"My friends' proposal is very good, you can consider opening a story about Lao Wang, which is dedicated to telling the story of Lao Wang and my past." Wang Liang replied with a smile.
October 1, 1949 was a day that attracted worldwide attention.
The founding ceremony and military parade of the People's Republic of China is not only Chinese, but also foreigners.
They are eager to understand the new China and what kind of regime will be established in this fertile land.
Is this country tough enough?
Will she fall in a matter of years, or even just a few days, as previous regimes have done?
Will their countries be able to reap the benefits here?
These are the concerns of many foreigners.
The autumn of 1949 was an extraordinary season in Chinese history, and people could not feel the coolness of the autumn breeze, and their hearts were filled with endless warmth.
It's like spring, and the flowers are blooming.
It's like summer, and the sun is like fire.
Expelled the darkness, the dawn, quietly came.
The founding ceremony is scheduled to start at 3 p.m., and tens of thousands of staff members have been busy since the early hours of the morning.
The reason why the founding ceremony was set in the afternoon was to prevent Chang Kaishen from sending an air force to attack Beiping in a desperate way.
Although Chang Kaishen at this moment did not know that several of his generals had been cracked by the security department, the risk of change should still be fully considered.
After all, the national army has an air force with strong combat effectiveness, and the PLA has only 17 planes in total.
And without air defense radar, anti-aircraft artillery fire on the ground may not be able to play a role.
Therefore, once the Kuomintang air force comes to make a sneak attack, it basically has no power to parry, and it will cause irreparable consequences.
In the comment area, netizens asked: "Three o'clock? Why are there three points? Wouldn't the usual people who set the time at three o'clock come? ”
Wang Liang made a scientific answer: "Three o'clock in the afternoon, the time that has been carefully calculated. ”
"At that time, the aircraft used by the Kuomintang for bombing was an American-made B-24 bomber, which could reach a speed of 488 kilometers per hour and a maximum range of 3,380 kilometers."
"From the Zhoushan Islands in Zhejiang, the distance between it and Beiping is 1,230 kilometers. If you take off in the morning, you can arrive in Beiping in about three hours, and you can return safely after carrying out the bombing mission. ”
"But if it is an operation in the afternoon, there is no way for the plane to return safely after the bombing mission, because the B-24's night flight capability is so poor."
This is the thick and unknown history, and looking back now, it has a different taste.
In fact, Chang Kaishen did not give the order to bomb Beiping in the end.
Maybe I don't want to see the Tiananmen Tower annihilated.
Maybe they didn't want to see those young pilots die.
After all, we are all Chinese, and what flows in our veins is the blood of Chinese descendants.
Accompanied by the march of the volunteers and the cheers of the people downstairs, the chairman announced to the whole of China and the world: "The Central People's Government of the People's Republic of China has been established today!"
With the chairman pressing the electric button, in the majestic melody of the national anthem "March of the Volunteers", the bright five-star red flag rose in the solemn gaze of the crowd.
300,000 people stood solemnly together, looking up at the first national flag of New China, and people's hearts were surging and their blood was boiling.
Wang Liang remembered an interesting incident back then, and said: "Maybe many people don't know that this national flagpole back then also had a great origin, and everyone may not believe it when you say it, it is made of water pipes." ”
"At that time, New China was poor and white, and had to use water pipes to make the national flag flagpole. Four water pipes of different diameters were selected, put together section by section, and finally welded a flagpole with a length of 22.5 meters, which took 10 days before and after. ”
"In order to ensure the success of the automatic lifting, the staff has paid a lot of painstaking and repeated experiments to determine that there are no problems before they are considered successful."
"Now that China is an industrial powerhouse, there will be no more embarrassing situations. The flagpole is now in the collection of the National Museum of China. When I'm not working, I'll go see her. ”
In and out of the words, Wang Liang revealed a feeling.
People of their generation, old and old, go and go, and there is not much left.
When people with the same experience are gone, feelings are revealed more and more often.
Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom
The salute team fired 28 salutes with 108 guns.
The ceremony was brought to a climax at once.
Commander-in-Chief Zhu De, dressed in military uniform, and accompanied by Nie Rongzhen, rode in a parade car to inspect the representative units of the navy lined up on East Chang'an Avenue, the army's infantry division, artillery division, and chariot division, and the cavalry division on West Chang'an Avenue.
The commander-in-chief waved to the soldiers again and again, and the excited soldiers also responded with the loudest voices: "I wish the commander-in-chief good health!"
Although the words were simple, they were very simple, and they also shouted out the hearts of all the soldiers.
Then came the main event, with the first to pass through Tiananmen Square by a naval contingent wearing new uniforms.
After the two teams of the Northeast Naval Academy and the East China Naval Fleet passed through Tiananmen Square, the Haicheng Naval Advanced Artillery School team led by Wang Liang was the next to appear.
"Passing through Tiananmen Square now is a team from the Haicheng Naval Advanced Artillery School, they are the young People's Navy, and they are marching towards a broad road! The team was led by Wang Liang and Gao Dashan. ”
Wang Liang will never forget that day, that moment, those people.
The heart is surging, this is the truest portrayal of his heart at that time.
A strong country, a strong people's army.
A sense of pride and pride arises.
Although it is starting from scratch, although there is still a long way to go, but! At this moment, China is raising its eyebrows.
The Navy was followed by the Army.
The infantry division was inspected with three formed infantry regiments and one battalion each of submachine guns, light machine guns, communications, heavy machine guns, light mortars, heavy mortars, anti-aircraft guns, and mountain artillery.
The artillery division appeared in Tiananmen Square with a lineup of 75-mm field guns, 105-mm howitzers, 37 and 75-mm anti-aircraft guns.
The artillery advanced from small to large, from low to high, and was towed by medium-sized trucks or ten-wheeled trucks, and the scene was quite spectacular.
The tank division consisted of one regiment each of motorized infantry, armored infantry and tank troops.
When the chariot division entered Tiananmen Square, the air force flew into the sky in two and three planes one after another, echoing the chariot units on the ground.
