Sanheba Martyrs Monument

Sanheba Martyrs Monument

Sanheba Martyrs Monument is located in sanheba where Tingjiang River, Meijiang River and Meitan River meet. Sanheba is an important hub of land and water transportation, and has always been a must for military strategists. Under the leadership of Zhu De, the Nanchang Uprising army fought with the Kuomintang Qian Dajun for three days and nights. Many soldiers died in this morning. In 1964, the local government built a 15 meter high monument at the top of bizhiwei mountain on the East Bank of sanheba, and later built a memorial Pavilion on the left side, which has been listed as a key cultural relic protection unit in Guangdong Province.

In September 2019, it was named "national patriotic education demonstration base" by the Propaganda Department of the CPC Central Committee.

Ancient history

Sanheba tourist area is located in Sanhe Town, an ancient town in Dapu. Sanhe Town is the starting point for the confluence of Tingjiang River, Meijiang River and Haitan River into Hanjiang River in Dapu County, so it is called sanheba. since ancient times

Sanheba is an important waterway transportation hub in East Guangdong, which is a must for military strategists. For example, in 1563, the city of Sanhe was built in the 42nd year of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty, and the government stationed troops to defend it. In 1918, Sun Yat Sen visited sanheba to comfort the garrison. On October 1, 1927, the famous "August 1" Nanchang Uprising army sanheba campaign started here.

Geographical location and structure

At the top of Bizhi mountain, the memorial to the martyrs of the "August 1" Nanchang Uprising army sanheba campaign is displayed in front of us. The mountain is high and close to the river. The terrain is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack. The total area of the mountain is 180000 square meters. Occupying Bizhi mountain means controlling the traffic of Hanjiang River. To the north of Ting River, you can reach Changting and Shanghang in Fujian Province; to the south of Jiangxi Province, you can fly along Meitan River; to the east of Meitan River, you can reach Jiufeng in the south of Fujian Province; to the south of Hanjiang River, you can go straight to Chaozhou and Shantou. It used to be called "connecting Guangdong to the West and Beijing to the north". Do you think the location of Bizhi mountain is important? It was on this mountain that the "August 1" uprising army launched the campaign of sanheba. In order to commemorate the great achievements of the revolutionary ancestors and the martyrs who died in this battle, in December 1963, the people's Government of Guangdong Province appropriated funds to build the monument, which is 15 meters high and made of 343 pieces of dense grained granite of 35 specifications. The front of the monument is engraved with an inscription written by Comrade Zhu De: "monument to the martyrs of the three river dam campaign of the August 1 Uprising army.". On the base of the tablet is an inscription written by Zhou Shidi, the commander of the 25th division. Today, the memorial to the martyrs of the sanheba campaign of the "August 1" uprising army has been listed as a key protection unit of the national revolutionary martyrs memorial site and a provincial cultural relic protection unit, and has become a base for patriotism education and revolutionary tradition education in Meizhou city and Dapu county.

Sanheba campaign

I think you would like to hear about the history of the sanheba campaign. Let me briefly talk about the situation of the campaign at that time. On August 1, 1927, after the Nanchang Uprising army successfully occupied the city of Nanchang, they marched to Shanghang, Yongding, Changting in the west of Fujian and Dapu in Guangdong, preparing to occupy Meizhou, Chaozhou, Shantou and Guangzhou. Under the leadership of the former enemy Committee of the Communist Party of China with Zhou Enlai as general secretary, he entered Dapu county (chayang). On the 20th, the troops were divided into two routes: one was led by Comrade Zhou Enlai, he long, Ye Ting, Liu Bocheng and more than 30000 people, going straight down the Tingjiang River and Hanjiang River to Chaozhou and Shantou; the other was led by Zhu De, deputy commander of the Ninth Army, who led the 25th division of the 11th army and the training regiment directly under the Ninth Army, with a total of about 3000 people, guarding sanheba to prevent the enemy from copying our main forces from Minxi and Meizhou to march into Chaoshan. After the uprising army led by Zhu De arrived at sanheba, they immediately put up a "placard for the people" to arouse the masses and set up a strict defense to prepare for the attack of the enemy. On October 1, more than 20000 people from the three divisions of the Qian Dajun Department of the Kuomintang took a boat down the Meijiang River from Songkou, Meixian District, Meizhou City, and stormed on sanheba. Under the command of deputy commander Zhu De, division commander Zhou Shidi of the 25th division, party representative Li shuoxun and other comrades, and with the cooperation of the first Department of Dongjiang workers' and peasants' army, the uprising army fought fiercely with the enemy for three days and nights, repulsed countless enemy attacks and annihilated thousands of them. At 5:00 p.m. on the 3rd, Huang Shaohong's troops, who were reinforcements to Qian Dajun, crossed the Hanjiang River from hemp and occupied the commanding position in the south of the uprising army, while Qian Dajun's troops occupied the north. Under the dangerous situation that the enemy was outnumbered and there was little ammunition to support, the headquarters decided to adopt the method of "second cover and gradual retreat" in order to preserve its strength. It passed by Heyao and Baihou, passed Shuangxi, and entered Maozhi, Raoping on the 5th. After that, the uprising Army fought hard and entered the border of Hunan and Jiangxi. Finally, on April 281928, it arrived in Jinggangshan, Jiangxi Province to hold a victory meeting with the Autumn Harvest Uprising team led by Comrade Mao Zedong Teacher. In the battle of sanheba, the brave men of the Third Battalion of the 75th regiment of the 25th division, who were responsible for covering the retreat of the troops, bravely jumped out of the trench and launched a hand-to-hand battle with the enemy after firing the last bullet and throwing the last grenade. All the officers and men of the battalion died bravely on this Bizhi mountain.
