2. At that time, just as 165438+ was preparing to hold an international conference on the Nine-Nation Convention in early October, in order to show China soldiers the bitter struggle against Japanese invaders in Europe and America, and at the same time win sympathy and support from western countries, the Chiang authorities ordered a small number of troops to stay in Suzhou and Hebei. In this case, Xie Jinyuan, deputy head of the 524th regiment of the 88th Division, led about 420 people from the 1st battalion to retreat to the fourth-line warehouse. The reason for choosing this place is also extremely special. Apart from the fact that the fourth-line warehouse itself is easy to defend but difficult to attack, it is to show the sacrifice spirit of China soldiers in the concession across a river to resist the invaders and the inhumanity of the Japanese aggressors. In addition, General Xie Jinyuan claimed that he had 800 men on his side in order to last longer. This is the story background of the movie "800". So what is the actual situation of this battle described in the movie?
The Japanese Marine Corps has a brief record of this matter. According to the archives, the Japanese army began to attack Zhabei at about 4: 30 am on the 27th, and successively occupied the Railway Bureau and the Central Mint. By the night of the 27th, the Japanese army occupied all the buildings around the four-row warehouse, making it completely isolated from the world. However, there is no record of -3 1 attack on the 28th in the records of the Japanese army. It was not until the early morning of 3 1 that the four rows of warehouses were shelled. However, after two o'clock in the morning, the Japanese army completely occupied the four-row warehouse.
