Unparalleled Warriors of Anti-Japanese War

Even in order to train the foreign language abilities of these special forces members, He Zhengdao specially recruited some language experts who were teaching at Yan'an University from Yan'an.Most of these experts have the experience of studying abroad, and foreign languages ​​are naturally not a problem.

What's more, He Zhengdao himself is a language expert.As a former instructor of the National Security Forces, He Zhengdao would not be able to find a comparable language in the entire party and army.

Along with the delegation, they began to go to Yan'an with the guard group. Originally, some representatives proposed to come up with the headquarters of the new 67th Army.After all, these U.S. military representatives from Chongqing know that the new 67th Army is very powerful.

This unit is also the closest unit to the current national army * unit, and during the Wuhan battle, it also played a dazzling record.Today in Central China, the prestige of this army among the people is also very high.

The U.S. military representatives even knew that the actual builder of this force was He Zhengdao, whom they wanted to contact very much during this trip.Among the many generals of the Eighth Route Army, the youngest national general with outstanding military exploits.

Regarding the proposal of the U.S. military representative, Xu Zhen also said directly: "General Sam, I don't recommend that you visit my military headquarters right now. Firstly, our military headquarters does not have a fixed headquarters, so it is not easy to find it. .

Secondly, it is also to ensure the safety of everyone, according to the information learned by our intelligence department.From the moment you set foot on the journey, the intelligence troops of the Japanese army will inquire about your whereabouts.Going to our military garrison will also cause certain troubles.

After all, all representatives know that our army's air defense force is not strong at present.Once the Japanese army knows your itinerary, not only will the safety of your representatives not be guaranteed, it will also affect the safety of our military headquarters.

If you representatives want to visit our military headquarters, you may be able to arrange it when you return from this trip.Now, I still hope to come as soon as possible.The sooner you arrive in Yan'an, the safer you may be! "

When he heard about his own safety issues, Major General Sam also said directly: "OK, I think Colonel Xu's suggestion is very worthy of approval. This is still in a war zone, and going to their military headquarters rashly will also bring them trouble.

Should we visit Yan'an this time, or arrive in Shaanxi as soon as possible, then maybe we will be much safer.What's more, the General He you want to see is said to no longer serve here, right? "

"The General He mentioned by General Sam should be our old army commander, right?"He is indeed not here, and now he is in charge of the war in the Northeast.However, if we can arrive in Yan'an as soon as possible, maybe you can have a chance to meet him? '

'Really?Is your General He in Yan'an now? '

Soldiers of any country worship heroes.And war heroes like He Zhengdao are naturally admired by the US military with heroism.In their view, such a young general is undoubtedly a hero.

What's more, with the Eighth Route Army's war in the Northeast, it once again achieved impressive results.Not to mention the recovery of the entire Rehe area in one fell swoop, even Shanhaiguan was also recovered by the Eighth Route Army.This is an unbelievable thing!

And the one who commanded the troops to achieve these victories was undoubtedly He Zhengdao, the young red warrior.Even many foreign generals want to know what kind of miraculous young man this young red general is.

Regarding the joy of these US military representatives, Xu Zhen also nodded and said: "Yes! The record on the front line tends to ease, and my old army commander has also been ordered to report back to Yan'an. If there is no accident, he should stay in Yan'an for a while .

Of course, if the battle on the front line changes, he may leave for the front line again.After all, he is the frontline commander, and it is not good to stay in the rear for too long.Therefore, if you want to see my old army commander, you can only speed up your journey. "

'ok!Colonel Xu, let's set off as soon as possible! '

It is clear that this visit to Yan'an and the meeting with the leaders of Yan'an are also the tasks of the delegation.But when the delegation came, they were also assigned by the president and the parliament, hoping to get in touch with He Zhengdao.

Even many foreign governments know that the Eighth Route Army is somewhat different from the national government, and more people in charge of political affairs hold the power.But they also hope to get in touch with and understand such a young general who holds a heavy army.

After all, the outside world is not able to collect much information about He Zhengdao, and what is this young red warrior like.Many foreigners are very curious and eager to see what a real person looks like.

Seeing how the young US military officers in these delegations worshiped their old chief.The officers and soldiers of the guard regiment also felt that the reputation of their old chief had now spread abroad!

After entering the border of Henan from Hubei by car, some accompanying US military reporters also visited the resting villages from time to time.Seeing these foreign devils, many people were also surprised.

But for the journalists' visits, the guards performing protection tasks did not stop them.After all, most of the villages that they can choose as resting places are fortress villages of the Eighth Route Army, and these villagers are very supportive of the Eighth Route Army.

Such support also left a deep impression on the delegation.What surprised the delegation the most was that the security regiment that performed the security task for them would do some farm work for the villagers when they entered the village.

Faced with such a situation, Major General Sam also asked curiously: "Colonel Xu, you are a soldier, why do you do such a thing? Are you doing these things to win the support of these people?"

Regarding such incomprehension and curiosity, Xu Zhen did not hide it: "General Sam, if you have some understanding of our military's policies, I believe you will understand that what we do is just what we think should be done, not to gain support. .

We are the soldiers of the people, and our officers and soldiers are all from ordinary peasants. We know very well that these people's life is not easy.Now that so many of us are stationed in the village, the villagers are also very enthusiastic about our arrival.

But no matter what, we also caused them some troubles and troubles.In order to express our apology, we use this method as a kind of return to them.Doing so can also shorten the distance between us and the villagers.

I know that you Americans have always emphasized democracy, autonomy and equality.In fact, we also talk about democracy and equality.In the army, we emphasize the equality of officers and soldiers.We also pay attention to equal treatment when dealing with these people! "

Such words really surprised Major General Sam.But through such details, he can somewhat see that the support of the Eighth Route Army in the liberated areas is obviously higher than that in the current Kuomintang-controlled areas.

As Xu Zhen said, the United States is a country that emphasizes democracy and freedom.But at the end of the day, their president is also chosen by a vote of choice.And how to get the support of voters is actually an important basis for whether you can be elected.

And Major General Sam also knows that China is a poor and backward country today.In this country, the largest number is not the bureaucratic class, nor the working class, but these ordinary people.

If you can get the support of these grassroots people, then whoever will get the most support.Even the elections in China are a little different from those in the United States.But some principles are still universal, whoever has more supporters will win in the end.

Even in terms of being protected, Major General Sam could see that the troops in front of them for security protection were very elite and good at fighting.Many soldiers are very rigorous and serious in the process of carrying out their tasks.

And what surprised Major General Sam the most was that Xu Zhen was not the only one in this guard who could speak English.Even some officers and soldiers can only communicate in simple English, but this is also rare in the National Army.

Through the observation of these details, Major General Sam also really realized.Compared with the determination of the Eighth Route Army to forge ahead, today's Nationalist Army troops seem to be somewhat low in morale and lifeless.

What surprised Major General Sam the most was that the officers of the Eighth Route Army ate and slept with the soldiers during the mission.This kind of hard and simple style is almost impossible to see in the national army.

In contrast to the two, Major General Sam is naturally even more pessimistic about the future of the National Government!

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Those who win the hearts of the people win the world, and many people know this truth.But it is not an easy task to win over people's hearts.It is said that ordinary people are easy to be fooled, but they don't know that ordinary people can't stand being fooled the most.

Some things may be fooled for a while, but never fooled forever.Many people in the Liberated Areas, when they first came into contact with the Eighth Route Army, felt that the Eighth Route Army was carrying water, chopping firewood and repairing houses for them, which seemed more like a show.

But as time went on, every Eighth Route Army team that had been to the village would repeat this kind of thing.Many ordinary people know that the army that can persist in this kind of thing really deserves their support and support.

In addition, the democratic governments in the Liberated Areas have successively implemented the policy of dividing land and land, which has indeed won the support of many people.As for the landlords of those large landowners, they also dare not cooperate under such circumstances.

Those who actively cooperate may even get some preferential policies from the government.If they refuse to cooperate, the newly formed democratic government will also forcibly promote the land distribution policy.The more land, the heavier the corresponding tax.

According to the policy implemented by He Zhengdao in Yulin, that is, "Landlords who are willing to take the initiative to sell their land to the government can have the priority to obtain the right to buy shares in factories and mines, and can also get some preferential treatment in terms of policies and taxes."

If the landlords refused to cooperate with the government's purchase of land, the Eighth Route Army would not forcibly confiscate their fields.However, any acres of land that exceed the per capita quota will be subject to heavy taxes.This kind of heavy tax often makes these landlords lose their money. '

In this case, as long as the landowners are not stupid, they will know that there is no benefit in going against the government.On the contrary, if you cooperate with the policies implemented by the government, you may be able to obtain more benefits and benefits.

At least many landlords in the Liberated Areas know that many landlords in Yulin used to buy shares in factories supported by the government, and now the wealth they can share every year is much higher than what they used to collect for farming.

At present, many of the shops opened in counties and towns in the liberated areas are contracted by landlords who have changed production.Relying on the support policies given by the government, the life of these landlords is no worse than before.

Of course, everything is impossible to be absolute, and everyone can be taken care of.For many landowners who are attached to the land, they are reluctant to give up the land even if they die, and they just want to hold the land firmly in their own hands.

In the face of these diehards, He Zhengdao's attitude is also very simple, that is, ignore them.But when it comes time to collect taxes every year, if you dare to refuse to pay the corresponding field tax, the government will also implement strict compulsory policies.

If you don't want to do business but still want land, the government will also give you a choice.That is, let these landlords go to some grassland areas such as Suiyuan, let them contract fields, and let them become farmers.

There is so much land here, I'm afraid no one will come to cultivate it.But for many landlords who have dealt with the land all their lives, this may not be a choice.During the contract period, those lands are in their final say.

Whether they planted their own crops or hired people to be their tenants, the Eighth Route Army would not pay too much attention to them.Moreover, the corresponding taxes will not be as strict as those implemented in other liberated areas.In general, it is also a profitable business.

It was this diverse governance philosophy that made many landlords gradually let go of their resistance to the Eighth Route Army.They also know that as long as they abide by the policies of the Eighth Route Army, the Eighth Route Army is not as terrifying as they imagined.

In contrast, some landlords living in the Kuomintang-controlled areas today, although they still continue their previous lives, relying on the exploitation of tenants to survive and make profits.But at the time of the national crisis, officials in the Kuomintang-controlled area also did not give them much preferential treatment.

Asking them for food and money every now and then also made their life miserable.The only reason they feel that they can get along is that they also have someone to bully, and that is the tenants who are poorer and more miserable than them.

The U.S. military delegation walking all the way from Chongqing could see the people living in the Eighth Route Army’s liberated areas. Although the clothes were worse than those in the Kuomintang-controlled areas, the food seemed to be not very good.
