Last year, there was a movie that was particularly popular and created a viewing miracle in recent years, it was "Eight Hundred" depicting the War of Resistance Against Japan, and the prototype of this movie was the guard sihang warehouse in the late stage of the Battle of Songhu, and the leader of the regiment was the famous anti-Japanese hero Xie Jinyuan. So what kind of life did Xie Jinyuan live after his death?
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > anti-Japanese hero Xie Jinyuan</h1>
Xie Jinyuan was born in Meizhou, Guangdong Province in 1905. Xie Jinyuan has more brothers and sisters, and he needs to support himself from a young age. But Xie Jinyuan was particularly fond of learning from an early age, and was later sent to Yumin School by his father to study, accepting advanced ideas and wanting to pursue freedom and equality.
Guangdong is a holy land of revolution. Thanks to the influence of Dr. Sun Yat-sen, the revolutionary situation in Guangdong Province has developed very well, and the ideological consciousness of the people of Guangdong is also relatively high. Under the influence of the Three People's Principles, Xie Jinyuan also hoped that he could be as loyal as Yue Fei to serve the country and realize national independence and the prosperity and strength of the country.
Xie Jinyuan performed particularly well during his school years, ranking among the best in all subjects, and was admitted to Guangdong University with excellent results. Dr. Sun Yat-sen led the bourgeois revolutionaries to hold a series of activities, but all of them ended in failure, and later under the influence of the October Revolution in Russia, they realized the strength of the proletariat.
Later, under the mediation of the Communist International, and our Party also realized that it could not accomplish the revolutionary tasks on its own, so in 1924, the Kuomintang National Congress was held in Guangzhou, marking the formal establishment of the Kuomintang-Communist cooperation, and decided to establish the Whampoa Military Academy to provide a steady stream of talents for the National Revolutionary Army.
In order to achieve his political goals and hope to join the army to show his talents, Xie Jinyuan dropped out of Guangdong University and became a student of the fourth phase of the Whampoa Military Academy. Later, when the Northern Expedition broke out, Xie Jinyuan was assigned to the First Division of the National Revolutionary Army and followed the troops to participate in the war against Sun Chuanfang.
In 1927, Chiang Kai-shek launched the April 12 counter-revolutionary coup, killing a large number of Communists, and the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party began to rupture. Later, in order to establish his leadership position in the whole country, Lao Jiang began the Second Northern Expedition. At this time, the Japanese invaders tried to expand the scope of aggression in China, often obstructing the Northern Expedition of the National Revolutionary Army.
When Xie Jinyuan's troops passed through Jinan, they were attacked by the Japanese invaders. Xie Jinyuan stubbornly resisted the Japanese invaders, but due to insufficient preparation and poor weapons, he was seriously injured. After that, Xie Jinyuan was forced to leave the front line and go to the hospital for treatment. After his injuries eased, Xie Jinyuan became a member of the 19th Route Army.

Beginning in 1931, the Japanese invaders created the September 18 Incident, which shocked China and foreign countries, marking the beginning of the Eastern Battlefield. Because Chiang Kai-shek implemented a policy of non-resistance and withdrew the troops stationed in the northeast from the northeast, which encouraged the arrogance of the Japanese invaders, the northeast soon became a Japanese colony.
The reason why Chiang Kai-shek adopted the policy of non-resistance was, on the one hand, to strangle the Red Army in its cradle. On the other hand, because China is a member of the League of Nations, Chiang Hopes to use foreign forces to solve the problem of Japanese aggression. After Chiang Kai-shek reported to the League of Nations, the League did send a procuratorial delegation to China, and also saw the heinous crimes of the Japanese aggressors.
But by this time, Japan's power had been taken over by the fascists, and it was bent on expanding abroad, hoping to obtain abundant resources from foreign countries to alleviate the domestic economic crisis. In order to escape responsibility, Japan announced its withdrawal from the League of Nations, and the league's supervisory power was useless. After that, Japan stepped up the pace of aggression against China, successively creating the Chang'an Incident and the North China Incident.
In 1937, the Japanese aggressors created the Lugou Bridge Incident in Beiping and began a large-scale invasion of China, and the all-out War of Resistance Against Japan broke out, and the national crisis was unprecedentedly serious. With the active efforts of our Party and along with the peaceful settlement of the Xi'an Incident, the Anti-Japanese National United Front was initially established.
Considering that its own resources were relatively scarce, Japan adopted a strategy of rapidly destroying China, decided to land from Shanghai to conquer Nanjing, and then forced chiang's Nanjing Nationalist government to surrender. Lao Jiang ordered all his troops to actively prepare for battle, and launched the Battle of Songhu, vowing to defend Shanghai to the death.
The Japanese aggressors mobilized all their manpower, material and financial resources, dispatched the most elite troops, and the tank troops were at the forefront of the ranks, crushing the National Revolutionary Army in strength. The National Revolutionary Army suffered heavy losses, and according to the recollection of one veteran, companies of several thousand men could not resist for two hours.
However, the Chinese soldiers were not afraid of sacrifice, and used their full enthusiasm to resist the strong ships and cannons of the Japanese invaders, and the entire Battle of Songhu lasted for more than three months. Later, in order to preserve his strength, Lao Jiang decided to evacuate Shanghai. At this time, Lao Jiang still had a glimmer of hope, that is, he hoped to gain the support of international public opinion.
For this reason, Chiang Kai-shek did not let all his troops withdraw. Instead, xie Jinyuan's 523 regiment remained in Shanghai to continue to resist. Finally, Xie Jinyuan led more than 400 of his men into the Sihang warehouse and continued to stubbornly resist the Japanese invaders. However, due to the relatively large disparity in strength and the postponement of the meeting held in Belgium, old Jiang asked Xie Jinyuan to lead his troops to withdraw.

After Xie Jinyuan withdrew to the other side, all the arms were dismantled, and he himself was also monitored by other countries, completely losing his freedom. Wang Jingwei's government wanted to woo Xie Jinyuan in the hope that he could do things for the Japanese military. But Xie Jinyuan refused Wang Jingwei's request and was framed to death in 1941.
After the Battle of Songhu, Xie Jinyuan felt that his situation was very difficult, so he sent his wife and children back to his hometown, and promised them to go back to pick them up when the war was over. Ling Weicheng, who lives in his hometown, raises four children alone.
After the founding of New China in 1949, Xie Jinyuan's wife returned to Shanghai with her children. Xie Jinyuan's former subordinates, knowing that his wife had returned, went to see him at home. Xie Jinyuan's wife looked at the miserable comrades-in-arms and felt that their lives should not be so ordinary, so she wrote a letter to Chen Yi, who was the mayor of Shanghai at the time. Hopefully, he can find a job for these comrades-in-arms.

The war was very cruel, and the fate of many people was changed because the war had changed. In addition to remembering the anti-Japanese salient arrival, we should also remember those soldiers who quietly dedicated themselves on the battlefield. They are also national heroes, and they should also be respected Chinese.
