Chapter 389
In the morning, He Huan sent a message in the group: "Today we are going to the National Cemetery to pay homage to the heroic spirits. Please dress neatly and solemnly, and don't wear hats."

The tourists all replied in the group: OK.

After breakfast at the hotel, He Huan set off with the little white dragon group.

"At the foot of Laifeng Mountain, beside the Dieshui River, there are nine thousand heroic spirits buried forever. This is the National Martyrdom Cemetery we are going to now. National Martyrdom, Mr. Li Gengen, a veteran of the revolution, who called himself Gaoligongshan, was taken from "Chu Songs". "

Entering the National Cemetery, you will see a huge bell on the square with a pair of peace doves on it.

"This is the alarm bell ringing!"

Everyone can't help but be in awe.

Walking to the front, the alarm bell is engraved on both sides - don't forget the national humiliation, cherish peace.

Walking past is a long wall.

"This is the list wall of the Expeditionary Army, with 105231 names, and it is still being added." He Huan said, "During World War II, the Chinese Expeditionary Army recovered western Yunnan. The National Cemetery was built to commemorate the fallen soldiers of the 20th Army that conquered Tengchong. Martyrs."

Everyone walked along the expeditionary army list wall, and tears gradually filled their eyes.

He Huan led the little white dragon regiment into the Western Dian Anti-Japanese War Memorial Hall. As soon as they entered, everyone was shocked by the helmets covering the wall.

He Huan explained the anti-Japanese war in western Yunnan, and other tourists gathered around to listen.

"On July 1937, 7, the Marco Polo Bridge Incident broke out, and the Anti-Japanese War broke out. The port cities such as Shanghai and Nanjing were in danger. The Yunnan Army set off to join the Central Plains.

Soon, a large area of ​​our country fell, and the Japanese army blocked our sea passages, intending to encircle and fight.At this time, the mountainous Yunzhou became the rear area.

The highest official of Yunzhou, Long Yun, went to Nanjing for a meeting and proposed that Yunzhou still has a channel to receive international aid.That is, the Tao of Shu body poison!Southern Silk Road!Tea-Horse Road! "

The blood of Xiaobailong Tuan was boiling, and he did not expect the Ancient Tea Horse Road to appear here again!
"The ancient tea-horse road at that time had to cross Ailao Mountain, Wuliang Mountain, Gaoligong Mountain, Nu Mountain, and Yunling Mountains, and cross the Red River, Lancang River, and Nu River.

Through this small road, how long will it have to wait for the anti-war supplies to be transported to the rear of our country!But at that time, there was only one passage left.Nanjing finally decided to build the Burma Road.

At that time, 80.00% of the road sections were steep mountains and river canyons. The United States said that it would take at least three years to build this road! In November, Nanjing ordered Yunzhou to build the Burma Road within one year.

Long Yun returned to Yunzhou and issued an emergency notice.The governors of Chuncheng, Chuxiong, Dali, and Baoshan all received a letter with chicken feathers and a pair of handcuffs. They were ordered to build roads in each area within a time limit.

In December, 12 laborers from more than 20 ethnic groups went online in their respective counties to start the construction of the Yunnan-Myanmar Highway.At that time, all young and middle-aged people went to the front line, and most of the people who built this road were the elderly, women and children. "

He Huan pointed to an old photo on the wall. Everyone looked at the black-and-white photo on the wall, with a heavy burden on their immature shoulders, and their eyes were red.

"At that time, the road construction team brought their own dry food and tools. The technicians in the front took measurements, and the laborers in the back followed suit. In order to build this road, about [-] people died at the bottom of the cliff and in the river.

Finally, eight months later, 20 people held the tools for cultivating the land and built the Burma Road.The first batch of 6000 tons of international aid materials was transported into my country from the Yunnan-Burma Highway. At that time, the world was shocked!This is a channel built with life! "

The tourists wiped their tears again and again.

"After the completion of the Burma Road, it immediately began to play an important role in the war of resistance in my country and the entire Pacific region. The Burma Road, which hovers between mountains and valleys, was the only passage between my country and foreign countries at that time.

In the three years since it was opened to traffic, more than 5000 vehicles on the Yunnan-Myanmar Highway have rushed to transport 50 tons of military supplies and countless other materials, which is a lifeline supporting the War of Resistance.

At the same time, this was the only line of communication that allowed entry and exit at that time, and it was also the key to the desperate struggle between the two sides of the war. In 40, Japanese planes discovered the Burma Road and began large-scale bombing of the Burma Road.

They bombed, we repaired, and built a Burma Highway that kept bombing.If the car can't pass, use horses to carry it.You look at this photo. "

He Huan pointed to a black-and-white photo on the wall, "It is the mule and horse team transporting our army's artillery shells on the Burma Road beside the Nu River. The Southern Silk Road not only has tea and coffee, silk and emeralds, but also artillery shells."

Everyone looked at the team of mules and horses.

He Huan showed them another photo, "This is a road that was bombed, a truck transporting supplies was blocked, and a group of migrant workers were digging earth and rocks to clear the road."

"It was an era of national resistance." He Huan said as he led everyone on the walk, "The Burma Road was bombed and repaired, and people on this road were not afraid of artillery fire and kept coming and going.

The Japanese army changed their strategy again and attacked Thailand, Malaysia, and Myanmar adjacent to Yunzhou, intending to block our material delivery and surround Yunzhou.

After the Japanese army occupied Myanmar, in 42, a [-] expeditionary force set out from the Burma Highway and entered Myanmar to fight against Japan.Sixty thousand soldiers shed blood and died for the country.

Subsequently, the Japanese army rushed through the Wanding port and entered the southwestern gate of our country. "

Everyone looked at the pictures and listened to He Huan's description of the tragic national gate and highway defense battle, and they couldn't help but be thrilled.

"After the Yunnan-Burma Highway was cut off, the Japanese army occupied Tengchong and Longling, and carried out a brutal massacre. The rear of the Anti-Japanese War became the front line of the Anti-Japanese War. The Japanese army formed a strategic encirclement of our country.

In order to transport supplies, the Allies opened the Hump route.But the hump route cannot supply our large fenced-in battlefield.

In May 44, the No.5 Group Army of the Expeditionary Force forcibly crossed the Nu River Grand Canyon, attacked Gaoligong Mountain, and launched a battle to return to the west of Yunnan..."

As He Huan spoke, everyone cried.

"Gaoligong Mountain passes through Tengchong City, and in order to consolidate their occupation of Tengchong, the Japanese army also built fortifications on the Gaoligong Mountain Ancient Tea-Horse Road.

After nine days of bloody fighting, the expeditionary force seized the Nanbeizhai public house in Gaoligong Mountain.Gaoligong Mountain is 3000 meters above sea level, and this battle is also known as the Battle of the Sky.

The expeditionary army rushed through the enemy's artillery fire with flesh and blood, captured Laifeng Mountain, and rushed to the stone city with high walls built by the Japanese army!Stone City is Tengchong.

Since ancient times, volcanic stones have been used as city walls.After the Japanese occupation, they also enslaved and forced our people to build walls.

The stone city was repeatedly attacked, and the people inside and outside carried food and weapons to support the expeditionary army.Allied Stilwell used planes to blast a gap in the city wall.The expeditionary army entered the city over the wall, filled the streets with corpses, and filled the city walls with blood. "

Looking at the old photos, even in black and white, you can still see the cruelty and bloodshed at that time. Everyone turned their heads away, unable to bear to witness.

"After 42 days of fierce fighting, the 20th Group Army wiped out the [-] Japanese troops stationed in Tengchong. The Japanese army burned the military flag."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Afterwards, the expeditionary force entered Longling. Longling, that is, the end where we came from the Longjiang Bridge yesterday. The expeditionary force fought fiercely with the Japanese army at Longling Songshan.

After three months of bloody battle, [-] Japanese troops were wiped out and Longling was recovered.The Japanese army burned the military flag for the second time.There is a Songshan battle site on the Songshan side. "

The tourists' eyes were red.

"Speaking of this military flag, because it was awarded by the emperor, as long as the military flag is not completely damaged, it will not be re-granted. And the more broken the military flag, the more proud they are, which represents military exploits.

The Japanese army attached great importance to the military flag to a perverted level, so on the battlefield against Japan in World War II, both our army and the Allied forces wanted to grab their military flag.

But they will not let people capture the military flag when they die. Even if the regiment is destroyed, they have to set aside time for a solemn ceremony-burning the military flag.

On the battlefields of our country, there were three times when the Japanese army was forced to burn their flags in desperation.Once in Yichang, and the other two times in Tengchong and Songshan. "

"Ah!" Everyone couldn't help being proud.

"Because of the destruction of the regiment, Japan called these two battles the Jade Broken Battle. They still know the Jade Broken, which shows that our country's culture has been well inherited."

The tourists finally smiled.

"But they call themselves jade, and they are not worthy. Since ancient times, jade came out of Tengyue, and the battles of Tengchong and Songshan were limited by the terrain and equipment of our army. The death toll was several times that of the Japanese army, and there were a thousand child soldiers. But we did not let go An enemy. We are called Yu Sui, and they are stinky stones."

Everyone laughed.

"It was the victory of the Battle of Songshan and the Battle of Tengchong that opened the prelude to our army's counter-offensive. The Battle of Yusui preserved our main artery, the Burma Road came into play again, and the expeditionary force then recovered Wanding.

The Western Yunnan counterattack lasted eight months and wiped out 45 Japanese troops. In January 1, the Western Yunnan Expeditionary Force and the Chinese Expeditionary Force in India successfully joined forces and drove the invaders out of the southwest gate.

The rear of the Southwest was stabilized, the siege situation was opened, the supply of supplies was sufficient, and the new force was transferred to the eastern battlefield. In May, the eastern battlefield began to counterattack, and the Xiangxi battle was won. In August 5, Japan surrendered. "

Everyone burst into tears.

"The Hump route in the sky, the Burma Road on the ground, and the mountains and rivers are full of blood every step of the way. Baoshan, as the first city on the extreme edge of our country, facing the gate of South Asia, has never stopped history and has been writing."

Before he knew it, a large group of people surrounded him, but it was very quiet, only the sound of sobbing could be heard.

He Huan walked out with the little white dragon group, and many tourists followed.

When we arrived at the solemn and solemn Martyr's Shrine, there were four large characters inscribed on it—Blood Blood for Thousand Years!

Just now seeing those old photos, hearing about that period of history, and watching Jade Blood for a Thousand Years, everyone couldn't help but tears filled their eyes and their blood surged.

"This is the main building of the National War Cemetery, and it is a hall to pay homage to the heroes." He Huan took everyone in to visit and pay homage.

Come out, behind the martyr's shrine, surrounded by green hills, a hill protrudes.

A neat small tombstone, hidden among white camellias and green pines and cypresses, is like an array of soldiers, with the four characters "Heaven and Earth Righteousness" written in front of it.

Ordinary people will always feel flustered and uneasy when they go to places with tombstones, especially places with many tombstones.

But facing the tombstones all over the mountain, looking at the "righteousness of heaven and earth", there is no fear and anxiety, only safety and emotion.

Come to Fengshan toweringly, accompanied by long pines and cypresses, with awe-inspiring righteousness.

"This is Xiaotuan Mountain, a small quiet volcano, where the heroic spirits of the expeditionary army are buried. The layout of the cemetery presents four blocks and eight small blocks, implying that the heroes who sleep here come from all directions of the motherland.

Loyal bones are buried everywhere in Qingshan, so why return the corpse wrapped in horse leather.They come from far and wide, and most of them are too young to have descendants, and we are their descendants. "

The tourists burst into tears.

"It is precisely because they have protected this gate with their lives that we can see the beauty and prosperity of the border town today, and we can stand in front of them and comfort the heroic spirits."

Under the leadership of the little white dragon, the tourists bowed three times, and then offered white chrysanthemums and yellow chrysanthemums in front of the small tombstones with their names engraved on them.

He Huan took them to the National Heroes Monument again, "There are no bones or names for more heroic spirits, so we can only pay our respects here."

Everyone stood silently, and then offered white chrysanthemums.

After coming down, in a corner overgrown with weeds, I saw an inconspicuous round mound, with a monument standing in front of it, which read - Wazuka.

He Huan said, "Look over there."

Everyone look over.

"The place where the emperor is buried is called the mausoleum, the princes and nobles are called the tomb, the common people are called the tomb, and the lonely ghosts are called the tomb."

Everyone finally laughs here.

"The three corpses buried here are Colonel Komi Yasushige, Captain of the [-]th Regiment of the Sixth Division of the Japanese Army, Captain Masabuno Ota, and Captain Sang Hong, acting regiment commanders."

"what!"

"After the recovery of Tengchong and Longling, the construction of the National Cemetery began under the initiative of Mr. Li Genyuan. The local people suffered heavy casualties and the land was scorched, but they were not busy rebuilding their homes.

Manpower and material resources are used to let the heroic spirits rest in peace, and their souls return to the earth. On July 45, 7, the day of the Marco Polo Bridge Incident, it was completed. It is the earliest martyrs cemetery established in my country.

At that time, for the sake of the environment, the Japanese soldiers were also buried.In order to comfort the pain of the soldiers and civilians, Japanese graves were erected, and they were buried in a kneeling position with their hands tied behind their backs. "

Everyone looked at the Japanese mound, and felt that they had just let out a sigh of relief.

"Some tourists from island countries came to us and found this tomb, and spread it to the island countries. They sent people many times to take these corpses back for reburial. We have never agreed.

In 97, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries came to Tengchong and offered to invest one billion yuan. The Tengchong government and people were very happy.How poor Yunzhou was at that time!Tengchong is also a poor county!Such a sudden large investment is of course welcome.

But we also have to ask, why are you investing?What conditions do we need to provide?

At this time, they said, there are no other requirements, as long as the Japanese tomb is dismantled, and they are asked to take the corpse back, it must be sent to their god toilet. "

The tourists laughed again.

"At that time, we made three demands. First, stop enshrining war criminals and dismantle the Yasukuni Shrine; second, stop falsifying the history of World War II and face up to the fact of aggression; third, make a public apology to Tengchong and the victims of the war of aggression against China.

They didn't agree, and you can see that they still don't admit it.We also do not agree, one billion investment is not required.So now you see that there is still no heavy industry here today, only tourism, only blue sky and white clouds and tens of thousands of heroic souls sleeping here! "

A large group of tourists burst into tears, "We must support Tengchong's tourism industry! We must often come to pay homage to the heroic soul!"

Leaving the National Cemetery, He Huan looked at the tourists, "Now let's go to the Volcano Park, take a hot air balloon, and overlook the geographical miracle of the central country of Ailao and the city on the extreme edge."

The eyes of the tourists are still red.

"Today, we can visit the great rivers and mountains on the vast land, and witness that the ancient tea-horse road has become the poisonous road in Shu, then the Yunnan-Burma road, and then the beautiful Silk Road today. It is the construction and protection of generations of people!"

Everyone nodded, feeling much better.
