Jiang Cheng was the first to get off the boat accompanied by Jin Shan, and saw Lin Sanhu and others looking at him with a smile, after Jiang Cheng introduced both sides, Lin Sanhu said, "Lianyungang may be attacked by the Japanese army at any time, it is not safe, I think it is better for you to leave as soon as possible."

Bao Ruide refused and said, "General Lin, we are very interested in this only port that is still in the hands of you Chinese, and I am also a soldier, I am not afraid of death." ”

Xie Weisi stepped aside and wanted to take a picture of Lin Sanhu and Bao Ruide together, but immediately a soldier stepped forward to stop him and said, "Comrade, we are not allowed to take pictures!" ”

Xie Weisi can also speak Chinese, naturally understandable, looking at Jiang Cheng and Lin Sanhu for help, Jiang Cheng explained to Bao Ruide and Xie Weisi, "Although this is the place where the Eighth Route Army is located, it is also behind enemy lines, so this secrecy work is the first, especially General Lin Sanhu, starting from Pingxing Pass, repeatedly defeating the enemy, can be said to be one of the most hated generals of the Japanese army, just at the beginning of this year, General Lin also bankrupted the siege conspiracy of the North China Japanese army against the anti-Japanese base in Shandong, so this photo is still forgotten, If you really want to prove that you have arrived in Lianyungang, I think you can shoot something else. ”

Lin Sanhu is indeed famous for the Chinese and Japanese army, but for Bao Ruide they are nothing, Bao Ruide knows that he is not allowed to take pictures, but some sensitive photos can not be taken, but he also understands, Bao Ruide said to Lin Sanhu, "General Lin, I have long heard that your Eighth Route Army is very strong in combat, and you can fight evenly with the Japanese army behind enemy lines without the rear, I am very curious, how did you do it?" What is the difference between your Eighth Route Army and the Chongqing government army? ”

Lin Sanhu thought for a while and said, "If you want me to say, I'm afraid it's a little unbelievable, it's better to do this, I'll let you go to our military camp, you can take a look for yourself and ask, this should be better than me telling you." ”

Bao Ruide immediately rejoiced: "If that's the case, it's the best." ”

Xie Weisi raised his hand and said, "I want to know about the lives of the people in your base area, so can you let me go to your village to have a look." ”

Lin Sanhu also agreed, "Okay, I'll give you our map, and you will let you go to whichever village you want to go to." ”

Bao Ruide happily went to the barracks to understand the situation, Xie Weisi also ran out of the city with the camera, and Jiang Cheng stayed with Lin Sanhu to discuss what other resources the 115th Division needed.

When the two arrived at the barracks, it was also three o'clock in the afternoon, Bao Ruide only felt that his stomach did not listen to the call, he had not eaten yet, and Nie Rongzhen, who accompanied him, said to Bao Ruide, "Lieutenant Colonel Bao Ruide, we have time to eat, why don't we go to eat together, just after eating, you can just take a look at the training of the soldiers." ”

Bao Ruide looked at his watch strangely and asked, "It's afternoon, do you want to have afternoon tea?" ”

Nie Rongzhen laughed and said, "Where do we have so much time, this is a meal, we are not as rich as you in the United States, and I don't know if you know that there is a food shortage in a large area of our China, and it is very good that the soldiers can eat enough, we are now using a two-meal system, and only eat three meals when we are fighting, just to save some food." After eating this afternoon, we trained until dark, and then we learned cultural knowledge, disbanded at half past eight, and turned off the lights at nine o'clock to rest. That way you won't be too hungry at night. ”

Bao Ruide immediately nodded and said, "I see, it just so happens that I am also hungry, I am very interested in your Chinese food, let's go quickly." ”

Nie Rongzhen smiled when he heard this, "I'm afraid this will disappoint you, there is no food in our army, at most, that is, to feed you." ”

When he came to the restaurant, he saw a group of soldiers patting the neat team and cooking, and Bao Ruide nodded and asked, "Where is the room where we eat?" ”

Nie Rongzhen was stunned for a moment and said, "I'm sorry, our Eighth Route Army is a combination of officers and soldiers, there is nothing special, only the wounded and sick number has a small stove, in order to supervise the officers did not eat a small stove, all the officers must eat with the soldiers, so ah, we also have to line up with dishes and chopsticks." As he spoke, someone brought bowls and chopsticks and handed them to Nie Rongzhen, Bao Ruide, Xie Weisi and others.

Bao Ruide looked at the aluminum alloy lunch box, wooden chopsticks and soup spoon, shook his head and said, "I don't know how to use chopsticks, but I brought a fork, it's okay, I'm curious, why do you do this, in our United States, and even in any army I know, officers and soldiers are hierarchical, and there will never be a time when generals and soldiers eat together." ”

Nie Rongzhen smiled and said, "This is our difference, in your eyes, we are superiors and subordinates, and in our eyes, we are just different jobs, comrades with the same goals and common aspirations, we think that if the officer and the soldier are separated, then there is no way to know the situation of the soldier, then when the war is fought, it will definitely not know himself, and it will make the soldier not understand or disobey the officer's order, so that the military order is not understood, which will lead to the defeat of the war, I was a work-study in France, I studied an article at that time." , it is said that the French emperor Napoleon was exiled after his defeat, and when he was exiled, he reflected on why he failed, and finally exclaimed, do you know what it is? ”

Barred was also a soldier, and he was naturally very familiar with the deeds of the great emperor and military strategist of France, and he said with a smile, "Emperor Napoleon said, I haven't had soup with the soldiers on the front line for a long time." ”

Nie Rongzhen clapped his hands and said, "That's right, and we're doing what he didn't do back then." ”

Soon, it was Nie Rongzhen's turn and others, Bao Ruide looked at his rice, he ate noodles today, probably because he was on the beach, in addition to cabbage, potatoes and other vegetables, there were also fish balls, these fish balls were made by Jiang Chengjiao, and they were mass-produced by machines from later generations, so that the fish meat could be used to the greatest extent, it was easy to make, and the food was nutritious.

Nie Rongzhen pointed to the side and said, "There are chili peppers, soy sauce and salt over there, you can season them yourself, these seasonings are unlimited." ”

Bao Ruide frowned and looked at the noodles, smelled them, and then added some chili peppers at Nie Rongzhen's insistence, ate them again, and immediately nodded and said, "Although it is not a delicacy, but it is very important to eat it, vegetables are very important, and grains are also very important, what is this white ball?" I've never seen one. ”

Nie Rongzhen said with a smile, "This is called fish balls, legend has it that there was an emperor in China who liked to eat fish very much, but he didn't like fish bones, every time he ate fish bones, he had to kill people, the chef had no choice, every time he made fish, he hated and feared, once he smashed the fish to vent, smashed and smashed, he suddenly found that the fish meat became puree, so he had an idea, and made the fish paste into balls and presented it, this is the fish balls." You can eat it, and it still tastes very good. ”

Bao Ruide took a bite slowly with some hesitation, and suddenly the taste of the fish balls surprised him, and he gave a thumbs up again and again and said, "GOOD!" Your soldiers eat very nutritious, with wheat, vegetables, and fish, but can this be the same meal, or is it the same for all meals? ”

Nie Rongzhen turned to the company commander next to him and asked, "What did you eat yesterday?" Be honest! ”

The company commander immediately replied, "We ate Wowotou and millet porridge yesterday morning, the side dish was radish strips, and each person had an egg to supplement nutrition, and in the afternoon, we ate white flour steamed buns, and the side dishes were sour and hot shredded potatoes and fish ball soup. ”

Nie Rongzhen was puzzled: "What's the problem?" ”

The company commander suddenly said with a bitter face, "Company commander, can we stop eating fish balls, replace them with pork or something, eat fish balls every day, and the soldiers are tired of eating them." ”

The regiment commander next to him grabbed the company commander and said, "Some eat, you still scream!" I think you're having too many good days! ”

Nie Rongzhen waved his hand and said, "What the soldiers said is very reasonable, eating a dish every day, even if it is a good thing, I can't stand it, so let's do it, the reason why we eat fish balls every day is because our patrol troops will catch some fish by the way when they go out, and these fish will be made into fish balls, I will react to the division commander when I go back, take out some bacon, and change to bacon at least one day a week." ”

The company commander snapped and stood up and said, "Yes! ”

Suddenly, there was a burst of singing. "All the soldiers of Geming must keep in mind that the three major disciplines and eight points of attention should be paid attention to: first, all actions should be obeyed by command, and only by moving in unison can we achieve victory! Second, I don't take a needle and thread from the masses, the masses support and like me! ”

Bao Ruide hurriedly looked, but a platoon had finished eating, and was lining up to sing and leave, looking at the energetic Eighth Route Army, and then thinking back to the national army he had seen in Chongqing, Bao Ruide suddenly had a hunch that if these two teams really fought, the victory would definitely be on the side of the Eighth Route Army.

Then, Nie Rongzhen took Bao Ruide to observe the training of the soldiers, Bao Ruide looked at the soldiers holding wooden guns and hanging bricks to practice posture, and felt strange, Nie Rongzhen explained, "Although our bullets are not as difficult as they were back then, they still have to be saved, so we require that they are not sure that they are not allowed to shoot, which makes the soldiers must have an excellent feel, the first step is to hold the gun steadily, so practice the feel like this, the weight will bring memory to the human body, and when they hold the real gun, they will not tremble, This is a new regiment of recruits and veterans, what you see is the first stage of practice, in the second stage, they have to put bullets on the bricks, our requirement is that the bullets are not allowed to fall, and if they fall, they will practice! ”

Although Bao Ruide finally understood that this would enable the soldiers to hold their guns firmly, there were still some complaints, but the overall training of the Eighth Route Army was really satisfying. Bao Ruide was a little unconvinced at first, so he picked out a few soldiers to test, and found that all of them were qualified, Bao Ruide was a little staggered, he did not expect that in distant China, these thin-looking farmers did not have any ambiguity in their tactical movements, whether it was shooting, throwing bombs or crawling forward, whether it was rolling, leaping forward or bending forward, it was extremely standard. What especially opened Bao Ruide's eyes was the infantry tactics of the 115th Division, three people, covering each other, one after another, Bao Ruide estimated and found that a 105 howitzer could only kill 2 groups at most, which was still without cover, and the civil engineering operations shown by the 115th Division showed that it was not a simple matter to have no cover.

In the evening, Barred and Xie Weisi got back together.

Xie Weisi saw Bao Ruide walk into the room, immediately closed the door and said, "Lieutenant Colonel Bao Ruide, you are finally back, it's incredible, the countryside here is completely different from the Chongqing government, I can see from their expressions, they are not afraid of these Red Party Eighth Route Army at all, and they also have family members who have taken the initiative to join their troops, I went to their farmland to see, their water conservancy here is obviously repaired, they are an agricultural country in China, as long as the political forces that value agriculture have not failed in history." And their Red Party obviously attaches more importance to the countryside than the White Party! ”

Bao Ruide rubbed his hands and said, "I spent a whole day in their army, their atmosphere is very different from that in the Chongqing army, and the atmosphere of our American army is also different, there is a corrupt atmosphere in the army in Chongqing, although there are also many well-trained officers and soldiers, but the prejudice between the troops and the troops is very deep, veterans and officers often bully the subordinates and recruits, and in the army of the Red Party, I feel that they are a family, they... It gave me a wonderful feeling that they were still learning the culture at night, and the soldiers could read and write, and it was hard to believe that this was a backward East. ”

Xie Weisi said with a smile: "Lieutenant Colonel Bao Ruide, I think we need to arrive in Yan'an as soon as possible, and take a look at the views of the Central Committee of the Red Party of China on us in the United States. ”

Barred nodded, and said, "We can establish diplomatic relations between the United States and the Soviet Union, let alone China's Red Party, but I am worried that the Soviet Union is now very close to Germany, and if the Soviet Union finally forms an alliance with Germany, will the Chinese Red Party also ally with Germany?" If that's the case, we'll be busy in vain, so the key for us this time should be to verify whether the Chinese Red Party will obey if the Soviet Union wants the Chinese Red Party to form an alliance with Germany and Japan! ”

Xie Weisi shook his head and said, "I don't think it's possible, the Chinese Red Party armed forces have been fighting with Japan for so long, where is it said that reconciliation is reconciled?" ”

Although he is a soldier, he is surprisingly politically savvy, which is probably one of the reasons why the U.S. government finally chose him to Yan'an, he said calmly: "Which is deeper than the hatred between the Chinese Red Party and Japan, and the hatred between the Chinese Red Party and the Chongqing government?" As far as I know, Mao, the supreme leader of the Chinese Red Party, and his wife died at the hands of the Chongqing government, and the families of other Red Party members died countless times. ”

When Xie Weisi heard it, too, there was such a big feud between the red party and the white party, and he would let it go when he said that he would let it go, I heard that this was still a request of the Soviet Union, who knows if they would let go of their hatred with the Japanese again, but don't become Italy during the last World War, then the United States will become a joke.
