The beacon of youth

The du li brigade assigned to the 64th Army dispatched a reconnaissance battalion to act alone before launching an attack. Before leaving, the brigade commander Li Yong also solemnly asked the battalion commander Zhang Jinsong to ensure the safety of the thousand-year-old embankment of the Yellow River at all costs. heavy task

Zhang Jinsong can weigh the weight of Li Yong's tone. The brigade commander has always loved the soldiers. In battle, even if he can save one person from casualties, he must do his best. When assigning tasks, such a tone is rarely said at all costs. , but once it is said, it must be done

Battalion Commander Zhang Jinsong, who was born in Laoba Road, put away his laughing mentality, and stood straight in front of brigade commander Li Yong and political commissar Wang Chengde: "Please rest assured, the commander, all the cadres and soldiers of the reconnaissance battalion will definitely complete the task and ensure the safety of the Yellow River embankment."

The determination has been shown, and the words have been spoken, but how to complete the task will take a lot of thought. It's not that it can't beat the enemy. The opponent of the reconnaissance battalion is the engineer battalion of the 2nd Ningma Army. Compared with the front-line combat troops, combined with equipment, personnel and morale, compared with the du li brigade's reconnaissance battalion of more than 1000 people, Zhang Jinsong is fully confident in eliminating the enemy and fighting a very comfortable and happy battle. It's not just a simple matter of getting rid of the Ningma Army battalion, what the reconnaissance battalion wants is the absolute safety of the Yellow River embankment

Although the engineers and soldiers are not good at fighting, they are experts at blowing up embankments. If the reconnaissance battalion rushes forward rashly, it may leave the enemy with a chance to detonate the explosives calmly. If it blows up, it will be destroyed. Not only can the tasks assigned by the brigade commander and the political commissar not be completed, but the reconnaissance battalion itself may be trapped in the flood. Shooting doesn't solve the problem

what to do?How can we ensure the safety of the embankment while destroying the enemy? ?Zhang Jinsong, who was thinking for a while, and the commanders at all levels of the reconnaissance battalion made a unanimous decision to use their old methods and best skills to set off in disguise and hit the enemy by surprise before the engineering battalion of the 2nd Army reacted. get rid of them

Disguised as Ma Jiajun is a good way, it is often done by the reconnaissance battalion, and they can handle things with ease, but there are also difficulties that the soldiers of the whole battalion cannot solve with their horses and clothing. For this reason, Zhang Jinsong specially sent a report, please Support from the brigade, and ask to use the prisoners captured by the du li brigade, saying that they want to change clothes with the prisoners

Fortunately, the du li brigade just destroyed the enemy's brigade in Jingtai, and the captives could not be taken away for a while in the centralized custody. Now, the brigade of more than 1000 people was used to change the reconnaissance battalion and return Just right, horses, military uniforms and so on are just enough

The brigade commander Li Yong's principle of doing things is that Zhang Jinsong and the others will be fully responsible for the task after the task is handed over to the reconnaissance battalion. The reconnaissance battalion decides how to fight the battle. When he came out to use the military uniforms on the captives, he asked the captives to take off their clothes. Brigadier Li didn't take it seriously at all. Afterwards, he could do anything as long as it was beneficial to the war. It's only natural to use the captives. It doesn't matter if they strip them off. The reconnaissance battalion is tossing around

In fact, of course the captives cannot be allowed to be naked, the duli brigade still has military uniforms, the political commissar Wang Chengde knew the temperament of the brigade commander Li Yong, and asked people to send military uniforms to the captives, each with a set, of course, they were all captured The military uniform of the coming Kuomintang army

Did the captured brigade of soldiers wonder what the PLA meant?Let them stand up and go out to change clothes, take off the old clothes on their bodies, and put on a suit of clothes. Although it is also the standard uniform of the Kuomintang army, it is much better than what they used to wear, and it is also formal The uniform of the Kuomintang central yang army

There is no need to treat the prisoners so well. Is there something wrong with the PLA?Or did you get water in your head?not like

There are still a large number of Kuomintang army uniforms in the reconnaissance camp and the supply camp, but they are different from the clothes of the first brigade. To put it simply, the Kuomintang army uniforms seized by the du li brigade before are too good to wear. What does a reconnaissance battalion do for a motley crew like the First Brigade of the Ningma Army?Pretending to be a cat is like a cat, pretending to be a tiger is like a tiger, pretending to be a unit of the Ningma Army, the military uniform is too good and easy to wear

Zhang Jinsong led the soldiers to change all the military uniforms of the captive brigade soldiers, and set off under the astonished eyes of the captives.

The engineer battalion with hundreds of people, carrying a large amount of explosives, is tense all day long, waiting for orders from above, but there has been no order from above, gossip is flying all over the sky, why the People's Liberation Army has already hit there It's there, what county did the People's Liberation Army take down?

He Shuheng, who was in charge of blasting the embankment, was so anxious that he was about to start reading, because he knew the situation, and knew that Ma Hongbin's army had revolted. As soon as the army moved out of the way, the large troops of the People's Liberation Army could fight all the way to Yinchuan. Go on, the troops of the People's Liberation Army may appear in the Jinji area at any time

The large troops of the People's Liberation Army have not yet seen a trace, but the engineer battalion of the 2nd Army has found a troop of its own. The sound of horseshoes trampling the ground in the dark can be heard for several miles. The hooves of the horses are covered, but if you do this, it will be suspicious

The vanguard squad of the reconnaissance battalion is a platoon of Ning Erzi. Ning Erzi doesn't think about hiding at all.

According to the pre-reconnaissance route, it should be very close to the engineer battalion of the 2nd Army. Ning Erzi calmly ordered the soldiers to cheer up and prepare for battle.

Groups of black shadows suddenly appeared not too far in front of the sentinels of the 2nd Military Engineering Battalion. In the dark night, they couldn't tell whether they were friends or enemies. The soldiers on guard raised their guns nervously and shouted Shouting: "Stop, which part? Password, stop shooting!"

A voice came over: "What are you yelling, put down the gun and be careful not to fire, I was not killed by the communist army, and I don't want you, a bum, to be killed."

Hearing the tone of the other party should be one of his own, the sentry relaxed, put down the gun, and asked with some hesitation: "Which part are you from? What are you doing in our defense area?"

"Go to your mother's defense area. I ran out with great difficulty. I'm in the dark. Who knows where it is. I don't know the password. Tell you officers, I'm in the first brigade. If there is anything to eat, hurry up and get us a bite , one day and one night, the water rice did not grind its teeth."

Judging by the military uniform on his body and the tone of the person who came, it was the Ningma Army himself. A soldier quickly ran back to report the news, and the one who was still standing guard asked a little curiously: "I said, brothers, isn't the first brigade always Do you live in Jingtai, I seem to have heard that they were rounded up by the Communist Army, how did you escape?"

"How did we get out? Don't we have four-legged war horses? Don't think of the communist army as gods. No matter how powerful they are, they can't catch up with our four-legged legs. As long as you want to run, you must have a chance. Hey , I said, brothers, can you let us go quickly?"

The sentinel at the big post replied apologetically: "I'm sorry brothers, someone has already reported back. To tell the truth, brothers, don't look at us. We only have one engineer battalion. The leader is the deputy commander of our 2nd Army. He doesn't nod." No one can do anything about it, brothers, feel wronged for a while."

A soldier who came to report hurriedly ran into the tent of Deputy Army Commander He Shuheng: "Report, sir, a troop has entered our defense area and is waiting to be released."

kindness?He Shuheng was hesitant about what he was doing so late, he turned around and asked the sentinel, "Which part is there, and how many people are there?"

"Sir, there are more than 100 people. It is said that a brigade was scattered and ran out. They got lost in the dark and came to us by mistake."

"Jingtai's journey?? Interesting" He Shuheng said to himself

"Let their leading officer come to see me, by the way, don't forget to disarm"

The sentinel trotted back and said apologetically to Erzi Ning, the leader of the team: "I'm sorry, brother, our deputy army commander only allows your officer to go there alone, and you have to disarm him. Which brother will come with me?"

The matter came to a critical point again. The deputy commander of the 2nd Army was very suspicious. He wanted to know the situation and was afraid of being deceived by the People's Liberation Army, so he only sent one person over for questioning.

Go or not, don't go, the matter will be exposed soon, no matter how stupid the engineers of the Second Army can see the flaws, those who have their own people are afraid of seeing their own people, if they don't go, they can only force their way in, but once But it would be a big trouble if you forced your way in. There was a squad of mobile sentries released by the 2nd Army Engineering Battalion. Under the situation of blocking roadblocks and repelling horses, Ning Erzi and the soldiers were not sure how to get this one out without making a sound. All the sentries in the squad were wiped out. Once the gun was fired, things would explode, and the progress of the battle could not be controlled. No one knew whether the deputy commander of the 2nd Army would immediately order to blow up the embankment.

A few thoughts flashed through his head, but Erzi Ning still made a decision, and followed him to see what tricks the deputy commander of the 2nd Army could use.

"Since the officer wants to see me, it's easy to handle. Brothers, wait at the back. I'll be back as soon as I see the officer." After speaking, Erzi Ning handed the submachine gun in his hand to a soldier beside him, and patted his body. Soil, and stretched the hem of the military uniform in a decent way

The actions of the second son Ning made the soldiers anxious. The platoon leader followed him without a weapon, wouldn’t it be a sheep in the mouth of a tiger? No, it’s too dangerous (to be continued)
