The Construction History of Panshan Martyrs Cemetery

Panshan Mausoleum was built on the base of Little Rock Town and Leshan Library in the former Jingji Mountain Villa. The stone sea in the cemetery is the former Little Rock City. There are five or six acres in the stone sea, and countless huge boulders, feldspar, strange rocks, cotton valleys and rocks, with thousands of postures, are wonders of the world. Stone caves are everywhere, and some are bottomless. It is also a famous battle site of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression period. In the spring of 1941, the 13 th Regiment and 1 ST Battalion of the Eighth Route Army used this natural barrier to fight against several Japanese troops for two days and two nights and won the breakthrough battle. Near the cemetery, there are slogans carved on the rocks in Jidong Anti-Japanese Exhibition, and the remains of battlefields, venues, radio stations, newspapers and so on.

Panshan is located in the triangle of Beijing-Tianjin-Tangshan, which has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times. After the establishment of Panshan Anti-Japanese Base Area, it soon became the center of the anti-Japanese war between the east and the west of Hebei. After the July 7th Incident, the CPC Central Committee put forward the task of establishing base areas in enemy-occupied areas in eastern Hebei.

in June p>1938, more than 5, people from the fourth column of the eighth route army, led by commander Song Shilun and political commissar Deng Hua, marched into eastern Hebei in two ways to support the anti-Japanese struggle led by local party organizations. In July 1938, an anti-Japanese armed riot involving 1, people was held in eastern Hebei, which dealt a heavy blow to the Japanese aggressors and their traitors. Tens of thousands of people in Panshan county joined the anti-Japanese Coalition forces.

From the end of 194 to the beginning of 1943, the anti-Japanese base area in Panshan continued to grow, which seriously disrupted the arrangement and deployment of the Japanese invaders. Japanese puppet troops have carried out many large-scale invasions on Panshan base area, creating many appalling tragedies. The local people described the scene at that time as "looking up at the watchtower, stepping to block the ditch, no village, no Dai Xiao, and smoke everywhere". Faced with the cruel reality, the militia in Panshan mobilized the masses and used flexible forms of struggle such as mine warfare and tunnel warfare to withstand the most severe test. Since May 194, the Japanese army has heavily encircled the Panshan base area. Bao Sen, deputy commander of the Eighth Route Army's Jidong Army Division, led his troops to attack the Japanese army many times. In June 1941, he turned to outside operations and extended the anti-Japanese base areas to Miyun, Pinggu, Sanhe, Xinglong, Zunhua, Yutian and Baodi counties.

in the spring of p>1941, the 13th Regiment and 1st Battalion of the Eighth Route Army used the natural barrier of Shihai Cave in the cemetery to fight against several Japanese troops for two days and two nights, and won the breakthrough battle. In January 1943, our main force returned to Jidong, and after several battles, we finally recovered most of the Panshan base area. In May 1945, Panshan Militia was awarded the title of "Militia Hero" by the 14th Division of Jire Liao Military Region. In August 1945, Japan surrendered unconditionally. After paying a huge price of 2, lives, Panshan base area finally persisted in the end and ushered in the victory of the Anti-Japanese War.
