....................................
Before Zhang Yunfei was waiting there, he saw a group of more than a dozen people riding war horses towards this side. The sharp-eyed Zhang Yunfei saw that he was Deputy Secretary Gao of the Central Committee (fictional) who was greeting him, so Zhang Yunfei hurriedly brought everyone to meet him. The two sides were still more than ten meters away. Deputy Secretary Gao said enthusiastically: "Teacher Zhang, welcome to Yan'an."
"Secretary Gao, you are so polite. Yunfei is asking you." Zhang Yunfei said politely and modestly.
Zhang Yunfei's attitude made Secretary Gao feel very comfortable, so Secretary Gao smiled and said, "Everyone is a revolutionary comrade. Commander Zhang should not be too polite, too modest. A few days ago, I heard that Commander Zhang was coming to Yan'an. Many of our comrades were very happy and wanted to see the style of our anti-Japanese heroes."
After hearing Secretary Gao's words, Zhang Yunfei smiled slightly, did not reply, and waited for Secretary Gao to continue to speak.
Secretary Gao first praised Zhang Yunfei, then talked about the serious matter and said seriously: "Teacher Zhang, this is how we arranged it. You should go to the central organs for rest first. We will report the news of your arrival in Yan'an to the Chairman immediately. You can wait for the Chairman's summons in our organs."
"Okay, everything is up to your arrangement." Zhang Yunfei said with a smile.
"Then let's go to the government lounge first." Secretary Gao took the lead, and Zhang Yunfei and others hurriedly followed. Everyone rushed to the location of the central government. On the way, Secretary Gao was afraid of neglecting Zhang Yunfei, so he occasionally exchanged greetings with Zhang Yunfei, introducing some situations in Yan'an from time to time.
When they arrived at the central government, Secretary Gao enthusiastically introduced Zhang Yunfei to everyone. Many people looked at Zhang Yunfei in admiration. Zhang Yunfei shook hands with everyone one by one, and then Secretary Gao brought Zhang Yunfei and others to the lounge. Then, Secretary Gao and Zhang Yunfei were polite and said a few words before leaving the lounge and went to work on their own affairs.
Anyway, it was a long time, so Zhang Yunfei leisurely drank the hot tea brought by the orderly soldiers, picked up the newspaper from the newspaper stand, and slowly looked at it. At noon, Secretary Gao warmly invited Zhang Yunfei to have a simple lunch.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Secretary Gao came in again with a look of spring breeze and said happily to Zhang Yunfei: "Teacher Zhang, Chairman Zhang is free now, I will take you to see the Chairman."
Secretary Gao took Zhang Yunfei and rode his horse and walked slowly. It took him a long time to reach the cave where Chairman Gu Yue lived and worked. Secretary Gao smiled at the person standing guard outside the cave, namely one of the Chairman's personal guards, and said with a smile: "Xiao Zhao, please come in and report it, and then you will say that Commander Zhang of the 136th Division has arrived."
As soon as Secretary Gao finished his words, before Xiao Zhao could go in and report, the Chairman's unique, cheerful and magnetic voice sounded in the cave: "Sir Zhang is here, come in quickly."
Zhang Yunfei quickly sorted out his military appearance, then strode towards the cave. When he entered the cave, he saw the chairman writing. Zhang Yunfei stood quietly aside for fear of disturbing the chairman's pleasure.
The Chairman's writing was finished immediately and he said to Zhang Yunfei: "Teacher Zhang, please sit down, don't be too restrictive."
Zhang Yunfei sat down a little flatteredly, smiled, quietly looked at the Chairman, waiting for the Chairman's words.
The Chairman looked at Zhang Yunfei's performance with satisfaction, and then said kindly: "Teacher Zhang, I have read your Datong Battle Report seriously. I am very happy that you have achieved such a great victory. On behalf of the Party Central Committee, I congratulate you on behalf of the Party Central Committee."
"You have won such a great victory, and Lao Jiang, who is far away in Chongqing, is a little unable to sit still. Look, didn't you send us a telegram not long ago and give you a number of the 36th Army?"
Seeing that the Chairman had just reached the point, Zhang Yunfei quickly sat upright, looking energetic, and then said to the Chairman: "Chairman, we can achieve such a great victory entirely due to the correct leadership of the Party Central Committee. This time, Chiang Kai-shek gave us a number of the 36th Army. I think it is of ulterior motives."
The Chairman said calmly: "Tell me what you think."
"At present, we are in the period of cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, and the guns are unanimous to the outside world, but Chiang Kai-shek has been strictly preventing our party and army and limiting our development and growth everywhere. This time, he gave us this number, with the purpose of creating suspicion and friction within our party and army.
However, I will not let Chiang Kai-shek's conspiracy succeed. We will uphold the Party's absolute leadership over the army and firmly obey the decisions and instructions of the Party Central Committee. No matter how we grow stronger, we will always be the Party's army and the people's army.
So, I suggest that we should not accept the number of the 36th Army. We should continue to use the number of the 136th Division and belong to the battle sequence of the 18th Army."
Zhang Yunfei's words made the Chairman very happy. The Chairman said kindly: "Teacher Zhang, I feel relieved if you have this understanding and thoughts. However, we must accept the number of the 36th Army."
"Chairman! I think it's good for us to use the number of the 136th Division." Zhang Yunfei suggested.
"Accepting the number of the 36th Army was studied and decided by the Central Committee of our Party. We cannot openly confront the Kuomintang. Now is the period of cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party. If we want to maintain the national united front, we still have to make certain concessions and obey some of the Kuomintang's decisions."
Seeing the Chairman say this, Zhang Yunfei knew that his troops would be called the 36th Army in the future. So Zhang Yunfei immediately stated: "Chairman, we support the decision of the Party Central Committee. We will successfully expand into the 36th Army. In the future, we will also resolutely implement the decision of the Party Central Committee."
"Well, I'm very happy that you have this idea and understanding, but expanding it into the 36th Army requires a large amount of weapons, ammunition and supplies. Do you need the central government's help?" the chairman asked.
"Thank you, Chairman, we do not need the central government's help for the time being. At present, our base area can produce some weapons and ammunition on its own. I want to support the construction of our group army enough. In addition, I also know that the central government is not rich now, so it will give priority to supporting the development and construction of other brother troops with limited financial and material resources."
"Okay, the central government will no longer allocate funds and weapons to your army. However, if there are any difficulties in the future, we can still propose them to the central government."
Seeing that the talk was almost over, the Chairman walked to his desk, picked up a piece of the words he had just written, and said to Zhang Yunfei: "Teacher Zhang, I'll give this piece to you. I hope you can kill more Japanese devils in the future and create new glory."
Zhang Yunfei took the letter from the Chairman's hand with a little excitement and opened it. He saw four vigorous words "Anti-Japanese Heroes" appearing on the paper. Zhang Yunfei immediately felt a little red with excitement. This was written by the Chairman.
Zhang Yunfei carefully put away his words and thanked him repeatedly.
After leaving the chairman's cave, Zhang Yunfei found that his back was a little wet. I don't know if he was sweating when he was excited just now or because he was nervous.
Chapter completed!
