The beacon of youth

Eryi Street Southeast Mountain.Gunpowder smoke filled the air, and the sound of gunshots and explosions became more and more intense.The artillery groups of various types and calibers at the foot of the mountain were covering and shooting the position on the mountain like crazy. The smoke and dust from the shells exploded on the position, and the soldiers of our army on the top of the mountain kept rolling from one crater to another. In a crater.

Anyone who has fought a war knows a little common sense. On the battlefield, if a shell falls not too far away from you.The best way is to jump into this crater immediately. If you don't move, the second shell will probably fall in your position, and it will be safer to jump into the crater that the previous shell exploded, because the first shell will fall into the crater. The second shell will not fall into the crater opened by the first shell.This is common sense that all veterans know.Of course, there is no absolute security on the battlefield.

The tense situation in the Southeast Mountain position was also discovered by a senior commander of our army. This commander is General He Bingyan, commander of the first column of the Northwest Field Army.

The predecessor of the First Column of the Northwest Field Army was the Second Workers' and Peasants' Red Army Corps formed by He Long in the Western Soviet Area of ​​Hunan and Hubei.The Second Front Army of the Red Army is He Long's Red Second and Sixth Army Corps, which participated in the Long March.During the War of Resistance Against Japan, the Second Red Army Corps was organized into the Eighth Route Army's Porridge Brigade.Created the Jinsui Border Region.

generous years.The first column of the Yuejin Military Region was formed in Lan County, Shanxi.Administer the No. [-] Strong Brigade, the Independent First Brigade, and the Sixth Brigade. After the formation, they blocked the Yellow River in the west and participated in the battle to defend the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia border area. The first column of the Northwest Field Army was formed based on the Lishi Qiang Brigade. The Red Second Army during the Red Army period was later renamed the First Army of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, known as the No. [-] Army in the world, and General He Bingyan was its first commander.

He Bingyan, whose ancestral home is Yidu, Hubei, was born in Songzi. He is a hard-bodied and bloody Hubei man who joined the Red Army of Chinese Workers and Peasants in the year of pharynx and joined the Communist Party of China in the same year. During the Agrarian Revolutionary War, he served as the commander of the Second Division of the First Red Army. After the Long March, he served as the head of the 6th Regiment of the Eighth Route Army during the Anti-Japanese War. During the War of Liberation, he served as the commander of the First Column of the Northwest Field Army. After the founding of New China, he served as the commander of the First Army and the commander of the Qinghai Navy. Commander of the Sichuan Military Region, Chengdu Military Region Commander Gu Nian was awarded the rank of general.

This is a brave, wise and fierce general. The general has only one arm, but he led his troops to fight the enemy several times during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. One of the troops, He Long would think of leading the 6th regiment whenever the troops encountered danger and difficulties.When the battle was at its most intense, Boss He would often shout: "Give me the He Bingyan regiment."

The Yin 6 Regiment also lived up to its high expectations. When the battle was at its most intense, He Bingyan led his troops into the enemy's formation many times to fight close to the enemy. They all said that the devils would fight with bayonets, but it depends on who they meet. General He Bingyan and General He Bingyan The soldiers of his lead 6 regiment.That is their time to die.

In every battle, He Bingyan with one arm will slash the enemy chieftain with a knife, the wind blows the scorching sun, and the blood stains the battle flag red, so General He Bingyan is so powerful that he shakes the Taihang Mountains.

There is also a small episode "Sunnian Yan'an held the Seventh National Congress, He Bingyan saluted ** with one left hand, ** took his hand down and said: "You only have one arm, this salute will be omitted in the future. "

When He Bingyan saw that the secretary said that he didn't need to salute, he said anxiously: "Chairman, don't you want me as a soldier? I still have one hand, and I can charge."

** Hold his hand tightly, pull him to sit next to her, and then say: "Yes, why not? How many one-armed generals can we have in China from ancient times to the present? Only our Red Army troops can go out. For a hero like you, study hard, and when the revolution is victorious, you will build a new China with one hand.”

He Bingyan is the only general in the Chinese People's Liberation Army who is allowed by the chairman to meet without saluting.

Commander He found the tense situation in the Southeast Mountain position through the telescope. He knew that this was the position of the second column, and he also knew that the second column was the unit farthest from the battlefield. He hurriedly asked the scouts about the situation, and the scouts told him, People from the second column arrived, but only one battalion arrived, and this was the first to arrive by car. The main force of the column was still far away because of the heavy snow and heavy roads.

The current first column has put all its troops into it. What is different from history is that in order to put more pressure on the enemy, Commander He has invested in the reserve [-]th Brigade early on. The reserve team of the column Immediately behind the second echelon rushed up.

Now Commander He has no power to use. After thinking about it, Commander He ordered the reconnaissance company and guard company of the column headquarters to be organized to reinforce our army's position on the southeast mountain.

As a result, the headquarters of the first column had no security force at all. The two company commanders refused to implement this...Hui Er, and told the commander that Nüerjie and the others would not go unless he had a security force in the middle of the year.

Commander He: "Nonsense, I can't die. Even if I die, it's nothing special. Soldiers should die on the battlefield. The Southeast Mountain position is the commanding height of the entire battlefield. If the second column loses the position, we will have a hard time. Execute the order and leave immediately."

In two days, the company commander had no choice but to lead the troops to the southeast mountain. At this time, our army's position in the southeast mountain had already repelled the enemy's fifth charge. , The simple fortifications built by the soldiers just now were all blown up, the enemy's corpses were everywhere on the position, and our army suffered a lot of casualties. Even counting the lightly wounded, not even half of the people could persist in fighting.

When everyone was in a hurry, the two companies of the first column arrived. The reconnaissance and guard companies of the first column were all young men selected from the army. Not only were they fully equipped, but they also had sufficient ammunition. There were more than 300 people in the two companies. This is really like sending carbon in a timely manner. When the two companies arrived, the enemy's shelling stopped and another round of attack began. With the addition of new forces, the soldiers' spirits were greatly shaken.The enemy was beaten down again, and the position was temporarily stabilized.

He Cuihua took [-] trucks and [-] soldiers and rushed back along the road behind the mountain. The intention was very clear, that is, to take over the troops as soon as possible to strengthen our army.

At this time, the Second Regiment was marching forward under the leadership of Commander Zhao. Commander Zhao knew that the situation was urgent and asked the troops to move forward lightly.Everyone threw everything except ammunition and food on the snow on the side of the road. Many soldiers threw away their water bottles. Everyone said that there is snow everywhere now. If you are thirsty, you can grab a handful and stuff your mouth. It's ok, the troops walk and run for a while.Run for a while and walk for a while.

The sweat on the soldiers' bodies drenched their padded jackets, and the heat from their mouths covered their eyebrows and beards with a layer of hoarfrost. In the Northwest Field Army, the commanders above our barracks were all equipped with a horse, but Now none of these horseback riders are commanders, they are all sick and limping soldiers. Commander Zhao, like the soldiers, ran and marched forward in the snow.

Give up your mount to the warrior, and walk by yourself.This is simply incomprehensible to the Kuomintang army, but it is very common in the People's Liberation Army.The soldiers are also used to it and don't feel strange. Are you the cadres of the Communist Party? It is right to suffer hardships and enjoy the latter. Head Zhao, from time to time showed some expressions of emotion and thought.Don't look at the situation at that time with your current eyes. The old Eighth Road cadres were really admirable. The author's father had a little understanding of Commander Wang Zhen, and some things about Commander Wang are still there after decades. relish

When the troops are moving forward rapidly.He Cuihua and his car arrived, and when he saw the second regiment marching fast in the wind and snow, He Cuihua's heart immediately became clear.

This second regiment is a well-known tough unit in the second column.The style is fierce and tenacious, it is the main force of the whole column, and it is also a fist force in the hands of Commander Wang Zhen. Whenever it is critical, Commander Wang will think of the second regiment, and the second regiment has fought many tough and vicious battles because of this. For example, the cover operation after the first Yulin Battle, the Changgao Mountain blockade that wiped out the 36th Division, etc. This time, Commander Wang handed over the task of seizing the Southeast Mountain to the hero's second regiment.

He Cuihua hurriedly introduced the situation to Commander Zhao. Commander Zhao immediately ordered another infantry battalion to get in the car, and he himself got in the car and walked with this battalion. The regiment command post and rear guard troops were led by the political commissar.

Although it is a car march, it can also drive too fast.This has something to do with the road conditions at that time. The so-called roads are some dirt and stone roads.Driving too fast and causing a rollover accident is not worth the loss.

By the time the small battalion of our army arrived not far from the Southeast Mountain position, the entire position had reached the most critical moment. The troops of one battalion and two companies on the position had almost been consumed, and there was not much ammunition left. , the enemy is still rushing up the mountain from the bottom of the mountain, and the enemy has also seen that there are not many garrison troops on the mountain, and there is no heavy infantry firepower. Pick up a call, regardless of the formation.The soldiers of our army on the mountain basically ran out of ammunition and almost threw stones, and the soldiers who could still hold guns all picked up bayonet-mounted rifles.Get ready for a final stand against your enemies.

At this most critical juncture, Commander Zhao arrived with an infantry battalion. After getting off the car, the soldiers climbed to the top of the mountain in one go, and immediately went into battle.
