When the time came to 1940, China's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression was in a white-hot stage, and the Kuomintang and the Communist Party put aside their prejudices and formed a united front to jointly deal with the Japanese invaders. The bloody descendants of Yan and Huang, in order to defend every inch of our Great China to the death, fought to the death against the Japanese army on the bloody battlefield, and countless martyrs spilled their blood on the battlefield and sacrificed their lives for the country.

At that time, the Japanese troops stationed in Yichang, under the cover of advanced weapons, launched countless purging activities against the Kuomintang troops stationed in Huanghua Township, resulting in heavy losses to the Nationalist army. Many wounded Nationalist soldiers were sent to a Nationalist field army in Huanghua Township for treatment, and several thousand troops were arranged to guard them.

The Japanese army not only carried out a frantic attack on the Nationalist troops stationed in Huanghua Township, but also carried out a severe blockade in terms of materials. In the face of the frequent attacks of the Japanese army, Fu Zhengmo, the commander of the national army at the time, led his troops to resist desperately and repelled the Japanese attacks countless times, but also killed many soldiers, and the soldiers who were seriously injured and hospitalized lost their lives because of the shortage of materials and the scarcity of medicines.

In order to bury these sacrificed soldiers, Fu Zhengmo bought 30 acres of land in Nanbian Village, Huanghua Township, for the burial of the dead soldiers, so that they could have a resting place. In the beginning, for those soldiers who died, the rescuers could also wrap them in a white cloth and build a simple single tomb.

However, as the fighting became more and more intense, the Japanese army used heavy weapons to keep firing wildly, resulting in more and more soldiers killed, and the Japanese army pressed forward step by step, plus the cemetery was tense, and the medical staff had to bury many soldiers who died heroically in a pit, which can be regarded as letting them all be buried in the ground.

According to expert research, the remains of more than 3,000 people excavated from the construction of Huanghua Township turned out to be the heroic martyrs who died for the country in 1940 when Fu Zheng, a general of the national army, led his troops to fight with the Japanese army. At the critical moment after the Japanese army captured Yichang, Fu Zhengmo was not afraid of life and death, and commanded the troops to start a bloody battle with the powerful Japanese army at the mouth of the two rivers

Under the indiscriminate bombardment of Japanese aircraft and artillery, countless soldiers fought hard, and even started hand-to-hand combat with the Japanese army, and one after another soldiers fell, but the warriors still rushed forward one after another, and countless heroes and heroes fell on this land in this way, never got up again, and dedicated their precious lives to China's anti-Japanese cause.

On the arduous battlefield of resistance against Japan, there are more than 3,000 anti-Japanese martyrs who sacrificed their lives for the country. After 14 years of Japanese militarist aggression against China and eight years of all-out war of resistance, the Japanese invaders were finally driven out of the country at the cost of tens of millions of people. This is a bloody lesson, and every son and daughter of the Chinese nation must bear it in mind, never forget the national shame, and forge ahead! Only when the country is strong and the people are rich will we not be beaten, and we hope that our motherland will always be prosperous!
