Yang Zhen, who didn't know the exact answer to Gao Yumin's question, could only smile bitterly: "When will the political commissar come back, don't ask me, I don't know. The political commissar is not here, since his daily work was first represented by you, the director of the political department, then you should continue to act for now. ”

"You will first decide on the final deployment of political cadres at all levels. As for the troops airlifted over from Kannai, only one battalion has arrived now. The rest is still on the way, and I don't know how long it will take when we get together. Our air transport capacity is too poor, and we can only air transport one company at a time. Don't assign this battalion yet. All of them are arranged to be trained in the teaching group. ”

"The troops in the Guannai have rich combat experience and many veterans, and many cadres at all levels are from the old Red Army. It's just a lack of experience in frontal movement warfare that we commonly use. These people are well cultivated, and they are all good seedlings. It's a bit of a pity to use it directly as a field unit. In my opinion, all the troops that come by air in the customs area should be trained according to the squad leader, and the squad and platoon leader should be trained according to the standards of the company and platoon commander. ”

"Yan'an Airport is small, and we have a small number of transport planes. This kind of full-line air transportation takes too long to go back and forth. Not only is the shipping slow, we can't afford to consume it. And it's not safe to transport so many people over long distances. After careful consideration, I asked the central government to change the current mode of transportation. ”

"After consulting with the Central Committee and with the consent of Jiangbei, we rented one hundred and twenty Soviet civil airliners and military transport planes at one time. In the future, our transport planes will be used to airlift the troops from Guannai to the Soviet field airfield in Dharamzadagad in Outer Mongolia, and the rest will be transferred to Ulan-Ude by Soviet transport planes. ”

"After all the personnel arrived in Ulan-Ude, they were transported directly to Birakan by train and then transferred to Luobei by land through Guò. In this way, all the troops transferred from the pass will be in place within a month. Compared with the original simple air freight, it saves at least half of the time. ”

Speaking of this, Yang Zhen said in a somewhat heavy tone: "The scale of this Japanese army dispatch is unprecedented, and the pressure I have to face is also unprecedented. I hope that everyone can make preparations in the shortest possible time to ensure the smooth progress of this campaign. Remember, this is an existential battle. ”

After the meeting ended, Yang Zhen wanted to leave Guo Bingxun behind and study the battle plan, but Guo Bingxun smiled and waved his hand, pointed to Chen Bo on the side, and said, "Commander, Minister Chen has a surprise for you." You'd better solve his problem for the time being, and as for our affairs, we'll talk about it later. ”

Looking at Guo Bingxun's back, Yang Zhen scratched his head suspiciously, but he didn't think of any surprises that Chen Bo could give him? It wasn't until Chen Bo finished talking to him about what the surprise was for him that he remembered some of the personal matters he had entrusted Chen Bo with before he was injured. It's just that this person came, whether he saw it or not, Yang Zhen was a little hesitant.

Seeing Yang Zhen's rare expression, Chen Bo, who didn't know the inside story, thought that the commander was stupid with joy after knowing that he was about to see his relatives who had been separated for nearly ten years.

Chen Bo rubbed his hands and said, "No. 1, the Puppet Manchurian Kaiyuan Police Station is very strict with your family, and has been secretly surveilling. If we hadn't taken advantage of the loopholes before the Fourth Division's deployment and asked Kitano Takatsu to find an opportunity to directly send someone to pick up your family in the name of eliminating bandits and spies, I'm afraid it would have taken a lot of effort. ”

"After your family picked it up, we went through a careful review and can now determine that there are no problems with your family. It's just that I was interrogated by the Japanese puppet gendarmes several times along the way, and I was a little frightened, especially when I crossed the Japanese blockade line, your mother suffered some cold. But now there is no major problem with the body.

"I have already reported this matter to the Chief of Staff and Director Gao. With the approval of Director Gao, your family will be placed in the guest house of the Xingshan Street Military Region. I have also taken your younger brother out of the teaching group and accompanied your family to ease some of your family's nervousness. You can rest assured that the chief of staff specially approved him for a month's leave, and as for the homework he pulled down, the chief of staff also took time to help him make up for it. ”

"In order to ensure the safety of your family, the chief of staff has also specially transferred a squad from the military district guard regiment to protect it, and there is absolutely no problem with safety. Are you going to meet them now? ”

After hesitating for a long time, Yang Zhen gritted his teeth and said, "You take us to meet them." But don't alarm the other leaders. There is also the need to remove the guard squad and leave two guards. Tell them not to bring guns, my parents are old and a little sensitive to that. Also, you send someone to Luobei to find a place for my family to live. My parents were both teachers and watched them get a job. ”

Yang Zhen, who was determined to meet his family, explained to Chen Bo and walked out. It's just that when he walked to the door of the conference room, when he saw the Giss 101 special car given to him by the Soviet Union parked outside his office, his brows couldn't help frowning again, and he said to the driver: "Why did you drive this car again?" Didn't I tell me that I wouldn't sit in this car? Sue sù little tiger, bring my horse over. ”

Looking at the startled driver, Chen Bo hurriedly explained: "No. 1, don't blame him. This decision was made by the Northeast Bureau, and he can't call the shots. Also, on your way back, the commander-in-chief called the chief of staff and Director Gao to tell you that you were not allowed to ride a horse for a year. As for a year later, it will be up to you to see how well you recover. Before you returned, the Northeast Bureau had already sent someone to take your horse away. ”

"The commander-in-chief asked me to convey to you that this is not only the decision of the office meeting of the secretary of the Northeast Bureau, but also the decision of the Central Committee. The requirements must be carried out. I'm afraid you don't believe it, but the commander-in-chief also forwarded this telegram from the Central Committee. There is also this telegram from the central government, signed by the chairman. In other words, the order was signed by the chairman himself. ”

"One, the central government is concerned about your safety. After knowing that you were injured in an attack, I was always worried about your body. After receiving the report from the commander-in-chief, Jiangbei gave you a bulletproof car, and the central government called back as soon as possible and agreed to leave this car for you to use. He also specially told the Northeast Bureau to watch you and not allow you to send this car to the central government. ”

"Originally, the commander-in-chief asked for his own car for you to use, and he changed it to a Japanese-made car that we captured in Jiamusi. It was only after receiving the bulletproof car from the Soviet side that he withdrew his decision. ”

"One, the commander-in-chief knows you very well, and knows that with your character, I am afraid that I will not use this car. Therefore, after you returned to China, you sent a telegram to the chief of staff and the senior director to supervise your use. He also repeatedly emphasized that if he saw you riding a horse again, he would punish the chief of staff and the senior director. ”

Hearing Chen Bo's words, Yang Zhen could only shake his head and smile bitterly. Chen Bo was right, the commander-in-chief knew his character too well, and knew that he would never use this car, so he specially sent this telegram. He even reported the matter to the Central Committee and asked the leader to call him in person to convince him.

It's just that since Yang Zhen has made up his mind not to use this car, he will definitely not change. However, he still has to obey the decisions of the commander-in-chief and the central government, and he has to find a way to work around. After hesitating for a moment, Yang Zhen turned to the driver and said, "I can't sit in this car." You go to the Chief of Staff and bring a Gas-M or a Japanese-style car from the garage. ”

After explaining to the driver, Yang Zhen waved his hand to stop Chen Bo's move to persuade and said: "Lao Chen, I am here to resist Japan, not to enjoy." Moreover, now that the central leaders are still riding horses, I can't go beyond them. I obeyed the decisions of the Central Committee and the Northeast Bureau, but I couldn't sit in this car. You have this car sent to Luobei and prepared to be airlifted to Yan'an. ”

Hearing that Yang Zhen was about to transfer this car to Yan'an, Chen Bo shook his head and smiled bitterly: "No. 1, the leader will not take this car." In the 38th year, the leaders of overseas Chinese in Nanyang gave Yan'an two Ford cars. One of the leaders was not left, one was given to Mr. Zhu, and one was given to the five elders. He didn't think he could reach the crowd in a car. ”

"And this car weighs five or six tons, so tall and big, that none of our three transport planes can fit it. You shouldn't have disassembled this car and transferred it to Yan'an, right? But it's easy to disassemble on our side, but who will assemble it over there? And the order of the Central Committee, you see? ”

Yang Zhen waved his hand: "Don't say it again, I won't use this car anyway." If it can only be transported if it is disassembled, then it can be disassembled. No one in Yan'an will assemble it, so let's send someone from here. The car was handed over to the central government, and as for the chairman's decision on how to use it, it was a matter for the central government. I changed to a gas M car, and I was already implementing the requirements of the Northeast Bureau and the Central Committee, so don't persuade me. ”

Yang Zhen didn't get into the Giss bulletproof car until the driver replaced the car with an ordinary Gas M-shaped car. At Yang Zhen's insistence, this Jiss car was finally disassembled and transported to Yan'an by two C46 transport planes and five gas cars in two separate ways, giving the central government a fait accompli.

In fact, after the car was airlifted to Yan'an, the central government could not afford to support it. Under the circumstance that the limited gasoline had to be used to ensure the use of the radio station, after the first high-end car in Yan'an was forcibly allocated to the leader by the central government, the leader only spent half a year to show it to the Soviets, and then sealed it because he felt sorry for the gasoline.

Except for the occasional reception of foreign guests, the car was mothballed until after the liberation of most parts of the country, when it was officially used as the chairman's special car until it was replaced by the latest Soviet Giss 115. Until then, the chairman had been using the Ford, which was relatively fuel-efficient and had been replaced by the Gas, which had been rationed to the boss.

However, when Stalin heard that Yang Zhen had transferred the car to the central government, not only did he not pursue it, but gave Yang Zhen two identical ordinary cars, but without bulletproof systems. After receiving two cars sent by Stalin again, Yang Zhen couldn't cry or laugh this time.

Because the last car was airlifted to Yan'an, it had already hit the central government, especially Yang Zhen, who was beaten by the leader, and in desperation, he had to throw the two cars into the warehouse. This kind of eight-cylinder engine, the fuel consumption of 100 kilometers is more than that of a truck, almost catching up with the fuel consumption of a combat car, he is really reluctant to use it.

Later, in addition to one given to the commander-in-chief, the other one that he turned around and sent to Yan'an, and replaced the classic car as the commander-in-chief's car. At this time, Yang Zhen randomly selected this gas car with no air conditioning, only warm air, rough workmanship, and poor shock absorption performance, and Yang Zhen used it until the establishment of New China.

Even when he entered Xinjiang to resist US aggression and aid Korea, and entered Xinjiang to serve as the commander of the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps, Yang Zhen was still using it. Until the end, there was no place to find spare parts, there was no way to repair the problem, and the old body was almost rotten before it was replaced by a domestic Hongqi car.

Yang Zhen was not interested in Soviet cars, but he liked an American-style jeep given to Yang Zhen by the US Military Liaison Group stationed in the Anti-Japanese Alliance. There is no longer the humble spirit that I used to have, and I left myself unceremoniously.

This truck arrived in Northeast China with more than 50,000 trucks aided by the United States after the outbreak of the Pacific War. Because of the large number, the total number is as high as more than 5,000 vehicles, and the cars that were distributed to cadres above the brigade level as special vehicles, and the gas car that was used to the extreme, accompanied Yang Zhen through the entire war.
