Battlefield Monument

Over the six¿day period from September 14 to 20, 1938, the 115th Division of the Eighth¿Route Army secured three successive victories against Japanese troops in the Lüliang Mountain area. The operations eliminated more than 1,200 enemy soldiers, destroyed nearly 40 motor vehicles and seized large quantities of supplies. The triumph foiled the Japanese army's plan to storm the Yellow River defences and threaten the Shaanxi¿GansüNingxia Border Region, greatly boosting the anti¿Japanese morale of our forces and marking a groundbreaking achievement.Composed in accessible language and presented through varied vivid perspectives, this book recounts the progression and historical implications of the three Lüliang Mountain battles for young¿adult and general readers. It calls upon audiences to honour history and inherit the martyrs' spirit of serving the country. Readers can gather courage for self¿development and forge aspirations of national devotion from the loyalty, commitment, mettle and wisdom demonstrated by heroes amid times of crisis.1938¿9¿14¿¿20¿¿6¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿115¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿1200¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿40¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿
