The rainstorm on Hubei Expressway washed away 3000 skeletons. How did this happen?

During the construction of Hubei Expressway, workers accidentally found the remains of an ancestor at the construction site. It turned out that the local rainstorm washed away 3000 bones. After archaeology, relevant experts told us a painful history.

Let's start from the beginning. At that time, when the construction workers were digging the roadbed, they suddenly dug up a body. According to common sense, this is not the 1 time of these construction workers. After all, they occasionally dug up some bones and remains in previous projects, but this time it was a bit special, because the workers happened to catch up with the local rainstorm during the construction, except that the worker accidentally dug up a remains, and there was a rainstorm at that time.

This surprised the workers into a cold sweat. After all, thousands of dense bones are displayed in front of workers, and even people with strong psychological endurance can't stand it. So the workers reported the situation to the engineering supervisor urgently. Because too many relics were found, the project supervisor couldn't make up his mind, so he directly contacted the local cultural relics and archaeology department and invited relevant experts to come here for field investigation. After experts from the department of cultural relics and archaeology came to the scene, they initially thought that these relics may be the tombs of a big family in ancient times, that is to say, the location of the relics may be the cemetery of a big family in ancient times, and with the passage of time, a large-scale ancient tomb group has formed here.

However, after careful study by relevant experts, the previous judgment was overturned. First of all, the form of this tomb group is not like a family cemetery, because these bones are displayed in rows and there are no traces of coffins. Besides many bones, no funerary objects have been found here, which looks like a collective burial. So the relevant experts consulted the local county annals and made a technical analysis of these bones. Finally, experts

It turned out that after consulting the restraining order, relevant experts found that this site was the location of a temporary battlefield hospital during the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression period. At that time, the hospital was responsible for receiving wounded soldiers on the battlefield, and these bones were the soldiers who died in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression. After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, all parts of the country were involved in this war, which not only invested huge manpower and material resources, but also paid a huge casualty price. Hubei was also violently attacked by Japan that year.

In this process, the people of Hubei have been stubbornly resisting the attack of the Japanese invaders. In this battle, more than 8000 people died here. After the war, how to arrange the remains of thousands of victims became a difficult problem. After all, there was not much time to bury these sacrificed soldiers one by one, but we can't ignore them. It is against this background that I finally decided to dig a big pit. It was not until more than 80 years later that the heavy rain once again made people find these sacrificed soldiers.

Although it is impossible to name the names one by one now, these sacrificed soldiers are all our national heroes. Without their heroic anti-Japanese war, there would be no good life for us today. Therefore, these people deserve our respect. This rainstorm reminds us of that sad history once again. Although we live in peacetime, we should always remember this history and cherish our precedent.
