The beacon of youth

Chapter 351 Strategic Counterattack

Li Yong and Wang Chengde, who came to the meeting, took a squad of the guard company, and the company commander Li Yuming led the team to the headquarters of the field army. There were four brand new jeeps parked in a pile of small cars.

The chiefs went into the courtyard for a meeting, and the security personnel from each unit were waiting not too far from the small courtyard. The headquarters of the field army had its own security personnel, and they were responsible for the specific work, so those who followed the troop chiefs The fighters looked relaxed.

Ordinarily, among the people who came to the meeting, the lowest rank was the commander of the brigade level. It is impossible for the guards to pay so much attention to the people brought by the two brigade commanders and the political commissar, but who would have thought that the jeeps of the independent brigade would attract everyone's attention? Notice that soldiers from several fraternal units are chatting around company commander Li Yuming.

Wearing a helmet and combat boots, Li Yuming, the standard equipment of the independent brigade, gave a circle of smoke to several soldiers surrounded by the car, and took out a shiny lighter in the surprised eyes of these soldiers , "Clang", a blue flame burst out from the opened lid of the lighter.

Use this blue flame to light the cigarettes for these soldiers, and finally light the cigarette in his mouth, take a deep breath, and then use an inadvertent and instructive mouth. Said: "Let me explain first, the security personnel of our independent brigade drove two more cars. It is not called nonsense, it is called combat needs. We are the security personnel of the chief, and we must be ready for battle at any time, whether it is on the battlefield or not. Driving a few more cars can disperse possible enemy targets, which is good for the safety of the chief.

In addition, you can’t call wheels like horse-drawn carts and donkey carts. They are called tires. Do you understand tires?It is made of rubber, which is completely different from the wooden wheels used to make it. Do you know where there is a lot of rubber?Tell you, it is in some very hot places in the Philippines and Malaysia, how hot is it?It is so hot that there is no winter but only summer. People wear single clothes all year round. There are many big trees that grow rubber there. By the way, you may not know where the Philippines and Malaysia are. They are the most commonly called Nanyang by our people. The rubber is the best, it is very suitable for making tires. After our army develops to a certain level, we will clean up all the Kuomintang, and then go to those places to have a look, seize those trees full of rubber, and produce more. For tires, when there is a war in the future, each car will have two spares on it, so as not to have anything to replace if it is broken. "

Li Yuming's ramblings made the surrounding soldiers turn their heads a little bit. Isn't this thing called a wheel or a tire?Well, tires are just tires, but I haven't heard any chief say that the troops will go to that hot place in the future to capture all the trees. Will the big tree survive after being removed?Can it be used to make car wheels or rubber for tires?

An older soldier thought for a while and said: "Commander Li, don't be fooled by us. We don't know the name of the place you mentioned, but we know about Nanyang. According to the old man, Nanyang is far away from us. It’s far, far away, and there’s an ocean in the middle. Good guy, it’s the ocean. I’ve never seen an ocean when I grow up. If I want to go there, I’ll have to take a boat. There’s always a big storm in the sea, so it’s not easy to even take a boat with you. It's all over, can we go there? I feel dizzy when I see water, let alone fighting, maybe I can't even control myself."

Li Yuming blew a smoke ring towards the sky, and said in a disdainful tone: "What's the matter with you guys, are you still soldiers? Are you still soldiers of our People's Liberation Army? What's so great about the sea, our army There will be great development in the future, and we will have a navy. Does the navy know? It is a force dedicated to fighting at sea, and there will be many large warships. We are not afraid of languors. When the time comes, we will all go there in warships, and the tree will not move away. Don’t be afraid, why don’t we just liberate the places where there are big trees? How did the brain grow? Don’t think that I speak badly, I’m a bit stupid.”

A security squad from the Independent Brigade was not too far away from Li Yuming. They all heard the chat between Li Yuming and the soldiers of the brother army very clearly. The soldiers in the security squad looked at each other and couldn't hold back their laughter. .

The soldiers murmured in low voices: "Our company commander bought what he heard from the brigade commander to be a nong cloud cover. Don't tell me, if you don't know, you can really ask him to live with a tiger. Look at those boys, they all listened." Silly."

Li Yuming, the company commander, has the highest position among these guards. During the war, the soldiers had absolute trust in their superiors, and the leaders of the brother units also had prestige. These soldiers who were a little silly thought hard , and then said in agreement: "What Company Commander Li said makes sense. Since the big tree is not easy to move, we won't move it. Wouldn't it be over to liberate all the places where the tree grows? What a great way to pull the warship back, I never thought of it."

The people who sent the second column of Li Yuming knew this well, and several guards from the column headquarters who followed Commander Wang also discussed in a low voice: "Hehe, the independent brigade is good enough, the brigade commander and political commissar I brought a guard squad to the meeting, and the company commander personally led the team, hey, it’s bigger than our commander’s spectrum.”

The other said: "What's the matter? They were so powerful when they were still in the independent regiment. Our commander also said that once when we went to the hospital to see the wounded and Brigadier Li and the others met, the independent regiment rushed over. They gathered a large group of people, and the car specially brought a lot of nutrition for the wounded of their regiment, and they were extremely fierce, if you don’t know, you really don’t know who the commander is.”

The guard who spoke first sighed and said: "Brigade Commander Li is a little bit arrogant, but he is really kind to the soldiers and the wounded. Look at what the people in the Independent Brigade eat and wear, as well as the equipment. Who doesn't envy seeing it? We are still the headquarters of the column, aren't we just as inferior as others?"

Regardless of how these guards are talking about it, many antennas of different heights have been set up above this small courtyard, and there are troops in charge of defense that can be clearly seen on the hill a little farther away. The meeting of senior cadres above the Northwest Field Army is being held in this humble courtyard.

From time to time, a thick voice came from the open windows and doors: "Comrades, the situation is very good. Chairman Mao and the Party Central Committee have made up their minds. The defense has turned into a strategic offensive, that is to say, we will no longer make concessions to the Kuomintang, and we will no longer hide in Tibet to fight guerrillas with the enemy. Instead, we will attack the enemy from the front. The Kuomintang does not always say that our People's Liberation Army is fighting Isn’t it regular? Don’t you always like to say that we don’t know how to fight tough battles? This time, our People’s Liberation Army is going to fight them head-on, and confront them from the front, eye to eye, nose to nose, face to face Face to face, gun to gun, see what they say."

There was a pause when the voice came here, and there was a buzzing voice coming from the room, the voice was high and low, and it was not a single person talking, but a lot of people arguing about something together, which can be seen through the open window Li Yong and Wang Chengde sat behind Commander Wang, sitting with Brigadier Chen.

This is the first time that Li Yong and Wang Chengde participated in the senior cadre meeting of the army as brigade-level commanders. Don't look at Li Yuming and the others who are arrogant outside, but Li Yong and Wang Chengde inside the room are cautious ,Why?Just because the qualifications are too low, who are the people who come to the meeting?Most of them were old Red Army soldiers who had gone through the Long March. In front of them, Li Yong and Wang Chengde were no different from children.

Fortunately, I met several old acquaintances this time, Brigadier Liu of the Ninth Brigade, Brigadier Chen Haihan of the Sixth Column Teaching Brigade, and the commander of the Yesi Cavalry Division. These people greeted Li Yong and Wang Chengde as soon as they came up. , no one pretends to be an old-timer and an old revolutionary, and Li Yong and Wang Chengde feel much better.

In particular, Brigadier Liu of the Ninth Brigade, before the meeting, dragged Li Yong and Wang Chengde to chat endlessly, muttering incessantly: "Young people are awesome. When I met you two, you were just company commanders and instructors. I didn't expect you to be as old as a veteran like me now, and my old Liu asked you to serve as some kind of battalion commander and instructor in our Ninth Brigade, it seems that you two boys are right not to come here."

His eyes seemed to be full of stars, gathering stars, Li Yong seemed to see the gold stars on the shoulders of these generals a few years later, but he wanted to return to thinking, could he also do this?It is estimated that it is enough.

Of course, Li Yong knew about these things that Boss Peng said, but he knew that he knew it. After being told by Boss Peng, he was very excited. Since the August 20st Nanchang Uprising in 20, the People's Liberation Army has fought non-stop for [-] days. For many years, these [-] years have been spent in a state where the enemy is strong and we are weak. Now that the opportunity to stand up has come, Li Yong, a pervert who knew it first, is very excited, let alone those who have joined the army since they were teenagers. Senior commander.

The solemn venue was filled with excitement. I had been looking forward to this day for so many years. Commander He Bingyan of the first column stood up and said, "Mr. Paste Bucket has been thinking since that day when we can open up and face-to-face with the Kuomintang. After so many years, it finally came to this day. Nothing else to say, the whole country is going to counterattack, and we can't watch the excitement , My idea is that if we fight a few more big victories and eat a few more bites of it, Hu Zongnan will be enough."
