In the northern suburbs of Fushun City, today Nanling of Liandao Village, Hebei Township, Shuncheng District, there is a place where heroes and martyrs are buried. The remains of 90 martyrs who died heroically during the Liandao Bay Blockade, the liberation of Fushun and the socialist construction were buried. In 2014, the Shuncheng Martyrs Cemetery was built here. A few days ago, we followed the party members and cadres from Hebei Township, Shuncheng District to this martyr's cemetery to pay tribute to the martyrs and relive the unforgettable red memory.
On that day, the Shuncheng Martyrs Cemetery against the backdrop of white granite and black marble was very solemn and solemn. The first thing that caught my eye was the towering Liandao Bay Martyrs' Monument. There are 4 groups of lifelike large-scale reliefs on both sides of the monument. , These groups of large-scale reliefs not only vividly restore the battle scenes at that time, but also bring our thoughts to the age of fire and smoke.
The Liandao Bay blocking battle took place at the beginning of the liberation war. In March 1946, the 52nd Kuomintang Army, stationed in Mantang Village, northeastern Shenyang, attacked Fushun. On March 20, in order to ensure the safe transfer of our party and government organs and seize the favorable opportunity to eliminate the enemy's living forces, Wan Yi, commander of the seventh column of the Northeast Democratic Allied Forces, commanded the first division and the seventh column of the 19th, 20th and Baotou 3 brigades. The ten regiments of the group entered Liandaowan, Ditai, and Feiniutun (now Youai) in the northwest of Fushun to set up ambush to block the enemy. Liang Xingchu, the commander of the first division, led his troops to set up ambushes in Hujiagou, Guanyin Pavilion, and Feiniutun; the 19th Brigade set up ambushes in Fangxiaodonggou, Liandaowan, Nianpangou, and Xiajin; the third guard division, Peng Longfei, led his troops in Ditai, Gebu Beigou set up ambush.
It was around 9 o'clock in the sun, and battles on various battlefields started one after another. Wan Yi's command post was located in the villagers' homes in the back mountain of Liandao Bay at that time.The battles on various battlefields were extremely fierce. Due to the simple weapons and equipment of our army and insufficient ammunition, hand-to-hand battles frequently occurred in the battle for positions. The battle continued until about 4:30 p.m. the next day. Our army inflicted heavy losses on the enemy, wiped out more than a thousand people, stopped the enemy's attack, and won the battle of blocking. At the same time, our army also paid a heavy price. One company of the 19th brigade fighting in Liandao Bay had more than 100 people, and in the end there were only 6 people left, and all of them were wounded.
During a day of fierce fighting, the villagers braved the hail of bullets to deliver ammunition to the Democratic Alliance Army, carry stretchers, rescue the wounded, and actively supported the front. The remains of 28 Democratic Alliance Army martyrs were buried in Nangou, Shanghuang Village, Huiyuan Township. Since then, the local people have called it "Balugou", and they pay tribute every year and pay homage every year.
The Liandao Bay blocking battle was the first battle of the Chinese Communist Party in the Fushun area during the liberation war, and it was also an important turning point for our party, government and army to implement the strategic shift from urban to rural areas. The Liandao Bay blocking battle successfully covered the safe transfer of Peng Zhen and other leading comrades from the Northeast Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and our party and government organs; successfully eliminated the enemy's living strength and smashed the enemy's arrogance; further expanded the Communist Party and the people's army At the same time, it also cultivated the people's awareness of loving the party, supporting the army, and supporting the front.
In order to remember this history forever, in 2014, Shuncheng District decided to build a martyr's cemetery on this piece of land stained with blood by the martyrs to further inspire people to be strong and educate people to cherish the hard-won happy life today. The cemetery is currently a patriotic education base in Fushun City, and has become one of the important bases for education in patriotism, revolutionary heroism and revolutionary traditions.
Nowadays, Party members, cadres and people of Liandao Village are striving continuously on this red hot land, and are vigorously developing the collective economy based on planting green organic agriculture, basically forming a multi-faceted farmhouse, organic rice planting, corn straw utilization, etc. The industrial structure is changing, and a better future is constantly being created!
