Hundreds of millions of cloud explosive bombs were fired at the beginning, and horses were riding on

Zhang Yunqing saluted, and at the same time, other cadres around him were also saluting.

This is the chief of staff of the headquarters, a general-like figure.

I think Zhang Yunqing was also a pillar of the Red Army back then, and Zhang Yunqing happened to be in the Red Army.

The last time the chief of staff saw Zhang Yunqing was probably five or six years ago...

Although it has been a long time, I still remember Zhang Yunqing's appearance. After all, Zhang Yunqing was also a fierce general in the Red Army, and many leaders knew it...

When I saw it today, it felt like I was back to the days when I was living a hard life...

Walking on snowy mountains, crossing grasslands, eating tree roots...

"Yunqing...it must have been many years since we last met...it's still the same as before..."

"I didn't expect that you would achieve such great results after returning from studying in the Soviet Union..."

The chief of staff has always been in the south, mainly coordinating issues between the New Fourth Army and the National Government. He rarely appears at the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, and usually only communicates by telegraph.

In this year, he came back twice, and each time he heard the news that Zhang Yunqing led his men to achieve great victory. As Zhang Yunqing's old leader, he was also very pleased.

Not only was he relieved, but he was also shocked, especially when he heard the vice president say that Zhang Yunqing's troops now numbered 20,000 people.

The equipment is even better than that of the Japs, including submachine guns, mortars, mountain cannons, and heavy artillery.

There are tanks, there are light armored vehicles, there are airplanes.

This time, the chief of staff's curiosity was directly aroused. He had never seen such a unit in the Eighth Route Army. Without any proof, he came up with the idea of ​​​​visiting the Independent Division.

"I happened to meet Director Luo when I came here. He admires you very much..."

"Tell me, if I see you Yun Qing, I must say hello to him."

The chief of staff stepped forward and held Zhang Yunqing's hand.

Both of them had calluses on their hands, which also showed that they were both on the battlefield.

Director Luo has always been Zhang Yunqing's old leader and a representative figure of the 115th Division. He is very easy-going and is the leader in political commissar work.

No matter who cooperates with him, they are full of praise...

Zhao Gang is like Director Luo's pro-student, which is why Zhang Yunqing has always supported Zhao Gang as the political commissar of the First Independent Division.

In terms of level, there is no problem for Zhang Yunqing to be the commander of the First Independent Division. After all, the level of the First Independent Division is only equivalent to a brigade...

Zhang Yunqing was previously the division commander of a division of the Red Army, and the classmates who went to study in the Soviet Union with him are now deputy brigade commanders...

But Zhao Gang was different. He had just graduated from the Anti-Japanese Military and Political University. He was young and had been a political commissar for less than a year.

In this short period of less than a year, the New Second Regiment was directly upgraded to two levels, from an ordinary regiment to an independent brigade, and now to an independent division. Zhao Gang benefited the most.

However, the vice president said something well, that is, Zhao Gang's character is indeed compatible with Zhang Yunqing.

Zhang Yunqing is also willing to continue to partner with Zhao Gang.

"Chief of Staff...Long time no see...You are still the same as before..."

Zhang Yunqing was quite excited. The person who made him so excited last time was the vice president, and now it was another person.

Although there is some intersection between the two in their memories, as someone who has traveled through time in later generations, it is like meeting an old hero. The soldiers are all heroes, and these people are the heroes among heroes.

He is still only the chief of staff now. If he can see Mr. Yongzhi and Mr. Xiangyu then, Zhang Yunqing will be even more excited...

"As soon as the vice president told me that you were coming, I was making preparations..."

"It's been a long journey, Chief of Staff... let's go in and rest first..."

"The food has been prepared... just in time for the soldiers to eat well..."

Zhang Yunqing chatted for a while and said, after all, the chief of staff had been traveling for several days, and he had to maintain a tense state at all times to prevent encountering Japanese.

It's now exactly noon, the cooking team has prepared everything, and all the soldiers have gathered.

As soon as the chief of staff came in, he was frightened by the buildings in Juanyugou.

I saw tall buildings like those in the county town everywhere, all made of bricks...

You know, most of the current Eighth Route Army troops still live in the same mud-roof houses...

Some of the houses in Juanyugou are not only Shanxi-specific large courtyard houses, but also some Soviet-style houses...

It looks very beautiful....

Going inside again, the chief of staff even saw the hospital. The hospital was even bigger, much bigger than the Japanese Hospital in Taiyuan County...

This undoubtedly made the chief of staff even more shocked.

Then Zhang Yunqing led everyone to the cafeteria.

There are many canteens in the First Independent Division. After all, there are also a lot of soldiers now, a full 20,000.

They came to one of the smaller canteens. This was also to allow the soldiers to have better contact with the chief of staff...

I saw that the dishes on the table were still those prepared when the vice president came before.

After the chief of staff saw it, he smiled and said: "No wonder the vice president keeps saying that the food of your independent division is good. It turns out to be like this..."

"I took a look just now. Your soldiers have meat to eat. Look how tough they are..."

"My face is all red..."

"He looks like a warrior who can fight Japanese enemies..."

What the chief of staff said was indeed correct, because even the soldiers at the headquarters had yellow faces.

It is perfectly possible to use the yellow complexion and thin muscles on the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army...

After all, three meals a day are not guaranteed. Sometimes we can’t even drink millet porridge, so we can only eat wild vegetables or other staple foods...

They also want to eat meat, but circumstances don't allow it...

Don't take a stitch from the masses, don't fight or rob, only rely on farming your own land, and rely on robbing the Japanese and puppet troops to survive...

This is the hardship....

After Zhang Yunqing heard this, he said: "Chief of Staff, the soldiers of the First Independent Division eat something like this every day..."

"Even the Japanese take their food very seriously..."

"Most of our troops are not as good as them... so the First Independent Division took the lead in implementing this policy..."

"This time the First Independent Division is established, and it's going to be winter soon. We plan to give the headquarters 20 yuan!"

"In addition, there are 400 million kilograms of grain and 40 boxes of canned beef! 10 Type infantry guns!"

"Let our soldiers have a good year!"
