If the visit to the prisoner of war camp made the delegation feel proud, even a little complacent. Next, the experience of visiting the Japanese prisoner of war hospital outside the city made the delegation feel a little ugly.

The person He Yingqin wanted to see the most saw Xiusan and saw it, but he was in a coma. The explanation given by the hospital also gave He Yingqin a little headache. That is, the injury of Shuzo is a bit not optimistic.

At present, there are not many anti-inflammatory drugs in the independent column, although it is a little anti-inflammatory drug to see Xiusan, but the situation of the wound is not very optimistic. Once the wound becomes infected, it also means that if you want to survive, you can only make luck.

Secondly, the tragic situation of the wounded Japanese soldiers who broke their legs and legs and wailed from time to time also made the members of the delegation feel furious. From the situation of these wounded soldiers, it can also be seen that the independent column fought very hard.

Just when the members of the delegation were about to return to the city, He Zhengdao said in a timely manner: "Minister He, since you have come outside the city, let's go and see the wounded of our independent division!" In this anti-encirclement and suppression operation, those people are the heroes of our independent division.

There are some things that may not be appropriate to say at this time. But I still have to say to you bluntly, this anti-encirclement and suppression we can make the little devils finally lay down their arms and surrender, these wounded are indispensable, they are the heroes of this battle.

At present, in order to treat the wounded soldiers of these little devils, most of the medicines we have stored and seized are used to treat these little devils. To be honest, as their division commander, I feel very ashamed. But these little devils are wounded, and we can't let them go.

As for Minister He's intention to come this time, I have also heard from the leaders of the General Headquarters and the Central Committee. If Minister He wants to take these prisoners, I will naturally welcome them with both hands. I just hope that Minister He can give comfort to my wounded soldiers.

You fought against the Japanese on the front line, and we fought bloodily against the little devils behind enemy lines. Most of your officers and soldiers are supported by supplies and military expenses from the government, and we have to rely on capture behind enemy lines, and sometimes we can only rely on white-knuckle combat when we run out of bullets.

As their division commander, I do feel a little sorry for them. Since you think that our Eighth Route Army is also a member of the Anti-Japanese War Army, then I hope that the government will not favor one over the other too much, so that the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army will be cold! ”

The faint words made He Yingqin really hard to say anything. Even if he knew in his heart that the Eighth Route Army was far less bitter than He Zhengdao said. But the fact is that their government really did not allocate materials and salaries to the Eighth Route Army.

I want the horses to run, but I am reluctant to give the horses grazing. Now that they see a little benefit, they want to take advantage of it. is reasonable, and it does seem a little unrighteous. In this kind of matter, He Yingqin can't even say an excuse to shirk.

After pondering for a moment, he said: "Please rest assured, Master He, we will still give certain rewards to the soldiers who sincerely resist the war." As for the medicines you are short of, I will tell the chairman of the committee to see if I can bring some medicines over.

It's just that Division Commander He should also know that we have been fighting the Japanese army on the front line for several months, and the casualties of the participating troops are also quite a lot. Coupled with the blockade of us by the little devils, we also don't have much medicine reserves, but I will try my best to transfer a batch of medicines. ”

'Thank you, Minister Ho! Although the little devils are currently blocking our coastline, they are not blocking all our relief supplies, right? At least I know that the Soviet side has given you a lot of assistance.

Our party, our Eighth Route Army, in order to take into account the overall situation of the unified war of resistance. There is also little to say about the military aid provided by the Soviet side. But as far as I know, when the Soviet side was helping, it also stated that a batch of aid materials was given to us.

But now the situation is that you have received all the supplies. Not to mention sending us what we deserve, even if the Soviet side wants you to borrow the materials you have allocated to us. If you do this, I'm afraid that it will also chill the soldiers and civilians of the Anti-Japanese War, right? ’

In the face of He Zhengdao's somewhat accusatory words, Zhou Enlai, who was standing aside, said in a timely manner: "Righteousness, be cautious." The government naturally has its own plans, and I think the chairman still has plans and considerations regarding the allocation of materials. ”

I hope so! Otherwise, I just want to reach out and ask for benefits, but I am reluctant to give a little benefit. This kind of loss-making business, I still won't do it. If this is the case, how will I lead my troops into battle in the future? ’

Such words made He Yingqin realize again that the real white-faced singer of the Eighth Route Army was probably He Zhengdao. If you want to get these prisoners of war from He Zhengdao, I'm afraid it's really not easy.

After all, He Zhengdao's attitude towards the government is very clear, and the shelling of Guiyang City has already doomed him to not stand with the government. I believe that for Chairman Chiang, he is not so generous and tolerant.

In addition, even on the side of the Eighth Route Army, many people know that He Zhengdao joined the Eighth Route Army as Mao Taizu's guard. As a subordinate of Mao Taizu's descendants, as long as He Zhengdao is not stupid, he will not do anything to defect to the national government.

Under the leadership of He Zhengdao, He Yingqin and his entourage finally visited the rear hospital of the independent column. Looking at the rear hospital of Ruoda, where thousands of lightly and seriously injured people lived, He Yingqin also knew how difficult this battle was.

What made He Yingqin and the delegation a little uncomfortable was that many injured soldiers of the Eighth Route Army basically didn't pay much attention to their visit and condolences. Many people say 'you are from the Central Army' and then don't say anything more.

This kind of resistance and vigilance made He Yingqin and his entourage very clear, for these Eighth Route Army with the blue sky and white sun emblem on their heads. They still don't take the Central Army seriously, and it is difficult for them to really become friendly forces with the Central Army.

But no matter what, it's really what the right way says. If the Eighth Route Army handed over the captured little devils to the Central Army, but could not give these soldiers an explanation, how would these soldiers feel?

At least He Yingqin can see that the Eighth Route Army attaches great importance to these wounded soldiers. Seeing Zhou Enlai and Zuo Quan who came together, many wounded soldiers were very excited. As for He Yingqin, who was a general, he was ignored by these wounded.

At the end of the visit, He Zhengdao, who sent He Yingqin and his entourage to the guest house, said very politely: "Minister He, you have been traveling all the way, let's take a good rest in the afternoon!"

Yesterday, not only our Yulin, but also Suiyuan and other places were bombed by retaliatory bombardment by little devils. In addition, the bomber formations of the Kwantung Army also carried incendiary bombs that posed a deadly threat to houses and personnel.

Therefore, I am afraid that I will not have time to entertain you in the afternoon, and I still need to deal with the aftermath. Regarding the transfer of prisoners of war, I also hope that Minister He will consider our difficulties and think more about it for us.

To tell the truth, if Minister He wanted to take these prisoners of war directly under the pretext of using the little devil captives for propaganda, I am afraid that it would be difficult for me to explain to the officers and soldiers who participated in the battle. This is true not only of me, but also of our Central Committee and the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army.

This time, in order to cooperate with our anti-encirclement and suppression war in Suiyuan, even the troops behind enemy lines of our army in Shanxi and Hebei have sent troops to participate and cooperate. If you want to take people away, you also need to consider the thoughts of our entire army commanders and fighters.

It is also well known that our Eighth Route Army is poor. But even so, we still fulfilled our duty to defend the territory and resist the war. In order to fulfill our mission of reunifying the War of Resistance, we are also willing to cooperate with the government to do some propaganda that is conducive to the reunification of the War of Resistance.

But that doesn't mean you just ask, and we'll give it away. I understand the difficulties of the national government on the battlefield in Xuzhou. But compared to the military aid from the United States and the Soviet Union, what do we have for the Eighth Route Army?

To put it too much, our current weapons and ammunition can only be snatched from the little devils. Even if there are many people who support us now, Minister He should know that the northwest itself is a barren land.

In addition to providing us with a little food, the people want to provide us with more, and I am afraid that the people are also powerless. In order to maintain the situation of confrontation with the Japanese army in the future, we also hope to get more support from the national government.

After all, we are in the northwest and north China, and there are also many Japanese troops invading China. Therefore, we still hope that the government will show more sincerity and do something that will damage the united front. ”

He Zhengdao's words seemed to be very sincere, but the feelings given to He Yingqin were a little uncalm. Just thinking about what He Zhengdao said, he really can't refute anything. can only say that He Zhengdao is very straightforward.

It is well known that the two armies are on guard against this kind of thing in private. But when they meet each other, they rarely say it so clearly. As a result, when he met a person like He Zhengdao, who was a little stunned, He Yingqin really didn't know how to deal with it.

Angry? This is He Zhengdao's territory, and he must have a reason to punish He Zhengdao. What's more, He Zhengdao's words are not wrong. The government is more vigilant than cooperative with the Eighth Route Army.

If it were not for the comprehensive unification of the situation of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, I am afraid that the national government would not let the Eighth Route Army develop like this in the northwest. Even now, Chairman Chiang, doesn't he also hope to suppress the development of the Eighth Route Army by restricting military spending and materials?

It's just that there are intentional restrictions, and the Eighth Route Army eventually develops into this. Along the way, although He Yingqin did not find out the reality of the Eighth Route Army. But he also knew that the independent column should be the strongest unit of the Eighth Route Army.

If you want to control so many base areas, and still deal with the Japanese army that is confronting them, is it possible to have no strength?

In this case, it is also worth considering whether it is good or bad for the Central Army to really fight with the Eighth Route Army. The Central Army wanted to use the Japanese army to consume the strength of the Eighth Route Army, so didn't the Eighth Route Army hope to use the Japanese army to consume their strength?

Compared with the Eighth Route Army, they are getting stronger and stronger, but their elites are fighting less and less. In the long run, who will have the final say in the future of Huaxia is really a question worth considering. really tearing his face, who will be the happiest?

The Central Army wanted to give the Eighth Route Army a charge of sabotaging the unification of the War of Resistance, so why didn't the Eighth Route Army know about it? Now that they know what the Central Army has in mind, how can the Eighth Route Army not have a countermeasure?

This time, who wants to calculate whom, I'm afraid it is not yet known! (To be continued.) )
