Chapter 212: Victory Day and the Highest Medal of the Anti-Japanese War!
August 15, 1945 at 12 o'clock sharp, "the longest day in Japanese history".
Emperor Hirohito read the "Edict of the End of the War" to all the people on the radio, which was the first time that the voice of the Japanese emperor was broadcast to the Japanese public, and although the emperor's recording was called "Yuyin", the Japanese people found that the so-called "Yuyin Broadcasting" was written in the Japanese Chinese precept style (the Japanese method of interpreting Chinese according to Japanese grammar), which made it difficult for ordinary people to understand its contents, which made them sad, depressed, and crazy, and found that the emperor spoke "human words".
The emperor is a man, not a god.
The first time I heard the voice of the head of state, it felt like a collapse of faith.
After the broadcast, 34 generals chose to commit suicide by seppuku.
At the same time, the war in the Pacific theater ended.
It's just that China hasn't yet.
In the Asian land theater, the clashes between the Japanese army and the armed forces of various places did not completely stop, and a considerable part of the invading Japanese army refused to surrender to the Chinese Kuomintang, the Chinese Communist Party, and the Soviet Red Army in the northeast, and continued to carry out various military operations.
The time finally came half a month later, on September 2, Tokyo Bay, Japan.
Battleship "USS Missouri".
After the new Japanese Foreign Minister Shigemitsu Aoi and Chief of Staff Yoshijiro Umezu signed the instrument of surrender on behalf of the Japanese Government, the representatives of the Allied Powers, including General Xu Yongchang of China, who accepted the surrender.
On September 3, the Nationalist Government decided that this day would be the day to celebrate the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japan.
This day is also recognized by the whole world as the World Anti-*** War Victory Day.
Japan's war of aggression against China finally ended.
This was Emperor Hirohito's second defeat against Chinese – the first defeat was in 1917, when he was still the crown prince, and witnessed the Japanese national team in the Far Eastern Games for the first time, participate in international competitions for the first time, and be beaten 5-0 by the Chinese team in their first appearance......
It's just that war is never as simple as football, just counting the balls that fall into the nets of both sides -
China, as the victor, lost too much, too much, too much in the war!
Lu Zhuhu alone lost Fu Baolu, Huang Meishun, Jin Guidi, Wang Runlan, and Li Sen...... Too many teammates!
Their blood was sprinkled all over the motherland, and even died in other places!
However, in this land, in this sky, there will always be the shadow of their battle!
If Lu Poyu brought something to this era - except for the 100,000 pirates he led two mecha to slaughter with his own hands, it was to give the people at the bottom a little more backbone and pride!
People will think that there was once a young man who danced with long sleeves in the axis of ***, picking up masters all over the world to prove that the Chinese are the best ones.
It's like later generations said that Huo Yuanjia beat the Russian Hercules.
Although Huo Yuanjia did not really fight Russian Hercules in history.
But in the world where Lu Poyu appeared, he did beat up Japan, France, Germany, Italy, and the British media.
If the youth is like this, the country should not perish!
On September 3, 1945, China's eight-year War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression finally won the victory, President Jiang of the Central Powers of the China-India-Burma Theater, Supreme Commander of the Chinese Theater, Chairman of the Nationalist Government, and Chairman of the Military Commission of the Allied Powers, dressed in a military uniform, slowly walked out of the official residence with a civilization staff in hand, and the streets of Chongqing were already densely crowded.
A beautiful girl in a cheongsam, a student in a white shirt and glasses, a peddler who puts down her top hat, and a hawker who rolls up her trouser legs......
The people of Chongqing greeted him with thunderous cheers!
Everywhere I walked slowly, there were sunny smiling faces and raised fists:
Victory, we are finally victorious!
A smile was also on Principal Jiang's face, and countless gloom seemed to have passed today. The top of life.
After Hirohito's jade voice was broadcast, President Chiang delivered a speech on the radio entitled "Letter to the Military and Civilians of the Whole Country and the People of the World on the Victory of the Anti-Japanese War":
Today, our War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression has been won, and the truth that "justice must prevail over might" has finally been proved by him, which also shows the success of the historical mission of our national revolution. Our belief that China struggled for eight years in a period of darkness and despair has only been realized today. ”
"Although the suffering and sacrifices suffered by our compatriots in the past eight years since the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression have increased year by year, the belief in the victory of the War of Resistance has also been strengthened day by day; In particular, our compatriots in the occupied areas, who have endured the darkness of endless destruction and humiliation, have been completely liberated today and have seen the blue sky again. In the past few days, the main significance of the cheers and joys of the military and people in various localities is that the compatriots in the occupied areas have been liberated. ”
"Now we have won the war of resistance, but it cannot be regarded as the final victory. I believe that mankind all over the world and my compatriots must hope that this war will be the last war in which the civilized nations of the world will participate.
"If this war is the last in the history of mankind, then our compatriots, although they have suffered indescribable cruelty and humiliation, we believe that we will all not count the size of the price and the harvest sooner or later. In times of darkness and despair, we, the Chinese people, uphold our nation's consistent traditional spirit of loyalty, courage, benevolence, and great perseverance, and know that all sacrifices made for justice and humanity will be rewarded. ”
"I, the Chinese compatriots, must know that 'not remembering the old evils' and 'being kind to others' are the highest and most noble virtues of our national tradition. We have always declared that we only regard Japan's militaristic warlords as enemies, and not the Japanese people. Today the enemy has been defeated by our allies, and of course we must strictly oblige him to faithfully carry out all the terms of surrender -
"However, we do not want to take revenge, let alone insult the innocent people of the enemy country, we can only show mercy to them who have been fooled and persecuted by his ** warlord, so that they can extricate themselves from their mistakes and sins. You must know that if we reply to the enemy's past atrocities with atrocities, and to reply to their former wronged sense of superiority with slavery, then it is never the purpose of our righteous teachers to repay their wrongs and never end. ”
In the subsequent meritorious awards, President Jiang awarded the highest honor to a sports hero who "disappeared" or "died" in the Anti-Japanese War-
Order of National Glory!
The meaning of the Order of National Light is similar to that of the Order of the Blue Sky and the White Sun, which is awarded to soldiers who resist foreign aggression and defend the country, but it may be that President Jiang felt that the Order of the Blue Sky and White Sun was issued too much and could not reflect his special status, so in 1937, he issued another higher-level medal - in fact, it was only intended to be issued to himself, which was the Order of National Light.
Before the Kuomintang withdrew from the mainland, only the bald Jiang himself and Fu Zuoyi got it, (after the Nationalist army was defeated and retreated to Taiwan, three more people were awarded: Zhou Zhirou, Yu Dawei, He Yingqin, and Chen Cheng never got it, so there were only five in total.) )
For awarding this medal to a person who has never been in battle, some people also expressed a whisper - (Lu Zhuhu: Obviously there are 100,000 Japanese heads in his hands!) A real army of 100,000 youths! )
However, the government's opinion is that:
Without this person, there is no way to strengthen the courage, perseverance and courage of the people.
At this time, it was the time when the Anti-Japanese War was victorious, the great success was completed, and the whole country was jubilant, and President Jiang, who was a "diary power", did not forget to be modest on this day:
"Wasted sixty, horse-toothed and long-lasting, did not repay the kindness of his mother, failed to fulfill his loyalty and filial piety to the country, the people suffered, the bereaved family was disregarded, asked themselves, thought for a long time at night, and was ashamed and landless."
Lu Zhuhu looked back at the eight years of his limited participation and felt that he should be worthy of what he did that year.
