The beacon of youth

Yinchuan, the headquarters of the [-]th Corps of the People's Liberation Army. It was full of people, the voices were buzzing, and the steam was steaming. Commander Yang looked at Li Yong and Wang Chengde standing in front of him: "I really don't want you to leave. Our brigade is ours. It was a great help to us from the head of the field department, and I was really reluctant to leave after the battle. I have reported to the field department after the battle, and the head of the headquarters has already understood that the credit cannot escape."

Li Zhimin's political commissar also came over and said, "I originally wanted to hold a farewell party for you guys, but the time was too tight, so everything was cancelled, but we will make it up later."

Farewell to the commander, to the brothers and comrades who fought together, to the 64th Corps, and to the 548th Army who fought side by side. Before leaving, Li Yong was stabbed twice by Commander Zeng Siyu. Chapter [-] Chase , Commander Zeng cursed: "Dayong, my mother wants to keep you guys to work together, it seems impossible, the head of the headquarters is also eyeing you, nothing else, I wish you new achievements, See you on the battlefield."

Outside the city, the du li brigade had already lined up neatly. Automobiles, artillery, tanks, armored vehicles, including personnel, all stood in squares. This tiger and wolf division on standby was waiting for an order from their brigade commander.

Before departure, the logistics department of the [-]th Corps specially carried out a large-scale supply for the du li brigade. Commander Yang Dezhi and political commissar Li Zhimin both understood that if you want the horse to run fast, you must first prepare the fodder Therefore, hundreds of barrels of all kinds of oil were prepared, and the ammunition and food were not used. They scooped up as much as they wanted, and opened up the supply.As long as the Nineteenth Corps can have it, they can do whatever they want.

The Dapeng flew eight thousand miles, soared to the ninth heaven, and was fully loaded.With enough soldiers and food, the fighting spirit of the DULI Brigade, with more than 1000 troops, led by tanks and used a large number of cars as a means of transportation, towed more than 100 heavy artillery pieces, like a rolling stream of iron, sweeping into the distance Gradually, their figures were submerged in the smoke and dust covering the sky.

"What a good army. I really don't want to let them go to Chapter 548 to chase them." Commander Yang Dezhi, who saw them off, said to himself.

Li Yong in the jeep also withdrew his gaze, Yinchuan was getting farther and farther away, and the cooperation with the [-]th Corps came to an end, and the du li brigade embarked on a new journey again.However, including Li Yong, the soldiers were very excited, and there was no sadness about parting. This is because.Although it is far away from Yinchuan, it is close to my home.

Where is the home of the du li brigade?Do you still have to ask, the home of the du li brigade is in the First Corps and the Second Army, and that is their home.There are old comrades-in-arms and old leaders they are familiar with, and everything they are familiar with.Thinking of all this makes people excited, so excited that some people are pulling their necks and roaring while sitting in the car.

There were many soldiers shouting and screaming.The excitement is understandable, Li Yong and Wang Chengde don't care about this matter, they can shout whatever they like, as long as they have strength, whoever has the loudest voice has to be the first battalion commander Li Jiangguo, Li Jiangguo has a characteristic, not only the loud voice He is also very good at bragging, this guy left his jeep instead of sitting, climbed into a truck to mix with the soldiers, and told everyone stories with joy.

Most of the battalion commanders and instructors of the du li brigade are fighters from the old eighth road. When it comes to fighting, everyone is a good player. No one can figure out which one is better, but everyone agrees The only recognized one is Li Jiangguo and Li Daying Commander.

Some people can, but who can't brag, open your mouth and talk in vernacular, really don't do that, bragging is also a skill, Li Jiangguo can make the soldiers believe what he said.

"What's the matter? Marching in a car is too dusty. You recruits really don't know what it's like to suffer. I think I used my legs to race against the enemy's car wheels. It took days and nights to run, isn't it? We survived anyway, and neither the little devil nor the Kuomintang can catch up with us."

Some soldiers asked curiously: "Commander, is it true? How can your legs run over the wheels of a car? I think you are bragging."

"You bastard, if you don't understand anything, you won't be convinced. Of course, we have a way to compare the speed of the enemy with two legs. Their car wheels are good, but they can only take the road, but the road is full of roads. Those who go around and go around, our troops of the Eighth Route Army can go over mountains and lead the way, as long as they take shortcuts, they can still catch up with the enemy. I remember one time, I only had eight bullets and two grenades, and I fought a big battle, the key is to see how to fight, as long as the strategy and tactics are right, even if the weapons and equipment are not as good as the enemy, I can win the battle."

People like Li Jiangguo are just a microcosm of all veterans. Everyone is sitting in the car chatting casually. Fortunately, there is no enemy situation now, and the soldiers are all relaxing and talking nonsense.

The troops arrived in Wuzhong soon after they came out of Yinchuan. They fought a battle in this area a few days ago and wiped out the main force of the Ningma 128th Army. Over the years, Li Yong and his soldiers sometimes garrisoned in deep houses with blue bricks and blue tiles, and sometimes camped in the wild in the ice and snow. Compressed tightly together, then released all of a sudden.

Passing through Wuzhong, Lingwu, and Jinji, the du li brigade went back and forth all the way. The soldiers pointed all the way in the car. Some of them pointed here. This was taken down by their battalion, and the hill was blown down by their platoon with grenades. Yes, they sacrificed several comrades in arms here, and they have mixed feelings at this time.

Wherever they went, there were work teams organized by the local government to boil water and cook for the troops. Even though the government was not established for a long time, the efficiency is really not impressive. Food, drink and Lazard are all available. Li Yong and the soldiers This time it was really a blessing, even the new soldiers knew what it means to have the benefits of the liberated areas. When they marched, they took a car, and when they were hungry, someone gave them food. This day is like a fairy.

The common people along the way also felt very novel. Aren’t the troops of the Eighth Route Army all poor people? Why are the troops who can’t afford food so rich? They also get on cars when they come, and there are so many tanks and cannons. Don’t ask, It must be the most powerful force in Baluli.

For this reason, many local youths asked the local government to join the army, and they obviously went to the army that had just passed by. Their opinions were fed back to the brigade commander Li Yong and the political commissar Wang Chengde. He didn't have any opinion on such a benefit. It's a good thing to want to be a soldier, as long as the army needs it, you can have it.

If you want to catch up with the main force of the Second Army, you have to go to Xining first. The distance from Yinchuan to Xining is more than 200 kilometers. If you have to march on foot, you have to walk for about [-] days. , plus a large amount of artillery towed, tanks marching in with motorized tracks, and the marching speed of the troops is not high, each motor hour is only about [-] kilometers, but this is very remarkable, three cattle along the way The repair company played a big role. There are not many new models of cars and tanks in the whole brigade, and there are frequent breakdowns when walking. More than [-] people are busy with repairs. Finally, the march of the large troops was not delayed. Two days later, the troops finally arrived. Xining.

After arriving in Xining, I found out that the Second Army had set off long ago, and there were only local law and order troops left in the city. However, this made people feel very friendly, because the left-behind personnel in Xining were also from the Second Army. One was an old acquaintance, and the soldiers greeted each other laughing and jokingly. The remaining personnel also went all out to provide another large supply for the du li brigade. When the troops in their own army arrived, of course they had to go all out.

The time rewinds to a few days ago. The command of the Field Army Headquarters went to the Second Army in Xining. The Field Division ordered the Second Army to start from Xining in Qinghai and go straight to Zhangye, and eliminate the Kuomintang Zhangye defenders as quickly as possible.

The order came down, but how to implement it caused controversy within the Second Army. The focus of the debate focused on whether the large troops should take the mountain road or the road. Each had its own point of view, and no one could obey the other. Commander Wang has arrived. The Second Army is Commander Wang’s old unit, and it can also be the commander’s natal family. There is no right or wrong for Commander Wang who has returned to his natal family. He just explained to everyone:

"Of course it's best to take a flat road. We start from Xining and advance along the Lanzhou-Xinjiang Highway. We encounter some scattered enemies along the way, fight some tricks, set off at dawn, and camp at night. It’s comfortable, how normal, but you don’t count, if we take the road, we have to detour through the river mouth, which takes five or six days longer than crossing the Qilian Mountains. By the time we arrive at Minle and Zhangye, the enemy has already stayed in Jiuquan Comrades, the enemy has more than 1000 vehicles, which are enough to carry away their tens of thousands of horses. At that time, we will follow the enemy's vehicles and chase the enemy on the deserted Gobi , along the way, starving, enduring thirst, braving the wind and snow, and then starving to death, dying of thirst, and dragging to death on the thousands of miles of Gobi, what will be the situation at that time? If we set off from Xining to Menyuan and then climb over the Qilian Mountains, although it will be a bit more difficult, we will take a short-cut route. The journey of several hundred miles may be very difficult, and the altitude is high, but if we persist, we will be able to use two It takes half to three days to cross the mountain and reach Minle. Our army, which has experienced the Long March, can't cross Qilian Mountain without the enemy's pursuit and interception? After we get off the mountain, we will go straight to Minle County. What kind of situation will that be? We will be able to meet up with the comrades of the Second Corps and the Sixth Army, and then drive into Xin Jiang by car after destroying the enemy.” (To be continued.
