I really came here to fight against Japan

Commander Tian secretly asked Song Wenwan: "Commander Song, what does he mean?"

Song Wenwan whispered: "He is not a party member yet."

Commander Tian: "He is also a corps commander. Shouldn't we invite him to the military meeting?"

Song Wenwan said, "How should I know?" and prepared to go down the mountain overnight and return to the Third Division's base.

The next morning, no news came out.

The troops in the Iron Army's base showed no sign of preparing to set out.

In the morning, the intelligence officer in charge of surveillance came back to report.

"According to what they said, we need to wait a little longer."

"What are you waiting for?"

"It seems like they are waiting for public opinion to develop in their favor."

Song Wenwan: "..., Commander Tian, ​​let's proceed according to our plan!"

By mid-December, all the troops in the temporary capital were in place.

The attendants of the secondary capital suddenly changed their usual attitude and became unusually firm.

They even issued an ultimatum to the military, saying that if they did not leave, they would be regarded as rebels, and the various troops began to shrink their defense lines.

At this time, the military finally took action and set off after the Gregorian New Year.

When the temporary capital saw that the overall situation had been decided, he no longer cared about the next few days and decided to wait until after the New Year to decide on everything.

On the afternoon of January 1st, the military submitted the documents as required.

He informed the Minister of Defense who came to supervise him of the exact time of his departure.

Because the route was also set by the National Army, all we have to do is let the Iron Army follow the route.

The national army said that this was because they were afraid of misunderstandings between them and the local militia, and also to avoid accidental shootings.

The military leaders thought it made sense and did as the National Army requested.

That night, they all had a meeting at the military headquarters.

We are leaving this revolutionary holy land tomorrow, and everyone is sighing.

At this time, the commander was very calm. He took the camera given by Song Wenwan and took pictures for everyone.

At eight o'clock in the evening, a sentry suddenly came in to report.

"Reporting to the leaders, a troop from our New Fourth Army just arrived outside.

They said their unit's number was the Iron Army Guard Brigade, which had gone out to develop, and now they requested to return to the unit."

"Iron Guard Brigade? How come I have never heard of this unit? Does anyone know about it?"

A leader said: "I know this, there really is such a guard brigade.

When our Iron Army was first established, they did show up, and it seemed that they were all made up of our old cousins ​​from the Soviet area.

However, they went to the coastal areas to develop, and after fighting a few battles, there was no news of them.

They haven't contacted the military yet. I thought they were dispersed by the Japanese, but I didn't expect that their organization is still there."

The chief said: "Today is New Year's Day, and another unit has returned to the organization, which is a double blessing!

Come on, let's go outside and take a look to welcome our hero back."

One leader said: “A brigade has been out for three years, so at least two to three thousand people should come back.

This will further strengthen the military strength of our Iron Army."

Everyone happily went outside the military headquarters to welcome the new troops.

Seeing that everyone had gone out, the commander handed the camera to the guard and went out as well.

After walking and laughing for more than twenty minutes, we finally arrived at the outermost sentry position.

I saw several people standing under the torches, who looked like military leaders.

Behind them, no warriors were lighting torches.

But it can be seen vaguely that many soldiers are standing solemnly in the shadows.

The leaders' eyes lit up, these are all good soldiers!

In such cold weather, he can still maintain such a good military posture. He is obviously a strong soldier.

"Who among you is the leader of the army? I am the head of the Iron Army. Welcome back to the military."

Immediately, a man stepped out of the line and trotted over to salute him.

"Reporting to the commander, Fu Shan, commander of the Iron Army Guard Division, has been ordered by the headquarters to return to the Iron Army headquarters.

May I ask where the commander is now? I have something to report to him. "

"Um"?

Looking at Commander Fu Shan who saluted him, the Iron Army leader retracted his outstretched hand.

He quickly got some surprising information from what Fu Shan said.

First of all, they are no longer a Guards Brigade, but should now be a Guards Division.

This unit went out for three years of development and turned a brigade of 5,000 people into a division. This is a great thing.

Second, they said they were the Army Commander’s Guard Division, not the Iron Army Guard Division.

The difference of just one word makes a huge difference. The Military Guard Division must obey the command of the Military.

If it is the army commander's guard division, then they will be the same as the guards, they will only obey the orders of their army commander.

The third point is that as soon as Division Commander Fu Shan returned, he went to report to the army commander.

There is no organization or discipline at all. Don’t you know who is the boss?

Fortunately, the leader was a broad-minded person and did not make things difficult for the division commander.

He turned around and said with a smile: "Comrade Commander, Commander Fu has come back to see you, you must entertain them well.

Let the cooking company start cooking and prepare a hot meal for the comrades who have returned.

It’s a pity that we have to leave tomorrow and we can’t let you have a good rest for a few days.

I can’t let you have a look at the elegance of our Jiangnan Little Yan’an.”

When Division Commander Fu Shan saw the army commander coming, he immediately stood at attention and saluted him.

"Commander of the Army and Commander of the Guard Division, Fu Shan, on behalf of the entire Guard Division and 23,000 officers and soldiers, salute you!"

There was a loud "boom", and as Fu Shan's voice echoed among the mountains, the sound of neat salutes was heard from the mountains again.

"What, they came back with 23,000 people this time?"

Listening to the echo in the mountains, everyone has already determined this number in their hearts.

"Comrade Commander, the military leaders are all here. I will now announce the order of Red Northern Shaanxi to you."

At this time, the leader had already walked over and asked Commander Fu Shan: "Commander Fu, what's the matter, didn't you come back from the south?

Why do you have orders from the Shaanxi-Northern leadership in your hands? "

Fu Shan took out two letters from his briefcase and handed them to each of them.

"This is a handwritten letter from the leader of northern Shaanxi. Please take a look at it first.

If you don't believe it, you can enable the highest level password and confirm my identity to Shanbei.

At this time, the leaders are waiting in the telecommunications room in northern Shaanxi, you can send the message now."

The army commander and the military leaders began to read the letter, but no one knew what was written on it!

After a while, the chief of Tiejun's telecommunications department came over and nodded to everyone in confirmation.

"Reporting to the leaders, we have just confirmed with Red Shaanxi that everything is correct. Let us do as Commander Fu Shan said."

Fu Shan glanced at the army commander and military chiefs who had already read the letter.

“The leaders of northern Shaanxi have ordered that the command of the Iron Army is now fully handed over to the army commander.

After the breakout... the military chiefs will return to northern Shaanxi to report on their work and will be assigned other important tasks."

The commander said: "Okay, time is running out, now everyone listen to my orders.

First, comrades from the Military Security Bureau, destroy all documents immediately.

It is now eight o'clock in the evening. You must complete this task before midnight.

Second, notify all troops in the military headquarters and distribute ammunition and two days of dry food.

We will set off on time at 12 o'clock tonight and everyone should wrap a white towel around their right arm.

We just need to let them follow our guard division. "
