Unparalleled Warriors of Anti-Japanese War

It is clear that He Zhengdao's return to Yan'an this time is to deal with personal life-long events, and to participate in the upcoming military and political conference.After this meeting, He Zhengdao will also be officially promoted to an alternate member of the Central Committee.

With this status as an alternate member of the party, He Zhengdao can also be regarded as one of the important members of the party.Coupled with his position and prestige in the army, Chen Geng, as a senior, also understands that the young man in front of him has a bright future!

As Xu Hao personally represented He Zhengdao to invite the division leaders of those security divisions, everyone would naturally not refuse.As the chief of staff, Yuan Yubo has always been very enthusiastic about the people from the old army.

Naturally, he would not refuse to have dinner with the old Chief He Zhengdao.As the chief of staff of the guard division, although his rank is not low.But compared to the level of He Zhengdao and Chen Geng in the party, he is naturally far inferior.

It can be said that as a main head of the former reconnaissance brigade, he can hold such an important position.There is still an inseparable relationship with He Zhengdao's support.If there is no such relationship, it is estimated that Yuan Yubo would not be the chief of staff.

As the lunch time came, the officers and soldiers of the guard division who finished training arrived at the cafeteria one after another to eat.Looking at the meals in the cafeteria today, there are a lot of braised pork, I feel a little surprised, and I am very curious about why there is a sudden addition to the meal today.

The cook who was in charge of the spoon also said in a timely manner: "This is specially sent by the teacher, and the teacher ordered an extra meal at noon today. I just ate this meal, and I will eat vegetarian dishes in the next few days. "

It's not enough for a fat pig to be made into braised pork, and it's not enough for Ruo Da's guards.Fortunately, Chen Geng knew that the officers and soldiers would also feel very happy if they gave some surprises occasionally.

The extra meals that are usually only available during New Years and holidays suddenly come once in a while, and the officers and soldiers are naturally happy.Since He Zhengdao is willing to pay for extra meals for the troops under his command, naturally he, the commander, can't be too stingy.

What's more, most of the pork purchased by the guards today is raised on military farms.The price is much cheaper than buying from the market.The construction of the Army Reclamation Farm did solve many logistics problems of the Eighth Route Army.

While the officers and soldiers of the guard division were enjoying the rare extra meal, He Zhengdao and the division leaders of the guard division also sat in a separate vacated room to eat.Even He Zhengdao was very enthusiastic and asked Xu Hao to bring two bottles of wine over.

According to the list of wedding invitations, only the commander and the political commissar of the guard division are eligible to attend He Zhengdao's wedding banquet.Even if Yuan Yubo was an old subordinate and the chief of staff of the guard division, he was not on the invitation list either.

It's not that He Zhengdao doesn't want to hire more people, but that's the rule.Most of the people who will attend the wedding banquet will be military and political officials from all over the country. Chiefs of staff like Yuan Yubo still need to stay in the army on duty.

As a unit that needs to be on duty for many years, the guard division needs to have division-level leaders on duty at all times.In this way, any unexpected situation can be dealt with in time.

Not to mention Yuan Yubo, even Zhang Cheng and others who are far away in Henan are not on the list invited by He Zhengdao.The central government and the headquarters also hope to take advantage of He Zhengdao's wedding banquet to entertain the heroes who have returned from various places.

It can be said that this can also be regarded as the military and political leaders who returned to Yan'an for a meeting, and took advantage of He Zhengdao's wedding banquet to have a meal together.Naturally, there will not be too many people who are qualified to participate in this kind of dinner.

Except that the leader of the security division on duty today cannot drink alcohol, Chen Geng, Yuan Yubo and others can naturally have a few drinks with He Zhengdao.Although the army is not suitable for drinking alcohol, it is not a problem to have a few drinks once in a while.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of eating, He Zhengdao also introduced the situation in Central China to Chen Geng and others.Telling them this will also help to increase their understanding and judgment of the current situation.

Despite holding such an important position, for soldiers of this era, they are still eager to have the opportunity to command operations on the battlefield in person.But this hope is unlikely to be realized in the short term.

Compared with the leadership transfer of other main combat forces, the appointment of the guard division must be approved by the central government.This also means that people like Chen Geng and Yuan Yubo still need to wait patiently for a period of time before they want to take charge of the troops.

But often being able to deal with the heads of the central government is still very helpful for their future promotion in the party and the army!This can be regarded as a gain and a loss! (To be continued.)

Chapter 666 Roasted Whole Lamb Feast!

After finishing the meal with the leaders of the security division, He Zhengdao did not stay in the security division too much.He Zhengdao also expressed his gratitude to the guards and soldiers who returned to Yan'an with him, and these soldiers were naturally very grateful.

With the promotion of his position, He Zhengdao also gradually felt that his aura was increasing.Even if he wants to mingle with ordinary fighters, for those ordinary fighters, sitting and communicating with him still has to bear a lot of pressure.

Now that the dinner was over, He Zhengdao, who was going to be busy with the evening reception in the afternoon, brought only a few members of the Saber Special Forces.As for the soldiers of the other guard battalions, they naturally stayed in the guard division to rest.

When the time is right, He Zhengdao will also send these people to Yulin one step ahead of time to be responsible for the preparation of the Northeast combat troops.It's just that He Zhengdao is actually quite curious about who he will form a team with in the future.

From the conversation with *** and Boss Zhu in the morning, He Zhengdao could feel that both of them agreed with him.He Zhengdao even hoped that the Northeast Bureau would be established in the future, and he would be responsible for and leading the operations and construction of the Northeast.

Then it is conceivable that those who can form a team with him must have a certain prestige in the party and the army.As for who will be considered by the central government and the headquarters in the end, this is not something that He Zhengdao can consider.

At least he hopes that the next person who will form a team with him should be someone who can talk.If he sent a person with normal relations to form a team, He Zhengdao was also worried that it would affect the preparations for the rapid formation of the army.

Although he led the New 67th Army southward, he still retained two main divisions in Yulin and Suiyuan.But He Zhengdao understood that it was somewhat insufficient to form an army to march into the Northeast with only two main divisions.

The size of the future Northeast Column must reach at least 10 people.Without so many troops, it is undoubtedly difficult to compete with the Kwantung Army.In addition, the armored brigade currently training in Suiyuan will also be incorporated into the Northeast Column.

He Zhengdao, who returned to his residence, asked about Chen Siya's whereabouts.Knowing that Chen Siya happened to be at home, she asked for leave today and did not go to work.He Zhengdao also quickly ran to Chen's house and brought Chen Siya back to his new home.

Looking at Chen Siya, who was still walking swiftly, He Zhengdao also asked with concern when he was alone: ​​"How is it? Does it still hurt?"

'You still say!When I went home today, my mother would laugh at me to death.However, after eating breakfast and doing some activities, it is no longer a serious problem.Alright, you are in charge of the family affairs, I will invite those elder sisters over! '

'Okay, I'll let the guards go with you, and I'll take care of the mess at home.In the evening, there will be a whole sheep banquet, and the bought and slaughtered lamb must be marinated in advance.In addition, the stove, charcoal, tables, chairs and benches should also be prepared. '

There are quite a lot of people who came to the party tonight. If He Zhengdao and Chen Siya were the only ones to prepare, it would be a bit overwhelming.This meal is not only a banquet for thanking the media, but also a banquet for moving to a new house.

When He Zhengdao returns to Yan'an in the future, he doesn't need to go to the army to recruit.As a senior commander of the Eighth Route Army, He Zhengdao officially has a home and residence in Yan'an, and he has a fixed foothold in Yan'an.

As the main course of tonight's reception, the roasted whole lamb was naturally marinated by He Zhengdao himself.Considering that there should be a lot of people coming tonight, He Zhengdao specially asked the guards to buy two sheep as the main course of the barbecue.

As for other haggis and sheep's head, He Zhengdao naturally wouldn't waste them. After cleaning them up, they would directly stew them in a large pot to make soup.In the evening, you can also cook some pasta such as gnocchi with mutton soup to fill your stomach.

Xu Hao and others who were brought home by He Zhengdao naturally helped.There are not enough tables, chairs and benches at home, so they need to borrow them from the canteen of the military recruitment office.For a moment, the whole yard seemed very lively.

On the other hand, Chen Siya, who was accompanied by the guards, was like a young daughter-in-law who had just passed through the door, and sent invitations to the homes of the chiefs who arranged marriages for her.Those enthusiastic elder sisters would naturally not refuse such an invitation when they heard of it.

All the way through the invitation, Chen Siya also suddenly realized that she seemed to have a lot of people to thank.In this way, the yard in front of my cave dwelling will probably be as lively as a wedding banquet tonight.

Thinking about the day when the two get married in the future, it is estimated that there will be more guests.Chen Siya also really realized that becoming He Zhengdao's wife is indeed a lot of pressure.From now on, she and the heads' wives will basically have the same identity.

When Chen Siya returned home, she looked at the yard where many tables and chairs had been placed, and He Zhengdao who was cooking soup, and said curiously: "Zhengdao, I just calculated, the people who come to dinner tonight, I'm afraid there are nearly a hundred people!"

'It's okay, there are more people and it looks a little more lively.In this weather, eating some mutton and drinking some mutton soup can also nourish you.After all, for us tonight, it is both a media thank-you banquet and a housewarming banquet. The large number of people shows that we are popular! '

After replying to Chen Siya with a smile, He Zhengdao also prepared the food for dinner.When it was still dark, Sister He and Sister Deng first appeared in front of He Zhengdao's cave.

Seeing the wives of these heads arrive, He Zhengdao also stepped forward to welcome them in person.Looking at the neatly arranged tables and chairs in the yard, all the ladies also felt that it would be fun to come here tonight.

Elder Sister He said enthusiastically, "Zhengdao, there are a lot of people here tonight, do you want us to help?"

'Thank you, Sister He!Everything is almost ready. After the chiefs come over, drink haggis soup to warm your stomach.As for tonight's main course, roasted whole lamb, I've marinated it for hours and it's almost ready to roast now.

It's the first time I have such a banquet, and I don't know how to do it.However, now that the weather has turned cold, eating more mutton is also good for physical and mental health.In the mutton soup, I also specially put some medicinal materials, and now I think I can drink it.

If you don't dislike it, how about trying my craft?This soup has added a few medicinal herbs, and drinking more will also have the effect of nourishing and beautifying the skin.I killed two sheep today and made a lot of soup! '

The elder sisters who heard this immediately asked curiously: "You still understand this? Did you make all the food tonight?"

'yes!Before joining the revolution, my master and I traveled around and did a lot of things like roasting whole lamb.As for this nourishing mutton soup, it was also taught to me by my master.However, whether the effect is good or not, you have to drink it to know! '

Under the warm invitation of He Zhengdao, all the elder sisters saw that He Zhengdao had prepared everything.In addition to the two roasted whole lambs that were slowly turning on the grill, there were also quite a few bits and pieces of skewered meat.

In short, tonight is just eating barbecue. In this kind of cold weather, it seems a bit lively.Most importantly, the soup boiled in those two big pots really made people who entered the yard smell the tangy aroma.

Seeing some red dates, wolfberries and the like rolled in the pot, the elder sisters seemed to be a little moved.And He Zhengdao was not idle, and quickly asked the guards to find the bowls and chopsticks, and personally delivered a bowl of hot soup to each eldest sister.

Looking at the steaming hot mutton soup, the heads' wives who came earlier took a sip.Not long after, Zhou Enlai's wife, Sister Deng, said, "Well, Xiao He, why doesn't your soup have a fishy smell?"

Sister Deng, who usually cooks soup with mutton at home, is really surprised that the soup in the bowl has no fishy smell.In the past, Sister Deng didn't like this kind of soup very much, but today she found that this soup has a different taste.

He Zhengdao, who listened to the inquiry, smiled and said: "Some medicinal materials and ingredients are added to the soup. If it is cooked with mutton, it can also play a role in removing fishy smell. If you like to drink it, I will share the tips for making soup later. say something.

In winter, if you have time, you can also buy some mutton at home to experiment.Whether it is making soup or cooking, adding those ingredients can effectively remove the fishy smell of mutton! "
