Unparalleled Warriors of Anti-Japanese War

As the Red Second Front Army went north, the Red Fourth Front Army rested in Baoxing.He Zhengdao, who was far away in Yulin, finally ushered in the first heavy snow after winter.This pair of He Zhengdao, who was originally a northerner, also felt very kind to him.

But for many officers and soldiers of the independent column, it was the first time for many of them to see such heavy snow.such a cold winter.Fortunately, before the winter, the officers and soldiers of the various regiments stationed in northern Shaanxi had already put on brand new winter clothes and cotton clothes.

Seeing the first snowfall, He Zhengdao said with the same interest: "Xiangdong, order the reconnaissance team and the second division to find tools for me to clear the snow on the roads of the whole city. In addition, patrol the whole city to see if there are any People who need our help."

'Yes, Commander! '

After more than two months of getting along, the people who have settled in Yulin City are also delighted to find that the exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes apportioned to them in the past have been much reduced.The Red Army stationed in Yulin City is also more reasonable than the officers and soldiers of the 86th Division.

Most importantly, the newly established border region government can really solve their difficulties and troubles.The local hooligans and the local tyrants who dominated the city in the past did not dare to bully them wantonly.

This change in the living environment made the Yulin people who had previously resisted the arrival of the Red Army quickly accept this independent column stationed in Yulin.Similarly, the merchants in the city also found that there were fewer government officials looking for their Solaka.

As long as they pay taxes according to the regulations, if they encounter any troubles in doing business, they can even seek help from the border government.This improvement in the business environment has also made many businessmen happy.

Perhaps the only ones who are really unhappy are those traders who used to like to collude with officials.Because they had no choice but to find that bribing officials of the border region government was a very serious mistake, and one who was not good would even go to jail.

The cleanliness of the border region government protects the interests of legitimate merchants and respects the rights and interests of legitimate citizens.Although it will still damage the interests of some people, in He Zhengdao's view, it is enough to take care of the interests of most people.

Seeing these independent column officers and soldiers who took to the streets early in the morning, carrying shovels instead of guns, many ordinary people who felt that it was inconvenient to travel were delighted to find out.The snow that had piled up on the road was quickly cleared away.

But the ones who are really happy are undoubtedly the vendors in the market.Originally, in their view, today was a day to take a break.But as the streets were cleaned up, many people still came out to go shopping.

This seemingly inconspicuous matter has virtually increased the status of the independent column in the hearts of Yulin people.Orders like this were also issued by He Zhengdao to the troops stationed in each station.

What was really moving was the warm-up activity jointly organized by the Independent Column and the Border Region Government after the heavy snowfall.Even if it costs a lot of money, in He Zhengdao's view, it is very necessary to do it.

Activities like this to send warmth, although there are suspicions of selling people's hearts.But the problem, the common people buy it!It can not only solve the real difficulties of some ordinary people, but also increase the popularity of the base area.What's the point of doing this kind of thing?

At the same time, after receiving a report from the Border Region Government, Mao Taizu and Zhou Enlai, who were far away in Yan'an, also smiled and said: "This kid, although every time he does things that seem a bit out of the ordinary, he can always achieve miraculous results." .

I dare say that after this winter, the people living in Yulin may soon forget the rule of the King of Yulin.If the independent column expands its army next year, I'm afraid it will be able to recruit many high-quality soldiers! "

Zhou Enlai saw the blood with his finger, and said the effect that "send warmth" can achieve.Mao Taizu also nodded and said: "Well, regarding this matter, I think other border region governments can learn from the military region.

Although other military regions may not have sufficient material reserves, I think it is still possible to squeeze out some cotton-padded quilts.Anyway, this is our base, and the support of the people is very important.

Even here in Yan'an, we have to provide some supplies to help these poor people.At least I hope that in the first year of our Red Army's management here, there will be no such thing as starving to death or freezing to death. "

'Okay, then I will inform the logistics department and promote this matter.Some time ago, we happened to have a little leftover of the cotton-padded clothes and quilts sent by Yulin Woolen Mill.At that time, let the ministries and commissions also organize it. '

'Okay, let's decide like this! '

Along with other border regions and military regions, such activities have been launched.Many poor people who received cotton-padded clothes and quilts were undoubtedly moved by such warmth beyond words.From the heart, it also truly recognized the existence of the Red Army.

And He Zhengdao also believed that under the subtle influence, these common people would also become the backbone and foundation of the people who most supported the Red Army in the base area.Even if the central army wants to encircle and suppress in the future, I'm afraid it will be firmly opposed by these people.

He Zhengdao, who came from later generations, has a deeper understanding of these five words than anyone else.But as the head of the headquarters, they also saw that this kind of activity would play an inestimable role in publicity in winning the hearts of the people in the base area.

Even if someone knows, they will think that this is the Red Army trying to buy people's hearts.But in fact, this seemingly small thing has rarely been done before.After the arrival of the Red Army, this matter began to be implemented.

Although it is winter at the moment, it is not conducive to the high-intensity training of the troops.However, He Zhengdao quickly ordered that all units of the column should maintain their daily drills.In the rest of the time, all strengthen political and ideological studies.

The most important thing is that the cadres in charge of political education in each army should take advantage of the rare winter break to impart cultural knowledge to the officers and soldiers of the army.To put it simply, it is to teach troops to read and write.

Even for the enthusiasm of the officers and soldiers to learn, He Zhengdao also issued an unspoken rule.That is, in the promotion rules for military commanders of the independent column in the future, priority will be given to the promotion of those with a high level of education.

It means that if two people are eligible to be promoted, the person who can read the most characters will be promoted first.After such a regulation was promulgated, the enthusiasm of all officers and soldiers to learn culture seemed to have increased a lot.

And He Zhengdao's approach is also to lay the foundation for starting to shape the cultural literacy of the troops.After all, some of the soldiers in many armies across the country can't even write their names.How can such troops be expected to understand the righteousness of the nation? (To be continued.)

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

After inspecting the military and political work in the defense area for the first time, He Zhengdao, who returned to Yulin City, was also welcomed by the senior column and the leadership of the border area.With such treatment, He Zhengdao also felt that he really seemed to be number one now.

After chatting with Xiao Jinguang, the political commissar who came to greet him, and Lao Xi, the chairman of the Border Region Government.He Zhengdao, who entered Yulin on foot, looked at the bustling market, but stopped for a while.

He smiled and said, "Old Xi, it seems that this city is much more lively than when I left."

'That can!Although there are many more businesses in the city, isn't it the Chinese New Year coming soon!At this time, ordinary people hope to buy some special purchases for the New Year.It is also like this that the business of the merchants has boomed a lot during this period of time! '

He Zhengdao, who heard this, was a little taken aback and said, "Ah! The Chinese New Year is coming! During this period of time, I was only traveling around, and I really didn't remember that it was the Chinese New Year. What arrangements does the Border Region Government have for this Spring Festival? ?"

Faced with He Zhengdao's inquiry, Old Xi asked in confusion, "What does Commander He mean?"

'This is our first New Year's Day in Yulin. Didn't the government consider doing something?As far as I know, there are many folk customs in Yulin, and there are also many folk artists such as Xiaoqu, Yangge, suona, and waist drum.

Such a festive day is rare. I think the border region government can organize a group of artists and invite them to come to Yulin for a military-civilian gala during the Spring Festival. Our column will pay for it, and your government will send people to organize it.How about it? '

He Zhengdao, who has come to this era, is even used to the lifestyle of resting in the dark.But he also felt that the entertainment life of the people in this era is pitiful.Every time there is a big show in the countryside, there are huge crowds of people.

Now that the Red Army is stationed in Yulin, He Zhengdao feels that it is necessary to do something for the people, not only in life, but also in spirit.The military-civilian party is undoubtedly a way to speed up the emotional integration between the army and the people.

As soon as he heard that the column paid the money, Lao Xi immediately smiled and said: "Okay! As long as I have money, I will take care of organizing the people. It seems that the commander has been very interested in Yulin's customs and customs. You know a lot!"

He Zhengdao, who heard this, shook his head and said, "Old Xi, I don't dare to say that. I just want to think more, and if I want to realize these ideas, I need your help. Lao Yao, leave this matter to You are in charge here, okay?"

'OK!I will get in touch with Lao Xi!However, you plan to set the military-civilian party on that day. '

'On the night of New Year's Eve!The second division here, pay attention to security work.At that time, except for the troops on duty, the rest of the troops will also come to have fun.Having such a night can also ease the homesickness of soldiers. '

'Yes, Commander! '

As the teacher of the second division, Xu Renyi undoubtedly supported such an event.Many officers and soldiers in the army are from the south, but the custom of Chinese New Year is actually similar to that of the people in northern Shaanxi.

At such a time, watching other people's families celebrate the new year, the soldiers' homesickness will undoubtedly become stronger.If there is such a party.Relieving soldiers' homesickness may allow soldiers to better integrate into the army.

He Zhengdao, who returned to the station, gave Xiao Jinguang, Yao Shengjun and others a report on the inspection of the troops.Generally speaking, the situation of the independent columns stationed in various defense areas is relatively optimistic, and the logistical support is relatively guaranteed.

After giving the report, He Zhengdao said: "Old Xiao, Lao Yao, Lao Wang. This winter, the training of the army is mainly about political thought and cultural studies. But after the year, I decided to carry out the training of the army's large-scale military training.

Although the situation around us is leveling off at the moment, you should all be aware.Lao Jiang will not let us develop with peace of mind.At that time, he will definitely organize another large-scale encirclement and suppression operation.At that time, there will be another tough battle to fight.

The chief of staff and I are responsible for the training of the troops.The political commissar and Lao Yao stared at the ideological education and logistical support of the troops.Once the troops carry out large-scale training, logistical support must keep up.

in addition.After returning from this inspection, I still want to set up a military farm.This military reclamation farm is used as a place to house the disabled soldiers of the column in the future, and this farm can also be used as a source of income for our column.

In the past, we had no fixed place to live, and many wounded soldiers had to stay where they moved to fight guerrillas.But now we have the conditions, and I think it is necessary, to give them a job so that they can feel that they are still useful.What do you think? "

The Army Reclamation Farm was also created when He Zhengdao inspected the various troops and found that many disabled officers and soldiers were dejected in the rear hospital.For He Zhengdao, these disabled officers and soldiers are also the wealth of the troops.

The high-level columns participating in the meeting were all officers who had led troops, so they naturally knew that He Zhengdao's arrangement would make the officers and soldiers feel more at ease when fighting on the front line.But regarding the Army Reclamation Farm, they found it somewhat difficult to handle.

Xiao Jinguang, who was in charge of the property of the column, quickly said: "Commander, I agree with your suggestion. It's just that how much does it cost to run this farm? At present, our column's reserves are not much."

'Don't worry, I've already thought about it on the way back.In addition to allowing the government to allocate a piece of land for the military reclamation farm, let them cultivate it.There will also be small factories where the soldiers stationed there will manage production.

For the capital investment in the early stage, it is only necessary to build a resident for them.In addition, I have already thought of a practical idea of ​​making money. Taking advantage of this winter, I want to organize a military reclamation farm to produce things first.
