20_20434 Having said this, although I also know that the current situation in southern Anhui requires a strong person. But Yang Zhen, who also felt that his tone was a little too tough, hesitated for a moment and softened his tone slightly: "We don't have time to fight each other, time is victory, and it is the lives of more than 10,000 cadres and soldiers in southern Anhui." As commanders, we have no right to let the blood of our fighters be shed in vain. ”

"All departments should work out a detailed plan according to the tasks of moving north in accordance with the requirements of the military department. The specific task should be implemented by the person, and if there is a problem in that link, that person will be responsible. There was a problem in that department, and I want to hold the head of that department accountable. The military discipline punishment of the military discipline punishment, and the party discipline punishment of the party discipline punishment. ”

"Also, all the non-combatants who must remain are evenly distributed among the detachments. At the same time, the original establishment of the military headquarters and various detachments was disrupted, and two columns were formed. Except for the old regiment, which was left under the direct command of the military headquarters, the rest of the troops were all organized into two columns. ”

"After the withdrawal of the military headquarters, three to five companies of troops from each regiment and a group of veterans who had experienced the test of three years of guerrilla warfare were transferred from each regiment to persist in the struggle on the spot after the main force withdrew northward in southern Anhui. At the same time, fifteen local cadres who were familiar with the shape of southern Anhui were left behind to cooperate with the left-behind troops to insist. ”

Yang Zhen's words fell, and the heads of various departments of the military department, as well as the commanders and political commissars of several detachments, also heard the meaning of his words clearly. Looking at the expressions on the faces of everyone present after listening to his words, Yang Zhen only said a few words for the military commander to say, and then closed his mouth. He thinks he's had said enough today.

In fact, Yang Zhen has always thought that he is really not suitable to be a member of the political committee. If he hadn't thought that the army commander in front of him, dressed in a straight lieutenant general's uniform, had enough talent to lead the troops out of the predicament, he would not have asked for hardships to become the political commissar who coordinated the whole army.

You must know that everyone here pulls out one at random, and his qualifications are much deeper than that of him, a cadre during the Anti-Japanese War. It's just that he has been a military commander for too long, and he is used to it in the Northeast. Although the tone and attitude have been deliberately changed, as soon as this word is said too much, it will be revealed again.

But Yang Zhen's attitude is one thing, age and seniority are one thing, but the order of the central government is another. With the order of the central government, even if others were dissatisfied, or because of seniority, they despised Yang Zhen a little, but they could only obey the order.

It's just that what Yang Zhen didn't expect was that the military commander, who really had real power after he arrived, stopped the topic when he heard his idea of asking him to say a few words, and only said that he would resolutely obey the orders of the central government and that all departments should immediately implement them according to the requirements of the political commissar.

Yang Zhen frowned slightly from the military commander after speaking, and suddenly thought that his somewhat overly strong style would make this big brother who was about to catch up with his old age, and worried that his promise would become empty. However, Yang Zhen didn't care about the military commander's suspicions, because he knew that he still had time.

Yang Zhen knew that this extremely capable, brave and combative commander had limited ability since he arrived in the New Fourth Army. And due to some special reasons, the space left for him to show his abilities is also quite limited. If his predecessor hadn't been too restrained, and given this army commander the opportunity to give full play, the shape of southern Anhui would not have deteriorated to such an extent.

Maybe in later generations, he has a full understanding of the captain's bumpy experience, or maybe out of the feeling of heroes cherishing heroes, Yang Zhen has always appreciated the ability of this army commander subconsciously. As for the commander's attitude towards himself, he still believes in the sentence that has been popular for a long time. He believes that as long as he gives him the space to make the most of it, he should give himself a satisfactory result.

After the commander's brief, somewhat outrageous remarks, the room was a little too silent. The speeches of the heads of several departments named by Yang Zhen next were somewhat similar. Most of them only explicitly expressed their support for the decision of the Central Committee, and after obeying the orders of the political commissars, they stopped the topic.

Looking at the venue that seemed a little silent, Yang Zhen shook his head slightly but did not get angry. When his eyes swept to the military uniforms of the people present, he found that many people's ears seemed to be listening to others, but their eyes were actually fixed on their own military uniforms.

At this time, Yang Zhen held an emergency meeting because he had just arrived in southern Anhui, and he had not had time to change into the military uniform of the New Fourth Army, and was still wearing the military uniform of the Anti-Japanese Alliance. Two very different military uniforms, plus Commander Xiyi wearing the uniform of a lieutenant general. It is a small spectacle that three different military uniforms appeared in the combat meeting of an army.

Yang Zhen's military uniform, which was restructured from captured Japanese military uniforms, and the military uniforms that looked well-cut were obviously much more decent than almost all the people in the southern Anhui army who wore patches, and many cadres were still wearing military uniforms with crotch pants. Yang Zhen could see that judging from the military uniforms of the senior cadres present, the military headquarters of the New Fourth Army trapped in a small place in southern Anhui had not lived a very comfortable life.

Seeing that everyone was curious about their military uniforms, Yang Zhen put down the pen in his hand and said to the Xiyi army commander beside him with a smile: "Brother Xiyi, you see that I came here in a hurry, and I didn't even change my military uniform. I also have to trouble Brother Xiyi to prepare a few sets of military uniforms for me and my guards to change into. ”

"We are all comrades-in-arms who share life and death, although we are fighting in different regions, but we are all comrades-in-arms fighting on the same banner and fighting for a common goal. No matter what style of military uniform we wear, our ambitions are the same. Whether it is the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Army, the Eighteenth Group Army or the New Fourth Army, they are all anti-Japanese armed forces under the leadership of the party. ”

After Yang Zhen finished saying this, the chief of staff and the director of the political department beside him glanced at each other and said with a smile: "Political commissar, we all know this truth. Not to mention the Northeast Anti-Japanese Alliance, that is, the New Fourth Army and the Eighteenth Group Army, both of which fought on the battlefield in Guannei, except for the roughly same style, the rest of the military uniforms are also of different colors. ”

"The Nationalist Government only issued a small number of military uniforms, and this year it stopped issuing them at all. We don't have the conditions to make our own standard military uniforms, so we can only have enough food and clothing. Each unit will have its uniforms in whatever color they get. Of course, the red and green kind is definitely not good. ”

"All people are curious about is your cockade. Most of us were people who had experienced the Long March and three years of guerrilla warfare, and to be honest, we were not very comfortable with the cockade on our military uniforms. After all, we have been fighting a civil war with the Kuomintang for ten years, and the gap between the two sides is too deep. ”

Chief of Staff's words, Yang Zhen nodded slightly and said, "Yes, the ten-year civil war has caused us a lot to be scattered and our families to be destroyed." The psychological trauma brought about in the past ten years cannot be healed with a single sentence. But now that the nation is in danger, in order to save China, we must let go of even if there is more pain before. ”

"As for my cockade, it was designed by the Anti-Union itself. The Anti-Japanese Federation was alone on the battlefield outside the Guan, and claimed that the system had little contact with the battlefield inside the Guan. The military uniforms on the body can naturally be designed and manufactured by ourselves according to the nature of our troops. However, on the battlefield in Kannai, no matter what the current shape is, the anti-Japanese national united front must not be destroyed. So, even if we are reluctant in our hearts, at least this military uniform will be worn for the time being. ”

"The military uniform is only an external embodiment, and the nature of a unit is not simply determined by a military uniform. Although we have changed into the military uniform of the Nationalist Government, have we not changed the nature of our troops? I wanted to develop anti-Japanese guerrilla warfare on my own, and there was no necessary connection with the military uniform on my body. ”

"This military uniform and this cockade just prove to outsiders that we Chinese will let go of all grievances and grievances in order to resist Japan and save the country." All of China's armed forces are a whole in the face of foreign enemies. Brotherly rivalry does not mean that we will compromise in the face of foreign enemies. ”

After that, Yang Zhen felt that he had said enough: "All departments should hurry up and prepare when they go back, and go directly to the commander for military preparations, and you can come to me at any time for the rest of the things." I have to discuss some things with the commander alone, and that's the end of today's meeting. Three days later, I will be briefed on the preparation process of the various departments. Meeting. ”

After the meeting ended, Yang Zhen had just returned to the office that was temporarily arranged to change into the uniform of the New Fourth Army, but the commander of the Northern Expedition, who was a famous general, came to the door. Seeing the commander who also took off his usual straight lieutenant general's uniform, took off his saber, and changed into the gray uniform of the New Fourth Army, Yang Zhen put down the armed belt that was being tied to his waist, and hurriedly greeted the seat: "Commander Xiyi, why are you here?" I should visit you. ”

After Zhang Zixiong handed over the tea, Yang Zhen said with a smile: "For the name of the military commander, I have long been like thunder. At that time, the Iron Army was a famous general of the Northern Expedition and the former commander-in-chief of the Nanchang Uprising. How many old foundations of our army were developed from the Nanchang Uprising, but we have to calculate carefully to make it clear. The Chairman said that you were the first Commander-in-Chief. ”

Regarding Yang Zhen's words, the army commander shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Political commissar, the courage of the year has long been a thing of the past, and it is okay not to mention the past." I know you've been on a plane all night, and what you need most now is rest. But there are some things that I still think should be communicated to you in a timely manner. After all, you are now the decision-maker of the New Fourth Army. ”

The commander's words made Yang Zhen slightly stunned, and then reacted that this was the military commander who was a little worried about his predecessor in the face of his strength at the meeting. Thinking about what he thought, Yang Zhen hurriedly said, "Commander Xiyi, look at what you said. I am the head of the political work of the New Fourth Army, and you are the head of the military, and this is the division of labor set for us by the central authorities. Our status is equal, and there is no such thing as a supreme decision-maker. ”

"There are some things, since they have been communicated at the party committee, can you, as a military commander, make your own decisions? Your experience and ability in military struggle are far superior to mine.

"If it really doesn't work, we can negotiate a solution between us. You can rest assured that I, as a member of the political committee, will give my full support to your ideas and decisions. The past is the past, and the present is the present. I'm a person who does things, and I've always been one and two is two. ”。
