On August 1933, the first "August 1st" Army Day celebration was held in the south of Ruijin. In the evening, the soldiers and civilians in the Soviet area came here from all directions with torches, and the welcoming performance group composed of workers and peasants drama clubs stood at the door, singing and dancing.
Celebrations are divided into military parade and stage parade. In order to prevent enemy planes from bombing, it was decided to complete the military parade from 17: 00 to 19: 30. 17, the military parade began, military music played and salute sounded. Three leaders, Mao Zedong, Zhu De and Xiang Ying, rode horses to review the 600-meter-long Red Army queue. The officers and men of the Red Army stared at each other, and cheers and slogans resounded through the sky.
The second item is the oath. The Central Revolutionary Military Commission awarded military flags to the newly established Red Army Workers' Division and the Small International Division, and issued the battle orders to the two divisions to go to the front to kill the enemy heroically. The workers' division and the small * * * international division formed two phalanxes, and the commander raised his fist and took the oath.
The third item is the award of flags and prizes. The leaders of the Central Military Commission awarded school flags to all Red Army schools, battle flags to all Red Army teams and Red Star medals to outstanding Red Army commanders. Representatives of the central government and various political parties and organizations delivered congratulatory speeches, and the decisive battle began. The 2nd, 5th, 37th and 40th regiments of the Red Army marched through the reviewing stand under the guidance of a banner. The soldiers shouted slogans and paid attention to the heads on the reviewing stand.
The long reading team walked from the reviewing stand for more than an hour. Firm steps break through the night, crush the dust, kick open this unforgettable night, and embed the two characters "8 1" into history.
