1947, our beloved Grandpa Mao and his revolutionary close friend He Long met in Xiaohe Village. The brothers who shared life and death in the artillery fire had a lot of topics as soon as they met. When they talked to each other at night, they saw that He Long looked wrong and started frowning. Chairman Mao immediately began to ask He Long what was going on. He Long said, "I felt a little uncomfortable before meeting the Chairman. After that, I relapsed. I will rest for a while and it will be fine." After that, he took out a gift to Grandpa Mao. Grandpa Mao opened it and saw that it was a very precious fruit candy at that time, which moved Grandpa Mao very much.

He Long rested for a while and his body recovered, so Liu found Grandpa Mao again, and the two of them began to talk about their plans for the New China. After talking about the work, the two of them recalled all the things they had experienced after talking about it. It was indeed the friendship established by the revolution, which was the strongest.

In Japan surrendered to . After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, the Kuomintang Chiang Kai-shek ignored Double Ten Agreement , undermined peace and insisted on civil war . Grandpa Mao saw that there was no hope of peace talks, so he had to go to war with the Kuomintang. Faced with the repeated destruction of the Kuomintang, the Yan'an base has become difficult, and even basic food and clothing have become problems. The optimistic Grandpa Mao did not feel that this kind of life was difficult. He led everyone to dig wild vegetables and eat coarse grains, and took it over. It was not until He Long served as the logistics commander that he gradually improved. During this period, Grandpa Mao praised him for his contribution to the logistics supply of Yan'an .

As an excellent general, General He not only commanded properly on the battlefield, but also made great achievements, but also made logistics. Speaking of this, some people may find it strange, why did General He start to be responsible for logistics?

Because the frontline generals often stay up late to command, sometimes they don’t sleep for two days. If they continue for a long time, they will have more or less physical problems, and the same is true for General Su Yu. During a command, He Long's body could no longer hold on and collapsed directly. Grandpa Mao was very concerned about He Long's health, so he decided to transfer him to Yan'an to take good care of his body first and be responsible for the supply of the rear.

Many people think that doing logistics in the rear is easy without facing artillery fire or gunfire. In fact, it is not that simple. Before the troops move, food and grass will come first. Many times, the victory of a battle can be determined by whether food and munitions are sufficient. Therefore, such an important task must be handed over to someone with strong command ability, able to win battles, and able to shoulder great responsibilities. And this person is He Long.

The reason why He Long made Grandpa Mao trust so much is because the trust of He Long and Grandpa Mao recognized He Long in repeated revolutionary victories. At the end of Long March , the large army needed to meet in northern Shaanxi. At that time, He Long needed to meet with another person first, but when the meeting, some conflicts arose.

Because Zhang Guotao was a relatively old-fashioned member in the entire Red Army at that time, and also had a certain prestige in the army. He had a disagreement with Mao Zedong when he wanted to go to northern Shaanxi. He disobeyed the central government's deployment and chose to go to Sichuan. As a result, the troops suffered heavy losses. Seeing this, He Long advised him to obey the leadership of the Party Central Committee, otherwise he would lose more. Unfortunately, Zhang Guotao did not listen and continued to go to Sichuan in his own way. There was no way. In a meeting, He Long made a public statement that he would obey the leadership of the central government and Grandpa Mao's leadership. At the same time, he was also privately advising him to respect the facts and obey the leadership of the Party to win. Finally, Zhang Guotao chose to go to northern Shaanxi together. Several major forces of the Red Army successfully met in northern Shaanxi.

After meeting, Grandpa Mao heard about He Long's persuasion of Zhang Guotao and praised him for his efforts to do his best for the party. The successful meeting in northern Shaanxi also made He Long's guidance to Grandpa Mao even more determined. Following Grandpa Mao and the Party, he could win battles. In 1937, Chairman Mao, under his command, based on the actual situation of the party at that time, and when his weapons and equipment were lagging behind the Kuomintang and the Japanese army, he proposed three policies that were in line with reality, such as guerrilla anti-Japanese policy, which was in line with the enemy's retreat, we fought, we ran away, and we chased, and we retreated.

Unfortunately, there were not many people in the leadership team at that time who were serious about this policy. The mainstream at that time was to directly fight head-on with the Japanese army and the Kuomintang. However, at that time, we had too little equipment and even lagged behind. We could not compete head-on with the well-equipped Kuomintang and the Japanese army, and once again suffered heavy losses.

In the leadership team at that time, only He Long knew about Grandpa Mao’s exquisite command. He looked at his soldiers and felt that the equipment was indeed different from those excellent Kuomintang. We began to implement this policy well. During the Anti-Japanese War in Yan'an, the army led by General He Long suffered relatively small losses. Moreover, He Long's team is getting more and more soldiers. Seeing this, Grandpa Mao praised He Long's execution and command ability and also had a better impression.

These experiences, Grandpa Mao felt that He Long was a talent, and the two cherished each other. He Long later followed Grandpa Mao closely through countless revolutions, which made his friendship with He Long deeper. The two of them are not superiors and subordinates, but very good friends. Later, when Grandpa Mao recalled He Long, his evaluation of him was that he would do any job and did a good job. This evaluation is true.

When the four field troops were established, hundreds of thousands of rations, equipment, and ammunition were raised in a short period of time with their own abilities. In 1950, He Long completed these tasks outstandingly. Even Deng Xiaoping commented that He Long is a famous general of a generation. It was precisely because generals like He Long followed Mao's leadership closely and gathered together that the ancestors won the victory of the War of Resistance, created a new China, and allowed the people to live a happy life.
