Abstract

On the eve of Japan's surrender in 1945, the Soviet Union sent troops to Northeast China to attack the Japanese invaders. During the management vacuum period from the surrender of Japan to the takeover of Northeast China by the people's Republic of China, the Soviet Union dismantled and transported a large number of equipment and materials from the Japanese- occupied areas in Northeast China to the Soviet Union. However, China has no information about the details of this historical event. In 2009, the team led by Chinese historian Shen Zhihua translated and published the 1948-1976 intelligence files on China declassified by the United States in October 2004, including the inquiry report on the Soviet Union's dismantlement of Japanese industrial equipment from Manchuria. This report has become the most important first-hand information for studying this period of history. According to the Inquiry Report, the Soviet Union's dismantlement and transportation of equipment and materials from the Japanese-occupied areas in Northeast China was a national operation organized and led by the country's top leadership, specifically implemented by the Soviet army and Soviet citizens in Northeast China, and in which Japanese prisoners of war, technicians, and Chinese coolies were forced to participate. The operation dismantled and transported at least 75 factories, enterprises and a poison gas research institute from at least 30 cities and towns in 4 provinces in Northeast China and Inner Mongolia. It was transported to the Soviet Union by plane, ship, train and truck, settled in at least 49 towns, and established at least 81 factories and enterprises. It caused great losses to China.
