Chapter 45 1. The last battle

In the early morning of April 15, 1945, the commander of the 20th Army of the Japanese Army, Kazuyoshi Sakanishi, issued an order to capture Zhijiang Airport at the military headquarters in Shaoyang. After the order was issued, Sakanishi Kazuyoshi sat on a chair, staring at a huge colored map of Xiangxi in front of him, and remained silent for a long time. At noon, a staff officer asked the commander in a low voice if he wanted something to eat.Sakanishi Kazuyoshi said to him, "Don't you think it's so strange to have such a big mountain in southern China?" "Looking at the snow that never melts on the top of the mountain, how can you not think of the local Mount Fuji?"

The commander said again dreamily. In the vast mountainous area named Xuefeng Mountain, the Chinese General Wang Yaowu commanded the Fourth Front Army to fight hard for one and a half months, killing and wounding more than 20,000 Japanese troops, and achieved a major victory in smashing the Japanese army's attempt to destroy China's Zhijiang Airport. The historical significance of this battle, known as the Xiangxi Battle in history, is that it was the last battle of the Kuomintang battlefield in the Chinese War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. Naturally, it was also the last battle on the Hunan battlefield of the Anti-Japanese War.So far, Xiaoxiao Xiangshui has finally flowed to the end of this period of history.

On August 15, 1945, more than two months after the gunfire on Xuefeng Mountain ceased, the Emperor of Japan told his subjects: the war is over. At 9:00 am on September 2, the USS Missouri.After Japanese Shigemitsu Aoi and Umezu Yoshijiro signed the instrument of surrender on behalf of the cabinet and the headquarters respectively, American General MacArthur walked to the microphone and told the world: the war is over. September day.Mao Zedong and Chiang Kai-shek, who had never drank alcohol, raised wine together in Chongqing. The two "toasted the great victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression!"

The Anti-Japanese War is over. Is the Anti-Japanese War over?
