First, the Japanese army controlled the Mongolian Regime and the puppet Regime in northern Shanxi completely. The Mongolian and Chinese who taken part in the puppet were the figurehead of Japan. The Japanese set the Mongolian and the northern Shanxi as a places, in where they plunder resources supporting the war, they make a madly economic plunder in these places. Enslaving and contaminating are two main method by which the Japanese impose colonial rule. The Japanese attempt to remake the thoughts of Chinese, the intellectual were suppressed especially. All of these have confirmed that the Japanese colonial rule is very cruel. Second, among the occupied areas in China, the Mongolian and the northern Shanxi were ruled most cruel. The Mongolian and the northern Shanxi are mountainous and rich in natural resources. Japan deployed a large number army in the places for resisting the guerilla, obtain military stockpiles that were needed urgently and last a long time. Third, the northern Shanxi, the Mongolian and the northern Chaha, have many associations in society and economy, however, they are independent relatively from each other in politic. The puppet regime almost have no influence in the northern Shanxi, even after the Datong Province which was a part of the Mongolian Autonomous State replaced the north Shanxi puppet, there were not any Mongolian forces penetrated into the northern Shanxi.
