Features: Dongning was once a base for the Japanese invasion forces to build fortifications and military strongholds. It was also known as the "Largest Military Fortress in Asia" and hailed as the "Eastern Maginot Line." This book records the invasion of China by Japanese imperialism half a century ago, leaving behind、 and traces of post-war devastation in Dongning. It is a history that cannot be forgotten. The largest military fortress in Asia—the Dongning Fortress Complex—was built over more than a decade by 170,000 forced laborers from China's Heilongjiang and other regions during World War II. Known as the "Eastern Maginot Line," its purpose was to control Northeast China and counter and attack the Soviet Union. As an unveiling of the post-World War II battlefield in Dongning, this fortified area testifies with undeniable evidence to the atrocities committed by the Japanese forces in ruthlessly exploiting China's resources and brutally slaughtering its people.
