In April 1941, the commander of the 524th Regiment of the 88th Division of the National Revolutionary Army, as usual, led the soldiers to get up early for drills. The 3 corporals arrived belatedly, hid their hands in their clothes and rushed towards the regimental commander. Immediately, several people took out knives and stabbed the regiment commander in the chest, stabbing the regiment commander to death.
The deeds of "800 Heroes" are famous in history, and they are still inspiring our future generations to forge ahead without forgetting the national shame. On October 25, 1937, the 1st Battalion of the 524th Regiment of the 262nd Brigade of the 88th Division of the National Revolutionary Army received an order from Shangfeng to garrison the Sixing Warehouse on the north bank of Suzhou Creek.
In the face of the swarming Japanese invaders, under the leadership of Commander Xie Jinyuan, the 1st Battalion of the 524th Regiment (the actual strength was only 410 people) fought bloodily for 4 days and 4 nights, resolutely defending the position. On the evening of October 30, Shangfeng issued an order to retreat, and the 1st Battalion of the 524th Regiment was ordered to retreat into the concession. Unexpectedly, the Westerners betrayed their promises and secretly colluded with the Japanese to force the soldiers of the 1st Battalion to surrender their guns and put the soldiers under house arrest in a lonely army camp.
In the following four years, the Japanese invaders sent spies to break into the lone army camp several times in a vain attempt to assassinate the lone soldiers, but they were unsuccessful. Seeing that "it is hard not to succeed", the Japanese invaders sent Wang Pseudo-traitors to the door to persuade Commander Xie to surrender in the name of visiting, but Captain Xie sternly refused.
The Japanese invaders used both soft and hard, and the lone soldiers maintained their unyielding loyalty and resolutely refused to give in to the enemy. The Japanese invaders were so angry that they resorted to intrigue and trickery in a vain attempt to divide the lone army from within. Immediately, the puppet spies found Corporal Hao Dingcheng of the 2nd Company of the 1st Battalion of the 524th Regiment, Corporal Zhang Wenqing, Corporal You Yaoliang, and Private Zhang Guoshun of the 4th Company, and promised the 4 people a good fortune, glory and wealth.
The four people who are not as good as the beasts are willing to be the eagle dog minions of the Japanese cole for their own selfish interests, and they have become shameful traitor lackeys. In the early morning of April 24, 1941, Regiment Commander Xie led the soldiers to get up early to practice as usual. At 5 o'clock, the sky was just bright, Hao Dingcheng, Long Yaoliang, Zhang Wenqing, and Zhang Guoshun were late, and they hid their hands in their clothes.
Commander Xie was strict in military discipline, and he stepped forward and asked, "Are you sick?"Why is it late today?Hao Dingcheng, Long Yaoliang, Zhang Wenqing, and Zhang Guoshun did not answer, took out a dagger from their arms, and rushed to Head Xie.
4 ** armed with sharp blades, stabbed and smashed at the chest and temples of the head of the regiment, and killed the head of the regiment Xie with a knife. The deputy head of Shangguan rushed forward to stop the villain**, who was also stabbed and seriously injured. The lone soldiers were indignant, controlled the 4 **, and prepared to be killed on the spot.
The concession authorities sent people to ask for the four ** to be taken away, and the interrogation began. On June 27, 1941, after a public trial, the special court sentenced Corporal Hao Dingcheng, Corporal Zhang Wenqing, Corporal You Yaoliang, and Private Zhang Guoshun to death, and immediately executed.
