The dawn of the end of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression seemed to appear sooner than everyone expected, and it was as if God had once again expounded the truth that evil could not prevail over good with real actions.

From 1942 to 1945, in just three years, although the Eighth Route Army's anti-Japanese revolutionary base area entered a difficult moment due to the unprecedented sweep after the Japanese Army's Hundred Regiments War, all the officers and men of the Eighth Route Army were united and firmly believed that the final victory of the anti-Japanese war would be achieved.

It was not until 1945 that the Yan'an Liberation Daily published a New Year's message entitled "Striving for the Early Realization of Victory" that the Eighth Route Army finally began to prepare to enter the stage of strategic counteroffensive.

From April to June of the same year, the Seventh National Congress of the Communist Party of China was held, calling on all soldiers of the Eighth Route Army to launch a strategic counteroffensive against the Japanese invaders.

On July 26, China, the United States, and Britain issued the "Potsdam Proclamation" urging Japan to surrender, but the arrogant Japanese ignored this proclamation on the 28th, and the invading army was still not disarmed.

As a result, countries have adopted a series of measures of force and repression.

On August 6, the United States dropped the first atomic bomb on Hiroshima, Japan, on August 8, the Soviet Union sent troops into the northeast to declare war on Japan, and on August 9, the United States dropped the second atomic bomb on Nagasaki, Japan.

At this point, the armed oppression of many parties and the protracted war of aggression had caused a miasma in Japan, which could not make ends meet, the military and the people complained, and the people were miserable, and the Japanese had to announce their unconditional surrender on September 2.

On August 21, 1945, the world-renowned ceremony of surrendering the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression was held on the Zhijiang River in the Xuefeng Mountains of Xiangxi, and the once invincible Japanese invaders formally surrendered to the people of the whole country on this primitive, barren, but forever unconquerable land of Xiangxi.

……

……

The Anti-Japanese War is over, the eight-year Anti-Japanese War, how much bitterness and tears, after years of indescribable, when the news came, everyone's reaction was almost from the initial shock, disbelief, to ecstatic, crying, emotional, and finally to celebrate, smiling like spring.

The 129th Division, the division headquarters, the time went back to the 15th, and the Japanese had officially announced their surrender, but the news had not yet had time to spread.

The orderly Xiao Zhang rushed into the division headquarters with a happy face, and he didn't bother to knock on the door when he was excited, far from being cautious and restrained on weekdays, and rushed to the front of Liu, the commander of the 129th Division, with a frizzy face.

"Division...... Division...... Division commander, surrender, surrender! ”

"What surrendered?" Years of habit made Liu always can't help but keep his eyes on the combat map, to pass the idle time, hearing Xiao Zhang's voice, he raised his head and asked with some doubts.

"The Japanese, the Japanese have surrendered, the division commander, the Japanese have surrendered!" Xiao Zhang was excited.

Liu Fu froze towards the right hand of the glasses frame, and then said unhappily: "Xiao Zhang, aren't you telling me a joke?" It's not funny at all. ”

"I didn't ...... No, Commander! ”

Xiao Zhang stammered a little anxiously, but he was sweating profusely with excitement, he thought about it for a long time, and then summed up his thoughts and said: "The Japanese surrendered, they really surrendered, and the news has been published in the "Central Daily"!" ”

"Seriously?"

"It's true, Commander!"

"Good, good, good! Hahahaha! ”

Liu laughed, laughed heartily, laughed indulgently, laughed unbridledly, laughter spread throughout the command, and laughed and laughed, somehow laughed out of tears.

At this moment, he really had all kinds of thoughts and emotions in his heart, but for a while, he choked up even more because of the great excitement of Japan's surrender.

After a long time, Liu laughed and said: "Order the whole division, celebrate collectively, and Han Xinhan, the director of the 147 Arsenal, tell him the news, don't let him work too hard, it's time to go home and have a look." ”

"Yes!" Xiao Zhang was ordered to go.

Xiao Zhang's figure was far away, and Liu sighed alone again, the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression ended like this, how much sadness and tears, bloodshed and sacrifice, as if it was yesterday, and as if a long time had passed, like a dream.

……

……

The news of the unconditional surrender of the Japanese soon spread to the 147 Arsenal in accordance with Liu's order.

This secret arsenal has a strict work system, and the workers are even more meticulous in their work, and basically no one will say any gossip except for work on weekdays.

However, at this moment, when the news of the end of the Japanese surrender of the War of Resistance against Japan came, all the workers were out of shape, and they did whatever they wanted, shouting loudly, roaring, and using all means to express the excitement and joy in their hearts, and there was nothing more ecstatic than such a day.

"Factory director, factory director, we have won! Did you hear that? We've won! ”

Several technical backbones laughed wildly, looked at Han Xin, and left tears of excitement.

Of course, Han Xin knew about the end of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, and even the specific day it ended. He also thought that this established fact that he knew brought him only a momentary emotion when it happened, but when he really experienced everything in the War of Resistance against Japan, from the arduous Long March, to the sad anti-Japanese war, everything was over, he found that his mentality was far less firm than he imagined.

Han Xin smiled, the same unbridled laughter, ecstatic laughter, not taboo at all.

Even before Liu's order came, he laughed and said, "Comrades, the War of Resistance is over, and it's time for us to celebrate." I'm going to give you a vacation as the factory director now, and let's go back and rest for a few days!

But remember, don't forget our rules, after three days, everyone, no one will be left to reassemble here for me. ”

"Yes, thank you, long live the director!" The men laughed.

Of course, there are a few exceptions, such as the copper hammer, that is, Master Zhao Tong, except for some interest in arms, there seems to be nothing else to attract his attention.

Han Xin didn't force this, and after explaining and instructing the few comrades who remained, he also left like an arrow.

His wife, and even the child who has been born and is now more than three years old, are all his concerns, and they have always been concerned, and now they can finally meet.

Han Xin thought to himself, the pace was never faster than ever, he took the cable car to slide down the cave of the Nameless Cliff, and then he found the horses, rode the dust, and galloped in the direction of home.
