In the early stage of the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, the invading Japanese troops marched forward with great vigor along the Jinpu Line, capturing Tianjin, going down to Quancheng, occupying Tai 'an, and seizing Yanzhou and Zouxian. And he vowed to capture Tengxian by March 16, 1938, and then trudge into Zaozhuang and Taierzhuang, and march straight for Xuzhou. However, in the Teng County area, especially around the Beisha River, they encountered tenacious resistance from the anti-Japanese military and civilians. Enraged, the Japanese invaders massacred Beishahe Village, creating a heinous "March 15th" massacre. Under the leadership of anti-Japanese key figures such as Qingshan, Laoxiangshu and Caifeng, the villagers of Beishahe actively supported the 7th Iron Regiment of the Sichuan Army in building fortifications, digging trenches, breaking roads and blowing up Bridges. As the 7th Iron Regiment withdrew from Beisha River and returned to the city for defense, they and the villagers made the worst preparations... On March 15th, when the inhumane Japanese invading forces "massacred Beisha River", the brave soldiers of the anti-Japanese Self-Protection Army such as Wang Shuai and the key anti-Japanese figures of Beisha River villagers like Qingshan and Caifeng showed no timidity in the face of death. They fought against the invaders with their last breath and shed their last drop of blood, which inspired all the villagers. With their flesh and blood, they won precious time for the defense of Tengxian and made positive contributions to the great victory at Taierzhuang. The deceased compatriots of Beishahe Village! You, like the martyrs who defended Tengxian County, are also heroes worthy of eternal remembrance by future generations![Collapse]
