Xifengkou, as it was called in ancient times, is located in the northwest of Guizhou, with towering peaks, which has been a battleground for military strategists in past dynasties.
At the beginning of 1933, the Japanese invaded Jehol, advanced to Peiping and Tianjin, and the Great Wall broke out in an all-round way. The 29th Army of Song National Revolutionary Army was ordered to go to xifengkou to defend the enemy. Feng Zhian, the commander of the 37th division, and Zhang Zizhong, the commander of the 38th division, came to the front line to direct. 109 brigade commander Zhao took the lead and was injured. Soldiers of the whole army waved broadswords and fought bloody battles; People in Shanhaiguan risked their lives to fight selflessly and bravely support the front. The air is filled with smoke, which covers the sun and the moon; The enemy was terrified when the knife flashed. Since March 9, the number of battles has been around the clock, killing more than 5 thousand enemies. The Japanese chief lamented: "Since the founding of the Meiji Emperor, the honor of the imperial army has been lost outside xifengkou!" The good news spread and the whole country was excited. The broadsword March was born and sang all over China.
On the occasion of the 60th anniversary of China people's victory in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, people who moved westward are nostalgic for history, and their hearts are stirring. It is a proposal from all walks of life to build the Great Wall Anti-Japanese War Monument, carry forward the national spirit and inspire future generations. He Xinran, Vice Chairman of the National People's Congress Standing Committee (NPCSC) and Chairman of the Central Committee of the Chinese Revolutionary Committee, wrote the name of the tablet; Zhang Guohua, a private entrepreneur in xifengkou, generously donated money for this project. In less than two months, the monument was built. This article is specially written to commemorate the stone.
The Great Wall is anti-Japanese, and its heroic spirit endures forever; China is a big country, and Yong Guang will live forever!
