Chapter five hundred and ninety-ninth it doesn't matter
Hearing the concerned words from the commander-in-chief, Yang Zhen shook his head and said: "Boss, don't worry about me. I'll be fine. I'll report my work to the central government first. As for rest, you can do it anytime. Don't worry, I will definitely use my time during this period."
Make a thorough and detailed report to the Central Committee on the work situation, 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 when 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 notified actually went out to greet him personally.
When Yang Zhen saw that the great man he had always wanted to see but had never been able to do since he returned to this era actually made an exception and went out to greet him in person, he was also shocked. He quickly got out of the car with fear and fear, and rushed forward in a few steps, respectfully
He gave a standard military salute.
Just as the commander-in-chief was surprised by his age when he saw Yang Zhen, the chairman was also surprised by his youth after seeing Yang Zhen again. Although from the Nanchang Uprising to the present, in the more than ten years of military struggle.
As the founder and commander-in-chief of the People's Army, young generals are not uncommon, and can even be said to be everywhere.
General Lin was only twenty-three years old when he first served as army commander. When he was promoted to commander of the First Red Army Corps, the most elite of the Central Red Army, he was only twenty-five years old. At that time, the youngest division-level cadre in the Red Army was serving as a division commander.
When he became a political commissar, he was only eighteen years old. Among the three main forces of the Red Army at that time, there were many who served as division-level cadres in their twenties and even in their twenties as army-level cadres.
But people like Yang Zhen, who became the commander-in-chief of a large region in his twenties, served as the military commander of an army with hundreds of thousands of equipment, the best in the entire army, and now have tanks, planes, and chariots, and who have successively won great victories.
But he was the first one. Although they already knew Yang Zhen's age, everyone including the chairman was still shocked by Yang Zhen's youth when they met him.
Seeing the rare expression of surprise on the Chairman's face, the Commander-in-Chief joked: "Chairman, are you also surprised that we have such a young and promising general? To be honest, he just got off the plane.
At that time, I was also surprised. I thought my eyes were dim."
"Even though we have known his age for a long time, we still can't believe that such a little guy can pull up a well-equipped army in such difficult conditions in Northern Manchuria, and he can also fight something we can't even imagine.
The battle has achieved such great results."
Hearing the Commander-in-Chief's joke, the Chairman laughed and said unconcernedly: "Boss, you are wrong. Our Commander Yang is so young. He was not only what I expected, but also what I expected."
In addition, saying it was expected means that if you want to open a gap in the situation in Northern Manchuria, you cannot rely solely on maturity and prudence."
"It's unexpected, but I didn't expect that such a young man would be so experienced in marching, deploying and fighting. From their battle last autumn to this summer's battle, there was almost no improvement in the entire deployment and operations.
There is not even the slightest flaw. It has the boldness and impetus of young people and the prudentness of veterans."
Having said this, the chairman smiled slightly at the commander-in-chief and said: "Boss, I'm afraid it's not just us who didn't think of the latter point, but even the Emperor of Japan and Umezu Yoshijiro didn't think of it, right? Otherwise, they would have been able to succeed under Comrade Yang Zhen continuously
Did you suffer such a big loss? As a result of your battle this summer, the good guys only wiped out a few divisions. Now, I’m afraid that the Japanese Emperor will be heartbroken to death."
Hearing what the Chairman said was half ridicule and half truth, the Commander-in-Chief laughed and looked at Yang Zhen, who seemed somewhat reserved after meeting the Chairman. He changed the subject and said, "Chairman, is it time to let us in? Mr.
We cannot let our young and promising comrade report to us right at this gate. Comrade Xiao Yang has already prepared it."
Hearing this, the chairman also smiled heartily, and took the lead to walk back to his typical northern Shaanxi farmhouse, which served as both an office and a residence. Listening to the relaxing words of the chairman and the commander-in-chief, Yang Zhen saw the tension brought by the great man for the first time.
It 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. Instead, he saw that Yang Zhen was wearing a slightly different military uniform than when Li Yanping came to Yan'an at the beginning of the year.
, but he turned the topic to military uniforms and said: "Comrade Yang Zhen, the military uniforms you are wearing now are different from those 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 are still so difficult,
You won’t be willing to spend such a large sum of money to change your clothes.”
Hearing the chairman's question, Yang Zhen quickly smiled and said: "Chairman, this cap badge and collar badge were just issued after we captured Harbin this time. Since the cap badge and collar badge have not been completely completed, they are mainly distributed first.
Headquarters agency. The headquarters agency will try them on first and then distribute them to the entire army based on the situation."
"As for the cap badge and collar badge, they are completely designed and manufactured by us. The cap badge is stamped out of aluminum from the wreckage of a downed Japanese aircraft. The one large and four small gold stars on it represent that we are a group of workers, peasants, and businessmen under the leadership of a party.
The people's army formed by soldiers. And the pine branches around Venus represent the hard-working and perseverance qualities of our army."
"Because pine trees have extremely strong vitality, they give people strength, deep thought, inspiration and courage. They are full of vitality, stand proudly, stand proud of the wind and snow, resist severe cold, are not afraid of wind and rain, are vigorous and powerful, stay young forever, have the spirit of sacrifice and dedication.
Spiritual character. So for the decoration next to Venus, I chose two pine branches as the pattern."
"As for this collar badge, it has a 30% meaning. The red color 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 Northeast people to resist foreign aggression. The two crossed rifles above it
, represents our determination to never put down our guns."
"Originally, our army was small in size and the conditions were difficult, so we tried to be as simple as possible in the selection of military uniforms. Based on the captured Japanese military uniforms, we only changed the military caps. And due to the constraints of the conditions, we did not issue collar badges.
and cap badge. Just wear the badge of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Forces on the left chest of the military uniform to show identity."
"Due to the rapid expansion of the base area and the size of the troops this year, the number and style of captured Japanese military uniforms are far from meeting the needs of the troops and are not suitable for our current situation. Therefore, before this summer operation, we have
We began to design a new style of military uniform. In order to save limited funds as much as possible, we just added external lapels to the original Japanese-style small stand-up collar military uniform."
"At the same time, a piece of reinforcing cloth is installed on the elbows, knees, shoulders, hips and other parts of the uniforms of cadres below the battalion and soldiers that are easy to wear, which improves the wear resistance of the uniforms. As for the difference between the uniforms of cadres and soldiers, it is the difference between cadres and soldiers' uniforms.
The military uniform jacket has four pockets, while the soldier has two pockets. As for the materials used, it still follows the old habits in the past, and all officers and soldiers are the same. Except for the cadres above the regiment who are each issued an additional Japanese general's coat,
All military uniforms, including mine, are in the same condition."
After the Chairman and the Commander-in-Chief listened to Yang Zhen's detailed explanation of the new military uniforms, the Chairman and the Commander-in-Chief exchanged a knowing look, nodded slightly, and the Commander-in-Chief said to Yang Zhen: "Comrade Yang Zhen, this is what happened.
After the documentary about your victory in the Autumn Campaign last year was released in Chongqing, the response was great."
"Civil public opinion has been calling on the Nationalist Government to follow the example of the Red Army when it was reorganized, to give you a formal establishment and recognize you as a regular force. This is to show the existence of China's anti-Japanese forces in the Northeast and to break the Japanese army's propaganda that we have no military power in the Northeast.
There are rumors that bandits are roaming around in only a few areas in the Northeast."
"Furthermore, the U.S. Ambassador to China has repeatedly proposed to the Military Committee that you should be given formal recognition to demonstrate the Chinese government's military presence in Northeast China. Due to pressure from civilian and international public opinion, in September this year, you
When the battle was intensifying, the Nationalist Government made a resolution to officially recognize you as the National Revolutionary Army and officially granted you the designation of the National Revolutionary Army's Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Forces."
"And you have been appointed as Lieutenant General Commander-in-Chief, Comrade Li Yanping as Lieutenant General Deputy Commander-in-Chief. Comrade Guo Bingxun as Major General Chief of Staff, and Comrade Gao Yumin as Major General Political Training Department Director. At the same time, it has been decided to organize your troops into six corps.
Those at the first level will be awarded the rank of major general. For troops below the brigade, you will be appointed by yourself and then reported to the Ministry of Military Affairs for filing."
Hearing that his troops were incorporated by the Nationalist Government without his knowledge, and that he was awarded the rank of lieutenant general, Yang Zhen couldn't help but shook his head and smiled bitterly. After a long time, he said: "Chairman, boss, I want to hear from the Central Committee
Our views on this matter. As for whether the National Government recognizes it or not, we have no intention at all, let alone considered it.”
"Whether he admits it or not, we will fight to the end. We will not give up resistance just because of some military rank or number. Whether he has this number or not, it doesn't matter to us. In short, it doesn't matter to us.
We are all an independent and persistent struggle team under the leadership of the central government."
Looking at Yang Zhen's calm expression after learning about this matter, 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 consider the convenience of your propaganda. At the same time, in order to show our commitment to maintaining the anti-Japanese national united front
Determined, the central government decided to accept the decision of the National Government and the designation they granted."
Having said this, the chairman paused slightly and then said: "As for the military rank system, after research and comprehensive consideration of various aspects, the Central Committee decided to implement the military rank system first in the Anti-Japanese League. Originally, the Central Committee had planned to implement the military rank system in the entire army, but
Due to the constraints of changing circumstances, I gave up this idea."
"However, considering your special situation and your frequent contact with the Soviet army and the US military in the future, it is still necessary to implement a military rank system. Therefore, the central government has decided to implement the military rank system first. When it is suitable, it will be introduced to the whole country.
Military promotion. Now the central government wants to solicit your ideas to see if it is feasible."
"After all, if there is no investigation, do you have no right to speak? Whether this matter is beneficial to the future development of your army and whether it is consistent with your current situation, I still need to seek advice from you, the military commander."
