The beacon of youth

From that day on, several of Li Yong's suggestions were adopted. The soldiers continued to put up slogans beside the marching route, held meetings for fellow villagers at random, and used the radios they carried to create various communication signals.

Two days later, it was Li Jiangguo who found Li Yong, saying that the commander had something to do with him. When Li Yong arrived at the regiment command post, he saw that several regiment leaders were there, and hurriedly stood at attention and saluted: "Soldier Li Yong, come to report." At this time, a leader said: "Sit down, let me tell you a piece of news. This morning, our Northwest Field Army wiped out the 32nd Brigade at Qinghuabian near Yan'an. After two hours of fighting, we wiped out [-] enemies."But he said: "That's great." Commander Zhao Jin said to Li Yong: "Li Yong, it seems that you know our army's tactics very well, and your prediction for this battle is also very accurate. After a while, after this battle is over, the mission of our unit will be completed. This temporary unit will also be self-reliant. You can come to our regiment as a staff officer. Let me tell you by the way, my unit number is Northwest The Second Column of the Field Army, the Fourth Brigade and the Second Regiment did not ask for your opinion, what do you think?"

Li Yong thought to himself, it seems that God is still taking care of him. When he ran out of the Kuomintang field hospital, he pretended to be a member of the Second Column of the Northwest Field Army. This time it became true. Since God let him live again Whatever you say, you have to make a good appearance. I am a graduate of the Modern Command Academy and a veteran with 13 years of military experience. Although I have never fought in a real war, I have participated in the actual military exercises of the army. This time we will live him A vigorous.

Thinking of this, he hurriedly said: "Commanders, it's okay for me to serve as a soldier there, but I don't want to be a staff officer in the regiment headquarters." Commander Zhao Jin smiled and said: "Oh, I don't want to be a staff officer, so what do you want to do?" Li Yong stood at attention and said : "Reporter, if the chief can trust me, let me go to the front line to lead troops, and I don't want to go to the old army, the chief will give me a few people, and I will take them to see."

Head Zhao looked at Li Yong and said: "Your ambition is not small, it seems that you have a plan in mind, tell me what you think." Li Yong thought about it and said: "Head, I have a little idea. I want a company establishment; second, my company is not under the jurisdiction of each battalion, but directly under the regiment headquarters, and the name starts with the regiment headquarters, and you can call it whatever you want; third, give me [-] veterans who are more than five years old And an instructor with strong working ability, I have to be given an experienced cooking squad leader and several cooks; Fourth, we can solve the weapons and equipment of our company by ourselves, but if we have captured them in the future, we can choose our company first. The higher-level units cannot interfere; fifth, our company cannot have combat missions within three months; sixth, the training methods and methods are up to me."

Several chiefs looked at each other, and one chief said: "What a boy, he is arrogant enough, he is really not a fuel-efficient lamp, Lao Zhao, we have discussed it, you can figure it out, he is already your soldier , we won’t give you any advice.”

Commander Zhao thought for a while and said: "I can agree to most of the conditions, and I can give you a company establishment. Your company will be directly under the regiment headquarters. The name is the spy company. You are the company commander. You can do the training yourself. Weapons I don’t have the equipment and equipment even if you want them. Now the average soldier in our regiment only has a dozen bullets and not many grenades. I am a pauper as the regiment leader. If you capture it in the future, you have the final say. I can promise you all of this. , You can also give you a good cooking squad leader, and you will be equipped with instructors even if you don’t tell me. Company-level units must have our party branch. This is an iron discipline of our party and the army that must be enforced. But I don’t have 2 veterans with more than 5 years, and the veterans with more than 5 years are already commanders at all levels of our army, so there is no way to give them to you, but I can give you 2 veterans with 3 years of service.”

Li Yong thought about it, but it is true. Now is the time of war. The five-year veterans are already experienced commanders at all levels. Even the three-year veterans are already amazing. Thinking of this, he hurriedly said: "Just This way, three-year veterans are also fine." Commander Zhao Jin smiled and said, "You can go back, Company Commander Li, and wait at your place to receive your soldiers after lunch."

Li Yong stood at attention and saluted, then turned around and walked out. He returned to his place, which was the station of the guard company of the regiment headquarters. He lay on the bed made of rough grass and began to think about the future. The boss has already agreed, and if he doesn't do well, it's his own business, and he has to think about how to carry out his work.

Not long after lunch, I heard someone knocking on them outside. Li Yong yelled to come in. Following his yell, two people walked in. One was Li Jiangguo, and the other was a young soldier about 24 or [-] years old. Wearing a white-washed gray military uniform, with a shell gun slung across his back, he looked very energetic when he stood there.

The man smiled and said to Li Yong, "You are Li Yong, Company Commander Li? Let me introduce myself. My name is Wang Chengde. I used to be an officer in the political department of our regiment, but now I am the instructor of our special agent company." A very capable person, hurriedly said: "Welcome to your instructor, from now on the two of us will eat in the same pot."

Wang Chengde smiled and said loudly: "Company commander, I have brought everyone here, you can go outside and have a look." Li Yong thought, good guy, the commander's speed is fast enough.So I went out with Instructor Wang, and saw that the yard was much more lively than before. There were more than 20 people standing there. Wang Chengde pointed to a soldier who was older than the others and said, "His name is Sun Quanhou, 32 years old. , is the squad leader of the cooking squad assigned by the regiment leader to our company, and also our big brother, and there are three other cooks, the ones behind him."

Li Yong walked up to the soldiers, and saw that although these soldiers were all wearing old gray military uniforms and carrying old-fashioned rifles, they were full of vigor and spirit. It could be seen that they were veterans who had experienced many battles. They are the essence of our army, the treasure of our army, and the old bones of our party. We must take them well.Li Yong checked the personnel carefully twice. Except for the four members of the cooking class and the instructor, there were only [-] people left. Li Yong returned to the instructor and whispered: "Our regiment leader promised to give us twenty fighters, why? Only nineteen? Where is the other one?"

The instructor smiled: "There is another one that is far away in the sky and right in front of you. Look around." Li Yong understood a bit after seeing it, "Could it be you, Li Jiangguo?" I heard the same.

Li Yong laughed loudly: "Oh, our leader really thinks highly of me." Then he shouted again: "Li Jiangguo." Li Jiangguo was still staring at the sky and said nothing.Li Yong saw that this guy was not convinced, and immediately said: "Instructor Wang, please tell him the number of our company, my position, and Li Jiangguo's position."

Wang Chengde also understood what was going on, and knew Li Jiangguo's mood now. He also had his own opinion on Li Yong being the company commander. A deserter from the Kuomintang who had just been captured became a special agent company of the regiment headquarters within a few days. Company commander, this is too strange. If Li Jiangguo is the company commander, I would think it is normal, but Li Yong, a deserter from the Kuomintang, is the company commander. The meritorious guard platoon leader was demoted to a soldier, and he would have his own ideas, but Li Yong's appointment as company commander was decided by the regiment party committee, and he was also appointed by the regiment party committee. Since he is an instructor, he must protect the company commander. authority.

Thinking of this, he said loudly to Li Jiangguo: "We are the second column of the Northwest Field Army of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, the special agent company of the fourth brigade and second regiment. This is our company commander. You, Li Jiangguo, are soldiers of the special agent company. Do you hear me?" Li Jiangguo Hearing the instructor ask him this question, he had no choice but to answer: "I heard that." Li Yong immediately shouted again when he saw Li Jiangguo's answer: "Li Jiangguo." , had no choice but to answer loudly: "Go." Li Yong continued: "Now I appoint Comrade Li Jiangguo as the correspondent of the secret service company. Reporting from where I live with the instructor."

Li Jiangguo answered and took the soldiers to find a place to live.After the soldiers left, Li Yong and Wang Chengde returned to the house. At this time, Wang Chengde said to Li Yong: "Company commander, when I came, the regiment leader told me that our temporary decoy unit will be disbanded immediately. This afternoon I returned to the building, and left at night. Now the soldiers are returning the things of the nearby villagers, leaving only the things of the guard company. The head of the group means that our special agent company does not need to act together with the regiment headquarters for the time being. How to act? You decide."

Li Yong said: "Instructor, after the comrades have arranged the place to live, I will have a few words with you. This afternoon, the two of us will work out the future work arrangements of our spy company." At this time, someone outside the door called for a report, and Wang Chengde called The voice came in, and Li Jiangguo came in and said: "I have arranged the accommodation for comrades."

Li Yong glanced at Li Jiangguo: "Tell the comrades to gather in half an hour." Li Jiangguo said without moving: "Report to the company commander, I don't have a watch, so I can't be sure of the exact time." Li Yong patted his head, It is now [-], not to mention the soldiers, not even the commanders have watches?I didn't have a watch, so I asked Wang Chengde, "Do you have a watch, instructor?" Wang Chengde said, "I don't have one either, but don't worry, the leader gave me this thing when I came." After speaking, he took it out of his satchel. When an object came out, Li Yong saw that it was an old-fashioned small alarm clock. Although it is not very good, it is better than nothing, and we can only rely on it in the future. It seems that the leader is also a caring person. Li Yong shouted again He said: "Li Jiangguo will keep this alarm clock for you from now on."
