Preface ——
In May 1955, Chairman Mao mentioned at a meeting: In China's modern industry, we must not forget four people: Zhang Zhidong, who is engaged in heavy industry, Zhang Xiao, who is engaged in light industry, Lu Zuofu, who is engaged in transportation industry, and Fan Xudong, who is engaged in chemical industry.
.
The protagonist of today's story is Lu Zuofu, known as the "King of Chinese Ships".
He founded the People's Livelihood Company, developed the national shipping industry, and explored the road of industrial salvation. The outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the loss of national territory one after another were the ones who successfully commanded a great retreat recorded in the annals of history, and it was he who single-handedly saved the fate of 1.5 million people, thus changing the fate of the entire Chinese War of Resistance!
.
This article will be a little special, and will use the form of combining historical materials and novels, through the perspective of the fictional character "Lu An", to recreate the thrilling and life-and-death retreat of Yichang. (Time and events are real history)
Hope you enjoy!
It was late at night.
The ancient city of Yichang is shrouded in endless night and silent.
Located at the end of Riverside Park, this apartment is more like the calm before the storm, with a breathtaking silence.
When the classical English pendulum clock on the wall of the hall pointed to the position of twelve o'clock, a dull "bell ~" instantly broke the boundless silence.
The lights in the study on the north side of the second floor were finally extinguished, and a tired footstep came from far and near; It wasn't until the long, slender figure came into view that my hanging heart really let go.
Flames burn for days, and the country is destroyed; Long nights are destined to be difficult to sleep.
After thinking about it, I still hardened my scalp and said, "Sir, it's late at night, let's go and rest first..."
"Luan!" A hoarse, low voice interrupted me.
I looked up, but I saw a pair of tired eyes covered with blood, full of deep concern: "Is there any news over there in Wuhan?" ”
Wuhan, a city in danger; How I had to open my mouth could ease my husband's worries.
"Mr. Hui, at eight o'clock in the evening, Mr. Edward sent a telegram from the battlefield in Wuhan..."
"What did you say?" Seeing that I was spitting, the gentleman asked with a furrowed brow.
"Wuhan..." I took a deep breath, but I didn't know how to hide it, so I had to say truthfully: "Wuhan is afraid that it can't be kept..."
The simple eight words exhausted all my strength, so that the voice contained trembling and crying that a boy should not have.
"Can't keep it?" The gentleman heard the words slightly, and then after a heavy sigh, he said slowly: "What should come will always come!" What we are about to face is also a fierce battle. ”
The window is blurry, and the night that covers the sky seems to want to cover up all the truth; Looking to the west side of the riverside apartment, you can see the brightly lit Yichang Wharf; The low flute sound in the middle of the night swirled over the harbor for a long time, like a mournful and solemn whimper.
"Lu An, do you remember my original intention in founding Minsheng Company?"
A cold voice came, mixed with an imperceptible sense of exhaustion; When I looked up at my husband, his gaze fell on the brightly lit dock, and the exhaustion of the past few days made his whole person seem to be much older, but between the cold and grim eyebrows, it was always the indomitable perseverance.
The dappled past, like the stars reflected in the night, just like that, the clouds saw the sun, and the clusters lit up.
"Remember! Luann always remembers! ”
Sir, do you know that the people's livelihood company you founded now is the firm reliance of 40,000 people.
Even though the land is devastated and the road is obstructed and long, who in the world does not know the Chinese ship king Lu Zuofu? Who does not know that the Minsheng Company rose in the Yangtze River and competed for supremacy among the great powers.
Sir, do you know that it is precisely your awe-inspiring spirit of blood and blood to save the nation from peril that makes me, an orphan who was originally displaced and willing to degenerate, willing to follow to this day.
1
In the twenty-seventh year of Guangxu, the Eight-Nation Alliance army burned and looted, and the Chinese people were devastated.
The empress dowager and her royal relatives could not escape all the way to the south, regardless of the more than 1,000 Manchu soldiers who were ordered to defend the imperial city; The blunt knife in front of the yellow coat, how to oppose the strong ships and cannons of the great powers; As the father of the Manchus, he fought with the soldiers to the death, and finally died at donghua gate.
The Forbidden City was destroyed, the Yuanmingyuan was destroyed, the great city of Beijing was full of mourning, and the purgatory on earth was everywhere.
Ah Niang could not bear the humiliation, and took her little sister who was not yet 3 years old and decided to throw herself into the well; Overnight, when I was only six years old and had no worries about food and clothing, I lost my country and lost my family.
When I was desperate, it was in Ruishan Academy that Lu Zuofu, the young master of the Lu family with a tall posture and a thin face, saved me and took me with him ever since. He regarded me as a younger brother and took good care of me.
After a long time, I realized that the man who I called the young master all day long was never a rich man's son; On the contrary, he was born in the desolate land of Sichuan and Chongqing, and his family was poor at an early age, but he never changed his desire to save the country, and then he taught himself.
On that day, I gave up all the past of the Manchu descendants, gave up all the glitz and smoke of the Eight Banners, and officially renamed myself "Lu An", willing to use the word An to protect my brother Lu Zuofu to be safe and sound, and I was willing to use the word An to seek the peace of my yang family and country.
It was also on that day that I did not mention the word "young master" again, and throughout my life I was called "sir".
The word sir, from beginning to end, he Lu Zuofu can afford it.
Save me from despair and depravity, teach me the talent of literacy and hyphenation, and take me to the wave of the Xinhai Revolution...
The heart of the fist, the iron bone, such a gentleman, worthy of my life to follow.
In this chaotic world, is there a place of refuge?
I once followed my husband through the Yangtze River to the bustling Shanghai Beach, but all the steamships came and went, but they all hung the flags of the nations; Japan, Britain, the United States, France, Italy, Norway, the Netherlands... Looking around, I don't see a single Chinese flag.
On the gloomy and cold dockside, I saw only sir, looking at the oncoming ships, coldly looking at the foreign flag flying on the mast, for a long time, a resolute voice sounded from the ears: we must do everything in our power to take back the right of inland navigation from the hands of the companies of various countries; Be sure to do everything in your power to drive foreign ships out of the Yangtze River!
I know that at that moment, the seeds of industry to save the country broke through the ground in Mr. Wang's heart.
Following mr. To Shanghai, it was for trade; But I didn't want to witness the "May 30 Massacre" that shocked China and foreign countries.
On May 15, 1925, the capitalists of the Shanghai Nissho Inner and Outer Cotton Factory deliberately closed the factory and stopped paying workers' wages under the pretext that they were not enough to store yarn; In the face of a large number of workers protesting, the Japanese openly opened fire, killing and injuring more than a dozen workers.
On May 30, in order to expose the Japanese for shooting and killing workers and arresting students, more than 2,000 people in Shanghai distributed anti-imperialist leaflets and gave speeches on various roads in the public concession, but they did not want the British to patrol and openly shoot and massacre the unarmed masses.
In the overwhelming reports, Mr. Sat dry all night.
Until it was light, I dared to push open the door of the study under the pretext of breakfast, and I was just about to open my mouth, but I was attracted by the four words on the wall - industry and rejuvenation.
He followed him to the south and went north for many years, watching him sacrifice his life and forget his life to devote himself to the Xinhai Revolution, and then to see that the achievements of the revolution were stolen by Yuan Thief, and the Three People's Principles eventually became empty talk, and then the devastation of China, the warlords divided the territory, and could no longer piece together a complete home country.
"Where is the road to revolution to save the country?"
This is what sir once asked me, and in this chaotic world with little road ahead, the answer I can give mr. is only a suffocating silence.
After the Sino-Japanese Sino-Japanese War, national capitalists and patriots set up factories one after another to save the country; to resist foreign economies and safeguard national interests; During the Xinhai Revolution, the upsurge of industrial salvation intensified, and coal mines, dyeing and weaving, hydropower, steel and other enterprises emerged in an endless stream, but many docks and ports were still controlled by foreign powers, and if they were not careful, the Chinese people faced the threat of blocking the coastline.
After the "May Thirtieth Massacre", my husband ordered me to pack my bags and be ready to rush to the Yangtze River Basin at any time.
However, the establishment of the Yangtze River Shipping Line was opposed by everyone; Mentors and friends, fellow believers, all scolded Mr. Confused.
Yes, even if I have a shallow knowledge, I know that Mr. This move is even more difficult.
At that time, the ports of Shanghai were controlled by the steamship companies of various countries, and it was undoubtedly a fool's dream to want to snatch a piece of meat from the mouths of the great powers; As an inland river, the upper reaches of the Yangtze River are controlled by foreign steamship companies such as british merchant Swire, Jardine, and Nissin, and although there are more than 20 Chinese steamships, they belong to more than two dozen steamship companies, almost all of which are on the verge of bankruptcy.
In the face of such a passive situation, the opening of a new steamship company, and it is a Chinese steamship company, is undoubtedly seeking its own death.
This is a game of dead chess, and it is the end of the family and the shattering of the bones.
But even so, the gentleman is also determined to break the situation and be reborn, even if the gold is scattered and he is trapped in a cage, he will not hesitate.
In order to put an end to the fragmented situation of Chinese steamship companies, Mr. Man specially founded the Minsheng Company, incorporating all the Chinese steamship companies upstream from Chongqing to Yibin, and finally forming a strong whole that rivaled foreign steamship companies.
When the Minsheng Company was founded in 1925, the foreign steamship companies that controlled shipping in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River did not look at it at all.
Until the Minsheng Company rapidly grew into a powerful force in a short period of time; Only then did the foreign forces that firmly occupied the yangtze river field suddenly wake up and take joint action in a vain attempt to kill the Minsheng Company in one fell swoop while its foothold was unstable.
In the past ten years, all kinds of vicious conspiracies and methods can no longer be summarized in two words.
Rise in the Yangtze River, compete for the mighty powers! In the difficult dilemma of national transportation, Minsheng Company has become The largest national shipping enterprise in China in only ten years, with 46 ships and nearly 4,000 employees.
And Mr. Lu Zuofu is also known as the "King of Chinese Ships" at home and abroad!
Sometimes I also think:
In his early years, he followed Mr. Zhongshan and co-created the Xinhai Revolution and the Three People's Principles, and with his prestige, the turmoil of the country can still sit back and relax, and the broken mountains and rivers can also be alone; But why do you want to ruin your family and forget your life?
It wasn't until tonight, this moment that doomed Minsheng Company to stay up all night, that I finally understood Sir!
How to ruin the family, how to fight with your life! He wants to be truly and truly the emerging cause that sprouted in the snow of China, leaving a spark of spark, even if the wind and rain are obscure, he will not let go of any land.
Ten years of life and death are vague, do not think, unforgettable!
The handsome young man of the past was already white with white sideburns and early hair, but the firm faith in his eyes was the same as always.

"Sir, where is our way out?" Autumn leaves are thick and frosty, and the cold wind that passes through the hall wakes me up from the long memories of the years.
The distant docks were still brightly lit and the ships were endless, and I knew that the ships ashore were carrying refugee orphans whose homes had been burned and poured in from all directions, heading along the Yangtze River to the rear.
Since the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression in July 1937, China has lost a large part of its territory.
In one year and three months, the northeast was occupied, Peiping fell, Shanghai was defeated, and Nanjing was slaughtered. Looking at the land of China, it is full of devastation, and now the Nationalist government has moved the capital to Chongqing and determined that Sichuan is the main rear area in wartime.
In order to preserve the lifeblood of the Chinese nation, organs, schools, factories, and enterprises in North China, East China, and Central China have moved to Sichuan, especially to Chongqing, and the withdrawal of a large number of personnel and materials has become the biggest problem in wartime transportation.
Planes are pitifully few, and the salary is useless; The train line was blown up and could not be operated normally; Road transport not only has high freight costs, few cars, and few roads can not directly into Sichuan...
Under the trade-off, the Yangtze River waterway, which was responsible for the Minsheng Company, became the most convenient route into Sichuan and the most important "golden waterway" that penetrated the front and back during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression.
Over the years, following Mr. Lu an to the north and south, my Luan's intelligence is less than one-ten-thousandth of Mr. Lu's, but in a severe and complex environment, I have trained into a heroic young man who can stand alone.
But now, the situation of the War of Resistance is critical, and countless refugees are flocking to the south by water; The originally wide Yangtze River basin is already extremely crowded; More than that, countless mechanical equipment cannot be operated, and they are temporarily hidden in Yichang City, and the situation is not optimistic.
I have the heart to save the country and save the people, but I can look around, the lives are ruined, the hunger is everywhere, the country and the mountains are buried, and the land is destroyed...
An inch of mountains and rivers and an inch of blood, I don't know, and I don't dare to think: How long will such a miserable day last?
Xu was aware of my panic, and the gentleman slowly turned around and said with a serious eyebrow:
Luann, you just asked me: Where is our way out? I'll tell you now:
"Minsheng Company has come to the present, one is not for money, the other is not for power; We want to be in this devastated land, for the 40,000 million displaced people, and for this war-torn China! As long as there is a glimmer of life in our nation and this country, we will never give up easily, and as long as there is still a breath, we will never give in. ”
"The fall of Wuhan is a foregone conclusion; And I ask you, Lu'an, if the road ahead is dangerous and life and death are unpredictable, are you willing to go on? ”
It is said that the boy has tears and does not flick, probably because I Am Luan is weaker; When he was young, the Eight-Nation Alliance invaded the Forbidden City, and his father was martyred in the sea of fire, and the sad past of Ah Niang and her little sister throwing into the well is still vividly remembered; More than thirty years have passed, and the 6-year-old boy who lost all his life overnight is now a middle-aged man who has read all the vicissitudes, I am not afraid of the guns of the ship, and I am not afraid of the smoke of war, but I am afraid of the husband who is like a father and a brother, and I am like a father and a mother.
But the country is dying, how to be home! If we can save all the people from water and fire, and if we can keep the lifeblood of China, even if I let Lu An die, I will die as well as I want!
When the sky was light, I sat down in the living room with my husband and a few main responsible persons of the minsheng company for a night.
Everyone looked solemn, as if waiting for the final judgment of fate.
It was a long night, and all the time, I seemed to be able to hear the heartbeat of panic like a drum; At every moment of collapse, I forced myself to pray secretly: ask Heaven to give us some more time, ask Heaven to give some way out to forty thousand people...
"Tick-tock-tock-tock-tock-tock-
The piercing sound of telegrams broke through the all-night calm of the Riverside Apartment.
"Sir, sir, Wuhan, Wuhan is lost..." Young Ah You took the telegram he had just received, and the whole person couldn't stop trembling, and finally cried out!
I thought: After all, it is not deep enough to involve the world, no, it is this world that is too deep and unfathomable to devour everyone's dignity and reason.
The telegraph matter was not the responsibility of Ah You, only because since last week, countless refugees have emerged along the banks of the river in Yichang, piling up countless factory machines, and in the face of sudden manpower pressure, Mr. Li has sent all the people who can take charge of the work to the dock to be responsible for evacuation and docking work.
Wuhan lost! This cruel reality has finally come.
The people present were still silent, quiet halls, with the suffocating calm before the storm.
After all, Mr. Li stood up and opened his mouth: "Notify all the employees of minsheng company, take an hour to settle their families, and at five o'clock in the morning, all gather at the dock." ”
What does the loss of Wuhan mean! I think that every employee of Minsheng Company is very clear!
It means that the Japanese army will begin a large-scale attack to the southwest along the Yangtze River, which means that Yichang, which has been known as the "throat of Sichuan and Hubei" since ancient times, will face a cruel contest between life and death, which means that the 90,000 tons of important strategic equipment stranded in Yichang City on the bank of the Yangtze River in the west of Wuhan will either cross the river or fall into the hands of the enemy.
At this critical moment of life and death, the hope that Determines China's non-annihilation is these 90,000 tons of important strategic equipment stranded in Yichang City.
This is the essence of the entire Chinese national industry, and it is also the only bit of vitality left in the whole country!
Chinese the only chance of winning, can not be destroyed, can not be lost!
And this contest of life and death, the opportunity of a thousand guns, all fell on the shoulders of the minsheng company!
This is destined to be an incomparably difficult retreat and defense battle!
3
At five o'clock in the morning, the pier is already bustling and crowded; At this time, all the employees of the Minsheng Company, who were ordered to assemble, also gathered neatly at the dock.
The more than 90,000 tons of machinery piled up in the city are covered with hundreds of acres of ground, waiting for transshipment.
At this time, the Japanese aircraft had flown to Yichang, and the large-scale combat troops had also advanced to Yichang...
In this moment of life and death, Minsheng Company can be described as the most important transportation force.
When the gentleman appeared on the dock, almost all the Chinese focused their eyes on this thin and cold-faced person.
When the crowd quieted down, I published the "Passenger Transport Relief Measures for Extraordinary Periods" that my husband stayed up late to sort out:
All passengers boarded the ship and went south in order of first-come, first-served; Please believe that Minsheng Company will not give up on anyone!
From now on, the sale of sleeping tickets will be suspended, and the ticket price will be reduced to 6 yuan; When the country is in trouble, the people of the country should unite and forge ahead, and must not be chaotic;
From now on, Minsheng Company will transport 90,000 tons of industrial equipment, which is the lifeblood of the country and the foundation of the nation; Dock porters are in urgent need, the wages are doubled, and if there is anyone who can help, thank you!
This day is October 24, 1938!
It is also a gray morning, but it is enough to make all the people of Yichang City and all the employees of the people's livelihood remember for life!
At 8:00 a.m., with the help of countless people, the first steamship full of supplies and personnel, the "Minquan", set sail south from Yichang.
There were also hundreds of orphans and refugee children on board, and the children sang happily to the low whistle, and the riotous crowd slowly quieted down when they heard this heavenly pure song.
At that moment, time seemed to be deliberately frozen, completing a prosperous chapter of Guotai Min'an.
However, this is just the beginning...
As the secretary of the retinue, I know too well what kind of pressure Lu Zuofu, who is known as the king of Chinese ships, is facing.
As early as the eve of the Yichang evacuation, he had called Chongqing that only by concentrating all the ships on the Yangtze River could the 90,000 tons of heavy industrial equipment and refugees piled up in Yichang be cleared by the end of November.
"What if I can't finish it?" At that moment, I had some regrets and fears about the sentence I asked.
It's not that I don't have confidence in my husband, it's just that Yichang at this time, unless heaven comes to help.
It is now late Autumn in October, and there are still about 40 days of neutral water in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, and the larger ships can still sail, after which it is a long dry period, and large equipment cannot enter the river at all.
He said: It is necessary to concentrate all the ships in the Yangtze River Basin to transport the goods and refugees to the rear.
But at this time, in addition to the Minsheng Company, there were no reinforcements in the Yangtze River Basin; Minsheng Company only has 22 ships and 2 external ships, and the carrying capacity of a single ship is only about 300 tons.
If you calculate according to the usual situation, even if you work overtime day and night, the 90,000 tons of machinery and a steady stream of refugees will take nearly a year to completely transport away.
Today, we only have 40 days left...
"The order of the chairman of the committee is: If it cannot be completed, the ship should be dug in the river to prevent the Japanese army from taking advantage of the south of the river!"
Hearing my husband's answer, I only felt five thunderbolts, and my sanity was no longer out of control:
"What a ship sinks the river!" Was he a ship of Aya silk? What is that, the last family foundation of my Yangyang China, the only weapon to compete with the Japanese Army's iron horse to the end, and the lifeblood of the national industry supported by the ruin of my Sons and Daughters of China and the blood flow of the head! ”
The words that have been hidden in the heart for a long time finally have the opportunity to vent; But after the catharsis, the great silence once again wrapped around me tightly.
Grief, despair, struggle, tenacity, endurance... That thin face is full of complex and indescribable emotions.
When I looked at my husband again, I realized that this brother, who was born in 1983 and was only two years older than me, had sideburns and eyebrows that could not be hidden.
The spirited young man of the past, the young man with lofty ideals who was determined to save the country and the country, and whose hearts were splendid and mighty mountains and rivers, in these years of flames and smoke and the difficulties of the family and the country, they were already full of dust and sideburns.
"Lu An, you can rest assured, even if I give up my life, I Lu Zuofu will never do that self-destructive national lifeline!"
This is a solemn promise from Sir, and I am convinced by Luan!

After the fall of Wuhan, the important town of central China, the tide of retreat reached its peak again!
At this time, Yichang City, which has a population of only 100,000, is surrounded by a steady stream of refugees, and the number of people stranded at the dock is even as high as 30,000.
What is even more urgent is that the 33rd Group Army led by General Zhang Zizhong is blocking the Japanese army on the Hanshui Defense Line, and hundreds of thousands of troops and equipment reinforced from Sichuan are also eager to pass through the Yangtze River route and rush to the battlefield.
This is an imminent test of life and death, but also a transportation defense war that challenges the limits.
In order to evacuate the refugees and important industrial machinery stranded in Yichang as soon as possible, Mr. Li specially formulated a strict handover plan:
When the ship has not yet arrived at the dock, all hatch covers and window doors must be opened; All crane long arms on the dock should also be raised, and all equipment should be directly mounted on the barge;
As long as the ship drops anchor, the barge must be towed to the side of the ship on time; A team of every number or dozens of people on the shore, responsible for machine handling...
Day and night, Yichang Wharf must be brightly lit, 2,000 stevedores must work non-stop...
Must, must! Yes, only this irrefutable imperative can win the slightest chance of victory for the situation of The War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression for China!
In November, the Japanese Kou again clamored, stepping up their capture of Hunan and Hubei, and carrying out a frenzied bombardment of Yichang, thus cutting off the back road of the Chinese.
They felt with all their hearts: the northeast was occupied, the north china was lost, the city of Beiping was destroyed, Tianjin fell, Shanghai was lost, Nanjing was slaughtered... China will yield, it will compromise, it will stagnate, it will bow down.
But they were wrong, downright wrong!
The wind knows the grass, and the fire knows the real gold! Nanjing fell and Chongqing, Chongqing retreated and Yan'an, and the northwest, and central China, and the vast hinterland of China, and there are thousands of Chinese sons and daughters who refuse to bow their heads, and the more they are in the moment of national peril, the more they can arouse the unyielding faith in people's hearts.
The voyage from Yichang to Chongqing is nearly 1,000 kilometers! There are hundreds of shoals and so on!
Even if enemy planes bomb the Gorge River route uninterruptedly every day, even if the news of the loss of the Minsheng Company's fleet comes every day: the steamships and wooden ships are blown up; Company employees give their lives...
But Chinese will never back down, minsheng steamship company will never back down, and he Lu Zuofu will never back down.
When the ship was destroyed, we used wooden boats; The crane was blown up and we carried it with our bare hands... Even if we exhaust every soldier and soldier, soldier and wood, we must still keep the industrial lifeline that carries the painstaking efforts of countless Chinese people.
40 days of non-stop rushing, 40 days of continuous bombardment; When the dry period arrived in December, the mountains of goods in Yichang City were finally transported away, and this arduous and remarkable battle was finally won by us.
On this day, it is as if the tight strings have finally been relaxed; The seven-foot boy with the iron bone, the legendary figure who couldn't sleep day and night and protected the national industry with his own strength, and the helmsman of the Minsheng Company who had always endured coldness but made thousands of people trust and rely on, at this time, he was crying like a child in the study.
On the tear-drenched document, there was a long list.
Above are names that I am all too familiar with: I have risen and fallen with them, I have spoken to them about wine, I have spoken to them, but I have never lived and died with them...
116 people, one is not bad, that is, the company employees who were killed in the Japanese air raid during the Yichang retreat.
There is also the young Ayou, the Ayou who trembled when he heard "Wuhan lost", the Ayou who was blown to the point of blurring flesh and blood; He was just a child, but he still guarded the box of medical supplies that were urgently needed on the battlefield ahead until he died...
We won a victory in a frenzied air raid;
But how many people have gone forward and sacrificed their lives to forget death, but they have not exchanged a stable homeland in their lifetime!
The matter of the Great Retreat in Yichang was reported by countless newspapers.
In a stack of newspapers, I learned that this difficult retreat had saved the lives of 1.5 million Chinese; They have displaced refugees, patriots who urgently need to enter Sichuan and engage in industrial construction, and countless teachers and students, including Fudan University, Central University, Jinling University, Wuhan University, Shandong University, Aviation Mechanical School, Central Army School, National Drama School and dozens of colleges and universities.
And Mr. Minsheng led the staff of Minsheng Company to rush out the industrial equipment, and even saved the national industries such as Shanghai Steel Factory, Daxin Iron and Steel Factory, Zhou Hengshun Machine Factory, Tianyuan Electrochemical Factory, Xinmin Machinery Factory; Arsenal equipment alone can build 300,000 grenades, 70,000 mortar shells, 6,000 aircraft bombs, and more than 200,000 pickaxes!
Until the fall of Yichang in 1940, the number of materials rushed into Sichuan had already exceeded 1.99 million tons.
Yes, the victory of the Yichang Great Retreat is only the end of a fragment, it cannot end the whole situation; However, the insistence of Yugong moving mountains and shaking trees by ephemera, which seem meaningless to the West, has opened up a way for the Chinese nation to live with its bare hands.
How about the ruins of the broken wall, how about the scorched earth...
When Yichang City was destroyed, a number of modern steel factories, arsenals and textile factories had already been established in the rear area of Sichuan and Chongqing!
Mushrooms, hope everywhere!
Suddenly, I remembered what my husband had said:
"Luann, you remember: there is a way Chinese. The capital fell, we moved the capital to the west, the industrial city fell, we braved the rain of bullets to transport the factory machinery away, the classrooms were blown up, we studied in the caves, the coastline was completely blocked, and we had to dig a bloody road with our hands... Even if the last soldier and pawn are exhausted, one soldier and one wood, it is better to die in defeat than to give in and die. ”
After decades of following Mr. Sir, I have only now truly understood Mr. Sir!
The iron bones of Zheng Zheng, who are indomitable, and the unrepentant spirit that are scattered in thousands of gold, are all the protection and love for Yang Yang China.
If a country lives and dies by profit, it is better to avoid it because of misfortune and happiness.
Such a gentleman is worth following all my life!
