Introduction to the Martyrs Cemetery: The Martyrs Cemetery was built in April 1986 to commemorate the more than 8,500 martyrs of the Shanxi-Hebei-Shandong-Henan Field Army who died in the Yangshan battle. The Battle of Yangshanji was the most important and arduous battle in the entire southwest Shandong campaign. It was in the midsummer heat, with heavy rains, and the environment was extremely difficult. The equipment between the enemy and ourselves was also extremely disparate. The enemy held on despite the danger, and many outstanding officers and soldiers of our army Sleep here.
