The beacon of youth

There are 5 cave dwellings in the old man’s house. In addition to the old man and the old man, this family also has two daughters-in-law. The eldest daughter-in-law can be around 27 or 21 years old, and they have two children, both of whom are boys. two or three years old.The second daughter-in-law looks like [-] and [-], and she is white and tender, and Li Yong feels that his eyes are a little straight. He didn't expect such a beautiful woman to exist in such a poor mountain valley.

The old man's family was very enthusiastic about Li Yong, and they immediately prepared meals for Li Yong. Although there was nothing good to eat, they were still full.After Li Yong washed his face and hands and finished his meal, he fell asleep immediately. This was the most sound sleep Li Yong had in the past seven or eight days, and it was also the most peaceful sleep in his heart. When Li Yong woke up, he was already In the morning of the next day, he felt that he was in good spirits and his physical strength had fully recovered. Li Yong immediately got up and went to the yard to look for a broom.

Li Yong knew that the former Laoba Road was the habit of the People's Liberation Army now. In the morning, he would carry water and sweep the yard for fellow villagers.At this time, the old man came out, grabbed Li Yong and said, "It's alright, I don't need you to do it today, how is your health?" Li Yong hurriedly said: "Look, grandpa, I slept for a long time after eating and drinking. I feel that I have fully recovered, and my body is fine now."

After breakfast, Li Yong chatted with the old man. The old man told Li Yong that his eldest son is the guerrilla captain in the nearby area, and his youngest son is also in the Northwest Field Army. Like you, he is also in the second column. Li Yong thought, no wonder The old man is so clear about the history of Erzong. It turned out that his second son was in Erzong. Li Yong felt very embarrassed at this moment. If you don't, you'll reveal your secrets, but you must try to be serious as soon as possible.

Li Yong stayed for another day. In the evening, the old man’s house had already boiled hot water for him to take a bath. After taking a bath, Li Yong lay on the hot kang, not to mention how comfortable it was. In the north, it gets dark very early in March. When Li Yong was a little dazed and about to fall asleep, the door rang and someone came in. Li Yong took a closer look and it turned out to be the old man's second daughter-in-law holding an oil lamp in her hand and said to Li Yong, "Comrade, I'll light it for you when it gets dark." lights.After speaking, he walked into the house and put the oil lamp on the table. It was already dark, and Li Yong felt that the little daughter-in-law felt very good under the lamp, so he said casually: "You are so beautiful, if you wear a military uniform It will be more beautiful."

The little daughter-in-law looked back at him: "I have seen a lot of comrades in our army, but you are the first one to say that I am beautiful, and you are very good at talking. Do you often lie to other girls outside?" When Li Yong heard this, he quickly said: "I'm not what you think. I just said it because I saw how beautiful you are. I'm very honest outside." Scary, you are a good person, but why do your eyes look a bit like wolves in our mountains?" After speaking, he walked out with a smile.

Seeing his daughter-in-law leave, Li Yong slapped himself on the face, what happened to him?After all, he is also a modern youth, how could he be fascinated by a woman in the 40s?Didn't you say that women in that era were very feudal?Why didn't I see how feudal this little daughter-in-law is?

On the morning of the third day, Li Yong said to the old man: "Master, I can't stay anymore, I have to go to the army early." You’d better change your dog’s skin, we don’t have large troops of the Eighth Route Army in this area, but guerrillas are everywhere, it’s not good if you are misunderstood by the guerrillas.”

Li Yong thought it was true, and at this time the old man asked his youngest daughter-in-law to bring over two pieces of his second son's clothes, and then said to Li Yong, "Dayong, you are about the same size as our second son, so you will wear this one. The troops will come back again." By the time Li Yong changed his clothes, the aunt had already prepared a small bag for him, which contained the big pancakes that had just been pasted. The relationship between the army and the people is really a family that no one can do without.

After bidding farewell to the uncle's family, Li Yong continued to walk north for a few more days. At about noon that day, Li Yong suddenly saw a group of people walking out from behind a low hill, all wearing worn-out gray military uniforms and carrying rifles. When people saw Li Yong, they all surrounded him, and a man who looked like a leader said to Li Yong, "What do you do?" Li Yong looked at the group of people carefully, and judged from the weapons and clothing that they were troops of the Eighth Route Army. , Knowing that this is the Northwest Field Army I was looking for, it seems that this is a reconnaissance team.Li Yong hurriedly said that he was an ordinary person and a sheep herder, and went to find a lost sheep nearby.

The leader looked at Li Yong: "You are a sheep herder? Why can't I see it? I have never seen a sheep herder like you. Don't pretend, you are a spy of the Kuomintang? Take it away." Said After that, two soldiers came up and tied up Li Yong, and searched his whole body.

Li Yong yelled: "What's the matter with you? Why do you say I'm a spy? Don't tie me up, I'll leave by myself." The leader didn't even talk to him and kept leading the small army forward. After walking for about ten miles, the number of people wearing gray military uniforms gradually increased.Li Yong knew that he was about to reach the place. At this time, the group of people came to a large courtyard. The leader shouted a report, walked in, and said to a few good-looking people in the courtyard: "Report, go out and arrest people." A very suspicious person came back, this person said he was a sheep herder, I feel he was not telling the truth, this guy doesn’t look like a sheep herder.”

After speaking, he pushed Li Yong in front of those elders.Li Yong thought, this is a time of war, it would be too useless to shoot him as a spy.He hurriedly said, "Why do you say I'm a spy? I'm an ordinary citizen, and you just say nonsense without any evidence. Are you still the Eighth Route Army?" At this time, a leader said to him: "My fellow, we can't confirm your identity now. We have a mission now, so we can’t leak out our whereabouts, so you can stay with us for a few days, and we’ll send you back when our mission is over.” After speaking, he shouted: “Xiao Li, come here, and bring this fellow to you. There, march with you."

The commander said to Li Yong again: "The person who arrested you is Li Jiangguo, our platoon leader. You should go with them."At this time, Li Jiangguo said: "Chang, he is not a fellow, he must be a spy. If you kill him, you will get it, so you don't have to worry about it." What should I do if I make a mistake?" When a person dies, he cannot live. "Li Yong was also very angry at this time. Why does this Li Jiangguo think he is a spy? He shouted at him: "Why do you call me a spy? I also said that you are not the Eighth Route Army. Should I also shoot you?" up? "

The long smile said: "Sooner or later we will find out whether it is true or not, but now we don't have time, so I will wrong you and go with him."

In this way, Li Yong and the guard marched together. Although that Li Jiangguo ignored him, he didn't make it difficult for him. He also ate the same food as the soldiers. After marching for several days, Li Yong understood a little. After the army camped for the day, Li Yong said to Li Jiangguo, "I have something to ask the chief." Li Jiangguo said, "Okay, let's see what tricks you can come up with, and then bring Li Yong to the place where the chief lives."

When the elders saw Li Yong, they asked, "What's the matter, fellow?" Li Yong thought for a while, then straightened his mind and said, "Boss, my name is Li Yong, and I'm not a sheep herder." The chiefs looked at each other: "Really? Then you continue to talk." Li Yong said immediately: "But I am not a spy, I am a deserter from the Kuomintang army. I don't want to work with the Kuomintang. I want to join our The Eighth Route Army ran out from there."

A leader said to Li Yong: "Then tell me why you don't want to work with the Kuomintang? Why do you want to join the Eighth Route Army?"

Li Yong said: "Gentlemen, I was arrested by the Kuomintang when I was 17. I have been a soldier for two years. The Kuomintang army is too dark, and there are a lot of rape incidents everywhere. I have never seen a single soldier." Officials have never deducted military pay. In addition, I think that the Kuomintang, from the army to the government, serves those big landlords, big capitalists, and big bureaucrats. The stronger the army, the more miserable the people are. One of my teachers knows about **. He let me read a lot of books about ** and some books written by **. I think that only ** can truly make the people live a better life and eliminate exploitation. To build a democratic and prosperous new China where the common people have housing, clothing, and food. From the day I was arrested, I made up my mind to run out and serve as the Eighth Route Army when I had the opportunity.”

After listening to Li Yong's words, several leaders were stunned. How could this little KMT deserter have so many and such a deep understanding?Is this still a deserter from the Kuomintang? It is simply what an old Communist Party member said.An elder asked Li Yong: "How many years have you studied, and what books have you studied?"

Li Yong thought to himself that I went to a military academy and majored in infantry command, but I can't say anything about that.Quickly replied: "Masters, I went to school at the age of 7 and studied until the year I was arrested. It has been 1 years. I have read a lot of books, including new style books and old style books, and I have also read some military books. , Seniors, do I want to join the Eighth Route Army?"

At this moment, Li Jiangguo, the guard platoon leader, said to Li Yong, "Now we don't call the Eighth Route Army the People's Liberation Army." After looking around, one of the leaders smiled and said to Li Yong: "I have long known that you are not a sheep herder. My name is Zhao Jin, and I am the leader of the Second Regiment. Welcome, Comrade Li Yong." The troops were out, and I was agitated, and my face was a little red.

I don't think I was so excited when I heard that I was admitted to the military academy.Quickly stood at attention to salute the leaders, and shouted: "Soldier Li Yong reports to the leaders." He asked curiously, "How does the leader know that I am not a sheep herder?" He replied: "It's very simple, just look at it and you will know.

1 The sheep herders in northern Shaanxi are not as clean as you

2 The mandarin of the fellow who herds the sheep is not as good as yours

3 The sheep herders don’t have military kettles like yours

4 Although you are wearing the clothes of the common people, you are wearing the belt of the Kuomintang army. Can you tell me that there is a fellow sheep herder like you? "

After listening to these words of head Zhao, Li Yong really admired him from the bottom of his heart. He deserves to be an old eighth road who has fought for many years. Much like.Li Yongli said to the elders, "I have a few suggestions that I would like to share with the elders."

Commander Zhao immediately said: "Okay, Comrade Li Yong, what can I say?" Li Yong said to the commanders: "Through these few days of marching, I feel that our army is not the main force of our field army. He paused for a while and then continued, but it is an army to lure the enemy."

Several leaders looked at each other with surprised expressions. One leader thought for a moment and said to Li Yong: "Speak out your thoughts." Li Yong thought for a while and said: "I marched with the troops for a few days. , I found that this is not an original formation, but a newly formed one. The formation of the troops is very strange. They are all based on companies, and the companies are not familiar with each other, so I think it is a temporary force. The team formed with special missions, the numbers I have seen and heard have 7 to 8 companies, so I think this is a temporary regiment-level unit. Through the march in the past few days, I found that our troops When encountering enemy planes for reconnaissance, instead of hiding, they continue to walk swaggeringly. This kind of behavior shows that our army deliberately let the enemy planes discover it. But why do we deliberately let the enemy planes discover it? This kind of behavior can only show that our army The army is deliberately covering up some attempt, and this cover-up intention should be the task of our army."

"Is the analysis quite reasonable? Tell me everything else," a leader said to Li Yong.

"There are more than 3 enemies on the Northwest battlefield, and there are more than 2 troops on the front line. However, our Northwest Field Army has only more than 2 people, and our weapons and equipment are poor. Therefore, I analyze that it is impossible for our headquarters to fight against the enemy. Recklessly, the best way is to take advantage of our army's advantages, that is, the combination of mobile warfare and guerrilla warfare. I guess our army is a decoy force, so that the enemy will think that we are the main force of the field army, and chase and fight with all our strength. We will fight decisively, while our real main force is waiting in hiding, looking for opportunities to wipe out the enemy. The geographical environment in northern Shaanxi is a large ditch with a lot of rainwater impact, and Hu Zhongnan's mechanized troops cannot be used. This kind of geography is very suitable for ambushes. Hu Zhongnan occupied After Yan'an, I was eager to find my main force for a decisive battle. If our army can really convince the enemy that it is the main force of the field army and mobilize it, our real main force will have a great chance.”

Hearing what Li Yong said, Head Zhao Jin and the other leaders showed expressions of surprise. They looked at each other, and Head Zhao said to Li Yong: "If you have anything else to say, just keep talking. Hidden away."

Li Yong went on to say: "So if I want to achieve our goal, we must do the following:

1. When the enemy plane is reconnaissance, don't march around swaggeringly. The enemies are not all fools. We have to do some evasive actions to make the pilot think that we don't want him to find out.

2 We will put up some slogans when we march.

3. Pick some soldiers from Hunan and Hubei from the army to pretend to be grown-ups. Everywhere they go, they have to chat with fellow villagers and hold meetings on purpose.

4 The enemy now has three means of reconnaissance against us, one is planes, the other is sending spies, and the third is radio interception, so we have to create busy radio signals to make the enemy mistakenly think that we are the command organization of the field army. "

Speaking of this, Li Yong saw the leaders with their mouths wide open and their eyes wide open, and hurriedly said: "My leaders, I've finished my words." He patted Li Yong on the head and said, "Are you really a deserter from the Kuomintang? Why do you speak in the same tone as the head of the headquarters? This brain is not simple, what you analyze are all our secrets."

Li Daoguo, who was standing next to him, snorted: My good fellow, the analysis of this issue seems to know everything. Those who understand the inside story know that you are a deserter from the Kuomintang, and those who don't know think you are a senior staff officer from the headquarters.Li Yong looked at Li Jiangguo: "It's nothing, as long as we use our brains well, we can know that if we have completed the mission and really mobilized the enemy's mobile forces on the Northwest battlefield, the main force should now look for opportunities around Yan'an Annihilate the enemy."

Li Yong didn't dare to go any further. The real history is that after the enemy occupied Yan'an, our Northwest Field Army sent a small force to lure the enemy to the north. This is the current force. The main force is lying in ambush in Qinghuabian near Yan'an In the area, the 32nd brigade of the enemy search force was wiped out after two hours of fierce fighting after finding the fighter plane.

The elders said: "Okay, don't analyze it further, we don't know if it is true or not, but Li Yong, your brain is very easy to use. You are only 19 years old. This brain is really not simple."

Commander Zhao Jin said to Li Yong: "Dayong, after this mission is completed, you can serve as a soldier in our regiment and as a combat staff officer in our regiment headquarters, okay?"

At this time, the other two chiefs disagreed; "I said, Lao Zhao, why did Li Yong get your regiment as a soldier? The same is true for our regiment. Li Yong, when you come to our regiment, you will also be appointed as a staff officer."

Li Yong hurriedly said: "Thanks to the leaders, but I think the most important thing now is to complete our tasks well, and then I will talk about my joining that army." The leaders looked at each other, and one of them said : "Okay, then you continue to march with the guard company, we will follow the method you said, see if it works, and if we can deceive Hu Zongnan.
