In order to successfully complete the surrender of the Japanese army's weapons, the First Theater set up a committee for receiving surrenders, appointing Fan Hanjie as chairman of the committee, Li Kungang as vice chairman of the committee, Pei Changhui, Liu Maoen, Lu Futing, Ma Fawu, Li Xingzhong, Wang Zhonglian, Zhang Yaoming, and Geng Youlin as members.
At the same time, the First Theater Committee for Handling Surrender also formulated acceptance measures: (1) They were to be handled separately in the order of Zhengzhou, Luoyang, Kaifeng, Xinxiang, and other districts. (2) Order the Japanese army to concentrate on designated locations. (3) Draw up the acceptance time of each city: Zhengzhou shall be handed over to the Fifth Fifth Division before September 17 to complete the defense; Kaifeng shall be handed over to the Thirty-eighth Army before September 20; Xinxiang Qian forty Army shall be handed over after the arrival of the Handover, and the date shall be set separately. (4) After the handover of the various regions, the security shall be the responsibility of our army, and the Japanese army may only send guards to its garrison. (5) After receiving defense in various places, if the Japanese armed forces and vehicles need to pass or enter, they must first notify our garrison. (6) The Japanese mine-laying area should be cleared or drawn in advance and handed over to the receiving troops. The acceptance method also made detailed provisions on the armament and ammunition of the Japanese army.
At 9:00 a.m. on September 22, Lieutenant General Hu Zongnan, commander of the First Theater of Operations, accepted the surrender ceremony in Zhengzhou on behalf of the Japanese army, lieutenant general Takashi, commander of the Twelfth Army.

Lieutenant General (Takashi Takashi Takashi Takashi), commander of the Twelfth Army of the Japanese Army
September 22, 1945, 9 a.m.
In Zhengzhou, Republic of China
After Takashi signed and sealed the "Order to Receive Permit," the First Theater immediately ordered its subordinate units to enter the Japanese defense area for defense.
According to the "Order of the Commander-in-Chief of the First Theater of the Chinese Theater" (Zongzi No. 1) dated September 22, "all air force ground service personnel, airfield stations, equipment, fuel, aviation equipment, warehouses, etc. of the Air Force in Luoyang, Zhengzhou, Kaifeng, Xinxiang and other places have made six copies of the album on the spot and handed them over to the commander-in-chief to the personnel of the China Aviation Commission for acceptance."
In addition, according to the "Order of the Commander-in-Chief of the First Theater of the Chinese Theater" (Zongzi No. 3) of September 27, in Xinxiang Territory, "the traffic security of the New Railway between Yangwu County And Zhang Lizhuang (north of Kaifeng) and Xiaoji Town (both not included) will be handed over to the first road of the Chinese Army's new formation, Pang Bingxun Department (now in Kaifeng City), and the handover will be completed on October 2, and the Japanese officers and men who were originally stationed south of the old Yellow River will be concentrated in Kaifeng after the handover, and those who were originally stationed north of the old Yellow River will be concentrated in Xinxiang, and all the concentrations will be completed by October 4. "The traffic security of the Pinghan Railway between Xinxiang City Defense and Xiaoji Town and Li Shitun (both included) was handed over to Li Yichen, commander of the 40th Army of the Chinese Army (now stationed in Xinxiang) and the commander of the Jinyu Border Region, to be replaced by the handover on October 1. After the Japanese officers and men surrendered to Xinxiang, they were concentrated before October 3. "The yellow river iron bridge garrison and the traffic guard between Xiaomengzhai (five kilometers northwest of Zhengzhou) and Xiaoji Town (both not included) will be replaced by the Eighth Fifth Army of the Chinese Army (now stationed in Yuege), and the handover will be completed on October 1, and the Japanese officers and men who were originally stationed south of the Yellow River will be concentrated in Zhengzhou after the handover, and those who were originally stationed north of the Yellow River will be concentrated in Xinxiang, and all the concentrations will be completed by October 3." "The areas where Japanese officers and soldiers are concentrated ... The Xinxiang were prescribed by Lieutenant General Ma Fawu, commander of the 40th Army and commander of the Chinese Army. ”
On October 2, the Japanese troops stationed in Xinxiang held a surrender ceremony. Hu Zongnan, commander of the First Theater of Operations, Sun Lianzhong, and other senior members of the Nationalist army attended the surrender ceremony. On September 8, the 40th Army of the 11th Theater of Operations Mafa 5 (Commander sun Lianzhong of the 11th Theater and Deputy Commander Ma Fawu) of the 11th Theater of Operations had arrived in Xinxiang in advance, and was ready to accept the defense of Xinxiang by the Japanese army.
The surrendered commander of the Xinxiang Theater is Major General Chen Wen, chief of staff of the First Army of the Chinese Revolutionary Army, and the representative of the Surrender of the Japanese Army is Major General Masao Iida, commander of the Sixth Independent Guard.
Chen Wenzong (1895-1985), also known as Zuo Wu, Zuo Wu, Zi Junwen, alias Fengchang, a native of Xiamen, Fujian. In April 1929, he was admitted to the 22nd Infantry Section of the Japanese Army Non-Commissioned Officer School. During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, "at the behest of Mr. Chiang Kai-shek, he planned to call on young people to join the army for the Anti-Japanese Armageddon, and at the same time, the "conscription slogan" was "one inch of mountains and rivers, one inch of blood, one hundred thousand young people and one hundred thousand troops" (Chen Wen's general language), which inspired the morale of countless Chinese in the War of Resistance. Because of his patriotic acts of resistance in the "Battle of Songhu" and the "Battle of Taierzhuang", in 2005, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China posthumously awarded him the commemorative medal of "the 60th Anniversary of the Victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression".
Masao Iida (1891–1968), a native of Yamaguchi Prefecture, Japan, served as the commander of the 213rd Infantry Regiment of the 33rd Division of the Japanese Army, the commander of the Tianjin Wing, and the commander of the Nagoya Wing. At the Japanese Army Non-Commissioned Officer School, he was the senior of Chen Wenzong.
In the end, the friendship of the same window cannot be compared with the national interests they represent. The robbers always had to pay the price for their unconvincing behavior, and China had been completely awakened by the shameless behavior of Japan, a neighbor with water, and stood up straight.
After the surrender ceremony, "Major General Chen Shengquan, deputy superintendent of the (first) theater military station, was responsible for receiving the surrender of Japanese weapons in the Xinxiang area" (Order of the Commander-in-Chief of the First Theater of the Chinese Theater of Operations on October 10).
During their stay in Xinxiang, Sun Lianzhong and Hu Zongnan received Masao Iida and left Xinxiang one after another after instructing them on relevant matters. Sun Lianzhong arrived in Beiping on the 9th and presided over the surrender ceremony of the Japanese army in North China held at the Taihe Hall of the Forbidden City the next day.
On October 19, the Japanese troops stationed in Xinxiang began to disarm, and by October 24, the disarmament was completed. There were 8,509 Japanese officers and men who surrendered in Xinxiang, including 257 generals, 287 prospective corporals, and 7,265 soldiers. There are also 62 expatriates.
The Xinxiang Command of the Eighth Region under the jurisdiction of the General Headquarters of the Chinese Air Force (Commander Lieutenant Colonel Hou Balun) is responsible for the surrender of the Japanese Air Force in the Xinxiang area and the reception of weapons and equipment and various aviation facilities. A total of fifteen Japanese aircraft were received, including five fighters, three bombers, six reconnaissance aircraft, and one trainer aircraft.
"The Japanese army will be allowed to return to its hometown after disarming." ("U.S.-China-Britain-Potsdam Proclamation" of July 26, 1945) Accordingly, the Chinese Army Headquarters and the Ministry of Military Affairs stipulated that all theaters should form the Japanese Unarmed Officers and Soldiers Management Office (soon renamed "Japanese Unarmed Officers and Soldiers Concentration Camp"), and Li Kungang served as the chief of the Japanese Unarmed Officers and Soldiers Management Office in the First Theater. There is a regional management office in Zhengzhou, Xinxiang, Luoyang and Kaifeng.
Mr. Chen Wen is the director of the Shingo Japanese Unarmed Officers and Soldiers Management Institute. The main task of the management post was to manage the Japanese army after the unconditional surrender and disarmament until repatriation. The specific teaching projects and management methods of each management office are implemented in accordance with the outline stipulated by the Ministry of Military Affairs.
On November 17, 1945, the first repatriation ship set sail from the port of Tanggu in Tianjin, opening the prelude to the repatriation of Japanese prisoners of war and overseas Chinese in the Chinese theater.
On March 27, 1946, the personnel of the Sixth Independent Guard Command departed from Xinxiang by train, passed through Xuzhou to Shanghai, and returned to Japan by boat on April 6.
In April 1946, all 72,740 surrendered officers and soldiers (including 760 expatriates) of the Japanese army concentrated in cities along the Pinghan and Longhai railways in Henan were repatriated. On August 21, more than 2 million Japanese prisoners and Japanese overseas Chinese in China were repatriated.
The Japanese army, which was full of evil and notorious, under the illumination of the "humanitarian spirit" and the belief of "repaying grievances with virtue" of the Chinese Nationalist Government, left China, which was already suffering from countless wounds and souls.
What is the war left for the Xinxiang people facing the scene of victory in the War of Resistance? In addition to the ruins of broken walls, fortress tombs, bunkers, and huge aircraft nests, there are also cold and heart-wrenching figures - during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Xinxiang suffered 40,039 direct casualties and 683535 indirect casualties (according to the "Remembering - Xinxiang War of Resistance" compiled by the Party History Research Office of the Xinxiang Municipal Party Committee of the Communist Party of China). 723574 living beings were snatched, torn apart, destroyed, and poisoned by the Wokou!
The people of Xinxiang, who survived the disaster, rejoiced with tears that they saw the sun rising on a new day, but what could they rely on to get catharsis and healing from the psychological and physical ineffable and indescribable wounds inflicted on them by the Japanese war of aggression against China? How can they open their mouths to tell their children and grandchildren about this painful and humiliating pro-history?
From August 15, 1945 to today, decades have passed, and China's enslaved laborers, humiliated "comfort women", victims of bacteriological weapons, and victims of killing have not yet heard or received any apologies, repentance, compensation, or apologies from the Japanese government!
Although the heinous war criminals have already been shot and hanged, the ghost of "militarism" is still there, the heart of a thief is still immortal, it is still coveting and merging with China's Diaoyu Islands, and every year there are still government officials who go to worship the "Society" in their own way!
The Japanese government, which launched the war and was defeated, is now using another form to wage a protracted "war" with the Chinese government, Chinese people in terms of economy, culture, and psychology.
In the face of toothless and unforgettable past history and the harsh reality of the surging undercurrents, what should we Chinese who live in a peaceful and tranquil environment think rationally and do what we really do?
