胜利日的沈阳记忆

Memory in Shenyang about Victory Day

1945年8月8日,苏联发表声明,由于日本公然拒绝《波茨坦公告》,为迅速恢复和平,“从明天即8月9日起,苏联将与日本进入战争状态”。9日零时,苏联元帅、远东军总司令华西列夫斯基率领157万苏蒙联军,在夜幕掩护下,以庞大的装甲兵和航空兵为前导,兵分四路,其中第一路从外贝加尔湖向长春、沈阳进攻。

With millions of Soviet-style rapid withering attacks,the Japanese Kwantung Army was defeated easily.On August 10 th,the Japanese emperor accepted the "Potsdam Proclamation".The message of victory from that day quietly spread in Shenyang folk.On August 15 th,1945,the news that Japan surrendered spread throughout Shenyang.On hearing the news,the antiManchukuo patriots held in "Mukden No.1 Prison" resisted,and organized a large-scale uprising.The air above the prison was painted red by shellfire.More than 200 patriots of the resistance against Japanese aggression broke the door and dashed out.On the same day,having seen the Chinese national flags hanged above the church near the South Gate and on the building of Mukden Medical College,the students in the National High School of Puppet Manchukuo shouted with excitement, "We are no longer conquered people.I am a man of a strong nation!" Japanese soldiers carrying guns and swords on the streets lost their former prestige.The next day,the US military transport plane flew over Shenyang to prepare for Allied prisoners of war.With colorful parachute packs floating down,Allied POW camp and Shenyang City unveiled the dawn of liberation.Three days later,the streets of Shenyang ushered in the Eighth Route Army.The soldiers formed four columns in the square in front of Shenyang Station and marched along the current Zhongshan Road from west to east.The soldiers in the front of army carried light machine guns,followed by the soldiers carrying rifles and the soldiers with Red-tasselled spears.Shenyang citizens,being conquered people for 14 years,finally got liberated.Tormented people,shouting "Long live the victory",flocked to the railway station square,to welcome the Eighth Route Army and celebrate the victory of war.
