Just as Zhang Yunfei was sighing on the side of the training ground, a young soldier rode a red horse and ran towards this side quickly, kicking up a cloud of dust, and it could be seen that the little soldier was very anxious.

The jujube red horse ran to Zhang Yunfei and stopped, the little soldier quickly dismounted, walked in front of Zhang Yunfei, first made a military salute, and then hurriedly said: "Hello Master Zhang, I am the chairman's guard, and the chairman wants to see you." ”

Hearing that the chairman was going to see him, Zhang Yunfei was inexplicably excited, but he quickly calmed down, and he couldn't lose his temper in front of the chairman.

Because the cave where the chairman lived was still in the suburbs of Yan'an, the little soldier took a horse from the training ground and ran to the cave where the chairman lived one after the other with Zhang Yunfei.

As for the few special combat team members, there is no need to worry, they will return to their residences by themselves, and Zhang Yunfei is going to meet the chairman, so naturally he does not need to be accompanied by special combat personnel.

It only took about 20 minutes, after several checkpoints, and finally came to the legendary cave, looking at the neat and tidy caves in front of him, rows and rows of caves, Zhang Yunfei felt a sense of respect in his heart, and spontaneously appeared.

The little soldier came to the cave and reported loudly: "Report to the chairman, Division Commander Zhang of the 136th Division has arrived." ”

As soon as the little warrior's voice fell, a loud voice sounded in the cave; "Come in, please."

Zhang Yunfei glanced at the little soldier, the little soldier handed Zhang Yunfei a look of invitation, Zhang Yunfei tidied up his appearance, and after finding every problem, he gently pushed open the door of the cave and walked in.

The inside of the cave is very simple, only a desk, a coffee table and a few stools, and a bookshelf, and the bookshelf is full of books, although it is relatively simple, but it is very tidy.

The chairman was sitting at the desk, holding a book and reading it with relish, Zhang Yunfei came in for a while, then put down the book in his hand, and said kindly: "Don't be restrained, order casually, just like your own home." ”

Zhang Yunfei found a stool and sat down in front of the chairman, looking at the chairman with a smile.

The chairman looked at Zhang Yunfei appreciatively and said: "Young man, young and promising, he is the commander of our main division in his twenties." ”

"This time I came to Yan'an, but I brought a big gift, not to mention weapons and equipment, these 100,000 oceans can solve the urgent needs of the Party Central Committee, I thank you on behalf of the Party Central Committee." The Chairman continued.

Zhang Yunfei hurriedly and modestly said that this is what he should do, and he is also doing a little bit for the party and the whole army.

Then the chairman carefully inquired about Zhang Yunfei about the building of the troops, the building of base areas, and the building of ideology and culture.

Then the chairman asked: "It has been more than a year since the outbreak of the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, what does Division Commander Zhang think of this disaster imposed on the Chinese nation by imperialism?" ”

Zhang Yunfei tried to open his mouth a few times, but it was difficult to say anything, but the chairman was sitting opposite, the chairman was not only a military strategist, but also had a very excellent strategic vision, and he did not expect that the chairman would suddenly ask his opinion on this war.

Seeing that Zhang Yunfei wanted to speak and stopped, he was about to open his mouth several times, and swallowed the words back, the chairman said kindly: "It doesn't matter, speak freely, it's like two old friends chatting together." ”

Seeing what the chairman said, Zhang Yunfei said in a heart: "Then I will express some of my own personal views, and I hope the chairman will not laugh." ”

The chairman looked at Zhang Yunfei with a smile and nodded gently, waiting for Zhang Yunfei's next words.

Zhang Yunfei sorted out his thoughts a little and said: "My general view on this war is that China will win, and it is said that it will not be defeated. ”

Seeing that Zhang Yunfei was really sure and full of confidence, the chairman also looked at Zhang Yunfei with interest and said, "Can you tell me the detailed reasons?" ”

Zhang Yunfei saw that the chairman was waiting for his next words, cleared his throat and said: "Our China has a vast land and vast area, with a population of 40,000, and a small country with few resources, and its population is far from China's. In the early days of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, although we were defeated and retreated by relying on the army's well-trained and advanced weapons, as the war progressed and the scope of occupation by the army expanded, the number of troops needed would also increase dramatically.

At that time, with the expansion of the battle front, there will already be a shortage of troops, just as you mentioned in your speech "On Protracted War" delivered at the Yan'an Anti-Japanese War Research Conference in May this year, China said that the war between the two countries will enter a protracted war.

However, Chairman, I am confident and determined to shorten the duration of this war as soon as possible and reduce the calamities of the Chinese people; at present, our division is carrying out large-scale industrial construction in Datong, and we have also collected many talented people from all walks of life, and these talents have played a great role in our industrial construction. ”

"Well, yes, it's rare to be so young and have such a long-term vision." The Chair said approvingly.

It can be seen that the chairman admired Zhang Yunfei very much, and repeatedly instructed Zhang Yunfei to work hard to develop the army, strive to fight a few more frontal wars, and break the rumor that the Kuomintang said that the Eighth Route Army was always swimming but not attacking.

The conversation between the chairman and Zhang Yunfei lasted for two or three hours, and finally Zhang Yunfei took the initiative to resign when he saw that the chairman was busy.

On August 1, in Yan'an, the Eighth Route Army held a huge celebration of the founding of the army, and the high-level leaders of the Eighth Route Army attended the celebration.

On that day, Yan'an was filled with a festive atmosphere, both soldiers and ordinary people were smiling, and college students in Yan'an even took to the streets to display slogans to celebrate the 11th anniversary of the founding of the Eighth Route Army.

In the afternoon, the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army also held a very large military parade in imitation of Zhang Yunfei's model in those years, and the guard regiment of the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army stationed in Yan'an participated in the military parade, and the weapons used in the parade ceremony were the equipment brought by Zhang Yunfei.

As the commander of the main division of the Eighth Route Army, Zhang Yunfei was fortunate to sit on the rostrum with the chairman and the commander-in-chief.

The Chinese and foreign reporters who were invited to attend the celebration ceremony picked up their cameras, and after a flash of magnesium light, the picture of the commander-in-chief awarding Zhang Yunfei a medal was forever frozen.

A few days later, this great picture will definitely appear in the newspaper again, and Zhang Yunfei will once again resound all over the country.

The day after the celebration ceremony ended, Zhang Yunfei found a suitable opportunity and gave the commander-in-chief the training outline he had written.

The commander-in-chief took the thick training syllabus, flipped through it casually, and was immediately attracted by the novel and scientific training methods inside, and said yes again and again.

Zhang Yunfei also took the opportunity to ask whether the General Headquarters could popularize it throughout the army so that the training level and military quality of the soldiers could be raised as soon as possible.

The commander-in-chief, who had long been attracted by the content of it, immediately promised that it would be promoted throughout the army as soon as possible.

After staying in Yan'an for a few more days, Zhang Yunfei refused the repeated attempts of the chairman and the commander-in-chief, and led everyone to leave Yan'an and return to Datong.

This time back to Datong, everyone drove an empty car, no equipment and valuables, the mood was very relaxed and cheerful, all the way to stop and stop, it took three days to return to Datong.
