Small sequence
After the Wuhan epidemic was isolated and banned, I wanted to come to a "retaliatory" self-driving tour. So, April 17-18, 2020, set off with great interest.
Not wanting to be "blocked" by SD all the way, I made a circle on the highway and came back in ashes. See link: 29 Jews' cold humor and the first road trip after the Wuhan epidemic was unsealed
Back at home, although he beautified the "obstruction" into the three warnings of the Lord of Heaven, he secretly cursed in his heart: "Not to mention that SD, that is, the Jade Emperor Lao Er warned 100 times, and he will also go!".
No, the next weekend, April 25-26, 2020, driving the "treasure donkey" set off again.
Huangmei "mud bodhisattva crossed the river", still unable to protect itself, the temple continued to close. Therefore, huangmei was replaced by red an, and the worship of false gods was changed to worship of the true god, the red general.
Hong'an is a well-known general county in China, and it is also a "president county"! Among the successive presidents of the People's Republic of China, two are from Xiao Xiaohong'an, they are Li Xiannian (Zheng) and Dong Biwu (deputy).

Departing from Hanyang in the morning, it took less than two hours to reach Hong'an.
The tourist signs seen along the way were interesting. On the highway, signs marking the former residences of the President and Admirals of the People's Republic of China are marked. On provincial roads and county roads, signs appear for the former residences of lieutenant generals and major generals.
Anyway, the generals mentioned in the road signs went a lot, and they could only "casually" say a few that they knew.
Han Xianchu (founding general) and Hainan Island

Figure 1 General Han Xianchu
Originally, Han Xianchu was made a lieutenant general. The list reached Grandpa Mao," and the old man waved a big stroke of his pen: admiral, and said six words, "Han Yougong, Zhongjin Shang."
What's the work? Liberation of Hainan Island.
Without Han Xianchu, Hainan Island would be the second Taiwan today.
In 1950, the task of liberating Hainan Island was entrusted to the 40th army and the 43rd army of the People's Liberation Army. Han Xianchu served as the commander of the 40th Army, and the commander of the 43rd Army was Li Zuopeng.
Due to the defeat in the Battle of Kinmen, the Central Military Commission was particularly cautious about the liberation of Hainan Island, and most of the leaders suggested postponing it for a year to prepare for another battle.
Han Xianchu resolutely opposed, demanded that the Hainan Campaign be started before the "Gu Rain", and "threatened": if the 43rd Army was not ready, the 40th Army would "go it alone".
Why before the "valley rain"? Because before the "valley rain", the ocean current flowed to Hainan Island, you know, the People's Liberation Army at that time only had man-made wooden boats.
Long story short. Finally, Han Xianchu persuaded the Central Military Commission to launch the Hainan Island Campaign.
On May 1, 1950, the whole island of Hainan Island was liberated.
On June 27, 1950, the U.S. Seventh Fleet entered the Taiwan Strait. The liberation of Taiwan was forced to be shelved.
On October 25, 1950, the Chinese Volunteer Army sent troops to Korea to begin the "War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea."
It is said that General Han shouted four words before his death: Taiwan, Taiwan.
Wang Shi Nan ding Taiwan Day, the national festival did not forget to tell Han Weng!
Wang Jinshan (founding lieutenant general) and the Japanese officer observation group

Figure 2 General Wang Jinshan
A few years ago, the TV series "Bright Sword" was a mess. The prototype closest to the protagonist Li Yunlong is Wang Jinshan, nicknamed "Wang Crazy".
In "Bright Sword", Li Yunlong led a battalion of troops to ambush the Japanese observation group, killing many senior officers including the Japanese major general. The prototype of this battle was taken from the ambush battle of HanLuo Village commanded by Wang Jinshan.
At that time, Wang Jinshan was the commander of the 16th Regiment of the 386th Brigade of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army, and was ordered to return from the front to the Central Committee of the Yan'an Defense Party.
Passing by the village of Han Luo in the east of Linfen City, "by the way" fought an ambush battle. Only afterwards did I know that this was the "Japanese Officer Observation Group" personally organized by Okamura Ningji, commander-in-chief of the Japanese army in North China.
The battle annihilated more than 180 Japanese officers, including a major general brigade commander and 6 Daisa wing commanders, burned 13 enemy military vehicles, and captured a large number of military supplies and ammunition.
It was still this General Wang Jinshan, and his later love life was ups and downs and suffered. Fortunately, under the care of Deng Xiaoping, he died a good death.
Qin Jiwei (founding lieutenant general) and Shangganling
A native of Qinluozhuang, Qiliping Town, Hong'an County, Hubei Province
Figure 3 General Qin Jiwei
Qin Jiwei was the commander of the 15th Army. The 15th Army belonged to the Ninth Column of the Central Plains Field Army of Liu Deng's army, which was developed by the armed forces of some parts of the Taihang Military Region during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, and was born in a typical "TuBa Road". In February 1949, it was reorganized into the 15th Army.
In March 1951, the 15th Army joined the Chinese Volunteer Army and entered the Korean War. In the 43-day Battle of Shangganling, the 15th Army, which was born on the "Eighth Road of Turkey", defeated the Ace Eighth Army Group Army of the US Army from "foreign" to the sky, and the Yankees began to truly realize the new Chinese forces led by Chairman Mao.
Poor American troops still can't understand why they lost the Battle of Shangganling.
Finally, Almighty God gave the answer: "That's because the volunteer army has a mysterious oriental spirit"!
It is estimated that God will regret that he cannot give such a "spirit" to the US military, if God has intestines?
When it comes to Shangganling, there is no one person: Cui Jiangong, commander of the 45th Division of the 15th Army. The Shangganling Combat Force belonged to him.
At the most critical moment of the Battle of Shangganling, Commander Qin had a conversation with Commander Cui:
Commander Qin: "There are many units like the 15th Army in China, but there is only one in Shangganling, and if you lose the Five Holy Mountains, you may not be able to come back and see me!" ”。
Master Cui: "No. 1, please rest assured, there is one company left, I will be the company commander, I will fight the remaining squad, I will be the squad leader." As long as I Cui Jiangong is there, Shangganling is still Chinese People's Volunteer Army! ”。
Later in the campaign, Commander Cui was really about to become a "squad leader", so much so that commander Qin issued orders to the military organs and direct subordinate units:
"Mother-in-law dolls together"!
The most unexpected episode was that in the "Mother-in-Law Doll", there was the mother of my college classmate!
Here's how it went.
On the way to the car, take time to report the itinerary in the classmate group, and soon the classmate left a message in the WeChat group, and the screenshot is as follows:
Figure 4 Qin Jiwei is mentioned in the WeChat text
A few hours later, the classmate replied on WeChat:
Figure 5 Classmate message
Classmates went on to tell them that in the 1970s, her mother also went to see Master Cui Jiangong:
Figure 6 Classmate message
Here, I had to "offend" my old classmates, and without authorization, I showed another heroic posture of participating in the Volunteer Army to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea!
Figure 7 Classmate Ling Zun
One of the "mother-in-law dolls" in the mouths of classmates Ling Zun and Qin Junchang, he lived in Wuhan before his death.
In the Battle of Shangganling, the 15th Army became an ace army on an "equal footing" with those "Red Army" troops. After returning to China, it was reorganized into the only airborne army on the mainland.
As an airborne army, the 15th Army continued to write the glory of Shangganling. In the 2008 Sichuan earthquake, it was the officers and men of the 15th Army who risked death to jump to open up the connection between the disaster areas.
When the 15th Army left, a little boy held up his own sign to say goodbye: "Grow up I will be an airborne soldier!" He got his wish and is now the squad leader of Huang Jiguang of the 15th Army.

On this road, I saw many road signs for the former residences of the generals, one by one, like thunder: Wang Shusheng, Chen Xilian, Chen Zaidao, Liu Huaqing, Nie Fengzhi and so on. Of course, there are also famous but can not be named: Lin Biao, Xie Fuzhi, Jiang Tengjiao and so on.

In the morning, start climbing Mount Guifeng in Macheng.
Guifeng Mountain, as the name suggests, resembles a turtle. In fact, the turtle head is a bit like. Figure 9 shows Guifeng Mountain looking up:
Fig. 9 Looking up at Mount Guifeng
Figure 10 Looking down on Mount Guifeng
Come to the Guifeng Mountain Scenic Area, of course, not for the "turtle head", but for the sea of rhododendrons.
The scenic spot has two entrances and exits, north and south. The North Gate is suitable for the elderly and small children, with tourist buses (required) and cable cars to reach the summit. The South Gate can be driven directly to the car park and hiked to the top. I came here 10 years ago, when there was only the south entrance.
Guifeng Mountain is not high, with an altitude of 1320 meters. In less than 2 hours, climb from the parking lot to the "turtle head". refreshing.
Guishan Scenic Area has more than 100,000 acres of original ancient rhododendrons, which are rare in the country, and nature is also rare in the world, empty mouth without evidence, as evidenced by the Ji (Ki) Nice Record.
Figure 11 The Guinness Book of Records of the Wild Cuckoo
The rhododendron flowering period is divided into three stages.
Flowering period: April 15 - April 25;
Blooming period: April 25 - May 10;
Obana period: May 10 to May 20.
The blooming season is at its most beautiful.
The last time I came to encounter the "tail flowering period", this time I came to encounter the "flowering period". Next time you come, be sure to be in the "blooming period".
Fig. 12 During the flowering period (April 26th), only one-third of the flowers bloom
There are four circles in the flower viewing route, like the "string sugar gourd" connected back and forth, starting from the "turtle head" as the first circle. The most noteworthy is the second circle: a sea of flowers in a sea of flowers (see Figure 12). All four circles are on the ridge beam, and the flowers are not tired.
Figure 13 Map of Cuckoo Viewing at Guifeng Mountain
Although it has not yet bloomed, the cuckoo is still full of eyes and beautiful
But the emotion at this moment is completely outside the sea of flowers.
I wonder why the tens of thousands of Red Army soldiers who went out from here climbed snowy mountains, crossed meadows, threw their heads, spilled their blood, crossed the Yangtze River, and fought in Korea? Not formally, so that people can be as simple, peaceful, safe and happy as today, enjoy the food and clothing life and come to see the sea of flowers!
How relieved these predecessors were to see the scene in front of them!
Where are they?
"When the cuckoos are in full bloom, they all laugh in the bushes."
