Chapter 664: The Ceremony in Progress
Although the First Division is a military unit at the division level, it is the top in the entire Chinese Army in terms of combat effectiveness, far surpassing a field division of the Japanese army. In terms of the composition of the entire division, the entire division of the first division directly under it is composed of veterans, and the predecessor of the first division directly under it is the guard regiment of the Inner Mongolia Military Region, which is the guard unit of the entire Inner Mongolia Military Region and Han Yunhua himself, so the loyalty of each soldier has also been tested.
The parade ceremony is not all troops can participate, it doesn't matter if the technology is poor, but the most important thing is that the soldiers participating in the parade ceremony must be loyal, otherwise it is easy to have accidents, you must know that the guns in their hands are real guns, although most of the time, the bullets used in the parade are empty cartridges for training, or there are no bullets at all. However, if you really want to calculate a certain leading cadre of the central authorities, it is still very easy to sneak a bullet into the parade site. The leaders who participated in the parade were all China's top leaders, so their safety must be guaranteed.
Han Yunhua is under a lot of pressure now, although he has handed over the battles on the front line to Yang Chengwu and others to command, with the level of Yang Chengwu and Chen Geng and others, it is not much worse than him Han Yunhua, so now Han Yunhua is bent on military parades. But this military parade is not the same as the usual military parade, and the military parade of the founding ceremony has to face the whole of China, and even the whole world, and it must not be sloppy at all.
There is only less than a month left before the founding ceremony, and Han Yunhua is busy training troops in Zhangjiakou every day. And the fighting on the southern front is basically over. Although Terauchi Shouichi planned to fight to the end, the Allies were not vegetarians, and although the casualties in the frontal attack were too large, the Allies did not mind being consumed with the Japanese army like this. Anyway, the Japanese army has so much supplies, and every day that passes is a little less, and if it takes a while, the Japanese army will probably take the initiative to attack without the Allied attack.
Sure enough, every move of the Japanese army was exactly as judged by the Allied command, and there was no need for the Allies to do anything at all, the Allies just sent their air forces to move the entire Indochina (now Indochina. Mainly refers to Vietnam) was completely blocked, not giving the Japanese army the opportunity to airdrop supplies to the army, therefore, from mid-May to the end of June. For a month and a half, Terauchi had received only one small air reinforcement, so Terauchi had run out of supplies 10 days earlier. If it weren't for the fact that there were still a few county towns in some places controlled by the Japanese army, there were still many locals living in the county towns on the Indochina Peninsula. Terauchi Shouichi ordered the troops to gather all the rations in the city and distribute them, otherwise the Japanese army would have run out of food.
Despite this, the city has been starved to death for more than ten days, and even Terauchi himself can only eat one dry meal a day, many soldiers have fallen ill due to severe malnutrition, and non-combat attrition is increasing at a rapid rate.
Shouichi Terauchi knew that if he continued to consume like this, the entire army would be completely exhausted. Therefore, he had to order the troops to take the initiative to attack the Allied forces, hoping to inflict heavy casualties on the Allied forces.
But Terauchi Shouichi's wish was soon frustrated, hundreds of thousands of Allied troops have always been ready to go, closely monitoring the Japanese army's every move, so all the actions of the Japanese army can not hide from the eyes of the Allied command, so the result of this battle has long been doomed, from the Japanese army took the initiative to launch an attack to the end of the battle lasted only 5 days, the final result was that the Allied forces completely annihilated all the Japanese puppet forces in the Indochina Peninsula, killing more than 48,000 Japanese soldiers. More than 150,000 Japanese soldiers were captured, and a large number of prisoners were also rescued, and the commander-in-chief of the Japanese Southern Army, Marshal Terauchi Toshiichi, was captured by the Allied side and was soon sent to the Allied headquarters to prepare for trial at a later date.
In this battle, the casualties on the Allied side were still not large. No more than 9,000 people were killed in the battle, and the total number of light and serious wounded was only more than 20,000. Comparatively, the casualties were still within the tolerable range.
With the remnants of the Japanese army on the Indochina Peninsula all annihilated, the last military force of the Japanese army overseas no longer exists, and now the whole of Japan is in a panic and fear, although the Japanese government vigorously publicizes how the local plan is foolproof, and it will definitely ensure the security of the Japanese mainland, but with a series of failures, the Japanese people who have been severely hit have lost the minimum fighting spirit, and many people do not believe that the government can hold on to the Japanese island under the blows of China, the United States, the Soviet Union, Britain and other countries. As a result, in recent years, Japan's currency has depreciated, prices have skyrocketed, crime rates have risen sharply, and many shops have had to close down due to murders and robberies.
Regardless of the situation in Japan, let's just say that the founding ceremony of the Chinese side has also been prepared at the most critical juncture, and with the expectations of the people of the whole country, by 25 July, everything has been prepared, and even the large troops trained by Han Yunhua to participate in the military parade have all been transferred to Beiping, and two closed rehearsals were held on 26 and 27 July.
On August 1, 40,000 compatriots throughout China laid down their hands and waited for this historic moment. In order to hold the founding ceremony of the People's Republic of China, * was renovated, and a huge portrait of * was hung in the center of the banner "The Inauguration Ceremony of the Central People's Government of the People's Republic of China". The slogans on both sides read "Long live the Central People's Government" in the east and "Long live the People's Republic of China" in the west. And also hung the national emblem, which is a little different from history, the founding ceremony in history does not have a national emblem, because on September 25 and 26, the CPPCC symposium and the review committee thought that it would be revised, so on the 27th, the plenary meeting only passed the national flag, the national anthem, the national capital, and the year of the four resolutions. But now, due to Han Yunhua's strong support and some reasonable opinions, the national emblem was finally determined.
At this time, Beiping has officially changed its name to Beijing, and the entire Beijing city is called a lantern at this time, and it is very lively. Outside the Zhonghua Gate, Zhengyang Gate, Qianmen Arrow Tower, many buildings on both sides of the lantern hung flags. The big characters of "Beiping East Railway Station" and "Beiping West Railway Station" were changed to "Beijing East Railway Station" and "Beijing West Railway Station" overnight. A large number of workers, students, cadres, citizens, and city defense troops rushed to the city from all directions*. Everyone held up the improvised five-star red flag and other red flags, red lights, and small colored flags. In particular, the five-pointed star lanterns of different sizes with red silk paste have really become a sea of red flags and red lights.
In addition, it is worth mentioning that there are many Hui people who participated in this founding ceremony, and they wore little white hats and held the star and moon flag on a green background, which looked very different. By 11 a.m. on August 1, 300,000 people were sitting on the floor in the venue.
At 2 p.m. on August 1, the first meeting of the Central Committee of the People's Government was held in the Qinzheng Palace. The members of the association announced their inauguration, and the central government, the people, the people, and the government were formally established. Immediately, Lin Bo Qu was elected secretary general, Zhou Enlai was appointed as the general manager of the Government Council and minister of foreign affairs, and Mao Zedong was appointed as the chairman of the People's Revolutionary Committee. Zhu De was the chief procurator of the Supreme People's Procuratorate for the people, the people, the liberation of the army, the general department of the army, Shen Jun, and Ru as the president of the Supreme People's Court, and Luo Ronghuan as the chief procurator of the Supreme People's Procuratorate. The meeting also declared the acceptance of the Common Program as the policy of governance, and informed all foreign governments that only this government is the sole legitimate government of China and that they are willing to establish diplomatic relations with other countries on an equal footing. After the meeting, all the leaders took the car out of the east gate of the South and South Seas, got off the bus and went upstairs, and the celebration started on time at 3 o'clock in the afternoon.
The solemn and solemn founding ceremony finally began at 3 p.m. on August 1, with the convoy led by the Central Committee slowly arriving. The chairman and others waited for the city tower gate, and the founding ceremony officially began. ... [This chapter is not finished, please click on the next page to continue reading!] ]
