As the military and political leaders of Yulin and Suiyuan, others can have a good rest and enjoy a rare New Year when they reach the end of the year. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoBut He Zhengdao has endless work and endless troops.

In view of the fact that the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Forces will advance into the Northeast next year, He Zhengdao took the initiative to take over the task of visiting the front-line troops at the grassroots level at the military and political meeting at the end of the year. The rest of the commanders of the military headquarters inspected the garrison units in Yulin.

Even if it was the first time to team up with He Zhengdao, Chen Yun and others knew that this was a tradition that the independent column had always had. Unless there are special circumstances, under normal circumstances, Ho Zhengdao's New Year is spent in the grassroots troops.

Maybe it's at a guerrilla base, or in a fortress village in a base area, or in some remote garrison position. In short, He Zhengdao used this kind of action to comfort the officers and soldiers who still insisted on staying on the front line in the New Year.

Even he, the commander, is so conscientious in his duties, how dare the officers and men of other units relax their vigilance?

In the words of He Zhengdao, they are the people's soldiers, and the more the New Year's Day is like this, the more they cannot relax their vigilance. As troops stationed in Yulin and Suiyuan, it is necessary for them to let the people have a peaceful New Year.

If they can't even do that, then they don't have much point in existing. It is precisely He Zhengdao's behavior of setting an example that has touched and made many officers and men of the front-line troops feel very moved and proud.

When leaving Yulin, looking at Chen Siya, who was a little reluctant, He Zhengdao, who sent her to the car, also said apologetically: "Siya, when I saw my parents in Yan'an, I said sorry on my behalf, I can't accompany you for the New Year this year."

You must know more or less about the affairs of the troops next year. If we don't take advantage of the New Year's pass, we should go down and visit the troops to check the combat readiness of each unit. I'm also worried that next year we will go to the front and what will happen in the rear.

I named all the things in the car. When I arrived in Yan'an, you sent these New Year's gifts on my behalf. When I saw the chairman and the boss, I also greeted them on my behalf. After inspecting the front line, I will go back to Yan'an! ”

'Good! I know! You don't have to worry about me, but you are outside, so you should also take care of your body. Now that it's freezing and snowy outside, you have to be more careful. When you have time, remember to send me a telegram. ’

As the first New Year of the two marriages, Chen Siya naturally hopes to reunite with the family. But she also knew that marrying someone like He Zhengdao who focused his energy on the army, she had to endure the pain of frequent separation.

Fortunately, Chen Siya also understands that if He Zhengdao was not so conscientious, he would not have such a high prestige among the grassroots troops and the general public. In the final analysis, prestige also needs to be accumulated by time and practical actions.

This time to send Chen Siya to Yan'an, He Zhengdao still sent a guard company. In addition to protecting along the way, this guard company is also responsible for escorting the supplies and New Year's gifts sent to the headquarters from Yulin.

Interpersonal interaction is something that cannot be avoided at any time. At this time of the New Year, the troops below sent some New Year's gifts to Yan'an and the headquarters, even if Taizu and Mr. Zhu couldn't say anything.

Although the Eighth Route Army has always emphasized frugality, the grassroots troops sent some New Year's goods, which can be regarded as a gesture of gratitude to the leadership. If you refuse, it will seem a little impersonal.

As long as the things are not too extravagant and valuable, Taizu and Mr. Zhu will not say anything. In the final analysis, at this time of the New Year, Yan'an and some leaders of the headquarters also hope to have a relatively prosperous New Year.

At least they all know that compared to the Nationalist government in Chongqing at this moment, most of the subordinates who give gifts to the chief at this time either give money or expensive gifts. The gifts given by the Eighth Route Army are undoubtedly a little too simple.

Since He Zhengdao served as the military and political leader of the Yulin Border Region, it has also become a tradition in the Yulin Border Region to send New Year's gifts to Yan'an and the head of the General Headquarters at the end of each year. Even some of the chief's family members are looking forward to this New Year's gift.

After all, when the year comes, the leaders also hope that they will have a good popularity. It's really coming to the end of the year, and no army has sent a New Year's gift to him, and it is estimated that this kind of leader is either too unkind, or he is not popular.

As the family members of the chief, they usually have a lot of concerns about receiving gifts from their subordinates. It is only at this time that they can accept a gift from these border troops and the government with peace of mind.

Of course, if something is too extravagant, they will still return it. After all, corruption is also a very taboo thing for many leaders living in Yan'an. If you really spread it, there will be big problems!

Watching the convoy transporting supplies and escorting Chen Siya away, He Zhengdao also didn't stay in Yulin for long. This year's military-civilian gala in Yulin City has been decided to be in charge of political commissar Chen Yun, who is still sitting in Yulin City.

Compared with some other border governments, they do not dare to spend too much money to celebrate the New Year at this time of the year. The New Year's party held in Yulin has become a New Year's event that the people of Yulin City look forward to every year.

Although the tax revenue of some border government governments is much better than that of the early years when they first arrived in Shaanxi. However, in organizing such a large-scale military-civilian gala, some border governments and troops have little experience.

On the other hand, the government of the Yulin Border Region has organized such things many times. Many people and merchants who celebrate the New Year in Yulin City, when it comes to the 30th day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, most of them will prepare the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner early.

After the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, they will drag their families to the venue where the gala will be held. At this time, it is also a time for the government of the border region and the garrison troops to get closer to the people of the city.

As the new political commissar, He Zhengdao felt that it was necessary to let Chen Yun have more contact with the people. For such an arrangement, Chen Yun naturally did not refuse. Speaking of which, this errand is much more comfortable than going down to the grassroots level to investigate and condole.

After all, at present, Yulin and Suiyuan are already closed by heavy snow. It is not an easy task to rush to some remote grassroots troops. Only He Zhengdao is young and full of physical strength to dare to do such a thing.

If they really want to be replaced by Chen Yun and Ye Jianying and others, they may not be able to go down this trip. It can be said that although it is the first time for the four to work together in a team, Chen Yun's evaluation of He Zhengdao is also very high.

I thought that why the righteous path was young, but it seemed a little young and vigorous. But what Chen Yun didn't expect was that He Zhengdao rarely intervened in matters involving the responsibility of the political commissar, and many things would be discussed with him.

Compared with being a political commissar in other troops, more of them are relatively low-key. He Zhengdao will always find a way to increase the prestige and weight of his new political commissar in the army and the government, which makes Chen Yun also very moved.

After all, some military and political commanders always hope to have more power and more say in the army when they set up their teams. However, this situation is still relatively rare in the newly formed Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Army.

During this inspection of the front-line troops, He Zhengdao also took a special operations detachment and a guard battalion on the road as before. When leaving Yulin City, Chen Yun, Ye Jianying and others also came out to see them off.

'Commander, take care! ’

So do you! Political commissar, this mess between the army and the city is hard for you! ’

After smiling and shaking hands with everyone, He Zhengdao rode a horse and left ahead of schedule with the special operations detachment. As for the follow-up guard battalions, some of them followed by cars and some on horseback. More often than not, they serve as receiving troops.

If they all set off with He Zhengdao, I am afraid that He Zhengdao will not be able to really see the actual situation at the grassroots level. In He Zhengdao's view, with a special operations detachment following, his safety is still guaranteed.

After all, most of the places he went to inspect this time were territories controlled by the Eighth Route Army. Even if there are some armed forces that do not obey the control of the Eighth Route Army, I am afraid that they will not be able to make He Zhengdao suffer any big losses.

Compared with many people, He Zhengdao's trip is more to visit and condolence and inspect grassroots troops. But in fact, He Zhengdao, who set out from Yulin City, did not stay too much in some army defense areas on the way.

The first stop he chose to inspect was Woye County, which is now controlled by the Suiyuan Military Division. This place can also be regarded as an important defense area for which the Suiyuan Military Sub-district is responsible. Earlier, Ma Jiajun in Ningxia also tried to occupy the county.

It was only later that the Eighth Route Army continued to rise, and Ma Hongkui, who was in charge of Ningxia, finally gave up the idea of using force to occupy it. But compared to the Eighth Route Army, which deployed a garrison regiment here, the Ma Jiajun arranged a cavalry division.

Even at the end of the year, there will always be some armed horse bandits who cross the border from Ningxia to attack and harass. Although the government of the Yulin Border District has also called Ma Hongkui many times, hoping that he can clear out some armed horse bandits in the territory.

But many times, Ma Hongkui promised to be good, but in fact he still didn't ask. Some areas that are not under the jurisdiction of the Eighth Route Army and the Ma Jiajun have also become a paradise for many wandering horse bandits.

Especially at this time of the New Year, because the heavy snow closes the mountains and roads, many horse bandits who live by robbery will also find ways to harass some villages and towns. At this time, the local garrison seemed exhausted.

And this time, when He Zhengdao rushed to Woye, he had secretly mobilized the Second Cavalry Division and rushed to the territory of Woye by night march. Once these horse bandits also cross the border, He Zhengdao will dare to cross the border to carry out a crackdown!

Although there is no direct evidence to prove that these horse bandits have nothing to do with Ma Hongkui. But for He Zhengdao, he had already warned Ma Hongkui. If he really ignores it, then don't blame him for being rude.

In the final analysis, whether it is the Ma Jiajun in Ningxia or the Ma Jiajun who controls most of Gansu and Xinjiang, He Zhengdao actually wants to eliminate it. These two warlord armies also posed a threat to the rear of the Eighth Route Army.

It's just that at present, the whole country is united in the War of Resistance, and He Zhengdao does not want to provoke a civil war. But for these horse bandits who dare to stab, He Zhengdao doesn't mind killing chickens and monkeys, so that those who are ready to move know the power of the Eighth Route Army! (To be continued.) )
