Chapter 614: Japan Surrenders
The audience was ecstatic and ran into the streets to cheer for victory.
After the famous poet heard the news of the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, he resolutely shaved off the beautiful hair that had been left for 7 years.
On the same day, the "Chengdu Evening News" reported on the scene of the Chengdu people celebrating their victory under the headline "On the Night of Victory, Chengdu Carnival": When they heard the news of Japan's surrender, the crowd on the street was surging like a torrent, and many people were running around the street with long strings of firecrackers, beating gongs and drums, and some took out the washbasin and slapped and beat it indiscriminately.
Outside the issue of various newspapers in Chengdu, the citizens are all vying to buy first, and some buy 1 copy for 500 yuan higher; Many people wanted to buy it as a souvenir of the end of the Second World War.
Firecrackers were set off in many shops and major streets until midnight, and there were still tourists cheering and celebrating.
At night, in the ancient city of Xi'an, people set off firecrackers everywhere, and the vicinity of the bell tower became a center of joy. When the soldiers couldn't buy firecrackers, they fired their machine guns into the air to celebrate.
On this night, free tea is served at the teahouse and free wine is served at the tavern.
The watermelon seller cut the half-cut red gourd like the sun flag into slices and entertained passers-by for free.
On the morning of August 15, the highest national flag of Pearl was raised on the top of the Pearl International Hotel, and thousands of people raised their heads to salute.
The whole city of Mingzhu was closed, the sound of firecrackers was incessant all day long, and people spontaneously marched on the streets to cheer the liberation and victory of the Chinese nation.
In the anti-Japanese base areas of Jin-Cha-Ji, Jin-Sui, Hebei, Shandong, and Henan behind enemy lines, when the government and newspaper offices in the border areas received the news of Japan's unconditional surrender, they organized propaganda teams to go to the nearby rural areas overnight to spread the news of the victory, and rushed to print and distribute leaflets to various places.
People rushed to tell each other, and groups of people cheered and talked to celebrate the arrival of victory.
On August 15, in Yan'an, where the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army were located, 10,000 people rejoiced after hearing the news of Japan's unconditional surrender.
The streets were lit up with lights, and blackboard newspapers everywhere reported the news of the victory in large print.
The bands and Yangko teams of various organs and the masses set out to march one after another.
In the evening, torches were tied with sticks and torches were processed.
On the same day, the old man made a radio speech to the military and civilians of the whole country and people from all over the world.
He said excitedly: "Our truth that 'justice must prevail over might' has finally been finally proved to the end,...... Our belief that China struggled for eight years in a period of darkness and despair has only been realized today. ”
He pointed out: "We have always declared that we regard only the Japanese militaristic warlords as enemies, and not the Japanese people, and that today the enemy army has been defeated by our allies, and of course we must strictly oblige him to faithfully carry out all the terms of surrender, but we do not attempt to retaliate." "In order to celebrate the victory of the anti-Japanese resistance, the national holiday is 3 days, the people carnival, and the nightmare is over!
On August 15, the United States solemnly celebrated peace.
The long-awaited day of victory in the war against Japan has finally arrived. There will be no more wars. The people of New York spontaneously took to the streets to sing and dance.
In San Diego, drunken sailors smashed shop windows.
On the highways in the central and western regions, peasants, who have always been serious and depressed, constantly honk their car horns, like teenagers who have violated the law and discipline.
When the boys return to their homeland, they may feel that the girls have changed.
During the war, they worked side by side with the men in factories, forming an independent character that they had never seen before. But the letters that flew abroad said, "Come back, let us build a family like our elders did." ”
Europe has far fewer things to celebrate on this day than the United States. Warsaw, Berlin, Paris, and London were all in tatters and demobilized by six years of shelling, and hunger gripped Europe, Asia, and Africa.
Let us never forget the 50 million people who died.
According to Zhou Lin's order, Zhoujiadao had a three-day holiday, and all the residents on the island received ten dollars each, and this money was paid by Zhou Lin.
At this time, Zhou Lin was sitting with the US generals, and more than a dozen generals, with smiles on their faces, discussed the matter of stationing in Tokyo.
"General Zhou Lin, what do you want?" The admiral presiding over the meeting asked.
Zhou Lin replied: "In this world, there are not many enemies left, I beg the general, let me end my grievances." ”
"Good! He is a hero, and he will repay him if he has revenge and kindness. A major general said.
The general smiled and said to Zhou Lin: "The US government will not agree to you killing the enemy as an occupier to take revenge, because we are also afraid of people's words." ”
Zhou Lin sat down disappointed, he had long thought that the U.S. government would not disregard its reputation like this.
"But," the admiral said, turning his head, and everyone's eyes lit up.
"However, Tokyo is too chaotic right now, and there are burning, killing, and looting everywhere. Many dignitaries and nobles were wiped out, how can there be more prince's mansion? We American soldiers are too busy, and we are not Japanese caretakers......"
Zhou Lin stood up excitedly: "Thank you, sir!" ”
After returning to the station, Zhou Lin immediately called a meeting of several army commanders.
"How many people are sent around the Prince's Palace?" Zhou Lin asked.
A military commander replied, "Young Master, we have sent a special mission over. ”
Zhou Lin lit a cigarette: "Is there anything unusual in the Prince's Mansion?" ”
"Yes! They dismissed more than 20 people in three groups and tried to go to various parts of Japan to hide, but we caught them. A military commander said.
"What about the people who were caught?" Zhou Lin asked, he knew the result, but he still asked.
"Young Master, we will definitely not keep your roots."
Zhou Lin nodded: "The special agent group of the mercenary regiment will follow me to the prince's mansion." ”
On the night of August 15, 1945, Zhou Lin led 2,000 men to surround the Japanese Prince's Palace.
When Zhou Lin stood in front of the old lady of the prince's mansion, a pair of enemies officially met.
"My biggest regret is that I didn't kill you." The old lady sat down in a chair and asked, "Can you tell me, my husband, that my son died at your hands?" ”
Zhou Lin looked at the old lady of the prince and said, "They really didn't die at my hands, they died at the hands of the Chinese. ”
The old lady nodded: "I believe it!" But the hatred between you and me will be passed down from generation to generation. Until one perished. ”
After speaking, blood flowed from the corners of the old lady's mouth, it turned out that when Zhou Lin's people surrounded the prince's mansion, she had already taken the poison.
The people of the mercenary regiment searched the prince's mansion, except for some servants, the people of the prince's mansion were not there, and they had long since left.
Counting the clan list of the Prince's Mansion, it was found that twenty-eight children had left the Prince's Mansion.
Twenty-five people were caught and killed by the mercenary group outside.
There were two men and a woman who escaped, because they were taken away by the servants, and they were both five or six years old, so the mercenary group didn't pay attention.
Zhou Lin looked at the old lady who had closed her eyes and sneered: "Your husband, your son, and you are all defeated by my subordinates. Am I still afraid of your grandson? ”
The next day, news came out of Tokyo: all 53 people in the Prince's Palace, including the old lady, committed suicide by poisoning. And twenty-eight people of the third generation of the Prince's Mansion are missing.
