"Eight Hundred" and "Eight Hundred Warriors"
Guanhu version of "Eight Hundred" focuses on restoring the scene, so that the audience will have a sense of vision that empathizes with the war, realistic, cruel, and cruel; on the other hand, focus Across the concession of the Suzhou River, Chinese and foreign media were watching the fire across the bank at that time. There was a lot of singing and dancing, and drunken gold fans. The contrast between the flesh and blood of the battlefield and the broken walls was particularly absurd.
is the same story. In 1975, Taiwan was directed by Ding Shanxi, starring Ke Junxiong and Brigitte Lin, and launched "Eight Hundred Heroes", played by Ke Junxiong as the head of Xie Jinyuan, and Lin Qingxia played Yang Huimin, a passionate girl who risked her death to send the national flag into the warehouse.
Taiwan's "Eight Hundred Warriors"
Ding Shanxi's version of "Eight Hundred Warriors". The main line is Xie Jinyuan, head of the 524th Regiment of the 88th Division of the National Army, leading the 480 young officers and soldiers known as the "Eight Hundred Warriors" and sticking to the four-row warehouse; On the other line, Girl Scout Yang Huimin wrapped a 12-foot-long "Republic of China flag" on her body, braved artillery fire from the concession, bravely crossed the Suzhou River, and safely delivered the flag to the warehouse. History of
After the story of
-Sixing Warehouse, it is located in the south of Jing'an District, Shanghai, on the north bank of Suzhou River. It was built in 1931 and it was the largest building in Zhabei area that year.
The current "Four Lines Warehouse"
In 1937, the war between China and Japan began. The Japanese army made a quick decision and called out the slogan "China will be destroyed in March." In August the battle of Songhu and the national army fell into a tug of war, and the dream of quick battle was broken. , In October, there was a battle to defend the four-line warehouse. The "eight hundred warriors" held their ground. Although they failed in the end, they inspired the determination of the whole China to resist Japan.
In the history of China’s War of Resistance against Japan, there were two Songhu Battles-the "December 28 Songhu War" in 1932 and the "August 13 Songhu Battle" in 1937, also known as the "Second Songhu War". , The second Songhu Battle, both in scale and severity, were much larger than that in 1932.
In the Songhu War of Resistance in 1932, according to the Chinese war report, more than 10,000 Japanese soldiers were killed and injured. In the Battle of Songhu in 1937, there were more than 10,000 Japanese casualties in just 10 cases. Throughout the battle, the total number of casualties in the Japanese infantry wing even exceeded the number of personnel.
As for the national army supported by German military advisers (Germany, Japan, and Italy did not form the Axis Military Alliance until September 1940), the casualties were more severe, and the number of people over the establishment was very common.
According to historical records, taking the 88th division of the "eight hundred" protagonist Xie Jinyuan "eight hundred warriors" as an example, this unit was the first group to participate in the Battle of Songhu. It fought from August 13 to November 13. Completely. has replenished troops six times, and the number of supplementary troops reached more than 5,200. The supplementary troops sometimes even the entire battalion directly supplemented. At that time, the 1st Battalion of the 524th Regiment was supplemented by the 1st Battalion of the 5th Regiment of Hubei Security.
Xie Jinyuan
can see that the battle of Songhu in 1937 was like a flesh-and-blood mill, and China and Japan continued to consume each other's military resources. At that time, Japan had a complete national supply system and a strong military industry, which kept them motivated.
As for China's weak national strength, the battle of Songhu was fierce, and the Kuomintang military power was almost exhausted. At the time of , the newly trained "German Weapon Master" of the National Army was also exhausted due to the Battle of Songhu, and there was no combat power, especially experienced grassroots commanders and veterans. Lead to inability to hold on.
in the movie "Eight Hundred"The four-line warehouse held by the "Yaobai Warriors" was not the main battlefield of Songhu at the time, nor was it the last stronghold before the retreat of the Battle of Songhu. The significance of this battle was that they resisted the repeated attacks of the Japanese army and protected the 88th National Army. The division retreats westward. The four-row warehouse under the artillery fire of
, and the Suzhou River next to it is the final retreat route.
For most of the national army to retreat, one battalion sticks to the four-row warehouse. The supreme commander Xie Jinyuan issued "Deal to the country, oath The vow of coexistence and death in the four-line warehouse, and when Yang Ruifu knew that she and his subordinates might all die, he said: “The enemy is now, and the man should serve the country with death”, and Yang Huimin sent it to The national flag of the Republic of China in the four-row warehouse was raised on the roof, and so on. The defense battle of
finally invigorated the morale of the Chinese soldiers and civilians that were once frustrated by the battle of Songhu. The various processes in the process have also become the material for anti-Japanese propaganda.
For the Chiang Kai-shek at that time, because the Sixing Warehouse was separated from the Shanghai Public Concession by the Suzhou River, the significance of the Sixing Warehouse war was that the tragic hope of the war shocked the international community, and the scene of Japanese aggression and China’s defense of the country Determined to show it to the world, it will eventually be able to win the sympathy of the international community and give China international support. Of course, this is only Chiang Kai-shek’s personal political calculation, no one buys it for him. The "eight hundred warriors" that
claimed at the time was actually just a strengthening camp. It’s not a regiment, thinking it confuses the Japanese army. In fact, they are only the first battalion of the 88th division 262 brigade 524 regiment. The first battalion initially had nearly 800 people, but after the depletion of the Battle of Songhu, only the officers and soldiers who participated in the four-line warehouse were More than 400 people.
Yang Huimin, a member of the Shanghai Boy Scouts Field Service Corps, brought a list of 800 guards from the Four Lines Warehouse back to the public rent. Therefore, the guards of the Four Lines Warehouse were called "eight hundred soldiers." However, the number of lists is actually forged to scare off the Japanese army. According to
analysis of various sources, the Japanese army attacking the Sixing Warehouse was not a unit sent by the army, but a Marine Corps under the jurisdiction of the Japanese Navy. According to "Zhabei Advance" ( Records of the Japanese Marine Corps) recorded that at 4:30 am on the 27th, the Japanese Marine Corps attacked from Zhabei, occupying the Railway Administration and the Central Mint successively, until the night of the 27th, occupying all the buildings around the Sifang Warehouse, making the warehouse It has become an "isolated island" in military operations.
Japanese shooting materials
28-31. During the day, there was no record of Japanese attacks in the archives of "Zhabei March". It only records that the last surrender notice was issued to the "eight hundred" soldiers, but Ignored. Until 0 am on the 31st (due to time difference, the Japanese recorded time is 1 o'clock), the Japanese bombarded the warehouse, and then attacked the warehouse at 2 am. In just ten minutes, they completely occupied the warehouse and ended the battle completely. The process of
is basically in line with facts. According to the diary of Yang Ruifu, the battalion commander of the 1st battalion of Sixing Warehouse, the Chinese party has personally experienced it. Look at the record. According to Yang's diary, the 27th was the fiercest battle between the two armies. Platoon leader Yin led more than ten soldiers and dropped two mortars and several grenades from the top of the building to the root of the wall downstairs to bomb the Japanese army.
The Japanese Marine Corps fired at
until 0:00 on the 31st, when the "Yai Hundred" soldiers were ordered to retreat to the public concession. During the retreat, Battalion Commander Yang was hit by a Japanese machine gun and seriously injured his left leg and was sent to hospital for treatment. This also fully shows that the concession does not want to be affected by the war, and that Chinese soldiers are required to retreat not to affect the concession.
At that time, the concession pretended that Xie Jinyuan could withdraw through the concession to Huxi to join the main force round, but they did not expect that they not only disarmed the 800 strong men, but they were also placed under house arrest in the concession (the concession did this because of the Japanese army). Threat, if you let them leave, you will invade the concession). Until the Pearl Harbor Incident broke out in December 1941, the Japanese entered the concession, and they became Japanese prisoners of war. So far this history has basically come to an end. You can see
. There is also a flag on it.
. Conclusion:
. Back to the movie, "Yaibai" in the movie, the blue sky, white sun and the ground are red, and the flag-protecting bridge are all preserved, but no close-up is given, which is a more artistic treatment. . The whole film of was developed from the perspective of ordinary soldiers of the national army. It did not sing praises to the high-level Kuomintang. On the contrary, it also exposed the national government’s trust in the assistance of the international community.The ugly face makes people feel sorry for the "eight hundred" soldiers.
Many viewers posted their thoughts on Weibo and Moments, saying that they were greatly shocked, felt the simple family and country feelings, felt the awakening and growth of national consciousness, even had Shanghai viewers after watching the movie, just When returning to the prosperous Shanghai during the fight of the "Four Lines Warehouse", I couldn't help feeling like a world away.
The four-row warehouse looks like this. This west wall is the most intense and damaged part of the defense battle. After repairing and restoring the remains of the shell hole
at that time, the "eight hundred warriors" of the "eight hundred warriors" are still full of inspiration and inspiration today. What did the eight hundred heroes defend? It is worth pondering.
