The more I tried to write it well, the worse it became. Finally, the chairman sighed, changed the word "爸" in the first time to the third time, and turned back.
Nanyue Martyr's Shrine, located below the Xianglu Peak of Hengshan Mountain in Hengyang City, Hunan Province, was built to commemorate the fallen soldiers of the Anti-Japanese War.
There are 13 large martyrs' tombs in total in the Martyrs' Shrine. The tombs are scattered around, solemn and solemn. There are temples, stone carvings and shells in the temple.
The monument is shaped like five giant cannonballs pointing directly at the blue sky, symbolizing the determination of the Han, Manchu, Mongolian, Hui, and Tibetan people to unite and fight against the enemy.
The Nanyue Martyr's Shrine is one of the earliest and largest anti-Japanese war memorial sites built in China. It is also one of the important memorial sites for the Anti-Japanese War and the World Anti-Fascist War. The general shrine of the Chinese nation's fallen soldiers is established here.
On the way down the mountain, the first lady saw that the chairman was unhappy, so she asked with concern: "Darling, are you tired?"
Soong Meiling held Jiang's arm, and she clearly felt that her husband was shrouded in a deep sadness at the moment.
"After winning the battle, we are still mourners. Do you think those imperialist powers will turn to respect us because of our sacrifices?"
The chairman sighed deeply, and said angrily, "They have discriminated against us and bullied us from history. Their arrogance and contempt for our nation, including me, the chairman, seem to be innate!
Although they themselves were defeated in front of the Japanese pirates, the entire division and regiment surrendered, and a huge fleet was easily eaten up..."
"Darling, don't be sad, the Chinese nation will stand up again sooner or later."
After the first lady comforted the Chairman softly, she thought brokenly, "I think, I should do something."
But this is still the case, the chairman was only thinking about his own concerns, and didn't pay attention to the point of the second half of the sentence.
The victory in this battle brought a great reputation to the Chairman, not only strengthened his confidence in the victory of the War of Resistance, but also made him see that China's prosperity and independence were completely attainable goals.
The dawn of China's victory in the Anti-Japanese War has already risen, and it will become brighter and brighter in the years to come.
Time flies like an arrow, the sun and the moon fly, and the time soon came to November 1942, 5.
In the conference room of the Allied Forces Command in Alexandria, senior generals from China, the United States, the United Kingdom, the United Kingdom, the sea, land and air gathered together. The main topic of the meeting was that the North African battlefield will begin to shift to the stage of strategic counteroffensive.
There was more than half an hour before the official meeting time. Besides Yang Fan and Stilwell, Barton, Auchinleck, Wang Liguo and others arrived early. Everyone looked relaxed and excited, talking and laughing with each other in a harmonious atmosphere. .
In the past few months, they have completed a perfect run-in with each other, and forged a deep friendship in the long-term side-by-side combat.
The strong strength and excellent record of the Chinese Expeditionary Army won the recognition and respect of the British and American Allied Forces, and it has long become the core force of the Allied Forces in the North African battlefield.
"Commander Stilwell is here, and Deputy Commander Yang is here!"
On time and on time, Yang Fan and Stilwell came hand in hand, and all the officers immediately stood up in unison and saluted with attention.
Chapter 1434
"Gentlemen, please be quiet."
After some opening remarks, Yang Fan put his face down and said in an excited tone,
"Everyone, let's get down to business now. As everyone has been expecting, from today onwards, our allied forces in the African theater will officially enter the stage of strategic counter-offensive."
"Today we have only one topic, and that is to arrange the deployment of a counter-offensive campaign against the Axis forces! This campaign is roughly divided into three stages,..."
Immediately afterwards, Yang Fan released the counterattack plan that had been discussed and formulated with Stilwell and others.
It has been half a year since Yang Fan led the team to the North African theater. After a long period of indecent development and a protracted war of attrition, it has finally come to an end!
Now the African Allied Forces not only have an absolute advantage in air and sea control, but even the army has become fuller, and has the strength to be tough with Rommel's African Army.
Correspondingly, Rommel's African Army was unable to move forward due to insufficient supplies of technical equipment, especially the bottleneck of fuel shortage, and was forced to switch to strategic defense.
With enough power accumulated, there is really no need for Yang Fan to keep a low profile. The African battlefield needs to be resolved as soon as possible to create the prerequisites for opening up the second European battlefield.
This is not to say that Yang Fan wants to follow the Anglo-American coalition forces to do things, but that after the allied forces have gained absolute war initiative in the African theater, they will shift their focus to China and launch a comprehensive strategic counterattack against Little Japan.
In fact, at this time, the domestic battlefield is undergoing major changes.
Due to the strong attack power of the Huben army, it is constantly expanding its territory, conquering the surrounding Japanese-occupied areas little by little, coupled with the unprecedented victory of the third Changsha battle, more than 30 American mechanists returned to the Huaxia battlefield.
The Japanese army has felt a great military threat.
The Myanmar General Army hoarded in Thailand has 100 million heavy troops, but after launching many large-scale counter-offensives, they were unable to take advantage of the Chinese Huben Army, and it was useless except to increase casualties.
Since Burma cannot be conquered, such strategic resources cannot be wasted idlely,
Under such circumstances, the Japanese base camp had no choice but to retreat, so they came up with the idea of the Burmese General Army and ordered 60 of them to be dispatched to the Chinese battlefield.
In fact, this is not a second best thing. The Chinese battlefield has always been the most important core interest in the eyes of the Japanese government.
As the notorious Tanaka Memorial said, "If you want to conquer China, you must first conquer Manchuria and Mongolia; if you want to conquer the world, you must first conquer China."
Therefore, the domestic battlefield still has a long way to go, and Yang Fan must seize the time to settle the African battlefield.
After the meeting, the Allied Navy, Army and Air Force began to actively operate in accordance with the strategic deployment, and a counter-offensive of unprecedented scale was about to start.
On May 5, at a front-line station of the German-Italian coalition forces.
Since it was located in a deserted desert, there were no comfortable houses, so Rommel could only set up his headquarters in a tent.
Now, Rommel is shaving in front of the mirror,
As they were shaving, two orderlies carried a large bucket of clean water into Rommel's tent and found it for Rommel.
Fresh water resources in the desert are extremely precious, but that depends on whom.
After shaving, Rommel took a comfortable shower with cold water.
After taking a shower and putting on a clean shirt, facing the cool breeze blowing into the tent, Rommel immediately felt refreshed, and the scorching heat and muggy heat brought by the hot summer in the desert were relieved a lot.
In another tent, Chief of Staff Meneki, Chief of Operations Chief Paulot and others were not so comfortable, and they were busy all the time in hot weather.
The two of them had been busy for a long time with several combat staff officers, and finally presented the latest developments of the allied forces and the allied forces on the map one by one.
Because of this, Rommel can intuitively view the current North African war situation through maps and maps, and make accurate judgments and countermeasures based on this.
Walking into the tent and seeing the achievements of Menegi and others, Rommel nodded happily and said: "General Menegi, you have worked hard, and you have done a good job."
"It's hard work at all."
Hearing the praise from his immediate superior, Meneki stood at attention extremely happily, and said in a respectful voice, "It is our great honor to be able to serve the general, the head of state and the empire."
"very good!"
Rommel waved his hand, and looked carefully at the map.
At this time, Meneki began to explain: "Your Excellency, according to the information provided by the Air Force's reconnaissance plane, the three armies of the Allied Forces have arrived near Siwa, Gala, and Sibaira respectively."
"is it?"
Rommel frowned slightly and said, "So, the Allied forces should be launching a large-scale counterattack, and they can't sit still."
"Yes, Your Excellency, General, you are really good at predicting things. You calculated all the reactions of the Allied forces to the extreme early on."
Menecki said in a respectful voice, "Every move of the Allied forces has not deviated from your judgment, Your Excellency General. They really want to start with the Mediterranean supply line first, and will take the coastal line as the main direction of attack."
"This is also the expected result. The Allied forces have achieved sea and air superiority, and our supply has begun to have problems."
Rommel said bluntly, "Whether it is for the Allied forces or for our Axis coalition forces, cutting off the opponent's logistics supply line is the most effective means of victory."
"In this situation where I can make a big difference with a small amount, if I were the commander-in-chief of the Allied Forces, I would not choose to rush to fight head-on with the Axis Allied Forces."
Speaking of this, Rommel said in a heavy tone: "If we can't solve the supply problem as soon as possible, we will be in big trouble."
Rommel really had some headaches. At the moment when he had the most overwhelming advantage and was closest to victory, more than 20 Chinese Expeditionary Forces arrived.
Under Yang Fan's powerful intervention, the Allied forces soon had a backbone and regained their will to fight. They not only withstood the stormy and crazy attacks of the Axis troops, but also fought a series of beautiful counterattacks, forcibly holding on. The impending collapse of the Allied camp in North Africa.
At that time, Rommel had an ominous premonition.
The next thing, as Rommel predicted, became reality step by step.
After a long period of intense consumption, the North African German-Italian coalition forces with insufficient industrial production capacity and fuel shortages began to gradually lose their technical and equipment advantages. However, the Allied forces became stronger and stronger, and the density of technical equipment was several times that of their own.
The worst thing for Rommel at present is that the war situation on the Soviet-German battlefield is changing as the Soviet Union has recovered from its continuous assistance.
Chapter 1435 Visit to America
Seeing that the Soviet Union, which had survived the harsh winter, seemed to be coming back to life, the German head of state was naturally anxious.
In order to completely kill the Soviet Union as soon as possible, the head of state no longer cared about Rommel, and transferred a large number of tanks, aircraft and other technical equipment that should have been transported to the North African battlefield to the European Eastern Front.
And it seems that this trend will continue for a long time, which means that the African battlefield will be malnourished for a long time.
In addition, Pig teammate Air Force Marshal Goering performed well, and the reaction force he exerted was also very strong.
In order to satisfy his personal desires, Goering turned the Air Force into a pig farm, and once again created a 25 Luftwaffe field division ingeniously.
It took a lot of human, financial and material resources in Germany, but it didn't train enough excellent pilots.
As a result, after a series of intense attrition battles, Air Force pilots began to be stretched thin. Even if the trump cards were full in the early stage, but they were consumed but could not be replenished, it was equal to zero.
"Yeah, although we have a lot of troops, the supply of equipment is a huge problem.
And fighting in the desert area with such a harsh climate and environment, without air supremacy and enough armored vehicles, it is impossible to win the war! "
Meneki sighed, rubbed his forehead and asked softly, "Your Excellency, how should we deal with it?"
"Then what else can we do? Apart from continuing to lay more landmines to delay the attack, and we make up for the shortcomings through sports tactics, we can only hope that the German army fighting in the Soviet Union can defeat the Soviet army as soon as possible."
Rommel also felt powerless as never before. In the face of absolute strength, as long as the enemy does not make stupid mistakes, it is almost impossible to come back with skills alone.
He had predicted that the North African Allied Forces would soon be strong enough to attack his troops, so as early as a month ago, he promptly changed his strategy from offense to defense.
Rommel ordered the troops to lay more than 50 landmines in the vast desert area. They are mainly composed of anti-tank mines and mixed with anti-personnel mines.
On this basis, Rommel's best hope now is that the German forces fighting at Stalingrad can quickly defeat the Soviet forces, and then move south through the Transcaucasus, threatening Persia and the Middle East.
This will cause a large number of North African Allied forces to mobilize troops from Egypt to Persia again to help the British defense. In that case, the North African Allied forces' attack on the German army will also be delayed.
By this time, Rommel could press the top German commanders to provide strong support for his troops again.
Eventually, his Afrika Korps would join forces with German forces in the southern part of the Soviet Union to defeat Allied forces in North Africa and the Middle East.
Although these ideas are good, it is not so easy to turn them into reality.
But at this time, the first lady of the National Government came to the United States thousands of miles away with a mission.
On May 1942, 5, a Boeing 2 stratospheric airliner flying over the vast Pacific Ocean slowly landed at Chelsea Airport in New York, USA.
After the passenger plane came to a complete stop, the cabin door was opened soon, and the first lady appeared at the cabin door with a charming smile to meet everyone's curious eyes.
"Crack! Kick!"
Under the flashing spotlights, dozens of major newspapers and radio reporters waiting there were surprised to see that the person walking down the gangway was an elegant young woman with a smile on her face.
This is very different from the mysterious and ignorant oriental ancient queen-like first lady they imagined.
"I came here to seek the friendship between China and the United States. I believe that God is not willing to see the two greatest nations in the world separated from each other."
Immediately afterwards, what surprised the reporters even more was that when the first lady answered reporters about the mission of this trip, her fluent English with a slightly southern American accent was no less than the words of the world's best professional diplomats.
?After her first appearance to a chorus of applause, the first lady took her time to carry out her series of visits to the United States.
The experience of studying in the United States as a child and the Christian belief of the Song family made it easier for her to enter the hearts of the American public and those officials with a serious appearance.
In the Capitol Hill, which symbolizes the highest courtesy to guests, she is still the only Chinese woman on the podium.
Here, the first lady narrates in English the hardships and hardships of China's 1931-year war of resistance since 10, and enumerates the appalling and bloody atrocities committed by the Japanese invaders in China.
The members of Congress and the audience present were all deeply moved, and some even shed tears.
After the speech, hundreds of congressmen and the audience packed into the gallery stood up and applauded for a full 7 minutes.
Congressman Vandenberg and Truman, who later became President, both said afterwards that they were moved to tears by the lady's speech.
At radio stations across America, at Madison Square Garden, at the Hollywood Bowl, in factories, schools, hospitals.
At the press conference held jointly with President Roosevelt in the Oval Office of the White House, whether it is speeches, fundraising, visits, interviews, or answering tricky questions from reporters.
With her knowledge, demeanor and eloquence, the first lady properly presented the image of Chinese women unfamiliar to Americans, and built an emotional bridge for the United States to understand China.
Careful American women noticed that when the first lady appeared on social occasions, no matter she was wearing a suit skirt or a Chinese cheongsam, there was always a very delicate Chinese Air Force wings badge flashing on the pin position.
Is it ingeniously reminding the United States that China needs their military assistance?
On the basis that the Chinese people have won the admiration and support of the people of the world through their long-term struggle and sacrifice, the first lady's visit to the United States set off an upsurge of sympathy and support for the Chinese War of Resistance among American public opinion.
Prompting the U.S. government to immediately make a decision to provide loans and military material assistance to China, of course, this is also out of the United States' own interests.
During the Anti-Japanese War, the first lady made great efforts and contributions in the struggle of the entire Chinese nation.
Time has passed, and history has reached a new level. Maybe the era of personal dominance will never return, and maybe there will be a Chinese woman who shocked the world again in the future. I hope so.
Washington White House, Oval Office.
