Where did World War II end?

The monument to the end of World War II is located at the top of Hushan, the site of Hutou Fortress in Hutou Town, Hulin City. In order to build a red tourism brand, Hulin City, Heilongjiang Province will establish a special scenic spot such as "Memorial Park for the End of World War II" at the site of Hutou Fortress. It is understood that the Hutou Fort was secretly built in 1934 by tens of thousands of Japanese laborers forced by the Japanese invaders. It is located in the mountainous area northwest of Hutou Town, Heilongjiang Province, and was the military base of the Japanese Kwantung Army on the Sino-Soviet border in northeast China at that time. Because of its wide distribution, large-scale fortifications, complete military facilities, strong defense and strong attack power, the Japanese Kwantung Army called it "maginot line of the East". 1On August 9, 945, the Soviet Red Army launched an attack on the Hutou fortress and finally captured it on the 26th. Because the Battle of Tiger Head ended in Japan 1 1 days later, the fortress was also called "the end of World War II". Bing Lin, director of Hulin Tourism Bureau, said that in order to preserve the evidence of Japanese aggression against China and remember the history, in recent years, governments at all levels in China have invested 1000 million yuan to excavate and clean up some positions of Hutou Fort, and built a 28,000-square-meter underground fort museum of Japanese invaders on the site, which has been listed as a national key cultural relics protection unit. In the next step, Hulin City will build a series of scenic spots such as "Memorial Park for the End of World War II" on this basis.
