At about 6 p.m. on August 15, the news of Japan's unconditional surrender came through the National Government Radio. Citizens set off firecrackers and the joy was unprecedented. On the short and narrow gray wall of the Central News Agency, "Japan Surrendered" was posted.

A huge slogan. Several reporters drove tricycles and beat gongs wildly and circled the city to report to the citizens that Japan had invested in

The news of Japan's surrender and the victory of the Anti-Japanese War filled the streets with people clapping carnivally. On the evening of the same day, the "Japanese Surrender" bulletin published in the "National Gazette" was the first to arrive in the city center. Citizens rushed to buy, and the supply exceeded demand. The city's firecracker shops were doing great business, and the firecrackers were fired instantly.

Sold out. At night, firecrackers go off and searchlights from all directions light up, illuminating the city as if it’s daytime.

On August 15, in Yan'an, where the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army are located, thousands of people cheered after hearing the news of Japan's unconditional surrender. The streets were decorated with lights and colors, and blackboards everywhere reported the news of victory in large characters.

Bands and yangko teams from various government agencies and the masses set off one after another. At night, people tied up torches with firewood sticks and held a torch party.

In Changchun, Jilin, China, although the common people also heard the news of Japan's surrender, the Japanese troops filling the streets showed no signs of surrender and were still under the control of the Japanese. However, they would secretly celebrate at home with their wine glasses high.

The victory of the Anti-Japanese War, so what if the little devils know about it? They no longer dare to openly kill Chinese people, otherwise the media will release the news as quickly as possible, but the emperor cannot bear such a crime!

Mengjiang County, the Eighth Route Army Independent Division Headquarters, Chen Geng, Zhou Xihan, Yang Xiao and others were sitting next to the radio in the war room, quietly listening to this exciting news. When the emperor's heavy voice sounded, Yang Xiao

The emperor's words were translated word by word, but the last few words came out: "Declared to all countries in the world

Surrender!" The people in the room immediately went crazy! The hat flew into the air, and Chen Geng jumped so high: "I'm so fucking happy! The little Jaap finally surrendered! Brothers, today

In the evening, everyone has a holiday! All sentries have been withdrawn, and I want to reward the three armies! Let’s have a big feast to celebrate! Hahaha!”

Everyone present shed tears of joy with excitement! We finally won, which means that the Chinese people no longer have to be angry with the little devils!

Ito Musashi posed a difficult problem to Okamura Neiji. To surrender to the Chinese Communist Army, should he surrender to the Communist Army or to the Japanese?

Finally, Okamura Neiji issued an order. No matter who you surrender to, you must obey the emperor's order. Whoever comes first will surrender! No matter the communist army or the ***! Ito Musashi had long expected that the commander would do this, and secretly smiled

Said: "Just wait and see the fun this time! Come here, send telegrams to the Northeast Anti-Resistance Alliance Headquarters and the North China Theater Command respectively, and surrender to the Chinese *** Team in three days! Hahaha!..." Yingshan

Looking at him, the two burst into laughter!

"Report!" The guard walked into Chen Geng's war room with a telegram: "Headquarters called, asking the supreme commander of our independent division to enter Changchun in three days to accept the surrender of Ito Musashi's division!"

"Hahaha! You arrived very quickly. Okay, let's inform all units that we will arrive 200 meters outside Changchun City at four o'clock in the morning three days later! There must be no mistake!"

"It's the division commander!" The guard left, and Zhou Xihan walked in: "Old Chen, do you really believe that old guy Ito Musashi will surrender to us?"

Chen Geng wondered: "Don't be so pretentious and tell me your opinion!"

"Hey, my opinion is that Ito Musashi wants to take this opportunity to make the Kuomintang and the Communist Party of China fight against each other, and he will reap the benefits!"

"The Kuomintang and the Communist Party are fighting? What do you mean? Explain clearly!"

"The Emperor declares to the world to surrender to all countries, but don't forget that our China is very special. One country has two political parties. Ito Musashi will definitely make a big fuss. At the same time, he notifies the Anti-Alliance Headquarters and the North China Theater Command to send representatives respectively.

Go and accept his surrender. Think about it, will Chiang Kai-shek's troops let us accept it? When the Kuomintang and the Communist Party argue, he can just watch the joke from the sidelines, but maybe he will get into a cold fight!"

"Yes, then what do you think we should do?"

"Soldiers are very fast. Whoever goes into the city first will accept it first! We can no longer be polite to Chiang Kai-shek at this time. Once Changchun falls into the hands of the Communists, it will be difficult! If there is a fight between us in the future, we will pay a heavy price.

of!"

Chen Geng walked around the room a few times: "That's so right. It will make scholars more knowledgeable. Well, today I want to see who dares to compete with me for territory!"

"Don't think about it, it must be Zhou Ziyan's army! His defense area is the closest to Changchun!"

"Hahaha! Lao Zhou, I didn't say that, he won't get it from us in a desperate manner! But we have to prepare in advance, it will not look good if we fall out! Even though he helped us during the Anti-Japanese War, but

As soon as the little devil leaves, he has to turn to the police! Everybody

As the master, we can't blame others, can we? Inform the troops and set off tonight. I would rather be tired and hungry than be the first to enter Changchun! Can't we imitate Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu, who was killed by Liu Bang in the end?

I calculated it, got nothing, and even lost my life!"

"Yes! That's what you mean!" After dinner, Chen Geng mobilized all the troops and returned to the team. The independent division drove towards Changchun. A few hours later, they arrived at a hill outside Changchun City and camped on the spot, waiting for the moment of surrender.

arrival.

Three days later, at four o'clock in the morning, while the little Japs were still sleeping, Chen Geng's troops had already arrived at the bottom of the city and were waiting for Japan to surrender twenty meters outside the city urn. The little Japs guarding the city were still dozing off!

Chen Geng ordered the soldiers to line up in a square formation and wait for the little Japanese to come out!

At four o'clock in the morning, Chen Geng couldn't wait any longer. It was already dawn, and it was early in the summer. Chen Geng waved his hand: "bugler!"

"Yes!" The trumpeter ran over.

"Blow me the wake-up call! You're so mad, you're still sleeping at dawn, so go back to your hometown!"

The bugler hurriedly blew the reveille: "Du, doo, doo, doo, doo... da!" The loud reveille sounded over Changchun City, but there was no movement and the door was closed.

There is no one outside to defend the city, but there is a truce, so there is no need to defend the city!

"What a fool! You can't pretend to be a bear with me, can you? All the trumpeters must assemble!" The trumpeters all ran over.

"Listen to my command, prepare and blow!"

This time the noise was louder. More than a dozen trumpeters were blowing together. The sound was so clear and so loud that people could hear it clearly in villages ten miles away! Not long after, they saw a group of Japanese soldiers coming up from the tower, led by a man.

Looking down the crenellations, he shouted loudly: "Is this the Eighth Route Army under the city? Let your highest officer come out and talk to me!" As soon as the translator translated, what was heard below was clear!

Just as Chen Geng was about to go out, he was stopped by Zhou Xihan: "Be careful of fraud! The little devil has no good intentions, so we have to be careful!"

He shouted to the top: "People above, listen! General Ito please come out and answer!"

Who is the person above? Yingshan saw that the Eighth Route Army had an idea, and immediately replied: "I work for Chief of Staff Yingshan. May I ask where you work?"

"Hahaha! If General Ito is not sincere, then don't talk! You can't represent General Ito, he is the highest officer! You and I are equal! I am Zhou Xihan, political commissar of the Independent Division of the First Army of the Eighth Route Army! Let's

Your General Ito negotiates with our division commander on an equal footing, which shows your sincerity!"

Yingshan rolled his eyes, nodded and said: "Okay, please wait!" After a while, he saw a head appearing at the crenel, it was their arch-rival Ito Musashi!

Chen Geng wanted to kill him with one shot. He rode his war horse to the front of the team, took a microphone and shouted to the top: "I am Chen Geng, the commander of the independent division of the Eighth Route Army! Ito, hurry down and open the city gate. We

To take over the city defense of Changchun!"

Ito Musashi smiled and said: "Master Chen, I have admired you for a long time! You and I have been fighting for several years, and I haven't fought you enough! However, since His Majesty the Emperor has issued an edict to surrender to the Chinese government troops, I will definitely abide by the Emperor's order.

The decree is like your Chinese government troops surrendering! Don’t be anxious, there is still one day left anyway! I will assemble the troops immediately and hand over the weapons! Please wait a moment!"

After a while, no one came out. Just as Chen Geng was about to continue shouting, another army suddenly arrived, with bright clothes and straight military uniforms. The one at the front was General Zhou Ziyan.

Zhou Ziyan led the people to Chen Geng, lined up a queue, walked forward and said: "Brother Chen, why don't you give in to Laiwu? I haven't seen you in two years! How are you doing, Brother Chen?"

"Hahaha! Old man, you are really on time. By the way, what are you doing? You know we are going to liberate Changchun, come and take a look?"

Zhou Ziyan arrived: "Don't fight with me. We accept the surrender of the Japanese army on behalf of the National Government. Old man, why are you here?"

Chen Geng clasped his arms and said: "Old man, we are also the Chinese *** team! And since we arrived first, we should be the ones to pick up the city defense! What do you think?"

Zhou Ziyan smiled and said: "Brother Chen, you can't say that! The only legitimate government in the country now is the National Government! The National Government troops should come to take over the city defense! Whether it is the Eighth Route Army, the Anti-Japanese Alliance, or the New Fourth Army,

Aren’t they all in the order of battle of the National Revolutionary Army? Your Communist Army should also be under the control of the National Government!"

This is true at all. The original Eighth Route Army was the Eighth Route Army of the National Revolutionary Army, and the New Fourth Army and the Anti-Japanese Alliance came later. Strictly speaking, it should be like this. Chen Geng had Chen Geng’s reasoning: "Old man, I received

It was the telegram sent from the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army. The telegram

They asked our independent division to take over the city defense! And since you said it, we are a family, we are all in the National Revolutionary Army's battle order and establishment, so don't distinguish between you and me. I recognize the National Government, but we

Whoever comes first, or we should take over!"

Zhou Ziyan said: "What we received was an order from the commander-in-chief of the North China Theater of the National Army. Your Eighth Route Army must also obey the orders of the North China Theater. Soldiers should obey orders. It should be clear who is older and who is younger!"

"Ah! Old Zhou, since you said that, it is even more important for us to take over! Think about it, which is the larger defense area of ​​our independent division of the Eighth Route Army or yours? Old man, you are the brigade commander! I am the division commander.

, so you should obey the commander’s orders!”

Zhou Ziyan smiled and said: "Brother Chen, I think you are mistaken! I am a genuine major general and brigade commander! And you, the division commander, may not be able to wear the rank of general! You should be a subordinate!" This is correct!

, the military ranks of the Communist Party's troops are different from those of the Kuomintang. The division commander is equivalent to the Communist Party's colonel and brigade commander, but it is half a rank lower than others. The army commander is equivalent to a major general!

Chen Geng laughed loudly and said: "Old Zhou, we will not start a lawsuit with you. In any case, it is necessary for our independent division to take over Changchun City today!"

Zhou Ziyan said: "Since Mr. Wang said this, I'm sorry. The Kuomintang and the Communist Party cooperated to drive the little devils out of China! Now that the little devils have surrendered, they will be under the jurisdiction of the National Government! Brothers, enter the city.

!”

"Wait a minute! Hehe, Lao Zhou, you want to be tough, don't you? You also know my Chen Geng's troops! I don't think your 38th Brigade can defeat us! Don't make things worse! Do you think we, Lao Chen, are vegetarians?

Are you there? Take a look!" He pointed around and saw that the independent division had formed an encirclement, surrounding the entire 38th Brigade!

Zhou Ziyan shouted: "Chen Geng! What are you going to do? You have to think carefully! We are a serious ace unit of the National Army! You can scare the devils with this trick, but it will not work on us! We have to fight a war.

?”

Chen Geng laughed and said, "Just fight. Do you think I'm afraid of you? As long as I give an order, your people will turn into a hornet's nest. Do you believe it or not?"

"Chen Geng, you..." Zhou Ziyan was about to fall out, but was stopped by Chief of Staff Mei Zuwang: "In that case" the two sides immediately formed a confrontation. Zhou Ziyan laughed and said: "Brother Chen,

Why is this necessary? Aren’t you making things difficult for your brother? How will I explain it later?”

"It doesn't matter, you can go to the commander of the theater to sue us! We are all soldiers, and it is the duty of soldiers to obey orders. You have your superiors, and I have mine! Let them solve the problem afterwards! When it comes to fighting, we

alone

From the Red Army to the Eighth Route Army, from the Independent Regiment to the Independent Division, we have fought more battles than you have practiced! The number of Japanese who have been annihilated is several times yours! This is especially true for those who died! Rewards should be based on merit.

My troops are entering the city!"

Mei Zuwang smiled slightly and said: "Okay! Then please worry about Brother Chen! Brothers, withdraw!"
