The beacon of youth

When Brigadier Liu said this, Li Yong was of course happy, and he stood at attention and saluted: "Thank you for your concern." Brigadier Liu waved his hand and said, "That's great, don't always stand at attention and salute. You rest first, and I have to work on me too." I’ll let you know if there’s a situation.” After speaking, Brigadier Liu went into the bunker to direct the battle.

Li Yong led the soldiers to stay near the command post of the Ninth Brigade until two o'clock in the afternoon. The soldiers had nothing to do, bragging about the mountains together, and joking with the guards of the Ninth Brigade Headquarters from time to time.

The various offensive units of our army have taken down many hilltops, the command posts at all levels are constantly moving forward, and the artillery fire covering the infantry's attack is also constantly extending and shooting into the depths of the enemy.

The cadres at the brigade level are already the senior commanders of our army, but the brigade headquarters of the Ninth Brigade is not too far from the front line, and the sound of gunfire, explosions, and the shouts of soldiers can be faintly heard.

All the units were progressing smoothly. Only one regiment of the Ninth Brigade got entangled with the enemy under a hill. Our soldiers attacked and were counterattacked by the enemy. It has been more than an hour that the mountain has not been taken down.

Brigadier Liu used a telescope to observe the situation on the front line nervously, and dug his other hand into the earthen wall of the trench. His shaved chin trembled and said, "What's the matter with that hill? Why are the enemies so desperate? Our soldiers should at least rush It's been a dozen times."

He looked at his watch again and said, "Boss Peng ordered us to settle the battle before dusk. When is this?" A commander beside Brigadier Liu observed the enemy's situation with a telescope like him. Liu, don't worry, ask their regiment to call and see if there is any special situation."

The phone was about to connect, and Brigadier Liu shouted loudly into the phone: "What's going on with you? Why can't you attack? What? You hit the enemy's deadly idea. The enemy's 36th Division command post and the [-]th Brigade command Everything is on this mountain?"

Brigadier Liu, who put down the phone, said to a cadre beside him: "Political commissar, they hit the enemy's lifeblood. No wonder they are working so hard. The command posts of the enemy's 36th Division and the [-]th Brigade are on this mountain. If this mountain is taken down, the victory is basically won.

But their regiment suffered a lot of casualties, and we need to send some reinforcements. Our reserve team has already gone into battle, and the brigade's reconnaissance and security personnel have also gone up. Now there are no troops to send. What do you think? "

Political commissar: "Old Liu, you get confused when you are in a hurry. Have you forgotten that there is still an army outside? I went out to have a look. These guys are all lying down and sleeping. This is the right time to let them go. .”

Brigadier Liu patted his thigh and said, "Oh, political commissar, if you didn't mention it, I almost forgot, let's go, I'll find them now."

As soon as he finished speaking, Brigadier Liu said hesitantly: "Political commissar, he is a fraternal army, and he asked us for help. It's a good time. I'm a little embarrassed to ask him to help us fight the war."

Political commissar: "What's the matter with embarrassment? If you catch up, you can kill them. The brothers' troops are also troops of our People's Liberation Army. At critical times, don't divide them so finely." Brigadier Liu nodded: "That's right, blame me for being hypocritical. They go."

After getting out of the bunker, Brigadier Liu asked the guards to call Li Yong over. Li Yong was feeling uncomfortable with the soldiers, and when he saw Brigadier Liu shouting, he hurried over: "How about Brigadier? Any news?"

Brigadier Liu: "Dayong, there is news, but there are also problems. One regiment attacked the hilltop of the enemy's 36th Division and the headquarters of the [-]th Brigade. Our regiment suffered heavy casualties. I was asked to send troops for reinforcements. There are no soldiers left."

Li Yong: "I understand Commander, we will go there immediately to reinforce the attacking troops and take down the enemy's positions." Brigadier Liu: "Dayong, I was going to help you, but I didn't expect you to help me again. "

Li Yong: "Boss, it's nothing. I'm a member of the Communist Party. This is what we should do. Please give me an order."

Brigadier Liu looked at Li Yong and the soldiers standing neatly behind him: "Comrades, the headquarters of the enemy's reorganized 36th Division is ahead. The 36th Division that has caused us great trouble is right under our noses. We are desperately fighting back, our attacking troops suffered heavy casualties, now I order your department to reinforce our attacking troops, must take down the hills guarded by the enemy before dusk, and end the battle, otherwise military law will be enforced, understand?"

Li Yong replied loudly: "Reinforce our army's attacking troops, and the battle must be over before dusk, otherwise the military law will be followed, I understand."

Li Yong knows very well that there have been no jokes in the ancient army. Our army has had iron-like discipline since the day it was established. As long as it accepts an order, it must be resolutely completed.

"Comrades, are you confident in completing the task?" Li Yong turned around and asked his soldiers loudly, and more than 200 people shouted together: "Yes."

Li Jiangguo, the leader of the platoon, took a step forward holding the submachine gun in front of his chest: "Battle Commander {Li Jiangguo is not used to calling the regiment commander either} Our battalion has not completed any tasks since the day it was established, so you give orders."

Li Yong knew that this was the morale of the troops, what was he fighting for?Fighting is about morale. You are a human being, and others are also human beings. If you want to kill the enemy, the enemy will also want to kill you. Therefore, in war, you must overwhelm the enemy in terms of morale. I am invincible, and as the sword points, I am invincible. .

Under the leadership of the personnel sent by the Ninth Brigade, Li Yong and the soldiers ran forward quickly.Brigadier Liu looked at the soldiers going away and said to himself: "They are all good soldiers, they are all good soldiers!"

The political commissar beside him said, "What's the matter, Old Liu? What are you thinking about? He is now an independent regiment directly under the Second Column. It's too late for you to think about it."

Brigadier Liu: "Political commissar, this Li Yong is not ordinary. It took only half a year to expand the army to a regiment. I have a hunch that this little Li Yong's army will expand. Under the temple of our brigade, the guards This great Bodhisattva is no longer acceptable."

Li Yong led the troops to follow behind the personnel of the Ninth Brigade, and arrived at the regiment command post at the front in a short time. The leader introduced that this was Captain Li of the Second Column, and that reinforcements are coming.

The head of the Ninth Brigade held Li Yong's hand: "Welcome, Head Li, thank you so much, you are only here now to send charcoal in a timely manner." Head?Although the commanders in the war years were generally younger, this was a little too young, but it was strange, the battle was still going on.

Li Yong let go of the regimental commander's hand and said, "We are fighting now, so I don't have time to be polite. I'll go ahead and have a look." Watch carefully with binoculars in the trenches.

I saw that the enemy's firepower on the top of the mountain was blocking the frontal attack of our army's attacking soldiers. There were several heavy machine gun positions set up very well, and crossfire was carried out against our army's attacking troops down the mountain. Our army's attacking troops used various A variety of terrain and features, under the cover of limited firepower, attacking upward bit by bit, the progress is very slow.

Seeing this, Li Yong called Li Jiangguo, the leader of the platoon, and Zhang Jinsong, the leader of the reconnaissance platoon: "Bring all the machine gunners of your platoon here, and prepare to suppress the enemy above with firepower, and the other soldiers are on standby. "

After speaking, Li Yong ran to the position of the artillery squad and said to the squad leader: "As soon as our machine guns are fired, we will clear out the enemy's firepower outcropping on the top of the mountain."

There are four squads in Li Jiangguo's row, and each squad has four light machine guns. A total of sixteen light machine guns fired at the same time. After coming out, the firepower on the enemy's mountain weakened at once.

At this time, the enemy's heavy machine guns also reacted and turned their guns to find the position of our army's machine guns. Li Yong thought that this would not work. When the enemy's heavy machine gun shooters understood, our army would suffer casualties. Rapid fire from the heavy machine gun position.

Seeing the enemy's heavy machine gun positions flying into the sky with people and guns amidst the sound of explosions, this mortar is a curved fire, and your cat can't hide in the trenches, Li Yong muttered what a pity such a good heavy machine gun Machine guns, while commanding the artillery squad to continue shooting, as long as the enemy's firepower is exposed, they will fight.

The artillery squad destroyed more than a dozen firepower points in a row, and with the cooperation of sixteen light machine guns completely suppressed the enemy's firepower. Seeing this, Li Yong shouted, and the soldiers, led by Li Jiangguo and Zhang Jinsong, fought together The formation rushed up.
