We have analyzed the 1992 November 2 GOES X9-class long-duration flare that was accompanied by intense microwave and hard X-ray emission, using data from the Nobeyama Radioheliograph at 17 GHz and the Hard X-Ray and Soft X-Ray Telescopes onboard the Yohkoh. We show that: (1) There are two electron components: one is a quite soft component as inferred from hard X-ray emission, and the other is a quite hard nonthermal component, as inferred from microwave emission. (2) Hard X-ray observations show a bar structure which is located well above the soft X-ray loop. (3) The soft electron component is created in the bar region. It is also suggested that the hard nonthermal electron component is also created in or near the compact bar region and is trapped in the larger region surrounding the soft X-ray source. (4) The bar region has a high temperature of 40 MK, a high density of 5×1010 cm-3, and a high thermal energy content of 1030 erg.
