Introduction to the Shao Bo Defense War Martyrs Cemetery: Shao Bo has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times. During the War of Liberation, the famous Sixth Battle of the Seven Battles and Seven Victories between Jiangsu and China took place in Shaobo - the Defense of Shaobo. From August 23 to 26, 1946, the Central China Field Army fought against the invading Chiang Kai-shek troops who crossed the lake by boat from Yangzhou in the Shaobo area and won a victory. In this battle, more than 2,000 Kuomintang troops were killed and wounded, and the Central China Field Army suffered more than 1,000 casualties. In 1985, the Shao Bo Defense War Martyrs Cemetery was established. It contains monuments, martyrs' tombs, and Shao Bo Defense War Historical Exhibition Hall. It is a "patriotic education base."
