In July 1947, Chen Geng came to Xiaohe Village to attend a conference. According to the arrangements of the Central Military Commission: Chen Geng led the 4th column back to northern Shaanxi to defend Yan'an. Chen Geng raised an objection, and Chairman Mao was "angry": Chen Geng When I asked you to save me, you were not active, and you were quite active when you saved Chiang Kai-shek!

According to the battle situation: Liu Deng's army led his troops to uproot Dabie Mountain, and in order to resist Hu Zongnan's attack on Yan'an, the 4th Column led by Chen Geng was responsible for defending Yan'an.

Chen Geng objected.

Chairman Mao was "angry": There was an objection to asking you Chen Geng to defend my safety, and you were very active in saving Chiang Kai-shek back then!

Chen Geng was startled and hurriedly "explained":

First, if Chen Geng then led the 4th Column into Yan'an, whether it was the garrison site or eating and drinking Lhasa, it would bring special pressure to Yan'an.

Second, Hu Zongnan led his troops to attack Yan'an, and the front was long. Instead of being tough head-on, it was better for Chen Geng to lead his troops to attack Hu Zongnan's logistics base, Henan. In this way, cutting off Hu Zongnan's supply not only eased the pressure on Liu Deng's brigade to leap into the Dabie Mountains, but also forced Hu Zongnan to abandon Yan'an...

Chairman Mao laughed when he heard this: "Good you Chen Geng, it turns out that you are confident!"

In this way, Chen Geng led his troops and the Ninth Column of the Jin-Cha-Ji Field Army crossed the Yellow River, cut off the Longhai Railway, annihilated more than 30,000 enemy troops, and liberated 25 county towns!
