0386 Mysterious Lambgar Military Base
Fan Jianguo saw that Wang Liang couldn't put down this August 13 diary, so he couldn't help but cut his love and said: "Uncle, if you like it, take it back." β
Coming through ups and downs all the way, Fan Jianguo can understand Wang Liang's mood at this time.
That diary is so real.
What was recorded was the Shanghai Stock Exchange in 1937.
It's too heavy for someone from that era.
Therefore, no matter how valuable this diary is, and how high the price he paid to buy it, Fan Jianguo decided to give it to this uncle who has always supported him.
With this diary, perhaps, Wang Liang can go back to that year more easily.
"There is no need for this, such a treasure should be placed in the exhibition hall for all Chinese people to come and see." You kid can go back and send me a photocopy of it. Wang Liang waved his hand, he naturally wouldn't accept it.
Fan Jianguo nodded, and didn't let it anymore, he understood Wang Liang, and spit a nail, "Okay, no problem." β
Continuing to move forward, Fan Jianguo proudly introduced it again.
"Uncle, the front is a unit that was just arranged last month, recording Lambga."
After Fan Jianguo said this, the live broadcast room exploded.
For a while, military fans, especially those who like to study the history of the National Revolutionary Army, went crazy
Comment section.
"Wow! Lambgar has ?!!! β
"I'll go, there is such a place in China? How did I not know? β
"In order to collect information about Lambga, I made a special trip to India, but I was stopped by Ah San of the dog day."
"Fellow Daoist upstairs, I've been there too! It is said that it is still a military base. However, visits to the cemeteries of the Chinese garrison in India are permitted. The cemetery is located on the outskirts of the small town of Ramga, with a walled courtyard about the size of two football fields. This is the cemetery of the Chinese Expeditionary Force. β
"The iron gate of the courtyard is locked, and the signboard of the gate reads: 'The Republic of China Garrison in India Cemetery, He Yingqin inscribed the Anti-Japanese Expedition, drank Dan's heart, sacrificed his life, foreign justice, Teng Yingling's soul, and comforted the soul of a thousand autumns, saved the country and self-defense, spilled blood and buried bones, and the heroic spirit of the other country was loyal and the soul was safe and Wanshiqin.' The courtyard is solemn and well protected. β
"In the center is the monument, on which is Chang Kaishen's inscription 'Yingling Heyi', there are two hundred and fifty-three cemeteries on both sides, a small number of which have tombstones, recording the names of the deceased, their places of origin and the number of the troops, and behind them is the mourning hall, as well as wells and guards' rooms."
"The units of the martyrs recorded on the tombstones are: the Independent Battlefield Battalion of the Indian Army, the Fifth Artillery Regiment, the Third Artillery Regiment, the Fourth Artillery Regiment, the Adjutant General's Office of the General Headquarters of the Indian Army, the 12th Heavy Artillery Regiment, the 30th Division, the Headquarters of the New First Army, the 38th Division and the Foreign Affairs Bureau of the Military Commission, etc., there are many graves without epitaphs, the cause of death is not recorded, and most of the time of death is between 1943 and 1945."
"Is there any more detailed information upstairs? Kneel and beg!! β
"Lambgaβdoes the old chief understand?"
"I can't wait to see what the Lambga unit in the exhibition hall has, and I'm going to take a vacation at the end of the month."
"Irikawa."
Wang Liang didn't expect that a Lambgar unit would blow up so many fanatical military enthusiasts.
In fact, there is nothing to be surprised about, China has a population of more than one billion, and it is normal for a few people who are particularly fond of the history of the Anti-Japanese War of the National Army.
What exactly is Lambgar?
Lambgar, located in the northeast of Ranchi, Canakent, India, has geographical coordinates of 23Β°36'36.03" north latitude and 85Β°29'16.79 east longitude".
It is located in the valley of the Damodr River between the Ranchi Plateau and the Hzaribak Plateau on the Djodanagpur Plateau.
There are railways and highways passing through nearby, and the transportation is convenient.
Why does Wang Liang remember these things so clearly?
It all started in 1942.
In 1942, a Chinese army fled to India in Burma.
Later, he fought at an unknown secret military base called Ramgar.
Then, in 1944, he set out from Ledo, another unknown border town in the northeast corner of Du, to fight the Japanese army again.
As a result, people were surprised to find that this unit, which had been defeated by the Japanese in Burma, had become a steel army that made the Japanese fearful.
At that time, Wang Liang was in this army.
As for why military fans seem so excited when they hear about the Lambga unit, there is also a reason.
Even today, Chinese and foreign sources are still secretive about Lambga.
Not to mention the library, even the informative English website barely says anything about it.
The vast majority of people don't even know the exact location of Lambga in India.
In India, there are simply too many places called Ramgarh.
How much.
It's about the same number as the Chinese name Zhang Wei.
In the Hindi language of India, ram in lambga means dwelling and garh means god.
Ancient India believed in gods, so there are many places called Ramgara in India.
There is a more important reason, Lambgar was a secret military training base at that time.
After the war, especially after India's declaration of independence, the Indian army took over all the military installations here and remained a military stronghold of secrecy.
Ramgarh, near Ranchi, was under the absolute control of the Indian army and was forbidden to anyone to visit.
No travel agency refuses to take tourists to Ramgarh, even Indian tourists.
So, Lambgar is a mysterious place and a place where countless people want to find out.
It is precisely because of the mystery of Lambga that it has aroused the research interest of countless military fans and historians.
In addition to field exploration, the most effective way is to conduct interviews with Chinese soldiers who participated in the training in Ramgar.
It is precisely in this way, after the veteran's narration, repeated comparisons and speculations, that the exact location of Lambgar was locked.
Wang Liang said: "The Ramgar Training Center was formally established on August 26, 1942. General Stilwell is the commander, General Luo Zhuoying is the deputy commander, and General Hayden L. Boatner is the chief of staff. β
"The training center is divided into infantry, artillery, armor, automobile, communications, engineer, and field hospital schools, and is conducted strictly according to the curriculum by American instructors equipped with Chinese student soldier interpreters."
"All the work of the Ramgar Training Center has one goal: to create a modern combat force that can compete with the Japanese army head-to-face and ultimately win. In the arduous battles of the Hukang Valley and Mon Gong Valley in northern Burma, and finally the astonishing Battle of Myitkyina, the Chinese division trained by Ramgar became a fist of steel, forcing the enemy to retreat from the jungle position. β
"So, in a sense, Lambgar is a cradle for China to move from an old-style army to a modernized new-style army."
