Japan has hit Huangshan Mountain in southern Anhui, why not enter Ningguo?

There is a story circulating among people in Ningguo:19 At the end of 37, when the Japanese army captured Xuancheng and hit Shuidong near Ningguo, the commander asked the translator around him, "Where is the front line?" The translator replied, "It's Ningguo." The Japanese officer ordered the troops: "We will only fight China, not Ningguo." He quit Xuancheng. Do the Japanese really not fight Ningguo?

Of course, this is not the case. The Japanese did not attack Ningguo, not because they mistakenly thought Ningguo was another country, but because Ningguo was a mountainous area with complex terrain, so it was impossible to enter and retreat. In addition, at that time, the Kuomintang was heavily stationed and could not attack for a long time, so it dared not rashly enter the mountainous area for fear of too much loss. According to the memory of Minh Nguyen, the late battalion commander of the Kuomintang, Japanese devils launched the autumn offensive on June +09431October 8, 5438, and attacked Ningguo again. At that time, the 52nd Division of the Kuomintang Army fought back bravely and launched several fierce battles with the Japanese army in Tate's Cairn, Jitouling and Pigeon Temple near Ningguo. Destroy two enemy squadrons, killing and injuring more than 3 0 0 Japanese soldiers, and hitting the arrogance of the Japanese army. Since then, the Japanese army has arranged tactical defenses and built fortifications in Jitouling and Tate's Cairn in Shuidong, forming a close alert to the anti-Japanese troops.

During the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression period, Ningguo became the frontier of the Anti-Japanese War and the rear of the occupied area. Although the Japanese army did not enter Ningguo, Japanese planes often bombed Ningguo towns, which caused great mental trauma and economic losses to the people of Ningguo. According to historical records, the first bombing of Ningguo County by Japanese planes was1937165438+10, and the location was Ningguo Railway Station. From then on1October 26th, the commercial street in the port was bombed, and 1945, Ningguo was bombed more than 50 times. The main targets of the bombing are county towns, Helixi and ports. At the same time, Xiaotian, Shiqiao, Hulu, Zhu Feng and a highway were bombed repeatedly, causing direct casualties of more than 620 people and property losses of1340,000 yuan (.

According to the memory of the late Zhu, the craziest bombing of Ningguo by Japanese planes was one morning in May. The air raid alarm sounded sharply, and the Japanese aggressors dispatched 30 sorties, successively bombing Jesse, Helixi and the port in turn, and strafing with machine guns for about 3 hours, causing heavy casualties and huge losses in various places. Among them: more than 20 people were killed in the county garrison, and more than 0 people died/kloc-0, destroying the county government office building and a large number of houses; Li Hehe's losses are also quite heavy, with many deaths. One of the bombs landed in the river next to Dashiqiao, killing seven boatmen immediately, and the bloody pieces were terrible. The main street of the port was blown off from the middle, and a large number of shops were blown up, causing several deaths and injuries. Since then, although the enemy occasionally bombed and scouted, the scale of bombing has been smaller than in the past.

In order to strengthen air defense, the Kuomintang county government set up an air defense surveillance post in Shaochong, south of Ningguo, and also set up a 1 alarm clock on the north building of the county town, with full-time sentries on duty all day. Once the enemy plane is found to be moving, call and ring the alarm bell immediately to let residents evacuate and hide in advance, so as to minimize property losses and casualties.

The people of Ningguo also made great contributions and sacrifices for the war of resistance. Ningguo, as a wartime transportation hub, has a large number of troops and frequent mobilization. Ningguo County has 2 0 divisions and 300,000 troops. In the early days of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, 2 3 county governments and their subordinate units in the surrounding enemy-occupied areas were temporarily stationed in Helixi Town, Ningguo County. In order to support the Anti-Japanese War, the people of Ningguo spontaneously set up the Anti-Japanese Field Service Corps, which was responsible for the heavy military service of the anti-Japanese army, such as armed materials, wounded and sick. Due to the destruction of roads and railways in China, all transportation materials depend on manual transportation. In the past eight years, the number of migrant workers in the county has reached 9.36 million. In addition, the people of Ningguo suffered from bombing, the land was barren, prices soared and their lives were extremely miserable. In addition, according to incomplete statistics, during the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression period, there were 2,465 anti-Japanese soldiers in Ningguo County, most of whom died for their country.
