After the defeat of the Japanese army, there was a "tenacious" army hiding under the Chinese ground, and its end was even more cruel!
At noon on August 15, 1945, Japan announced its unconditional surrender and won the War of Resistance Against Japan. However, although Japan has announced its surrender, this does not mean that the war is over, let alone that the Japanese army has happily returned to their country. In fact, after Japan's surrender, there were still many Japanese troops in China.
After Japan's defeat, there was also a "tenacious" army hiding under China, and its outcome was very cruel
China's anti-fascist alliance with the world has paid a great price for the elimination of these stubborn enemies.
Among them, in Dongning County, Heilongjiang, there is a Japanese fortress: Starting from Suiyang Town in the north of Yanwangdian and south to Ganhezi, the fortress is more than 110 kilometers wide and more than 50 kilometers deep in front, once known as the "Eastern Maginot Line", and was recognized by the Kwantung Army as a "first-class position on the border". Dongning Fort was built in the spring of 1935 by the Japanese at a huge cost of manpower and material resources. On January 10, 1933, the Japanese Kan Naoto army led by Yoshiro Ishida occupied Dongning Prefecture. In order to build the fort, the Japanese army deceptively recruited workers from Places such as Shandong, Hebei and Yushu, Jilin in China, some of whom were Chinese prisoners of war.
Of course, the workers did not return to their homes, but most of the Chinese workers were secretly killed by the Japanese after the completion of the project.
According to the "Chronicle of Dongning County", in 1941, the Japanese army stationed three divisions, an independent brigade and a border defense force in Dongning County, with a total strength of 130,000 people, and the population of Dongning County at that time was less than 35,000 people.
After the japanese surrendered, there were more than a thousand Japanese troops here, hiding in the Dongning Fortress. These Japanese troops did not surrender, with weapons in their hands, from time to time out to rob, kill people and set fires, it is really a headache: Therefore, in order to completely eliminate this remnant of the Japanese army, the Soviet Union mobilized heavy troops to break through the Dongning fortress and capture these Japanese troops.
However, I didn't expect Dongning Fortress to be very strong:
In addition, Fort Dongning was equipped with many heavy weapons, and the Soviet army fought several battles, but its own losses were great. If you keep fighting, you will lose too much. So the Soviets changed their strategy, since hard does not eat soft ah, let's change the way, simple down!
You know, these Japanese turtles are in the fortress of Dongning, can't eat and wear warm, and have to guard against the Soviet attack outside: Now that the Soviets have come to persuade them to surrender, they will soon be able to have good food, have comfortable beds to sleep, and the gap between the two sides is huge. Thinking of this, the Soviets sent a Japanese prisoner to persuade him to step down.
However, to everyone's surprise, the Japanese prisoner actually went into the house to persuade him to go downstairs, but he did not expect him to retreat and stand firmly inside the fortress to resist the Soviet Union.
The Soviets were too blind, what was going on?
Ah, understand, it must be that the position of our people is not firm, and has been assimilated in the past: Then we will send a Chinese this time, and he will definitely complete the task successfully!! Chinese they sent, who had cooked for the Japanese in Fortress, were familiar to both sides. The Soviets thought it was all right, but they didn't expect Chinese killed by the Japanese soon after.
So far, this operation has failed again.
The Soviets did not give up, they said that since they could not get in, they could go out, so a group of people outside the Dongning Fortress explained their policy to the Japanese and persuaded them to surrender. But the Japanese not only did not listen, but also wanted to persuade the people to shoot. Now, the Soviets are completely mad!! The Soviet powers can't deal with a thousand of you??
So the Soviets brought thousands of liters of gas and lit it in the hole.
