Chapter 137 The first branch of the east wind (5)

After Liu Yimin returned to Xi'an, he went to Vice Chairman Zhou and asked that the call back from the central government regarding land reform and the establishment of a women's federation had not yet arrived. Knowing that the land reform policy was a major matter, Mao Zedong would definitely think about it seriously and hold a meeting to discuss it. He probably had to wait for the central government to arrive in Xi'an.

It can only be determined later.

At present, we must step up military training and settlement, and the independent divisions must rapidly expand to fully equip their troops.

Therefore, Liu Yimin urged Luo Ronghuan, Cai Zhong, and Zeng Zhongsheng to quickly distribute the large-scale military training plan to all units, urged Wu Zheng to organize the troops to quickly carry out reclamation, and asked the logistics headquarters to set up reclamation offices in each division to be specifically responsible for land planning, land reclamation, seed purchase, seedling cultivation and

Organize farm tools. Daily progress must be summarized and reported to him.

On February 17, which is the 14th day of the first lunar month, Legion Radio Xi'an People's Broadcasting Station officially launched.

This radio station is a private radio station in Xi'an. It has a complete set of equipment. It only needs to replace the cadres and carry out ideological transformation of the original personnel.

Early in the morning, Liu Yimin invited Vice Chairman Zhou, Zhang Wentian, Deng Yingchao, Liu Ying and relevant personnel of the Shaanxi Provincial Anti-Japanese Democratic Government to hold a brief opening ceremony. Even Shao Lizi, the former Kuomintang Shaanxi Provincial Chairman who was temporarily in Xi'an, was also invited to attend.

Zheng Yan, the new director of Xi'an People's Broadcasting Station, is from Jiangsu. She once went to study in the Soviet Union with her father. After returning to China, her identity was exposed and she moved to Hong Kong. There she met Peng Cheng and Yang Dalin, who had returned from studying in the United States, and mobilized them to participate

Revolution and joined the Red Army together. When Liu Yimin's troops were resting in Zunyi, they were sent to the guard division together. Yang Dalin now serves as the chief of the Cadre Section of the Political Department, Peng Cheng serves as the chief of the Military Industry Section of the Logistics Command, and Zheng Yan because of her voice

Sweet, had been a school announcer, and was a veteran of the Red Army, Liu Yimin naturally became Liu Yimin's perfect candidate for the director of the Legion Radio Station.

Zheng Yan looks particularly energetic today. She is dressed in a clean Red Army uniform, which makes her, who is only 1.50 meters tall, look small, exquisite and capable. Her red collar badge and red hat emblem make her apple face look rosy.

The beautiful little girl in the New Year painting, only the small pistol on the belt at her waist can tell people that she is a Red Army soldier who has been tested by war.

After Zhou Enlai, Zhang Wentian, Liu Yimin, and Luo Ronghuan cut the ribbon, the radio station began to broadcast. The overture was "The Internationale" and all the people present sang along with the music. After the overture ended, Zheng Yan's sweet voice came through the microphone.

Come out: "Xi'an People's Broadcasting Station, Xi'an People's Broadcasting Station, this station will officially start broadcasting from today. Dear listeners, I am Zheng Yan, the announcer of Xi'an People's Broadcasting Station of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army. From now on, I will accompany my listeners and friends through every

A day full of hope.”

From then on, the voices of Zheng Yan and her comrades became the voice of the Communist Party of China to lead the people to defeat the invaders and establish a new China. They have been echoing in the skies of Xi'an, Shaanxi, Shaanxi-Gansu-Qingning-Ningchuan, North China, Qilu, and Northeast China.

Along with the wheel of people's liberation, it drifts to the north and south of the Yangtze River.

After Liu Yimin returned to the office, Cai Zhong led Jingjing in.

Liu Yimin took the proof copy of the Legion newspaper "War Flag" handed over by Jingjing. After reading it roughly, he asked whether the current staff of the Legion newspaper was enough. A newspaper could not be produced by just one person.

Cai Zhong said that there are already 5 people, all students brought from Sichuan University, so the manpower should be enough.

Liu Yimin nodded, and then asked them to select some people from among the students in Xi'an to join the Legion newspaper and radio station to study and exercise. All personnel must participate in military training and be able to pick up a pen to write and pick up a gun to fight. Those who perform particularly well can be selected.

Join the training team to study politics and military affairs, and be trained as cadre seedlings.

Jingjing asked Chairman Mao not coming, what to do with the masthead?

Cai Zhong said: "Commander of the Corps, please write the masthead. Chairman and others don't know when they will arrive! If we wait any longer, the news will become old news."

Liu Yimin thought about it, forget it, just write it yourself. It was the Legion newspaper anyway, and the chairman was not here. If Vice Chairman Zhou was asked to ask a question, he would not answer it yet. Don't complicate a simple question. So he wrote "

"War Flag" three words, give them to Jingjing for use.

After Jingjing put away the inscription, she said: "Legion Commander, we will send the proof sample to you in time for your approval."

Liu Yimin stopped her immediately: "Send the proof copy of the newspaper to Director Cai for approval. If major issues are difficult to control, Director Cai and Political Commissar Luo will discuss them."

Jingjing was a little unhappy and said: "They say that the legion commander is the most heroic, but I think the legion commander is the most unfair and partial!"

Liu Yimin had a straight face: "What you say must be based on facts. Why am I being unfair and biased?"

Jingjing was not afraid and said calmly: "They are all subordinate units of the Seventh Army. The Army Commander went to the special operations team to stand guard for the soldiers at around 5 a.m. on the first day of the first lunar month, but the Army Commander has never been to our newspaper office. The Army Commander went to the army

Correcting the study books for the soldiers, sometimes overnight, but for the proofreading of the newspaper I just sent, I just glanced at it and put it down. The commander of the regiment could call out the names of every soldier in the 31st regiment, and he could also call out the platoons of other troops.

The names of the above cadres were mentioned, but they didn’t even ask whether the five comrades in our newspaper were male or female, or what their surnames were. Isn’t this unfair? Isn’t it biased? I even want to report to the army commander alone on the preparations for the establishment of the newspaper.

In this situation, your guards won’t let you in, saying that no one will be allowed in without orders. I’m almost furious!” At the end of the sentence, Jingjing’s eyes were filled with tears.

Liu Yimin smiled: "So that's what I said. Well, I will visit my comrades when I have time later. Don't be angry. Political Commissar Luo and Director Cai are both old chiefs with high levels of policy and theory. You can work

If you have any difficulties, just ask them for instructions. They will help you." After saying that, he waved Cai Zhong and Jingjing to leave together.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, under the organization of the Political Department and the troops directly under the corps, the streets of Xi'an were very lively. The social fire procession and several temple fairs made the festive Xi'an extraordinarily peaceful, giving people the illusion that the war was over.

While the citizens of Xi'an were celebrating the Lantern Festival, Liu Yimin took Tang Xingying, accompanied Zhou Enlai and his wife, and Zhang Wentian and his wife to participate in labor in the Baqiao Heavy Machine Gun Regiment Reclamation Area.

The heavy machine gun regiment's reclamation area is near the Baqiao ruins. The regiment leader Wei Xiufeng, the political commissar Li Yi, and the deputy regiment Wang Runqing saw the regiment commander accompanying Vice Chairman Zhou and Comrade Luo Fu to participate in labor. They were happy and gathered the entire regiment.

Get up and ask the leaders to speak.

Liu Yimin also wanted to ask Vice Chairman Zhou to give a speech to the soldiers. Zhou Enlai smiled and said: "It's better that you speak and I listen. I heard that your speech was very inflammatory. It opened my eyes today."

Zhang Wentian also wanted to hear what Liu Yimin told the soldiers, so he urged Liu Yimin to stop being verbose and speak quickly.

At this time, the weather is getting warmer, and the winter jasmine flowers on both sides of the Bahe River are quietly blooming. Clusters of yellow flowers poke their heads out from the cliffs and between the fields, unabashedly spreading their longing for spring.

Driving it, people immediately feel cheerful and full of hope.

Liu Yimin stood in front of the team, his black gem-like eyes shining on each soldier's face, and his voice was particularly magnetic: "Comrades, this place we are standing is a place of great significance in the history of the Chinese nation. In the late Qin Dynasty

During the peasant uprising, Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty, led his army to invade Chang'an. It was here that he met Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu, and the famous Hongmen Banquet took place here. Later, Liu Bang defeated Xiang Yu and established an unprecedentedly powerful Han Empire. During the early Tang Dynasty,

Two hundred thousand Turkic cavalry stormed Chang'an. Li Shimin, the great hero in the history of our Chinese nation, Tang Taizong, set up a suspicious formation on the banks of the Weishui River. He used thousands of men to disguise himself as the main force of the Tang army and signed the Weishui Alliance with the Turkic Khan, which gave the country precious

With the opportunity to recuperate, the Tang army swept across the Turks in just a few years and ushered in the prosperous age of the Tang Dynasty."

The soldiers were silent and listened carefully to Liu Yimin's words.

Liu Yimin changed the subject and said: "Now, our country is invaded by Japanese invaders abroad, warlords are separatist inside our country, the central government of the Kuomintang is extremely reactionary, and the people are living in dire straits. Our Red Army is a team led by the Communist Party of China, and is a team of workers and peasants.

At this critical moment, we must step forward to defeat the Japanese invaders and the Kuomintang reactionaries, fight for independence for the country, fight for liberation for the nation, and fight for happiness for the people. Back then, Liu Bang could start from here and defeat Xiang Yu and Li Shimin

Can we start from here and defeat the Turks? Comrades, tell me, can our heroic workers' and peasants' Red Army, like our forefathers and martyrs, use this as a starting point to defeat all invaders and reactionaries and build a strong and prosperous new China?

"

The soldiers shouted in unison: "Yes!"

Liu Yimin nodded with satisfaction: "The heavy machine gun regiment is a heroic unit, a unit that has repeatedly accomplished extraordinary feats. From the fire support squad of the Jianbing platoon during the breakout of Xinwei to the fire support platoon of the Jiandao company during the bloody battle at Gulingtou, from

The heavy machine gun company of the 18th Regiment reaches the guard division, and the heavy machine gun regiment of the Seventh Red Army. In all the battles when the Seventh Red Army grew and grew, the heavy machine gun regiment fought with them in every battle, and played a decisive role in every battle. You guys

Your efforts, your struggles, and your achievements will forever be engraved on the high-flying battle flag of our Seventh Red Army. As the commander of the Seventh Red Army, I always remember the heroic feats of the cadres and soldiers of the Heavy Machine Gun Regiment in my heart.

I am proud, proud, and glorious to have comrades like you. Comrades, answer me, are you glorious?"

The soldiers who were incited by the legion commander to fight fiercely roared like thunder: "Glory!"

Liu Yimin waved his hand and said: "Today, I accompanied Vice Chairman Zhou and Comrade Luo Fu to visit you and work with you. I just want to see if our heroic heavy machine gun regiment can be as productive as it is on the battlefield."

You must know that after we occupied Shaanxi, Chiang Kai-shek would not give up. He was nothing more than using two hands, one was military encirclement and suppression, and the other was economic blockade. We are not afraid of military encirclement and suppression, and we will destroy as many as they come. This economic blockade is more vicious.

It is very likely that we will starve. To deal with Chiang Kai-shek, we must also use two hands, one hand to grab the gun barrel, and the other hand to grab the hoe. If you pick up the gun, you can stand in battle, and if you pick up the hoe, you can produce. You can do it yourself and have enough food and clothing. I ask you, not only do

Fight bravely, but also be a production pacesetter and a model for increasing production and harvesting. When the autumn harvest comes, the warehouses will be full of white cotton, yellow soybeans, and golden corn. At that time, I will bring the art troupe to give a special performance for the comrades. Everyone says, is it good?

?”

After the soldiers answered, Liu Yimin ordered the troops to move away. He also went to get a shovel, and together with Tang Xingying, next to Zhou Enlai and his wife, Zhang Wentian and his wife, began to clear up wasteland.

Tang Xingying had never done this kind of work before. After a while, her hands were blistered.

Liu Yimin felt sorry for her and helped her remove the blisters. He asked her to call Sister Deng and Sister Liu together to help the soldiers boil water. He chatted with Vice Chairman Zhou and Zhang Wentian while working.

Zhang Wentian was also a scholar, so he sat down and rested after a while.

Liu Yimin has never actually done farm work, but he is in good health, and this wasteland was originally fertile land that was abandoned due to the war. Therefore, it is not very difficult for him to work.

Liu Yimin threw a pack of cigarettes to Zhang Wentian and asked Vice Chairman Zhou to stop and rest for a while. He was full of energy and wanted to finish the tasks of the three families by himself.

Zhang Wentian said: "Comrade Liu Yimin, how can I listen to your speech with such high motivation and inciting power? With your instigation, not to mention a person, even a stone can make you roll around in excitement. No, you have to

Take some time to speak to our provincial government officials."

Liu Yimin said while working: "That won't work. If I am in a good mood, I will go and encourage your cadres. In less than an hour, your cadres will be crying and shouting that they want to join our Seventh Army Corps as soldiers. By then, you will

Several leaders insisted on scolding me."

Vice Chairman Zhou smiled and said, "Just brag! You are so instigative, why haven't you incited Xiao Tang to marry you yet? We are all waiting for the wedding banquet!"

Liu Yimin immediately stopped talking, buried his head, picked up his staff and plowed the ground hard.

Zhang Wentian knew that Zhou Enlai had hit Liu Yimin's weak point, so he smiled and said: "Enlai, you don't know that there is a kind of person in this world who is a hero when he meets his enemies and is a brother when he meets his comrades. But this time when he meets a woman,

What a bear! Our Commander Liu Daxiong, Liu Daxiong, is still a young man, and he still doesn’t know the benefits of marrying a wife?”

Liu Yimin also stopped and said with a smile: "You want to have a wedding banquet, but I won't let you have it. When I fight the Japanese in the future, I will grab the most beautiful girl in Japan and she will be my servant girl. Then that will be enough."

, I sat there, and the most beautiful girl in Japan knelt in front of me, shouting "Thank you for your hard work, sir," and kept beating my legs with her little hands. Do you think she is so beautiful?"

Just when he was feeling proud, he saw Tang Xingying standing next to him with water. Liu Yimin hurriedly took the water and took a sip, and quickly said that the water in the Weihe Plain was sweet. After saying that, he put the bowl towards Tang Xing

Sakura stuffed it in her hands and started working quickly.

This made Zhou Enlai and Zhang Wentian laugh out loud.

The three of them talked and laughed while working, and by the time it got dark, they had completed their day's tasks.

At night, we stayed at the camp of the heavy machine gun regiment.

After dinner, Liu Yimin called Wei Xiufeng, Li Yi and Wang Runqing to ask if the seeds had been implemented.
