This is a complete set of two values. The chop is a feint, soft black and hard to read. The top four characters are 中華民國 Chinese Republic.

There are other overprints associated with this town.

 
These stamps have been identified by using Volume II of the Stamp Catalogue of China by Shui-Hon Chan and the four booklet guide The Local Overprinted Stamps of Manchuria 1945-7 by Allen D Kerr (published 1978 and now out of print). Both works are essential for anyone delving seriously into this subject.
