What is history: it is the echo of the past to the future, the reflection of the future on the past. - Hugo
In the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the leading organs of the Jin-Cha-Ji Military Region were in Tang County and Jiazhuang, and the Central Bureau was in Fuping Yijiazhuang. Commander Nie Rongzhen took only one guard, one man and one horse, and ran to the meeting every day. Nie Rongzhen said: "There is no danger along the way, everywhere we go, there are people who boil water for us, show us the way, and take very good care." ”
The Japanese army was rampant, Nie Rongzhen was almost single-handed, and he actually rode for one or two hundred miles without fear, why was he so bold?
Later, Nie Rongzhen said: "Although our headquarters is only a few tens of miles away from the enemy, although there have been scenes of war for a long time, we have a sense of security. In the ocean of the masses, it is very safe!"
It turned out that he was "in the ocean of the masses"!
Therefore, he has the protection of the people, and there are people to take care of him along the way!
Once Nie Rongzhen also visited the American said:
"Relying on the people is more reliable than the mountains."
This tone, in the Americans, sounded in addition to surprise, and even felt that Commander Nie was somewhat proud, "arrogant" and "unscrupulous".
In this regard, Nie Rongzhen's only daughter, General Nie Li, later explained: "My father said such things, even proudly, because the Jin-Cha-Ji base area was a very solid and very reliable base area, and the people completely sided with the Communist Eighth Route Army. ”
The masses of the people stand on the side of the Communist Party and the Eighth Route Army, like a great river to the east! Eventually, it became a surging force.
