The Dongning military stronghold with the maximum labors

After the occupation in Northeast China, Japanese army had forced over 2 million Chinese labors to build lots of military strongholds along the Sino-Russia frontier in Heilongjiang, aiming at consolidating the reign position in Northeast China and waiting its chance to aggress Soviet Union. Among the strongholds there, the Dongning military stronghold is the largest one in Asia. At least 170,000 Chinese labors were enslaved there at that time. Because of the foul working condition and the living condition, plus the cruel persecution of the Japanese soldiers, thousands of labors died. Many “labors graves” and “Ten Thousand Graves” were found in the area of the Dongning stronghold
