Back to the Republic of China to be a editor

While the US 24th Division sacrificed their lives to block the gun holes and slowed down the attack speed, the 2nd Army of the People's Army, which was attacking on the eastern front, was resisted steadily by a South Korean army with some combat effectiveness.The South Korean Army took advantage of the favorable terrain of the Sobaek Mountains to set up a blocking position, which slowed down the offensive speed of the People's Army on the East Road, and the plan to advance on the East Front and encircle the enemy in front was also unfeasible, which was extremely detrimental to the People's Army.

On July 7, in order to speed up the offensive, the People's Army will mobilize the 10th and 13th divisions as the reserve team to join the main attack line, and the 15th division will go to the mountains opened after occupying Cheonan-Jeonju-Suncheon-Jinju - Busan Highway.Kim Il Sung also set up a front-line headquarters, with Admiral Jin Ce as the commander, and unified command of the 6st and 1nd armies.The commander of the 2nd Army has also changed hands. Lieutenant General Jin Wuting, an old Red Army who participated in the Long March, will be the commander, hoping to speed up the advance.

In addition to the reinforcements on land, the U.S. military—now it can be called the United Nations—support from the sea is also in place. The "Valley Forge" arrived in the East China Sea. After receiving the supplies at sea, the carrier-based aircraft immediately ejected and took off. The first time it flew over Seoul, it caught a North Korean transport plane flying north. A people's army battalion commander, a staff officer and medical staff who were seriously injured on the road all died.

"There is not much time left for the North Korean team."

Chapter 46, unloading in Tianjin

Tianjin harbor.

1950 7 Month 8 Day.

In 1950, Tianjin Port was in dire straits. Tang Hua’s jeep drove into the Tianjin Port area. Except for a few wooden sailboats moored at the ugly wharf, and fishermen lifting baskets of large and small fish to shore, nothing could be seen. a ship.

Tianjin Port was bombed by the Japanese army before Japan surrendered in 1945. Before Chen Changjie was defeated in 1949, the port was bombed again. Now this port has become a dead port full of holes and sores.There is only one wharf available, which was cleared by the workers who started it in 1950 until the end of June. It can barely dock 6-ton ships.

This is the pier that Tang Hua is going to today.

When we arrived at Pier 5, a small ship had already berthed here, and the boatmen and dock workers were mooring the cables.

When the car drove to the side of the ship, Tang Hua saw the big guy tied up on the deck of the ship, which is what he wanted to watch unloading with his own eyes today.

20 tons of electroslag remelting furnace.

In 1946, Tang Hua instructed China Resources to contact the British Steel Company.After discovering that the British Steel Company was financially distressed and weak, China Resources directly took control of the British Steel Company and asked its technology research and development department to start research on the improvement of the electroslag remelting furnace. , galloping in the right direction of improvement. In 1949, the British Iron and Steel Company finally got the key technology and put it into production in 1950. The first batch of three 3-ton electroslag remelting furnaces were produced, all of which were taken away by China Resources.Taking advantage of the gap period before the establishment of the China Committee in Batumi, China Resources transported the three electroslag furnaces back to China.

Both electroslag furnace and induction furnace are branches of electric furnace steelmaking.The electroslag furnace uses the heat energy generated by the high-resistance slag to remelt the metal. It can also be equipped with a vacuum unit for vacuum refining. It has an excellent purification effect and is suitable for the production of ultra-high-purity steel and alloy steel.As long as different slags are filled in, various alloys can be precisely smelted.Cooperating with crystallizers of different shapes, the electroslag furnace can directly produce high-quality steel castings such as crankshafts, rolls, large gears, high-pressure vessels, and gun barrels.

In addition to the high quality, the electroslag furnace has another advantage: as long as there is no problem with the electric power, it can be made very large.It is not a problem for later generations of electroslag furnaces to reach 20 to [-] tons. Today's [-]-ton electroslag furnace also greatly exceeds the existing induction furnace.

The three electroslag furnaces were transported by three ships. The first one was unloaded in Shanghai, transferred to an inland river freighter, and then transported to Chongqing along the Yangtze River to prepare for the Chongqing Arsenal.The second one was unloaded in Dalian and directly let Dalian Jianxin Company take it away.The third unit was unloaded in Tianjin, and then transported by rail to Shanxi for the Taiyuan Arsenal.

After this electroslag furnace arrived in Taiyuan, the basic material problem of the Taiyuan Arsenal, which had caused Liu Nai a headache for half a year, should have been almost solved...

"Director Tang," the escorted employee of China Resources Company came up and handed the list to Tang Hua, "Here is the list of electroslag furnace equipment and spare parts, as well as a personal letter from General Manager Qin."

Tang Hua took the brochure and flipped through it. He didn't read the letter first, but went back to read it. "The personnel from the General Administration of Ordnance Industry have arrived to pick up the goods, you go to contact them."

A team of trucks coming to pick up the goods approached the pier, including 10 Dodge heavy trucks and an overweight flatbed truck from a coal mine in Hebei.Firstly, the small parts of the electroslag furnace were hoisted onto the Dodge heavy truck, and then the main body of the electric furnace, which was the largest and could not be cut, was slowly hoisted from the ship to the flatbed truck under the dispatch of more than a dozen on-site personnel, and then tied and fixed repeatedly one by one. good.

"Be careful on the road. The electric furnace is almost close to the limit width, so communicate with the railway department first," Tang Hua said, "You Director Liu is waiting for this thing in Taiyuan. If it breaks halfway, he may clean up you on the spot..."

……

Central Conservatory of Music.

This later China's highest music school is now in Tianjin.

In 1950, the Central Conservatory of Music was formally established in Tianjin. Since then, several music academies including the Music Department of Yan'an Luxun Academy of Arts, the National Academy of Music, and the Music Department of Beiping Art College have been merged into one.

In the concert hall converted from the old auditorium, the Central Conservatory of Music's music appreciation class and small concert are going on.

When Zhou Xuan stepped onto the small stage, the teachers and professors who specialized in western/classical music still remained calm and unmoved, and the young teachers and students were more excited.

Zhou Xuan bowed slightly to the audience.The accompaniment starts.Zhou Xuan brewed some feelings, then raised her head, and sang in a soft and affectionate voice:

a sky above your head,

step on the ground,

You hold your head up in the wind and rain,

The ice and snow are overwhelming.

What a big tree,

Let your wind blow,

How many stories are left in the green leaves,

There is happiness and suffering.

……

"Yeah!" Under the stage, a middle-aged man in a suit and full body clothing nodded in admiration, "It's been almost two hours since the concert, and I finally heard a song that refreshed my ears, not bad."

"This song is called "What a Big Tree". The songwriter is Tang Hua," said Lu Ji, vice president of the Central Conservatory of Music, "By the way, Zhang Lu seems to know Tang Hua."

"Yes, Dean Ma, I was in Yan'an, and I once formed a small band with Tang Hua." Zhang Lu, director of the Department of Folk Music, sat next to the two, and added, "Tang Hua is also Zhou Xuan's lover."

"What's so good about this song? I want to talk about my opinion. First, its style has been innovated. Section A has an extra 8-point rest at the end of each measure, and section B delays each measure by one beat, which makes This song is a bit like a poem recitation, maybe this is called the recitation of the song? This second section has made slight changes, which is very flexible."

Ma Sicong, the first dean of the Central Conservatory of Music, began to speak slowly about his music theory and understanding of this song.

"The second best thing is that the style of the song is soft and affectionate, but it's actually a...revolutionary song. An ode. You Yan'an Luyi wrote a lot of main theme songs? Or adapted from traditional tunes, Either it is in the style of modern Western music, but the tunes are—my words may not be accurate—murderous. Yes, revolutions are sometimes murderous, but can the music only be in this style? Is it? Do revolutionaries live in this state every day, all the time? Of course not. Therefore, this song, for you music creators of the Communist Party, needs to be learned no matter the lyrics or the tune. "

Lu Ji and Zhang Lu nodded after listening to Ma Sicong's words.

"The second song "The Same Song" was written and composed by Tang Hua, and it was sung for the first time at the foundation stone laying ceremony of the Monument to the People's Heroes when the CPPCC was established last year," Zhang Lu said.

Ma Sicong stretched out his finger and made a "quiet" gesture to the people around him, telling them not to disturb him while listening to the song.

After listening to the song, Ma Sicong nodded again, "It's really good. It also sounds fresh... These two songs, um, let me, who didn't like to comment on popular music very much before, have to comment on it."

"There is another story about this song," Lu Ji added, "Last September, Tang Hua attended the first CPPCC National Committee. Before the official meeting, the chairman proposed to be General Yang Jie, who was assassinated by the Kuomintang two days before the meeting. There was a 9-minute silence. So, on the morning of that day, Tang Hua wrote the score of this song in the venue to commemorate Yang Jie and remember all the martyrs who died for the new China."

After listening to Lu Ji's supplementary background introduction, Ma Sicong kept nodding.

On stage, after Zhou Xuan sang a song, she took the flowers, waved to the enthusiastic audience, and bowed to express her gratitude.In today's small concert, Zhou Xuan was the only celebrity who came to the stage, and the others were all unknown.

……

"Sure enough, it's Zhou Xuan with a golden voice. Now from the north to the south, Beijing, Taipei, Hong Kong, no matter the five-star red flag, the blue sky and white sun or the rice flag, her fans are everywhere."

"I used to sing sweet love songs when I was young, but when I got older, many people guessed that she should have passed away. I didn't expect her to be back to the top."

"Hey, who told her to catch a good husband? The song he wrote was a big hit, and he was a high-ranking government official."

"Her second husband is much better than the first one. I guess it's because of his fishing skills..."

From the seats behind the leaders of the academy, there was a sour conversation between two girls.Hearing such vulgar comments, Ma Sicong frowned displeased.

Zhang Lu searched on the table, grabbed a notepad, and threw it at the two girls.

"Qi Fei? Yu Man'er?" Zhang Lu said, "You two, come to my office after class."
