On May 22, 1941, after more than ten days of rapid marching, Han Yunhua and others finally joined Wang Hongkun, commander of the 385th Brigade of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army, and others in Pingxiang County, southern Hebei.

This time, in order to respond to Han Yunhua and others, the 385 Brigade dispatched a full infantry regiment, and two other infantry regiments were stationed nearby in case of accidents.

To tell the truth, Wang Hongkun was very dissatisfied with the fact that the Party Central Committee directly gave the 385 Brigade a little girl as a political commissar, thinking that the Central Committee was too child's play, and he also put forward his opinions to the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army for this. However, Master Danshi Liu had already learned of the intentions of the Central Committee, so he called him to the headquarters of the 129th Division for an ideological adjustment.

He only talked about the development speed of the M-Ng Ancient Military Region in the past four years and the strength of the current M-Ng Ancient Military Region, and then analyzed the current embarrassing position of the Eighth Route Army for Wang Hongkun.

Originally, for the sake of safety, the 129th Division was ready to transfer the division headquarters guard regiment to meet Han Yunhua and others, but Wang Hongkun thought that Li Yuhan would work in the 385 Brigade after all, so the 385 Brigade must give the newly appointed political commissar a good influence, so he decided to personally lead an infantry regiment to Pingxiang County to meet Han Yunhua and others.

As soon as he saw Wang Hongkun, he was taken aback by the scene in front of him, a full thousand Jing Rui cavalry opened the way in front, followed by more than two hundred large military trucks, according to 20-30 people per car, Han Yunhua brought a full five or six thousand Jing Rui this time, the number is nothing, and now the troops of the Eighth Route Army are also developing rapidly, just take 3, although there are only more than 8,000 people in 3 infantry regiments on the surface, Danshi is actually a large and small independent regiment under the 385 Brigade, a new regiment, There are more than a dozen regiments of independent battalions and the like, and the total is probably no less than 30,000 people. Therefore, the number of five or six thousand people in the Inner M-NG Ancient Military Region is really nothing in the eyes of Wang Hongkun and others, the important thing is the quality of the weapons and equipment of this army, and the troops on the more than 20 vehicles at the head are all a strange-looking short gun, ordinary people don't know what kind of weapon it is, but Danshi Wang Hongkun knows that those soldiers are equipped with submachine guns. Then there is the regular infantry, each soldier is a temporary new 38 big cover, the military uniform is also a unified yellow and green M-color uniform, and with a dark green S- steel helmet, how powerful the Mo is as powerful as it is.

And Wang Hongkun looked at the more than 2,000 Jing Rui of the 385 Brigade behind him, and his expression was not the same as that when he was full of confidence, compared with others, the guys of different lengths in the hands of his soldiers really became burning sticks, which is really more popular than people.

Han Yunhua originally didn't Xiangdao Wang Hongkun would actually greet his convoy in Pingxiang County, you must know that Pingxiang is the territory of Gao Shuxun's 39th Group Army, and in addition, more than 40,000 people are stationed at the Jiāo boundary between Shanxi and Hebei, once the Eighth Route Army and the Japanese army have any trouble, these sixty or seventy thousand Kuomintang troops will pounce over, so in order to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings and frictions, the Party Central Committee and the Eighth Route Army Headquarters ordered, ** All the armed forces should try to avoid the territory controlled by the Kuomintang forces, and try not to clash head-on with the Kuomintang forces.

Therefore, according to Han Yunhua's prediction, the headquarters of the 129th Division and the 385th Brigade will not send troops to Pingxiang, because this will easily attract the attention of the Japanese puppet army, and it is also likely to cause new friction between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party. The 129th Division and the 385th Brigade of Danshi have sent so many troops, and the importance is self-evident.

After getting out of the car, Han Yunhua took his beloved wife to greet Wang Hongkun and others, and Wang Hongkun also took Zhang Daqian, Tang Tianji and others to greet him as soon as possible.

"Welcome Comrade Han Yunhua and Comrade Li Yuhan to our 129th Division, and I am here to greet you on behalf of Division Commander Liu and Political Commissar Deng." After seeing the strength of Han Yunhua's department, Wang Hongkun only had no pride, and he really understood the meaning of Master Liu's words, with this Bodhisattva Niangniang, it is difficult to make a fortune in the 385th Brigade.

Han Yunhua was also very happy that the 385 Brigade was here to pick them up, this act alone was enough to make Han Yunhua impressed with the 129th Division and the Wang Brigade Commander in front of him, so he also said happily: "Hehehe, thank you for the care of the old leader, hehehe, Brother Wang, don't be polite, how to say that I also went out from our 129th Division, no matter when the 129th Division is our maiden home." ”…,

"What I'm saying, what I'm talking about, let me introduce to my brother, this is Comrade Tang Tianji, the chief of staff of our 385 Brigade, the secretary of the Party Committee of the 10th Division of the Red Fourth Army, the head of the 50th Regiment, and the political commissar of the 64th Division of the 22nd Army, the political commissar of the 40th and 44th Divisions of the Red Fifth Army, the deputy director of the Political Department of the 15th Army, the director of the Political Department of the 38th and 14th Divisions and the Guangchang Garrison District, the director of the Political Department of the 5th Division of the 3rd Army Corps, and the director of the Department of Destruction of the 15th Army Corps. After arriving in northern Shaanxi, he successively served as chief of staff of the 31st Army and director of the Propaganda Department of the Western Aid Army. After the reorganization, he served as deputy director of the Democracy Movement Department of the Field Political Department of the Eighth Route Army, director of the Liaison Office of the First Theater of the Eighth Route Army, and commander of the Jinyu Border Guerrilla Detachment of the Eighth Route Army. ”

"It turned out to be Chief of Staff Tang, understand and understand, Chief of Staff Tang is an old-timer of our party and our army, Yuhan came to get to know him, Chief of Staff Tang joined the Chinese 'Communist' Youth League as early as May 1925, and became a member of the Chinese 'Communist' Party in 1926. He also participated in the Eastern Expedition and the Northern Expedition, and served as the head of the propaganda team of the General Political Department of the former enemy of the National Army, the party representative of the third battalion of the first regiment of the 36th Army, and the deputy company commander of the special service company of the military headquarters of the 20th Army. During the Nanchang Uprising, he served as the deputy chief of the Nanchang Garrison Command. After the failure of the uprising, he returned to his hometown, participated in the Shonan Rebellion, and served as the chairman of the Anren County Soviet Government. After going to Jinggangshan with the workers' and peasants' ** army led by Mr. Zhu, he participated in all the anti-"encirclement and suppression" struggles and the Long March in Jinggangshan and the Central Soviet Region. If you have any questions in the work of the 385 Brigade, you can ask Chief of Staff Tang directly, and Chief of Staff Tang can't ignore it when the time comes," Han Yunhua said with a smile.

Tang Tianji also knew Han Yunhua's current status in the minds of the top leaders of the Party Central Committee, but he didn't dare to put on his old qualifications in front of the actual controller of the million-strong army, so he said with a smile: "Don't dare to be, in front of you Commander Han, we are all new soldiers, and the things that Huangpu has learned can't compare to the development of your Commander Han in two or three years, I'm ashamed, hehehe, but Comrade Yunhua rest assured, our 385 Brigade will not treat Comrade Yuhan badly, please rest assured." ”

"Hahahaha, that's good, that's good. Yuhan is still young, and his heart is not mature, if there is anything wrong, please bear with me, hehehe" Han Yunhua said with a smile.

"Brother Yunhua, although you should be our leader according to the level, since you said it, then we are welcome, and we will be called brothers in the future, hehehe. I'm introducing you to one, Zhang Caiqian, you kid come over to me, this is Han Yunhua, the commander of the Inner M-NG Ancient Military Region, I know you."

Zhang Caiqian looked at Han Yunhua with a strange face, and then saluted and said, "Zhang Caiqian, the commander of the 770th Regiment of the 385th Brigade of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army, reported to the chief. ”

"Brother Zhang, what are you doing, do you still use this between us, don't look at Yunhua, his brain has been injured, and he can't remember many things, don't take it to heart." Li Yuhan saw that Han Yunhua indifferently accepted Zhang Caiqian's military salute, and knew that Han Yunhua didn't know this Grand Master Zhang, so he hurriedly explained.

"Yuhan, Yunhua's head can't remember anything?" Zhang Caiqian was still a little annoyed in his heart, but when Danshi saw Han Yunhua's expression and Li Yuhan's explanation, he knew that something had happened to the old friend Zhende in front of him.

Wang Hongkun said: "What's the matter, Master Zhang and Brother Yunhua know each other?" ”

Li Yuhan explained: "Brother Zhang was the company commander of the 10th Division of the Red 4th Army, and he was also the commander of the guard company of Yunhua's late father, so Brother Zhang has always taken care of Yunhua, and we can be regarded as growing up together. Later, Brother Yunhua became the guard of Deputy Chairman Zhou, and I also studied with my mother, plus the army had to fight, so we separated, and we met in a hurry when we arrived in Yan'an. Then Brother Zhang and his 770 regiment were left in the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo border area, and Yunhua followed the troops to the front line, which was the first time we met after we separated from Yan'an, and a lot of unexpected things happened in it, so now although Yunhua has met Brother Zhang, Danshi does not know him, and I ask Brother Zhang to forgive me. ”

After listening to Yuhan's words, Han Yunhua also knew who Zhang Caiqian was in front of him, although he still didn't have the slightest clue about what was going on between them, Danshi had a little image of Zhang Caiqian. Although this Zhang Caiqian is not too famous, Danshi once served as the battalion commander and regiment commander of the 279th Regiment of the 93rd Division of the 31st Army, the commander of the 10th Division of the Red 4th Army, and the chief of staff of the Army Headquarters. In 1936, he entered the Anti-Japanese Red Army University to study. After graduation, he served as the chief of the Operations Section of the Headquarters of the Red 4th Army and the commander of the 12th Division of the 4th Army of the Western Army...... After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, he served as the commander of the 770th Regiment of the 385th Brigade of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army, and led his troops to defend the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo border area in Longdong and carry out the production self-sufficiency movement. In 1944, he served as the commander of the 4th Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Detachment in Western Henan and led his troops to Henan. In February 1945, he served as the commander of the 4th Division of the Western Henan Military Region and participated in the development of the anti-Japanese base area in Western Henan. In May 1949, he served as the chief of staff of the Hubei Military Region, and after the founding of the People's Republic of China, he served as the commander of the 44th Army. After graduating from the Nanjing Military Academy in 1955, he was awarded the rank of lieutenant general by the Central Military Commission, and served as chief of staff and deputy commander of the Nanjing Military Region and deputy chief of general staff of the People's Liberation Army. From January 1980 ~ October 1982, he served as the commander of the Wuhan Military Region. He knew some of this information, but Danshi didn't know that he and the later lieutenant general of the republic were also old acquaintances, and the relationship seemed to be quite good. …,

Han Yunhua stared at Zhang Caiqian and said with a smile: "I'm really sorry Brother Zhang, I only remember what happened in the last four years now, and I forgot all the previous ones, and I ask Brother Zhang to forgive me for the rudeness." ”

"What did you kid do, there are so many injured people, how come I haven't seen a few amnesiacs, I remember when you went to the front line, Yijing was a deputy regiment commander, how can anything happen to you." Zhang Caiqian said depressedly.

Han Yunhua said with a smile: "It's also unlucky for our new regiment, not long after crossing the Yellow River, we fought an encounter with the 21st Brigade of the Fifth Division, the most sharp little devil, because we were not familiar with the Japanese army's combat methods, and our weapons and equipment at that time were too poor, so the troops suffered heavy losses, the casualties exceeded 2/3, the regiment commander and political commissar were sacrificed, and most of the battalion and company commanders were also killed, and only me and Chief of Staff Ye Baoguo were left among the cadres, and Lao Ye and I were also seriously injured, I was hit in the head by shrapnel and then hit the rock. Ye Baoguo was shot in the mouth and in the abdomen, and he almost didn't recover, and the troops were driven directly from Shanxi to Suiyuan, and then they stayed in Suiyuan, and my head has been groggy since I was injured, and I forgot many things. ”

"It's not easy for you to fight, forget it, let's go to the division headquarters first, Division Commander Liu and Political Commissar Deng and several leaders of the Eighth Route Army Headquarters are waiting for you at the division headquarters." Wang Hongkun could see that the relationship between Zhang Caiqian and Han Yunhua and others was not ordinary, so he didn't dare to talk casually like before.

Han Yunhua said: "Okay, Brother Hongkun, you let the soldiers all get on the car, you all get on the car, so that the speed is faster." ”

Although every car is full of people now, the more than 2,000 people of the Danshi 386 Brigade are not much, as long as everyone squeezes in, it is no problem. If the convoy is allowed to follow the 770th Regiment all the way forward, I am afraid that even if it takes two more days, it may not be able to reach the headquarters of the 129th Division.

Under the guidance of the 385 Brigade, the convoy walked for another two whole days, and finally on the afternoon of the 24th... rushed to Liujiayao Village, Shilipu Township, Guangping County, where the headquarters of the 129th Division was located.

Here Han Yunhua was warmly received by the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army and the 129th Division, in addition to the senior cadres of the 129th Division, even Mr. Peng rushed over from Lucheng, Shanxi, and just met Mr. Peng, he couldn't wait to ask: "Yunhua, they all said that your kid made a fortune, and the troops in your hands are almost a million, and now it seems that it really deserves its name, look at this unit, the real Jing Rui, submachine guns, 38 big covers, crooked handles, 92 types, trucks, unified uniforms and unified weapons, Hundreds of thousands of troops of the Eighth Route Army can't make up such a jingrui, I don't think you kid has made a fortune, this is obviously a big capitalist, and the landlord can't do it a little."

"Where is it, Mr. Peng has won the award, you are humble, the Eighth Route Army may not need to have much less troops in our military region now, I am afraid that the 129th Division alone will have hundreds of thousands of troops, hehehe. In addition, don't cry to me anymore, I was beaten by the "chairman" and Mr. Zhu some time ago, and the whole fifteen thousand war horses and matching cavalry equipment were swept to the end, and even the infantry regiment I sent to escort the chiefs in the end has become a r-u bun that beats dogs, and there is no news anymore. If you cry to me again, then we won't be able to live, besides, you are my old leader and old chief, you should support our military region with some supplies, how can you be embarrassed to reach out to us. "What kind of temper Mr. Peng has, how can Han Yunhua not know, if you don't plug his mouth now, I'm afraid that Han Yunhua's pocket will change in a while.

Mr. Peng scolded with a smile: "Hehehe, you h-n kid has a good mouth, I haven't said anything, but you have said a lot of reasons, but when I heard you say this, I remembered that the central government generously gave us a cavalry brigade (3,000 horses) for each of the 3 main divisions of the Eighth Route Army not long ago. But don't think about escaping this time, no matter how I say it, I'm also the deputy commander-in-chief of the Eighth Route Army, and I came all the way from that corner in Shanxi to see you. ”

Han Yunhua's head was full of waterfall sweat and came down, where and that is this. How do you say that you are like a star, and you have to pay an appearance fee, to be honest, Han Yunhua was really taken aback by Mr. Peng's words, if his old man Zhende came to open his mouth, it would not be fun.

At present, the Inner M-Ng Ancient Military Region will also have to carry out long-term construction, and the investment required both militarily and economically is huge, and most of the economic sources of the Inner M-Ng Ancient Military Region now rely on seizures, and taxes account for only a small part, if the Eighth Route Army comes to seek support again, then I am afraid that the military expansion and economic construction plan of the Inner M-Ng Ancient Military Region will be put on hold.

"Hehehe, boss, don't plan to knock on the bamboo pole of my little subordinate, so let's do it, I have a guard regiment for Yuhan this time, with an establishment of 2,500 people, including 800 special combat personnel, and the weapons and equipment are complete, I don't plan to ask for it back, I will give this regiment to the 129th Division, and this time I also brought 3,000 new guns and 5 million rounds of ammunition, which is a little bit of heart from our M-Ng Ancient Military Region to the Eighth Route Army, how about this appearance fee, Mr. Peng, you are satisfied." Han Yunhua said with a smile.

"Even if you kid has a conscience, you are qualified, hehehe" Mr. Peng said with a smile.

Master Liu obviously saw that Han Yunhua often breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had fought a big battle, so he said: "Let's not talk about this first, let's go to the village to talk first, the food is ready, in order to entertain you, the commander, I almost turned over the warehouses of the logistics department of the 129th Division, and finally put together a table to eat."
