The beacon of youth

Chapter 423

Li Yong and Wang Chengde saw the legendary Boss He nervously. Boss He's scrutiny made the two bold chief officers of the Independent Brigade lose their temper at this moment. I dare not say anything.

After being scrutinized for several minutes, Boss He, with a mustache and a pipe in his mouth, suddenly burst into laughter: "Aren't they just two young men in their 20s, and they don't have superpowers? How did they get rumored?" So the scorpion?"

It has to be said that Li Yong is a clever boy with a good head and a bit of ability to read words and expressions. After a while, he finally came back to his senses, and seeing that Boss He didn't seem angry, he quickly asked in a low voice: "Chief, we didn't do anything wrong. mistake?"

Boss He smiled at the corners of his eyes and eyebrows, took the pipe out of his mouth and said with a smile: "Bullshit mistake, what kind of mistake can you call this thing, not only did you not make a mistake, I think you did a good job, you should be praised , What is the Second Army, the Sixth Army, after all, they are not all from our People's Liberation Army. What's wrong with entering the city early? Entering the city early shows that your independent brigade's tactics are against you. Didn't you come early to block the enemy? This Kuomintang The tank regiment may have run away, so why not talk about yours and mine, hmph, in the future, who will say that you made a mistake and let him come to me, and I, He Long, will argue with him."

Li Yong and Wang Chengde stared wide-eyed. They didn't expect Boss He to be so easy-going. Not only did he not criticize them, but he even praised them for their independent travel in obedient words. This was really unexpected for the two of them.

The two commanders of the independent brigade looked at each other and heaved a sigh of relief. They were all ready to squat in confinement. Now, looking at Boss He's intentions, they didn't mean to criticize at all. The confinement definitely doesn't need to squat, okay , is a great thing.

It is not surprising that Boss He said this, and it is true. If the Sixth Army were to attack Xi'an and the Second Army to attack Xianyang according to the principles set by the Field Army before the battle, everything would be done step by step. Jiang Tiexiong, the Second Chariot Regiment, would definitely He ran away, so what about the capture.

The People's Liberation Army's consistent policy in wars is to fight whoever benefits, there is no distinction between primary and secondary, and the priority is to obtain the greatest benefit. From this point of view, the Independent Brigade has indeed done nothing wrong.

The predecessor of the First Field Army was the Northwest Field Army. The predecessor of the Northwest Field Army was the [-]th Division during the Anti-Japanese War. The predecessor of the [-]th Division was the Red Second Front Army that arrived in northern Shaanxi on the Long March. , and the commander-in-chief of the Red Second and Sixth Army Corps is Boss He Longhe.

In the Northwest Field Army, most of the veterans of the Second Red Army and the Sixth Army are in the First Army and the Second Army (there is also the 47th Army far in the northeast, which has nothing to do with this book, but I will introduce it more). For the troops that came out, it can be said that every rifle, every bullet and every grenade embodies the hard work of the Marshal of the Republic.

If in the Kuomintang army, such a unit is the so-called starting-up and old-fashioned unit. It is the trump card that some military and political officials hold in their hands. There is no way for him to be the acting president of the national government. (Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi are iconic figures of the Guangxi family)

This is not the case in the troops of the People's Liberation Army. No matter who's troops belong to the party's troops, they are not private property. All can be transferred away with a single order from the superior. This is the difference.

But no matter what, Boss He still has a lot of affection for this army, and has always been very concerned about the development and growth of this army. He is very happy with their progress even a little bit, so it hasn't been long since they just entered the city. Boss He at the time was also very interested after hearing about the Independent Brigade and the Sixth Army, and he was more or less protective.

This time, Li Yong and Wang Chengde were completely relieved. Whether they met Commander Luo Yuanfa and other leaders of the Sixth Army in the future, they would have an explanation, why?Even Boss He said that we did the right thing, so it must be right.

Boss He asked the two of them carefully about the personnel and cadre composition of the Second Army, as well as the development of the army. The old man of the Second Army, Boss He, was basically familiar with them. He was the soldier brought out by himself, so how could he not have any worries? Some of them were little red ghosts who had been with Boss He for more than ten years. Regardless of the relationship between superiors and subordinates, they were all fatal friendships. Although Boss He handed over the troops, he still cared very much.

In addition to asking the old men of the Second Army, Boss He was also very curious about the new army of the Independent Brigade, and carefully inquired about the formation and personnel composition of the army. Boss He said humorously: "Oh, our Second Army is very powerful. Isn't it amazing, besides three divisions, one guy also has an independent brigade, isn't it the most powerful unit in the field army?"

Wang Chengde replied with a little embarrassment: "We dare not say that our Second Army has the strongest combat effectiveness, but it must have the most personnel, hehehehe."

In front of Boss He, Wang Chengde seldom showed a slightly smug expression, which also has something to do with Boss He being the old chief of the army, otherwise Wang Chengde would not be able to tell that he was proud.

Li Yong told Boss He what he thought in his heart and what he wanted to achieve. Finally, Li Yong introduced to Boss He: "Abolishing the company and regiment organization in the army is a new and bold attempt. The change of level-[-] management into level-[-] management can improve the response speed of the troops. However, the independent brigade has not been formed for a long time. It used to be a battalion-level force to participate in battles. The specific changes are yet to be announced. It will be tested in further actual combat."

Boss He started fighting with two kitchen knives and has been fighting non-stop for decades. He has experienced countless battles, large and small, and has a strong interest in improving the combat effectiveness of the troops. What Li Yong said made He The boss fell into deep thought, and finally the boss said: "Do it well, Boss Peng and I, and Wang Huzi all support you. Remember one sentence, no matter what you do, as long as it is beneficial to our army, it is right. You are still very young. , let’s let go of our hands and feet to break into a new world, we have what others have, and we also have what others don’t have, and I will listen to your good news from behind.”

After returning from Boss He, Li Yong and Wang Chengde were very excited. A little bit of worry has long since disappeared. The troops have devoted themselves to training. If there is any dissatisfaction, in fact, Li Yong and Wang Chengde are a little worried. Commander Luo is a great commander, and he has a big picture when looking at the problem. It really plugged the loopholes for the Sixth Army.

The Independent Brigade didn't stay in the big city of Xi'an for a long time before pulling it out again. Xi'an is very good, but it's not a place to stay for a long time. As the main combat force of Yiye, there are still bigger tasks waiting for them .

The troops of the People's Liberation Army are different from the Kuomintang. After occupying a city, they don't tie up all the troops here, but only leave a small amount of security forces. The vast majority of combat troops have to perform tasks. This is also in line with the consistent policy of the People's Liberation Army. Do not fight for the gains and losses of a city or a place, but aim to destroy the enemy's vital forces.

More than ten days passed in the blink of an eye, and the independent brigade, which had made a fortune, expanded the size of its troops again. On the basis of the original nine battalions, a tenth battalion was added, which was the newly captured tank battalion.

On the basis of the former KMT Tank Regiment plus the two platoons of eight Stuarts originally owned by the Independent Brigade, there are a total of forty or so tanks of various models and fifty or so modified armored vehicles. The automobile formed the first battalion-level armored combat unit of the Independent Brigade, and it was also the first battalion-level armored unit of Yiye. After adding some backbone and political workers, the number of this tank battalion also exceeded 1000. Since then, the Independent Brigade Another combat unit with strong combat effectiveness has been added.

Under the discussion of the Party Committee of the Independent Brigade, Jiang Tiexiong, the former head of the [-]nd KMT Chariot Regiment, was appointed as the battalion commander, because Jiang Tiexiong is indeed a very good armored unit despite being a Kuomintang officer who just surrendered. The commander has solid professional knowledge, which is unmatched by anyone in the entire independent brigade.

After making this decision, Li Yong also talked to Jiang Tiexiong alone, asking him what he thought about the appointment. Anyway, the position of the PLA is smaller than before, and the former head of Jiang Tiexiong has to say whatever he thinks. , it doesn't matter if you are unhappy.

Jiang Tiexiong replied very simply, how dare a defeated general dare to speak bravely. It is already a great trust and honor for the People's Liberation Army to let him be the battalion commander. What else can he be dissatisfied with? I understand that this independent brigade of the People's Liberation Army is different from other troops. There are no regiment-level troops below the brigade. In addition, his newly established tank battalion is a combat unit of exactly ten battalions. The personnel and firepower configuration of the battalion are refreshing. It seems that this awesome unit will definitely have greater development in the future.

In order to allow this unit to integrate into the big family of the People's Liberation Army more quickly, Li Yong and Wang Chengde sent a large number of political workers to the tank battalion. The battalion served as a political instructor.

Li Yuming is good at fighting and doing work. It is a bit wronged to let him be the company commander of this guard company. It is perfect to be an instructor in the tank battalion. At the party committee of the brigade, Wang Chengde, the political commissar, told him to adapt as soon as possible. In his new role, enter the state as quickly as possible, and turn the tank battalion into an invincible assault force.

If it feels okay, I will give the old bus some recommended tickets, thank you.
