Blood-Stained Beishahe

In the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, the Japanese invaders drove aggressively along the Jinpu Line to break into Tianjin, go to Quancheng, occupy Tai'an, and seize Yanzhou and Zouxian County. He also threatened to capture Teng County on March 16, 1938, then flatten Zaozhuang and Taierzhuang, and march directly to Xuzhou. However, in the Tengxian area, especially in the Beishahe area, they encountered stubborn resistance from the anti-Japanese soldiers and civilians. The enraged Japanese invaders bloodbathed Beishahe Village and created a tragic "March 15" tragedy. Under the leadership of anti-Japanese backbones such as Qingshan, Lao Xiangshu, and Caifeng, the villagers of Beishahe actively supported the 7th Sichuan Army Railway Regiment in repairing fortifications, digging trenches, breaking roads, and blowing up bridges. When the Iron 7th Regiment withdrew from Beishahe and returned to defend the city, they and the villagers prepared for the worst... On March 15, when the inhumane Japanese invaders "bloodbathed Beishahe", warriors such as Wang Shuai of the Anti-Japanese Self-Defense Force, Qingshan, Caifeng and other anti-Japanese backbones of the Beishahe villagers were not timid in the face of death. They fought the invaders with their last breath and shed the last drop of blood, inspiring all the villagers. With their flesh and blood, they bought valuable time for the defense of Tengxian County and made positive contributions to the victory of Taierzhuang. Fellow victims of Beishahe Village! Like the martyrs who defended the city in Teng County, you are also heroes worthy of being remembered forever by future generations!
