Today, fanta will come to talk about those things about four-line warehouse .

Four-line warehouse is a warehouse building located in the south-central part of Jing'an District, Shanghai, on the north bank of Suzhou River , and at the northwest corner of Tibet Road and Bridge. The number is No. 1 Guangfu Road. It is a six-story building with a reinforced concrete structure, covering an area of ​​0.3 hectares. , The building area is 20,000 square meters, the house is 64 meters wide, 54 meters deep and 25 meters high. The

warehouse was founded in 1931 and was the tallest and largest building in Zhabei at that time. It was originally a joint warehouse of the Mainland Bank and the North Fourth Bank (Golden City Bank, Central South Bank, Mainland Bank and Salt Bank), that is, the Mainland Bank warehouse close to Tibet North Road and the North Fourth Bank warehouse on Jinyuan Road. They are generally collectively referred to as the "Four Lines Warehouse".

On August 13, 1937, the Battle of Songhu broke out. The hundreds of thousands of Chinese and Japanese armies fought hard for more than two months. By the end of October, the national army of and had withdrawn from Shanghai. From October 26 to 30, more than 400 officers and soldiers of the first battalion of the 254th regiment of the 88th Division of the National Army covered the retreat. Later, in order to keep the last position in Zhabei, he was ordered to enter the Four Lines Warehouse and fought bloody battles with the Japanese for 4 days and 4 nights. He repelled the enemy’s many attacks. It shocked the enemy and was acclaimed at home and abroad. He was hailed as the " eight hundred warriors " ".

The four-row warehouse is a concrete building with great thickness and is the tallest building in the area. Japanese tanks could not penetrate its concrete walls. Since it was previously used as the division of the 88th Division, a large amount of food, ambulance supplies and ammunition were stored in the warehouse. On the other side of the river is the British concession, so the Japanese army dared not use heavy artillery and heavy bombs to bomb Sihang warehouse.

In the early morning of October 27th, after the officers and soldiers gathered in the four-row warehouse, the second platoon of the 3rd company led two squads to guard the dry bridge. The first company occupied the right-wing position, the third platoon occupied the left-wing position, and the second company defended the center and was responsible for the four rows. Warehouse and peripheral defense. Soldiers in the warehouse used materials and sandbags to block the front and rear doors and the windows on the first floor, leaving only a gap in the south. Half of the windows above the second floor are blocked, and the other half is used for bombing and shooting.

At 5 a.m., the Japanese Marine Corps commander in Shanghai, Okawachi Chuanqi, issued a general offensive order. He rushed all the way and occupied the North Station at 8 a.m., only 1,500 meters away from the Sixing Warehouse. The second group of the Japanese Shanghai Special Marine Corps was in the U.S. Under the command of Captain Sano Shaozuo, he continued to advance towards Suzhou Creek and attacked the Hanqiao all the way. Suddenly, he was blocked by the second platoon of the 3rd company who refused to defend it. Six Japanese soldiers fell to the ground by bullets. After Sano Shaosuo ordered to retreat and contacted the 6th Brigade of the Friendly Army, he prepared to "encircle and suppress" the Chinese defenders from two directions. The battle of the dry bridge made the Japanese guard vigilant, and they did not arrive at the Sixing warehouse until around 1 pm. The Japanese army initially judged that the Chinese army was only one company and began to underestimate the enemy's aggressive advance. At this time, the third platoon of the third company was in ambush on the way the Japanese were advancing. When the Japanese approached, a dozen grenades were thrown out instantly. The Japanese team was caught off guard and was immediately disoriented by the explosion. Then the machine gun rifle rang and the bullets shot at the enemy. The Japanese army could not stand it and had to retreat.

At 6 o'clock in the afternoon that day, the Japanese 2nd and 6th Battalions once again attacked the four-row warehouse and dropped two armored vehicles. The 3rd company of the defending army was forced to withdraw into the warehouse to continue the resistance. More than a dozen soldiers on the roof of the warehouse threw grenades at the Japanese army outside the gate below, and finally succeeded in repelling the Japanese army. After a whole day of offensive on the 27th, the Japanese army did not achieve any substantial results, so they decided to attack at night.

OctoberAt 3 o'clock in the morning on the 28th, a small group of Japanese troops quietly approached the northwest corner of the warehouse along the root of the wall, and then climbed along the water pipe and the corner protrusion to the second floor. The Japanese army was quickly spotted by the 2 companies and 3 rows of soldiers on duty that day and started fighting on the spot. , Under the brave and tenacious counterattack of the defenders, the Japanese army could not succeed in the sneak attack, and could only go home. The sneak attack failed, and the Japanese wanted to use blasting to blow up the warehouse walls. The Japanese blasters desperately rushed to the corner. The Chinese defenders also sent a death squad to stop them. At the very moment, a soldier named Chen Shusheng tied several grenades on his body and pulled them away. After the fuse jumped directly from the fifth floor and jumped into the Japanese blasting point. With a loud noise, Chen Shusheng died heroically, and the Japanese blasting plan was also defeated.

At 3 p.m., the unwilling Japanese army pushed five flat-fire guns outside the warehouse and tried to blast the walls with artillery. The organ upstairs of the defending army opened fire, and the machine gun was on the high ground, and two long tongues of flame spewed out of the muzzle. , Japanese artillery was passive everywhere, scattered and avoided, and could no longer use flat-fire guns to shoot. After nearly two days of fierce fighting, the reputation of the Four Elements Solitary Army has reverberated throughout Shanghai. People know that China is still resisting, and they firmly believe that "China will not die."

The four-line lone army held a flag-raising ceremony after reporters and patriotic youths risked their lives to send the national flag to strengthen the country. The soldiers stood at attention. Accompanied by the melody of the "Flag Song", the flag slowly rose on a long flagpole Start, formal and grand. At this time, the fish belly was white in the east, and the dawn was faint, and everyone solemnly raised their hands in salute. The sacred and solemn atmosphere, the simple and tragic scenes, are touching.

When the journalist who entered the warehouse risking his death to interview asked about the number of people who stood by the warehouse, the heroic soldier Lei Xiong claimed that there were 800 defenders in accordance with the meaning of the chief Xie Jinyuan. This news was published in major newspapers under the name "eight hundred heroes." Resounded all over the country.

On the afternoon of October 29th, the Japanese troops besieging Sixing Warehouse launched another storm. The defenders relied on the fortifications to resist stubbornly. The two sides fought fiercely for an hour, but the Japanese still couldn't get past the thunder pool.

Xie Jinyuan

All day on the 30th, the Japanese army organized two offensives without any progress. At 12 o'clock in the evening, Xie Jinyuan, who was sticking to the warehouse, received an order from the deputy commander Feng Shengfa to exit the Sixing warehouse through the British concession at 12 o'clock this evening. Since the early morning of the 31st, the lone army retreated to the British concession according to this plan one by one. The Japanese army broke into the four-row warehouse at 3 o'clock in the morning, but at this time the lone army had all evacuated, and the Japanese army only got an empty warehouse.

China will not die after

the four lone troops withdrew into the British concession, they were disarmed by the British army, and then detained in the Italian barracks on Yuyao Road. In the early morning of April 24, 1941, Xie Jinyuan was assassinated by a traitor who was bought by the enemy during his usual exercise. The bad news spread and the whole country mourned. After the outbreak of the Pacific War, the Japanese army invaded the British concession. The soldiers in the solitary barracks were captured by the enemy, and then sent to various places to work as coolies, the furthest reaching New Guinea in the Pacific. However, the resistance of the lone army has not stopped. Many people risked their lives to flee, and after returning home after several rounds, they took up arms and rushed to the anti-Japanese battlefield.

Their deeds have been written into a song---China will not die, spread all over the streets:

China will not die, China will not perish,

, look at those 800 warriors who stand alone on the eastern battlefield.
