Victory Song but you're defending Sihang Warehouse to your last breath

The Defense of Sihang Warehouse took place from October 26 to November 1, 1937 in the opening phase of the Second Sino-Japanese War. Defenders of the warehouse held out against numerous waves of Japanese forces and covered Chinese forces retreating west during the Battle of Shanghai. The warehouse's location just across the Suzhou Creek from the foreign concessions in Shanghai meant the battle took place in full view of the western powers. In Chinese, the 452 defenders are known as the Eight Hundred Heroes, because commander Xie Jinyuan, not wanting to reveal their true strength to the Japanese, provided an exaggerated number to girl guide Yang Huimin to announce to the public. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defense...   / historyfeels     / discord   Many, many thanks to Patrons!
