The highest Japanese officer who surrendered was only a captain of the Colonel Corps. As the lieutenant general of the 500 Army, it was impossible for Gao Quan to personally accept the surrender of a Japanese colonel. In line with the principle of equality of status, Sun Yuanqing, the colonel commander of the special agent regiment, Just right. .
Lukoutong bent down and bowed, took off his command sword and held it in front of Commander Sun, "I am the commander of the 19th Infantry Regiment of the 9th Division of the Japanese Imperial Army, Lukoutong. Your Excellency, I have been defeated. According to the According to the provisions of the Geneva Convention, your army should provide food and medical care to our officers and soldiers, please.¡±
"Hey, of course our army will abide by the Geneva Convention. Just tell your people to hand over their weapons, and everyone will come out to gather in formation and prepare to gather in the prisoner of war camp. There will be prepared food and doctors waiting there. With you.¡±
A strange smile suddenly appeared on Sun Yuanqing's serious face. After speaking, he turned around and left. He was afraid that he would not be able to hold back his laughter.
It is true that the army prepared a prisoner-of-war camp for the Japanese, and it was true that there were food and doctors in it. However, the warden of the prisoner-of-war camp was appointed to Huang Sanpao, the commander of the new 501st Division. It is said that Commander Huang accepted this At the time of the appointment, he laughed so much that tears came out. Based on Commander Huang's past performance, the Japanese's future life as a prisoner of war may be very worrying.
Sun Yuanqing has come to accept the surrender. As for Gao Quan, Commander Gao has already taken his reading brigade and armored battalion to Taipei, where there is also Taiwan Governor General Ando Rikichi waiting for him to visit.
From Keelung to Taipei, there were cheering crowds all along the way. Countless Taiwanese people took to the streets singing, dancing, laughing and crying. They won and the Japanese surrendered.
Each vehicle of the 500th Army's convoy had a blue sky and white flag on its head. The convoy drove south along the highway. The road from Keelung to Taipei is not too far. Under normal circumstances, it should take more than an hour. When we arrived, the convoy of the Five Hundred Army took a full four hours.
Enthusiastic people gathered on both sides of the road, singing loudly and shedding joyful tears. Bowl after bowl of celebration wine was handed to the cars, including eggs, cooked meat, fruits, and flowers. The road became a path of joy. People need to vent, need to celebrate, and need to shout loudly and cry happily to wash away all the humiliation and suffering they have endured in the past fifty years.
Gao Quan stood on the jeep and waved frequently. His neck was already covered with garlands. When his left hand was tired, he switched to his right hand. Now his two arms were completely numb. Tang Wenjuan stood on the back of the truck in front of the jeep. The flash of the camera in her hand flashed. She had finished taking photos of one roll of film, and now she was replacing a new roll of film.
No matter how difficult the road is, it will always come to an end. After a half-day trek, the team passed through a sea of ??joy composed of crowds and finally arrived in Taipei, the largest city in Taiwan.
There were more people celebrating in the city than on the road. The convoy of the Five Hundred Army moved forward slowly at a speed slower than pedestrians walking. Gao Quan wanted to dissuade the pedestrians from leaving, but his mouth opened. After several pictures, no words were said in the end. The people have been tortured and wronged for too long, so let them have fun for once.
The convoy arrived in front of the gate of the Governor's Mansion. Gao Quan looked up at the luxurious gate and smiled softly, "Go in." Six troop trucks full of soldiers rumbled in, followed by Commander Gao's jeep. Entered the courtyard of the Governor's Mansion.
Usually there are Japs standing guard at the gate of this compound, but today there is no one at the gate. The Japs are all standing in the courtyard.
A group of Japanese officers stood in front of the main building. The Japanese soldiers on both sides formed a phalanx. Their military uniforms were neat and their leather shoes were shiny. The military formation that was supposed to be mighty looked lifeless at this time. The Japanese soldiers in the phalanx were all empty-handed and without guns. The rifles were neatly placed in large piles next to them. The Japanese also understood that they were surrendering today and were not here to show off their military power.
Gao Quan caught a glimpse of the old Japanese with a big beard in the middle. He estimated that this old guy was the Governor of Taiwan, Ando Rikichi. The jeep turned a corner and stopped in front of the group of Japanese officers with a "squeak". Gao Quan He didn't even get off the car, he just glanced coldly at the group of Japanese in front of him.
Ando Toshiyoshi is a Japanese Army General. No one dared to disrespect him in the past, but today he surrendered to the Chinese [***] Corps as a defeated person. Whether he wanted to or not, the Emperor had already read out the armistice edict. , this is the fact.
Regarding Gao Quan's behavior of not getting out of the car, Ando Rikichi was angry but could do nothing about it. He had no choice but to hold back his anger and walked to the car door and nodded, "Excuse me, are you the surrender commander of the Chinese [***] Corps in Taiwan?" "General Ando is the commander-in-chief of the Japanese Army in Taiwan. If he wants to surrender, he must surrender to the commander-in-chief of the Chinese [***] Squadron. Not everyone can accept Governor Ando's surrender.
"Who are you?" Gao Quan still didn't get out of the car, so he sat in the car and asked.??The attitude is extremely impolite, but is it necessary to be polite to the Japanese?
"I am the Governor of Taiwan, Ando Toshiyoshi." The old devil is quite honest now.
"I am Gao Quan, the commander of the 500th Army. Ando, ??I am not the surrender commander of the [***] Squadron in Taiwan. I am the commander of the 500th Army. I am the military commander of the 500th Army. Officer." The Military Commission has not yet given Gao Quan the authorization. Of course, Commander Gao cannot claim to be the surrender commander in Taiwan. The big shots in the Military Commission have not yet called him back, so there is nothing he can do.
"Then your Excellency is here now." Ando Rikichi took a step back and looked at Gao Quan's eyes full of surprise. Why are you here if you are not surrendering?
"Haha, I'm just interested in the Governor's Mansion and want to come and visit it. Besides, your emperor has read the surrender edict, and you have all surrendered. Since you have surrendered, you will be in danger if you hold weapons. , I¡¯m not here to surrender, I¡¯m here to protect you.¡±
Gao Quan turned around and waved his hand, and the soldiers who got off the truck behind him rushed forward with a huff, picked up the guns and ammunition neatly stacked by the Japanese, and began to carry them to the truck. He was here with the convoy to disarm.
Ando Rikichi looked at Gao Quan dumbfounded, and then looked at the busy soldiers of the 500th Army. He didn't know what to say for a moment. Of course he knew that the 500th Army was fighting the Japanese army during this time in Taiwan. The old Japanese knew. This army is very powerful in combat. Neither of the two elite divisions under his command are opponents. Although it is a bit humiliating for the general to surrender to the lieutenant general, he also plans to do so. Surrendering to someone is not a surrender. Who knows that Gao Quan actually Give him this hand.
Several loaded trucks drove out, followed by several empty trucks that continued to load, until all the guns and ammunition were gone.
"Not bad, not bad." Commander Gao didn't get off the jeep until the second convoy entered the yard. Seeing that the weapons were all loaded, he walked over and patted Ando Rikichi on the shoulder, "Ando, ??let me visit your Office building, you have no objection, ah, haha, you agree without saying a word. Who is that? Xiao Cai, you chat with Ando here, Shitou will accompany me to take a look. "
