The beacon of youth

Chapter 334 Li Zhen who regained Yan'an

Yan'an in July and August is the hottest time of the year, and the common people who watched the excitement kept fanning themselves with objects in their hands, but the independent brigade walking forward from the rostrum made people feel There was a savage coldness, a coldness that came from the bottom of his bones.Book Friends Whole_Li*provide~provide

Under the leadership of the brigade commander Li Yong, the entire army exudes a murderous aura, yes, it is a murderous aura, this is a unique temperament of an army rolled out of a sea of ​​​​blood, it is invincible and invincible A temperament that can only be cultivated by a hero's army.

Clenching the submachine gun in his hand, staring hard at the front, more than 500 pairs of military boots trampled on the ground, and the sound of drum-like footsteps was breathtaking, forward, forward.

The common people who were still laughing and joking just now suddenly stopped talking, and the scene suddenly fell silent, only the sound of the soldiers' feet touching the ground was silent.

After a while, someone suddenly broke the silence, and the silence immediately turned into a small discussion. One person said: "Hey, I said, brother, why haven't I seen this army before? Where did this come from?" from?"

The other said: "Look at what you said, what do you mean by popping up? This is the most elite unit in our Eighth Route Army. It was kept secret before people knew it. Now Hu Zongnan let us beat him away, so he took it out and let us go." You all have a look, do you understand?"

Another person said: "What nonsense are you explaining? Why are you keeping it secret? If you don't understand, don't talk about it. In my opinion, this army must have been specially set up to protect Chairman Mao. Look at their equipment. Have you seen it?" Is there an Eighth Route Army with all helmets on? That’s right, it must be the most powerful army, isn’t it? Chairman Mao’s old man has arrived in Hebei, and Hebei also has a special army to protect our Chairman Mao, so they came out to fight with Chairman Mao The Kuomintang stubborn army fought."

(During the War of Liberation, the common people in northern Shaanxi called the Kuomintang Army many ways, the more popular ones were White Army, Central Army, Suffering Army, Stubborn Army, etc.)

In fact, the common people idealized their ideas. When they moved to northern Shaanxi, the guards of Chairman Mao and the Party Central Committee had only four companies, and the total strength of these four companies was only more than 200 ( The company size of the Northwest Field Army is much smaller than that of other field armies. More than 100 people is an amazing Dalian team. It was very common at that time), Chairman Mao strictly prohibited the use of combat troops to do security work for the government.

Leaving aside what the common people were talking about, Luan guessed it. At this moment, the commander of the second column, Wang Zhen, opened his mouth wide open, laughed and introduced to the people around him: "See? It's Lao Tzu's troops coming. It is the newly established independent brigade, and the leader is Li Yong, the brigade commander. Who of you has such a unit? Who has such a brigade commander? Let me see it too, hahahaha."

Commander Wang's loud laughter made these wild divisions and column leaders look sideways, and political commissar Xi Zhongxun poked Boss Peng who was sitting next to him: "Boss, Wang's beard is getting big again, look, make this guy happy!" .”

The calm Boss Peng also smiled inadvertently, and if we send out such a troop, I will order them to collectively stand up. "

"Don't be dumbfounded, don't be dumbfounded, hurry up and applaud." Papapapapa, clapping vigorously was Wang Zhen, the commander of the second column sitting on the rostrum.

The elders on the rostrum looked at each other, hey, what can I say, this guy stole the limelight again, but I don’t blame Wang Huzi’s arrogance, the troop walking past is really good, from the commander From the members to the soldiers, they are all very good, and the spirit of the troops is exciting to watch. We applaud along with him because of his beard.

The commander of the first column He Bingyan (General in [-]), the commander of the third column Xu Guangda (General in [-]), the commander of the fourth column Zhang Dazhi (Lieutenant general in [-]), and the commander of the sixth column Luo Yuan (General in [-]). Lieutenant General) and so on, on the rostrum are the stars shining, and these people, led by Commander Wang, applauded the independent brigade who walked past the stage. (There are also several well-known generals in the field army's chief agency, which will be introduced later)

Leaving aside the gossip, the independent brigade that ended the military parade has become famous this time. In the entire Yan'an area, including local governments and ordinary people, who doesn't know that the second column has an independent brigade?There is also a small brigade commander named Li Yong, who always gives thumbs up when he mentions this unit, saying that it is a top-notch unit.

There are still victorious legends among the common people that this army has never lost a battle since its establishment, and they were the first to rush in to attack Yan'an this time.

The soldiers of the Independent Brigade are awesome. When the cows go out, their faces are all bright, and they almost have a badge printed on their chests, which says, I am from the Independent Brigade.

The brigade commander is already a senior commander of the army, and Li Yong has more opportunities to go to the headquarters of the field army. On this day, the field division once again held a meeting of cadres above the brigade. Li Yong and Wang Chengde, who arrived a little earlier, were called out by Boss Peng. In the past, (hehe, it was the first time to formally participate in the enlarged meeting of the field army as a brigade commander. Of course, I had to be more active in advance.)

I have met Boss Peng more than once, but every time I meet Li Yong, I am very excited. He is such a very ordinary-looking person. His appearance is very similar to that of a typical farmer in rural China. During the crisis, more than 2 people were used to drag Hu Zongnan's more than 30 troops to the Northwest.

After meeting Boss Peng, he still said to the two of them unhurriedly: "The battle was well fought, and the military parade was also very good, but we can't be proud. Your brigade is a surprisingly effervescent unit in our Northwest Field Army. But compared with other field armies, it is very average, like the East China Field Army and the Northeast Field Army, each of their columns has more than [-] subordinate divisions, and their weapons and equipment are no worse than yours."

Li Yong and Wang Chengde listened quietly. Boss Peng rarely spoke to a brigade commander in this tone. It was also to remind the two young commanders that such an opportunity is rare, so he paused for a while. Boss Peng of the meeting continued: "Who told us to be poor? We have a shortage of personnel in the Northwest. It is not easy for us to replenish. The size of the army has always been small, but it will not always be like this. The size of the army must be expanded. There are bigger tasks waiting for us, you must hurry up and do everything possible to improve the combat effectiveness of the troops, there will be more difficult tasks for you to complete."

When we were talking about this, someone suddenly shouted a report outside the door. The voice of the report was very clear, and it was an obvious woman's voice.

Boss Peng said without even turning his head: "Nonsense, what are you calling for a report, is it Lao Li? Come in quickly." Following the voice, a middle-aged female soldier walked in.

This female soldier is wearing a gray military uniform that has been washed white, with patches on the cuffs and shoulders of the clothes, a gray military cap, and a short hair that reaches the ears. She looks very energetic and capable. After entering He kept looking at Li Yong and Wang Chengde, and after looking at them for a while, he laughed heartily and said, "Boss, if you don't introduce me, what are these two young people doing?"

Li Yong and Wang Chengde were a little surprised by the tone of the female soldier's speech, why?Because in the Northwest Field Army, there are not many people who call Boss Peng "Boss", only a few leaders of the field division call Boss, and even the commanders at the first level of the column are also called "Boss Peng", like Li Yong and Wang Chengde. The commanders below this kind of brigade are usually called the chief, and the title of "boss" has two meanings, one is to express kindness and close relationship, and the other is to have a very close identity.

Why does this woman also call Boss Peng "Boss"?Who is she?According to Boss Peng's tone, she was not satisfied with calling for a report when she came in. Who could be in the commanding body who can enter the wild division without calling for a report?

When Li Yong and Wang Chengde were full of doubts, Boss Peng also smiled and said: "Old Li, you have a bad temper. Let me introduce you. These two are the famous independent members of our second column." The brigade commander and political commissar are Wang Huzi's soldiers."

The female soldier's eyes lit up and said: "Hey, Wang Huzi can train these two young people? Isn't it easy? I will go to him to learn from him when I have time, and see what a good method he uses."

What the female soldier said made Li Yong and Wang Chengde even more confused. Commander Wang Zhen is a well-known general, let alone in the Northwest Field Army, even in the entire People's Liberation Army, including the Kuomintang army. , who doesn't know Wang Zhen?

It is not an ordinary person who can call Commander Wang "Wang Beard". What's more, this female soldier calls Commander Wang "This guy Wang Beard". Who can call Commander Wang like that?

Both Li Yong and Wang Chengde were very clever people, and they both guessed that this female soldier was unusual, but they were not sure who it was.

"Don't let these two guys get confused. This is the director of the political department of our field army and the chief of our organization section. Comrade Li Zhen, let's get to know each other."

After Boss Peng finished speaking, Li Yong felt his head flicker, and suddenly thought of someone, my God, who dared to say that in front of Boss Peng, it turned out to be Li Zhen, it was Li Zhenna.

Who is Li Zhen?She was the first female general in New China, and the only female general when Chairman Mao was awarded the title in [-]. She is a very famous person in the military history of the Chinese People's Liberation Army.
