这是一条地图上永不消失的红线。1938年，滇缅公路贯通于云南崇山峻岭之中。这条诞生于抗战烽火中的国际通道东起昆明，西行经龙陵、畹町出境， 直通缅甸腊戍，全长1146.1公里。20万云南各族民众在几乎没有任何机械的情况下，凭人力耗时9个月凿通这条"抗战输血管"。3200余名南洋华侨机工毅然 归国，日夜驰骋在这条生命线上，担当运送抗战物资的重任。 畹町桥横跨中缅界河，是滇缅公路中国段的终点。1938年我国沿海沦陷后，滇缅公路成为国际援华物资唯一陆路通道，这座不过百米的桥成了"抗战生 命线"的咽喉。 滇缅公路路线图（1938年7月） 车队行驶在滇缅公路上（资料图片） 畹町桥头如今陈列着一个当年筑路用的石磙，刻有诗句："万众筑血路，机工谱丹心。远征壮歌行，铸就抗日功。"道出修筑滇缅公路之艰辛、南侨机工 爱国之举与远征军之悲壮。 因打破了日军"三个月灭亡中国"的狂妄迷梦，滇缅公路被日军视为眼中钉，遭受频繁轰炸、破坏与间谍活动。对此，中方制定了《滇缅公路警备计 划》，严密布防，沿线军民即炸即修，誓死护路。 眼见武力封锁收效甚微，1940年，日本借外交⼿段施压，迫使英国签署《封闭滇缅路协定》，导致滇缅公路禁运三个月。然而， ...
