Yijiangshan Monument Introduction
One of the important battles after the Nationalist government's relocation to Taiwan, the ruins commemorate all the soldiers who fought bravely! Yijiangshan, an island off the coast of Zhejiang, was occupied by the Nationalist government in 1949. At that time, for strategic considerations, they hoped to gain control of Kinmen, Matsu, and Dachen Island, as well as Yijiangshan, to launch a counterattack on the mainland. On January 18, 1955, the Chinese Communist Party launched a large-scale attack on Yijiangshan. After more than sixty hours of fighting, the commander of the defending troops detonated grenades and committed suicide, with all the stationed soldiers perishing in the battle, which was tragic. Landmark construction: Monument established in September 1956.
