Chapter 259: Old Friends Meet
"Lao Xu, are we ready for Yan'an?"
sent Xue Yue away, and the matter on Commander Jiang's side came to an end temporarily. Next, it was time to prepare for the affairs of Yan'an, and Chen Jinghui specially prepared a big gift for Yan'an that was not mentioned in the telegram. But in order to hide people's eyes, he has been asking Chief of Staff Xu to prepare secretly.
"Don't worry, Commander, I will personally follow this matter, and I have almost prepared." Chief of Staff Xu said.
"That's good, after all, we are one faith." Chen Jinghui said.
"Well, hopefully they can have a better development with these things." Chief of Staff Xu said.
"I hope so! Okay, you don't have to worry about things here, just get that thing done. Chen Jinghui said.
"Yes, I'll follow up right away, and I'll be sure to prepare everything before the people from Yan'an come."
After Chief of Staff Xu finished speaking, he then sorted out some things and left the command headquarters, as for where he went, only Chen Jinghui himself understood.
In the next few days, after Chen Jinghui visited Zhang Erzhu, who had woken up, he made new defensive adjustments to the troops. He replenished the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, independent, and provisional 1st Divisions, and then assembled in the areas already occupied by Anhui and along the Yangtze River. As for the Nanchang defensive line, he handed over the provisional 2nd Division, the provisional 3rd Division, and the provisional 4th Division in Xinchengli. Remobilize the Guards Brigade back to the Closure and take charge of the defense of the General Command.
Not only that, but he abolished the artillery units directly under the army and expanded the artillery establishment of each division. The tank unit was replenished again by military factories, and the number increased to 60 vehicles, which were also deployed along the Yangtze River in Anhui.
As for the Air Force, due to the slow pace of manufacture, there are currently only 15 J-1 fighters, 5 bombers, 3 reconnaissance aircraft, and one newly developed transport aircraft. In general, it is not yet possible to engage in a large-scale air battle with the devils again.
"Zhao Kai, Erzhuzi is now seriously injured and unable to lead the troops, I now appoint you as the acting commander of the first division, concurrently serve as the chief of staff of the division, and lead the military affairs of the first division."
Five days later, in the morning, Chen Jinghui saw Zhang Erzhu and found that he had to cultivate for at least a month before he could work. Chen Jinghui immediately decided to appoint Zhao Kai to temporarily act as the commander of the first division and lead the affairs of the first division.
"Yes, thank you for your trust, I will definitely live up to your high expectations." Zhao Kai immediately saluted and promised.
"Well, it's good to have faith, you should ...... next"
"Report, the commander of the third division reported that the people sent by Yan'an to receive equipment have arrived in Huangmei County."
Just when Chen Jinghui was explaining some of Zhao Kai's affairs of the First Division, the operator ran into the headquarters and told him that the people from Yan'an had arrived.
"So quickly, order Li Dali to send someone to escort the people from Yan'an to Jiujiang." Chen Jinghui ordered.
"Send a report to Chief of Staff Xu and ask him if everything is ready, and the people from Yan'an will arrive in the afternoon." Chen Jinghui said again.
"Report, Chief of Staff Xu said that things have been prepared, he is rushing to Jiujiang, and he is expected to arrive in the evening." Said the communications officer.
"Okay, let him stay safe." Chen Jinghui said.
After confirming that there was no problem on Chief of Staff Xu's side, Chen Jinghui asked Zhao Kai to start arranging preparations for receiving the Yan'an envoy. And he himself tidied up, and then took a few staff officers and began to walk towards the Jiujiang wharf. This is an envoy sent by Yan'an, and he still doesn't dare to slack off in his heart.
Woo......
Just after 12 noon, a warship began to slowly approach the Jiujiang wharf. Chen Jinghui immediately led people to the edge of the wharf and waited quietly for the warship to dock, and then greeted the Yan'an envoy.
The warship began to slow down and swing its rudder, leaning its hull against the edge of the dock. All the officers and men on the warship immediately ran out and stood on the side of the warship. Then the captain, political commissar, and Li Dali and others walked out of the cabin with a few people wearing long robes, and began to slowly walk off the warship.
"Report to the military commander, the special envoy of Yan'an has arrived safely, please instruct."
"Report to the military commander, the special envoy of Yan'an has arrived safely, please instruct."
Li Dali came to Chen Jinghui to salute and report, but he found that Chen Jinghui did not respond. Then again reported on the side.
But strangely, Chen Jinghui still did not react. I saw where Chen Jinghui was standing in a daze, his eyes kept staring at the envoy on Yan'an, and the expression on his face was both surprised and excited, in short, it was very rich.
"Hehe, what's the matter, I'm here, General Chen is not welcome!" The envoy of Yan'an stepped forward and said.
"No, no, no, welcome to the Commander-in-Chief of the Eighth Army."
Chen Jinghui was asked by the Yan'an envoy, and immediately reacted and knew that he had lost his temper. But the person in front of him really shocked him, this person was the commander-in-chief of the Eighth Army, Commander-in-Chief Peng. This face, he could only see in books before, but now that he sees a real person, he is still a little timid in his heart. Especially the momentum of Mr. Peng's high-ranking person, he was a little out of breath.
And Chen Jinghui's shout directly shocked everyone around him. Everyone's eyes looked at Mr. Peng in unison, and then immediately stood straight and saluted. No matter what he thinks, Mr. Peng is a person who has to be respected.
"Oh? You know me. ”
Mr. Peng was also very surprised to see that Chen Jinghui recognized him, but they had never met.
"yes, I do." Chen Jinghui replied affirmatively.
"How did you recognize me, we've never met." Mr. Peng said.
"Hmm!! This question is more complicated, let's go back to the headquarters first! ”
After a short period of shock, Chen Jinghui slowly became natural, and when he saw that Mr. Peng always had a posture of asking questions, he immediately diverted the topic and made a gesture of please.
"Hehe, it's fine."
Mr. Peng also sensed that Chen Jinghui must have some ulterior secrets, but he didn't break it, but just followed Chen Jinghui and his party to the Jiujiang headquarters.
"Come on, Mr. Peng, please come inside."
When he arrived at the headquarters, Chen Jinghui stood at the door and invited Mr. Peng into the headquarters to sit down. After lunch, they began to discuss the reception of weapons and equipment. Because of the things that Chen Jinghui prepared for Yan'an, many telegrams did not say it, so the handover was relatively slow, and it was more than six o'clock in the afternoon.
"Commander, I ...... everything you want Brought. ”
Chief of Staff Xu, who had just arrived, took the things that Chen Jinghui asked for directly to the courtyard of the headquarters, and then ran into the house himself, preparing to report to Chen Jinghui. But the moment he stepped into the door, his whole movement stopped instantly, and his eyes kept staring at Mr. Peng, who was sitting next to Chen Jinghui.
And when Mr. Peng saw Chief of Staff Xu, he also had a sense of intimacy and a sense of déjà vu, but he just couldn't remember it for a while.
"Old chief, do you remember me?"
After a long time, Chief of Staff Xu slowly came to Mr. Peng, and asked with tears in his eyes.
"You are ......" Mr. Peng looked at Chief of Staff Xu with a questioning look.
"Old chief, you don't recognize me, I'm Xu Jun, chief of staff of the Third Regiment of the Red First Army!" Chief of Staff Xu said excitedly.
"Xu Jun! Xu Jun! I remember you, I remember you, didn't you disappear in the fifth anti-encirclement campaign? And your regimental commander, called ...... ......, called Chen Hu, also disappeared in that battle. ”
Mr. Peng finally remembered, and the tears in his eyes slowly flowed down.
"Woooooooooo......oo Old chief, we are not missing, we were seriously injured at the time, and we were rescued by the local villagers. When our wounds healed, our troops were gone. ”
When Chief of Staff Xu saw that Mr. Peng recognized him, he cried excitedly, and then briefly told about himself.
"You're here now, what about Chen Hu! Where is he? Mr. Peng asked excitedly.
"Someone, send a report to the commissar and order him to come here immediately, immediately."
At this time, Chen Jinghui suddenly spoke and ordered the guards to give Chen Hu an order.
"Commissar?" Mr. Peng asked suspiciously.
"Old chief, you sit down first, Lao Xu and I are both serving in Flying Fox now. He is the General Political Commissar of the Flying Fox Army, and I am the Chief of the General Staff of the Flying Fox Army. ”
Chief of Staff Xu helped Mr. Peng to sit down, and then introduced him and Chen Hu's positions.
"What? You guys, you guys. Alas...... I didn't think of that! ”
When Mr. Peng heard Chief of Staff Xu say this, he stood up again excitedly. He felt that his brain was not enough, and in reality his old subordinates were still alive, and now his old subordinates turned out to be the military political commissar and chief of staff of the famous Flying Fox Army. Such a position is almost the same as himself.
Moreover, if he had known that the political commissar and chief of staff here were his old subordinates, and that the development here was so good, he would have come to them a long time ago, so maybe the Eighth Army would have developed better.
"Mr. Peng, don't get excited, you sit down first, everyone sit down and talk slowly."
Chen Jinghui stepped forward again at this moment, asked them to sit down, and then asked them to serve tea again.
"Good! All right! You're all here now. ”
After sitting down, Mr. Peng looked at Chief of Staff Xu, and then took his hand and said excitedly.
"Old chief, this is all the good of our Commander Chen's leadership, otherwise we have to say whether we are dead or alive now!" Chief of Staff Xu said.
"Hmmm! I believe what you say, because the development and achievements of the flying fox are obvious to the people of the whole country. ”
Feihu didn't say it before, in the past year or so, the development has been quite fast, and the record is also very amazing. These soldiers of the older generation, the one who mentioned the flying fox gave a thumbs up.
