Profile

Yao Ziqing (1909-1937), born in Pingyuan, Guangdong Province, graduated from the sixth phase of Huangpu Military Academy. He once participated in the northern expedition. During the Anti Japanese war in Songhu on August 13, 1937, he served as the deputy commander of the Third Battalion of 583 regiment, 292 brigade, 98th division of the 18th army of the national revolutionary army. He led the troops to fight here, held fast to the city wall and fought bravely against the Japanese army. More than 600 officers and soldiers of the whole battalion died at the age of 29.

Fighting deeds

In 1937, the "August 13" Anti Japanese war broke out in Shanghai. Facing the crazy aggressors, about 600 officers and men of Yao Ziqing's independent battalion, the national government army, were ordered to go to Baoshan, Shanghai from the mainland. They were determined to fight the enemy to the end and vowed to defend Baoshan to the death.

Baoshan City is the gateway of Shanghai along the Yangtze River. It is ten li away from Shizilin and Wusong fort. Its strategic terrain is very dangerous. On August 31, when both the north and the South were lost and Baoshan City was attacked on three sides, LV Guoquan, commander of the 292 brigade of the 98th Division, who was ordered to defend the Yangtze River Estuary, decided to send Yao Ziqing, commander of the first battalion of the 583rd regiment, to take over.

On August 31, after arriving in Baoshan, Yao Ziqing witnessed the miserable scene of the suffering of his compatriots. He called on all the officers and men of the battalion to fight the enemy to the end, and vowed to defend Baoshan to the death.

On September 1, Yao Ziqing led 600 strong men into Baoshan City.

Early in the morning, the 68th regiment of the 3rd Division of the Japanese army, with about 2500 men, approached Baoshan City under the cover of chariots. In Luodian, Baoshan, Shizilin and other places, the Chinese and Japanese armies fought repeatedly. Under the attack of the enemy's army, navy and air force, Yaoying fought against the strong enemy with a weak army and suffered heavy casualties.

On September 2, the Japanese planes and naval guns bombarded Baoshan fiercely. Under the cover of tanks, they charged many times and attacked ximenwai street and southwest city wall in an attempt to cut off the contact between yaoziqing camp and the rear. Yao Ziqing saw through the enemy's plot and took advantage of the enemy's unstable foothold to organize forces to attack the enemy. Because the enemy could not attack again and again, he frantically mobilized the troops who had just landed in Shizilin and the reinforcements to attack Baoshan. All the officers and men of Yao's battalion fought against the Japanese invasion.

On September 3, under the cover of planes, chariots and artillery, the Japanese army attacked 2000 infantry in an attempt to break through Baosheng city in the East, South and North. Yao Ziqing sent a commando team to take the lead and attack bravely. He intercepted the enemy all the way between Jinjiazhai and the periphery of Baoshan, and surrounded them from the flank to fight hand to hand with the Japanese army. More than 200 Japanese soldiers were killed in a bloody battle day and night.

On September 4, the enemy concentrated 30 warships, separated by Wusongkou, bombarded Baoshan city with artillery, and used aircraft and combat vehicles to cover the infantry to charge the defensive position. Aircraft and artillery bombardment continued for a whole day, most of the fortifications of the first battalion were destroyed, and more than 100 officers and soldiers were killed. Baoshan was besieged by the enemy, and Yao Ziqing's headquarters resisted tenaciously. At night, Yao Ziqing commands us to bury the bodies of the dead officers and soldiers. He takes off his military cap and makes a final farewell to his former comrades in arms with tears in his eyes. On the evening of the day, Yao Ziqing called the brigade headquarters: "with the purpose of swearing to die with the enemy, stick to the city wall, and fight to the end."

At dawn on September 5, after a burst of shelling, the Japanese infantry launched another tidal charge to the Yaoying position. On this day, Yao Ziqing was in a dangerous city. He still led the people to fight hard and repel the enemy's repeated attacks. On the afternoon of the 5th, all the three company commanders of Yaoying were killed, and six of the nine platoon commanders were killed. Yao Ziqing told the brothers to concentrate their light and heavy weapons and deal with the infantry first. With only three mortars, 20 light machine guns and 600 old rifles, the Third Battalion beat back more than ten enemy attacks. At this time, a Japanese tank rushed to the front of the position, and Yao Ying threw a row of grenades, which could not be stopped. Li Weiming, the first-class soldier of the second company, was strapped with grenades around his waist. He still held two grenades in his hand and rushed to the enemy's tank regardless of himself At sunset, the Japanese army finally retreated, but there were only less than 100 people left in the Yao camp.

In the early morning of September 6, the Japanese bombarded the city wall with heavy artillery, cracked the gap, and rushed into the city. Yao Ziqing lost contact with the brigade.

On the morning of the 7th, Japanese tanks broke into the city from the gap of the east gate wall, and infantry immediately flooded into the city. At 10 a.m., the Japanese bombed the southeast wall of Baoshan City and fired sulfur bombs. A sea of fire broke out in the city and another Japanese army rushed into the city. Yao was isolated and helpless. He led the remaining 20 officers and men to fight with the enemy. When the bullets were finished, he fought with the enemy hand to hand and started a white-edged street battle. At this point, Yao Ziqing's battalion stood by Baoshan City and fought with the Japanese army for eight days and nights. Because of the shortage of enemies, all 600 officers and soldiers of the battalion were killed. Yao Ziqing was also injured in many places. Finally, he was shot in the abdomen and died for his country.
