movie "Yu Hundred" is now almost a week in theaters, and the word of mouth of this movie is currently polarized.
(movie poster)
Of course, as the first new movie to be shown in theaters after the epidemic, the reason why this movie is so controversial is that this photo is too controversial:
Sun Yuanliang Who is it?
has been introduced by Uncle History before, this famous "parachutist" , during the Northern Expedition in Nanchang, the War of Resistance against Japan Nanjing Defense Battle , the Liberation War Huaihai Battle, Songhu Battle and Chengdu escape from Taiwan , They have repeatedly escaped.
(Sun Yuanliang)
In addition, he also deducted military payments, reselled anti-Japanese war supplies, and even attempted to insult the representatives of the Shanghai student consolation, fabricating various "guerrilla" slogans to shirk responsibility.
Therefore, why did the director choose such a photo for such a person with bad reputation? This operation is really confusing. The
four-line warehouse battle was essentially just a "show"
eight hundred heroes. In fact, in order to confuse the Japanese army, they lied about eight hundred, but in fact there were only more than four hundred people.
is the final end of the Songhu War and . Whether this battle is fought or not, it cannot change the fact that the Kuomintang army is defeated across the board.
(History of the Four Lines Warehouse)
The reason why this group of soldiers stayed here was not only to delay the attack speed of the Japanese army, but also to the National Government represented by Chiang Kai-shek , hoping to pass the nine-nation convention signing meeting , The international community proved that at this time they were still holding on to resist the fascist invaders, so that they could get help and support from other countries.
Therefore, the harder this battle is, the more it can reflect the resolute attitude of the Chinese people in resisting the Japanese invaders.

What is the final result of this "show"?
From October 27th to 30th, during the four-day battle, many Shanghai residents concentrated on the south bank of Suzhou River despite the heavy rain, cheering for more than 400 soldiers, transporting supplies and food, and attracting many foreign media. s concern.
On October 29, the United Kingdom and the United States sent representatives to the National Government to submit a petition requesting that the battle be stopped on the grounds of "humanitarian" .
However, the fact that this scene did not "touch" Western politicians, they are more concerned about their own interests in China, and more concerned about whether the Japanese cannon fodder will affect their power in the concession.
(Nine Nations Convention Signing Meeting)
After many considerations, Chiang Kai-shek believed that the purpose of sticking to the four-line warehouse was achieved, and finally ordered the troops to withdraw from the warehouse on October 31. The
concession also came forward and repeatedly negotiated with the Japanese army, demanding the Chinese army to retreat, and the Japanese commander Matsui Ishine asked the British side: After this group of soldiers retreat to the British concession, they must all disarm and restrict their freedom of movement, otherwise the Japanese army will continue to pursue. The problem with
is that as far as Xie Jinyuan and all the officers and soldiers of the first battalion of the 542 Regiment of the 88th Division are concerned, this requirement is still kept in the dark.
(the lone soldier who withdrew into the concession)
After brutal fighting, the retreat turned out to be the beginning of humiliation.
In the early morning of November 1, 1937, more than 400 "eight hundred soldiers" withdrew into the public concession in batches, followed by the British Disarmed all the armed forces of this group of troops and sent them all to the west of the concession--- Jiaozhou Road in the Italian defense zone for isolation.

Commander Xie Jinyuan was placed under house arrest. After Wang Jingwei’s puppet regime and the Republic of China Restoration Government sent people to persuade him to surrender. The upper echelons of the regime began to envy and secretly bought the assassins.
on April 24, 1941, 4 soldiers --- two consecutiveShi Hao Dingcheng, four corporal Zhang Wenqing, You Yaoliang, and superior Zhang Guoshun were absent from the exercise. Xie Jinyuan asked them to come for questioning. Four soldiers took the opportunity to assassinate Xie Jinyuan and died.

and after the death of Xie Jinyuan, Shangguan was successively elected as the head of the regiment.
In 1941, the Pacific War broke out and the Japanese army occupied the public concession. This group of soldiers was then sent in batches by the Japanese army to dig trenches and work hard.
50 people were escorted outside Guanghua Gate, 60 people were escorted to Xiaolingwei, 100 people were escorted to Hangzhou, 50 people each were escorted to Yuxikou and Nanyang Islands, and 36 people were from New Guinea.
(three surviving lone soldiers sent to Papua New Guinea)
However, in 1942, the lone army outside Guanghua Gate took advantage of the Japanese army's attention, and most of them fled. Xiaomaoshan hid for a few days, and the Shangguan logo carried a part. People stayed in the local area to join the guerrillas, and the rest detoured Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Hunan, Guizhou , and returned to the accompanying capital Chongqing.
Japan surrendered in 1945, and more than 100 survivors returned to Shanghai from all over the country. The 36
in New Guinea were subsequently sent back to Shanghai by the Australian government. More than 100 soldiers finally returned to Shanghai together and continued to build sheds in the four-line warehouse to guard Xie Jinyuan.
As the civil war broke out, most of this group of soldiers were reluctant to fight again. Some became coachmen, some became policemen, and some did coolies.
(now the site of the Four Lines Warehouse)
As history progresses, this group of soldiers also died.
In 2010, Yang Yang, the last lone soldier of the 800 warriors , died in Chongqing at the age of 96.
Since then, there will be no more eight hundred strong men in the world.
(In 2005, the 91-year-old lone army veteran Yang Yangzheng visited Xie Jinyuan’s grave)
The 800 soldiers in the four-line warehouse were called heroes because they did fought hard against the Japanese invaders in the warehouse and regarded death as home.
And we need to emphasize one point: if
really needs to praise the 800 heroes, please tell their grievances as well. Who made these heroes stay in the four-line warehouse and lost their heroes.
