“二战”最后终结的地方 日本法西斯自掘的最后坟墓 寻访虎头军事要塞

Looking for Military Fortress of Hutou Fort

虎头镇,地处我国东北部边陲,北纬46度,东经134度,海拔500米。与俄罗斯隔乌苏里江相望,属战略要地。镇内多山丘,森林茂密。现有17个自然村屯,人口12000余人,其中镇上人口3178人。当年被日本关东军列为入侵苏联及防守后方的首选桥头堡。1933年底修筑了哈尔滨至虎头的军事铁路,1934年开始修筑虎头军事要塞。历经7年形成了以虎头军事要塞为主的对苏侵略态势。

During the War of Resistance Against Japan (1937-1945), from the spring of 1934 to 1945, in order to seek dominating control over the Far East Region, Japan invested nearly one billion yuan and recruited more than 100,000 Chinese labors, 40,000 soldiers as well as a large amount of technical military staff in constructing Northern Manchuria Permanent Fortress and Oriental Maginot Line, grand underground military projects, along the riverbank in Hutou Town located at the frontier area in Heilongjiang Province. On 26 August 1945, the Permanent Fortress was totally destroyed by the Red Army of the Soviet Union, who annihilated nearly 1, 380 Japanese soldiers at the price of 1,490 Soviet soldiers including a major general. The fact that the Second World War ended at Hutou Town in Heilongjiang Province hasn't been widely recognized until 1990s.
