The beacon of youth

At the headquarters of the Northwest Field Army, the old general who received the telegram said to the leaders in the room: "The situation has been clarified. A regiment of the Second Column formed a new special agent company a few months ago. They acted together, but trained alone. Now even their regiment leader doesn't know why the twenty or so people turned into more than 400 people in a few months, and they also appeared in the Qingyang area. I heard that they killed two enemies Regiment, their leader is also confused."

A leader said: "Boss, even if this small army is very powerful, can they wipe out two cavalry regiments with a few hundred people? At least one main brigade can do this kind of battle, let alone their regiment commanders. I also don't believe it, is there something else going on here?"

Another leader said: "Who else could it be if they weren't? Besides them, our field army doesn't have any troops there anymore."

The old general thought for a while and said: "It doesn't matter who it is, anyway, it's a good thing. We are worrying about how to deal with these cavalry. With them, don't we save a lot of worry? Immediately ask the headquarters reconnaissance company to send a few more cavalry scouts In the Qingyang area, if this small army really did it, tell them to be more careful, the enemy is not willing to suffer, let them be more careful, ask a few more questions about everything, don't fight the enemy head-on, if it doesn't work, just do it. Get closer to the main force."

At the base of the spy company, Li Yong said to Li Jiangguo and Ma Quanyou, the upcoming squad commanders: "The enemy in Qingyang City will definitely be eager to find us, so we will serve according to the enemy's appetite. You two must learn to touch the enemy. Temper, if you expose your temper on purpose, the enemy will definitely follow and chase you. Of course, whether you complete this mission well or not depends on how smart you are. It is best to capture a few prisoners and let them escape on purpose, but this can only be done Enough is not too much, too much is easy to be seen through by the enemy, as the saying goes, you can't be honest with the enemy anyway."

Li Jiangguo: "Don't worry, Company Commander, I've been with you for so long, and I've grown my mind a lot. We won't do anything that hurts us."

Ma Quanyou at the side said: "Your boy is not with the company commander, you have a lot of thoughts."

The soldiers nearby all laughed, and the instructor Wang Chengde took out the binoculars that Li Yong had given to Li Jiangguo and Ma Quanyou and said, "Take this binoculars for you two, maybe it will be useful, and the company commander and I will wait for you to come back. "

After Li Jiangguo and Ma Quanyou saluted Li Yong and Wang Chengde, they took the soldiers out. Li Yong, who returned to the company, asked Li Yuming to call Zhang Jinsong, the reconnaissance platoon leader. Looking at Zhang Jinsong who ran over, Li Yong said: Put it farther away, and ensure that the sentinels are in contact with each other, and the combination of clear and dark sentries, the enemy must be desperately looking for us, and if they encounter suspicious persons, they will be captured."

Another two days passed. This morning, the soldiers of the reconnaissance platoon reported that they had captured two spies. Li Yong asked them to bring the captured people to the company headquarters. After a while, Zhang Jinsong and the soldiers of the reconnaissance platoon brought two The people who were tied up went to the company headquarters.

As soon as he entered the company headquarters, Zhang Jinsong shouted loudly: "Company commander, instructor, these two guys must be the enemy's spies, don't think they are wearing ordinary clothes, I found a shell gun from each of them. "

Li Yong didn't say anything but just looked at these two people seriously, and saw that these two people were not nervous at all, they were also looking at them, and looked curiously at the gray military uniforms on Li Yong and others.

Hearing Zhang Jinsong call the company commander and the instructor, the expressions on the faces of these two people became more relaxed, because these two people knew very well that only the army of the Communist Party has instructors, well, it seems that they found the right place.

Before Li Yong, Wang Chengde and others could ask questions, these two people spoke first, and one of them asked, "Which of you are Li Yong and Wang Chengde?"

Hearing this person's question, including Zhang Jinsong, who arrested them, was stunned. How did they know the names of our company commander and instructor?Seeing that everyone was silent, the two asked again: "Who are you, Li Yong and Wang Chengde?"

Li Yong saw that since everyone knew about it, don't hide it: "I am Li Yong, who are you?"

One of the two captured said: "Commander Li, we are scouts from the headquarters of the Field Army. We were ordered to look for you in this area. It was really not easy and we finally found you. By the way, let go quickly, don't tie yourself up."

Before Li Yong could say anything, Zhang Jinsong shouted next to him: "Don't bluff people. Knowing the names of our company commander and instructor can prove that you are one of us? Be honest, what are you doing? Tell me quickly, or you will be arrested." Dead."

One of the two said: "What else can we do, we are scouts, we can't let us carry letters of introduction with us."

Seeing the two arguing with Zhang Jinsong, Li Yong asked: "How do you know the names of Li Yong and Wang Chengde?"

The two replied: "Company Commander Li, Instructor Wang, your names were notified to the headquarters by Brigadier Liu of the Ninth Brigade, otherwise how would we know."

Hearing that they mentioned Brigadier Liu of the Ninth Brigade, including Zhang Jinsong, they almost understood it, and the enemy's spies had no way of knowing something. It seems that these two people are really their own.

Li Yong suddenly asked: "Who is the deputy political commissar of the field army headquarters?" Not many people knew about it, even the grassroots cadres and soldiers of the Northwest Field Army. If they knew about this, they must be scouts sent by the headquarters of the Field Army.

The two men froze for a moment, and one of them replied: "I said Company Commander Li, you are really careful. The deputy political commissar of our field army is Comrade Xi Zhongxun. This time it will work, let's untie it quickly."

Hearing what the two said, Li Yong was also happy, so he quickly asked someone to untie them, let them sit on the chairs, and poured a jar of water for each of them.

The two sat down and drank a few sips of water and said: "Commander Li, Instructor Wang, you have become famous this time. The head of the field army headquarters already knows about your army. I have been in the headquarters for reconnaissance for a long time. I have seen the head of the headquarters be so concerned about a company-level unit, and I heard that the enemy in Qingyang area has killed two cavalry regiments, did you do it?"

Zhang Jinsong on the side was unwilling to hear this: "Of course it's us, or the enemy can beat himself to death by himself?"

The two said: "Comrades, don't be unwilling, let alone the two of us, even the head of the headquarters doesn't understand how you can wipe out two regiments of the enemy with hundreds of people. Of course, killing the enemy is a good thing, but we also need to understand it." , how do we go back and report?"

Instructor Wang Chengde said: "Two comrades rest first, and I will give you the battle after I finish writing. What instructions does the head of the headquarters have for us?"

The two said: "The head of the headquarters is very concerned about you. Your combat operations have helped the main force a lot, and you have effectively cooperated with the main force's actions. The chief said that he would reward you, and finally the chief said that you should be more careful. The enemy will not be reconciled. If you are at a disadvantage, let you be more careful, ask more questions about everything, don't fight the enemy head-on, and if you can't stand it, move closer to the main force."
