In this way, the ordinary people who hid in various air-raid shelters also came out of the air-raid shelters one after another.Many people and merchants living in the commercial streets of Yan'an City seemed to be relieved to see the intact houses and shops.

What moved them even more was the Eighth Route Army soldiers patrolling the streets.Compared with them hiding in the air-raid shelter, these fighters staying outside are undoubtedly more dangerous!

As the people returned home one after another, many people looked at the still smoking Phoenix Mountain and the direction of Yangjialing.Little do you know that these two places were bombed by the little devil's plane this time.

Before, the people who felt somewhat dissatisfied when the Eighth Route Army moved them out from Yangjialing and Fenghuang Mountain suddenly felt very lucky again.If they lived there, what would it be like now?

Mao Taizu and others who also walked out of the air-raid shelter looked at Yangjialing after the bombing, and many yards in front of the cave dwellings had a large hole.Even the front of some cave dwellings was buried by the collapsed earth and rocks.

Such a post-war scene made many central leaders feel that the air-raid shelter that He Zhengdao strongly recommended to build was really necessary.If you really want to hide in this kind of cave dwelling, the consequences are really uncertain!

For these cave dwellings that have collapsed or damaged many buildings, the officers and soldiers of the guard division are rushing to clean them up.After turning around, all the chiefs found that their losses were actually not that great.

The only thing that was a little angry was the courtyard where the five elders of Yan'an lived.Seeing the hard-working vegetable fields almost destroyed by an aerial bomb, the old people looked very angry.

'Is this little devil burning too much money?The old man worked hard to grow and order vegetables, is it easy?Blow up our vegetable garden, does this vegetable garden have any enmity with them? '

He Zhengdao, who was also accompanying the inspection of the damage, could only comfort with a smile after hearing what the old people said: "Few old men, don't be too sad. After the explosion, the land for planting vegetables in the spring of next year will definitely be more fertile.

However, when you grow vegetables in the future, you should also be careful to clean up the shrapnel in the ground.I think digging out these shrapnel should be enough to pay for the vegetables in your vegetable garden.You little devil, you are quite kind! "

A joke made everyone laugh.It's just that not long after, Chen Geng, who went to Phoenix Mountain for inspection, looked somewhat sad.Seeing his expression, everyone knew that the air defense battalion had suffered a lot.

Mao Taizu even said directly: "Chen Geng, what's the situation of the losses in the air defense battalion?"

Faced with such an inquiry, Chen Geng said sadly: "The anti-aircraft machine gun battalion sacrificed 42 people and injured 56 people. Only eight of the anti-aircraft machine guns equipped are still usable, and the other anti-aircraft machine guns have been blown up. .

As for the anti-aircraft artillery battalion, 36 people were sacrificed and 47 people were slightly or seriously injured.One anti-aircraft gun was damaged, and the other anti-aircraft guns retreated in time and were still preserved.But the ammunition reserves of the two air defense battalions were almost exhausted. "

Hearing such battle damage, Boss Zhu also knew what it meant to the guards.He let out a long sigh and said, "Hey, this is considered to kill one thousand enemies and lose eight hundred. It seems that in the future, we must find a way to capture more anti-aircraft weapons!"

Having said that, as far as the current situation is concerned, most of the air defense weapons equipped by the Japanese army are concentrated at the airport.As for Huaxia's anti-Japanese troops, even if they have these air defense weapons, sometimes they are more of a display.

After all, when air defense weapons confront aircraft head-on, the air defense side suffers.Not every officer and soldier who uses anti-aircraft weapons can calmly aim and shoot in the face of the diving fire of the little devil's plane!

After hearing the losses caused by the bombing, all the chiefs who walked out of the air-raid shelter felt that the air-raid facilities that He Zhengdao advocated before, as well as the air-raid shelter built in Fenghuang Mountain, seemed to be too effective now. ●⌒,

Not to mention how many little devil planes were destroyed this time, such a large-scale bombing only lost some cave dwellings that were quickly repaired in the base area.Even the commercial street, which has been worrying for a long time, is still intact, which is incredible.

Most importantly, although this battle caused more than 200 air defense casualties.To the great relief of Mao Taizu and others, no civilian was killed in the bombing.This means that the bombing will not cause panic among the people.

Even through the Yan'an bombing incident, the people living in Yan'an City clearly understood the painstaking efforts of the Eighth Route Army to organize exercises some time ago.If they don't evade in time, it is estimated that many of them will be killed by the little devil today.

Knowing that nearly a hundred officers and soldiers died in the guard division, these ordinary people really realized that the war is so close to them.Originally, these soldiers could hide in the air-raid shelter, but in the end they still desperately entangled the little devil's plane.

It was the heroism of these sacrificed officers and soldiers that made the little devil's bombing fall by the wayside.If it weren't for the hard work of these soldiers, I am afraid that many of their people living in Yan'an City will face the situation of losing their homes at this moment.

Faced with the gratitude of these people, He Zhengdao suggested: "Chairman, Commander-in-Chief, I hope to build a martyr cemetery in Yan'an to commemorate these officers and soldiers who died. Let future generations and our officers and soldiers remember their sacrifices in the War of Resistance. bravery.

In the eyes of many people, the lives of soldiers are cheap, but we must not forget them.I also hope that when there is peace in the future, the soldiers and civilians who enjoy the atmosphere of peace will not forget what they have done to the people and the country today.

In the past, many people questioned me building cemeteries and cemeteries for these soldiers in the Yulin base area, and felt that it was a bit too wasteful.But who knows, when I think back to those comrades who died in the Long March, my heart is pierced many times.

I don't care what other people think of these ordinary soldiers, but I don't think I'm any different from them.If I really want to say it is different, it means that my current position is different from theirs.But it was still these ordinary soldiers who really went into battle to kill the enemy.

On the anti-Japanese battlefield in the future, we will have tens of thousands of soldiers fighting bloody battles.Maybe we couldn't give them too much in life.But I hope that we can give them a death consolation after they die! "

Looking at He Zhengdao, who rarely showed sadness, many generals who participated in the Long March standing beside him also felt a little sour in their eyes.Even the deputy commander who was as strong as Boss Peng soon had red eyes.

As He Zhengdao said, compared with ordinary warlord troops, the Eighth Route Army treated ordinary soldiers more favorably, and gave more care in terms of personal dignity.But many people died in battle, most of them were buried hastily.

Especially on the road of the Long March, many soldiers could not find the corpses at all, and there was no time to collect them.Sometimes, even the wish to set up a monument for them, I'm afraid I can't do it.

Sometimes, many people say that the independent column is monolithic. From a few main division commanders to ordinary soldiers, they often agree with He Zhengdao.But he didn't know that He Zhengdao understood these ordinary fighters better and what they wanted.

For them, they may understand some of the righteousness of the country, and they may understand the principles of resisting Japan and saving the nation.But the reason why they respect He Zhengdao is more because they know that even if they die, they will still have a chance to be famous forever.

Even in the current independent column, recruits have to receive a revolutionary education after completing three months of training.The place to educate them is the martyrs cemetery that is cleaned by special personnel.

Some people have also said before that only the independent column has the wealth and wealth to build tombs and monuments for these sacrificed soldiers.After all, sometimes when a battle is fought and more soldiers are killed, it will cost a lot of money.

If it is a local soldier in Shaanxi, a certain pension needs to be paid after his sacrifice.Normally, the remains of these fighters are returned to their families.But in the independent column, such regulations are not enforced.

If a soldier whose family is not in the Shaanxi base dies, the independent column will bury him in the built martyr cemetery, and set up a monument for him to explain where he was from, when he was born and why he died.

In the words of He Zhengdao to the officers of the main divisions: "These old soldiers fought with us from the Long March to this place. Now the army is in turmoil. We can't find their families, and we can't send their remains home.

But after peace in the future, we will also send people to find their families for them.Let their families know that they are buried here.They sacrificed for national liberation and national independence. They are heroes of China! "

As soon as He Zhengdao made this suggestion, Boss Zhu quickly said: "I agree! You boy, alas!"

Boss Zhu, who originally wanted to say a few more words, felt so sad when he thought of those soldiers who died during the Long March!It's just that mentioning such a thing at this time is somewhat like adding salt to the wound.

On the other hand, Mao Taizu also nodded and said: "Yes! After leaving the Jiangnan Soviet Area, our Red Army had more than 8 people. When we arrived in Zunyi, there were only 2 to [-] people left, and most of the rest of the soldiers were bloody on the Long March.

Rest assured, our party and our army will never forget them.Besides building a cemetery, do you have any suggestions?It just so happens that all of you military leaders are here, so let this regulation be included in our army's post-war resettlement regulations!

Perhaps with our current conditions, it is still impossible to purchase a good coffin for every officer and soldier who died, but we are still capable of giving them a cemetery and a tombstone.In terms of funds, the central government will try its best to raise funds. "

The teachers who heard this said immediately: "Thank you, Chairman! Thank you, Commander-in-Chief!"

As the generals who lead the army, why don't they know that for those soldiers who died.Maybe when they are alive, they don't enjoy any good treatment.But it is a great honor to have a cemetery and a tombstone after death!

Facing Mao Taizu's question, He Zhengdao also said seriously: "Thank you, Chairman, and Commander-in-Chief. I believe that doing so will be a great comfort to our army and to every ordinary soldier who will join our army in the future.

Maybe these people, they all came from ordinary backgrounds.But they sacrificed their lives for the country, and it is also an honor to die.Since they are soldiers of our party and our army, we should also do something for them.As for the rest, I have no suggestion.

If possible, I hope that I can attend when the Yan'an Martyrs Cemetery is completed.As the commander of this air battle, I need to give them an explanation for their sacrifices.Even if it's just to send them off for the last time, I can feel at ease! "

'OK, alright! '

On the other hand, Boss Zhu thought for a while and said: "Chairman, let someone find a better cemetery, and arrange this as soon as possible! It's rare that we military and political leaders are here this time. Let's take this opportunity to see them off together!"

But what others think and think, as the commander-in-chief of the Eighth Route Army, even if I have already disregarded life and death.But what Xiao He said today also made people feel very guilty.For these soldiers, we have done too little! "

'Commander-in-Chief!sorry!Perhaps I was too young to calmly deal with such commonplace things on the battlefield.But I just feel that they are my soldiers, and I am their commander, and I have the responsibility to handle their affairs well.

Maybe one day in the future, I will also fall on the battlefield.I also hope that in the future, after I fall, someone can build a tomb and a monument for me, so that future generations will know why I died.In this way, it is not in vain to come to this world for a walk! '

Hearing He Zhengdao's apology, Boss Zhu smiled and said: "You are the commander of the independent column, and I am the commander-in-chief of the Eighth Route Army! If you apologize, there is no need to say it. People's hearts are long, who can Really hard-hearted?

Your suggestion is very good, and it is believed to be a great spiritual encouragement for our party, our army and the people in the base areas.We may all be ordinary and insignificant, but we are determined and willing to sacrifice our lives for national independence and liberation.

No matter you, or me and the chairman, we all put our heads on the waistbands of our trousers from the day we embarked on the revolution.We may not be afraid of death, but we are afraid of being forgotten.We'd all be content if we had a tombstone after death to tell others what we've done! "
