The War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression was an eternal pain for the Chinese. During that time, the brutality of Japanese soldiers harmed the lives of Chinese, and thousands of people were **. These painful memories are timeless.
In addition to the Japanese army, there were also many Japanese civilians who participated in this war. They were pioneers formed by the Japanese **, who stepped into the land of northeastern China, seized the land of the local people, and put them in a situation of displacement. Now, there is no trace of the pioneer group in the Northeast, so what about the end of their life?
1. Ambitious immigration plans.
Japan has long coveted Chinese territory, especially during the War of Resistance Against Japan. Realizing that they could not occupy China's vast territory by relying on the army alone, they chose to emigrate to China, which was also one of the purposes of Japan's invasion of China. Because the Japanese mainland is too small to satisfy its huge desires. After the "918 Incident", Japan began to formulate plans to emigrate to China, and Northeast became their target area.
Beginning in 1933, Japan's experimental migration to the northeast region resulted in the displacement of more than 400 Chinese peasants, many of whom died of starvation.
In 1936, Japan put forward a formal immigration plan, the "Plan for One Million Agricultural Households to Manchuria", which planned to emigrate 5 million people to China in phases over 20 years. Although only 330,000 people eventually emigrated to the northeast, these people, like the Japanese army, brought great harm to the Chinese people.
Second, the miserable life of the Chinese people under the oppression of the Japanese army.
The arrival of the pioneer group was undoubtedly a disaster for the local farmers. They bought a large amount of land from local people at very low prices, causing many to lose their homes and even die of starvation.
The survivors faced two destinies: they became tenants of the pioneer group and farmed for these "new landlords";Or they were driven into the "group tribes", which were in fact concentration camps in disguise. In order to cut off the common people from the anti-Japanese forces, the Japanese army used violence to drive people to live in a place, and the rebels were shot. These tribes suffered from a harsh environment, hunger and cold, and various infectious diseases.
The common people endured inhumane living conditions and suffered cruel exploitation by the Japanese army. They were forced to cultivate barren land, endure all kinds of harsh taxes imposed by the Japanese army, and lived in extreme hardship.
3. The final outcome of the Pioneer Group.
With the late stage of the Anti-Japanese War, the Japanese army was short of soldiers, and only the old, weak, women and children were left in the pioneer regiment. When the Japanese army evacuated, they brutalized ** women and children, they were trapped, and in desperation, some chose to commit suicide en masse.
These pioneer groups thought that the Chinese would take revenge, but in fact, the Chinese adopted many Japanese orphans. In the end, however, the Japanese tried to abandon them. Under the agreement between China, the United States and the Soviet Union, China began to repatriate these nationals in April 1946 and completed the repatriation in September 1946.
These pioneer groups hurt the Chinese, but the Chinese did not retaliate. The Chinese adopted war orphans, showing kindness and benevolence. But kindness does not mean that you can be bullied, Japan's aggression has brought great suffering to the Chinese, we will always remember history, and hope that Japan will reflect deeply and not make mistakes again.
