During World War II, Japan launched a war of aggression against our country, after fourteen years of arduous resistance, our soldiers finally drove away the Japanese invaders, as the victorious country our soldiers confiscated their weapons and sabers, because at that time Japanese soldiers believed in the spirit of Bushido, so the saber symbolized their status and dignity, after the defeat, the Japanese repeatedly wanted to redeem the saber, but were rejected by our army.
During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, a Japanese officer was very brutal, not only sinister and cunning on the battlefield, but also brutally killed innocent civilians, and many soldiers of our army hated him to the bone. At that time, there was a soldier in our army named Hou Yongsheng, who was a famous sharpshooter in the army, and as long as he was aimed at, it was absolutely impossible to survive, and Hou Yongsheng hated the Japanese officer's actions incomparably, so he decided to find an opportunity to assassinate him.
The Japanese officer occupied a local residence and lived in it every night, so Hou Yongsheng ambushed the Japanese soldier on the way home, and after a long period of observation and ambush, Hou Yongsheng finally found the opportunity to shoot him to death, when the officer only brought two retinues, Hou Yongsheng removed them all and took the officer's saber.
Later, the superior rewarded this saber to Hou Yongsheng, knowing that the victory of the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression was founded, he always treasured this saber, and later the Japanese wanted to redeem this saber from Hou Yongsheng with 200,000 yuan, but he strictly refused, in order to make the Japanese have no opportunity to take advantage of, Hou Yongsheng donated this saber to the museum, so that it will forever become the evidence of the Japanese invasion of China.
