As the propaganda window of the Eighth Route Army and the party, the news agency interview group that rushed from Yan'an not only interviewed some things worth interviewing in this reconquest operation, but also hoped to make a report for the independent column.

The strategic significance of recovering Suiyuan and Datong is still of very positive significance to the overall situation of the current War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. Even with the arrival of Chen Siya, He Zhengdao also knew that the Jin Sui Army planned to hold an exchange group between the two armies.

What's even more interesting is that the head of the officer delegation turned out to be Fu Zuoyi, who still returned to Shanxi to serve as the commander of the 35th Army. And the place where General Fu wanted to visit and inspect turned out to be Suiyuan, which the independent column is currently recovering from.

After reading the handwritten letter from Mao Taizu forwarded by Chen Siya, He Zhengdao said with a smile: "It seems that some people still don't give up and want to embezzle the fruits of our victory!" It's just that with this kind of small calculation, aren't they afraid of losing their wives and losing their soldiers? ”

Listening to what He Zhengdao said, Chen Siya said with a little curiosity: "What did the chairman tell you in the letter?" ”

'When will we be married?' ’

Regarding this kind of confidential matter, He Zhengdao naturally did not want to talk directly to Chen Siya. What's more, Mao Taizu has already stated in the letter that this matter is still being discussed. At least the central government, it also feels that the drunkards of this exchange group do not mean to drink.

Chen Siya, who was ridiculed, listened to He Zhengdao's words and said with a red face: "What are you talking nonsense? Why wouldn't the chairman say such a thing in a letter? If you don't tell me, forget it, and laugh at me with this! ”

'Do I have a joke on you?' This time, you come over, and we should discuss the matter of getting married. Can't you want to marry me? I'd be sad if that were the case! ’

He Zhengdao, who rarely showed a trace of childlike innocence, made Chen Siya feel a little surprised. But this kind of He Zhengdao still made her feel very sincere and cordial. After all, He Zhengdao, who usually seems a little serious!

Just when Chen Siya didn't know how to answer such words, He Zhengdao got up with a smile and said, "Okay! Let's go! It's rare for you to come to Yulin, and I need to entertain you well in public and private.

By the way, where are all the people in your interview team now? In the evening, I called Political Commissar Xiao and them to invite you to a meal together. I hope that you, the big reporters, will be more merciful under the press release when you return to Yan'an! ”

We won't be cheating! We will report on what we have seen and heard along the way, including when you invite our interview team to dinner. However, this time we are here, and we should stay for a while. If we can, we want to go to Suiyuan. ’

The news agency sent Chen Siya over, but it did not borrow a light from Chen Siya, hoping to interview more news materials. Especially now, in the places controlled by the Eighth Route Army, the New China News has been officially launched.

The publication of newspapers means that the news materials that need to be reported must be collected by reporters like Chen Siya. This time, the independent column regained Suiyuan and Datong, and the reporters who came to cover the news naturally hoped to go to more places to cover the news.

However, in order to ensure that military secrets are not reported, these reporters also need to send troops to protect them when they go to the base areas. After all, in the base areas of the Eighth Route Army, reporters are often the ones who know the most news.

In the face of Chen Siya's inquiry, He Zhengdao also smiled and said: "I said before that it was a fraud, this will be your news agency, and you want to take the lady's route, a good calculation!" However, Suiyuan will not be able to go for a short time.

Although the entire territory of Suiyuan has been recovered, there are still some horse bandits there who attack and harass the place from time to time. Although I have ordered the ranger squads to strike, you know that sometimes you may not be able to see people after walking for half a day.

If you go, I will need to send at least a battalion of cavalry to protect you. In this case, even if you are asked to do an interview, it is estimated that you will not get the real interview information. Let's wait a few more days! ”

'Will you be able to wipe out those bandits in a few days?' ’

'Absolutely!' Where there are horse bandits, they are actually the control areas of the original little devils. Now that we have recovered Suiyuan, those horse bandits will either take over Zhao'an, or they will have to be eliminated. My cavalry division has already been dispatched to cooperate with the suppression of bandits. ’

As a matter of fact, He Zhengdao had ordered the guerrillas to collect information on these horse bandits who were wandering far away. Even orders were given that horse bandits who dared to attack the countryside were the targets of the guerrillas.

As for the horse bandits who robbed the little devils before, He Zhengdao asked the guerrillas to help them if they could unite. Now that the entire territory of Suiyuan has been recovered, these horse bandits have only two choices, either to go down the mountain or to leave the territory of Suiyuan.

For these reckless heroes, He Zhengdao also knows that there are good and bad people in this group of people, and it is not easy to manage them if they are co-opted. Therefore, these horse bandits did not want to return to the ordinary people's life, so they could only leave Suiyuan and go to Mengdong or other places to make a living.

Most of the horse bandits who have this kind of opportunity are only looking for trouble with little devils. If you usually like to rob horse bandits in villages, He Zhengdao will not be too polite to them. Under normal circumstances, the system of combining suppression and appeasement is adopted.

The heinous leaders of the horse bandits, He Zhengdao will not forgive them for the sake of recruiting peace. For these horse bandits who play Zhao'an and rebel at every turn, He Zhengdao will implement a strict punishment system and make it a typical example.

Seeing He Zhengdao personally welcome the interview team, the reporters from the news agency from Yan'an were very happy. In any case, as reporters of the Xinhua News Agency, they have a certain amount of power.

But compared with military generals like He Zhengdao, they are still insignificant. Even this time, the news agency sent a vice president to personally lead the team. But when He Zhengdao entertained them in the column canteen, everyone was still very moved.

Regarding the vice president's interview application, He Zhengdao said with a smile: "It stands to reason that for the arrival of all the reporters, the base area under the jurisdiction of our column should not be defended against you. However, you should know that there are some places that are not suitable for reporters to take pictures.

If you want to go to the 1st Division and interview the reconnaissance brigade, you can do it, but you can't take pictures of the training and weapons of the barracks and troops. When you come to Yulin for interviews, many of your photos will be printed in newspapers at that time, and they will be easily intercepted by the Japanese army.

Perhaps in your opinion, a picture of a military camp is insignificant. However, those who are good at intelligence analysis can know from the layout of the barracks where the 1st Division and the reconnaissance brigade are stationed and carry out air strikes at that time.

A photo of the troops' training and the armament of the officers and men of the troops can all be used to analyze the combat effectiveness of this unit. Therefore, if you want to go to the barracks for an interview, you must pay more attention when taking pictures.

As for the arsenal, it was a classified unit of our column. Even the officers at the regimental level of the column did not know much about the location of the arsenal. If you want to get in and out of it, you need to go through a strict censorship system.

For this reason, the Arsenal is not suitable for you to go to the interview. Thank you for your understanding. As for the reporters who need to go to the countryside to cover the news, if they are in various parts of Yulin, I will ask the political department of the column to send a staff officer to accompany them.

Please rest assured that we will not cheat. Staff officers are more likely to ensure that you will not be hindered from entering the village. In the base areas of our column, the inventory and monitoring of foreign personnel are still very strict. ”

Listening to He Zhengdao's words, a reporter was surprised and said: "Commander He, can you analyze so many things with one photo?" ”

'This is natural! I believe that on the way here, you also saw that many military restricted areas have been set up in the area under the jurisdiction of our column. Most of these places are arranged in uninhabited places within a radius of three to five kilometers.

It is also extremely difficult to enter the location of our barracks without application. The reason for this deployment is also very simple, that is, to prevent the military camp from being infiltrated and reconnoitred by little devils and other spy agencies.

Therefore, I also hope that all journalists will be careful when taking photos and publishing them in newspapers and magazines in the future. Because many times, some of our intelligence information will be leaked out of a text or a photo.

If you are interested, I can talk to Director Li of the Security Bureau at that time, and ask him to send an intelligence training officer to train you in relevant aspects to reduce this invisible leakage. ’

He Zhengdao, who came from later generations, knew very well that Huaxia did not do a good job in keeping information secret. Similar to this interview team, they even want to go to the arsenal for an interview. How could He Zhengdao agree to this kind of thing!

You know, about the Arsenal, which is now highly classified in the Independent Column. The arsenal still in Yulin is just a stumbling block of an underground arsenal. Everything about the location of the arsenal is kept in the utmost secrecy.

It was precisely this strict secrecy system that made the Japanese army's special high-tech department, which had sent many intelligence teams into Yulin, not collect much useful information. What's more, for the people of Yulin, strangers are suspicious.

Even traders who usually go from village to house often need to apply for a special pass. The vendors who are qualified to do this kind of work are all people who need to be vetted by an independent column. And the little devil's intelligence officer, naturally, can't apply for this kind of pass.

At least in the recent periodicals of the 'New China News', He Zhengdao has also read some of them. As for some reports, it is very inappropriate for him to directly indicate the name of the unit of such and such a garrison regiment or garrison brigade.

In doing so, the little devils and those who are interested in the development of the Eighth Route Army will know the current degree of military expansion of the Eighth Route Army. In order to avoid this kind of thing from happening again in the future, He Zhengdao also taught these reporters a lesson.

After listening to He Zhengdao's narration of the newspaper and the situation that could be analyzed from the reports and photos, the reporters of the news agency were shocked. But this experience has also given these reporters a real wake-up call.

At least the vice president who led the team immediately expressed the hope that He Zhengdao could suggest to the central government and ask the training instructors of the Security Bureau to give them a lesson. Otherwise, they leaked secrets in the future, and they don't know what's going on! (To be continued.) )
