Construction history

Panshan mausoleum was built on the base of xiaoshicheng and Leshan Library of Jingji villa. The stone sea in the cemetery is the small stone city of the past. There are five or six acres of stone sea, countless huge boulders, feldspars, strange stones, miangu rock, posture, for the world wonders. There are many caves in Shihai, some of which are deep and bottomless. It is also a famous battle site during the Anti Japanese war.

In the spring of 1941, the first battalion of the 13th regiment of the Eighth Route Army made use of this natural barrier to fight against the Japanese army several times for two days and two nights, and won the battle of breaking through the encirclement. Near the cemetery, there are also signs and slogans carved on the rocks in the Anti Japanese war in Eastern Hebei, as well as relics of battlefields, venues, radio stations and newspapers.

Panshan is located in the triangle of Beijing, Tianjin and Tang Dynasty. It has been a must for military strategists since ancient times. After the establishment of the Anti Japanese base in Panshan, it soon became the center of the Anti Japanese war in Eastern Hebei. After the July 7th incident, the Party Central Committee put forward the task of establishing base areas in the enemy occupied areas in the east of Hebei Province.

In June 1938, more than 5000 people from the fourth column of the Eighth Route Army, led by song Shilun, commander, and Deng Hua, political commissar, marched into eastern Hebei in two ways to support the Anti Japanese struggle led by local Party organizations.

In July 1938, an anti Japanese armed uprising was held in Eastern Hebei with 100000 people participating, which dealt a heavy blow to the Japanese aggressors and their traitors. Tens of thousands of people in Panshan county (known as Jixian from 1913 to 2016) participated in the Anti Japanese coalition.

From the end of 1940 to the beginning of 1943, the Anti Japanese base in Panshan continued to grow, which seriously disrupted the arrangement and deployment of the Japanese invading army. The Japanese and puppet forces invaded the Panshan base on a large scale for many times and created many appalling tragedies. Local people described the scene at that time as "looking up at the watchtower, stepping to block the ditch, no village without filial piety, and smoke everywhere.". In the face of the cruel reality, Panshan's militia mobilized the masses and withstood the most severe test by using flexible forms of struggle such as mine warfare and tunnel warfare.

From May 1940, the Japanese army "encircled" the Panshan base. Bao Sen, deputy commander of Jidong military division of the Eighth Route Army, led his troops to beat the Japanese army many times. In June 1941, he turned to fight on the outside line and extended the Anti Japanese base areas to Miyun, Pinggu, Sanhe, Xinglong, Zunhua, Yutian, Baodi and other counties.

In the spring of 1941, the first battalion of the 13th regiment of the Eighth Route Army made use of the natural barrier of Shihai cave in the cemetery to fight against the Japanese army several times for two days and two nights, and won the battle of breaking through the encirclement.

In January 1943, our main forces returned to the east of Hebei Province and finally recovered most of the Panshan base area through several campaigns.

In May 1945, Panshan militia was awarded the title of "militia hero" by the 14th division of Jire Liaohe military district.

In August 1945, Japan surrendered unconditionally. After paying a huge price of 20000 lives, the Panshan base finally persisted to the end and ushered in the victory of the Anti Japanese war.
