and defend their homeland.

Since you understand this truth, then work hard to make your country not fall behind, work hard to make your country more advanced, and become more deterrent. This is the fundamental solution to not being beaten.

But for some people, the weak should obey the strong, and the backward country should obey the powerful country in exchange for international living space.

To be honest, there are many such people. Even in the traditional Chinese culture, there are sentences such as "good birds choose trees to live in" and "gentlemen do not stand under dangerous walls".

If we understand it literally, the three views of these sentences do not seem to be so positive, but if we analyze them in combination with the context of the original text, it is not what we usually understand.

But some people, when they do something that forgets their ancestors, always extract some fragmented sentences from the vast literature to find theoretical basis for their despicable behavior.

In Qin Zhiyuan's view, if we stand on the position of the Han people, then the war between the Han people and the Japanese is a war between ethnic groups for living space.

In this war, as long as you stand on the opposite side of the Han people, you are the enemy of the Han people.

The backwardness of the country cannot be blamed on others, it is because of your elders or ancestors who are not motivated, it doesn't matter, from now on, starting from me, as long as you work hard, there is still hope.

But if you betray your country and your ethnic group because of the backwardness of the country, then such a person really has no need to live.

Therefore, Qin Zhiyuan's attitude towards traitors is to kill them all. It is not only to punish the traitors for their betrayal, but also to warn those who are still alive, let them know the fate of being a traitor, and let them understand that the whole society despises traitors.

So what awaits the Mudanjiang "Imperial Army" can only be collectively shot after public trial, and there is no other way to go.

At the same time, those Japanese soldiers, Japanese immigrants and Korean immigrants who have committed crimes at Mudanjiang Station will also be shot. As long as there is conclusive evidence that those people have oppressed the Chinese, they will all be shot.

In this way, there are actually not many Japanese and Koreans left at Mudanjiang Station.

If the execution is carried out in a one-size-fits-all manner, there will definitely be injustices, and some people will definitely not be sentenced to death. However, at this special moment involving a war between two ethnic groups, it is difficult to determine whether there is guilt or how great the sin is, and there is not enough time to determine it, so it can only be done in a one-size-fits-all manner.

If you want to be serious, the Vladivostok coalition did not even have the power to enforce the law in Kanto, but at this time, who would jump out to oppose it?

When the Japanese and Russians went to war in Kanto, did they ask the Chinese for their opinions? When the Japanese government seized the Kanto Railway, did they ask the Republic of China for its opinion?

The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit, that's the truth.

When the Japanese drove the Chinese out of their exclusive economic zone, when those Japanese and Korean immigrants came to Kanto happily, cultivated land that did not belong to them, and enjoyed privileges that did not belong to them, they should have had this awareness.

For those ordinary Japanese and Koreans who have never harmed the Chinese, as well as the families of those "criminals", the attitude of the Vladivostok coalition is to repatriate them all back to their hometowns.

Of course, when these people leave, they can only carry some of their personal clothes, and all other belongings are not allowed to be taken away, just like when they immigrated.

In just one day, the Vladivostok coalition forces completed all the tasks from attacking Mudanjiang Station to pacifying Mudanjiang Station.

In this day, about 2,000 Japanese soldiers and the Imperial Army died in battle, and then in the subsequent public trial, about 1,300 Imperial Army soldiers and Japanese immigrants and Korean immigrants were executed by firing squad, and the remaining about 4,000 women and children were imprisoned in temporary concentration camps, and they would be repatriated after the war.

After pacifying Mudanjiang Station, Liu Zizheng's next target was Kuanchengzi, which was later Changchun.

Just as Liu Zizheng was preparing to attack Kuanchengzi, Xie Rundong was leading the fleet back to Keelung.

In the past few days, Xie Rundong led the fleet to circle around the Penghu Islands and the Ryukyu Islands, attacking all the Japanese military facilities on those islands.

Well, it seems that there are many Japanese military facilities on those islands, but in fact there are not many.

The Penghu Islands and the Ryukyu Islands are now in their original state, except for a few islands where people have lived for a long time. There are no people at all, and naturally there are not many Japanese military facilities.

If Japan considers foreign immigration at this time, to be honest, Hokkaido in Japan and Kanto in the Republic of China are the first choice, followed by Yingzhou. Before these places are filled, the Japanese are not very interested in those scattered islands.

Speaking of which, Japan's development of Hokkaido has just begun. In the 1970s, Japan began to develop Hokkaido. It has only been two generations since then, and the development level is still very low.

It is not just Hokkaido and these small islands in the East China Sea. In the 1920s, the entire East Asia was in the stage of development. Take Yingzhou as an example. There are only two ports in Yingzhou, namely Kaohsiung in the south and Keelung in the north. When Xie Rundong led the fleet to the north, the Japanese used merchant ships to sink in the waterway of the port, which was considered to be useless. Therefore, Xie Rundong had to go around Keelung to land.

The landing of the army is subject to port restrictions. If there is no dock, the heavy equipment of the army cannot land, which is very unfavorable for the highly mechanized Lan Fang Army. Therefore, finding a suitable port is the first factor for landing.

When Xie Rundong led the fleet back to Keelung Port, Keelung Port could no longer see its original appearance.

After the Japanese occupied Yingzhou, they have been continuously building Keelung Port. At the same time, because of the good natural resources of Keelung Port, Keelung was also designated as a fortress area by the Japanese and became a standard military port.

As a port, the lighthouse is definitely one of the important landmark buildings.

When Xie Rundong and his team came to Keelung Port last time, the white lighthouse was still very eye-catching and could be seen from more than ten miles away, but now, the former landmark has almost disappeared.

Not only the lighthouse, but also the coastal defense turrets on the shore, the former Japanese military camps, the street shops and residential areas next to the port, and even the entire Keelung, have disappeared.

If Keelung was a fortress before, then Keelung is now a dead city.

The original text is available at Liu # 9 @Book/Bar!

In the current Keelung Port, there are still countless dead bodies floating. These are the unlucky people who wanted to jump into the sea to avoid the incendiary bombs during the bombing of Keelung that day. They are now basically in a half-cooked state.

The fire that day was so fierce that the seawater was almost boiled. The fate of the Japanese hiding in it can be imagined.

This caused Xu Zhenpeng and his men to have to wear gas masks when entering the port to slightly cover up the meaty smell in the air.

When Xu Zhenpeng stepped onto the land of Keelung Wharf, he subconsciously stomped his feet, trying to find the sense of solidity of stepping on the ground.

Unexpectedly, after one step, he did not find the sense of solidity, but stirred up a lot of "dust".

Xu Zhenpeng squatted down and stretched out his hand to brush it. The top layer of the stone foundation of Keelung Port had been burned into powder.

"These damn air force guys are too cruel." Xu Zhenpeng secretly smacked his lips.

"Boss, we don't need to build a defensive position." Zheng Jiming, the head of the first regiment of the Marine Corps who landed together, was also smacked his lips.

"Damn, if you find it troublesome, go back to the ship and ask Tang Wensheng to come over." Xu Zhenpeng was not polite to his men at all.

No matter what the situation is, even if the entire city is only left with ruins, Xu Zhenpeng and other marines still have to set up defensive positions in strict accordance with the landing requirements, and then send a "landing" signal to the mother ship.

"No, act immediately, move, move, all units move immediately, set up defensive positions immediately, expand the landing field..." Zheng Jiming didn't dare to say more nonsense and immediately went to command the troops.

At the same time, in the bridge of the "Wanghai", the commander of the Northern Expedition Fleet, Xie Rundong, was saying goodbye to the commander of the First Armored Division, Zhang Tianshou.

"General Zhang, please rest assured, I will leave a squadron to protect Keelung Port and provide you with follow-up assistance, but this Keelung Port is now almost in ruins, and General Zhang will take care of it in the future." Xie Rundong said very politely.

Xie Rundong is a navy, Zhang Tianshou is an army, although Xie Rundong is the commander, he can't actually control Zhang Tianshou, Zhang Tianshou and others are just Xie Rundong's "passengers".

"Haha, General Xie, don't worry. After we complete the landing, I will recruit some locals and start to renovate Keelung Port immediately. Maybe when you come back, I can return a complete Keelung Port to you." Although Zhang Tianshou is a veteran, he is not arrogant.

Keelung Port is the military port reserved by the Lan Fang Navy, but the entire Keelung Port has now become a dead city. No one can guarantee whether there are still living people in the entire port. If you want to continue to build Keelung Port, you must need the cooperation of the army.

Zhang Tianshou will of course take the initiative to cooperate. Now Kaohsiung Port has been abandoned by the Japanese. If Keelung Port can no longer be used, then the First Armored Division in Zhang Tianshou's hands will be useless if the logistics cannot keep up.

Look, checks and balances are really everywhere.
