Introduction to the Gubeikou Seven Warriors Monument: On March 4, 1933, the 8th Division of the Xixi 1st Kwantung Army of the Japanese invaders attacked Gubeikou. At about 2 p.m. on March 12, the 25th Division headquarters was blown up by enemy planes. The front line lost command and support, causing the entire front to retreat. When the troops retreated to the foot of "Mao Shan", they were discovered by the Japanese troops occupying "Jiangjun Tower". The Japanese army immediately bombarded with heavy artillery and deployed aircraft to repeatedly bomb and straf. Our army suffered heavy casualties. At this time, a large number of Japanese troops poured in from Beishan. Seven soldiers immediately blocked the attack and covered the retreat of the troops. When the 25th Division and the 145th Regiment had safely retreated, they ignored that these seven people were still fighting on the front line and had never received any retreat orders. However, they still stood on the hilltop in the face of a strong enemy and resisted desperately. In the end, the Japanese army finally occupied Mao Shan and the land at its feet, but were overcome by the spirit and fighting power of the seven Chinese soldiers. After the battle, the Japanese army carried the bodies of seven Chinese soldiers to the foot of the mountain, buried the seven people, and erected a 1.8-meter-high wooden sign "Tomb of the Seven Warriors of China". Then all the Japanese soldiers lined up to bow to the cemetery. . The "Gubeikou Seven Warriors Monument" voluntarily erected by Gubeikou villagers in 2005 is 3.54 meters high and made of the hardest Chengde specialty "Shenzhou Blue" granite. It stands majestically on the "Maoshan" where the Seven Warriors fought bloody battles. feet.
