Raid on the Yangfangkou Railway Station Ruins

The Raid on the Yangfangkou Railway Station Ruins is a cultural relic protection unit of Ningwu County and a classic red tourism site.

The Raid on the Yangfangkou Railway Station Ruins is located at the railway station in Yangfangkou Village, Yangfangkou Town, Ningwu County. During the War of Resistance Against Japan, after the Japanese invasion, they built a railway station here to plunder coal resources. The raid occurred on August 21, 1940, when the 714th Regiment of the 120th Division of the Eighth Route Army attacked the Yangfangkou Station on the northern section of the Tongpu Railway in order to disrupt the Japanese transportation line. This battle resulted in the killing of 180 Japanese soldiers and the capture of 21 rifles and 2 military sabers. The site of the battle was the original waiting room. By the 1970s–1980s, a new waiting room was built, and the original one was abandoned. In 1985, it was designated as a county-level cultural relic protection unit by the People's Government of Ningwu County.
