On February 18, the transport plane transported these materials to the Yan'an base area, and now there are no air force units in the Yan'an base area.
Premier Zhou personally came to meet Li Ming, Li Ming got off the plane and the guards came to greet him, and the chairman then arrived, and the materials were all taken down with the help of the staff, Chairman Mao smiled and said, Li Ming, the first hero of our party, Enlai also said that the chairman was right, Mr. Li was meritorious, Zhu De, commander-in-chief of the Eighth Route Army, and then accompanied by Mr. Peng, He Long, the general political commissar of the Eighth Route Army, and the general political director of the 129th Division.
At that time, these generals were all military ranks Zhu De (commander-in-chief of the Eighth Route Army), Peng Dehuai (deputy commander-in-chief of the Eighth Route Army), Ye Jianying (chief of staff of the Eighth Route Army), Lin Biao (commander of the 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army, with the rank of major general in January 1938), He Long (commander of the 120th Division of the Eighth Route Army), Xiao Ke (deputy commander of the 120th Division of the Eighth Route Army), Liu Bocheng (commander of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army), Xuan Xiafu (general staff of the Eighth Route Army Headquarters), etc., were awarded the rank of lieutenant general.

There is such a relative principle on the issue of the military ranks of the generals of the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army: in principle, the military ranks awarded at the time of reorganization are not lower than the military ranks that some generals had before 1927 (including 1927), for example, Zhu De, Liu Bocheng, and He Long have won the rank of lieutenant general and general, and Ye Jianying, Ye Ting, and Xuan Xiafu have also had the rank of lieutenant general.
Commanders at all levels of the front line of the Eighth Route Army except for Lin Biao, Luo Binghui, Xu Haidong, Peng Xuefeng, Zhou Kun, etc., who have worn military ranks because of their work, almost none of the other generals have worn military rank badges, but this does not mean that our party does not recognize the military ranks at all levels temporarily awarded to the generals of our army by the history of the people.
In addition, some people have been temporarily awarded the corresponding military rank or the status of the corresponding military rank by the CCP itself because they need to deal with the Kuomintang or engage in united front work.
Among them: Senior staff members of the Eighth Route Army Headquarters: Xuan Xiafu (rank of lieutenant general), Zhou Suyuan (rank of major general), Tong Lusheng (rank of major general), Zhang Kewei (rank of major general), etc. Peng Xuefeng, director of the Taiyuan Office of the Eighth Route Army (with the rank of major general), Li Kenong, director of the Shanghai Office of the Eighth Route Army (with the rank of major general), Zhang Yunyi, director of the Guangzhou Office of the Eighth Route Army (with the rank of major general), Qian Zhiguang (with the rank of major general), Wang Lingbo, director of the Communications Office of the Eighth Route Army in Hunan (with the rank of colonel), and Wu Xiuquan, director of the Eighth Route Army Office in Lanzhou, etc.
Senior staff officers such as Zhang Aiping, Nie Heting, Li Tao, Bian Zhangwu, and Zhang Jingwu of the General Staff Office of the CPC Central Committee Delegation under the leadership of Ye Jianying were also temporarily awarded the rank of major general. In 1938, when Luo Binghui assisted Ye Jianying and others in Wuhan as the deputy chief of staff of the Eighth Route Army, he also participated in united front activities with the rank of major general.
In the spring of 1938, the National Military Commission held a joint meeting of the chiefs of staff and directors of the political department above the division level in Wuhan, and the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army sent 8 people to attend the meeting, they were Peng Xuefeng (chief of staff of the Eighth Route Army Headquarters, representing the Eighth Route Army Headquarters, with the rank of major general), Zhou Kun (chief of staff of the 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army, with the rank of major general), Bian Zhangwu (representing the 120th Division of the Eighth Route Army, with the rank of major general), Zhang Jingwu (representing the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army, with the rank of major general) to attend the meeting of the chiefs of staff; Luo Ruiqing (in the name of the Organization Director of the Political Department of the Eighth Route Army Headquarters, with the rank of colonel), Zhang Aiping (in the name of the deputy director of the Political Department of the 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army, with the rank of colonel.

The field artillery regiment and the heavy artillery regiment belonged to the unified command of the group army, and the armed forces, militia regiments, and guerrillas in various places were reorganized into the Second Group Army of the Eighth Route Army, the Third Group Army, and the new equipment of the troops, the rifle equipment troops, and the previous broadsword, spear, and cold weapons were eliminatedγγγγγ
Li Ming transferred the German SS, the father of the world's armored vehicles, William Guderian, a heavyweight to Yan'an, for the rapid formation of the CCP's tank force
The senior generals of the Eighth Route Army, and even Premier Zhou, Chairman Mao all served Li Ming, and even brought Guderian here, Chairman Mao, Premier Zhou smiled and said that Mr. Li Ming probably spent a lot of money to invite the German tank master, this person is said to be Hitler's right-hand man, Li Ming smiled and said that there are some things that cannot be bought with money, such as territory, friendship between friends, no amount of money can be bought, this thing is not measured by moneyγγγγγγ
After saying these words, the chairman admired it very much, the generals of the Eighth Route Army said that Mr. Li knew the general person, and the cultural literacy was quite high, Guderian greeted the generals in German, and the female translator was translating next to him, Enlai is not a loss is the prime minister of the country, and said to Li Ming with a smile that Mr. Li's relationship with Germany and even Hitler is good, it is not a secret relationship, it is all some military cooperation, Premier Zhou smiled and said that there are not many young people who are so low-key to youγγγγγγγ
Guderian talked to the chairman about Li and the German FΓΌhrer, and also talked about the formal establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Germany, because the battle was not over this issue was temporarily put on hold, the troops began to teach the trainees under the command of Guderian for about a month, and the generals had to practice a lot of tank driving operations, Guderian left Yan'an a month later and returned to Berlinγγγγγγ
