Chapter 162: The Delegation's Surprise!

The new 67th Army Guard Regiment has received a telegram from the US delegation. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 He Zhengdao then instructed the guard regiment of the new 67th Army to ensure the safety of the delegation and remember not to let the delegation have any accidents in the liberated areas.

Although He Zhengdao knew what these US military representatives were doing when they came to Yan'an. But he also knows that at this stage, Yan'an needs to have more contacts with the international community. And contact with the U.S. military is the beginning.

If there is any accident during the US military delegation's visit, it will also be very unfavorable to the external image of the Eighth Route Army. After all, it is indeed a shame that you can't even protect the safety of your guests.

He Zhengdao, who was appointed as the deputy head of the reception group, was also personally appointed by Taizu to serve as the coordinator of this time. How to get the delegation to arrive in Yan'an safely is naturally He Zhengdao's first task.

As the former commander of the New 67th Army, He Zhengdao's prestige in the New 67th Army has not decreased with his resignation. On the contrary, when he received a telegram from He Zhengdao, even Xiao Jinguang fully cooperated.

The choice of Xu Zhen, the head of the security regiment, as the person in charge of security accompanying the delegation, is also a candidate He Zhengdao feels very relieved. After all, those who know Xu Zhen know that he used to be a saber special combat soldier.

Later, when the army was expanded to the south, He Zhengdao felt the need to strengthen the security and security forces of the military headquarters, and finally promoted him to the head of the military headquarters guard regiment. And Xu Zhen is in the saber special combat team and has also undergone relevant training in foreign languages.

For many members of the Sabre Special Combat Team, the native language is naturally fluent. Japanese, on the other hand, is a foreign language that each of them must master. As for English, Ho also stressed that they should study as hard as possible.

Even in order to train the foreign language skills of these special combat personnel, He Zhengdao specially transferred some language experts from Yan'an to teach at Yan'an University. Most of these experts have experience in studying abroad, so foreign languages are naturally not a problem.

What's more, He Zhengdao himself is a language expert. As a former instructor of the Ouchi Guard Army, I am afraid that there is no one in the whole party and the whole army who can compare the language of He Zhengdao.

With the delegation, they began to follow the guard regiment to Yan'an, and some deputies originally proposed to come up with the military headquarters of the new 67th Army. After all, these representatives of the US military from Chongqing knew that the new 67th Army was very strong.

This unit is also the closest unit to the current National Army, and during the Battle of Wuhan, it also played a dazzling record. Today, in Central China, the prestige of this unit among the people is also very high.

The US military representatives even knew that the actual organizer of this unit was He Zhengdao, whom they wanted to contact very much during this trip. Among the many generals of the Eighth Route Army, the youngest but outstanding national general.

Regarding the proposal of the US military representative, Xu Zhen also said directly: "General Sam, at the moment, I do not recommend that you visit my military headquarters. First, our military headquarters does not have a fixed headquarters location, and it is not easy to find it.

The second is to ensure your safety, according to the information that our intelligence department has received. From the moment you embark on your journey, the Japanese intelligence forces will find out your whereabouts. Going to the garrison of our army will also cause certain trouble.

After all, it is clear to all the deputies that at the moment the air defense of our army is not strong. Once the Japanese army knows about your itinerary, not only will the safety of your delegates not be guaranteed, but the safety of our military headquarters will also be affected.

If you would like to visit our military headquarters, you may be able to make arrangements when you return from this trip. For now, I'd like to get there as soon as possible. The sooner you arrive in Yan'an, the safer you may be! ”

As soon as he heard that it was about his own safety, Major General Sam also said directly: "OK, I think Colonel Xu's suggestion is very worthy of approval." It's still in a war zone, and going to their military headquarters would cause them trouble.

Whether we are going to Yan'an for a visit this time, or should we arrive in Shaanxi as soon as possible, then maybe we will be much safer. What's more, the General He you want to see is said to be no longer here now, right? ”

'General Ho that General Sam is talking about should be our old army commander, right?' He was indeed not here, and now he was in charge of the war in the northeast. However, if we can get to Yan'an as soon as possible, maybe you will have a chance to meet him? ’

'Really? Your General He, is he in Yan'an now? ’

Regardless of the country's soldiers, they will worship heroes. And war heroes like He Zhengdao are naturally admired by the US military with heroism. In their eyes, such a young general is undoubtedly a hero.

What's more, with the war of the Eighth Route Army in the northeast, it once again achieved impressive results. In one fell swoop, the entire territory of Rehe was recovered, not to mention, even Shanhaiguan was also recovered by the Eighth Route Army. It's an incredible thing!

And the one who commanded the troops to make these achievements was undoubtedly He Zhengdao, a young red general. Even many foreign generals want to know what a magical young man this young red general is.

For the joy of these US military representatives, Xu Zhen also nodded and said: "Yes!" The results at the front tended to ease, and my old army commander was also ordered to return to Yan'an to report to work. If nothing else, he should stay in Yan'an for a while.

Of course, if the fighting on the front line changes, he may leave again and go to the front. After all, he is a front-line commander, and it is not good to stay in the rear for too long. Therefore, whatever you want to see my old military commander, you can only speed up your journey. ”

‘ok! Colonel Xu, let's leave as soon as possible! ’

It is clear that this visit to Yan'an and meeting with the leaders of Yan'an is also the task of the delegation. But when the delegation came, it was also appointed by the president and the parliament, hoping to contact a Ho Zhengdao.

Even many foreign governments know that the Eighth Route Army is a little different from the Nationalist Government, and more people in charge of political work hold great power. But for such a young general with a heavy army, they also want to have contact and understanding.

After all, the outside world can not gather much information about He Zhengdao, what is this young red general like. Many foreigners are curious and eager to see what real people look like.

Looking at how the young officers of the US military in these delegations actually admired their old leaders. The officers and men of the guard regiment also felt that the fame of their old chief had now spread abroad!

After entering the border of Henan by car from Hubei, some US military reporters accompanying them also visited the resting villages from time to time. Looking at these foreign devils, many people also felt surprised.

But for the visit of journalists, the guard regiment carrying out the task of protection did not prevent it. After all, most of the villages that they could choose as a resting place were fortress villages of the Eighth Route Army, and these villagers were very supportive of the Eighth Route Army.

Such support also left a deep impression on the delegation. The most surprising thing for the delegation was that the guard regiment that carried out the security tasks for them would do some farm work for the villagers when they were stationed in the village.

Faced with such a situation, Major General Sam was also very curious: "Colonel Xu, you are a soldier, why do you want to do such a thing?" Do you do these things to win the support of these people? ”

For such incomprehension and curiosity, Xu Zhen did not hide it and said: "General Sam, if you have some understanding of our army's policy, I believe you will understand that we are only doing what we think we should do, not to get support."

We are the people's soldiers, and our officers and soldiers are all from ordinary peasant families, and we know very well that these people are not having a good time. Now that so many of us are stationed in the village, the villagers are very welcoming to our arrival.

But in any case, we have also caused them a certain amount of trouble and trouble. In order to express our apologies, we use this method as a kind of reward for them. In doing so, we can also get closer to the villagers.

I know that you Americans, you have always emphasized democracy, autonomy, and equality. In fact, we also talk about democracy and equality. In the troops, we emphasize the equality of officers and soldiers. We also treat these people equally! ”

Such a remark really surprised Major General Sam. However, through such details, he can see to some extent that the support of the Eighth Route Army in the liberated areas is obviously higher than that of the current national control areas.

As Xu Zhen said, the United States is a country that emphasizes democracy and freedom. But at the end of the day, their president is also elected by choice. And how to get the support of voters is actually an important basis for whether or not you can be elected.

And Major General Sam also knows that China is a poor and backward country today. In this country, the largest number of people is not the bureaucratic class, nor the working class, but these ordinary people.

If you can get the support of these grassroots people, then whoever will get the most support. Even the election in China is a little different from that in the United States. But some of the truths are still universal, whoever has more supporters will win in the end.

Even in the kind of protection, Major General Sam can see that the unit in front of them to protect them is very elite and good at fighting. Many fighters are very rigorous and serious in the process of carrying out their tasks.

And the most surprising thing for Major General Sam is that in this guard unit, Xu Zhen is not the only one who can speak English. Even some officers and soldiers can only communicate in English, but this is also rare in the national army.

Through the observation of these details, Major General Sam also really realized. Compared with the determination and enterprising spirit of the Eighth Route Army, today's national * army units are a little demoralized and lifeless.

The most surprising thing for Major General Sam was that the officers of the Eighth Route Army ate and slept with the soldiers in the process of performing their tasks. This kind of arduous and simple style of work is almost impossible to see in the units of the national army.

In contrast, Major General Sam is naturally more and more optimistic about the future of the National Government!
