Sichuan Soldiers Fighting Fiercely in China

During the Anti-Japanese War, a total of 9 military airports were built in Sichuan, including 4 strategic bombing airports (Xinjin, Pengshan, Guanghan, Qionglai) and 5 expulsion airports including Mingshan and Shuangliu. They were collectively referred to as special projects. On June 16, 1944, the Chinese and American air forces launched a long-distance bombing of the Japanese mainland from Sichuan, which attracted world attention. CBS correspondent Stuart Stuart reported: "Such a huge airport was built by hundreds of thousands of Chinese farmers. The manpower is so huge that it will take two thousand years to build the Great Wall." It's rare." The people of Sichuan built more than 2,000 kilometers of Sichuan-Yunnan, Sichuan-Shaanxi and other national defense highways under the condition of shouldering the burden, and paid a huge price. For example, when building the Le (Shan) west (Chang) Highway, more than 1,400 migrant workers were sacrificed to open up the 7-kilometer section of Yanwogou.
