Did the victorious side clean up the battlefield after the war, and how did the dead people on both sides deal with it?

At the beginning of Tashan's blocking war, Hou Jingru, commander of Chiang Kai-shek's eastward advance corps, had not yet arrived, and the various parts of the battlefield were under the unified command of Kanhanqian, commander of the 54th Army. This is an expert of the expeditionary force who once crossed the Nujiang River in western Yunnan. He braved the bullets to climb Jilong Mountain opposite Tashan Village and personally observed the bid. Roach, the chief inspector of the field, called a meeting of 95 officers above the platoon level of independent divisions and organized a "brave team" at the price of 5 million gold coupons each. The intensity of his attack was unprecedented in the whole Northeast Liberation War.

However, under the tenacious resistance of the heroic Dongye 4th and 11th verticals, the so-called Jin Dong Corps was not completely conquered until Jinzhou, but it still failed to cross the Tashan defense line, and many bodies were abandoned on the battlefield, totaling more than 7,000. Hou Jingru and his men were able to bury some bodies a few days before the battle, but when they heard that Jinzhou was conquered, they were worried that the main force of Dongye would turn around and kill them, and they hurried back, leaving many bodies on the battlefield.

After the battle, people in Tashan village returned to the village and saw that a large area of yellow land in the southwest of the village was all "dead" (the name of the corpse in the early years of Northeast China). There is a small river in the southwest of the village, about 30 meters wide (the author visited it on the spot two years ago, because it is already very narrow because of lack of water). According to legend, during the war in the late Ming Dynasty, Prince Rui of the Qing Dynasty camped here, hence the name ". As a result, in the six days and six nights of repeated tug-of-war, the Yinma River has been dead everywhere, which shows that the war is fierce.

At this point, the main force of the Northeast Field Army has gone north to annihilate the Liao Yaoxiang Corps in western Liaoning. As the main force left Tashan, the political department of Dongye organized the local government and called on the people to help clean up the battlefield and bury the bodies. Anyway, military uniforms are easy to identify. The martyrs of our army should be identified and confirmed by the representatives of the troops one by one, and then washed and buried. After liberation, these remains were moved to the "Liaoshen Battle Martyrs Cemetery" in Jinzhou, where there are many walls with the names of martyrs.

Restricted by conditions, it is relatively simple to deal with the bodies of Chiang Kai-shek's dead officers and soldiers. People from nearby villages went out together and buried most of them in situ. Because of the cold weather, it is very difficult to dig a hole, so we have to use ready-made fortifications and trenches to put the body in and fill it with soil. Even so, it is still not completely buried. The following spring, the fields were cleared and buried without the government calling on the cultivators. There's no way. We'll plant the land soon after the weather gets warmer.

In Jinzhou City, not far from Tashan Mountain, the local armed forces were responsible for collecting the bodies of Dongye martyrs, while the local government mobilized a large number of citizens to clean up and transport the bodies of Chiang Kai-shek officers and soldiers. There is a special record in The Complete Biography of Lin Biao: Jinzhou spared no effort to pack the bodies in cars for more than half a month, with dozens of people in a car, and dragged them outside the city for burial. Geng Fusi, an old citizen, recalled: "In those days, all the cars and cars that entered and exited did this. At first they were afraid, but then there was nothing. There is no need to dig a hole. There are many fortifications outside the city, which is very convenient. "

In the Battle of Jinzhou, Fan killed more than 24,000 people, but not all of them died in Jinzhou, and there were also a lot of casualties in Yixian, Bailutun and Fenshui. Therefore, it is estimated that there are about 20,000 bodies in the city. That is to say, people have to move about 2,000 bodies every day, and the psychological pressure can be imagined. Rao is so. During the capital construction a few years ago, the body was still dug up.

All of the above happened during the period when our army gained decisive advantage in Northeast China. Before the Liaoshen campaign started, after each annihilation battle in Dongye, the bodies of our martyrs were buried first, and then the local people were organized to return the bodies of Chiang Kai-shek officers and soldiers. This is also a humanitarian spirit and a political offensive. For example, at the beginning of 65438+ 1 in 948, after Dongye wiped out the new fifth army in Chen Linda, each column took a regiment as a unit and sent a company to clean the battlefield and clean up the bodies. Because there is no ankle in cold weather, it will not rot.

The soldiers put the body away first, then sent a letter to Shenyang before the evacuation, and the enemy sent a car to carry it away. In other battles, if conditions permit, personnel will be organized to directly return the bodies of dead enemy soldiers. General Xiao Hua in a telegram to the wild temple, once reported the return of the body and launched a political offensive:

"Back to the dead, statistics have not yet been made, and the longitudinal groups posted eulogy and elegiac couplets on the coffin respectively. Seven or eight people were sent a day, and a trumpeter came back and said that enemy officers prohibited soldiers from coming out to watch. 25D (division) replied politely after receiving the body, and 14D (division) scolded, resulting in the phenomenon of detaining and transporting more than 70 people, which had a great impact. It is reported that the whole company shed tears.

The message date is April 28th, 1947. Obviously, this incident should be a battle episode in the "Four Guarantees Linjiang" in the Nanman Military Region.

Our army has the support of the people and has done a good job. According to my grandfather, the Soviet Union won seven wars, and the first battle of Xuanbao was not far from my home. Migrant workers are responsible for logistics, transporting ammunition, food and grass, transporting the wounded, and burying the dead soldiers. There are 500-600 soldiers buried in the Martyrs Cemetery in my hometown. The battalion commander and instructor are the highest level. The two of them were buried with thin-skinned coffins, and the thin-skinned coffins were in the first place and in the leading position. There are 5-6 soldiers in a pit, and the area is not large. What cannot be buried has been transported to another place more than ten kilometers away by migrant workers. Since childhood, we have organized schools in Tomb-Sweeping Day to pay homage to martyrs. A few years ago, the country was rebuilt. People's heroes are immortal!

1938101On October 27th, the Japanese invaders 15 division occupied Hanyang from Wuchang, marking the end of the four and a half-month Wuhan Battle.

At first, in order to contain the Japanese attack and realize the strategic intention of "exchanging space for time", the Kuomintang government of China invested about 6,543.8+million troops with poor weapons and equipment to fight to the death with the Japanese troops equipped with planes, cannons, tanks and poison gas in the hot Dabie Mountain foothills and Jianghan Plain. However, due to insufficient logistics and epidemic diseases during the hot summer, officers and men made great sacrifices.

According to the statistics of the Second Army and the Eleventh Army of the Japanese Army, 52,000 bodies of Kuomintang troops and143,400 bodies were found in front of the two armies respectively.

From the conclusion drawn by the Japanese army, it can be seen that it is impossible for the Kuomintang army to take away the bodies of the dead officers and men when moving. After all, the military situation is like fire. In the final stage of the battle, how to retreat from the whole division and ensure the minimum loss of the army is the key.

The Japanese army can get such accurate data, which is obviously learned after cleaning the battlefield as a victorious party. But will the Japanese, who have always been cruel to China's soldiers and civilians, take the initiative to deal with the China Army190,000 bodies they saw? Obviously not. You know, the Japanese army invested about 300 thousand people in the Wuhan battle, with about 90 thousand casualties. After disposing of nearly 200,000 enemy bodies distributed in thousands of square kilometers in Fiona Fang, the Japanese army is not allowed to disperse all the troops? Needless to say, because the troops were scattered, they would be suddenly attacked by the Japanese army, which was a big threat to the Japanese army when the heat was unbearable and the epidemic was prevalent.

What's more, the four-month battle in Wuhan also weakened the Japanese army and only got an empty city.

Therefore, we can draw a conclusion that even if the victorious party cleans the battlefield, except collecting useful materials, it will basically not touch the bodies of the other soldiers, but wait for nature or ordinary people to deal with them, but there will basically be no ordinary people around the battlefield.

Since ancient times, it is often necessary to clean the battlefield after the war, and the most important task of cleaning the battlefield is to dispose of the bodies of the dead on both sides. So, who usually cleans the battlefield? What about the enemy and the bodies of the enemy?

Cleaning the battlefield: usually handled by the victorious side, but there are exceptions. There is no doubt that battlefield cleaning is usually done by the victorious side. After all, the defeated party has often left the war zone and has no time or ability to clean up the battlefield. Of course, there are exceptions to everything. In some special circumstances, the work of cleaning the battlefield will be done by others.

1, reinforcements are in charge. If the losing side retreats, the winning side needs to pursue the enemy, so it is naturally too late to clean up the battlefield. In this case, the battlefield is often cleaned by the reinforcements of the victorious side. After all, the soldiers are expensive. This situation has been common since ancient times.

2. Their respective armies. This often happens in the case of confrontation between the two sides, that is, the end of a battle is not enough to completely decide the outcome. In this case, the two sides often send some people to clean the battlefield and collect the wounded and bodies. This phenomenon is particularly common in modern wars. Soldiers in charge of collecting the wounded and dead often carry the Red Cross sign, and no one is allowed to attack. Of course, these people are not allowed to carry weapons.

3. local people. This situation will only happen when both warring parties are unable to clean the battlefield, so local people or people organized by the government spontaneously clean the battlefield. In fact, this kind of situation is not uncommon. It happened during the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression period.

4. Special institutions. This kind of situation is relatively rare, basically only happening in modern times, or the warring parties are unable to clean up the battlefield, or the two sides have no consciousness of disposing of the bodies at all. In this case, the Red Cross, peacekeeping forces and other special institutions are often responsible for cleaning up the battlefield.

These are the situations in which the victors are mainly responsible for cleaning the battlefield in the war. Although the victors are usually responsible for the war, due to various special circumstances, other forces often clean up the battlefield.

Clean up the body: usually buried in situ, but there are exceptions. Whether for humanitarian reasons or to avoid more casualties caused by the plague, the disposal of corpses on the battlefield is extremely important. Apart from the fact that the main generals will be transported back to their original places for burial or buried alone, the bodies of ordinary soldiers have been disposed of in the following six ways since ancient times.

△ Changping Ancient Battlefield Site

1, buried in situ. This is the most common treatment. If conditions permit, the bodies of our own soldiers are generally buried separately, so that they can be buried peacefully. The bodies of the enemy are not so easy to deal with. Usually, several or even dozens of big pits are dug to push the body for burial. It's simpler to find some natural deep valleys and throw the bodies in and bury them. For example, the battle between Changping, Qin and Zhao, according to the modern excavation of the ancient battlefield site in Changping, found some natural gullies at that time, and threw the bodies of Zhao who died in battle and Zhao prisoners who were executed into it for burial.

Let it go. This method is usually only used when the weather is cold, or when the wind and sand are heavy and the environment is dry. After all, only this special environment will ensure that the corpse is not easy to rot and deteriorate, which will lead to the occurrence of plague. Of course, the main target here is the enemy's body. After disposing of his own body, sometimes the enemy's body will remain intact on the battlefield, allowing birds, animals, insects and ants to share food and eventually rot into bones. In Du Fu's "Military Vehicle Shop", there are words such as "Go to the blue sea, look along the coast, look at all the bones and be forgotten".

3. cremation. The ancients paid attention to "being buried in the ground." Although everyone was an enemy before his death, after all, the deceased was big, and the smell produced by burning a large number of bodies was really unpleasant. Therefore, although cremation gradually became popular from the Song Dynasty, it was rarely used in ancient China. However, this way is more common in the west, because they think that flame can purify people's souls and make the dead ascend to heaven. But, after all, the body is not flammable. In modern times, they can also provide fuel by pouring gasoline. In ancient times, it was not so easy. So this method is often only applicable to small-scale battles. This is probably one of the reasons why this method is popular in the west, but rarely appears in the East. After all, the scale of the war between the East and the West is still very different.

4. Build a "wait and see". Simply put, it is to pile up the bodies of the enemy. On the one hand, it can show off its achievements, on the other hand, it will also form a great deterrent to the enemy. Of course, this method usually appears when the attacker wins. After all, it is in an enemy country, and even if there is a plague, its own losses will not be too great. For example, in the History of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, it is recorded that "Pan Dang asked to build Kim's body into the Jing Guan", and Zhang Fu was ordered to attack Annan in the Ming Dynasty, killing more than 2,000 prisoners of war and building the Jing Guan.

5. As weapons. This method is cruel, that is, using the bodies of dead soldiers as weapons, deliberately throwing them into enemy cities to create pestilence, so as to achieve the goal of breaking the city. For example, in 1347, the Mongolian army besieged Kafa City for three years and failed to break it, but Mongolian reinforcements brought plague, resulting in thousands of soldiers dying every day. As a result, the Mongolian army threw the bodies of soldiers who died of the "plague" into Kafa city through slings, which caused a large number of infections among the residents of this city and quickly flowed to the west through Genoa merchants, which was also the source of the Black Death that once swept Europe.

6. As food. Although this method is cruel, it is not unheard of in history. There is a record in the Biography of the Three Kingdoms, Shu Wei and Cheng Yuchuan that "the first Mao (Cao Cao) was short of food, and he neglected to match three times a day in this county, which was quite confusing." At that time, Cao Jun was short of food and grass, so he mixed it with human flesh and gave it to soldiers for three days at a time. In the case of insufficient rations, it is understandable to take such a frenzied approach. During the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, some ethnic Hu people's regimes regarded the old, weak, women and children as military food, and called them "two-legged sheep". During the "Huang Chao Rebellion" in the Tang Dynasty, when Qin Zongquan marched, he also used cars to carry salt corpses as rations, plundered the people and the king everywhere, and cooked at will, which was simply insane.

As mentioned above, there are usually the above five methods to dispose of corpses in ancient battlefields, among which in-situ burial is a common way, while others are relatively rare, which is why "corpse pits" are often found in modern ancient battlefield sites.

In the long history of mankind, war is always the highlight of historical materials, and it is also the talk of people. In a war, no matter the winner or the loser, one problem cannot be avoided, that is, cleaning the battlefield. This is not the winner's patent, but the behavior of both sides.

As the saying goes, if you kill ten thousand, you will lose three thousand. In modern warfare, due to advanced equipment, we can kill the enemy to the maximum extent and reduce our own casualties. But in ancient wars, hand-to-hand combat was always the mainstream, so even the winners would have great casualties.

Therefore, the winner cleans the battlefield, in addition to collecting trophies, another important task is to collect the bodies of his own war dead and help the injured. This is a very heavy workload. As for the bodies of the enemy, they are usually disposed of casually after cutting off their heads or noses and ears to prove their merits and demerits. There are three most common treatment methods:

A bloody ancient battlefield

First of all, no matter this is the most common treatment, this treatment is generally limited to exploration. Du Fu wrote in "Car Repair Shop": Go to the blue sea, look along the coast, and look at all the abandoned old bones. The new ghost cries with grievances, which is loudest in the dark sky on a stormy day.

At the end of the Tang Dynasty, Qinghai was the main battlefield of Tang Jun and Tubo. The two sides have been at war for nearly 200 years, and they have won and lost each other. In the vast Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the mountain roads are rugged and the traffic is inconvenient. Neither the Tang Dynasty nor the Tubo were willing to pull the body back to their hinterland. As a result, there are bones everywhere, and it is difficult to tell whether they are Tang people or Tubo people.

Nanzhao Dehua monument

Secondly, it is relatively friendly to burn or bury the body. There is one of the most famous records of the disposal of corpses in history, namely Tianbao 1 1 and Tianbao 13, the two wars between Tang Dynasty and Nanzhao.

In fact, these two wars were untenable in the Tang Dynasty. It was the Tang Dynasty that started the war and it was the Tang Dynasty that failed. According to historical records, the number of soldiers killed by Tang Jun in Erhai Lake, Cangshan, Yunnan reached 654.38+0.3 million. These bodies of soldiers killed in the Tang Dynasty cannot be claimed by Tang Jun. After all, hundreds of bodies will rot even if they are only transported to Sichuan.

Nanzhao chose to gather the bodies of these soldiers who died in the Tang Dynasty and record the ins and outs of these two wars, and named them "Nanzhao Dehua Monument". On the one hand, it shows that it doesn't want to fight against the Tang Dynasty, on the other hand, it shows that the fact is that the Tang Dynasty made mistakes first. This monument is called the first monument in Yunnan and still exists today.

The War between Sui Dynasty and Koguryo

Third, the idea of building Beijing is the bloodiest and most inhuman way to dispose of corpses. Once this method is used, it means that the two countries are sworn enemies.

To build a view of Beijing is to seal the remains of enemy war dead with mud and build a series of earthen bags full of human bones. The view of Beijing is often based on the battlefield or the border, which is a demonstration, but also a humiliation and provocation.

When Yang Di attacked North Korea, General Laihuer led 300,000 navy troops to cross the sea to attack Baekje, which was eventually wiped out. Only a few thousand people returned to the Central Plains alive in the Sui Dynasty.

Koguryo people hated the Sui Dynasty, so they put all the bodies of the soldiers killed in Koguryo in the Sui Dynasty as a view of Beijing to show off and provoke. The Sui Dynasty was unable to take revenge because of domestic chaos. It was not until the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty that the bones of these Sui Jun soldiers returned to the Central Plains.

Ancient beacon tower

Conclusion: War is always cruel, and most people who die in battle, no one will care what to do with the bodies. As Cao Cao wrote in Howe Li Xing, white bones are exposed in the wild, and there are no crows thousands of miles away. We see that the war in historical materials is nothing more than a few words, or even a few words. These words are bloody and desperate. We can feel it, we just feel it.

War is the eternal theme of mankind. As long as there are people, there will be war, and if there is war, people will die. After a great war, there were countless bodies lying on the battlefield. How to deal with the bodies of these soldiers has always been a difficult problem.

In ancient times, due to low productivity and underdeveloped transportation, it was not easy to transport the remains home, and even they were buried in the battlefield. Most of the time, the bodies are exposed in the wilderness and eaten by wild dogs, which is terrible. "White bones are exposed in the wild, there are no crows in a thousand miles", "You can't see the head of Qinghai, it's an abandoned old white bone", "Poor white bones have no boundary along the river, you are still a dream girl" and so on. These poems all describe the tragic images of corpses lying everywhere and white bones piled up in the ancient battlefield in a highly realistic way.

However, the farther back, the more people pay attention to the bodies on the battlefield. This is not only the fear of plague, but also many factors such as humanitarianism, faith, cohesion of troops and so on. Let's take the Vietnam War as an example.

In the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam, both China and Vietnam in the war have a tradition of not discarding the bodies of their comrades. According to the frontline veterans, sometimes the Vietnamese army even killed several people in order to grab the bodies of their comrades-in-arms, and our army sometimes "surrounded the bodies to help".

In Yunnan, when the weather is hot, corpses will soon rot and stink, which may not only cause infectious diseases, but also deal a great blow to morale. Imagine that the remains of comrades who live together day and night are exposed without dignity and let maggots bite. Anyone will definitely feel distressed when they see them. So sometimes in the front of the war, even under heavy artillery fire, commandos should be organized to rob the remains.

According to the combatants, a veteran risked his life to come to a body, but the body was highly corrupt and could not be transported completely. The veteran kept apologizing for the remains, while pulling out the bones of the martyrs and carrying them in woven bags. It can be seen that the war is fierce.

During the fierce battle, the Vietnamese army lost hundreds of bodies in front of the position. Even wearing gas masks, the stench of these rotted bodies can't be stopped. Finally, our army issued leaflets to the Vietnamese army, asking them to send people to disarm and collect the bodies after the battle.

After the body is recovered, the aftermath is also very strict. For every martyr who died, we must strictly register his native place, age, military rank, time and place of sacrifice. Some bodies have been unrecognizable since they were shipped back. At this time, it will be stored in the cold room first, and then a special person will be sent to investigate and check the troops and their files when the soldiers join the army to ensure that every martyr is correctly claimed.

After these tasks are completed, the bodies will be sorted out and photographed. This is not a simple arrangement, and it is as detailed as the autopsy teacher. Even if some bodies have rotted and maggots are born, they should be cleaned up bit by bit with cotton swabs dipped in alcohol; If the abdomen is broken and the internal organs are exposed, the fortress will go back and sew it again; Broken limbs should be mended with straw or other things, and then wear military uniforms. Party member should also build party flag, all in order to let the martyrs walk with dignity.

After the disposal, the last step is to put the urn into the fire. Soldiers present, regardless of rank and position, must take off their hats to pay tribute. After cremation, they need special supervision to prevent the ashes from being misplaced, and they must ensure that each urn is delivered to their loved ones accurately. During the war, our army bought marble urns at the price of 60 yuan, which was very expensive at that time, but those martyrs who sacrificed for the motherland and the people could bear such treatment.

War has been a human problem since ancient times. It can be said that as long as there are human beings and as long as there are conflicts, war is inevitable.

War kills people, and the dead clean up the battlefield.

The reason for cleaning up the battlefield is that the people who died in battle are heroes. In order to get the minimum respect and return to their hometown, their bodies must be buried, and even a grand funeral will be held.

Second, these bodies must be disposed of, otherwise if some diseases are caused, infectious diseases will kill more people. Therefore, since ancient times, as long as there are people who died on the battlefield, it is often necessary to clean up the remains on the battlefield.

So, is it the winner or the loser who cleans the battlefield?

Throughout the history of China, there is no fixed statement about this, and they often bury soldiers who died in their own country. Because the people who died in battle, for their own position, are heroes, and they can't be allowed to throw their bodies in the wilderness.

During the Qin Dynasty, Qin Mugong fought a war, and once it was defeated, most of the troops were killed. It can be said that I fled back, and I fled in a hurry.

In this way, no one buried the bodies of people who died on the battlefield on their side. Besides, it's cold and snowy. Qin Mugong didn't go to collect the bodies for several months, but waited until the snow melted next spring before sending people back to the battlefield to bury these heroes.

It took several months during this period, so if you don't bury your own side, the other side won't collect the body for you.

The rule on the battlefield is often kill or bury.

Of course, the scale of this campaign is not that big, and there are not so many dead people. So, in the end, these bodies were picked up by our own people and buried.

But sometimes there will be large-scale battles, with hundreds of thousands of people fighting on the battlefield, just like the battle between Qin and Zhao in Changping.

In this battle, all the people of Zhao were killed, and 400 thousand troops were killed. In this case, it is basically impossible to collect the body again.

However, the leitian of the victorious country solved this problem for Zhao. They buried these remains in several big pits. In recent years, archaeologists have also discovered burial pits.

In fact, in ancient wars, if there were mass deaths, this burial method was basically chosen. Whether winners or losers, it is to bury those who died in the pit.

So, is there such a situation? After the soldiers died, no one took their bodies.

Not to mention, this kind of thing happens from time to time. Especially when fighting against ethnic minorities, such as the Huns in the Han Dynasty and the Turks in the Tang Dynasty. .....

Didn't Du Fu have a poem, "Who can marry and live in a neighbor's house, but we bury the boy under the soil?" It means that there are frequent wars. When a person dies, no one takes his body and buries it in the weeds.

In a word, the war is cruel, and the disposal of these bodies is decided by what form, what result and what opponent the war is.

However, most of them will be buried.

During War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the War of Liberation, most of the bodies were buried in situ. Because of the intensive war and all kinds of uncertainties, we can't think of other ways to dispose of the body. The only quick and effective way to make the dead get dignity is to bury them on the spot.

Of course, what we are talking about is basically ordinary soldiers. In the case of a large number of deaths in battle, if a higher-ranking official is killed, it is to take back the body and bury it in his hometown.

In fact, these officials have deep feelings for soldiers. After they died in the battle, it goes without saying that the soldiers will fight for their lives and take their bodies back.

Therefore, it is customary to bury bodies after the war, and most of them are buried by our own soldiers who died in battle.

Usually, the battlefield is cleaned by the victorious side. However, while capturing a large number of trophies, how to solve the tens of millions of bodies on both sides has become a thorny issue.

Generally speaking, unless your body is in a hurry and you can't take care of it, you will make proper arrangements, or at least dig a grave on the spot for burial. Enemy bodies are not so lucky. In war, there are usually three ways to solve each other's bodies:

The first one is called "corpse mountain", which is a barbaric habit formed from slavery society. In ancient wars, when cleaning the battlefield, the winning side usually piled the enemy's bodies into pyramid-shaped hills to show its great military achievements.

The second is "mass graves", which is a relatively simple and time-saving treatment method and is widely used in large-scale battlefields. The winner dug a big hole on the spot and buried the bodies of both sides. The advantage of this method is that it saves time and belongs to a slightly humanized way.

The third type is fire, which is often used in cases of urgent marching or quick decision. The victors burned the corpses of both sides together, which is relatively simple and quick, and can also avoid the adverse effects such as the spread of plague caused by the stench of corpses.

In addition, there are many ways to deal with corpses in the war, such as beheading for public display and cutting off ears as trophies. They are all cruel and violent, so I won't go into details here.

Thank you for your question.

War is ruthless. Throughout the human war, there is no immortal body, especially the war between the two sides is in a stalemate, and the smell of gunpowder on the battlefield is very strong. The two sides are at daggers drawn, a domineering gesture of annexation.

In the cold weapon era of the ancient battlefield, soldiers used bows, arrows and spears on horseback, which generally destroyed each other. Of course, the victorious side cleans the battlefield, mostly burying the soldiers killed on the spot, sometimes for a short time, regardless of the enemy and the enemy. Except for the general, all will be buried separately.

In modern wars, the use of firearms has great lethality, with relentless artillery fire, blocking war, annihilation war, attack war and countless casualties. Generally, the winning party will also dispose of the body. Some humanitarians usually negotiate temporarily, inform the defeated party, go to the front to collect the bodies of their comrades-in-arms, and agree that they will transport the bodies back. During War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, the Eighth Route Army informed the Japanese invaders to take back the bodies of soldiers.

During the War of Liberation, Chiang Kai-shek's bandit troops launched a civil war, all of which killed their own compatriots. Usually, the bodies of soldiers from both sides are settled through consultation. However, the war is about to break out, and in the stalemate stage, the winner usually disposes of the bodies of the dead soldiers. During the "Battle of South Malaysia" of the East China Field Army, China * * * invested a large number of troops and fought a war of attrition for seven days and seven nights, killing nearly 20,000 people on both sides. The East China Field Army in Su Yu successfully withdrew from the battle, and the local people buried the soldiers' bodies on the spot. Later, relying on the graves of these soldiers, a "Martyrs Cemetery" was established to commemorate the martyrs who died.

In a word, war is cruel. Humans want peace, not war, and all acts of war against humanity must be resolutely attacked and denounced, so that the world can stay away from war, develop harmoniously as a family, and enjoy the beautiful home of the earth.

If there is a war or other tasks behind, it can only be buried on the spot, or even not buried at all. If you have time, you can bury it centrally. If it is abroad, it can be transported back to China for burial, if not, it can only be buried on the spot.
