Surrender (2)
A shuttle bullet flew above the heads of the group of Japanese soldiers shouting in front, and the Japanese prisoners of war suddenly fell silent! "Quiet!" Bangs shouted in Japanese, "Say anything, if you dare to make trouble, I don't mind killing you all!" After shouting, the Japanese army remained silent!" Your Excellency, General! "A Japanese officer with the rank of Osaku walked out. Bangs looked at him and asked, "What's the matter, say!" "Your Excellency, that's right. Although we were defeated, it is also appropriate to disarm and surrender, but many of our officers' swords are handed down from our ancestors, and they are all personal belongings, and we hope to keep them! If we lose our ancestral sword, we'd rather kill ourselves by disembowelment! This Dazuo said. Hehe! After Liu Hai heard what this Dazuo said, he sneered a few times! Mr. Dazuo, may I ask if your combat knives are used in combat, and which of your combat knives has not killed Chinese, maybe it does belong to your private property, but they are all your murder weapons for killing Chinese, if I surrender, will you allow me to keep my own private guns? Your statement is simply ridiculous! This matter is not negotiable, you must hand over all your weapons unconditionally, or you will give your lives! After Liu Hai finished speaking, he turned to the Chinese soldiers behind him and said, "From now on, those who trespass into the camp will be killed, and those who make loud noises will be killed!" Kill those who do not obey discipline! ”
"Fuck, a lot of good faces!" Bangs are full of anger! "Master Liu, what do you mean?" Liao Yaoxiang asked. "These guys said that the war knives belonged to their personal belongings, and they hoped that they could keep them, otherwise they would commit suicide by disembowelment!" Bangs said. "Humph! The army of the defeated army, there are so many demands! Battalion Commander Guo, tell those Japanese that they should cut their stomachs and leave their knives behind! Liao Yaoxiang said. Be! The commander of the POW camp agreed. Commander Liao, even so, I still suggest that Okamura Ningji, that old miscellaneous hair, collect the command knife, these Japanese are desperate, and they are in a hurry, and they will really mutini and make trouble! Bangs said. That's right, it's all a victory, don't take the soldier's life because of this! Liao Yaoxiang said.
Soon, Okamura Ningji was called over, and Liao Yaoxiang told him to either collect all the swords or kill them all, and then take the swords from them and let them choose for themselves! Okamura knew that some officers regarded their swords as their lives, and he also knew that this matter was not easy to handle, but now there was nothing he could do! Okamura Ninji walked into the prisoner of war camp with a few staff officers and began to persuade his subordinates to hand over their war knives! After about two hours, Okamura Ninji walked out, and when he came out, Okamura Ninji was followed by dozens of Japanese soldiers, who were carrying more than a dozen corpses and hundreds of war knives! "Your Excellency General, here are all the swords, please take a look at Your Excellency General, those dozen officers chose to commit suicide in order to bear the responsibility for their loss of the sword!" Okamura Ninji said. "Where's your sword?" Bangs asked. "His sword is still being kept for him, and it won't be handed over until tomorrow's surrender ceremony!" Liao Yaoxiang said beside him. "It seems that most people who know the times still have the choice, okay, you can also go back and prepare for tomorrow's surrender ceremony!" Liao Yaoxiang said.
After solving a little turmoil with the Japanese prisoners of war, Liu Hai and others were also ready to accept the surrender of the Japanese army! The entire surrender arrangement was very simple: At 9 o'clock on September 9, 1945, the auditorium of the Central Army Military Academy in Nanjing, where Okamura Ninji, commander-in-chief of the Japanese Chinese Dispatch Army, signed a surrender document expressing his unconditional surrender to He Yingqin, representative of the Allied Powers and commander-in-chief of the Chinese Army General Headquarters. One copy in Japanese in the Japanese surrender document, and the ceremony lasted 15 minutes. In the surrendered Nanjing Central Army Military Academy, Liao Yaoxiang's Sixth Army and Liu Hai's Fourth Division, all officers with the rank of major and above lined up to participate! On the seats in the auditorium, all the officers of the New Sixth Army at the level of major generals were seated, and above the chief were He Yingqin, a first-class army general of the National Revolutionary Army, Liao Yaoxiang, a lieutenant general of the New Sixth Army of the National Revolutionary Army, and Liu Hai, a lieutenant general and division commander of the Fourth Honorary Division of the National Revolutionary Army! The chief of the Japanese army is the commander-in-chief of the Japanese forces in China, the Japanese army general Okamura Ninji, and his adjutant and chief of staff! When arranging the surrender ceremony, in order to show the majesty of the victors, the personnel in charge of arranging all the major officers outside stood on both sides of the road with a rifle to increase the pressure on Okamura Ninji! In addition to these, Liu Hai also arranged eight cannons, and after Okamura Ningji submitted the surrender letter, he used these eight cannons to symbolize the eight-year War of Resistance against Japan, and also used the eight cannons to announce the victory of the War of Resistance against Japan, and also used these eight cannons to comfort all the Chinese soldiers who died on the battlefield in the past eight years.
Everything was arranged, and when the next day, He Yingqin, Liu Hai, Liao Yaoxiang, and the major generals and officers who entered the auditorium were all wearing new general uniforms, all in good spirits and excited! Indeed, since the Lugou Bridge Incident, it has been a full eight years, how many Chinese soldiers have been fighting one after another, how many people have been displaced, and even lost their lives, and it took eight full eight years to get today's victory, how can it not make people excited, how can it not make people happy! At half past eight, Okamura Ninji walked into the gate of the Central Army Military Academy in Nanjing with his staff team! Colonel-ranking officers stood on both sides, each armed with brand-new rifles, and the sun shone on their bayonets, shooting a blinding light. Okamura Ninji and his entourage walked into the auditorium with their heads down, and after a series of procedures, Okamura Ninji lowered his head and handed out the surrender letter with both hands!

"Brush!" The Japanese officers led by Okamura Ninji unsheathed their swords and handed them out with both hands! When their swords were taken away, Okamura Ninji and the others walked out of the auditorium with their heads bowed again! As they walked out of the auditorium, eight cannons began to fire one after the other, each of which recorded this historic moment! He Yingqin walked out of the auditorium, and all the general-level officers behind him followed. He Yingqin walked to the door of the auditorium and delivered his speech loudly: I would like to inform the compatriots of the whole country and people from all over the world that the signing ceremony of Japan's surrender in the Chinese theater was successfully completed in Nanjing at 9 a.m. on 9 July, and this was the most significant day in Chinese history and the result of the eight-year War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression.
