The guard division barracks located in the inner city of Yan'an are also military restricted areas for the common people. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info In order to ensure the safety of the central station, the barracks of the guard division are naturally not very far from the central station.

In addition to the soldiers who are on normal stand-up duty, the Guard Division is also responsible for security patrols in the vicinity of the station. In addition, the air defense alert in Yan'an is also one of the responsibilities of the guard division. Anti-aircraft artillery positions, and daily arrangements for combat readiness duty of troops.

As a unit guarding the security of the central station, the officers and men of the guard division are naturally treated well. It's just relative, and the guard division, which has enjoyed a very high standard of food distribution, naturally has a training volume that cannot be compared with other troops.

He Zhengdao, who arrived at the guard division with the guards, looked at the soldiers who were leaping in the training ground, and felt very relieved. The guard division in front of him, although it is not as good as the Central Guard Regiment in later generations, already looks like that.

Looking at He Zhengdao, who appeared at the training ground, many officers who were organizing troop training also seemed a little surprised. Seeing He Zhengdao shaking his head, these officers did not interrupt the troops who were training.

Compared with the earlier time when the guard division was formed, the guard division has now also been supplemented with many new recruits. However, most of the grassroots backbone officers in the division were old subordinates brought by He Zhengdao from the independent column when he formed the guard division.

Easily interrupting the troops that are being trained is also very inappropriate in He Zhengdao's opinion. What's more, he is not the commander of the guard division at the moment, and it is not good to interfere too much in the normal training of the troops.

Even many officers and soldiers of the guard division will call He Zhengdao 'teacher'!

It's just that it didn't take long for Chen Geng, who was also in the division headquarters, to appear at the training ground with a few people. Looking at He Zhengdao, who was focused on training, he also quickened his pace and stepped forward to shake hands and talk to him.

'How?' Now our training is good, right? This batch of training equipment was also installed just some time ago. This batch of equipment was also copied from the training ground of your reconnaissance brigade, what do you think of their training? ’

'Not bad! It is really good to be able to complete the training organization to this point in such a short period of time! However, this kind of training still needs to be rationally arranged, otherwise the physical consumption of officers and men will be too much, and it will also affect their daily combat readiness and duty. ’

These training equipment, which were very common in the military camps of later generations, were also pioneered by He Zhengdao in the independent column. The reconnaissance brigade, as the most elite unit of the independent column, undoubtedly has the greatest intensity of its training.

Chen Geng visited the reconnaissance brigade station a while ago, and after seeing the training of the reconnaissance brigade troops, he felt that it was necessary to promote it in the guard division. After all, the guard division, as a unit guarding the central government, will not let go of anything that improves combat effectiveness.

And all along, Chen Geng also felt that the training subjects of the guard division were somewhat monotonous. Now that we have this training ground, which has been built at a great cost, the daily training of officers and men has become richer.

It was only after a period of adaptation training that Chen Geng also found that these trainings really consumed the physical strength of officers and soldiers. If the training time is not reasonably arranged, the situation that He Zhengdao said is really likely to happen.

He smiled and said, "Indeed! At the beginning of the army's adaptive training, many soldiers were unable to weaken their hands and feet after a day of training. Fortunately, after a period of adaptation, the fighters gradually adapted to this seemingly simple but actually hard training.

Judging from this month's assessment of military subjects, there has been a marked improvement in the assessment results of officers and men of all battalions and companies of the guard division. It seems that this kind of training has accumulated over time, and it is still very helpful for improving the physical fitness and flexibility of officers and men. ”

In the eyes of many people, it is almost the same as training more team routines, fighting training, shooting training, and political study in peacetime. An equipment training ground like an organization is somewhat wasteful.

But it is only after practice that the benefits of this set of training equipment can be seen, that is, it can increase the physical fitness and flexibility of soldiers. With a strong physique, the overall combat capability of officers and men can also be markedly improved!

After seeing the newly formed training ground of the guard division, He Zhengdao quickly came to the station of the guard battalion. Looking at He Zhengdao who arrived, the officers and soldiers of the guard battalion were also very happy, and it seemed that they were a little surprised that He Zhengdao would come over at this time.

Xu Hao, who was the person in charge of the camp, immediately smiled and said, "Commander, it's time to eat soon, why don't you eat here at noon!" Over there in the cooking class, the fat pig stewed by you has been fragrant! ”

'Okay, I came at noon to dine with my comrades. Wait a minute, you ask someone to make a separate table of food, and I will have lunch with Commander Chen and other leaders of the guard division.

Every time we come to Yan'an, you have to trouble people, and it's time to invite them to a meal. On the guard division's side, I told you to send a fat pig over, and it's all done, right? ’

When we came back from the purchase together, we sent it over. Chief of Staff Yuan, and specially said thank you! Recently, the training of the guard division has been very hard, and the fat pig was sent over, and they just happened to have dinner with the troops! ’

Although a pig is assigned to a guard division, it is estimated that every officer and soldier will not be able to eat a piece. However, the extra amount of meat for a fat pig can also make the officers and men of the guard division eat a more hearty lunch.

Even if the food treatment of the guard division is very good, but the Eighth Route Army is notoriously poor after all. It is also difficult to eat meat every day. The food budget is limited, so the commanders of the troops naturally have to be careful with their budgets.

Chen Geng, who came with him, heard He Zhengdao's words, and said with a smile: "So, we also have a chance to have a meal today." Not to mention, I, as a teacher, haven't known the taste of meat for a long time. ”

It is clear that He Zhengdao's return to Yan'an this time is to do his life's work, and secondly, to participate in the upcoming military and political conference. At the end of this session, He Zhengdao will also be officially promoted to alternate member of the Central Committee.

With this status as an alternate member of the party, He Zhengdao can also be regarded as one of the important members of the party. Coupled with his position and prestige in the army, Chen Geng, as a senior, also understands that this young man in front of him has a bright future!

As Xu Hao personally invited the division leaders of those guard divisions on behalf of He Zhengdao, everyone naturally would not refuse. As the chief of staff, Yuan Yubo has always been very enthusiastic about the people from the old army.

If he can dine with He Zhengdao, the old chief, he will naturally not refuse. As the chief of staff of the guard division, his rank is not low. Compared with He Zhengdao and Chen Geng's level in the party, he is naturally far inferior.

It can be said that as the main commander of the former reconnaissance brigade, he was able to hold such an important position. There is still an inseparable relationship with He Zhengdao's support. If there is no such relationship, it is estimated that Yuan Yubo will not be able to be the chief of staff.

As lunch time came, the officers and men of the guard division who had finished training arrived at the canteen one after another to eat. Looking at the meals in the cafeteria today, there were a lot of braised pork, and I felt a little surprised, and I was very curious about why I suddenly added food today.

The cook in charge of the spoon also said in a timely manner: "This is specially sent by the teacher, and the teacher ordered that there will be an extra meal at noon today." I just ate this meal, and I will have to eat vegetarian dishes for the next few days. ”

A fat pig made into braised pork and assigned to a large guard division is naturally far from enough. Fortunately, Chen Geng knew that occasionally giving some surprises to officers and soldiers, they would also feel very happy.

In normal times, the officers and men were naturally happy to come to the extra meal only during the New Year's holidays, and suddenly and once in a while. Since He Zhengdao is willing to pay for the food of the troops under his command, he, the division commander, naturally can't be too stingy.

What's more, most of the pork purchased by the guard division today is raised from the military reclamation farm. In terms of price, it is much cheaper than buying from the market. The construction of the military reclamation farm did solve many logistical problems of the Eighth Route Army.

While the officers and men of the guard division were enjoying a rare extra meal, He Zhengdao and the division leaders of the guard division also sat in a separate vacated room for a meal. Even He Zhengdao was very enthusiastic and asked Xu Hao to bring two bottles of wine over.

According to the list of wedding invitations, only the division commander and political commissar of the guard division were eligible to attend He Zhengdao's wedding banquet. Even if Yuan Yubo is an old subordinate and the chief of staff of the guard division, he is not on the list of invitees.

It's not that He Zhengdao is unwilling to hire more people, but that's what the rules are. Most of the people who attended the wedding banquet were military and political dignitaries who came from all over the country, and a chief of staff like Yuan Yubo still needed to stay in the army on duty.

As a unit that needs to be on duty for combat readiness all year round, the guard division needs to have division-level leaders on duty at all times. In this way, if you encounter any emergencies, you can deal with them in a timely manner.

Not to mention Yuan Yubo, even Zhang Cheng and others, who are far away in Henan now, are also not on the list invited by He Zhengdao. The Central Committee and the Headquarters also hope to use He Zhengdao's wedding banquet to entertain the heroes who have returned from all over the country.

It can be said that this can be regarded as the military and political leaders who returned to Yan'an for a meeting, and they had dinner together with He Zhengdao's wedding banquet. Naturally, there will not be too many people who are qualified to participate in this kind of meal.

In addition to the leaders of the guard division on duty today, Chen Geng, Yuan Yubo and others can naturally accompany He Zhengdao to have a few drinks. Although it is not suitable for the troops to drink alcohol, it is okay to have a few drinks once in a while.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to eat, He Zhengdao also introduced the situation in Central China to Chen Geng and others. Telling them this will also help them to increase their understanding and judgment of the current situation.

Despite such an important position, the soldiers of this era still longed for the opportunity to be on the battlefield and command the battle. But this kind of hope is unlikely to come true in the short term.

Compared with the leadership transfer of other main combat units, the appointment of guard divisions must be approved by the central authorities. This also means that people like Chen Geng, Yuan Yubo and others who want to be released to take charge of the army still need to wait patiently for a while.

However, being able to deal with the leaders of the Central Committee on a regular basis is still very helpful for their future promotion in the party and the army! This can be regarded as a gain and a loss! (To be continued.) )
