It is still the moon and border pass in Qin and Han dynasties, and the enemy has fought a protracted war. In history, countless soldiers gave their lives to defend their country. They killed the enemy heroically, in order to let the people of China live a peaceful and tranquil life and not be invaded by the enemy again. In all parts of our country, there are almost traces of battlefield smoke. In Huanghua Township, Yichang, Hubei Province, the expressway was being built there at that time, and the workers were working as usual. In their daily work, excavators suddenly dug up many human bones underground. Such a large number of bones frightened the locals.
Experts arrived at the news and judged that such a large number of bones should not be man-made crimes, but may be traces left on the battlefield before. Later, by consulting local county records and some historical records, experts thought that these bones should be the loyal bones of the soldiers of the Fourth Division of the 75th Kuomintang Army. After cleaning up, at least 3000 bones were dug up and that history was reread.
1940, the anti-Japanese front was tense, and the Japanese army was ready to capture Yichang. Yichang, located in the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River, is a very important waterway. If Yichang falls, it will directly threaten Chongqing's anti-Japanese war base, and this imminent threat will have a great impact on the operation. In order to protect Chongqing, they sent the Fourth Division of the 75th Army to ambush near Yichang to prevent the Japanese army from moving westward again.
At that time, although the Fourth Division resisted tenaciously, it was helpless that the Japanese army had better weapons and equipment. Under the indiscriminate bombing of the Japanese army, the Fourth Division gradually lost its resistance and retreated to a mountainous area, relying on the mountainous area to deal with the enemy. The two sides were deadlocked, and the tug-of-war dragged on, and the war became more and more unfavorable to the Fourth Division. 194 1 winter, the fourth division prepared to fight back against the Japanese army.
This battle is very hard. More than 1000 people in the fourth division braved heavy artillery fire and charged forward, but they were beaten back again and again. Later, they had to fight hand-to-hand with the Japanese army, and more and more soldiers died at the front. There is a field hospital in Huanghua Township. All the soldiers who were seriously injured and died on the battlefield were transported to this hospital. This hospital is not big. At first, the soldiers were able to bury well, but with the tension of the front, the soldiers became more and more tired and the casualties became more and more serious, and the medical resources in this place were obviously insufficient. Sometimes several dead soldiers have to be buried together, and finally those bodies that can't be buried in time can only be piled up in one place.
The more than 3,000 bones we see now are all soldiers who died in those years. They can't leave their leaves to their roots, so they have to bury their bones somewhere else. When we learned of this tragic history, people all stood in awe, thanked them for their sacrifices, and inspired us to be patriotic and cherish the present peaceful life.
