Guo Bingxun's words obviously spoke to Yang Zhen's heart. After giving Guo Bingxun a knowing look, Yang Zhen turned his head and said to Li Yanping: "It's still the same sentence, this matter should be reported to the central government to be resolved, as for us, it's better not to act without authorization." If the central government tells you to go, you will go, and if you don't let you go, you won't go. ”

Seeing Yang Zhen's eyes, Guo Bingxun smiled knowingly, and did not express his opinion again, but deliberately led the topic in another direction: "Commander, the political commissar and I came to you today to find you have a very important matter, and I want to discuss it with you." ”

"You see, now the pilots we sent out have received the transport planes handed over by Jiangbei and have completed the conversion training. At any time, according to the plan we have studied before, the air route from Sanjiang to Yan'an can be fully opened. Do you think we can get started? ”

Yang Zhen heard Guo Bingxun's topic, but he said without the slightest hesitation: "I think it's okay, as much as possible to open up the route, whether it is for us or for the central government, it is a very important matter." It is very helpful to facilitate the exchange of personnel and materials between us and the central government. ”

"Political commissar, Lao Guo, you must hurry up and act after you go back, and immediately prepare the materials to be transported to Yan'an. Try to focus on cash and weapons and ammunition. As for souvenirs and the like, don't ship them. Those things, no more, no less. ”

"This first official flight should be carried out in the shortest possible time. Lao Guo, you go to Zhang Zhenhua and extract 1,500 Czech rifles, all Thomson submachine guns and corresponding ammunition, 200 fast and slow machines, and 200 7.63 mm submachine guns made by ourselves from the existing stockpile of weapons and ammunition. ”

In addition, eight Japanese mortars, 30 light machine guns, and 8 heavy machine guns are being prepared. In addition, Lao Guo, you are choosing some good guns from our inventory of pistols. Another 1,000,000 rounds of 79 bullets and 1,000,000 rounds of 65 rounds of ammunition were allocated, and 1,000 rounds of other ammunition were allocated. The bullets should be original, not reloaded by ourselves. Weapons should be selected as the best, not used. ”

"In addition, we will pick out a copy of the documentary filmed by Jiangbei this time and send it to the central government. Two 100-watt radios and five 15-watt radios were transferred to the central government from the stockpile. In addition, we obtained the materials of the Japanese army's bacteriological warfare in Harbin, and transferred half of the penicillin and sulfonamide in the stock to the central government. ”

Speaking of this, Yang Zhen pondered for a while and said to Li Yanping: "Political commissar, how much gold and the ocean we still have on hand, take out half of it." This time, you took Huang Dali and a platoon of the reconnaissance battalion to run in person. One is to escort supplies and deal with unexpected things along the way. You are a political commissar, and when you deal with Jiangbei, it is more appropriate. ”

"The second is to make a detailed report to the central government on our current situation. Our situation, you know. If someone else goes, I don't feel at ease. In particular, those of us who have exchanged our lives for the Japanese army's bacteriological warfare materials must be handed over to the central authorities in a complete and complete manner. Commissar, I'll leave this matter to you. ”

Looking at Yang Zhen, who was a little excited, Li Yanping shook his head and said, "Don't worry, let's send a telegram to the central government and see what they need." Weapons and ammunition are not necessarily urgently needed by the central government, and I estimate that the funding gap may be larger. It is possible to lean a little bit in this regard. ”

Yang Zhen shook his head and said, "Political commissar, this batch of equipment is for the Central Guard Corps. The Central Guard Corps is responsible for the last line of defense against the Party Central Committee. When the 18th Group Army set out on the expedition, the central government transferred all the good weapons to the front-line troops. What is left in his hand are some old sleeves and old guns such as the Yuan Nian style, not to mention the formality, even the guns made in Hanyang and Liao 13 are very rare. ”

"I heard Chen Bo say that many of the pistols of the Central Guard Regiment came out of the old base area, and those guns were so powerful that they didn't even have rifling. Light and heavy machine guns are not enough for a base, and together they are not enough for more than half of our battalion. On average, each person has less than 20 bullets. ”

"The Japanese army was in the east of the river, only across the river from northern Shaanxi, the central location. If the Japanese army crossed the river and attacked northern Shaanxi, how could they defend the central government with these weapons? The Central Committee is the lifeblood of the whole party and the whole army, and there must be no accident in the slightest. If you send a telegram to the central authorities, they will certainly not want these weapons and ammunition according to the style of the central leadership, which is to focus on the rear, the front line, and the overall situation. Let's cut it first and then play it. If it is shipped, it will be difficult for them to return it. ”

Speaking of this, Yang Zhen paused for a moment and said: "Political commissar, after you go, tell the central leaders that as long as the air route is opened for one day, all the weapons and equipment needed by the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo border region will be provided by us." In other base areas, if there is a need, we will also find appropriate ways to supplement it. But this batch of equipment should not be allocated to other troops, but should be reequipped with the Central Guard Regiment. ”

Yang Zhen's thoughts Li Yanping understood, nodded slightly, and said, "Okay, just do as you say." I've heard what you're talking about, too. But I heard that there are not many Japanese-style weapons in Yan'an, most of them are still Chinese-made Hanyang-made, Yuannian-style and a few Liao 13 rifles. All the captured Japanese-style weapons were left by the central government to the troops behind enemy lines.

"Even if there are a small number of Shanxi imitation 38 rifles captured by the Jin army, the number is not much. They are next to the World War II zone, and the gap should be easy to fix. In my opinion, if you do this, you should not give 65 bullets, and if you don't have Japanese weapons, you can't use them. The 1,65 bullets were all changed to 79 bullets brought from Jiangbei. ”

"In addition, all the light and heavy machine guns are selected from Jiangbei to be the best. We don't have any new 79 machine guns in our hands, and we can't get our hands on those old German antiques that have been refurbished. It is still selected from the weapons transported from Jiangbei, and second-hand goods are second-hand goods, but they are all eighty percent new. And among the pistols I brought from Jiangbei again, I picked out a hundred, 20,000 rounds of ammunition, and their nine-millimeter pistol was really good. ”

Hearing the two of them talking about the weapons shipped to the central government here, Guo Bingxun over there suddenly said: "In this way, I found a lot of Czech weapons and equipment captured when Poland followed the Germans behind the ass of the Germans the year before last and invaded the Czech Republic. Among them, there are more than 1,000 ZB 33 light machine guns and more than 300 ZB 37 heavy machine guns of the latest Czech Republic, all of which are new weapons that have not been unpacked. ”

"Czech-made light weapons are durable and have excellent performance. Even the Nationalist Government used the Czech light machine gun as a standard light machine gun, but the old Type 26 was used. In addition to the replenishment of these weapons into the troops, not all of them were issued due to the weapon standard. More than 200 light machine guns and 30 or 40 heavy machine guns were also put into storage for reserve weapons. ”

"I think so, light and heavy machine guns are selected from this. Although we don't use many Czech-made weapons, we use a lot of them in the customs. I think it is relatively easy to pick and get spare parts from the national army with the intelligence capabilities of the central government. With the addition of the Czech-made rifles, all the weapons were Czech-style weapons of German caliber. This caliber is the same, and it comes from one door, which is also easy to maintain. ”

Yang Zhen pondered for a while when he heard this, and said, "Don't pick it, all these weapons have been transported." You're right, these two weapons are used in large quantities in the level, and the parts are easy to handle. Our arsenal is already running out of capacity to produce parts and ammunition for Japanese-style weapons, and it is impossible to produce parts for Czech-style weapons with completely different specifications. We don't have much use in keeping these weapons, and all of them are transferred to the central government. ”

Speaking of this, Yang Zhen raised his head and said to Li Yanping: "With these weapons, as well as the platoon that escorted, it should have reached the capacity limit of these nine aircraft." As for the rest, I'll wait until next time. Commissar, go and hurry up and prepare. When I leave, I'll go to Luobei to see you off. ”

Li Yanping nodded slightly, but hesitated for a while, and hesitated for a long time before saying, "Commander Yang, I went to Yan'an this time, did I bring Deputy Commander Zhao with me?" Would it be better for you to write a letter to the Central Committee and ask Deputy Commander Zhao to go to Kang Da or the Central Party School for further study for a period of time, and then rearrange the work according to the situation? ”

Hearing Li Yanping's construction, Yang Zhen couldn't help but have some doubts. Since Li Yanping became the political commissar, he has always been conscientious and conscientious, and he has never been careful, let alone secretly rectified people behind his back. If you have any opinions, you will always put them forward in person, and you will not gossip or tell right and wrong in secret. The appointment and adjustment of cadres is also a bowl of water, and there is never favoritism.

What's the matter today, he actually proposed to transfer Deputy Commander Zhao back to the Central Committee for further study, and even said that he didn't want him to work in the northeast. It's a bit unusual, there's definitely something going on in it that he doesn't know, it's not like he's used to do it?

Yang Zhen looked at Li Yanping, who was a little speechless, turned his head to Guo Bingxun and said, "Old Guo, you say." What the hell is going on? I know that Political Commissar Li would not say such things lightly. Since it is said, there is definitely a special reason. ”

When Guo Bingxun saw Yang Zhen asking himself, he could only shake his head and explain: "Here's the thing. After you were wounded in Yilan, Deputy Commander Zhao suspected that someone had betrayed your whereabouts. Because at that time, Yilan was still in the three-district system, and had not yet been divided into the four-district division. So he suspects that someone from the 3rd Division leaked your actions to the Japanese army. ”

With this preconceived idea, he launched an anti-traitor campaign in the Third Division, and the prisoners of war who were transferred from the Guannai and us, especially the cadres from the local people, and even the soldiers became the objects of his suspicion. It went too far, arrested a lot of people and tortured them to extract confessions, branded many cadres as Japanese spies or capitulation and vacillation, and made the people in the Third Division panic. ”

"Last month, not long after you were injured, a platoon commander of the Third Division, who joined the army through the river, heard the rumors that he was going to arrest him, and defected with a gun while being afraid. After Yi Jianping was transferred, the Third Division has not yet arranged a political commissar, and the secretary of the party committee is now temporarily concurrently served by Deputy Commander Zhao. If he does this, no one in the Three Divisions will be able to control him. ”

When the political commissar found out, he immediately went to the Third Division to ask him to stop the movement immediately and release all the arrestees. Deputy Commander Zhao resolutely refused, and even quarreled with the political commissar. If it weren't for Chai Shirong, who went with him, he would have taken a company to protect the political commissar, and he would have to arrest the political commissar. After returning, the political commissar asked him to stop immediately several times, but he ignored them. The three divisions were almost paralyzed by him. ”

"He also wants to be the deputy commander in charge of divisional operations in the military region, and he will simultaneously promote his so-called campaign to suppress traitors and crack down on capitulationists in the four divisions of the entire military region. Fortunately, after consulting the political commissar, several sub-districts did not pay attention to his order. Otherwise, these four divisions will be completely chaotic. ”

Guo Bingxun's words fell, and Yang Zhen's brows furrowed deeply. I asked Zhao Shangzhi to come over because I valued his military talents, but I didn't expect to have this hand. How dare he do it without his own initiative?

Chen Bo has found out that his attack was just a coincidence. Those Japanese puppet soldiers are just thinking about making some windfalls. As for his whereabouts, let alone the Third Division, even the one who was stationed in the Third Division for training did not know his whereabouts, and even if he wanted to betray him, he had to have intelligence to betray.

After all, he did it to purify the troops, so that similar incidents would not happen again. Or do you take this opportunity to have other thoughts, and the drunkard doesn't mean to drink? This Yang Zhen is still unknown. But there is one thing, Yang Zhen understands that this matter must be stopped immediately. Otherwise, it will cause irreparable consequences if it is delayed.

Now Yang Zhen knows why the commander-in-chief resolutely opposed him concurrently serving as political commissar, and said that some things were not wronged against him. I originally thought that the current leader of the Third Route Army was leaning to the left, and after a long time, this deputy commander Zhao was better than anyone else.

No wonder many generals of the Third Route Army avoided him as soon as they heard that he was back. wanted to select a political commissar from his old subordinates, and no one wanted to go. I'd rather be demoted than partner with him. I was deceived by those online articles in later generations, and many things can only be concluded after seeing them with my own eyes. A lot of times, the stuff in the history books isn't true.

What Yang Zhen hates most is his own internal fighting, which is why he resolutely did not want those anti-rebellion experts when he asked the central government to send manpower. In addition to having a certain degree of foresight for the future, he also hated this kind of internal pointless struggle for one of the reasons.

He believes that Li Yanping and Guo Bingxun will not deceive themselves, and the matter has developed to this point, and it is no longer possible to solve it. The 3rd Division was in direct confrontation with the Japanese army, and once it fell into chaos, it would bring great danger. This kind of thing must be curbed, and it must not be allowed to develop any longer.

Thinking of this, Yang Zhen said to Guo Bingxun: "You go and send a telegram to Deputy Commander Zhao, just say that the military region has decided to hold a standing committee in Jiamusi, and I will personally attend and let him come to the meeting." This telegram commissar is not good to send it, send it in your name. Let him come to the meeting no matter what happens. ”

After explaining Guo Bingxun, Yang Zhen turned his head to Li Yanping and said, "Political commissar, you immediately go to talk to Chai Shirong and ask him to immediately prepare to take over as the commander of the Third Division." After Deputy Commander Zhao arrived in Jiamusi, you lined up a car for Chai Shirong and asked Gao Yumin to send him to the Third Division to take office. As for the dismissal of Deputy Commander Zhao from the post of commander of the Third Division, I will personally announce it to him. ”

"As for transferring him to the central government, I think it's okay. I will write a letter to the Central Committee. You get ready, take him with you when you go. I don't care about anything else, but there is one thing that is absolutely not allowed in my troops, such things as indiscriminate arrests, and no kind of sports. ”

Yang Zhen acted so decisively, transferred Zhao Shangzhi back to the headquarters in the name of a meeting, and directly contacted him to concurrently serve as the commander of the Third Division, which made Li Yanping somewhat unexpected. However, Li Yanping also had to admit that in order to contain the situation in the three divisions and continue to develop, and to correct this abnormal situation in the shortest possible time, Yang Zhen's thunderous means are necessary.
