569, Blank Monument

At nine o'clock in the morning of July 18, 1935, the inauguration ceremony of the "Anti-Japanese Blank Monument" in Rehe Province was officially held.

It is a tall monument without an inscription, and it is said to be tall because it is the base of a square with a side length of 19 meters and a height of 31 meters. On the pedestal stands a huge open hand, 9.18 meters high, as if it were sticking out of the earth!

Before the project began, Cao Fengxiang looked for Bai Shujie to write an inscription, and Bai Shujie shook his head: "Now is not the time for an inscription, and besides, this monument does not need an inscription at all, so it is called a blank monument." ”

The inauguration ceremony was attended by the Shi Liancheng Special Operations Brigade, Zhao Meiyan and her guard platoon, Zhao Sanbao and his special battalion, all the officers and men of Zhang Yushu's Xiuyan Revenge Battalion, the commanders of the divisions of the Rehe Front Army and the Garrison Headquarters, officials at or above the department level of the Rehe Provincial Government, and tens of thousands of people.

"Dear fathers, fellow villagers, dear comrades-in-arms, ladies and gentlemen, we are gathering here today not to celebrate the erection of this big stone behind me, but to commemorate those comrades-in-arms who have fallen for the sake of national independence and freedom! They never dreamed that a 31.918-meter stone would be erected in this place, and they never imagined that their name would be engraved on it forever! ”

"Why is there such a rally at this time? This is because the traitorous government in the south, represented by Chiang, signed an even more traitorous "Qintu Agreement" after the "Tanggu Agreement," which lost its power and humiliated the country, and another traitorous agreement, the "Hemei Agreement," is being signed. ”

"They betrayed the country because they betrayed their ancestors, and they are traitors who belong to everyone and are condemned! We are gathered here to comfort our fallen comrades: we are still fighting! We're going to keep fighting! As long as there is a little devil on the land of China, we will go forward and fight one after another! ”

"I've heard a lot of gossip, saying that now that the national disaster is at hand, you have spent money indiscriminately and made so many white marble erected here, which is pure waste. What I want to tell you today is that all the items here have not taken a penny from the Rehe anti-Japanese ** government! ”

"This is all the pension of those comrades who shed blood and died! Because they had no relatives alive, the command decided to do it with the money! Why are there so many big stones? Because everyone who joined our army, from the first day he came in, his name was already engraved on it! ”

"Everyone, please see: this is the name of Cao Fengxiang, Gan Tong, Bai Shujie, Zhao Jinxi, Zhang Xiang, Hou Zide, Lan Caiqin, Chen Junda, Yang Zhaodi, Han Qingfen, Cheng Shijie, and Shao Jianzhang. From below them, the names of all the people of our army are on it! The other troops wrote their names on paper, no, we all engraved them on the pedestal of the monument! ”

"Because from the day our unit was formed, those involved were not prepared to live! Someone has to ask, why are some names red and some white? I would like to tell you that the red name represents the supreme glory! Because they used their blood and lives to finish a qiē for our lovely motherland! ”

"On the current monument, the red name is a total of 4,719 people! That is, in the past battles, 4719 warriors gave their young lives for their homeland! This includes Yin Mingde, Liu Zhenshan, Yang Dawang, Gadamerin, Deng Tiemei and other heroes who make the little devils scared day and night! ”

"Those of us who stand here today are with the names of these warriors because we will be together forever! Although the tall bodies of the warriors have fallen, their spirits will always be with us! Their last cry is a clarion call that constantly inspires us to forge ahead! ”

"In the sound of the trumpets condensed by the blood and lives of the warriors, we, the surviving people, have no reason to take half a step back until the last drop of blood has been shed! Before driving all the little devils out of the land of China, all of our surviving people have not fulfilled their promises, and we are sorry for those red names! ”

"Is it hard to get rid of the little devils? Is it really like what the traitor Jiang said: If you resist Japan for three days, you will lose the country? In the past ten years, our army has developed from nine people to today, not only fighting against Japan, but also killing little devils every day. ”

However, Jiang defended the world's condemnation and issued a warrant: Those who speak extravagantly about anti-Japanese will be killed! We are fighting against Japan, you come and kill and see! Jiang did not resist the Japanese, and lost the three eastern provinces four years ago! As soon as the "Tanggu Agreement" was signed, Manmeng lost it again! The "Qin-Tu Agreement" is more thorough, and North China has been sold again! ”

"Dear comrades-in-arms, not long ago, I got the news that our Governor Cao and Commander Gan, the heads of the two of them are more valuable, and the little devil bid six hundred oceans to buy them. The head of my Bai someone, Deputy Commander Zhao, and Commander Yang and Commander Zhao of the Anti-Japanese Coalition Army are worth 500 oceans. As for you, the division commanders, it is even less valuable, only three hundred oceans! ”

"So, I'm not worried that someone will come to me for five hundred oceans and ask for a head. The little devil is really picky, and it's also worthless! If you calculate carefully, there are at least hundreds of little devil dogheads that you cut off. In other words, the head of a little devil is not even worth an ocean, isn't it cheap? ”

"Our old Chinese tradition, one cheap three love. Such a cheap little devil doghead, don't you take this opportunity to cut a few more and keep them, don't you think it's a loss? Therefore, I call on the commanders and fighters at all levels of the whole army to seize the opportunity to help those comrades-in-arms with red names and cut off a few more cheap dog heads, and they will definitely not suffer! ”

Bai Shujie used his witty and unscrupulous style as always to issue a mobilization order to attack the little devil at the unveiling ceremony of the blank monument.

On the night of the conference, Shi Liancheng's special operations team took advantage of the fall of night to quietly leave the hot land of Chengde and embark on an unknown road of conquest.

On the night of the next day, Zhang Yushu's Xiuyan revenge battalion opened overnight and marched in the direction of Anton and Fengcheng, opening the prelude to finding revenge on the little devils and traitors.

Because he had just received the news, Chen Jie's South Manchurian Independent Regiment had launched a half-month campaign to continue the attack in the entire Nanban. General Yang Jingyu's First Army of the Anti-Japanese Alliance took advantage of the situation, smashed three county towns in a row, and once again broke through Linjiang, and the little devils were anxious.

On the morning of the third day, Zhao Meiyan and Zhao Sanbao came to bid farewell to Bai Shujie, Zhao Jinxi and Gan Tong, and they were also going to embark on a new journey!

Master Lin Heier actually came and said to his baby goddaughter: "Girl, be careful outside!" Without the silly boy Jie'er by your side, you can't afford to make the slightest mistake. Otherwise, I, an old woman, won't be able to live. ”

The more Bai Shujie listened, the more disagreeable he became, he didn't know where to go!

Zhao Jinxi quit: "Godmother, am I hanging around your old man every day, and your old man is tired of it?" I'm also running away from home to catch up with Ming'er, see if your old man is sad or not! ”

"Huh? No nonsense! Lin Hei'er's old face was flat: "You two girls are both surnamed Zhao, which means that they were a family five hundred years ago, and now they are a family." You are the eldest sister, how can you talk nonsense casually, there are no rules! ”

"Wow, my aunt is so eccentric!" Gan Tong said beside him: "I don't even want apprentices with two daughters, where can I make sense!" ”

Lin Hei'er looked at this, then at that, both eyes squinted with a smile: "Okay, okay, all three of you are my sweethearts, give me a good treat, do you hear?" When you're done outside, remember to go home early! It's a pity that Erya, this girl is old and nobody, how nice it would be if they were all together! ”

Bai Shujie couldn't listen to it at all, and hurriedly pulled Zhao Sanbao to hide outside: "Your main task in the past is to clarify the environment around Hebei and Shanxi. Strategic reconnaissance should be very clear to you, we need to be ready for a full-scale attack by the little devils. I don't think it will take two years for the little devil to do it! ”

"For Zhao Meiyan's division, after they pass, you must assist them in training in jungle warfare and mountain warfare. Their soldiers were all gathered from the North China Plain, and they had no impression of fighting in the mountains and jungles. I estimate that we will have to deal with a lot of mountain warfare for a long time to come. ”

"Ling Kaishan sent me a telegram saying that he was doing a good job over there and had contacts with Jin Shang. Bandits and bully landlords are your main task at the moment, on the one hand, to raise funds, and on the other hand, to hoard strategic supplies. Over there in Taiyuan Arsenal, you will set up a special reconnaissance team to keep an eye on it after you go over, and you must remember this matter! ”

The three big girls began to blush as they talked around the old woman, and then they began to cry.

Bai Shujie hurriedly came over to play the round: "Master, your old man is really good, isn't Mei Yan just going out on a long trip, I think it's okay." She is now the head of a division, with six or seven thousand people under her command, are you still afraid that something will happen to her? ”

", what's the matter with you?" Lin Heier wiped a handful of old tears: "Don't say six or seven thousand, even if there are six or seven million people, that's also my daughter!" Where is there a mother who doesn't love her daughter, she has been going to the mountains and rivers for a long time, and she can't see it if she wants to, can I not be sad? It's not worrying about you shriveled calf! ”

Bai Shujie was bored to find himself, except for hehe and giggled, he had nothing to say.

At this moment, Xiao Lamei ran over and reported: "Shi Liancheng called: They have crossed the line of Fengtian Tieling, and they have now entered the end of the boundary for the first rest. The road is safe, please rest assured! ”

"The End of the Boundary?" Lin Heier asked, "Girl Tong, is it the place where you almost had an accident back then?" ”

"That's it!" Gan Tong glanced at Bai Shujie: "The situation was extremely critical at that time, if Senior Brother and Sister Jin Xi were three minutes late, your old man would not have this apprentice!" Including Qiaoyun, Cai Qin, and Erya, more than 20 of them are all gone! ”

"What are you laughing at, you?" Lin Hei'er was angry when she saw Bai Shujie: "Shi Liancheng is still a child, why did you let him run so far?" You can kill the little devil anywhere, you have to run so far. If something happens, it's hard to rush to the rescue! ”

"Master, don't worry, hasn't Chen Jie been in Nanman all the time?" Knowing that the master couldn't see children the most, Bai Shujie had no choice but to accompany the smiling face: "In order to cover Shi Liancheng and them, Chen Jie started to act half a month ago. Here I sent out Chen Dazhu and Zhang Yushu and their troops, the little devil has no energy to deal with Shi Liancheng for the time being, you can rest assured! ”

After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
