The beacon of youth

Chapter 424

At the party committee meeting of the Independent Brigade, political commissar Wang Chengde announced a new appointment and dismissal order. Li Yuming, the former commander of the guard company, will be the instructor of the newly established tank battalion. He Cuihua, the deputy battalion commander, was appointed as the trainer of the supply battalion, and concurrently served as the deputy battalion commander in charge of operations.

The appointment and dismissal orders announced by Wang Chengde can be said to be reasonable, and they have fully considered their respective working abilities. They were made after careful consideration and were unanimously agreed and approved by all the party committee members of the Independent Brigade. However, there is also an anomaly in it. .

He Cuihua, the deputy battalion commander of the supply camp, is not interested in being promoted as an instructor. This girl thinks that the instructor has to do a lot of ideological work for the soldiers, and mothers-in-law and mothers have a lot of things to do. Such work is too worrying and troublesome, so he would rather The deputy battalion commander didn't want to be such an instructor. She also made a suggestion at the party committee, let Li Jia come to the baggage camp as an instructor, and she went to the brigade headquarters to be the company commander of the guard company. become.

He Cuihua's suggestion made Li Yong and Wang Chengde a little dumbfounded, and also made all the members who came to the meeting burst into laughter. Li Jiangguo, the first battalion commander, and Gao Xiang, the battalion commander of the artillery battalion, made a bit of a fuss, saying that they supported He Cuihua as the company commander of the guard company. .

In the end, the political commissar Wang Chengde glared at Li Jiangguo and Gao Xiang who were booing, patted the table to calm everyone down, and rarely said to He Cuihua with a straight face: "The appointment of the party committee of the brigade is made after fully considering the individual's ability. What came out was a collective opinion, not a random one. With your He Cuihua's ability, it's okay to be the company commander of the guard company, and you should be able to do it very well. But think about it, Li Jia can work as an instructor in the supply camp Is it okay? Besides, the promotion of cadres has to be done step by step. How can anyone be promoted to battalion-level cadres from the platoon leader all at once? Your proposal is pure nonsense."

He Cuihua stopped talking for a while, and sat beside Hu Xiaolian, muttering: "Just do it, no one wants to be promoted."

Hu Xiaolian squeezed He Cuihua's hand quietly, telling her to stop making trouble, and she should really be criticized by the political commissar if she kept talking nonsense.

He Cuihua really has no intention of becoming an official. Only Hu Xiaolian or Li Jia, who are also women, can more or less guess her careful thinking. The company commander of the guard company is not only able to fight, but also often spends time with the brigade commander Li Yong. Together, this is He Cuihua's real goal. How can a 21-year-old girl not want to be with her man.

After reorganization, the independent brigade has ten battalion-level combat units. After adding a large number of new liberation fighters, each battalion has more than 1000 people, and the largest number of personnel is the logistics battalion. It has more than 2000 people, which is enough to be the size of an ordinary army regiment. Including the team directly under the brigade headquarters, the total strength of the independent brigade is more than 1000, and the logistics supplies are sufficient, and the weapons and equipment are excellent.

As the largest battalion-level unit in the entire brigade, the supply battalion has been affirmed by all cadres and soldiers. The role of logistics in the war has been more and more recognized by everyone, especially the newly added tank battalion. As for other materials, the large iron barrels for fuel alone are piled up like a hill. Units like this cannot explode their combat effectiveness without strong logistical support.

The strength of the independent brigade that has been integrated again is obvious to all. Even ordinary soldiers think that such a unit is too good. They can't think of any other troops of the same level as their opponents on the Northwest battlefield that can withstand the independent brigade. blow.

This is a team full of soldiers and horses, eager to try. Li Yong and Wang Chengde led the troops to train and educate the troops non-stop, so that the newly formed troops can burst out with strong combat effectiveness as soon as possible. In the Northwest, there are More and bigger battles await them.

Xi'an was lost, Hu Zongnan had trouble sleeping and eating, he couldn't eat well and sleep well, thanks to the ingenuity of the young wife Ye Xiadi, she adjusted Hu Zongnan's diet in different ways, and tried her best to make General Hu happy. Only then did Hu Zongnan cheer up from his gloom.

As the old saying goes, women are made of water, and men are made of mud. No matter how strong this man is, as long as he meets a suitable woman, he will be melted away, and finally he will collapse on the woman like a puddle of mud. This is the reason for the so-called "Hundred Practice Steel Flowers" to make fingers soft. For Hu Zongnan, the young and beautiful Mrs. Ye is such a woman.

Seeing his wife walking around like a butterfly, Hu Zongnan, who is over fifty, sometimes thinks of his younger brother and old friend, who is also the old matchmaker between himself and Ye Xiadi, Huangpu Liu. Dai Li, his junior schoolmate.

By the middle of [-], the former boss of the military command had been in a plane crash for several years, and his bones had long since been buried in the ground. Ye Xiadi should also put all his energy on himself, the corrupt general.

There is a reason for Hu Zongnan to think this way. When he saw Ye Xiadi in Dai Li's mansion for the first time, he was so shocked that he didn't even notice when he was talking to him. That's why Dai Li, a believer friend, The guy who was like siblings and whose woman was like clothes ruthlessly set up a bridge between himself and Ye Xiadi, and gave him the flower of military command, or gave it to him.

Hu Zongnan is not a fool, on the contrary he is very smart. There are not many first-year students in the Whampoa Military Academy, otherwise he would not dare to say that there is He Zhonghan in Wen and Hu Zongnan in Wu.

I think back when Dai Li, a primary school boy and a good friend, introduced Ye Xiadi to him, this filthy general also hesitated for a moment. Doesn’t the so-called gentleman win people’s love? This military commander’s flower is fine in Dai’s mansion. What does it mean to stay? Anyone with a discerning eye can tell at a glance that he must have an unusual relationship with Boss Dai, but in the end this slight hesitation was dispelled by Ye Xiadi's beauty and intelligence.

As a senior official in the Kuomintang army, Hu Zongnan still has some understanding of the harsh training of the military command. It is difficult to join the military command, and it is even more difficult to get out after entering the military command. It is said that the first pass for female military command members is very surprising. The female spies can't be virgins, and if they are virgins, they have to find ways to become non-virgins. As for how to think about it, it varies from person to person.

It is also puzzling why such a regulation was made. Some people say that this is to let the female spies pass the psychological barrier, and they can do whatever they can in the process of carrying out the mission in the future. To put it bluntly, the female military spies can sacrifice their lives to complete the mission. .

It's unrealistic to say that Commander Hu has no grudges about some things, but Hu Zongnan really concealed his feelings very well, he has matured, and although Ye Xiadi, the flower of the military command, is also very shrewd, compared to Hu Zongnan, he is still young A little bit.

Regarding Hu Zongnan's mood during this period, Ye Xiadi described it in his memoirs. Ye Xiadi said: This is a turning point in his life, a turning point from a peak to a trough.

Hu Zongnan lost Xi'an, although he was very sad, but he was able to get through it, because he lost Xi'an voluntarily. According to the Communists, that is called giving up. Hu Zongnan still has a large group of elite forces of the Kuomintang army that have not been lost. .

But Hu Zongnan's willingness made someone nervous, who is it?The two guys who got nervous were Ma Bufang and Ma Hongkui from the Northwest.

The Guanzhong area is the gateway to Qinghai, Gansu, and Ningxia. When Hu Zongnan ran away, not only the gateways of Qinghai, Gansu, and Ningxia were opened, but even the Xilan Highway was exposed under the iron feet of the PLA. Stride westward along the Xilan Highway, and it won't take long to reach the city of Lanzhou. At that time, not only Lanzhou will not be guaranteed, but even Qinghai and Ningxia will be in the hands of the Japanese. But what to do, what to do.

At this moment, Ma Bufang and Ma Hongkui are still fighting for power. Among the Sanma families in the Northwest, Ma Hongbin from Gansu is the weakest, and he has no hatred for the Communists. On the contrary, he expressed sympathy for the Communists in the early days. Not only did he have no hatred for the PLA, but on the contrary, he still had a little bit of expectation. At this time, he had already withdrawn from the competition with Ma Bufang and Ma Hongkui.

For many years, Chiang Kai-shek's national government has used and guarded against the Northwest Erma at the same time. It uses the power of the Erma to rule the Northwest, but also guards against their excessive power and affects the government's ability. This is where the contradiction lies.

In order to prevent them from becoming too powerful, the two key positions of military and political chief of the Northwest and chairman of the Gansu Provincial Government have never let the two horses get involved.

Later, the People's Liberation Army broke through the Kuomintang's Yangtze River defense line in one fell swoop. In order to use the Erma military group that had not been severely hit, Chiang Kai-shek could not be too scrupled. The chairman of the Gansu government, but the condition is that the two horses must send troops to Longnan to reinforce Hu Zongnan and fight the People's Liberation Army.

This was originally a picture cake thrown by the Kuomintang government in order to use the troops of the two horses, but Ma Bufang and Ma Hongkui also competed endlessly for this picture cake.

The government of the Kuomintang is already crumbling, but a picture that everyone can see can still fight with them. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are local warlords. It can't be a big climate either.

At this time, Ma Hongkui of Ningxia's plan was to let Ma Bufang be the military and political chief of the Northwest, and himself the chairman of the Gansu Provincial Government. His son Ma Dunjing, once the territory of Gansu and Ningxia is connected, the power of himself, Ningma, will become even greater.

Ma Hongkui's small calculations are crackling, but Ma Bufang is not a fuel-efficient lamp. This guy has even greater ambitions. Not only does he want to be the military and political chief of the Northwest, but he also wants his son Ma Jiyuan to be the chairman of the government of Gansu. It can take Ma Hongkui who is always by his side and stares at him empty-handed, so that this old guy can't even catch a hair.

Thank you for your tickets. The old bus just wants to ask you for a free recommendation ticket. I dare not ask for a monthly ticket. It’s because I didn’t write it clearly yesterday. I’m sorry.
