Military dignitaries attended.

Vice-Chairman Ou of the Hengyang City Council presided over the ceremony: "Dear guests, ladies and gentlemen: Hello everyone! Today we have a grand gathering here to hold the ceremony of naming the 'Hengyang Anti-Japanese War Memorial City' and commemorating the foundation stone laying ceremony of the commemorative project. First of all, Speaker Yang Xiaolu Read the 'Hengyang Anti-Japanese War Memorial City Naming Ceremony, National Government Chairman Chiang Kai-shek's precepts'." "Chairman Yang of the Hengyang City Senate Council has received a telegram from Yu Dai. Zi issued the following precepts:

In the eight years of the Anti-Japanese War, there were more than a hundred battles and countless small battles. The Hengyang battle was particularly shocking to the whole world because of its long support, fierce sacrifice, great relationship with her husband, and great contribution.Since the 32nd year, the United Nations Navy's counterattacks in the Pacific Ocean have been victorious. In view of the obstruction of sea traffic, the Japanese plan to open up mainland traffic, hoping to pass through Beining Road, Pinghan Road, and Yuehan Road To reach Vietnam, the section of the Hengxiang Railway in the middle is still in the hands of our army; therefore, we spared no effort to commit the crime with all our strength. From February 33, we mobilized eight divisions and some special forces to attack separately.Our army is relatively poorly equipped, but its morale is strong, and it calmly faces the battle, inflicting heavy blows on the enemy everywhere. At the end of June of this year, Hengyang was surrounded by counties, which fell one after another. It lasted forty-eight days, which is a rare miracle in the world, and the expression and development of the inherent moral spirit of China is also the most remarkable.

This is the reason why the local people please designate Hengyang as the Memorial City of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression.In the past Mencius said that the benevolent is invincible, and he also said that the awe-inspiring spirit, born of collective discussion, is the greatest and the most powerful.What the Chinese nation relies on to survive and capital to prosper is not that the comparison of benevolence and righteousness has been deeply and far-reaching for thousands of years!Today, the naming ceremony will be held, and this righteousness will be held to inform the people of the country and show the coming leaves.

noon noon cold house National Government of the Republic of China (India) Issued on July 14th, 36th year of the Republic of China" "Next, Mr. Qiu Shuofu, Mayor of Hengyang City, will give a speech! Welcome!" "Distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen, On the day following the 3rd anniversary of the fall of Hengyang, Hengren held a ceremony for the naming of the Anti-Japanese War Memorial City and the foundation stone laying ceremony for the project. Recalling that 3 years ago, Heng Zhiren Zuo garrison Yingcheng defended to the death, broke his legs and cut his belly, and fought with 100,000 stubborn enemies for the size of the suburbs. It lasted for 48 days and sacrificed heroically.His spirit of loyalty and struggle is like the sun and stars in Heyue, creating a new page in the history of the country, and teaching lessons to all generations.The people of Gai Heng inherited the survivors of Chuanshan's solitary loyalty and integrity, and the cultivation of the father of Mu's revolutionaryism has a long history.

Since the surrender of the Japanese pirates, the recovery of rivers and mountains, the return of righteous people, and the reorganization of Lu Yan, the ruins are still full of bones, the ruins are ruined, and the eyes are full of green phosphorus.However, Hengren's grief is still unabated, the mission of building a country is difficult, and the status of Shensi City is important, so he strives hard to recover, sincerely pays attention to it, and reaches the center, so the head of state bestowed him with a good name, which is: "The War of Resistance Memorial City".This is not only the glory of Hengyang, but Hengyang is the general representative of the glory and victory of the whole country and nation.

We should know that the price of this glorious name is not only the blood of countless martyrs, but also its lofty and great spirit.Therefore, commemorating the construction of a famous city is not only commended in the material aspect, but also must be encouraged in the spiritual aspect. I would like to reveal the meaning of the numbers as follows: During my eight years of sacred war of resistance, I did not hesitate to sacrifice any sacrifices to strive for the final victory. Its purpose was to strive for justice and peace. , must be carried forward, as a weapon to refresh political facilities and improve social atmosphere.

A righteous person means knowing right from wrong, debating interests and detriment, not being evil and right, and knowing integrity and shame.The sacrificial person, that is, abandoning me as an adult, sacrificing the small self, and fulfilling the big self.Peace means stability.The world sings praises for peace and prays for peace, but in fact peace cannot be mere empty words, it cannot be brought about by luck: it cannot be won without an invincible force, and it cannot be maintained without an invincible force.In times of war, it consumes infinite national power to fight; after the war, we should especially fear the difficulty of obtaining it, and devote ourselves to the cultivation of national power as the guarantee of peace.The so-called strugglers are those who take risks and encounter difficulties, regardless of any difficulties, go forward bravely, and never give up.In the face of hardships and hardships after the catastrophe, we should continue this spirit, strive to move forward, seek construction from the rubble, seek production from the ruins, do not engage in emotional disputes, do not hold different opinions, and make politics clear, social stability, and prosperity in the world. Commemorating the reputation of the famous city complements each other, and the glory of the country and the nation will never be lost.This spiritual foundation should be laid in today's ceremony. Yu Shen hopes that the foundation of today's Anti-Japanese War Memorial will not only be the starting point of Hengyang's material construction, but also the beginning of Hengyang's psychological construction; I hope that this Anti-Japanese War Memorial City will not only represent the glory of our nation's victory in the Anti-Japanese War, but will also represent the entire nation-building of our country. The glory of the completion of the work, I would like to reveal this righteous period to encourage each other! " Then, after the speeches made by representatives from all walks of life at the central, provincial and municipal levels, the foundation stone laying ceremony for the construction project of the Hengyang Anti-Japanese War Memorial City was held. In April 1948, various commemorative projects of "Hengyang Anti-Japanese War Memorial City" were completed. The monument of "Hengyang Anti-Japanese War Memorial City" stands majestically in the Hengyang Defense War. The Japanese army launched the second and third general offensives. The two sides competed for the most intense commanding heights.The hero's monument and Hengyang's scenic and famous mountains complement each other. But see, from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, it is directly connected by hundreds of stone steps.There is a tea pavilion built on the mountainside, where visitors can take a rest to avoid the wind, rain and scorching sun.On the tea pavilion, there is a large stone archway for the "Anti-Japanese War"; from the archway, there are another "Ji Gong Pavilion" on the left and right, and in the center behind the pavilion is the huge stone monument of "Hengyang Anti-Japanese War Memorial City".The stele is 18 meters high, with inscriptions on the stone, and the seven characters "Hengyang Anti-Japanese War Memorial City" inscribed by Jiang Zhongzheng, chairman of the National Government, are engraved in the middle of the stele.The pedestal of the stele is in the style of Xumizuo in all directions, which means to pray for peace in all directions and never war. Behind the monument, there is a memorial hall.The inscriptions of Kuomintang military and political officials and social sages are respectively engraved on the stone tablets. There are 21 pieces in total, which are inlaid in the memorial hall. The record is as follows: Chuanshan is respectful of integrity, Confucianism and filial piety, and Lao Penggang is uncompromising. He has turned into a strong Nanqiang that can be defended in the future, and bandits in the indiscriminate period. The majestic and famous city spans nine regions.

My name is Yuan, and I will try to tell the world.
