I hand over the Wanjie trading system to the country

One inch of mountains and rivers and one inch of blood, one hundred thousand young people and one hundred thousand troops!It is the truest portrayal of Province Y.

In that era when the country was in ruins, although the scale of the battles encountered on the border of Province Y could not be compared with those well-known large-scale battles, it was as tragic as it was.

In February 43, the Huaguo troops retreated to the west of Province Y to rebuild the expeditionary force.

In October 43, the troops stationed in India re-launched an attack on northern Myanmar along the Huayin Highway.

In response to the operations of the troops stationed in India in northern Myanmar, the expeditionary force forcibly crossed the Nu River in May 44 and launched a counterattack to northern Myanmar along the Burma Road.

The counter-offensive operation in northern Myanmar and western Yunnan lasted for one and a half years, and nearly 5 enemy troops were killed, wounded and captured.

Recovered more than 50 large and small towns, opened up the land transportation between Huaguo and the allies, and improved the supply situation on the Huaguo battlefield. The Huaguo army paid the price of nearly 6.7 casualties for this.

Today, in the dense forest less than ten kilometers away from Longling County, there is a special memorial building: Songshan Site. (It was originally Songshan, but I changed it a bit for fear of being harmonized.)

In 06, director Kang Honglei traveled to Province Y after filming "Soldier Assault".

At that time, the Songshan site was only a monument less than three square meters and almost collapsed.

Director Kang Honglei burst into tears after learning the history behind it, and filmed the well-known series-"My Leader, My Team" with almost no investment.

Nowadays, there are not a few Internet celebrities who are called the descendants of the expeditionary army, but how many people really understand the meaning of the three words expeditionary army?

When it comes to the expeditionary force, one has to mention the Battle of Songshan.

The Battle of Songshan was an important part of the northern Burma campaign in western Province Y during the 14-year period.

The Huaguo Expeditionary Army attacked Songshan Mountain in Lameng Township, Longling County on June 44, 6, which lasted 4 days.

The victory of this battle pushed the front line out, breaking the stalemate in the western province of Y, and at the same time, kicked off the prelude to the big counteroffensive.

The strategic position of Mount Song is very important. It guards the traffic throat from the west of Province Y to the east bank of the Nu River.

Close to the Huitong Bridge on the Nujiang River, facing a deep valley in front, a big slope in the back, and mountains on the left and right.

Mount Song stands abruptly on the west bank of the Nu River, shaped like a natural bridgehead.

It strangles the key points of the Yunnan-Burma Highway and the river surface 40 miles north of Daheidu on the Nujiang River.

Moreover, it holds the initiative on the battlefield of Nujiang River—it can be attacked when advancing, and it can be defended when retreating.

It also forms horns with Tengchong and Longling counties, echoing each other.

The Songshan Mountain is inaccessible, the Yunnan-Myanmar Highway is impassable, and transportation is difficult.

If we counterattack Longling and Tengchong, we will gain but lose again.

Therefore, the Battle of Songshan was a key battle in the western campaign of Province Y, known as the Gibraltar of the East.

In 42, the first expeditionary force to enter Burma failed, and the Burma Road was cut off.

The rest of the expeditionary force, who were forced to retreat to the east bank of the Nujiang River, confronted the enemy across the bank. It was against this background that the Battle of Songshan was launched.

The biggest difference between the Songshan Anti-Japanese War Site and other sites is the lifelike statues of child soldiers.

The rise and fall of a country is not just everyone's responsibility.

More than 7000 local children, ranging from eight to 14 years old, spontaneously organized to fight.

They may not even be able to hold their guns, but they tell the people of the country with their actions: the nation has reached the most critical moment, and it is time for us to fight back!

They used actions to tell the enemy: the Chinese nation is unyielding in fighting spirit, and the Chinese nation is not a sick man!

On the eve of the war, the enemy army was very rampant, brazenly declaring: Huaguo wants to take Songshan, it must leave a hundred thousand bones.

The situation faced by the expeditionary force was very difficult.

On the one hand, it is difficult to replenish weapons and equipment, and on the other hand, the source of soldiers is also a big problem.

The army can't recruit too many young and middle-aged men. In this case, the conditions for recruiting soldiers of the expeditionary army, especially the age, drop again and again.

Only then did the child soldiers in the Battle of Songshan come into being.

These dolls are basically homeless orphans.

Some parents were brutally killed, and some had difficult family life because of the war.

Most of them are between 13-15 years old, and the youngest is only 9 years old.

At first, these child soldiers were only doing logistical work in the expeditionary force, and were also trained in some subjects of carrying guns and fighting.

Later on the battlefield, he became a child soldier.

Relevant data show that the number of child soldiers participating in the Songshan Battle at that time was as high as 7000.

Before the battle started, a foreign reporter was allowed to interview.

When he saw those child soldiers, he was very surprised.

Just ask the commander of Huaguo: "Aren't these children your future?"

"How can you let them go to the battlefield... If they all die on the battlefield, do you have a future!"

The commander was silent for a long time after hearing this.

After that, he said very tragically: "For this sake, if they don't go to the battlefield, our country may have no future!"

These child soldiers are not scared to pee their pants amid the sound of guns and guns on the battlefield like some dramas today.

A reporter asked a child soldier: "What do you want to do when the war is over?"

Without even thinking about it, the child soldier said, "Go home to herd cattle, farm the land, be an apprentice... and then go to the big city when life is better..."

Another reporter asked another child soldier: "The battlefield is so dangerous and cruel, what if you die?"

The baby soldier thought for a while and said, "I can't possibly die...Hua will surely win!"

A 9-year-old child soldier named Zhang Quansheng was captured by the enemy during the battle.

He was not at all afraid of the enemy's torture and torture.

The enemy asked Zhang Quansheng: "Aren't you afraid of death?"

He said, "Even if I die, the country of Hua will live forever!"

Zhang Quansheng's immature voice gave the enemy a final shock.

There is a picture of a child soldier that has been circulating for a long time on the Internet.

The baby soldier in the photo is holding two large water jugs, with a shy and joyful face, giving a thumbs up to the camera.

The "doll" in the photo is called Chen Youli, who was born in April 31 and is a veteran.

Both of Chen Youli's parents died when he was 11 years old, and he fled to Province Y with the refugees alone.

At the age of 12, he was taken in by a groom of the Expeditionary Army and helped herd the horses, and later became a company commander's orderly.

That photo was taken at the end of '44.

At that time, the expeditionary force successfully recovered Longling, and the enemy fled along the Burma Highway.

Reporters from the beautiful country came to interview. Upon approval, Chen Youli posed in a three-way intersection and asked the reporters to take pictures.

Chen Youli said that the reporter gave him two biscuits when he saw that he was still young and childish.

As for the two kettles in the photo, one belongs to the company commander and the other belongs to himself.

Chen Youli said that after every battle, many people died on the battlefield.

Moreover, Hua Guo died more in battle, and the enemy died less in battle, the ratio was about seven to one.

Today's data shows that the casualty ratio between the enemy and the enemy in the Songshan Battle was 1:6.2.

The adults fired up all the children. In the Battle of Songshan, more than 1000 child soldiers died.
