Shandong commercial newspaper reporter Liu Jianyu correspondent Zhou Guangtao
yesterday, the memorial hall of the Ji'nan campaign was donated to a stone tablet "white fortress" in the period of the battle of Ji'nan, which came from the private collection of Deng Yang, a lover of Ji'nan cultural relics. The Ji'nan Campaign Memorial Hall received donations, and thanked Mr. Deng Yang for his support for the construction of the Ji'nan Campaign Memorial Hall.
according to the actual survey and identification, the stone tablet is made of bluestone, with a residual height of 75 cm, 45 cm wide, and 8 cm thick, weighing about 90 kg. The inscription on the right side of the tablet is well preserved, and the inscription is still legible. In the middle of the stone tablet, from right to left, the word "white fortress" is inscribed. Because of the defect on the right side of the stele, the word "white" can not be recognized before the word "white". The inscription on the left side of the tablet inscribed "the Republic of the Republic of China in April thirty-seven years".
Ji'nan Campaign Memorial staff said that the stele was inscribed in the "thirty-seven years of the Republic of China" in the 1948 ad. It was estimated that the monument was the eve of the battle of Ji'nan in that year, and the Kuomintang army should build a fortress in the "Ji'nan campaign". From the inscription, we can see that the Kuomintang army's organizational system and defense system were very complete, and engraved stone tablets were to inspire the morale of the defended troops. The time, place and content of the stele are the rare physical evidence of the "Ji'nan campaign", which is of great reference value to the study of the major historical events in the battle of Ji'nan.
reporter learned from the memorial hall of the Ji'nan campaign that in 2007, the stone monument, about 120 centimeters, 60 cm wide and about 13 centimeters thick, was unearthed in the Lang Mao Mountain Park in 2007. The "Lang Dong fort" was inscribed on the right to the left, and the right from top to bottom engraved the words "army two divisions 213 brigade 637 regiments one battalion" The left side was inscribed with "built in April thirty-seven years in the Republic of China".

carved stone tablet is the Kuomintang army inflating itself?
although the monument donated by the public is incomplete on the right side, there is no complete name, nor is it related to the number of Kuomintang military forces, but the staff in the library say that the three is consistent with the time written by the stone tablet and the time written by the "Lang Dong fortress" and "Thousand Buddhas fortress". The stone monument was made at the same time, and then according to the principle of naming and the location of the stele, the "white bastion" was probably unearthed in the Baima Mountain in Western Ji'nan, and the inscribed stone tablet may be the Kuomintang army for its own gas.
according to the introduction, before the battle of Ji'nan, Wang Yaowu, in order to stick to Ji'nan, divided the Ji'nan area into two reserve areas, from the north of the city to the west of the eight Li DIWA line in the south of the city to Changqing as the reserve area, with the army commander of the ninety-six army and Wu Huawen, the commander of the division, for the West District, with the wax mountain, Zhou Guantun, and white horse. Mountains and Qinglong mountains are the main positions. At that time, Baima Mountain was a high point in the southwest of Ji'nan. In order to prevent the attack of the people's Liberation Army, the Kuomintang army used it as an important periphery fortress to guard the city of Ji'nan.
in September 16, 1948, the East China field army launched the battle of Ji'nan. On the night of nineteen, the Wu Huawen rate of the uprising, the thirteen column of Hua Ye occupied the Ji'nan periphery enemy strongholds Baima Mountain and Ding Jiashan, and the Baima Mountain as a command post, the troops into the commercial port area.
