The beacon of youth

The second is the troops directly under the column. The Dugu regiment has been marching with Chuanmeng Najiao personnel for some time. The guards and soldiers in front of the column headquarters and the independent regiment are familiar with each other. Most of them know Li Yong and Wang Chengde. , Seeing that the two had arrived, he immediately opened the door and sent someone to report to the commander.

A dozen or so jeeps from the Independence Regiment roared into the compound of the headquarters, and led by the guards, they arrived at the office of the commander.

Before reaching the door, the commander came out of the room with several leaders of the headquarters: "Oh, our heroes are here, Dayong and Chengde come in quickly, and share the battle history of your regiment with the comrades in the headquarters." Let’s talk about it carefully, tell you in advance, tell us what experience you have, don’t be conservative, don’t be like a bear, and do things in an ambush.”

After the commander finished speaking, he and a few people looked around at the jeep that the soldiers drove in: "Isn't it not bad, your independent regiment lives a very prosperous life, and all the people who come out and go in are cars, no more than me, the commander is arrogant." "

Li Yong and Wang Chengde hurriedly saluted the commander, Li Yong: "Report to the commander, we must tell you everything, and there is also a written summary of the battle that will be handed in soon. If the headquarters needs a car, just make a phone call. We keep the supply open."

Commander Wang waved his hand: "The headquarters' cars are enough, and you keep the captured cars for yourself. You are a combat force. If you have more cars, you can move faster. It would be better if thousands of you can ride in the cars." .”

Commander Wang is also looking forward to more cars in the army, if there are enough cars in the independent regiment.The commander now has a mobile unit that can respond quickly, and all commanders want such a unit, not to mention the Eighth Route Army, which is famous for its iron feet.

Li Yong is the military chief officer of the independent regiment. Of course, he is responsible for the battle. Li Yong explained in detail his preparations before the battle, his own thinking, and the difficulties and unexpected things encountered in the battle. Say it again.In the end, Li Yong concluded that the victory or failure of a battle is doomed before the battle. The victory or failure of a battle depends on the various preparations before the battle. As long as most of the difficulties are expected, the success of this battle The victory is basically won, even if there are some unexpected difficulties, it will not affect the overall situation.

Commander Wang listened very carefully, and when Li Yong finished speaking, the commander sighed and said, "Dayong, you speak very well. There are many things our troops have encountered before, but they are all made by soldiers. Summed up by blood and life, there are some new things in your thinking that are worth learning for us commanders. In the future, open your own heads more. If you have any new ideas and ideas, use your regiment to try them out. Let me first express my support for you.”

Of course Li Yong was very happy to hear what the commander said. Other comrades may not understand some of his own actions. Now that he has the commander's words, he can feel at ease and boldly do what he wants to do.

Before leaving, Wang Chengde asked the soldiers to bring in the big bags they had brought. Commander Wang untied the bag and looked at it: "Yes, they are all good things. You two have a bit of conscience and you haven't forgotten me, Commander." , do more things like this in the future, our headquarters is also poor, and there are not too many good things, so let’s give a verbal praise today.”

Commander Wang's tone made Li Yong a little funny, and he sometimes said to Li Jiangguo and the others, "You did a good job, give me a verbal praise." I didn't expect the commander to come with me, it seemed that it was all a blank check .

After coming out of the column headquarters, Li Yong told Wang Chengde that he wanted to see the comrades of the first battalion and the second battalion. In this way, Wang Chengde took some soldiers back to the regiment headquarters, and Li Yong took a soldier from the guard platoon to occupy the independent regiment. The ammunition depot looks at the first and second battalions.

When the jeep of Li Yong and the soldiers arrived outside the gate of the ammunition depot, the soldiers on guard rushed in to report that Ran Chang had arrived, and Li Jiangguo and Ma Quanyou in the compound were leading the soldiers to train in formation.

Just after the battle, the soldiers were still very tired. The two battalions only did some simple queue training, and did not do other subjects with a large amount of exercise.

Li Yong asked Li Jiangguo and Ma Quan to assemble the team. After the soldiers of the two battalions had assembled, Li Yong walked into the middle of the assembled team, carefully inspected the clothes, shoes, hats, weapons and ammunition of the soldiers, and put the soldiers together. They looked all over their bodies.

When the soldiers assembled, Li Yong always stood in front of the team. It was the first time he walked among the assembled soldiers like today. The number of people standing in two squares was obviously much smaller than before the battle.

Two catties.The battalion is the most capable unit of the independent regiment. The first two battalions since the Battle of Yulin combined could have more than 700 people. Now Li Yong counted carefully and even less than half of them. Li Yong felt so uncomfortable, especially those who The casualties of veteran soldiers made him even more uncomfortable.

When the Independence Regiment started, the hundreds of veterans were the backbone of each battalion. They were all the heroes in Li Yong's heart, and the army will rely on them for the rest of its life.For example, when we talked about the moat, the veterans of the two assault battalions were basically the veterans who rushed up to the bullets flying head-on and the fire on the bridge, so these veterans also suffered heavy casualties.

Some of the soldiers who died were very familiar with Li Yong. A few days ago, they had dinner and practice with Li Yong, but now they suddenly disappeared. They didn’t think about these things during the battle, but when the battle was over, Li Yong Tears fell quietly, what a good soldier, if the field army had stronger firepower and more shells, many of them would not have died.

Li Yong didn't ask about the casualties of Li Jiangguo and Ma Quanyou's troops, there's no need to ask, the situation is already here, why ask if there are less than half of the troops, it's even more sad to ask.

Seeing their regiment leader walking back and forth in the middle of the team, the soldiers all puffed up their chests, and they also knew that the regiment leader was very uncomfortable.

"Comrades, our regiment suffered a lot of casualties in this battle, especially your two battalions." After a pause, Li Yong continued: "But comrades, I think it's worth it, it's worth it, why do you say that? Comrades, think about it Think, think about when we first attacked Yulin, think about when we retreated from the city of Yulin, our situation was too difficult at that time, what would happen if we attacked Yulin for the second time and still failed to win, comrades thought ?

We will be in a more difficult situation than the first time, and the situation will be more passive. Maybe we are still being chased by the enemy. I am not humble enough to say that our regiment has made great efforts in this battle, and you The two battalions are the two battalions with the most credit, because all the troops of our field army entered Yulin after your ass.

It is because of your sacrifices that we have achieved great victories later, so I say that our casualties are worthwhile, comrades, if there is a struggle, there will be sacrifices, we must overthrow this cannibalistic old society and build a new one New China cannot do without paying the price.

Those of us who are alive must remember them and continue their unfinished business. Sadness cannot solve the problem. We must wipe away our tears and face a bigger battle. There is still a bigger battle waiting for us. We've got a long way to go, go ahead, warriors

Li Yong, who had finished speaking to the soldiers, asked Li Jiangguo and Ma Quanyou to go to the heavy camp to find Lao Sun the next day, and gave the soldiers an allowance of two oceans per person. Yulin is a big city, so the soldiers could spend the money Play and relax everywhere, don't hold back where you spend money, let the common people in Yulin also see the rich Eighth Route Army.

Hearing that Li Yong said that he would give each of the soldiers two yuan as an allowance, Li Jiangguo and Ma Quanyou, two veteran soldiers who are very familiar with Li Yong, couldn't keep their mouths shut.

Li Jiangguo: "Leader, our team used to have allowances. They were all border area tickets. You can't use them when you leave the border area. But even this kind of border area tickets have not passed for a long time. I have saved a few precious tickets. I have never been willing to spend it. I looked at it a few days ago and it was stained with sweat. I couldn’t even peel it off. Since the day I joined our army, I haven’t heard of any troops of the Eighth Route Army receiving oceans as subsidies. There are more than 3000 people in our regiment, and two yuan per person costs more than 6000 oceans. Besides, can our superiors agree to this? ? What about other troops?

Don't look at Li Jiangguo laughing and joking all day long, this guy is a very thoughtful fighter, and he is very thoughtful in thinking about problems.

Li Yong: "Our regiment's own allowance, I don't care about what the superiors want. Some of the leaders have small things. How can a small matter in a regiment-level unit be managed? As for what other troops think, that's their business. It has nothing to do with me. no they too

Ma Quanyou: "Dayang is good, the soldiers of the brother army are already envious of us, if they see people from our regiment buying things under the umbrella of Dayang, they will eat us all?.

Li Yong: "It's their business to be jealous. If you have the ability to do it yourself, no one stops them. Anyway, our regiment must. You guys need to prepare and go to the hospital with me tomorrow morning to see the wounded."

Giving allowances to the soldiers was something Li Yong thought of temporarily. The casualties of the first battalion and the second battalion made him very excited. These soldiers were all young men in their 20s. When I went to the city, I sacrificed myself. Now that the army is resting, let the soldiers go around, take a good look, and have fun. No one knows when they will be honored during the war. Forget about Li Yong. A matter of heart.
