Related history

There are three main reasons for choosing Zhijiang, a small mountain city in the remote west of Hunan Province, to be surrendered. First, Zhijiang is located in the border of Western Hunan Province, surrounded by mountains and flowing water. The terrain is precipitous. It is known as "the gateway to the southwest and the throat of Guizhou and Chu", and has always been a place for military strategists. Second, during the Anti Japanese War, Zhijiang built the second largest secret airport in China at that time. More than 500 planes and 6000 officers and soldiers of the Sino US Air Force mixed wing were stationed here, which had a great deterrent effect on the Japanese army. At that time, the Japanese army still had considerable strength and refused to surrender. The place of surrender was Zhijiang, which was conducive to strategic mobility and security. Third, in 1945, the Japanese army mobilized 80000 troops to launch the "Xiangxi battle" aimed at destroying the Zhijiang airport and trying to open the southwest passage. After more than two months of fighting, the Japanese army lost more than 28000 casualties, and the Japanese Imperial dream was completely broken in Zhijiang Annihilation, the final battle of China's frontal battlefield was a complete victory, and Zhijiang became famous all over the world.
