Liang Jian: The Japanese army announced their surrender in the summer, so why did Zhang Dabiao accept the surrender wearing cotton clothes?

As the title says, this is a topic I saw on the Internet recently, about the TV series "Bright Sword". The first thing that needs to be clarified is that when Zhang Dabiao accepted the Japanese surrender at the Shimonoseki stronghold, he was not wearing cotton-padded clothes, but a national army uniform. The thickness of his clothes was at most a thin coat. But there is still a problem here. As we all know, the Japanese army announced its unconditional surrender on August 15, 1945. This time is indeed summer, and the weather should be very hot. Even if you are wearing a coat, it is not very reasonable!

Here we might as well follow the wishes of netizens and assume that Zhang Dabiao is wearing cotton clothes. Let’s first review the plot of Zhang Dabiao accepting the surrender of the Japanese army. As early as the late period of the Anti-Japanese War, the contradiction between Chu Yunfei and Li Yunlong became prominent, and local frictions continued. For example, during the mutiny in Lijia Town, Li Yunlong took advantage of the situation to rob. There was also the garrison incident in Dagu Town, where Chu Yunfei forcibly deployed two battalions of troops to garrison Li Yunlong's chassis and so on. These unfriendly behaviors are harbingers of the two people's cooperation going from cooperation to breakdown, including Zhang Dabiao's surrender this time!

Originally, the Japanese troops at the Shimonoseki stronghold wanted to surrender to Chu Yunfei's 358th Regiment. After Li Yunlong found out, he sent Zhang Dabiao to set up an ambush halfway, first ambushing Chu Yunfei's surrendered troops. , then put on the national army uniform (cotton coat), and finally pretended to accept the Japanese surrender. It was precisely because of the surrender of the Shimonoseki stronghold that the relationship between Li Yunlong and Chu Yunfei completely broke down. From then on, the two people changed from being "good friends" to fighting each other!

After reviewing the plot, let us return to the previous question, that is, when the Japanese army announced their surrender in the summer, why did Zhang Dabiao accept the surrender wearing cotton clothes? In fact, this problem is not difficult to explain!

First, it was affected by the filming time of the drama "Bright Sword". After reading the relevant information, we can learn that the shooting time of "Bright Sword" happened to be in winter and spring. You must know that winter in the north is very cold. Even if spring begins, the temperature will be below zero for a long time.

In addition, the entire scene of Zhang Dabiao’s surrender was outdoors, not indoors. In addition, the shooting conditions at that time were limited, so it was normal for the actors to wear thicker clothes!

Second, even if Zhang Dabiao accepted the surrender wearing cotton-padded clothes or even a large cotton-padded jacket, this is consistent with the actual situation. Yes, the Japanese army announced their surrender on August 15, 1945, but there was a process in between. It is impossible to just announce their surrender and start accepting surrender the next day! After Japan announced its surrender, it formally signed a surrender agreement with its allies on September 2, 1945, on the battleship USS Missouri in Tokyo Bay. Even after September 2, some Japanese troops on various battlefields were still resisting due to lack of information or other reasons.

In addition to the surrender ceremony held in Tokyo Bay, many surrender ceremonies were also held on the Chinese battlefield, such as the surrender of Zhijiang, the surrender of Peiping, etc. It is said that the latest surrender ceremony was in December 27th. Due to various reasons, the actual surrender time of the Japanese troops located on the Chinese battlefield is not uniform, and it is not impossible that it may be delayed until autumn and winter in some areas. What's more, Li Yunlong's Independent Regiment and Chu Yunfei's 358th Regiment were operating in northwest Shanxi, and the cold air came very early.

Therefore, whether Zhang Dabiao was surrendered wearing a coat or a cotton-padded coat, it was very realistic!

To sum up, it is precisely because of the above two reasons that although the Japanese army announced their surrender in the summer, Zhang Dabiao accepted the surrender wearing cotton clothes!
