The beacon of youth

Chapter 490 The Crazy Hu Xiaolian in the Battle of Lanzhou

The independent brigade's deterrent attack on Wushan County scared the head of the Turtle Security Corps out of his wits, and accused the soldiers who reported the news of intentionally scaring him. The local security regiment did not have such and such rules as regular troops, so the soldier spoke more casually: "Head, if you don't believe me, go over and take a look, you will understand at a glance. Tofu novels have no pop-up window"

"What the fuck, the communist army only gave us half an hour. After a while, my life will be gone. Hurry up and call the troops to assemble, then run out of the city and surrender to the PLA. Do you hear me? Go right away Send the order—go out of town and surrender."

The head of the regiment muttered as he walked out: "What the hell, even Ma Bufang and Hu Zongnan ran away, and they resisted. I will hang out with the People's Liberation Army from now on."

A white flag protruded from the city wall and kept shaking. Several soldiers lay down together and shouted: "Commander of the People's Liberation Army, stop fighting. We surrender, we surrender."

After a short time, a group of people ran out from the crooked city gate that was bombed. This group of people wisely put their weapons on one side and lined up in several rows to wait for the People's Liberation Army to come over. containment.

Li Yong and Wang Chengde, who had been observing with binoculars in the distance, laughed a few times. Without saying anything, this Wushan county was once again crushed by the deterrent attack of the independent brigade. So far, the problem of Wushan has been completely solved. Li Yong took the walkie-talkie and shouted: "Order the vanguard battalion, keep an eye on the prisoners, the main force of the brigade will enter the city immediately, we will have lunch in the city today, Li Jia, send a report to the commander, saying that our troops have already occupied the city." In Wushan County, more than [-] people from a security regiment were wiped out, and the capture is being counted."

There are many reasons why the Independent Brigade was able to successfully force the Kuomintang security corps in Wushan County to surrender. The Northwest Field Army’s overwhelming force and the disparity in strength between the two armies was one reason. Everyone knows that as long as you put down your weapons and surrender your guns, the People's Liberation Army will definitely not kill the prisoners. That's why these security groups handed over their weapons with confidence.

The aroma of the big steamed buns just out of the cage, coupled with the broth boiled in a large iron pot in the open air, makes people salivate when they smell it. The soldiers gathered together laughing and eating, and said while eating, "Look, thanks The Fourteenth Brigade of the Qingma Army, otherwise how could we eat such delicious horse meat."

The words of Li Yong, the brigade commander, were really fulfilled. The lunch of the independent brigade was eaten in Wushan County. This is the confidence of the troops.

Under the orders of the brigade commander and the political commissar, the cooking squads of each battalion and company tried their best to prepare food for the soldiers. According to Li Yong's words, food is a way to improve the morale of the troops, and Improving morale is directly related to combat effectiveness, so although the work of the cooking team is not very eye-catching, it is also an indispensable and important department of the army.

After lunch, the Independent Brigade camped in Wushan County. All troops sent personnel to the homes of ordinary people. It is not a small matter for the Independent Brigade with more than 1 people to live completely. The soldiers felt strange when they moved out so quickly, but stopped. In the past, the independent brigade always set off immediately after successfully attacking one place, and attacked the next enemy at lightning speed. What happened today?

In fact, it is not difficult to understand that the independent brigade has been fighting continuously for a long time. Although the casualties of the whole brigade are not large, the endless fighting life has also made the spirits of the commanders and fighters tense. There was no complete relaxation, and the time for rest was pitiful. After discussing with the political commissar Wang Chengde, brigade commander Li Yong wanted to use this rare period of time for the soldiers to rest and recuperate, at least to let the soldiers get enough sleep.

The so-called period of time was nothing more than a day or two, and it was because the Independent Brigade had super mobility to squeeze out the orders from the superiors.

This also has something to do with the brigade commander Li Yong. According to the arrangement of the superiors, after the attack on Wushan, the independent brigade should attack the next target, Longxi County, at full speed, and use the rest to maintain law and order, appease the common people, establish a local government, etc. The follow-up work is handed over to the large troops or local militia behind, but who is Li Yong?Li Yong's biggest advantage is that he knows some major historical trends before others, which is a great advantage.

Li Yong is very clear in his mind that the next target of the Northwest Field Army is Ma Bufang in Lanzhou. This battle is an inevitable tough one. All the chiefs have also made up their minds to use the Battle of Lanzhou to completely eliminate the Qingma Army of the Northwest Bandits and cut off this cancer. Under this general environment, the tasks of the Independent Brigade may change at any time. Therefore, Li Yong asked the troops to seize the opportunity to rest , Raise enough energy to prepare for another battle, it can be regarded as a sneak in.

The order issued by the Independent Brigade to each battalion and company is to camp in Wushan today and to set off early in the morning, which will give the troops a night and half a day to rest. For us, it has been a long-awaited luxury.

The entire Wushan County is filled with various troops of the People's Liberation Army. The common people are not afraid of the soldiers of the Independent Brigade. On the contrary, they look forward to it. After being ruled by the local government of the Kuomintang for a long time, the poor people all want to kill the people. And PLA brings them a change or a whole new life.

The people in the Independent Brigade are very wealthy, much richer than other PLA units. Most of the cadres and soldiers have a certain amount of savings in their hands, and they don’t even have the opportunity to spend this money. Today, the relaxed commanders and fighters are In Wushan County, groups of three and four filled the street, and the generous sales made the merchants who opened their doors smile. Although this street is not so simple in the cognition of later generations of Li Yong, it is still a street anyway.

The soldiers of the Independent Brigade brought constant surprises to the local people. Everyone knew that the Eighth Route Army was poor, and was called the Eighth Route Army by the Central Army and the little devils. After eating a full meal, I recite Amitabha Buddha, but the group of eight people who came here today are really different. When buying things and paying for things, they basically use ocean money, which is ocean money, so there are three to five yuan. Enough for a family to live for a month.

The county town is boiling, especially those businessmen who are doing business. They are running around telling each other to tell each other, and quickly open the door to do business. Didn’t you see that the eight roads are coming? It’s a fool to have money and not make money.

A war has a huge impact on the economy of a place. After a battle, all businesses can be depressed, and the lives of ordinary people cannot be guaranteed. Who has the heart to do business, but all this has changed because of the independent brigade. Stimulated by the strong purchasing power, Wushan County's economy miraculously recovered, and the county town calmed down.

Li Yong didn't expect that soldiers with money in their pockets would have such an effect. After thinking about it carefully, Wushan is a small place. Under the influence of years of war, the local purchasing power is very low. The arrival of the independent brigade is indeed Let the local economy pick up.

It had been a long time since I went to see Hu Xiaolian. After lunch, Brigadier Li took a few people out of the gate of the brigade headquarters, wandered to the station of the health team, and took this opportunity to see the wounded.

The health team of the Independent Brigade is no longer the petty family it used to be. The current health team not only has professional doctors and nurses, but also has a large reserve of medicines and equipment, which was very valuable to the troops at that time. In the era when anti-inflammatory drugs and an aspirin could save a life, the health team of the Independent Brigade, like Li Yong himself, was already a miraculous existence.

The captain of the health team, Hu Xiaolian, has been participating in the event in a mood of joy and sorrow recently. What makes her happy is that the army has been winning battles all the time, and the situation is getting better and better, so good that her little daughter-in-law, who didn't know anything before, can also see it. The KMT is indeed doomed, and what is worrying is that Li Yong's visits to her are getting less and less. In private, Hu Xiaolian sometimes asks herself, is there any reason?Is it because Dayong is too busy with work, or because there is a beautiful woman Li Jia by his side that he has forgotten himself.

I have to say that Li Jia is indeed a very attractive woman, with a delicate mind, cultured and beautiful, such a woman will be liked by that man's side, this Li Jia is not as straight-tempered as He Cuihua, but She hides her thoughts in her heart, relying on a woman's intuition, Hu Xiaolian knows that Li Jia also likes Dayong, but she can't express it directly like He Cuihua.

While thinking wildly, a soldier came and reported that the brigade commander had brought several people. Hu Xiaolian, who was two years older than Li Yong, was an old man when the independent brigade health team was established, so he was very respected in the health team. The giggling Li Yong walked in all the way, regardless of whether there was anyone in front of him, and shouted loudly: "Honey, how is the situation? Does your health team have anything to solve?"

It was natural for Li Yong to call his wife. At first Hu Xiaolian pretended to object, but later she acquiesced under the tenacious offensive of Brigadier Li Da.

Pulled by several old soldiers, the people in the room walked out with interest. The brigade commander wanted to talk to his wife about life and ideals. No one wanted to be the light bulb.

Hu Xiaolian is an absolute old man in the independent brigade. More than two years of military experience and experience as a health captain have also allowed this little daughter-in-law in the valley to hone the unique temperament of a soldier. It is an indescribable kind, and Li Yong likes it very much. Temperament, but when there is no one or only with Li Yong, the watery Hu Xiaolian turns back to the little girl she was before.
