The beacon of youth

Chiang Kai-shek, who got off the plane, didn't even look at Hu Zongnan, and got into the car and left. This made Hu Zongnan even more uneasy, and hurriedly stopped a person who flew over from Nanjing with Chiang Kai-shek to ask for news.

This person and Hu Zongnan are old acquaintances, and the relationship between the two has always been good. Seeing that the people around him hid away knowingly, he said quietly: "What else can I do? The principal is very angry. Look at the current state of the country. The battlefield in the Northwest is like a pot of porridge everywhere. The strength of the Communist Party in the northwest battlefield is the weakest. Originally, the headmaster hoped that you could solve the main force of the Communist army in the northwest within a short period of time, and then return to the west of Henan to save your few 10 Tens of thousands of horses were used, and the Central Plains Communist Army of Liu Bocheng and Deng Xiaoping was wiped out by the method of tigers descending the mountain, so that the war situation in the whole country came to life."

"Unexpectedly, not only did you fail to eliminate the Northwest Communist Army, but you took so many troops from the national army, and even killed Liu Kan and Yan Ming, both of whom are lieutenant generals in the army. What do you think the principal can do? I dropped several teacups, and I lost my temper with my wife (Song Meiling), so that’s all I can say bro, so be careful.”

In Xi'an, Hu Tsung-nan's official office, although the student Chiang Kai-shek tried his best to arrange his principal in his mansion.

After getting off the plane, Chiang Kai-shek couldn't take a break, and immediately held a meeting of senior generals. Hu Zongnan no longer had the prestige of the past, and stood there like a log.

His principal yelled at him: "Mother Xishi, my mother (this sentence is not Chiang Kai-shek's tone, the author Hu Tian), what kind of battle are you fighting? Can all the weapons and equipment of the United States be inferior to the Communist army's Mi Jia Rifle? Hu Zongnan, listen to me, I will announce right now that I will dismiss you and cut off your penis (this sentence is also from the author Hu Tian) and keep it for inspection.”

After taking a breath, Chiang Kai-shek continued: "The death of a teacher in Yichuan is the biggest setback since the national army suppressed the bandits. One general can exhaust thousands of troops. It is you Hu Zongnan who made tens of thousands of loyal and brave soldiers of our party die for the country. You, He is a sinner through the ages."

Hu Zongnan, a student who has followed Chiang Kai-shek for decades, from the Northern Expedition to the Red Army period, and then to the Anti-Japanese War later, this is the first time he has been scolded so fiercely

A few years later, the Kuomintang wrote in its so-called history of the war against chaos: In this battle, since the defeat of Liu Kan’s army, Guanzhong was empty, and was forced to transfer the troops from southern Shanxi and western Henan to Guanzhong, which caused the opening of southern Shanxi and the capture of Linfen. Siege, Luoyang fell, and the communist army in Funiu Mountain was strong. [

Hu Zongnan learned from the pain, and handed in his resignation letter: Zong Nanneng, who wronged the party and the country, was painstakingly cultivated by the principal, and was willing to be dismissed for investigation.

But when Chiang Kai-shek saw Hu Zongnan's resignation report, he changed his mind again. Why?Because although Hu Zongnan is not very good at commanding and fighting, he has never fought any decent battles or victories, let alone Mr. Peng's opponent, but he has advantages, and he is absolutely loyal to his principal. This is what reassures Chiang Kai-shek the most. of

There are many capable people, but not many are as loyal as Hu Zongnan. Bai Chongxi is capable. He is known as Zhuge in the army, but he is also ambitious. He still thinks about his position as president when he has nothing to do. It can't be used either. On the other hand, although Hu Zongnan is not capable, he still has to use it.

The principal encouraged again: "Although Zongnan is stupid, he is loyal and reliable. Let him stay in his current position and see the effect later. Let him make meritorious deeds." Such a poor student and a worrying principal.

In Yichuan, the Guanzhong barrier that Hu Zongnan struggled to support was completely destroyed. The Northwest Field Army gained a huge strategic initiative, and the first battle of the strategic offensive was successful.

Since the beginning of April, the temperature has risen and the ice and snow have melted. The Northwest Field Army who finished the battle of Yichuan has been resting in the area for more than half a month.

With the efforts of all commanders and fighters, the campaign achieved great success, eliminated the Kuomintang's heavy army group, and reversed the situation in the Northwest War. .

Before the start of the battle, the total strength of the field army exceeded 2. After the war, the statistics showed that there were less than [-] combat personnel. This shows that more than [-] soldiers were injured, died or disappeared in this battle.

Because there were too many wounded, the field military hospital was under a lot of pressure. Fortunately, Yulin was captured in the previous battle. There is a local hospital in Yulin City. With this city, it is not a big city according to the current vision, but it was not a small city at that time. Relying on it, the treatment of the wounded is much better. This time, most of the wounded were transported to the rear hospital in Yulin.

More than 1000 soldiers from the Independent Regiment were sent to the rear hospital. It should be the regiment-level unit with the most casualties in the entire field army.

There is no such thing as a free lunch in the world, which is exactly what the saying goes, if you want to be famous, you have to suffer behind your back. When other army cadres and soldiers mentioned the independent regiment of the Second Column, they would all say one thing, amazing , Niu, insist on it, but the uncomfortable strength of the independent regiment can only be borne by the soldiers themselves.

Half of Wang Huo's Fifth Battalion is gone, and many good comrades-in-arms are gone, and most of the soldiers who are not psychologically strong have cried secretly.

Li Yong and Wang Chengde asked the independent group to stay at the Yulin material procurement and supply station, and not to do any other work. The main task at this stage is to do their best to take care of the wounded sent to Yulin, of course , must be the wounded of the independent regiment itself.

It's not that Li Yong's egotism is too strong, but that he really doesn't have the ability to manage other troops. The more than 1000 wounded in the independent regiment is already a big burden

Although taking care of and treating the wounded is the job of the hospital and has nothing to do with the combat troops, but Li Yong is well aware of the medical conditions at that time, and so many wounded were sent here, whether it was food or medicine, it would be very tight. [

The physical recovery of the wounded has a lot to do with the nutrition of the food they eat. How to supplement the nutrition of the soldiers in the hospital where even an egg was precious at that time is the main problem faced by the people in the procurement station now.

In order to solve the problem of leaving and leaving the disabled soldiers, the independent regiment set up a left-behind base in Yulin, and was responsible for purchasing some useful materials for the regiment in the rear

But there is only one car and dozens of disabled soldiers in this base. With the ability of dozens of them, how to complete the tasks assigned by the regiment leader and political commissar is not a small problem.

These dozens of people held a meeting for a long time. At the meeting, everyone came up with some solutions. Although there are many wounded in the regiment, not all of them are seriously wounded, so the most important thing for everyone to take care of is those who are seriously wounded. , As long as the initial period of time has passed, some lightly wounded people will recover almost, and then these lightly wounded people will be organized, and there will be more manpower.

The staff at the purchasing station notified Li Yong and Wang Chengde of their decision, and they agreed to their solution without saying anything, so they had no choice but to do it this way.

Li Yong's decision is really right. The independent group is currently resting in the Yichuan area, which is far away from Yulin. They don't know what the situation is and how to give orders. It would be more practical to let the comrades at the scene see the situation and solve it. .

When a large number of wounded were transported back to Yulin, there was a real problem. What's the problem?Yulin's hospital can't accommodate so many wounded

Although the hospital has given up all the rooms that can be vacated, it is still too far from the need. When the leaders of the hospital and the local government are in a hurry, this situation is set up by the independent group at the Yulin Purchasing Station. knew.

The person in charge of this purchasing station is a veteran of the Independence Regiment, who lost a leg during the Battle of Yulin, his eyes lit up immediately after hearing the news, and an idea came into his head.

The task given by the head of the regiment and the political commissar is to do their best to take good care of the wounded who have returned, but how to take care of these wounded is not a simple problem, and it is not only a matter of taking care of the wounded, but also some more sensitive things. Not easy to solve.

The sensitive thing that the person in charge of the procurement station thinks about is the supplies of the independent regiment. The living standard in the regiment is obviously better than that of other troops. No one else will know about it.

But it’s not enough in the hospital. The wounded are room-by-room and bed-by-bed. You feel like giving nutrition to the wounded in your regiment, while letting the wounded in other troops stare blankly. These people are all yours. Comrade, isn't it a bit too much to do this, but if you don't do this, the little supplies in the procurement station will be nothing when divided equally.

Hearing the news that there were not enough rooms in the hospital reminded the veterans of this independent regiment to think of a way. This way is to let the more than 1000 wounded of the independent regiment return to their former regiment in Yulin for recuperation.

Treat the station in your regiment as another branch hospital, and let the doctors and nurses from the hospital come to make regular rounds and take care of you. In this way, all you have to deal with are the wounded in your regiment, and things will be easier if no one else joins in. ?

Just do what you say, the station master immediately went to the person in charge of the Yulin rear hospital and the head of the local government, and told them what he thought. When the hospital and government leaders heard it, it was really great. Is it the same as sending carbon? Is there any reason not to agree?

The head of the Independent Regiment Purchasing Station said to the two leaders: "We can bring back people, but only the wounded of our regiment. You will be responsible for everything else, including food and medical treatment. We just provide residence. 'Old Ba, thank you for your support! ~!
