Looking at Huang Dali, who was a little disappointed, Yang Zhen smiled and said: "Dali, although you can't go to the battlefield here, it is an infinitely glorious thing to defend the Central Committee. The Central Committee is the brains of the whole party and the whole army. You stay in Yan'an to improve." The military quality of the Central Guard Corps in order to better protect the security of the central government is also a task assigned to you by the military region."
Yang Zhen's somewhat formulaic answer made Huang Dali say with a grimace: "No. 1, you don't know that the training methods of the training troops here are very different from those of our old troops. In addition to the guards around the chief, they can also take turns every year. In addition to dozens of rounds of ammunition, the rest of the troops only have fifteen rounds of ammunition for training every year, and most of the remaining time is spent cultivating wasteland."
"Fifteen rounds of bullets are not enough for the original reconnaissance battalion to conduct a shooting training. There are not enough bullets for training. Even if I try my best, the improvement of the combat effectiveness of the unit will be limited. The weapons and ammunition brought by the political commissar last time, They were all shipped to the troops at the front. A small amount of weapons left in the Central Guard Corps were also transferred to the river defense troops."
"Now the Central Guard Corps has become the worst-equipped and least-ammunition force in northern Shaanxi. Except for a small number of speed machines left by the guards around several key leaders of the central government, most of the weapons are from the river defense troops and those from the northern Shanxi Province. Weapons replaced by the military region.”
"Among these weapons, except for some Jin-made 65th rifles and Liao 13th rifles, which are better, they are all Hanyang-made rifles that can only use old round-nose bullets. Some of the 79th bullets we brought over are basically It cannot be used. Moreover, these guns have become dilapidated after being used for a long time."
Huang Dali's words made Yang Zhen slightly surprised. The last time Li Yanping came to Yan'an, he had repeatedly warned that the equipment flown to Yan'an must be given priority to the Central Guard Force. When Li Yanping returned, it was not I have already said that at the strong request of the deputy commander-in-chief of the 18th Army, has the central government agreed to change the uniforms of the Central Guard Corps? Why did it change back again?
Seeing the confusion on Yang Zhen's face, Huang Dali said: "The situation around northern Shaanxi is not ideal now. In addition to the confrontation with the Japanese army across the river, the surrounding Kuomintang army Hu Zongnan has also concentrated a large number of troops. In addition, Ningxia Ma Hongkui's troops formed a situation of encirclement in northern Shaanxi."
"From the current point of view, the six armies of the 34th Group Army under it and the local armed forces in Shaanxi and Gansu provinces, except for some troops serving as river defense and guarding the Henan-Shaanxi border, most of the main forces are concentrated in the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region Surroundings. Northern Shaanxi is now facing extreme military pressure."
"Under this situation, the central government allocated most of the weapons and ammunition transported by air to the strategic areas ahead, and the rest were all allocated to the security forces surrounding northern Shaanxi. The part originally assigned to the Central Security Regiment New equipment and ammunition have also been transferred away. Now the Central Guard Regiment uses the original old guns. Not a single heavy machine gun is left, but only two light machine guns are left."
Regarding Huang Dali's report, Yang Zhen was not surprised. He had already known this history in later generations, and there was no need for surprise. From the beginning of 1940 to the beginning of 1941, there was constant friction between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party. One desperately wants to restrict development, while the other desperately wants development behind enemy lines. The contradiction between the two is basically irreconcilable.
In order to cope with the two-sided attack and defend the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region, the central government not only specially transferred the 120th Division back to northwestern Shanxi to relieve the pressure of the Japanese army on the river defense forces, but also transferred the 359th Brigade, the main force of the 120th Division, back to Shaanxi-Gansu. Ningbian District to strengthen the security force of the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region.
However, except for a small number of pistols, none of the weapons and equipment that the central government airlifted to him were left with the Central Guard Corps. This somewhat surprised Yang Zhen. Yang Zhen was silent for a while and then said: "The matter of weapons Just leave it alone, I will talk to the central government. As for the differences in training methods, you have to consider the nature of this unit during your work."
"The main task of the Central Guard Corps is to ensure the safety of the headquarters agencies and leaders. They will not go to the battlefield easily. The ability to respond to grapples and sudden dangers, as well as marksmanship, should be the focus of training. You have to distinguish between the troops. Different natures require different training. This is very critical."
"As for weapons, I think the central government will have a comprehensive consideration. If the Central Guard Corps does not go to the battlefield, it will naturally not be able to use very good weapons. Moreover, the military region will take into account the special characteristics of the Central Guard Corps in the next step of the replacement plan. , re-dress it. You are also a veteran of the Red Army, so the difference between them should be clear."
Speaking of this, Yang Zhen glanced at Huang Dali, who was a little fatter, and said: "How about it, you can get used to the life in northern Shaanxi. But judging from your current appearance, the millet in northern Shaanxi is still very nourishing. You The kid is starting to gain weight, and the flesh on his face is a little swollen. I tell you, your kid is not allowed to make me paunchy."
"The situation in northern Shaanxi is still calm now, and there is no need to go to the front line, but you kid can't give me a pampering treatment. Soldiers have to go to the front line sooner or later, and it's not okay if your body collapses. If you live too peacefully, you will I have lost all your military skills, and I can't spare you."
At this point, Yang Zhen looked at Huang Dali and said: "You haven't committed those same mistakes since you arrived in Yan'an, right? You must control yourself and don't make the same mistakes again. As a soldier, if you have problems with your life style, it's a minor issue. It would be irresponsible to the family. On a larger scale, it would affect the image of an army. Especially now that you are working in the central government, you represent the image of the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Anti-Japanese Alliance."
"You are also a deputy regiment cadre now, and you are from the old Red Army. No matter the conditions or standards, you are already good enough for the 258th Regiment. If you really can't control it, find a woman to get married. Although the number of women in Yan'an is There aren’t many, but as long as you’re not too ambitious, it’s not hard to find.”
As an old scout from the Red Army, Yang Zhen still remembers clearly how Huang Dali was captured by the Japanese army. This guy was taken out of the woman's bed naked by the little devil. Now he is in the center of Yan'an. , if something about his life style comes out again, it will affect the image of the Anti-League. It will also be detrimental to his own development. It will also be a good thing for him to take the opportunity to hit him.
After Yang Zhen's words fell, Huang Dali looked at his somewhat fat body, scratched his head with some embarrassment and said: "No. 1, don't look down on others, I have corrected that problem of mine long ago. I will stay with you. In such a long time, when have I ever made any mistakes in my lifestyle?"
Having said this, Huang Dali hesitated for a moment and then said: "No. 1, I am now married. My wife is a teacher at a primary school in the border area near where I am stationed. She is a local normal graduate. She was introduced by the head of the Military Commission. Although people from Mizhi in northern Shaanxi are not beautiful, they are virtuous and considerate."
When he heard that Huang Dali was married, Yang Zhen was stunned and couldn't help but smile: "I said that your kid has gained some weight. It turns out that he has a wife. This is a good thing. Why didn't you bring him to see him? He has a wife. My life is just different. I asked you, why are you cleaner than before? Your beard is also very clean. You don't shave as much as before."
"You are really discerning. Mizhi's mother-in-law, Suide's Han, Qingjian's stone, Wayaobao's charcoal. Mizhi has been the place where beautiful women are born in northern Shaanxi since ancient times. People in northern Shaanxi can find a Mizhi woman to be their mother-in-law. , that’s a great thing. I really didn’t realize how capable you are.”
"Otherwise, even if there is an organization to help, you won't be able to find a Mizhi woman to be your wife. You know, Mizhi women are very popular in northern Shaanxi. You are very lucky to be able to find one. A Mizhi woman is my wife. You know, Diao Chan, one of the four beauties in China, is from Mizhi."
When Huang Dali heard Yang Zhen's teasing, although he was a little embarrassed, he said with a happy face: "No. 1, if you come to the Central Committee next year, I can treat you to a full moon wine, and I will become a father in a few months." My wife already has a baby. According to the doctor’s estimate at the hospital, she will give birth in April next year.”
Huang Dali is actually going to be a father? Hearing the news, Yang Zhen was very happy. He just rummaged through his pockets, but couldn't find a decent gift as a meeting gift for his child. He was used to Yuan Zhiruo helping to handle similar matters. Yang Zhen realized at this moment that Yuan Zhiruo was not around, and he was really in trouble.
Yang Zhen, who was a little embarrassed because he couldn't bring out the gift, could only scratch his head and said: "You kid, you gave me such a big surprise when I first arrived. I'm getting married and I'm going to be a father. I'm not prepared for anything. It seems that this gift can only be replenished later. Don’t worry, I will definitely give you a good gift after the child is born."
"In ordinary people, as long as conditions permit, it will take a hundred days to give birth to a child. Our current conditions are still very difficult, and there is not so much to talk about. However, the gifts that should be given must still be given. This is our Anti-Japanese League Your child, whether you are your leader or an elder, this gift must be given to you."
Huang Dali, who knew that Yang Zhen's daily life was simple and had no money, quickly waved his hand and said: "No. 1, I can ask you for a gift. I just want you to help give the child a name. You know, I am He is a rough guy. His limited education was learned in the army. His current level is that he can barely read newspapers and understand maps."
"As for choosing a name, I have a lot of trouble. You are a college student. In the past, you were the number one scholar. You were able to lead us to escape from the Japanese concentration camp under such difficult circumstances. Now I also believe that you will definitely give us a name. Give your child a nice name."
Yang Zhen couldn't help but blush at Huang Dali's request. He was a bachelor himself, so how could he name his child? But seeing Huang Dali's expectant eyes, Yang Zhen couldn't refuse. After hesitating for a long time, Yang Zhen Zhencai said: "I don't know what name to give. Let's just call it Huang Ning, whether it's a boy or a girl. I hope that in the future, the child will not be like our generation and can live a peaceful life."
Having said this, Yang Zhen paused and said: "No matter how many decades later, no one can remember our bloody battle and dedication today, I still hope that our descendants can live a peaceful life. I once It has been said that defending the peace and dignity of the motherland and preventing our descendants from being invaded by foreign countries is exactly the goal of our bloody fight today."
