At this moment, the boss, the deputy chief of the general staff, and the old brigade commander, Kong Jie and Li Yunlong, who were all about each other, had successfully led the mobile troops to Yan'an after most of the day's journey.

Along the way, comrades from various defense areas have been answering each other.

Not surprisingly, Kong Jie and Li Yunlong led a mobile unit and carried a large number of armored vehicles, and the comrades who met along the way were stunned and in awe.

The brother troops who responded were escorted all the way, for fear that the comrades along the way would treat the armored troops led by Captain Kong and Commander Li as the Iron King Eighth Troops of the devils.

When the team was on the way, Kong Jie chatted with Li Yunlong.

I thought of the leaders I was about to meet.

Pull out one at random, that is, the old brigade commander will probably have to greet respectfully when he sees it.

Li Yunlong, who claims to be not afraid of heaven and earth, the head of the king of heaven and the eldest of his second child is obviously much more honest than usual.

As a result, as soon as the team arrived at the periphery of Yan'an, the news came, saying that the commander-in-chief had led the cadres to welcome them in advance.

can bluff Kong Jie and Li Yunlong.

Quite flattered, this treatment standard is too high.

But in fact, the commander-in-chief came at him, Kong Er, stunned, and Li Tou.

The commander-in-chief arrived with the generals in a hurry, and the first thing he asked was: "Where are our tanks?" ”

The commander-in-chief was also a little excited at this time, the Eighth Route Army had been suffering for so many years, not to mention what kind of tank troops it was in the past, it was rare to have a few bicycles and motorcycles.

A year ago, I heard that Kong Jie had built an armored corps in a detachment.

When the news reached Yan'an, it was no less than the shock caused by an earthquake.

Later, these tank units must have stayed on the front line to fight and could not be sent to the rear, so the commander-in-chief could only look at the photos and watch the documentary sent by Kong Jie.

Documentary about the training of combat vehicle units.

But I've never seen the real thing.

So excitement is inevitable, even the commander-in-chief who has experienced a hundred battles is actually very new to armored forces.

Usually reading the newspaper in Yan'an, looking at the battle reports of the allied forces, hundreds of planes, artillery, tanks, and the commander-in-chief are almost envious, in fact, they have been looking forward to the Eighth Route Army one day being able to create their own trump card troops.

This time, I heard that Kong Jie and Li Yunlong led the armored troops to fight several beautiful battles in the Mengxi area, and successively defeated the Japanese army's Nanzhi Chariot Group and the Heimu Chariot Brigade.

At present, Kong Jie and Li Yunlong led this victorious division, the elite chariot troops, to Yan'an, and even the commander-in-chief couldn't hold back his excitement at all, so he hurriedly led the team to meet him in advance.

Look at this, touch that.

Until a loud voice rang out.

"Report to the commander-in-chief, Li Yunlong, commander of the new second regiment of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army, and commander of the rapid reaction force directly under the Taihang of the Eighth Route Army, report to you!"

The commander-in-chief seemed to have come back to his senses at this time, looked up at the big head in front of him, and then said with a smile: "Li Yunlong, what are you talking so loudly for?" ”

Kong Jie gave a military salute to the commander-in-chief on the side.

It is better to be famous than to meet, the commander-in-chief who is not angry and arrogant, and the approachable atmosphere is mixed with the style of a general, and Kong Jie has admired him for a long time.

In the face of Kong Jie's salute, the commander-in-chief also returned the salute very solemnly.

His words are like a spring breeze.

"Kong Jie! You are a comrade who has made miraculous progress, and I have heard your name in Yan'an in the past two years, and my ears are almost calloused! ”

Looking at the commander-in-chief in front of him, who was over half a hundred years old and had gray hair, Kong Jie smiled stupidly and innocently.

In front of the commander-in-chief, even Li Yunlong was well-behaved like a good boy, although the commander-in-chief didn't mean to blame him, Lao Li still scratched his head a little embarrassed and explained: "Report to the boss, we are usually used to being loud on the front line!" ”

The commander-in-chief said: "It's good to have a big voice, only when you have a big voice can you have momentum, if you don't even have momentum, how can you fight this battle?" ”

After a few jokes, the commander-in-chief's attention was all on the tanks and armored vehicles in front of him.

The old man pondered in his heart that this tank must not only be seen, but also familiar with its structure, understand its various parameters, and be able to drive.

It is estimated that Kong Jie and Li Yunlong are already very proficient in driving, so it is better to take the opportunity to learn from the two of them on the road.

Why don't you hold a meeting next time, and the comrades from other local base areas will ask him at a meeting, what are the performance parameters of our tanks, and what are the advantages and disadvantages?

If you don't know anything, how can you be this commander-in-chief?

Then the commander-in-chief humbly asked for advice, and Kong Jie and Li Yunlong naturally knew everything.

There happened to be some problems with a few tanks on the way, and Kong Jie and Li Yunlong also taught on the spot, allowing professional maintenance personnel to repair the tanks, while introducing the structure of the tank, as well as some unexpected problems that are often encountered when tanks are fighting.

The commander-in-chief was on the sidelines handing tools to the technicians.

A second group arrived a little later.

Most of them were wearing old military uniforms, and the one headed by them had thick eyebrows and big eyes, with good facial features, sharp edges and corners, and looked like they were in their fifties, polite, and elegant.

As a result, the Japanese security adviser who was routinely inspected, saw these people in old military uniforms, thought they were ordinary people, and almost drove them away, but later heard that it was also the Eighth Route Army, so this group was allowed to stay and visit.

Contingents of armored troops, and even quite a few Japanese comrades from the anti-war coalition, are also a major feature.

These foreign comrades are very skilled and educated, and they have been specially influenced by Chinese culture and the revolutionary beliefs of the Eighth Route Army.

Loyalty and stance are unquestionable.

The only downside is that there are some shafts!

Sometimes when they encounter technical problems, they can't argue, and even the detachment leader Kong Jie dares to scare them.

Lao Kong was sometimes angry and even scolded: "If this is on the battlefield, Lao Tzu will not surprise you!" ”

As a result, when the engine was disassembled, the Japanese adviser happened to catch a man smoking next to the engine, which made the consultant angry enough.

"Yours, what's your name?"

He spoke Chinese, but with a distinctly Japanese accent.

The smoker was a Hunan Yankee, who was similar in age to Kong Jie and Li Yunlong, and should be a few years older, he looked at the little devil who popped out in front of him, and looked a little surprised.

Since the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, this is the first little devil who dares to jump in front of him and talk to him like this!

"Oh, my name is Wang Zhenglin, and I am currently ...... Yan'an"

The Japanese adviser didn't care who he was, and directly interrupted: "Don't you understand the safety regulations?" Yours, smoking next to the engine, in case the fireworks ignite the fuel, there is a big risk.

Since you are also my comrade, I have the obligation to warn you, here is the safety education penalty notice, please sign it! ”

Wang: "......"

In the end, it was Li Yunlong's sharp eyes, and when he saw Wang, who was stumped by the Japanese adviser and was a little embarrassed, he hurriedly ran over, the figure who was not afraid of heaven and earth, but at this moment, he honestly saluted this cadre who was only a few years older than him:

"Report to the commander, Li Yunlong, the commander of the new second regiment of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army, reports to you!"

Lee's big head is a violent temper, and the Japanese adviser is deeply touched by this.

Before he was captured, there was no one in the Japanese army who heard of Li Yunlong who was not afraid.

Therefore, the Japanese adviser still has a lot of respect for Li Yunlong.

Seeing that Li Yunlong was so respectful to the middle-aged general in front of him, the Japanese adviser didn't know what to do for a while.

Wang smiled and said to Li Yunlong: "Li Yunlong, we meet again, but I don't have time to deal with you at this time, and I still have to accept safety education criticism!" ”

The Japanese adviser hurriedly shook his head and said no.

"This is a matter of principle, no matter who makes a mistake, it will always be punished!" Wang was very persistent.

The commander-in-chief, who rushed over after hearing this, also laughed non-stop.

"Haha, Lao Zhou, why are you here too?"

At this time, the commander-in-chief saw the man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and greeted him with a smile.

Kong Jie also saw the leader he had admired for a long time, and respectfully stepped forward to salute.

Zhou Gong vomited, the world returned to the heart!

At this time, Li Yunlong and Kong Jie were still wearing oil-stained overalls.

Wang smiled and said, "Kong Jie, Li Yunlong, what are you doing here?" I know, one of you is the captain of a team, and the other is the commander of the rapid reaction force directly under our Taihang, and those who don't know think you have dug coal! ”

Li Yunlong said: "Report, we are maintaining the command vehicle, overhauling the engine, gearbox, transmission structure, and maintaining the vehicle. ”

"Oh? Do you still repair chariots? ”

Li Yunlong said: "That's it, commander, it's not us bragging, let alone repairing cars, it is estimated that in many years we will be able to build our own cars in the base area!" ”

Kong Jie echoed: "It's better to ask for others than for yourself, and sooner or later China will have its own manufacturing industry, otherwise this technology will be in the hands of others, and we will always be in a passive situation."

It's just that at present, our technology is lacking, and the military industrial foundation is weak, so we can't do this step.

But let's start small!

For example, if our newly developed summer gear lubricant is determined to be better than ordinary lubricating oil after comparison experiments, we can even apply for a patent and then sell it to the allies, which can also make a lot of money! ”

When the generals heard this, they couldn't stop laughing.

"Comrades, we have long heard that there is a comrade Kong Jie in the team, who not only fights well, but also knows how to do business, so it seems that it is really better to meet than to be famous!"

Then on the way to the headquarters in Yan'an.

Among the generals, Kong Jie and Li Yunlong, who belong to the lowest position and the youngest, have become the most eye-catching central figures.

Everyone asked questions about the development of the new Second Regiment, the development of the express response force directly under Taihang, and the situation of a detachment and the Iron Triangle fighting on the front line.

Kong Jie and Li Yunlong were a little flattered, and the cadres around them were all bigwigs.

Even Lao Li, who has a big tail, has to hold his tail and answer honestly.

It's not okay to be honest, Lao Li estimates that even if the old brigade commander he has always feared the most comes, I'm afraid he will have to obediently accompany the smiling faces in front of these bigwigs.

On the way, the people welcomed them even more.

Knowing that it was the armored unit of the Eighth Route Army, there were even more ordinary people who came to pay their respects.

Some half-sized people who do good things even dare to run to the tank and sit on it, touching here and there, and their eyes are full of excitement.

"What a big Iron King! Brother, you also come up and sit, and blame the ass! ”

The commander-in-chief knew a few of the children, and greeted with a smile: "Little Wuzi, aren't you afraid that this tank will press you again?" ”

The child named Xiao Wuzi replied: "I'm not afraid, I will participate in the Eighth Road when I grow up in the future, so I will drive this kind of tank to fight devils!" ”

The children's words made everyone laugh, and the lively atmosphere was pushed to a climax.

After successfully arriving at the Yan'an headquarters, Kong Jie and Li Yunlong were treated like heroes.

The two of them led the armored troops of the Eighth Route Army to defeat the Japanese army's Nanzhi Chariot Cluster and the Blackwood Chariot Brigade in the Mengxi area, and their achievements had already spread in Yan'an.

Kong Jie and Li Yunlong probably don't know that they have become well-known heroes in this area.

He also led a torrent of steel tanks and chariots back.

The military prestige and momentum of the Eighth Route Army were also publicized in the Yan'an area.

After the arrival of the armored troops, according to the instructions of the Yan'an headquarters, it was decided to hold a small review ceremony of the armored units of the Eighth Route Army on the square.

As a result, the day before the ceremony was to be carried out, a rather unexpected uninvited guest arrived.

It turned out to be Mr. Chairman, who was uninvited!

Your Excellency, Chairman of the National People's Congress in Chongqing, has never taken his attention away from the Eighth Route Army behind enemy lines.

After the outbreak of the Battle of Zhejiang-Jiangxi, the Japanese army was huge and the attack was sharp, and the troops of the Chiang army were under the wise command of the chairman...... What was beaten was defeat and retreated.

The Battle of Zhejiang-Jiangxi had an unfavorable start, and the chairman's attention naturally shifted to the rear of the enemy, the battlefield where the main force of the Japanese North China Front and the main force of the Eighth Route Army clashed.

As a result, I heard that the armored units of the Eighth Route Army suddenly appeared and successively defeated two elite tank units of the Japanese army in the Mengxi area.

Even including a tank brigade of the Kwantung Army!

After this news spread, not to mention the Japanese army, the Chiang Junta was also shocked.

The chairman of the committee even scolded Niang Xipi, and he didn't know whether he was scolding the Japanese army for being defeated too badly, or scolding the Eighth Route Army for developing the armored troops under his nose.

In any case, the armored units of the Eighth Route Army, which belonged to the battle sequence of the national army, fought such amazing results.

This commendation order is definitely going to be issued.

After the commendation order was issued, the chairman of the committee was still a little unsure, so he rushed to Yan'an from Chongqing to take a look at the development of the armored troops of the Eighth Route Army and explore the reality.

After arriving in Yan'an, Chairman Chiang was followed by reporters from the Central Powers.

Naturally, it is very kind!

He first talked to Kong Jie and Li Yunlong respectively, and praised him endlessly, and even publicly awarded medals, and even rewarded each with a few gold bars, including a plate of oceans.

This made Kong Jie and Li Yunlong only sigh, now we have become nouveau riche!

At the award ceremony, the chairman of the committee made a high-profile speech: He said that the armored troops built by the Eighth Route Army of the National Revolutionary Army have displayed the military prestige and momentum of the Chinese army...... What is the common hatred of the enemy, what is the cultivation of the party-state...... In short, a lot of chatter.

Li Yunlong, who attended the meeting, listened drowsily.

Kong Jie also wanted to roll his eyes when he heard it, if he heard it correctly just now, His Excellency the Chairman seemed to say that the Eighth Route Army was a combat unit directly under him.

Mother Xipi, this cheekiness is also amazing......
