高邮博物馆
抗日战争最后一役纪念馆
A memorial hall dedicated to the Gaoyou–Shaobo Campaign of December 1945. According to China's official history, it was the last campaign of the Second Sino-Japanese War. However, it may also be regarded as a campaign of the Chinese Civil War. It was fought between the PLA's New Fourth Army and a group of Japanese and collaborationist Nationalist forces. The PLA won an overwhelming victory. The memorial hall is inside an old church where the surviving Japanese and collaborationist forces surrended to the New Fouth Army.
