Today, the second update, ask for recommendations, ask for collections......

Two days later, the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, led by the deputy commander-in-chief, will go to Datong to personally present a commendation order to Zhang Yunfei in recognition of the brilliant achievements made by the 136th Division in Taiyuan. He will also be accompanied by Commander Lin of the 115th Division and Commander He of the 120th Division.

At present, the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army has just been relocated to Wangjiayu Village and Zhuangbi Village, which are surrounded by lofty mountains and deep ravines. Brick Village is located at the top of Taihang, the mountain is majestic, and the strange peaks are steep. Climb high and look into the distance, the surrounding counties are vivid, if there is an enemy attack, you can also find it early.

Seeing that the Eighth Route Army moved its headquarters here, Zhang Yunfei was a little shocked, which was a whole year earlier than in history, Zhang Yunfei remembered that in history, it was not until November 1939 that the Eighth Route Army moved its headquarters here.

Now, with the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army is the headquarters of the 129th Division, it may be that after Division Commander Liu returned to the division headquarters, he reported Zhang Yunfei's achievements in detail to several bosses, and several bosses were immediately in high spirits and entrusted the deputy commander-in-chief to personally lead the team to Datong, while Division Commander Liu and Division Commander He got the news and rushed from their base areas to ask to go together.

Division Commander Liu and Zhang Yunfei had only been fighting together for a few days, and they had brought back so much equipment, and the two division commanders regretted it when they heard about it, blaming themselves for missing such a good opportunity.

Two days later, Zhang Yunfei and political commissar Fang Zheng led the division headquarters guard battalion, a total of several hundred people out of the city to greet the arrival of the deputy commander-in-chief and his party, in the cold wind, Zhang Yunfei and his party rode war horses, lined up neatly in a long line, standing in the eastern suburbs of Datong, a junction that the deputy commander-in-chief must pass through to greet them. could have been driven there, but it was estimated that the deputy commander-in-chief and his entourage must have come on horseback, and Zhang Yunfei and the others also rode to greet them.

Zhang Yunfei looked at the time, the deputy commander-in-chief and his party should be almost there, and sure enough, not long after, at the end of the road, the figure of the cavalry appeared, and gradually, Zhang Yunfei saw clearly that it was the deputy commander-in-chief and his party.

Zhang Yunfei hurriedly rode his horse to meet him, and shouted loudly: "The deputy commander-in-chief and his party have arrived, everyone will go forward to greet them." ”

Everyone rode their horses to keep up with Zhang Yunfei, ran to the other end of the road, and after a while, the two teams were close, Zhang Yunfei had not yet spoken, and the hearty voice of the deputy commander-in-chief sounded in his ears, and the deputy commander-in-chief rode on a high jujube red horse, and said to Zhang Yunfei: "Master Zhang, congratulations, it took a few days to recover Taiyuan, which really shocked us." ”

"Thank you, deputy commander-in-chief, and welcome everyone to Datong." Zhang Yunfei is also enthusiastic.

After a short greeting, Zhang Yunfei led everyone to Datong City, on the way to Datong, the deputy commander looked at the spacious cement road, the neat houses on both sides, and praised again and again.

A few months ago, the deputy commander-in-chief came to Datong once, but I didn't expect that in less than half a year, Datong had undergone earth-shaking changes, and I almost couldn't recognize the original appearance.

Half an hour later, Zhang Yunfei led everyone back to the warm headquarters, and the guards accompanying the deputy commander-in-chief were taken to the barracks by the soldiers of the 136th Division Guard Battalion to rest.

As soon as he entered the headquarters of Zhang Yunfei's 136th Division, the deputy commander-in-chief spoke again and said in surprise: "Division Commander Zhang, this command center of yours is really good." ”

"Hehe, deputy commander-in-chief, this used to be the headquarters of the little devils in Datong, and after we recovered Datong, we sorted it out a little." Zhang Yunfei hurriedly replied with a smile.

Sitting down at the headquarters, the deputy commander-in-chief was invited by Zhang Yunfei to the middle position, and Zhang Yunfei himself sat down next to the deputy commander-in-chief.

In such a cold weather, it was very hard to run on a horse for a day or two, just drink tea to warm up the stomach, and after serving tea, the guards and soldiers brought melon seeds, peanuts, desserts and other things, which Zhang Yunfei asked the guards to prepare in advance.

Seeing so many things, everyone didn't wait for the deputy commander-in-chief to signal, they took it and ate it, they were all soldiers, they were not so restrained and polite, they were casual, and they looked bold.

Zhang Yunfei saw that it was almost over, and began to report to the deputy commander-in-chief and everyone about the battle of Taiyuan, and when they heard Zhang Yunfei's report, everyone was deeply impressed by Zhang Yunfei's excellent command ability, and even the deputy commander-in-chief praised him again and again.

After Zhang Yunfei finished his report, the deputy commander-in-chief first praised Zhang Yunfei, and then said with a straight face: "Now, on behalf of the Eighth Route Army Headquarters, I specially issue you a commendation order. ”

Zhang Yunfei immediately stood up and gave a military salute to the deputy commander-in-chief, and then took the commendation order with both hands, and said loudly: "Thank you headquarters, thank you deputy commander-in-chief." ”

Seeing that the business was done, the atmosphere suddenly relaxed, and the commander of the 115th Division Lin said half-jokingly: "Commander Zhang, this time your division has recovered Taiyuan and seized a lot of weapons and equipment." ”

After Master Lin finished speaking, everyone looked at Zhang Yunfei with a smile, looking forward to Zhang Yunfei's answer, it seems that everyone's thoughts are similar to Master Lin's.

In fact, it is understandable that everyone is so eager to get a little more equipment, because the arsenal of the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army has limited production capacity, which is far from meeting the needs of the troops below, and most of the equipment of the following divisions has to be captured.

Now the 120th Division has opened up a base area in the northwest of Shanxi Province and will soon go to North China to open up a base area, and the 115th Division is opening up a base area in Shanxi, Chahar and Hebei, the conditions are difficult, and the troops are developing rapidly, and the number of troops has at least doubled compared with the beginning of the War of Resistance Against Japan, which requires a large number of weapons.

As a member of the Eighth Route Army, I don't want to see everyone work so hard, I still try to help if I can, thinking of this, Zhang Yunfei smiled and said: "The equipment captured in Taiyuan, except for a part of the 129th Division Commander Liu, I will keep it for everyone." ”

After listening to Zhang Yunfei's words, everyone's eyes suddenly became eager, and even the deputy commander-in-chief praised Zhang Yunfei again and again, which was really amazing, and made great efforts for the development and growth of the Eighth Route Army.

After listening to the praise of the deputy commander-in-chief, Zhang Yunfei said jokingly: "Everyone, there are more weapons and equipment captured in Taiyuan this time, and I am worried that the number of people is too small to carry it back for a while." ”

After listening to Zhang Yunfei's words, everyone laughed happily, and the deputy commander-in-chief asked with a concerned face: "Division Commander Zhang, how many weapons and equipment have been seized in Taiyuan this time, tell us in detail." ”

"Okay, then I'll tell you in detail." After speaking, Zhang Yunfei picked up the hot tea on the table and drank it gently, moistened his throat, and then said with a straight face: "We have captured more than 40,000 Type 38 rifles, more than 1,000 crooked machine guns, more than 1,000 Type 92 heavy machine guns, more than 100 Type 60 mortars and Type 92 infantry guns, in addition to more than 3 million rounds of various bullets, more than 20,000 shells, and about 20,000 sets of cotton clothes and quilts, but these things, in addition to cotton clothes and quilts, the rest have been given to Yan Xishan. This is what we agreed in advance as a reward for the Jin Sui army's troops. ”

After listening to Zhang Yunfei's introduction, everyone was deeply shocked, they didn't expect that there was so much equipment, and finally heard that half of the equipment was given to Yan Xishan, and they all showed regretful eyes, it's a pity, it's cheaper for Jin Suijun, and a few people even sighed softly, it's a pity, it's a pity.
