Chapter 503: Arrived in Yan'an

The origin of penicillin is listed in the top secret by the CCP, Xiao Jinguang does not know, but Cao Lihuai inadvertently heard a little from a central leader, which is enough to make Cao Lihuai know more about Wang Haitao and respect him. Therefore, to Xiao Jinguang's puzzled question, Cao Lihuai smiled and replied: "Old Xiao, don't ask so much, even Chief of General Staff Ye can trust people, do you still have to be suspicious? I also believe in this Commander Wang Haitao." ”

When Cao Lihuai said this, Xiao Jinguang was even more puzzled, but with his intuition, he quickly understood that there must be something in this that he didn't know. Thinking of this, Xiao Jinguang no longer chased after him, but immediately conveyed Ye Jianying's order, and then rushed to Yan'an with Ye Jianying. When Ye Jianying and his entourage rushed back to Yan'an to report Wang Haitao's whereabouts to the central leaders, Wang Haitao and his entourage had already arrived in Huangling County.

Huangling County is the southernmost county under the control of the Chinese Communist Party, and from here, it is Tongchuan County dozens of kilometers further south, and it has entered the defense area of the Second War Zone of the National Army. The Kuomintang army has a tight blockade here, although it is still a period of cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, but under the instruction of Lao Chiang, arms and various materials cannot enter the territory of the CCP through the blockade line at all.

Wang Haitao and their journey, thanks to Wang Weikuan's presence and the certificate and pass prepared for them by Ye Jianying, they arrived in Huangling County smoothly all the way. After arriving in Huangling County, Wang Haitao took the troops into a hidden ravine to hide, and at the same time found Wang Weikuan. Wang Haitao said to Wang Wei: "Brother Wang, I absolutely trust you, so I didn't hide it from you when I had a storage ring." However, I don't want everyone to know about this, so I ask Brother Wang to help me keep this secret, okay?"

Wang Weikuan admired Wang Haitao very much through living with Wang Haitao many times, and always had a strange feeling, that is, he felt that this Wang Haitao brother was like his own relatives, and he unconsciously had a love for his younger generation in his heart. This strange feeling sometimes makes Wang Weikuan feel quite funny, but he is also from Guangxi, and Wang Haitao has saved his life, so there is nothing to feel like this.

After listening to Wang Haitao's words, Wang Weikuan agreed to Wang Haitao's request without thinking about it, and agreed to keep this secret for Wang Haitao. Seeing that Wang Weikuan agreed to come down and keep a secret for himself, Wang Haitao also breathed a sigh of relief. Now things will be easy to do, Wang Haitao waved his hand, and the vehicle in the storage ring was taken out first.

Seeing dozens of trucks suddenly appear in front of him, even if Wang Weikuan was mentally prepared, he was still taken aback. This is not over, and then a large number of arms and various materials were taken out by Wang Haitao one after another. When Wang Haitao finally took out fifty artillery pieces, Wang Weikuan was shocked and speechless.

After he sobered up a little, he asked Wang Haitao with a sense of ecstasy: "Brother Haitao, are these all for us?" Seeing Wang Haitao nod, Wang Weikuan pounced on a cannon, stroking the barrel that shimmered with metallic luster, and couldn't put it down. Wang Weikuan naturally understands the weight of this gift. At present, the only independent artillery regiment of the whole army left in northern Shaanxi is only a dozen Type 92 infantry guns and four imitation Japanese 105 caliber * guns obtained from the Jin Sui Army, and the shells are even less pitiful. In addition, there are some mortars and small-caliber anti-aircraft guns.

At this time, Wang Haitao had already ordered everything to start loading. The artillery can't be dragged like this, it is too eye-catching, and it may bring trouble, so Wang Haitao asked the soldiers to disassemble the artillery into parts and then load it. Wang Weikuan always circled around these cannons, constantly telling the soldiers to be careful. Wang Weikuan's behavior drew bursts of good-natured laughter from the soldiers.

It took a whole day for Wang Haitao's men to load all the supplies. Fifty trucks were filled with these supplies. Seeing that it was getting dark, Wang Haitao ordered to be stationed on the spot for one night, and then to Yan'an at dawn tomorrow, which was also for fear of marching overnight and causing misunderstanding among the CCP troops, and it would not look good at that time. Wang Weikuan also thought that Wang Haitao was right, and agreed to rest for one night and wait until dawn the next day before leaving.

The next day, Wang Weikuan got up at dawn, Wang Haitao knew that he hadn't slept well that night, and wanted to laugh at him, but seeing his bloodshot eyes, as well as the importance of this batch of materials, and also moved by his spirit, it was not good to joke anymore. After everyone had a little breakfast, Wang Haitao ordered everyone to get on the car and set off, so five jeeps took the lead, and the convoy composed of dozens of cars drove out of the ravine and drove onto the road to Yan'an.

As soon as the convoy approached Huangling County, it was discovered by the local defenders. In front of a sentry post, Wang Haitao stopped the convoy, looked at the defenders in the sentry post as if facing the enemy, and without waiting for Wang Haitao to signal, Wang Weikuan, who was in the same car, pushed the car door and got out of the car. Wang Weikuan stepped forward to explain the situation to the top leader of the outpost, a company commander of the guard unit, and showed the certificate and pass.

The company commander still confirmed Wang Weikuan's identity and purpose to the superior leaders before letting them go. In this way, Wang Haitao and the others galloped towards Yan'an again. Along the way, Wang Haitao knew that his party was always under surveillance, but Wang Haitao, who was open-minded, did not mind this kind of being monitored, because if he changed his position, he would not be at ease with such a strong combat force, which could pass freely in his hinterland without surveillance.

Wang Weikuan was worried that Wang Haitao would be unhappy because of being monitored, but seeing that Wang Haitao always looked calm, he couldn't help but admire Wang Haitao's open-mindedness. Wang Haitao also took the opportunity to travel in the same car with Wang Weikuan and taught Wang Weikuan how to help himself fulfill this lie. Because this is just a white lie, and the purpose is just to keep his secret from being known, Wang Weikuan also agreed to follow what Wang Haitao taught him to help him fulfill this lie.

With a car, the speed is naturally very fast, and in the evening, Wang Haitao can already see the pagoda on the pagoda mountain, which also means that he has arrived in Yan'an, and he is only one step away from the revolutionary predecessors who will always be respected in his heart. The closer they got to Yan'an, the more the Eighth Route Army around them, and finally a cavalry team of the Eighth Route Army simply openly accompanied the convoy to advance together, and Wang Haitao didn't mind, but instead reduced the speed of the car, so that this cavalry unit could keep up with him.

When the convoy arrived outside the south gate of Yan'an City, a group of people were already waiting here, Wang Haitao ordered to stop, then pushed the door to get out of the car and walked towards the crowd. When it was close, Wang Haitao couldn't help but stop, what he saw was a familiar and unfamiliar face, in the era before the crossing, from the information, the familiar faces seen in the album, actually appeared in front of him, so that Wang Haitao had a serious sense of unreality.

After being stunned for a while, Wang Weikuan pushed him behind his back, and Wang Haitao woke up from this dream-like scene. Wang Haitao pinched his palm hard, and then he held back the excitement in his heart and greeted the crowd. The tall figure and incomparably familiar face at the front of the group are none other than Chairman Mao, the founding leader of the People's Republic of China. Chairman Mao smiled, walked up to Wang Haitao, and while taking the initiative to stretch out his hand, he said in a Hunan dialect: "Welcome, General Wang Haitao!"

After Wang Haitao stood up and saluted, he held Chairman Mao's outstretched hand with both hands, and said in a slightly trembling voice: "Chairman Mao, hello!" At this time, Chairman Mao had not yet held the position of chairman of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee, but was only one of the five secretaries of the Secretariat of the Central Committee, so Wang Haitao's title made Chairman Mao also stunned slightly. But Chairman Mao still said with a smile on his face: "General Wang Haitao, you have come from thousands of miles away, and this journey is really hard. Wang Haitao said repeatedly: "It's not hard, it's not hard." ”

Then Chairman Mao began to introduce the people behind Wang Haitao one by one, in fact, without Chairman Mao's introduction, Wang Haitao can also recognize more than half of them, such as Marshal Zhu De, Marshal Peng Dehuai, Marshal He Long, Secretary Ren Bishi, and Vice Chairman of the People's Republic of China, how could Wang Haitao not recognize them? There are also Wang Ming, Xiao Ke and some other people after the introduction, Wang Haitao also knew each other, and Ye Jianying, Xiao Jinguang and others in the crowd were also among them.

Almost all the leaders who greeted Wang Haitao here were the leaders of the upper echelons of the CPC Central Committee, and it can also be seen that the CPC Central Committee attaches great importance to Wang Haitao. Wang Haitao also felt flattered, of course he knew what this group of people would mean in ten years. Then, at the suggestion of Chairman Mao, everyone went to the office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China in Yangjialing. Chairman Mao and they brought two old-fashioned jeeps, most of them came on horseback, and now Wang Haitao has a car in his hand, he asked his subordinates to let out the jeeps, and invited Chairman Mao and them to get into the jeeps, and everyone drove to Yangjialing together.

Dozens of trucks and jeeps lined up in the open space outside the office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China in Yangjialing, and Wang Haitao's men lined up in front of the vehicles. The soldiers lined up, and these carefully selected soldiers did not embarrass Wang Haitao, and they could call the word elite right in any aspect.

Chairman Mao and they had already heard Ye Jianying's report that Wang Haitao did not come to Yan'an directly, in order to receive the gifts sent, and now looking at Wang Haitao, they suddenly had dozens of more cars, and they knew that the gifts must be in these cars. Wang Haitao saw Chairman Mao and the others were inspecting his subordinates, took the time to find a few cigarettes from the car, and then came to Chairman Mao's side and said: "Chairman Mao, I invite you to smoke with everyone." With that, he dispersed the cigarette and handed it over.

Chairman Mao saw that it was a cigarette, smiled and picked up the second pack, put one package into his pocket, opened another pack and smelled it, and said with a smile: "Commander Wang, I like this gift, I will accept it unceremoniously." Wang Haitao said with a smile: "Chairman Mao, I came from so far away, and these cigarettes were used as gifts, which is too petty." This is a gift list, please Chairman Mao look at it. After speaking, he took out a thick gift slip from his body and handed it to Chairman Mao.
