The Tomb of the Unnamed Revolutionary Martyrs in Guanghua Village, Guanghua Town

The Tomb of the Unnamed Revolutionary Martyrs in Guanghua Village, Guanghua Town, is located on the western hilltop of Guanghua Village, the seat of the town government in Guanghua Town, Tonghua County, about 1 kilometer from the village center. It covers an area of 600 square meters, with a protected area of 300 square meters. Construction began in April 1975, and renovations and expansions were carried out in September 2006.

On January 30, 1947, the Nationalist army launched a second offensive against our Linjiang area with three divisions. Our participating forces cooperated closely and by February 8 had annihilated more than 5,200 Nationalist troops, thwarting the enemy’s second attack. On February 13, 1947, the Nationalist army mustered all available mobile forces—nearly four divisions—for an even larger-scale offensive against our Linjiang area. Our forces fought bravely, and by March 24, a total of over 14,000 Nationalist troops had been eliminated in this battle. Although these two defensive battles achieved major victories, our forces also suffered significant casualties. In various towns and villages across Tonghua County, there are tombs for revolutionary martyrs of the “Four Defenses of Linjiang” campaign, mainly commemorating soldiers from the 3rd and 4th Columns of the Liaodong Military District of the Northeast Democratic Allied Army who sacrificed their lives. The Tomb of the Unnamed Martyrs in Guanghua Village, Guanghua Town, is one of them, housing the remains of five soldiers. The tombstone is inscribed with the words: “Forever remember the martyrs who valiantly sacrificed their lives for the liberation of the Chinese people.”

The site has been maintained and put to use. (Provided by the Party School of the CPC Tonghua County Committee)
