Every day, a dozen to dozens of laborers are killed, and some of them are brutally killed by the Japanese army. More than 1000 graves and bags were found in an area covering an area of more than 20,000 square meters. In order to "stabilize" the army's morale, the Japanese army also transported more than 1000 "comfort women" by train, including Japanese women, Korean women and China women. At that time, there were more than 20 "comfort stations" in the five towns of Dongning. Now, there are still "comfort women" living in the nursing home in Dongning. 1On August 8, 945, the Soviet Union declared war on Japan. At 0: 00 on August 9, the Soviet Red Army, with the support of artillery, tanks and planes, attacked the Dongning fortress in three ways, and the Japanese army fought fiercely for seven days. The Soviet Union attacked with air force, tanks and infantry, and forcibly breached the Dongning fortress, which the Japanese army had painstakingly managed for many years. Without reinforcements, the Japanese army had to retreat in the direction of Jilin, while a small number of Japanese troops stayed in the fortress. /kloc-in August of 0/5, after the Japanese emperor announced his surrender by imperial decree, due to the indiscriminate bombing of the Soviet Union and the panic and flight of the Japanese army, all Japanese communications were interrupted, and the Japanese troops stationed in Dongning fortress did not know that the emperor had surrendered. The Soviet bombing was quite fierce. Dongning was covered with cement blocks one meter square, and many tunnels were blown down, but it was still impossible to completely win. Later, Soviet military aircraft transported Tadao Kono, the logistics staff of the Third Army of Japan, from Mudanjiang, and entered the Dongning fortress with a white flag to convey the surrender of the Emperor to the Japanese army. The Japanese army completely gave up resistance. 90 1 Japanese troops walked out of the fortress with a white flag on August 28th. The Xunshan fortress guarded by the Japanese was not discovered by the Soviets because the bunker was not discovered and there was no fight. It was the locals who discovered the Japanese army when they went up the mountain and immediately reported it to the Soviet army. The Soviet army immediately mobilized planes and artillery to blow up the sky and the ground, and the battle ended on August 30. At this point, the Second World War can be said to be completely over. Therefore, the battle of Dongning was the last battle of the Second World War.
