The Rise of the Great Powers in the War of Resistance

It will be August [-]st soon, and the headquarters sent a telegram that the cadres above the whole army division will go to Yan'an to study and have a meeting, and at the same time celebrate the August [-]st Army Day.

Immediately he can go to Yan'an, the Holy Land of Revolution, and see the long-admired "Chairman", Prime Minister and other great figures. Zhang Yunfei is very excited when he thinks about it.

Yan'an is currently the seat of the "government" of the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region, and is the political, economic, cultural and military center of northern Shaanxi. Yan'an is located between the three mountains of Baota Mountain, Qingliang Mountain, and Phoenix Mountain, and at the confluence of the Yanhe River and the Fenchuan River. The location of the city is a battleground for military strategists. It is known as "the top of the throat" and "an important military town".

Since we are going to Yan'an soon, we still need to make some preparations. The journey to Yan'an is several hundred kilometers away, and walking is definitely not enough. Zhang Yunfei is going to drive there.

At present, the entire Datong base area and the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia base area are basically connected together. Do not cross the enemy-occupied area and the Kuomintang-controlled area. Datong and Yan'an are connected by roads. Although the road conditions are not very good, it is faster than riding a horse. [

What's more, this time Zhang Yunfei is going to send some gifts to Yan'an, and he also needs truck transportation.

Regarding what to send, Zhang Yunfei has already thought about it. Although the material foundation of the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region is still weak, it is much better than it was a year or two ago. Although the life of the troops is hard, they can basically eat half full.

At present, the biggest shortage in the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region is weapons and ammunition. According to Zhang Yunfei's understanding, although the various units of the Eighth Route Army are developing rapidly, they still have a serious shortage of weapons and ammunition. There were only three or five, and the rest of the warriors were all holding broadswords and spears.

The main force of the Eighth Route Army may be better. Basically every soldier has a rifle, but the ammunition is basically very small. Each soldier only has a dozen or twenty rounds of bullets. This amount of bullets is usually like a baby. Carry it with you, and you don't want to fight at all during training. You only use it when you are fighting, and it is worse than your own militia.

It is precisely because of this that Zhang Yunfei is planning to go to Yan'an this time to bring a batch of weapons and ammunition there. In the last battle, so many devils were wiped out and a large amount of Japanese equipment was seized.

Zhang Yunfei may not like these equipments, but other brother troops will definitely regard them as treasures.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yunfei quickly asked the correspondent to notify the political commissar and deputy division commander Liu Dazhu to come to the headquarters.

Not long after, the two came to the headquarters one after the other. Seeing that there were more of them, Zhang Yunfei said to Fang Zheng, the political commissar, "Political commissar, how much Japanese equipment do we have in our arsenal?"

"We still have more than 4000 Type 800 rifles in our arsenal, more than 200 crooked machine guns, more than 200 Type 100 heavy machine guns, more than 300 Type 5 mortars, and more than [-] Type [-] infantry guns. , more than [-] million rounds of Japanese [-]mm bullets, and more than [-] rounds of various artillery shells.”

"Okay, it seems that we have quite a lot of inventory? Anyway, we don't use these things very much. This time I will go to Yan'an and plan to bring some to the brother troops."

"Okay, I agree. It's not easy for the brother troops. Those who lack guns and ammunition are just like us last year. They are clinking poor." Deputy division commander Liu Dazhu said.

"That's right, we are now self-sufficient, so it's time to help our brother troops." Political commissar Fang Zheng said with emotion.

"Since everyone has no objections, I will be the master this time. I will bring 200 [-]-type rifles, [-] crooked machine guns, [-] [-]-type heavy machine guns, and [-] [-]-type machine guns. There are one hundred ninety-twenty infantry guns, two million rounds of ammunition, and fifty thousand rounds of shells."

"Teacher, so many things, I estimate that dozens of trucks can be loaded." Liu Dazhu said worriedly.

"Don't we have more than 100 trucks? A hundred trucks were dispatched to deliver these items, and the soldiers were asked to check the condition of the trucks, fill up the fuel, load the trucks this afternoon, and set off at [-]:[-] tomorrow morning."

"Okay, please rest assured, teacher, I will make arrangements." Political Commissar Fang Zheng said.

"Oh, in addition, we beat up local tyrants and landlords and seized a large amount of gold and silver, which is enough for us to use for more than a year. In this way, we will allocate another [-] oceans and send them to Yan'an together."

The next day, at [-] o'clock in the morning, Zhang Yunfei arrived at the headquarters just after dawn. Political commissar Fang Zheng and deputy division commander Liu Dazhu were already waiting there.

Zhang Yunfei looked at Fang Zheng, the political commissar, and said seriously: "I will go to Yan'an this time, and it is estimated that it will take ten and a half months. During my absence, we must do a good job in the industrial construction of our base area, especially the automobile factory and the armored vehicle factory. We must not slacken at all in the construction of our country, and we must not be soft-hearted towards those little devils and coolies, we must give full play to their maximum value, and it doesn’t matter if a few little devils are exhausted.” [

"Teacher, don't worry, I will definitely do a good job in the construction of the base area." Fang Zheng, the political commissar, promised.

"Okay, I feel relieved with your words." Zhang Yunfei said in relief.

Then Zhang Yunfei said to Liu Dazhu: "Dazhu, we have taken a big step in expanding our army this time, but there is nothing we can do about it. We were all "forced" by the little devils, and time waits for no one.

This time we have recruited so many recruits, we must do a good job in the training of the troops, and we must strictly follow the training outline I wrote. We must remember that the more you sweat during training, the less blood you bleed on the battlefield. "

"I must remember what the division commander said, and resolutely complete the troop training mission. When the division commander comes back, he must see a valiant army." Liu Dazhu said, patting his chest.

"Okay, okay, then I'm relieved, I'm leaving, you take care, and the radio station will contact you if you need anything."

Zhang Yunfei, political commissar Fang Zheng, and deputy division commander Liu Dazhu briefly explained some other matters, and then Zhang Yunfei boarded the jeep that the headquarters had already prepared.

Seeing the division commander got into the car, the soldier in charge immediately started the car and drove to the west gate of the city. There, the convoy had already been prepared, and they could set off immediately when Zhang Yunfei arrived.

One hundred vehicles lined up in a long queue, [-] vehicles were filled with weapons and ammunition, and another [-] vehicles were filled with soldiers. And six special forces members, who are responsible for the transportation are soldiers from a transportation company.

As soon as Zhang Yunfei arrived, everyone started to set off along a loess road leading to Yan'an. More than 100 vehicles lined up in a long queue, winding slowly along the road, which was very spectacular.

Zhang Yunfei's small jeep drove at the front, and the convoy followed closely, kicking up a large cloud of dust.

Since the distance was hundreds of kilometers and there was plenty of time, Zhang Yunfei did not ask the troops to rush, but controlled the speed at about [-] to [-] kilometers per hour.

In the evening, the convoy arrived in Yulin City. After a short rest in Yulin City that night, the convoy continued to set off early the next morning and arrived in Yan'an at noon the next day.

Seeing Yan'an in sight, Zhang Yunfei was also very happy. The long journey was finally over and he finally arrived in Yan'an smoothly.

The road is full of wind, sand and dust. The road in the northwest is really difficult, and the road conditions are bad. I am almost torn apart by the bumps.
