On August 12, the battle of the surprise attack on Xinhuayuan began, and we annihilated a squadron of the enemy and rescued more than 2,000 prisoners of war. On the same day, in the attack on Jinan airfield, we annihilated nearly one enemy brigade and captured 12 96-1 fighters. During the battle to defend the airfield, I shot down 2 enemy aircraft. After entering the airfield, the air force of our Southern Expeditionary Army destroyed six enemy fighters. Our troops guarding the airfield routed another wing of Kono that had come to attack.

On the morning of 17 August, with the cooperation of the air force formation, our Southern Expeditionary Force attacked the Japanese army's Jinan Headquarters, the General Secret Service Organ, and some important Japanese puppet organs, disrupting the enemy's nerve center, causing confusion in the Japanese command department, and rescuing our important anti-Japanese personnel.

On 26 August, in order to clear the obstacles to the march into Wuhan, the air force of our southern expeditionary army carried out the Xuzhou Air Battle, and worked closely with the air force of the Republic of China to eliminate 50 or 60 Japanese planes and clear the air obstacles to the march into Wuhan.

On the same day, the Airborne Lu'an Campaign was carried out, uniting the 51st Army and inflicting heavy losses on the 10th Division of the Japanese Army. In the Battle of Honghua Mountain in Fujin Mountain, Song Xilian's 36th Division assisted Song Xilian and severely damaged the 13th Division of the Japanese Army, holding on to Honghua Mountain for 10 days.

In the town of Flying Pier, the enemy navy was heavily damaged and the heavy artillery positions were withdrawn. In the battle to defend Tianjiazhen, he was behind the enemy and cooperated with the national army, causing a lot of harassment to the Japanese army, covering the retreat of the national army, and saving some of Zhao Xu's officers and soldiers.

In the Battle of Wanjialing, he cooperated with the 153rd Brigade of the 51st Division of the 74th Army to capture Zhanggushan, complete the encirclement of the 106th Division, and together with Xue Yue's troops, completed the encirclement and annihilation of the 106th Division. In this battle, 14,000 people of the 106th Division were annihilated, and it was another great victory in Taierzhuang. ”

The audience once again burst into thunderous applause.

After the applause, Zhang Weihan said: "In short, in the war of the Southern Expedition, the officers and men of our Southern Expeditionary Army fought bravely, one after another, without fear of sacrifice, overcoming difficulties, and completing the sacred mission entrusted to us by history. In this war, the blood of more than 1,000 soldiers of our Southern Expeditionary Army was spilled on the battlefield of resistance against Japan, and many of them were the establishment of entire battalions. In the defense of the Jinan airfield, all our air defense battalions were martyred, and with their precious lives, they won the entry of the air force of the Southern Expeditionary Army.

In particular, our anti-Japanese advance team was still a child, but they did not give in to the butcher's knife of the Japanese invaders with their incomplete bodies, including promising teenagers like Fan Shumin. Here, I would like to mention yì for these anti-Japanese martyrs, mourn for three minutes...... All of them obeyed, and stood up—"

All the soldiers stood up and bowed their noble heads in silence. All the leaders on the stage and the people in the audience bowed their heads together and paid a three-minute silence to the martyrs who died in this southern expedition!

Han Xing's head was lowered, as if he saw all the officers and men of the air defense battalion again, under the indiscriminate bombardment of the enemy's planes, they still did not bow their heads and poured out strings of angry bullets with heavy machine guns to the enemy planes, until they all died heroically.

The children of the anti-Japanese advance team tightly gathered around Fan Shumin, shoulder to shoulder, hand in hand.

In the face of the coercion and temptation of the devils, none of Fan Shumin and the children bowed their heads, and they shouted the slogan one by one: "Down with Japanese imperialism!" "Long live the liberation of the Chinese nation!" All of them died heroically.

There were many more martyrs, who fought valiantly one by one, and fell in front of the enemy's guns or bayonets.

Martyrs, you have fallen, but you have written a glorious chapter in history. Your spirit is immortal and your spirit is immortal!

Remembering the martyrs is a kind of insight, a kind of inheritance, which is shocking and thought-provoking. From the bodies of the martyrs, we can think of Liaocheng's yesterday, today and tomorrow, see the bones, flesh and spirit of Liaocheng, and stimulate the enthusiasm, inspiration and vitality of the anti-Japanese resistance.

Han Xing silently prayed: Martyrs, rest in peace! Please believe that your blood will not be shed in vain, in this land of Liaocheng, we must fight bravely, fight tenaciously, and serve the motherland and our people with more brilliant achievements!

After Zhang Weihan finished speaking, Fan Zhuxian walked to the front of the stage again and said to tens of millions of people, officers and soldiers: "Now I would like to ask Han Xing, chief of staff of the Southern Expeditionary Army, to talk about the tasks and strategies for the future. Everyone is welcome! ”

The audience burst into warm applause. These applause is what Han Xing did, which won the trust and respect of all the officers and men of the Southern Expeditionary Army, and it is also an appreciation of all the people of Liaocheng for the achievements of the Southern Expeditionary Army!

Of course, there is also Fan Zhuxian's meaning here, as for Li Shuchun, Wang Jinxiang, Fan Zhuxian thinks that it is better for you to talk less, and you are not qualified to speak at the celebration party, he just wants to make Han Xing cover Li Shuchun and Wang Jinxiang.

Han Xing's speech did not have Zhang Weihan's cheerfulness, and his heaviness deepened the gloom of the venue.

"Compatriots, all the soldiers of the Southern Expeditionary Army, all the soldiers and villagers who stayed in their hometowns, hello everyone - in this Southern Expedition, although it is said to be a victory, but the battle of Fujin Mountain, it can be said to be a tragic victory, the battle of Tianjia Town, although after our efforts, but Tianjia Town is still lost, it can be said to be a failure, but the battle of Wanjialing, can also be said to be a big victory.

After the Battle of Wuhan, the Japanese army freed up its energy and must come to deal with us in the rear. Especially Liaocheng, which is surrounded by the Japanese army on all sides, will not be willing to lose, so we will have to bear more pressure. So what should we do? We will have to prepare for war more closely, train our troops, and make good preparations before a big battle, so that we can deal with the attack of the little devils.

There is also what we must do, that is, to pay close attention to production, anti-Japanese without guns and bullets, without food and vegetables, without materials and money! We still have a lot of work to do, so we must work hard......"

Han Xing talked a lot about it, which was nothing more than a warning to everyone that the war was going on now, and everyone should redouble their efforts and prepare for even more difficult battles in the future!

After Han Xing finished speaking, Fan Zhuxian, on behalf of the highest party, government, and military departments in Liaocheng, rewarded all meritorious personnel with honor and material according to the size of their merits, and compensated the dead martyrs.

As ordinary officers and soldiers, they do not understand very esoteric theories, and the most affordable thing is material rewards and food, after all, material things can be seen and touched, and eating is a kind of survival need!

Before eating, Fan Zhuxian and Zhang Weihan bumped their heads first, and there were not a few words, of course, they chose the most important thing.

Fan Zhuxian said: "After three days of rest, will each unit return to its original station, and each of them will belong to its own unit? ”

Zhang Weihan said: "What I didn't say, of course, is that they each went back to their own troops and defense areas. ”

There was no controversy about this one, and both sides were happy.

Fan Zhuxian asked: "Then what about the Air Force?" Are we asking them to stay? ”

Zhang Weihan said: "The Air Force doesn't count what we say, they listen to Han Xing." Besides, the Air Force is a central series, so I'm afraid we can't control it. ”

Zhang Weihan helped Han Xing tell nonsense according to the prior agreement. That is, the army guarding the local government says that the air force belongs to the central government, and the army guarding the central army says that the air force belongs to the local government.

Fan Zhuxian didn't know that the Air Force belonged to Han Xing's transfer, but in front of Zhang Weihan, he had to say these words in a consultative tone, if Zhang Weihan also agreed to the Air Force to stay, then he had to find ways to keep the Air Force.

Fan Zhuxian asked again: "Have you thought about how to arrange Han Xing?" ”

Zhang Weihan said: "If the guerrilla headquarters in Liaocheng has not been arranged, I want him to join our 10th detachment as a deputy commander. Of course, this is subject to approval from above. ”

Fan Zhuxian knew it in his heart, and thought to himself, your 10th detachment wants to dig him up, and my headquarters still wants him! Wang Jinxiang wasted one, couldn't do anything, and caused trouble. Han Xing just couldn't withstand Wang Jinxiang's words, so he also gave him a deputy commander to do it, and also increased my strength to suppress the power of Wang Jinxiang's faction.

Fan Zhuxian asked again: "What about the heavy artillery regiment, how do you plan to place it?" ”

Zhang Weihan was shocked when he heard this, this is the most difficult problem, whoever masters the heavy artillery regiment will master the ability to attack the city. Needless to say, of course 10 detachments want to have it. But it's hard to say, it's definitely Fan Zhuxian's idea that he also wants to fight the heavy artillery regiment!

Zhang Weihan had no choice but to say: "This matter is very complicated. There was a mortar battalion in the heavy artillery regiment, which was from our 10 detachments. Besides, in the matter of the heavy artillery regiment, Han Xing has spent a lot of brains, and he has to listen to Han Xing's opinion. ”

Fan Zhuxian listened to it without words, it seems that although Zhang Weihan didn't say it directly, he also wanted this heavy artillery regiment! You want it, I want it more, except for the Air Force, this is the biggest baby bump in my Liaocheng!

In this way, Fan Zhuxian and Zhang Weihan also had some contradictions, the general loves warriors and weapons, it seems that this is a common problem!

A large restaurant was also built next to the airport, which was also needed for economic development. Although the cafeteria is not very large, and it can also hold ten or eight tables, as well as a few private rooms, it is quite difficult to arrange such a large number of officers and soldiers.

Fortunately, the logistics department is also very good at arranging, those who can enter the restaurant, all according to the level of the line, can not enter the restaurant is outside, where it is cool to set the table.

If you don't even have a table, it's all on the ground, good meat and good dishes, you can eat enough, and drink it in limited quantities, so as not to drink and make mistakes.

When eating, it was also about the level, Fan Zhuxian, Zhang Weihan, Li Shuchun, Wang Jinxiang, and Han Xing sat at a table. Of course, there is also a purpose for arranging Han Xing at this table, that is, to arrange the air force of the heroes of the Southern Expeditionary Army, Xu Da and Zhang Fei, if they can stay in the air force, of course, they must try their best to stay in the air force, if they really can't keep the air force, this is actually a send-off party for the two.

There is a big table of chicken, duck and fish on the table, of course, this is the result of the efforts of the whole region under the advocacy and technical guidance of Hanxing. Today's Liaocheng is no longer what it used to be, from grain to aquaculture, from industry to other industries, there has been a great development.

Fan Zhuxian sat at the top, arranged Xu Da and Zhang Fei in the seats next to Fan Zhuxian, and the rest of the people sat in turn.

Fan Zhuxian first picked up the wine glass and said, "Everyone! Everybody! Without the support of the Air Force, we would not even be able to go out of our homes, and we would not have been able to talk about the southern and northern expeditions. Here, on behalf of the party, government, military, and people in Liaocheng, I would like to express my deep gratitude to the two of you and to all the commanders and fighters of the Air Force. ”

Of course, Xu Da and Zhang Fei also stood up early and raised their wine glasses. Xu Da said to Fan Zhuxian: "Commander Fan, we will replace wine with tea, thank you to the soldiers and civilians of Liaocheng for their enthusiastic care of us." ”

Fan Zhuxian said with a blank face: "It's not okay to replace wine with tea, there will be no war tonight." Even if there is a war, your air force will not be allowed to dispatch, and our army will stand up to it. ”

Xu Da said: "After eating, we are going back to our base. You can't drink alcohol when flying an airplane, you know that. ”
