After leaving the division headquarters, Liu Gen headed towards Yan'an.
In order to reach Yan'an as soon as possible, Liu Gen chose to walk in a straight line, which had to pass through several areas occupied by the Japanese. On the way, Liu Gen also encountered Japanese patrol troops, but because Liu Gen was careful enough, the Japanese did not
No trace of Liu Gen was found.
When passing through Qinyuan County, Liu Genyou was discovered by the puppet army. The puppet army originally wanted to pursue Liu Gen, but after Liu Gen killed one of the puppet soldiers with two shots, they decisively chose to give up. These puppet soldiers and Liu Gen
There was still some distance before Liu Gen easily killed them. When they rushed to Liu Gen's side, they didn't know how many more they would be killed by Liu Gen.
Without the Japs around, these puppet troops were unwilling to fight Liu Gen to the death. They attacked Liu Gen just to see if they could easily capture Liu Gen and make a great contribution. But after discovering that they wanted to capture Liu Gen, they wanted to capture Liu Gen.
After having to pay a considerable price, they gave up the idea of taking action against Liu Gen.
In the areas where the various county towns occupied by the Japs were located, Liu Genyou found that the people in these areas were living a very difficult life. He even saw many villages destroyed by the Japs. Liu Gen could also see that these
The Japs troops patrol the area very intensively.
With such a strong patrol intensity, if the Eighth Route Army troops really launched an attack on them, then these Japs would definitely be able to react in the shortest possible time.
By the time Liu Gen arrived in Yan'an, it was already mid-August, and he spent a full week on the road.
"Genzi, you've finally arrived." As soon as he arrived in Yan'an, Liu Gen met an acquaintance, Captain Niu, who was once the 386th Brigade Artillery Team.
Liu Gen was also quite surprised to see Captain Niu. He knew that Captain Niu was transferred to Yan'an, but he didn't expect to see Captain Niu just after he arrived. Originally, Liu Gen was planning to come to Yan'an when he came to Yan'an.
Captain Niu wanted to tell Captain Niu that the 386th Brigade Artillery Team had done a very good job under his previous leadership.
Now even though Liu Gen does not have time to return to the 386th Brigade Artillery Team, he has always paid attention to the performance of the artillery team in various battles, and in various battles, the artillery team performed quite well. Even without Liu Gen
With this captain, the soldiers of the artillery team were also very brave in combat.
It is precisely because the artillery team has been performing very well that Liu Gen wants to tell Captain Niu about the recent situation of the artillery team. Otherwise, even if Liu Gen comes to Yan'an, he will not go to Captain Niu. Development of the Artillery Team
Very good, Liu Gen will have the courage to see Captain Niu.
"Captain Niu, I didn't expect to see you when I first came to Yan'an."
"How is your health now?" Liu Gen asked with concern. Liu Gen could see that Captain Niu looked much older than when he stayed in the 386th Brigade, which made Liu Gen couldn't help but worry about Captain Niu's physical condition.
Liu Gen had a good impression of Captain Niu. When he took over the artillery team, Captain Niu also helped him a lot.
"Don't worry, my body is still fine. I should be able to last for a few more years. I just feel more comfortable when I stay in Yan'an than at the brigade headquarters. There is no fighting, so I always feel like something is missing." Captain Niu patted his chest hard.
, said with a smile.
Seeing Captain Niu's performance, Liu Gen confirmed that Captain Niu really didn't have much of a problem. Even if he had some minor injuries, it shouldn't have much impact.
For soldiers, after leaving the army, they will have some minor injuries. A large amount of training every day will make the soldiers strong enough to fight, but it will also inevitably leave some hidden injuries during the training.
Even Liu Gen is not sure whether his body has any hidden wounds. These hidden wounds will only be exposed after he reaches a certain age.
"Let's go, you finally arrived in Yan'an. Let's find a place for you to have a good rest first." Captain Niu walked towards the room prepared for Liu Gen. Liu Gen will stay here during his stay in Yan'an.
Liu Gen looked at the time. It was still early. He was a little tired from the journey, but he was not too tired. Thinking of the letters in his backpack, Liu Gen had no idea of taking a rest. He took advantage of the fact that it was still early.
, it is better to send the letters in the backpack out earlier.
"Captain Niu, I'm actually not that tired. I think it's still early, so why not let me deliver the letter I brought to Yan'an."
"These letters are written by the teachers and others to their families. I believe that their families also want to receive the letters as soon as possible, and have these letters delivered to their hands as soon as possible, so that I can feel relieved as soon as possible." Liu Gen stopped and said
He opened his mouth and said to Captain Niu.
Captain Niu was a little surprised, but he did not expect that the division commander and the others would have such trust in Liu Gen. It seemed that the division commander and the others just asked Liu Gen to send the letter back to Yan'an, but this also represented the division commander and the others' trust in Liu Gen.
"Are you really okay? Don't hold on." Captain Niu was still a little worried about Liu Gen's health.
Captain Niu clearly knows how many Japs-occupied areas he has to pass through from the division headquarters to Yan'an. Along the way, no matter how good Liu Gen's ability is, it still requires a lot of energy. Only a brave young man like Liu Gen
Only people dare to travel alone through areas occupied by so many Japanese.
If Captain Niu were to come, then Captain Niu would not have enough confidence to cross so many areas occupied by Japanese soldiers without any problems on the way. It would be too difficult.
"Captain Niu, I really have no problem." Liu Gen confirmed.
Seeing that Liu Gen had made up his mind, Captain Niu only needed to take Liu Gen to find the places where the teacher and his family members were located one by one. The two of them were riding horses. Otherwise, it would still be difficult to send all these letters in a short time.
of.
Of course, Liu Gen, who had just arrived in Yan'an, was not familiar with the environment in Yan'an. With Captain Niu's leadership, he was able to find the specific location of the division commander and his family members so quickly. To be able to send these letters out so quickly, Liu Gen needed to work hard.
I have to thank Captain Niu.
On the way back, Captain Niu and Liu Gen led their horses and walked casually. They kept talking and talking about what happened to each other.
After Captain Niu came to Yan'an, he was transferred to the headquarters artillery regiment as the battalion commander. He was responsible for training the soldiers on weekdays. After knowing that Liu Gen was coming to Yan'an, Captain Niu kept counting the time and asked for two days' leave.
Come to pick up Liu Gen.
Fortunately, Liu Gen came to Yan'an today, otherwise Captain Niu's vacation would be over in another day. If Liu Gen didn't come, it would be difficult for him to see Liu Gen in the first place.
"It hasn't been long since the headquarters artillery regiment returned to Yan'an, right?" Liu Gen asked curiously.
Captain Niu nodded, was silent for a moment, and then said, "Is the situation in the base area so severe? The headquarters artillery regiment will definitely play an important role in the battle against the Japanese if it stays in the base area."
"Is it too stressful to transfer the headquarters artillery regiment back to Yan'an?"
Feeling Captain Niu's gaze on him, the smile on Liu Gen's face disappeared, and he said helplessly: "Captain Niu, you have not been in the base area during this period, so you are not very aware of the severe situation in the base area."
"Before leaving, the commander of the Japanese First Army, Yoshio Shinozuka, mobilized a large number of troops to encircle and suppress our anti-Japanese base area. Perhaps this was the last act of madness. This time the encirclement and suppression was particularly severe, and the base area suffered great damage. And in
After the new commander of the Japanese First Army, Yoshio Iwamatsu, took office, he continued to organize troops to carry out raids on the anti-Japanese base areas."
"In just a few months, the Japanese raided the anti-Japanese base areas more than ten times. Faced with the crazy raids by the Japanese troops, we could only choose to avoid their sharp edges and the anti-Japanese struggle in the base areas entered a new stage.
An extremely serious situation.”
"..."
Liu Gen carefully described the situation in the base area for Captain Niu. It was true that he had been staying in Huangyadong, but he could also understand the specific situation of the anti-Japanese base area. Faced with the continuous raids by the Japanese troops, each unit could only move its troops
Spread out to avoid being found by the Japanese. At the same time, because the Japanese continued to build gun towers and strongholds in the base area, the scope of the base area was reduced.
However, even though the situation faced by the anti-Japanese base areas was very severe, the soldiers still had great hope for the development of the anti-Japanese base areas. Even if the intensity of the Japanese raids intensified again, the soldiers still had the confidence to persevere.
"No wonder the headquarters artillery regiment will be transferred back to Yan'an. Considering the situation in the base area, the artillery regiment will not be of much use if it remains there. On the contrary, it is very likely to be exposed and suffer crazy attacks from the Japanese troops." Captain Niu understood.
Captain Niu didn't have a clear understanding of the situation in the base area before, so he naturally felt that it was unnecessary to transfer the headquarters artillery regiment back. Now that he knows the specific situation in the base area, he can naturally understand the headquarters' good intentions.
After learning about the severe anti-war environment in the base area, Captain Niu didn't have much to say, and there was obvious solemnity and worry on his face.
"Captain Niu, you don't need to worry too much about the situation in the base area. The difficulties will only be temporary. When the Japanese have problems, it will be time for us to fight back." Noticing Captain Niu's change, Liu Gen comforted him.
Captain Niu gave a wry smile and put his worries about the base area deep in his heart. He knew that even if he worried about the soldiers in the base area, he would not be able to do anything if he stayed in Yan'an. Captain Niu looked at the people beside him
Liu Gen had a little more expectation in his eyes. There are many outstanding young people like Liu Gen in the base area. With these young people here, the base area should be able to continue to develop.
Taking Liu Gen back to the arranged room, the room arranged for Liu Gen was not big, only one room, but this room was relatively close to the bosses in Yan'an, which was undoubtedly a privilege.
Now Captain Niu is the battalion commander of the artillery regiment of the headquarters. He lives in the artillery regiment. He is alone and has no family. Living in the artillery regiment is undoubtedly the most suitable. After talking with Liu Gen for a while,
Captain Niu chose to leave and after receiving Liu Gen, he successfully completed the mission and could continue to train the soldiers of the artillery regiment with peace of mind.
After seeing off Captain Niu, Liu Gen did not wander outside. He returned to his room, took two bites of the dry food he had brought with him, and fell asleep directly.
On the way to Yan'an, Liu Gen couldn't sleep peacefully by himself. He needed to stay vigilant at all times to avoid encountering enemies. Now that he has successfully arrived in Yan'an, Liu Gen doesn't have to worry about any dangers he will encounter.
The person then relaxed and soon fell into a deep sleep.
When Liu Gen woke up, it was already the next day. There were soldiers waiting for him outside. The bosses knew that Liu Gen came to Yan'an for the first time, so they specially arranged soldiers to follow Liu Gen to facilitate Liu Gen's life in Yan'an these days.
.
Liu Gen was a little touched. The bosses were so busy that they even specially arranged a soldier for him.
With a soldier following him, Liu Gen's life in Yan'an was undoubtedly much more convenient. However, this time Liu Gen came to Yan'an and didn't have much time to hang out. On the second day after arriving in Yan'an, Liu Gen was beaten by his boss.
They called over and asked about the situation in the base area. At the same time, Liu Gen also learned about his mission.
Liu Gen's mission in Yan'an this time was very simple, that is, to tell about his experience in establishing an artillery school, and to give lessons to the soldiers of the Headquarters Artillery Regiment if he had time. Since the Headquarters Artillery Regiment also left the base area not long ago, the Headquarters Artillery Corps
The soldiers in the regiment have also heard of Liu Gen's name and achievements.
However, when they were in the base area, because the Headquarters Artillery Regiment had many combat missions and Liu Gen also had many things to do, the soldiers of the Headquarters Artillery Regiment were unable to see Liu Gen's artillery skills with their own eyes. Now Liu Gen has come to Yan'an.
, the soldiers of the Artillery Regiment will naturally not miss such a good opportunity.
Of course, Liu Gen came to Yan'an for other things, such as explaining some problems to radar experts that they could not understand. Given the conditions in Yan'an, it is still possible to try to build a radar. As for large-scale construction of radars, it is naturally impossible.
Accept that the actual construction of a radar was the result of the bosses' insistence.
In the opinion of the bosses, the construction of radar is very necessary. The radar technology Liu Gen has presented is very good and has been unanimously favored by some experts at the headquarters. Even though the current conditions are somewhat difficult and it is impossible to build radars on a large scale,
But it is very meaningful to successfully build a radar, and a lot of technology accumulation can be achieved in the process of building the radar.
After learning that the headquarters had the idea of building a radar, Liu Gen was a little surprised. He knew the situation at the headquarters and the materials and conditions needed to build a radar. Building a radar was not a simple matter. But Liu Gen also knew the details of building a radar.
The good thing is, at least with the radar, you can detect the Japanese fighter planes early and avoid air attacks launched by the Japanese.
In building radars, Liu Gen could not provide much help. He could only solve problems that experts could not understand. The most important thing in building radars was the materials, and these were things Liu Gen could not get, so he could only provide them with help.
Generate enough knowledge to solve some problems in radar construction.
During his stay in Yan'an, Liu Gen was very busy and very tired every day, but Liu Gen felt that this kind of life was very fulfilling and he also liked it a little.
