It turned out that a considerable part of the hundreds of thousands of young people in Northeast China who have been forcibly conscripted by the devil in the name of "labor" in the past few years have died of exhaustion, illness or simply been beaten to death by the devil because of heavy work, and what shocked the people in the northeast even more is that in the past few years, the devil has not put a single strong man back, and those who can't work will be killed directly, as long as the brain is okay, you can think that the devil is going to exterminate the Chinese in the northeast, at least the Chinese peasants! Originally, the peasants in the Northeast closed their eyes and ears because they were confined to a narrow circle by the Japanese army in the form of a "group tribe", and they could barely deceive themselves with statements such as "accidental" and "unfortunate" if they did not return the young and strong people who went out of their villages, but now the Anti-Japanese Federation has torn the thin curtain and put the bloody reality in front of everyone, and the peasants in the Northeast who are already bloody know that there is no way out, and they have given birth to "It is better to die in battle than to die in a nest like this!" The propaganda work that the Red Party has always been good at has played a role in fueling the flames at this time, otherwise it will come and go quickly by relying on blood

Many historians in later generations believed that the Northeast took the lead in carrying out land reform when the mainland was still engaged in "rent reduction and interest reduction", which may be the fundamental reason why the Anti-Japanese Federation quickly won the iron-hearted support of countless peasants. Although the Northeast is vast and sparsely populated, and the contradiction between people and land is not as great as in other regions, most of the land is concentrated in the hands of the landlords, and the peasants' desire for land is the same everywhere, and they can do anything to protect the newly acquired land. Moreover, there is a little convenience in the land reform in the northeast, and Japan has ruled for five or six years. The suppression of landlords by the Anti-Japanese Federation not only did not provoke criticism, but on the contrary won the support of the masses, and as long as the standard for demarcating landlords as landlords was raised to more than 100 mu per household (a family of five) in light of the current situation in the vast and sparsely populated northeast, they would basically not make a serious leftist mistake. As for those who are able to work but do not work, and rely on the labor of others to support themselves (except for housewives, taking care of children and taking care of the elderly). All were treated as landlords. It is the principle established by Hu Weidong when he founded the western Henan base area, and now it has also been brought to the northeast by the plateau, because it is applicable everywhere. The Northeast is no exception, and by the way, it can prevent those lumpenproletarians from directly mixing into the anti-Japanese ranks without reform

In addition, the application of various old and new mobilization techniques. It is also an important reason why the anti-union forces and base areas can expand rapidly in a short period of time. Except for Hu Weidong's hot kang in the summer (mentioned earlier, I will not repeat it here.) In addition, forcing young people to attend night school is also an effective tactic, not only helping them to improve their literacy (or literacy in the case of illiterate), but also weakening the influence of their elders in the family. Everyone knows that in general, young people are more impulsive and enthusiastic, and more idealistic, while older people tend to become calmer and more cautious, and think more realistically, let alone for the elderly. The safety of children is even more important than themselves. Therefore, those older people are generally reluctant to let their children participate in the anti-Japanese army to die and die, and the reason why history has written about those old people who take the initiative to send their children to join the army is actually because there are too few such situations. Therefore, weakening the influence of the elderly and elders will objectively make the young people in the base areas more enthusiastic to join the army to resist Japan, and at the same time, it will have a negative impact on the future of the old and the new in the base areas, and change the customs and customs. Again, a lot of obstacles are removed in advance

There are many similar tricks, only in terms of mobilization efficiency, the current Anti-Japanese Federation even surpasses the Northeast Field Army in history for 48 years. As a result, even Gao Yuan did not expect that after just over two months, the total strength of the Anti-Japanese Federation had jumped to more than 100,000 (this speed was slightly faster than the early stage of the Eighth Route Army's eastward march against Japan in history, mainly because of the fertile land in the northeast. Higher food production allows for a higher ratio of soldiers to civilians. The two new base areas in North Manchurian are connected to the old base areas, with a total population of nearly 5 million; Even the South Manchurian Column, which was in the most dangerous situation, grew to more than 10,000 troops, and established an anti-Japanese base area in Changbai Mountain with a population of no less than 500,000 people, so that General Umezu Mijiro, commander of the Japanese Kwantung Army, could not sleep all day long. …,

In July and August 1938 alone, more than 7,000 Japanese regular soldiers, more than 15,000 Japanese (Korean) pioneer regiments, more than 20,000 puppet Manchurian regular troops, and more than 13,000 puppet Manchurian policemen and traitor landlords' militias were killed, wounded, and captured, and a large amount of weapons, ammunition, money, and materials were seized. Inspired by a series of victories, Gao Yuan resolutely took out all the money and materials that the Soviets were willing to accept in the Anti-Japanese Federation at this time and the materials that were not necessary for the Anti-Japanese Alliance, and exchanged them for a division of Soviet-style equipment and ammunition sufficient for a major battle, and then concentrated the main force of the Anti-Japanese Federation of 780,000 people to brazenly surround the central city of Harbin in North Manchuria, pushing the "summer offensive" that has now developed into a storm to the maximum

Even though the Japanese puppet army in the city relied on the fortifications that had been repaired long ago to resist stubbornly, and the Kwantung Army flight group also sent aircraft groups to support again and again, but with a tenfold superiority in troops, weapons and equipment as a whole, and now it is quite good at preserving its own main force of resistance under the heavy firepower of the enemy, an independent mixed brigade stationed in Harbin still seems to be unable to support itself, and the casualties exceeded a quarter in less than three days. Almost every hour, a new telegram for help was sent to the Kwantung Army Command, and the tone was so anxious that even the usual self-deceptive word "tactical guidance" could not be seen.

In fact, the devils in Harbin are not necessarily afraid of death, but they really can't afford this responsibility, if Harbin falls into the hands of the Anti-Japanese Federation, Japan is likely to quickly lose the entire North Manchuria, and the Anti-Japanese Federation, which has further expanded its base area and gained a little industrial base, can expand its ranks to 200,000 or even 300,000 with the support of the Soviets, directly threatening the lifeline of South Manchuria, which is indispensable for Japan. At this time, the helpless Kwantung Army Command could finally only urgently transfer back the 100,000 people who entered the customs, and as for what to do with the North China Front, they are really powerless to take care of it now (welcome to your support, it is my biggest motivation.) )
