20_20434 Hearing the words of some concern behind the commander-in-chief, Yang Zhen shook his head and said, "Boss, don't worry about me. If I have nothing to do, I will report to the Central Committee first. As for resting, it's okay at any time. You can rest assured that I will certainly make a thorough and detailed report to the Central Committee on my work during this period, especially the details of the negotiations with the United States and the Soviet Union. ”

The commander-in-chief was about to answer Yang Zhen's words, but he saw that the car had stopped. What surprised the commander-in-chief even more was that after the car stopped, the chairman who had been informed actually went out to greet him personally.

When Yang Zhen saw that since returning to this era, the great man who had always wanted to see but never got his wish actually made an exception to go out to greet him in person, he was also shocked. hurriedly got out of the car in fear, rushed forward in a few steps, and respectfully saluted a standard military salute.

Just as the commander-in-chief was surprised by Yang Zhen's age when he saw him, the chairman was also surprised by Yang Zhen's youth after seeing Yang Zhen again. Although since the Nanchang Uprising to the present, in the more than ten years of military struggle. As the chairman and commander-in-chief of the founders of the people's army, young generals are not uncommon, and can even be said to abound.

When Mr. Lin first served as a military commander, he was only twenty-three years old. When he was promoted to the commander of the 1st Red Army, the most elite of the Central Red Army, he was only 25 years old. In the Red Army, the youngest divisional cadre was only 18 years old when he served as the divisional political commissar. Among the three main forces of the Red Army at that time, there were not a few who served as division-level cadres at the age of 10 and even army-level cadres in their twenties.

However, a person like Yang Zhen, who became the commander of a large region in his twenties, and served as the first military commander of a large army with hundreds of thousands of equipment, is now the first person to achieve great victories in a row. Although Yang Zhen's age was already known, all the personnel, including the chairman, were still surprised by Yang Zhen's youth when they met Yang Zhen.

Seeing the rarely leaked surprised expression on the chairman's face, the commander-in-chief quipped: "Chairman, are you also surprised that we still have such a young and promising general?" To tell you the truth, I was also taken aback when he first got off the plane. I thought I was dizzy with old eyes. ”

"Even if I knew his age for a long time, I still can't believe that such a little guy can pull up a well-equipped army in Beiman, where the conditions are so difficult, not to mention, but also fight a battle that we can't imagine, and achieve so great results."

Hearing the commander-in-chief's joke, the chairman laughed and said disapprehantly: "Boss, you are wrong about this." Our Commander Yang is so young, which is both expected and unexpected. To say that it is expected is to say that if the shape of the North Manchurian shì wants to open the gap, it is not enough to rely on the old man alone. ”

"It was unexpected, but I didn't expect such a young man to be so old and spicy in terms of marching deployment and combat. From last autumn's operation to this year's summer operation, there was hardly any flaw in the entire deployment and operation. It has the boldness and momentum of young people, and the weight of veterans. ”

Speaking of this, the chairman smiled at the commander-in-chief and said: "Boss, I'm afraid that the latter point is not only that we didn't think of it, but even the Japanese Emperor and Umezu Mijiro didn't think of it, right?" Otherwise, they could have suffered such a big loss at the hands of Comrade Yang Zhen in a row? The results of your battle this summer, the good guys have only wiped out a few divisions. Now, I'm afraid that the Japanese emperor will die of distress. ”

Hearing the chairman's half-ridicule and half-truthful words, the commander-in-chief laughed and looked at Yang Zhen, who was somewhat restrained after seeing the chairman, and changed the topic and said, "Chairman, shouldn't we let us in." We must not let our young and promising comrades report to us at this gate. Comrade Xiao Yang, I have already been ready. ”

Hearing this, Chairman Yan also smiled heartily and took the lead in walking back to his typical farmhouse courtyard in northern Shaanxi, which was both an office and a residence. Listening to the relaxed words of the chairman and the commander-in-chief, Yang Zhen's tension brought by the great man was somewhat relieved.

After entering the chairman's simple office and taking a seat, the chairman looked at Yang Zhen carefully, but did not say anything else. But after seeing Yang Zhen's military uniform that was a little different from when Li Yanping came to Yan'an at the beginning of the year, he talked about the topic on the military uniform and said: "Comrade Yang Zhen, the military uniform you are wearing now is not the same as at the beginning of the year?" It seems that you have made a lot of foreign money in the past six months. If the conditions were still so difficult, you would not be willing to spend such a large amount of money to change clothes. ”

Hearing the chairman's question, Yang Zhen hurriedly smiled and said: "Chairman, this cockade and collar badge were just issued by us after the capture of Harbin. Since the cockade and collar badge have not yet been fully manufactured, they are now mainly distributed to the headquarters organs first. After the headquarters organs try it on first, it will be distributed to the whole army according to the situation. ”

"As for the cockade and collar badge, we designed and manufactured it ourselves. The cockade is stamped with aluminum from the wreckage of the downed Japanese plane, and the large and four small gold stars on it represent that we are a people's army formed by workers, peasants, businessmen, and soldiers under the leadership of the party. And the pine branches around Venus represent the hard-working and perseverance of our army. ”

"Because the pine tree is extremely vigorous, it gives strength, contemplation, inspiration and courage. It has the character of vigorous, proud, proud of wind and snow, resistant to severe cold, not afraid of wind and rain, vigorous and powerful, eternal youth, courage to sacrifice and dedication. So on the decoration on the side of Venus, two pine branches were chosen as the pattern. ”

As for this collar badge, it has a three-percent meaning. Red represents that our army will always be a revolutionary army under the leadership of the party. The shield represents that our army will become a strong fortress for the people of Northeast China to resist foreign aggression. The two rifles crossed on the top represent our determination to never let go of our guns. ”

"Originally, the size of our troops was not large, and the conditions were difficult, so the choice of military uniforms was as simple as possible. Based on the captured Japanese military uniforms, only a military cap was changed. And due to the constraints, the collar badge and cockade were not issued. Only on the left chest of the military uniform wore the badge of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Coalition Army to show his identity. ”

"Due to the rapid expansion of the base areas and the size of the troops this year, the number and style of captured Japanese-style military uniforms are far from meeting the needs of the troops, nor are they suitable for our current situation. So before this summer campaign, we had already started to design new military uniforms. In order to save as much money as possible, we just added a lapel on the basis of the original Japanese-style small standing leader. ”

At the same time, a reinforcing cloth was installed on the elbows, knees, shoulders, buttocks and other parts of the military uniforms of cadres below the battalion level and soldiers who were prone to wear and tear, so as to improve the wear resistance of the uniforms. As for the difference between the military uniforms of cadres and soldiers, it is that the military uniform jacket of cadres has four pockets, while the soldiers have two pockets. As for the materials, according to the old habits of the past, all officers and men are the same. Except for the cadres at and above the regimental level, each of whom was given an additional Japanese general's coat, the same was true for all military uniforms, including me. ”

After the chairman and the commander-in-chief listened to Yang Zhen carefully explain the new military uniform he was equipped with, the chairman and the commander-in-chief nodded slightly after exchanging a knowing look, and the commander-in-chief said to Yang Zhen: "Comrade Yang Zhen, here's the thing. Last year, after the documentary on your autumn battle was released in Chongqing, the response was very great. ”

"Public opinion has always called on the Nationalist Government to give you a formal establishment and recognize you as a regular army, following the example of the reorganization of the Red Army at the beginning. In order to show the existence of China's anti-Japanese forces in the Northeast, and to dispel the lie propagated by the Japanese army that there is no military force in the Northeast and that there are only a few areas in the Northeast that there are some roving bandits. ”

"Moreover, the U.S. ambassador to China has repeatedly proposed to the Military Council that you should be given formal recognition in order to demonstrate the Chinese government's military presence in Northeast China. Due to the pressure of public opinion and international public opinion, in September this year, when your summer battle was in full swing, the Nationalist Government made a resolution to officially recognize you as the National Revolutionary Army. And officially awarded you the title of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Army of the National Revolutionary Army. ”

"Moreover, you have been appointed Lieutenant General and Commander-in-Chief, and Comrade Li Yanping is Lieutenant General and Deputy Commander-in-Chief. Comrade Guo Bingxun is the chief of staff of the major general, and Comrade Gao Yumin is the director of the political training department of the major general. At the same time, it was decided to organize your troops into six corps, with the rank of commander conferring the rank of major general. Units below the brigade level shall be appointed by you and reported to the Ministry of Military Affairs for archiving. ”

Hearing that his troops were actually absorbed by the National Government without his knowledge, and he was also awarded the rank of lieutenant general, Yang Zhen couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly. After a long time, he said: "Chairman, boss, I want to hear the views of the central government on this matter." As for whether the Nationalist Government admits it or not, it has no intention for us, let alone considered it. ”

"Whether he admits it or not, we all have to fight to the end. We will not give up resistance because of a military rank and number. Whether he has this number or not, it doesn't matter to us. In short, we are all a contingent that persists in struggle under the leadership of the central authorities. ”

Looking at Yang Zhen's calm expression when he learned of this, the chairman smiled slightly and said: "In view of the current domestic situation and the relationship between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, we also take into account the convenience of your propaganda. At the same time, in order to show our determination to safeguard the anti-Japanese national united front, the Central Committee decided to accept this decision of the Nationalist Government and accept the number given by them. ”

Speaking of this, the chairman paused slightly and said: "As for the military rank system, the central government has decided to implement the military rank system first in the Anti-Japanese Federation after studying and taking into account all considerations. Originally, the central authorities had planned to implement a military rank system throughout the army, but due to the constraints of changing circumstances, this idea was abandoned. ”

"However, considering your special situation, and the fact that you have more contact with the Soviet army and will come into contact with the US military in the future, it is still necessary to implement the military rank system. Therefore, the central government has decided to implement the military rank system in your first place. After it is suitable, it will be promoted to the whole army. Now the central government would like to solicit your ideas and see if it is feasible. ”

"After all, if there is no investigation, there is no right to speak? Whether this matter is beneficial to the future development of your troops, and whether it is in line with your current situation, we should also ask for advice from you, the military commander. ”
