The beacon of youth

Chapter 422 Boss He

On the morning of the second day after the Independent Brigade entered Xi'an, the 49th Regiment of the avant-garde troops of the Sixteenth Division of the Sixth Army also arrived. The soldiers of the Independent Brigade standing guard in front of the city gate choked the head of the regiment back with a few words.

The regiment leader didn't say a word when he was choked up, and almost lost his breath when he rolled his eyes: "Okay, okay, you can, your independent brigade is very capable."

After finishing speaking, the regiment leader took off the walkie-talkie microphone from the car and shouted into it: "Master, we are the 49th Regiment of the Front Guards. We are late. Xi'an has been occupied. The troops entering the city are independent troops from the First Corps and the Second Army. Brigade, when we arrived, they were all put on duty in front of the city mn. Commander, you said that the dog paws of the Second Army were too long. Didn’t the superiors order them to attack Xianyang? Why did they run away in the blink of an eye? Xi'an is here?"

As soon as the group leader finished speaking, he heard bursts of laughter coming from the walkie-talkie: "Okay, I know, it must be the ghost of the kid Dayong, you don't need to worry about this matter, hurry up and go to the city , to help the Independent Brigade rectify the defense of Xi'an, remember, you are not allowed to play emotions with brother troops, your 49th regiment must temporarily obey the command of the Independent Brigade Brigadier Li and Political Commissar Wang."

The voice coming from the microphone of the walkie-talkie was so loud that several soldiers on guard at the MN gate heard it. The soldiers of the reconnaissance battalion deliberately gave a thumbs up in front of the head of the 49th regiment: "Look at you, This is the chief, he is more open-minded and tolerant, unlike some cadres who get angry when they encounter something."

Who is speaking on the walkie-talkie?The division commander of the [-]th Division is also the brigade commander of the Teaching Brigade of the Old Sixth Column of the Northwest Field Army, an old friend of Li Yong, and an old comrade-in-arms who lived and died together outside Baoji City, Chen Haihan, Mr. Chen.

It was already noon when Master Chen Haihan dragged the entire [-]th Division into the city. Li Yong and Wang Chengde invited Master Chen Haihan to the brigade headquarters of the Independent Brigade, n-ng prepared meals and prepared some wine.

Master Chen Haihan was still the same, and he gave Li Yong a fist when they met: "I said Dayong, you have a good nose, you can smell it, tell me, what are you fishing for in the independent brigade?" Something? Did you leave us a mouthful of soup?"

Li Yong's face is thick enough, but Chen Haihan said that he couldn't hold back: "Old Chen, there is one advantage. We caught a tank regiment, so don't call it, it's just called the tank regiment in name, in fact There is only one tank battalion left, and they are all old property. The two main tank battalions were transferred by Jiang Weiguo and Jiang Ergong to the Li Yannian Corps on the Huaihai battlefield. In fact, we only brought back some junk, and we didn’t move anything except this tank regiment. I don’t know what else there is in Xi’an, and how much you can n-ng from the Sixteenth Division counts as your own.”

Master Chen Haihan grinned: "What's wrong? Don't you think it's bad? A tank battalion is enough. If you think it's bad, send it to me. Our [-]th Division is poor, and we don't think anything is bad. "

Li Yong knew that Mr. Chen Haihan was joking with him on purpose: "I said Lao Chen, you just pull it down, why are you poor people, I know you have been lucky recently, and you also know that we haven't played for several months It was a good battle, and I went around in circles with Ma Jiajun, and if I don’t get something back, I’m sure I won’t be able to solve the problem.”

Master Chen Haihan: "Okay, okay, you boy, don't cry with me, I don't care what your independent brigade wants, first introduce to me the defense of Xi'an, the order of the field army is to let our Sixth Army attack Xi'an, and succeed The final defense will also be taken over by us, although it is said that you have entered the city, but we still have to do the work."

Li Yong: "Thank God, Old Chen, you saved me. Our independent brigade has not finished a lot of work on our hands. Seeing these 1u-n messy things in and out of the city My head hurts. To tell you the truth, our brigade captured more than 57 prisoners when we fought against the 1000th Army near Xianyang. The 2o3 Division of the Youth Army in Yishui were all good soldiers, plus the one caught yesterday There are still more than 900 people in the tank regiment, and when put together, there are more than 2000 people. It’s not easy to educate, I think most of the time has been spent recently to reform the minds of these captives, if they don’t change their minds, they won’t be of one mind with us.”

Brigadier Chen Haihan downed a glass of wine in one gulp: "Dayong, you are well said, and you are very thoughtful. This is indeed a problem, but you don't have to worry. There is no mountain that our PLA's ideological weapons can't take down." , We have a lot of good political cadres in the Sixteenth Division, if you are too busy, please call me, and I will send some people to support you."

After handing over all the defense of Xi'an to the [-]th Division, Li Yong devoted all his energy to the transformation and education of the captives. Time waits for no one in the war years. Don't look at taking Xi'an today, maybe it will happen in a few days There are bigger tasks waiting for them.

Taking advantage of the rare rest time in the past few days, the independent brigade ran at full capacity and focused their work on educating the captives after training. Li Yong also took the time to explain the situation to the captives, which roughly meant that the whole country Liberation is about to happen. The Kuomintang is a grasshopper after autumn. It won’t last a few days. If you are willing to join the army, we will work together. If you succeed in the revolution, you will be a hero. If you don’t want to go home, you will pay the travel expenses. According to the veterans of the People’s Liberation Army As a rule, two oceans per person.

Finally, Li Yong explained to these captives that the KMT's army has grown from more than 800 million in the early days of the Liberation War to less than 100 million today, and this army of less than 100 million only exists in the Northwest, Southwest and Guangxi. At present, the total strength of our People's Liberation Army is close to 500 million. The Second Field Army under the command of Liu Dengchang is sweeping across the Southwest. The Fourth Field Army is encircling the Bai Chongxi Department in Guangxi. By the 19th and [-]th, the two large corps are rushing forward, and they will arrive in a few days. At that time, the balance of power in the entire Northwest will have a subversive change. As long as the power of a few groups of the Kuomintang is eaten up, The problems on the battlefield in China have basically been solved, and the liberation of the whole country is not far away. Therefore, it is both honorable and lucky for you to choose to join the ranks of the People's Liberation Army at this time.

Li Yong didn't talk nonsense to fool these surrenderers. By the middle of 500, the People's Liberation Army had basically achieved the goals set by Chairman Mo and the Central Military Commission: "The army moves forward, the production grows an inch, and discipline is strengthened x-ng,* * Invincible, wipe out [-] enemy brigades, and build an army of [-] million".

The general principle that Brigadier Li Da told the prisoners is still very useful. Many officers and soldiers of the Youth Army and the Second Chariot Regiment are educated people who have studied, and they understand the battlefield situation faster than ordinary soldiers. Li Yong's analysis also agrees very much. It is indeed lucky to join the troops of the People's Liberation Army when the whole country is about to be liberated.

As long as they think this way, Li Yong's goal will be achieved. Don't look at these people who are not convinced yet, but after a period of reformation, they don't believe that education is not good. I think Li Jia was stubborn enough at the beginning, and now he is not the same as our People's Liberation Army A soldier, or a loyal soldier.

On May 22, a brigade of the Sixth Army of Yiye came in. Along with the brigade of the Sixth Army, there were many senior officers of the Northwest Bureau of the Communist Party of China, including the old leader of Yiye, the founder of the People's Liberation Army. One of them, Boss He Longhe.

On May 24, the Xi'an Military Control Commission was established, Mr. He served as the director of the Military Commission, and Jia Tuofu, Zhao Shoushan, and Gan Siqi served as the deputy directors.

On May 25th, the Xi'an Municipal People's Government and the Garrison Command were established, with Jia Tuofu as the mayor and Zhang Jingwu as the garrison commander (another well-known figure in military history, we will introduce it later)

Boss He heard the story of the Independent Brigade and the [-]th Division not long after he entered the city. Boss He, with a pipe in his mouth, asked people to call the small brigade commander and political commissar of the Independent Brigade, saying that he wanted to see what it was People dare not to be different from the troops of Luo Yuanluo (the commander of the Sixth Army and the founding lieutenant general).

Li Yong and Wang Chengde were at a loss when they received the notice. Boss He knew about such a trivial matter?Li Yong really wanted to see the legendary Boss He, but he was afraid that he would be cleaned up after seeing him, so he was in a bit of a turbulent mood.

Brigadier Li Da, who has traveled through time, is like this, and Wang Chengde is even more uneasy. This guy keeps asking Li Yong: "Dayong, what does Boss He want to see us for? Didn't we violate any discipline? There are people in the 49th regiment." Have you filed a complaint with Boss He?"

This is the first time Li Yong has seen Wang Chengde so nervous. This guy usually looks like a political commissar, serious, and he doesn't know if he is pretending or just natural.

Brigadier Li replied calmly: "Old Wang, what's the matter with you? If you want to see us, there is nothing wrong with it. If you file a complaint, you can file a complaint. Didn't we just rob some tanks and bombs and have prisoners? Send it to the Kuomintang, and at worst, you will be criticized, if it’s really not possible, why don’t we stay in confinement together?”

Ugly daughter-in-law f-I always have to see my parents-in-law, I have to see them when I am nervous, and I have to see them even if I am afraid of being criticized. This morning, Li Yong and Wang Chengde still met the boss He Longhe who was waiting for them. Boss He had just been appointed by the central government as the military control of Xi'an The chairman of the committee is too busy with a lot of things, people who want to see him can line up, it is indeed a bit strange to be able to spare time to meet Li Yong and Wang Chengde.

At that time, Boss He was just in his early fifties (boss He was born in [-]), his face was flushed and he was full of energy, and he kept looking back and forth around Li Yong and Wang Chengde.
