That autumn, a friend took me to visit a well-known local temple, unfortunately, that day the temple was under construction, and I could not bear to regret leaving, not far from the temple, there was a tall monument, I walked alone to that piece of building, before I approached, I knew that it was a small martyrs' cemetery, and it was that encounter that made me have a new understanding of the memorial hall and the martyrs' cemetery
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="3" > the base area of the anti-Japanese nationalities in Huaibei</h1>
The Huaibei Anti-Japanese National Base Area Memorial Hall is located in Sihong County, Suqian City, and the place name sihong is used to commemorate yang Sihong, a famous anti-Japanese general in the late Qing Dynasty, who, as Liu Yongfu's deputy commander, led the Black Flag Army to resist the Japanese and defend Taiwan. It is one of the few heroic deeds in the late Qing Dynasty.
After Yang Sihong's sacrifice for 42 years, the flames of war reached his hometown. In 1937, the Japanese army invaded China on a large scale, and in 1938, the Huaibei region fell. Ordinary people live in the depths of the water, in addition to the Japanese army burning and looting, there are also puppet troops, traitors, bandits, landlords looting and tyranny. The Communist Party organized and mobilized the people of the occupied areas to rise up against this background, and established the Huaibei Anti-Japanese National Base Area against this background.
In the establishment of the base area, we have to mention an important figure, General Peng Xuefeng, an important leader of the Communist Party, a talented Confucian general, who led the army to the south to conquer the north and the war, made outstanding achievements in battle, and was only 37 years old at the time of his death, and was the highest general of the New Fourth Army who died in the War of Resistance.
Xuzhou, known as Pengcheng in ancient times, was the place where Liu Bang, the Duke of Pei, was born and founded, and it was also the place where Cao Cao, Lü Bu and Liu Bei took turns to sit in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and it was also the place where the Battle of Huaihai took place in the Great Armageddon. Since ancient times, this has been a strategic place, connecting the four provinces of Sulu, Anhui and Yu, and it is not surprising that a decisive battle is fought here.
The Battle of Huaihai was the battle in which both the Kuomintang and the Communists invested the most troops and had the greatest influence. In addition to the correct command of Deng Xiaoping, Chen Yi, Liu Bocheng, Su Yu, and Tan Zhenlin in the Huaihai Campaign, and the heroic morale of the soldiers, there is also an important point, that is, the more than 5 million peasant logistics troops in this war, stretchers, carts, and flat shoulders, the transport capacity exceeded the Kuomintang planes and trucks, and the peasants risked their lives to support the sons and daughters of the front.
Lianyungang is the starting point of the Longhai Railway, a hub for land and sea transportation, and an important gateway to Xuzhou. The strategic position in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression was particularly important, and it was an important channel for the material transfer and gathering of troops of the Japanese army, and Lianyungang was particularly important to the Japanese army invading China. Under the indiscriminate bombardment of aircraft and ships, the prelude to the attack on Lianyungang was launched
However, the well-equipped and well-prepared Japanese army suffered here, and the unit that made them suffer was a unit of the Northeast Army that absorbed Communists, subordinate to the 112th Division of the 57th Army, where the Japanese army was blocked for 289 days After the Nationalist army was surrounded on all sides and ordered to withdraw from Lianyungang, the Japanese army was stubbornly resisted by the guerrillas led by the Communist Party. The defense of Lianyungang showed national integrity, where only Chinese and invaders, anti-Japanese soldiers fell down in rows, and row after row stepped on the top of the corpses of comrades-in-arms, and the common people carried the corpses down the mountain one by one until the corpses of the martyrs were piled up in the trenches.
Lianyungang Anti-Japanese Mountain
Lianyungang Anti-Japanese Mountain is the only mountain in China named after the Anti-Japanese Resistance, but also a martyrs' cemetery of great significance, which was built in 1941 by the 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army to teach the Second Brigade and the coastal soldiers and civilians, and at that time, during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, when building a mausoleum for comrades-in-arms, you may think that your name will also be engraved, just as General Zhizhuting said, if one day I die, please comrades remember, and also bury me here
Looking up at the martyrs' cemetery, looking at the rows of unfamiliar names, there is an inexplicable touch, they are far away from their hometowns, fighting for the hometown of others, buried in a strange place, life is frozen in the years of youth, they could have lived their lives in peace, like most people.
The last row of tombstones, no name, do not know where it came from, do not know what the surname of whom, it is estimated that it is also a young life, but also a hot-blooded man. I stand here because they lie there forever. We work hard to pursue a better life, they pay for young lives, so that others can have a better life, and what can we repay them, in the face of rows of young lives, hot-blooded youth, if you are not immersed, you can never understand, . In the memorial hall, in the martyrs' cemetery, you can really think about life without having to look up at the stars at a 45-degree angle.
The reason why the Chinese nation has become the only nation that has been alive for 5,000 years is because of your existence, pay tribute to heroes, and pay tribute to the motherland
