After Japan launched an all-out war of aggression against China, the Chinese people stubbornly resisted, and when they were outnumbered, the most tragic Battle of Songhu began. At that time, the Nationalist army stubbornly resisted the Japanese invaders and completely smashed the arrogant remarks of the Japanese army that "China will be destroyed in three months".
However, in this war, the number of casualties of the Nationalist army was also very painful. Annihilating tens of thousands of Japanese invaders dealt a heavy blow to the arrogance of the Japanese army.
What is unexpected is that when the Nationalist army planned to implement the strategy of retreating and delaying the troops, the whole of Shanghai was occupied by the Japanese army, and the streets and alleys were all planted with Japanese flags by the Japanese army, except for a very eye-catching Chinese flag on the roof of the Sihang warehouse, which was also the last remaining Chinese flag in Shanghai at that time.
Chiang Kai-shek ordered soldiers to be left to block the Japanese army, and the anti-Japanese heroes fought bloodily and stubbornly resisted
When the Nationalist army was preparing to implement the strategy of delaying the troops to withdraw from the battlefield, Chiang Kai-shek ordered some soldiers to stay behind to block the Japanese army and cover for the withdrawal of large troops. For this task, everyone knows very well that the hope of staying alive is very slim, and Sun Yuanliang, who received the task, also thinks that this is a dead end, and he is not willing to accept this task.
After several discussions, The division commander Sun Yuanliang found Xie Jinyuanhou and said to him: "You are a lone army, without support, you may be martyred." Xie Jinyuan firmly replied with two words "know", so Sun Yuanliang entrusted Xie Jinyuan with the task of sticking to the Sihang warehouse.
Xie Jinyuan led 423 people from the first battalion of the 524th Regiment to accept this difficult task, he understood that if the Japanese army was not annihilated early, there would be more innocent victims in the future, Xie Jinyuan was ready to sacrifice, he told his soldiers: "Do you know what is here?" ”
The soldiers responded in unison: "It is our headquarters", and Xie Jinyuan said emphatically: "This is our grave." ”
After entering the Sihang warehouse, Xie Jinyuan issued an order to seal all the passages, doors and windows on the ground floor with all the materials in the warehouse, and even the second floor where they were located only half of the doors and windows were left for shooting.
The guns and ammunition left behind by the large troops when they retreated were very limited, and in order to save resources, Xie Jinyuan made a reasonable distribution of these weapons and equipment to enhance the lethality. Dozens of fighters with the most ammunition were formed into a death squad, and Xie Jinyuan hoped that at the last critical moment, the death squad would be able to give the invaders a fatal blow.
After preparing for battle, Xie Jinyuan also gathered all the soldiers to write a suicide note, hoping that these more than 400 heroes would be remembered by the world.
After the first battle was completely fought, Xie Jinyuan commanded the soldiers to repel many crazy attacks of the Japanese army, and the bright red national flag fluttered above the Sihang warehouse, which was the only Chinese flag in the whole of Shanghai Beach, and with it there was a spirit. The lonely army camp was on an isolated island, and the situation was even more sinister, but Xie Jinyuan's strong heart was still there.
The frenzied attack of the Japanese army attracted the attention of foreigners in the Shanghai Concession at that time, who were afraid that the Japanese shells would accidentally damage the concession, so they began to exert constant pressure on the Nationalist government, and were forced to give the Nationalist government orders to retreat, while Xie Jinyuan and the soldiers left the Sihang warehouse and entered the British Concession.
However, the foreigners in the British Concession began to turn their faces and deny anyone, not only immediately disarming Xie Jinyuan and the soldiers, but also restricting their area of activity, which was equivalent to house arrest. During his period under house arrest and surveillance, Xie Jinyuan did not yield and insisted on leading officers and men to raise the flag, exercise exercises, and conduct military training.
The anti-Japanese hero did not die in the battlefield, but died at the hands of traitors
After Wang Jingwei established the Wang puppet government, he repeatedly sent people to soften the hard bubbles against Xie Jinyuan, and even threatened to induce him, and at first tried to use the high-ranking official Houlu to lure Xie Jinyuan, but Xie Jinyuan resolutely refused, and the Japanese army also regarded Xie Jinyuan as a thorn in the flesh in the eye, and since it did not know how to lift, the Japanese army decided to carry out an assassination operation.
Annoyed and angry, the Japanese army began to arrange and plan an assassination operation, they spent a lot of money at all costs to buy Xie Jinyuan's four subordinates, one day, these four people deliberately did not go out of the morning exercise, when Xie Jinyuan walked in to ask the reason, the four people in disguise suddenly attacked, stabbed into serious injuries, Xie Jinyuan was martyred due to excessive blood loss.
The news that Xie Jinyuan was assassinated by four traitors under his command did not go away, and the entire people of Shanghai went to mourn, Xie Jinyuan did not sacrifice on the battlefield, but died at the hands of traitors, which made people feel not only sad but also regretful.
The four traitors eventually got their due retribution, and after being beaten up by xie Jinyuan's other fighters, handed over to the Nationalist government, and finally sentenced to death and duly punished.
Xie Jinyuan left his life on the land of Shanghai. Today, the tomb of General Xie Jinyuan stands quietly in the Soong Ching Ling Cemetery in Shanghai, and the green pine and cypress have long guarded the soul of the hero.
