While Yuan Zhiruo was sizing up Li Huilan, Li Huilan was also sizing her up. Looking at Yang Zhen, the equally beautiful female secretary in front of her, she felt quite bitter in her heart. As a woman, Yuan Zhiruo looked at Yang Zhenruo from time to time.
Of course she understood the meaning in her eyes. It was the expression of a woman looking at her lover.
Facing Yuan Zhiruo, who was Yang Zhen's secretary, Li Huilan found that she had no chance of winning. She had seriously injured Yang Zhen before, no matter what the reason was, but after all, there was a serious rift between the two people. And she
I don't know much about the current Yang Zhen, so I'm first in a disadvantageous situation.
In addition, I had a marriage when I was in Wannan. Although before I could get married, my husband left Wannan due to work arrangements and died soon after. But after all, in terms of life experience, he was still married. Moreover, he and
Yang Zhen is of the same age and has no advantage over the beauty in front of him in any aspect.
However, the moment she got on the plane, Li Huilan, who had definitely regained her feelings and started anew with Yang Zhen, did not intend to give up. No matter where the woman in front of her and Yang Zhen develop, she will not easily do it again.
Give up. She doesn't want to and won't let herself regret it anymore.
Although there were mixed feelings in her heart, Li Huilan tried her best to suppress it and did not show this feeling on her face. Yuan Zhiruo also did not show the doubts in her heart. The two just stood there, looking at each other. They were just looking at each other.
There's just something about the look in the other person's eyes.
Of course, people in this era are obviously very reserved when it comes to relationships, and are far less bold and explicit than when they pursued relationships in later generations. Although the two women fell in love with each other as soon as they met, they were not openly confrontational. On the surface, they were indifferent.
They all pretended to be nonchalant. But the way they looked at each other was a bit off.
Yang Zhen, who was talking to the boss, knew that the two women around him looked calm on the surface, but underneath they could be described as turbulent. Of course, the boss who was talking to Yang Zhen would not have thought that Yang Zhen and the woman he sent a telegram specifically to
The female soldiers coming from the Wannan Army will have another relationship with Yang Zhen.
Looking at the somewhat thin Yang Zhen, the boss patted him on the shoulder and said: "You did a good job this time. You brought out all the troops. You were able to bring out the main force in such a complicated situation. Not bad.
It’s really good. After the chairman heard that the troops rushed out, he was so excited that he couldn’t sleep all night.”
"However, there won't be another time. If you are personally involved in danger, the central government will deal with it seriously. You are the top commander of the entire army, how could you think of personally leading a small unit to act as bait? A cadre at the team level in southern Anhui
, you really can’t find anyone to replace you? Have you ever thought about what will happen to the army if something happens to you?”
Hearing the boss' words that were partly complaining and partly angry, Yang Zhen smiled and said: "Boss, it's okay. I have experience in this kind of situation. In the Northeast, when we just rushed out of Harbin, the surrounding areas
The enemy situation is much more complicated than in southern Anhui. The reaction speed of the third theater is much worse than that of the little Japanese."
"In the Northeast, the common people are not on our side. When we first rushed out of Harbin, we sent people to make up for reconnaissance, but they were reported by the common people because of the wrong accent. In less than half an hour, the Japanese and puppet troops
We were dispatched, intercepted in front, and pursued behind. The mass base around southern Anhui is quite good. Not only will they not betray us, they will also take the initiative to cover us. This kind of situation does not exist in the Northeast."
"Also, after the division of troops, the troops are indeed a little small, but they also have an advantage, that is, mobility and flexibility. Moreover, in mountainous areas, mountain warfare and guerrilla warfare are our strengths. We are also familiar with the geography and climate of the mountainous areas in southern Anhui, and the vegetation there
It’s pretty good too. So, although the small unit I led has a small number of troops, there is no problem in terms of safety.”
Regarding Yang Zhen's statement, the boss shook his head and said: "You are always so reasonable. Don't even think about it. You are the leader of an army. You are responsible not only for the small unit that is responsible for luring the enemy, but also for the entire army.
His safety is in danger. Both the chairman and I are clear about your intentions. But to build confidence and make him believe that the central government believes in him, we cannot use this method. Let's go, the chairman is still waiting to hear your report on the situation in southern Anhui."
After getting on the bus, the boss turned to Yang Zhen and said: "Comrade Xiao Yang, there are some new situations in the Northeast. Li Yanping and others hope that you can rush back as soon as possible. In view of the current changes in the situation in the Northeast, the central government has decided to approve it the day after tomorrow.
You leave and return to the northeast."
Hearing that Li Yanping and the others actually sent a telegram, hoping that he could rush back as soon as possible, Yang Zhen was not in a hurry to ask his boss what happened in the Northeast. Instead, he pondered for a while before saying: "Boss, is it the Japanese Kwantung Army?"
Is there any big move coming again?”
Yang Zhen's calm expression made the boss smile and wave his hands: "Your army does have some friction with the Japanese army now, and judging from the current intelligence, the Kwantung Army mobilizes frequently and the speed of troop replenishment has also been greatly accelerated. However,
There is nothing unusual yet.”
"They want you to go back, but there are some problems with cooperation with Jiangbei and the Americans. Especially with Jiangbei, there are some problems. You know the characters of your partners, they are all straight. Without you
There are so many gimmicks and intrigues. It’s up to you to resolve these things.”
"The development of the military industry in the Northeast is a key to whether our army can develop and grow in the future. Whether we can establish our own systematic military production capacity in the Northeast will play a vital role in whether our army can get rid of the current shortage of guns and ammunition in the future, and more importantly, whether it can get rid of the current shortage of guns and ammunition.
is a crucial factor.”
"So the central government decided that you should return to the Northeast immediately and finish the matters there as soon as possible. The chairman is hosting a banquet at his residence tonight to celebrate and greet you, and to see you off. In addition, the chairman has some very important things.
I will leave the matter to you." The boss's words made Yang Zhen feel at ease.
The speed of the car was very fast, and the city of Yan'an was not very big. There were no traffic lights at this time. Just as the boss was talking to Yang Zhen, the car had already arrived at the chairman's residence. When he saw the chairman standing at the door again,
When greeting him outside, Yang Zhen quickly got out of the car and saluted.
After carefully looking at Yang Zhen, the chairman smiled happily and said to the boss next to him: "Fortunately, except for losing some weight, there is no change. What you did this time really worried us.
No matter what the reason is, you will be criticized for doing so."
Although the chairman's words were very calm, Yang Zhen, who heard the dissatisfaction in the chairman's words, quickly said: "Chairman, the boss has already criticized me, and I also know that what I have done is a bit reckless. Please rest assured, chairman.
I must pay attention and it will never happen again."
Seeing that Yang Zhen's attitude of admitting his mistake was quite sincere, the chairman nodded, but then shook his head and said: "It will not be an example next time. No, it will never be an example. There are many solutions to some things, why do you want to take the risk yourself?
You are not only the political commissar of the New Fourth Army, but also the commander of the Northeast Military Region. You shoulder the mission of two major strategic areas, how can you take such risks so easily?"
Yang Zhen didn't dare to talk back at this time, so he could only stand aside and be scolded. Fortunately, the embarrassment didn't take long before the boss resolved it: "Chairman, since Xiao Yang has realized his mistake, shall we call it a day?"
No matter what, his starting point is still good."
The boss interceded for Yang Zhen, and the chairman did not go any further. Although Yang Zhen took some risks this time, he still came back safely. Apart from being a little thin, he was not injured. Think about it again.
His good intentions dissipated the anger in the chairman's heart.
Whether the Army Commander can re-establish confidence is an important factor related to the future development of the New Fourth Army. As long as the relationship with the Nationalist Government cannot be completely broken, the Army Commander, a military commander recognized by Chongqing, cannot easily be replaced.
Moreover, the commander's ability to command large corps cannot be replaced by anyone in the New Fourth Army for the time being.
Once the military commander's self-confidence cannot be re-established in a short period of time, it will be harmful to the future development of the New Fourth Army. Therefore, the chairman still understands Yang Zhen's good intentions. But he understands and lets the chairman agree.
It is absolutely impossible for Yang Zhen to take the trouble on himself.
What is it like for the chief officer of a large region to leave his troops and take hundreds of soldiers to fight guerrillas alone for some reasons that can be completely remedied after the fact? If the Laosan Regiment hadn't found him later, he would have only taken the spies with him.
Yang Zhen, who has a battalion and a half of his regiment, has less than a thousand troops around him. If something happens, even the chairman will not know what to do. Especially since there is currently no one in the Northeast who can replace Yang Zhen.
Under this circumstance, the chairman's anger is understandable.
But now that the chairman's anger has subsided, the situation has naturally calmed down. Returning to the small reception room of the chairman's residence, the quick wife of the chairman had already prepared a table of Hunan-style dinner for Yang Zhen. However,
In order to take care of Yang Zhen's inability to eat spicy food, I also prepared two authentic Northeastern side dishes this time.
This time at the meal, Yang Zhen was much less restrained than last time. With the authentic Northeastern side dishes and fragrant millet, Yang Zhen had the most satisfying meal in two months. In southern Anhui, those southern vegetables and
He is really not used to eating bacon. Not to mention that he has never eaten it before, but in his opinion, the ones he has eaten are not as delicious as the stewed cabbage from Northeast China.
Compared to Yang Zhen who was devouring his food, the chairman and the boss simply took a few bites and then put down their chopsticks. After Yang Zhen was full and put down his bowl and chopsticks, the chairman smiled and pointed at Yang Zhen and said: "It seems that our
Comrade Yang Zhen has been in southern Anhui for several months, but he is still not used to eating southern food. He is still a true northerner and is used to eating northern food. I am afraid this is the most delicious meal Comrade Yang Zhen has eaten in these two months.
.”
Hearing this, the boss also smiled and said: "Yes, it seems that our Comrade Xiao Yang is still an authentic northern warrior. During this time in southern Anhui, although the battles were fought beautifully, he was still somewhat acclimatized in his bones.
.We don’t know anything else. At least this dish is definitely something we are not used to.”
