The beacon of youth

Hearing political commissar Wang Chengde ask about the seizure, Li Yuming, the instructor of the tank battalion, became annoyed for a while, because the soldiers in their battalion were not only faster than the reconnaissance battalion, but there were almost no seizures, and nothing was recovered.

The ** brigade is used to fighting. Troops from the Eighth Route Army have a glorious tradition. If you don’t get something back after the war, you always feel empty and uncomfortable. It’s the same when you’re fighting the little devils, and it’s the same when you’re fighting the Kuomintang army. To be clear, I am used to going out to rob, and I want to get some benefits every time. Not to mention Li Yong and the soldiers, even Wang Chengde, the political commissar who has always been very stable, now has this problem.

Seeing that Li Yuming kept answering, Zhang Jinsong had no choice but to say: "Political commissar, the seizure is really nothing. We don't like some broken equipment. The ones that are not bad can only be war horses. There are more than 100 people who were not dead or injured. Horse, that's all."

Wang Chengde didn't expect to have any big gains. He could gain anything from fighting the bandits, but there was nothing too much, nothing was better than nothing, and the horses were not bad either:

"Stay alive, and eat meat for the dead and wounded. Improve your life at noon and evening today. By the way, there is one more question. How many prisoners did you capture?"

When the political commissar asked about the captives, Zhang Jinsong and Li Yuming were excited. They looked at each other and thought, they are still captives. The brigade commander didn't say he wanted to capture them. How dare we capture them back, but we can't tell the political commissar directly. No matter what, the brigade commander could not be confessed, so in the end Zhang Jinsong had to explain:

"Well, political commissar, tell me, these bandits are too stubborn. They are determined not to surrender. No matter how much we shouted, it was useless, and we ran as hard as we could. We kept resisting while running. We had no choice but to wipe them all out, hehe, No prisoners."

Who is Wang Chengde?He was an officer of the Political Department of the Fourth Brigade and Second Regiment of the Second Column, and one of the oldest veterans among all the veterans of the ** Brigade. He was very clear about the psychological activities of the soldiers, and he knew it from the expressions of Zhang Jinsong and Li Yuming. What happened.Give him back his stubborn resistance?Isn't this nonsense, but what can be done if something happens, it is very likely that the boy Dayong gave the order, and Wang Chengde, who had no choice but to say no to an example, left.

A small battle on a small scale.It can be regarded as a small episode during the military tour of the Communist Party. No one thinks it is a big deal. Is it nothing to eliminate hundreds of bandits? The military brigade with more than 3000 people fighting such a small battle is no different from eating melon seeds. But what they didn't expect was that such a small battle the size of melon seeds let the local people know what the People's Liberation Army is.

These five or six hundred horse bandits are very famous in the local area. Not only are the common people fearful, but even the Kuomintang army could not do anything to them. The hundreds of people are all horse teams, and each person has an average of two horses.For such bandits, the bandit suppression troops would have nothing to do with them if their maneuverability was a little lower. Fortunately, when they encountered the ** brigade, it was also their time of death.

This morning, after the troops left Shanshan, they began to cross the Tianshan Mountains. Li Yong told the battalions and companies to prepare for the mountain crossing, check and repair the vehicles, tanks, artillery and other equipment, and emphasized that as long as we cross the Tianshan Mountains.It is the endless northern foot plain, and this is the real entry into the hinterland of Xinjiang.

The Tianshan Mountains run across the middle of Xinjiang, with majestic momentum, steep mountain roads, and cars spiraling up the cliffs.

At the foot of the mountain, everyone felt that the weather was muggy.Many soldiers opened their chests, took off their hats and fanned them.But the further you go up the mountain, the lower the temperature is. When you are near the top of the mountain, the cold wind is blowing, and the cold makes goose bumps. It seems that there are two worlds on the mountain and the mountain below. , Some said: "What's this called? It's hot enough down the mountain, but cold enough on the mountain. If it keeps going on like this, I won't have a cold. What should I do if I catch a cold and affect my combat effectiveness?"

There are a lot of strange things in that battalion. Wang Huhu, the commander of the Fifth Battalion, who has never been very talkative, said to the soldiers of his battalion: "You really don't know your blessings. You are full of food and have protection against the cold." You don’t need to use up your energy in a car, do you know how many people were sacrificed by our Qianwei 130th Regiment when they crossed Qilian Mountain? There were more than [-] people, all of whom froze to death on the mountain. Thinking about them, how dare you speak strange words! "

Wang Huo didn't speak much, but once he said it, everyone was convinced. The soldiers of the Fifth Battalion who spoke strange words suddenly bowed their heads. Thinking about it, it was true. Compared with the sacrificed comrades, marching in a car was a great blessing.

The car has been circling for more than three hours before reaching the top of the mountain. The field of vision suddenly opened up, and the sight was clear and clear. The blue sky, white clouds, grasslands, and the vast plain could not be seen at a glance.

There are flocks of sheep, horses and cattle on the grassland. The shepherds drive these herds to wander leisurely on the fertile grassland. The herds against the snow-capped mountains and the grassland are like looking at the colorful sewn in the sun. Pattern on satin - beautiful and on point.

"It's so beautiful, it's just as described in a fairy tale." Li Jia, who was sitting next to Li Yong, couldn't help but say something.

"Of course it is beautiful, otherwise there will always be foreign forces trying to divide our beautiful Xin Jiang! However, as soon as our troops arrive, all the enemy's dreams will become the laughing stock of history, and the enemy's ambitions will also be shattered by us .” Brigadier Li replied confidently.

Li Yong didn't talk big, he thought he and the soldiers had the strength, the car circled down, and went around for several hours to the foot of the mountain. At this time, there were more and more people on both sides of the road. , wearing flower-colored bras, and the girls wore more than a dozen small braids, and they spoke the local minority language that neither Li Yong nor the soldiers could understand.

It's fresh, it's curious, the soldiers of the ** brigade can't wait to have a few more eyes, they can't see it when they look around, and they are wandering in the deserted desert of thousands of miles. It's a bit strange to come out suddenly adapt.

How could Li Yong, who has been a man for two generations, not understand the mood of the soldiers, they are all young men in their twenties, who have marched and fought in the Gobi desert for many days, and the mice they saw may be males, and suddenly they arrived in a crowded place The place is indeed a little dazed, especially when seeing those beautiful girls, the eyeballs are about to fall to the ground.

Li Yong is also a young man, and he also wants to see beautiful girls, but as a brigade leader, he must lead by example. This principle is still clear. Also, because of the existence of Hu Xiaolian and Li Jia, the brigade commander Li is immune The force is better than the soldiers anyway. For this reason, Li Yong specially asked Li Jia, the company commander of the police and guards, to convey a very funny order: "The troops will soon enter densely populated areas, and we must strictly implement the "three major disciplines" of our army. And the eight points of attention "beautiful girls can watch, but they can't talk nonsense to others, let alone touch their hands. One more point is that although beautiful girls can watch, they can't stare at them for a long time, that's impolite."

The long order made the soldiers laugh non-stop. The soldiers were still resolute in carrying out the order. Soon, a city appeared in front of the convoy. Upstairs, Li Yong put down the binoculars in his hand, knowing that he and the traveler had arrived at the destination of this trip, and the city in sight was Dihua, the capital of Xin Jiang.

"Dihua, here we come." Brigadier Li Da stood in the jeep and yelled a few words loudly, but he felt awkward no matter how he yelled. It would be nice to call Urumqi, but Li Yong knew in his heart that changing the name of a city would be a big deal. What happened after [-] was Fu's order, and now he, the little brigade commander, can only pretend to be confused.

Just when Li Yong was struggling with when to change Dihua to Urumqi, a convoy drove out from the city.

The two convoys driving in from the opposite side were getting closer and closer. After a few minutes, they approached a distance of about 50 meters. The two convoys stopped at a short distance. Jumped up and down.

Judging from this posture, they should come to greet them. The leader is about 50 years old, wearing the new military uniform of the People's Liberation Army (the troops entering Xinjiang have changed into the uniform uniform of the People's Liberation Army before departure, and they are the same khaki military uniforms of several major field armies. , the Xin Jiang uprising troops have not yet finished changing their uniforms, but the military uniforms of a small number of senior officers were transported by air before the advance troops entered Xinjiang), and some senior officers put on the uniforms of the People's Liberation Army. Who is this?

No matter who it is, the ones who can come out to greet them should be their own people. Li Yong and Wang Chengde took a few steps to greet them. When they got close, they saw this person first introduce himself: "Comrade Dajun, hello, I am Tao Zhiyue." , welcome to Dihua, you have worked hard all the way.”

"Tao Zhiyue"?He is a general of the Kuomintang, but this is all in the past. After the uprising, the Kuomintang troops in Xin Jiang were reorganized into the No.20 Second Corps of the People's Liberation Army. Tao Zhiyue was the commander of the Corps. He was appointed by the PLA headquarters. Head level figures.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, 57 generals were appointed during the five-five-five years, and Tao Zhiyue was one of them. This is a person who has made great contributions to the peaceful liberation of Xinjiang. After explaining, we must respect the uprising Kuomintang generals, and don't put on a victor's posture and face.

Li Yong and Wang Chengde took a step forward, stood at attention, saluted and reported: "The ** Brigade of the Second Army of the First Field and First Corps of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, brigade commander Li Yong and political commissar Wang Chengde have been ordered to come, please give instructions."

I know that the cadres of the People's Liberation Army are young, but when they saw Li Yong and Wang Chengde, they still surprised the people who picked them up. Just these two young people are also brigade commanders and political commissars? ? Let them bring a large force of more than 1 people? ?Can it work? (To be continued..)
