At two o'clock in the afternoon, ten miles away from Yan'an City, Zhang Cheng and the political commissar saw hundreds of people gathered on both sides of the road in front of them from a distance. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The political commissar was shocked: "I'm obedient, I won't be here to greet us, right?" ”

Zhang Cheng whipped the horse's buttocks, turned around and said, "Let's go, let's catch up as soon as possible, don't let the head of the Central Committee wait for a long time!" ”

Zhang Cheng and the political commissar hurriedly stepped forward, and hurriedly stood up and saluted the commander and the leaders, and Zhang Cheng then joked to the commander: "The leaders are making a big move, are they here to greet us?" ”

The commander-in-chief and all the leaders burst out laughing when they heard this, and as soon as the laughter was over, the commander-in-chief said with a straight face: "Welcome to the triumphant return of our heroic young columnists, and I salute you on behalf of the Party Central Committee and the Central Military Commission." ”

As soon as the commander-in-chief's words were finished, the central guard troops who welcomed him neatly saluted Zhang Cheng and the soldiers behind him, and shouted in unison: "Welcome the triumph of the hero Shaozong and salute the hero Shaozong!" ”

The roars of hundreds of people echoed throughout the land of Yan'an, and this touching scene was deeply imprinted in the minds of all the officers and soldiers of Zhang Cheng and the Young Column, and they have never forgotten it for the rest of their lives.

Subsequently, under the leadership of Zhang Cheng and the political commissar, all the officers and soldiers of the Young Column saluted the commander and the welcoming troops, and the soldiers shouted in unison: "Salute to the commander and the Party Central Committee!" Hats off to the Central Guard Regiment! ”

After arranging tens of thousands of soldiers to be stationed in camps outside the city, the commander and the central leaders welcomed Zhang Cheng into Yangjialing, the residence of the commander and the central leaders.

As soon as she entered the commander's house, Sister Jiaoyang took Zhang Cheng's hand and kept looking at him, and kept saying that he was dark and thin, this family-like greeting moved Zhang Cheng, who had lacked love since childhood, to the point that his eyes were sour, and tears kept rolling in his eyes.

Entering the commander's study, everyone sat down one after another, and Comrade Luo Fu, who had a hearty personality, first said: "Zhang Cheng, Xiao Xiao, this time we not only specially went out of the city ten miles to greet you. In the evening, Deputy Commander Zhou will hold a celebration meeting and set up a banquet for you to receive the wind and wash the dust! ”

Lin Shuai gave Zhang Cheng a thumbs up, nodded and smiled: "The battle of the Western Expedition was fought really well, there is a level, and our first army is uniform." ”

Zhang Cheng and Xiao Hua's political commissar hurriedly stood up and replied: "This is all due to the commanders and leaders, how can it all be our credit, the chiefs are too exalted to us!" ”

Deputy Commander Zhou waved his hand again and again, motioning for the two to sit down and talk, he said slowly: "You can take the initiative to seize the opportunity, take advantage of the time when you are always anxious to pacify the 'Liangguang Incident' and have no time to take care of our army, and eliminate the Ma Jiajun with lightning speed, and take the northwest, which not only makes our army have a stable rear in the future all-out war of resistance and is completely free from worries, but also opens up the international communication line from the northwest to the Soviet Union. ”

Deputy Commander Zhou's words expressed the hearts of the leaders, and even Comrade Bo Gu praised them again and again, and everyone praised Shao Zong's achievements in winning the northwest.

After everyone calmed down, the commander asked Zhang Cheng: "How did you annihilate the Ma Jiajun and take the Great Northwest at such a fast speed, our comrades in the Military Commission are very curious, Zhang Cheng will tell you about it." ”

Zhang Cheng organized the language, and carefully explained the horse killing battle from the end to the end, the political commissar continued to pick up the gaps and fill in the gaps beside him, and the two joined hands to describe the Western Expedition Campaign.

After that, Zhang Cheng also took out a list of seizures from his pocket and handed it to the commander-in-chief, which listed in detail a large amount of money and various materials handed over to the central government.

After reading it carefully, the commander handed the list to Deputy Commander Zhou, with a bright smile on his face, and he sighed: "Xiang Yu! If you look at how many things Zhang Cheng brought back to us, there are more than 500 catties of gold alone, 10 million silver dollars, 10,000 war horses, and 1 million catties of grain. I'm obedient, our group of mud-legged Red Army has also become a rich man! ”

As soon as the commander-in-chief said this, the anxious chiefs rushed to Deputy Commander Zhou one after another, vying to circulate the list of seizures brought by Zhang Cheng. Such a rich seizure completely shocked the central leaders, and the leaders were so excited that they danced, they were really poor, with such a large amount of materials, the development of the base area can go on a highway again!

After browsing it, Mr. Peng couldn't help but sigh: "I can't imagine that the northwest is so poor, but these warlords like Ma Jiajun are so rich!" ”

Comrade Luo Fu said: "It is not surprising at all, aren't the warlords in Guizhou Province the same, the more impoverished and backward the place, the more ruthlessly the warlords and reactionary classes will oppress the people. ”

Lin Shuai, who has always been spicy, turned his mind to the 10,000 war horses at this time, and he said to the commander: "Commander, you see that the young column has even made a cavalry division, our first regiment is the big brother of the Red Army, and we don't even have a cavalry regiment, I think these captured war horses are all assigned to a regiment, with this batch of war horses, our first regiment can also form a cavalry division." ”

10,000 horses were all divided into one army? Mr. Peng, who was born in the Third Legion, was immediately unhappy, he shouted: "Okay, you cunning Lin Husan, your heart is too big, you actually want to swallow all the war horses, let me tell you, no way!" Our three legions will never agree. ”

Mr. Lin counterattacked: "Your three army corps are stationed in the northwest, and you won't be able to get any war horses in the future, so it's appropriate to divide all the war horses to one legion." ”

Mr. Peng and Lin Shuai once again fought for 10,000 war horses, and the rest of the central leaders were obviously not surprised, and they didn't stop them, just sat next to them and watched the play with a smile.

On the contrary, the commander of the fifteenth legion, Xu Haidong, who was still young, saw that they were arguing and looked like they were about to fight, and he was about to step forward to stop him, but he was stopped by Zhang Cheng, looking at the smile in Zhang Cheng's eyes, the commander of Xu Haidong understood.

In the end, Deputy Commander Zhou, who was still a good man, made peace, and he came out to uphold justice and said: "Our army has four corps and one column, and the young column originally had a cavalry division, and these horses were still handed over by them, so they don't have to participate in the distribution."

Mr. Peng's three legions, just like Captain Lin said, are stationed in the northwest horse-producing area, and the war horses will be continuously supplied in the future, and there is no need to join the distribution.

Our central authorities have always treated the major army corps equally, and I think it should be like this, with the 1st, 5th, and 15th army corps each giving 3,000 war horses, and the remaining 1,000 war horses to the central ministries and local governments, and giving them to the heads at all levels for their own use. Everyone, look at this point, okay? ”

Hearing the distribution method of Deputy Commander Zhou, everyone applauded, especially the commander of the Dong army and the commander of the Xu army, who originally played soy sauce, did nothing but get three thousand war horses for nothing, and the two of them turned red.

Everyone was satisfied, only Mr. Peng was a little dissatisfied that he didn't catch anything, but he thought that the three army corps was stationed in the northwest, and the future war horses could be continuously supplied to the troops, so he put it down.

Everyone talked and laughed, and Sister Jiaoyang notified everyone to come out for lunch, and everyone was very happy at this meal.
