What kind of battle happened between the "worse" in my head and my regiment?

Have you seen my head and my ball? It is considered to be the best anti-war drama produced in China. If you have seen it, you must remember the place name "Nantianmen". In the climax of the whole drama, Long Wen led the cannon fodder regiment to fight fiercely with the Japanese army for 38 days on the Nantianmen near the Nujiang River. The heroic clank of iron shocked all the audience.

But you certainly don't know that the plot of this play is based on the real battle in Songshan. The real battlefield is far more cruel and thrilling than what is presented in the play. In Songshan, in addition to a group of battle-hardened veterans, there are also a group of child soldiers with an average age of only 15.

1942, the Chinese expeditionary force fighting in Myanmar was frustrated by the attack, and the Yunnan-Myanmar highway was cut off again, and it was forced to retreat to the east bank of the Nujiang River and confront the Japanese army across the river. The Japanese army stationed in Songshan on the north shore to build fortifications, and planned to build Songshan into the core of the defense system supporting western Yunnan and northern Myanmar, and nailed this permanent defense fortress to the heart of the expeditionary force.

1944, in order to completely open the Burma Road, 200,000 Chinese expeditionary forces launched an all-round attack on the Japanese army on the Burma border, and Songshan, as the traffic throat, was the focus of the battle. The main attack on Songshan is the Eighth Army of the Expeditionary Force 1 1 Regiment, "Honorary 1 Division", and the 28th Division of 7 1 Army, with a total strength of 20,000, while the Japanese army in Songshan has only 1300 people.

/kloc-from June, 2000, the new 28th Division of the Expeditionary Force crossed the Nujiang River under the cover of heavy artillery. On September 7th, the Japanese commander Zhen Guobang launched a "death charge" after burning the military flag, and was killed by the Expeditionary Force. The battle of Songshan * * * lasted for 95 days, and the expeditionary force fought Songshan for ten times, and adowa was stationed in the Japanese 1 13 wing, which completely broke the deadlock in the battle of western Yunnan and opened the prelude to China's big counterattack.

However, under such a brilliant record, it is the Songshan stone soil dyed red with blood. Because the comprehensive quality of the army is far less than that of the Japanese army, and there are also mistakes in intelligence investigation, the soldiers of the expeditionary force almost won the victory with the sacrifice of inch by inch of land and blood. 4,000 soldiers buried their lives in the mountains of western Yunnan forever, including thousands of baby soldiers.

Their average age is only 15, and the oldest is less than 18. Originally, an innocent age should enjoy the most carefree life. The teenagers at the beginning of the cross are fighting for their country in the Songshan battlefield of purgatory on earth. Most of them will never have a chance to "grow up".

At the site of Songshan Battle, there is a martyr cemetery with a statue of the expeditionary force. In front of the "Baby Fighter Square" composed of 2 1 Batman statues, there is a stone tablet with a photo on it. He is also an expeditionary soldier named Li Zhanhong, from Guizhou. On his way to Myanmar with the army, an American journalist took his picture. The little boy is only 13 years old at this time. This is the only photo he left, a pure smile. Maybe he doesn't know what kind of battle he will go through.

The smallest witness of Songshan campaign was the logistics squad soldier captured by the Japanese army. His name is Zhang Quansheng, and he is only nine years old. When a group of Japanese soldiers surrounded the child and asked him what kind of death he wanted. The 9-year-old child didn't have any fear, just said "I'm dead".

If you have the chance, will you go to Songshan Martyrs Cemetery? There are a group of children who will never grow up, and a group of soldiers who will never go home. In the southwest of the motherland, they watched the land where they had fought, silently, the hero Long song.
