history

More than 70 years ago, Gubeikou battle of the Great Wall started the first shot of the Anti Japanese war in Beijing. It is the largest and most tragic battle of the Great Wall. In January 1933, the Japanese army invaded Shanhaiguan, occupied Chengde and threatened Beijing in March. The Chinese Army (the 25th division of the 17th army of the Kuomintang) launched a large-scale counterattack for the first time. This campaign lasted for more than four months, killing and injuring more than 5000 enemies, and also killing and injuring 89000 ourselves. In the end, it was defeated because of the great disparity between the enemy and us. Up to now, the remnants of weapons used by the enemy and us at that time can be found here, which shows the intensity of the war at that time. After the end of the campaign, the local people could not bear the corpses of the Anti Japanese soldiers. They spontaneously organized to carry the corpses to the South Gate of Gubeikou for burial. A layer of corpses, a layer of reed mat, buried more than 360, forming a diameter of 18 meters, 10 meters high grave, commonly known as "meat mound grave.". In 1934, the Beiping branch of the Revolutionary Military Commission of the national government set up the "Tomb of the martyrs who died in the Gubeikou defense war" to commemorate the martyrs who died in the Anti Japanese war. In 1997, He Luli, then chairman of the Central Committee of the national revolution, inscribed the name of the monument to the battle of Gubeikou: "a good man, fighting for the sun and the moon, loyal to the soul, magnificent mountains and rivers."
