At the turn of the spring and summer of the Anti-Japanese War in western Yunnan 1942, after the Japanese invaders captured Myanmar, they immediately put the magic of war into western Yunnan in an attempt to take it directly along the Yunnan-Myanmar highway, and then trapped me all over Yunnan and threatened Chongqing. Since then, Baoshan, located in the southwest pole, has suddenly changed from the rear of the Anti-Japanese War to the forefront. On May 4th, the Japanese invaders invaded Longling, and sent 54 planes to bomb Baoshan, a thousand-year-old city without air defense. On the 5th, the Japanese striker approached the strategic Huitong Bridge in disguise and was effectively blocked by our defenders. On June 5438+00, the Japanese army invaded the border town of Tengchong. At this point, a large area of farmland west of Nujiang River fell into enemy hands. The 7th1Army of the Chinese Expeditionary Force laid fortifications on the east bank of the Nujiang River, with a total length of more than 250 kilometers, starting from the firewood dam in the north and reaching the Sanjiangkou in the south. After many confrontations, the Japanese army's attempt to move eastward was defeated, thus stabilizing the war situation and confronting it across the river for two years. During this period, the Second Preparatory Division and the Thirty-sixth Preparatory Division successively crossed the river and entered Tengchong to cooperate with the people in guerrilla warfare, which caused heavy losses to the enemy many times. At that time, after the Yunnan-Myanmar Highway, which once became the only international traffic artery on land in China, was cut off, a large amount of military materials for aiding China could only be transported by the US Air Force through the "hump route", which was fraught with difficulties, huge risks and difficult to guarantee. In order to regain control and use the Burma Road, the six divisions of the Chinese Expeditionary Force in India and the British and Indian troops jointly launched a counterattack against the Japanese army in northern Myanmar in late 1943+00 10, and achieved initial results. On April 17 of the following year, the enriched Chinese Expeditionary Force made a plan to cross the river. General Wei then led the general headquarters to set up an account in Mawangtun, Baoshan, mobilized and commanded the 11th and 12th Army16th Division, with a total of160,000 people, and launched a deadly attack on the stubborn enemy who had been away for two years. From May of 1 1, General Huo Yizhang led the 20th right-wing army to cross the Nujiang River and attack Gaoligong Mountain. After more than 40 bloody days and nights, Tengchong, a border town, was finally recovered in September of 14. The battle lasted for hundreds of games, and more than 6,000 Japanese troops were wiped out in Tengjing. On May 22nd, General Song Xilian led the 1st 1 1 Army of the left wing to the west and launched the Songshan Campaign, which shocked the whole world with a tragic situation. On September 7th, the main peak of Songshan Mountain was conquered, which created a brilliant example in the history of China's Anti-Japanese War in which more than 3,000 people were on the defensive and no one escaped. Then, the headquarters attacked along the Yunnan-Myanmar Road, expanding the results:165438+Longling was recovered on June 3, and then mangshi, Shefang and Wan Ding were captured. The following year1October 27, the Northern Myanmar Expeditionary Force joined forces at the border with Mangjie. So far, the counter-offensive campaign in western Yunnan, which lasted for more than eight months, has won an all-round victory, wiping out more than 265,438+10,000 enemies and recovering all the lost land in western Yunnan. War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression in western Yunnan is an important part of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression in China and the world anti-fascist war. In this heroic and tragic war, the people of all ethnic groups in Baoshan shared the same enemy, gave everything they had, cooperated with the army to punish traitors, defended powerful foreign enemies, made outstanding contributions to the cause of national liberation, and at the same time made great sacrifices. According to statistics, in the troubled autumn of two years and eight months, Baoshan has killed more than 90 thousand civilians; Migrant workers sacrificed 24,600 people; 28,000 houses were destroyed; 520 sorties were bombed by Japanese planes-only on the day of the May 4th bombing, all the bustling streets, residential areas, institutions and public places in Baoshan city except the northeast corner were bombed into ruins by Japanese planes, killing 10 1344 people on the spot and destroying 3267 houses. The Millennium ancient city suddenly became a sea of blood, and the evil wind was fierce. Since then, the plague has spread, killing more than 60,000 people (according to research, this is a crime committed by unscrupulous Japanese invaders dropping bacterial bombs) ... However, after the disaster, Baoshan people still gritted their teeth and insisted on Kouga, joined the army, supported the former and worked for the army until they won the final victory.
