The beacon of youth

Anyone who has fought in war knows that you can feel at ease when you have soldiers in your hands. Once you can return to the old army you are familiar with, you can sleep with a quilt over your head. In a word, because you can rest assured.

The arrival of Deputy Commander Chen caused chaos in the ** brigade. The old soldiers rushed forward to salute and shake hands with the chief, while the new soldiers pointed and pointed.

A little soldier asked curiously: "Squad leader, is this Deputy Commander Chen of our army? Why do you all know him so well?"

The squad leader glared at the little soldier: "If you don't know the situation, ask more, don't be like a fool, you know, our ** brigade thought there were only 20 people in the beginning, and we marched and fought under the deputy commander all day long. Regardless of the high position of the chief, just like everyone else, he also drilled in the trenches, ate pickles and drank porridge, do you think we are not familiar with it?"

Surrounded by a large group of people, they rushed to the brigade headquarters of the ** brigade. There was no time to wait for everyone to sit warmly. First Battalion Commander Li Jiangguo, Second Battalion Commander Ma Quanyou, Third Battalion Commander Ma Changsheng, Ning Jinshan, Commander of the Fourth Battalion, Wang Huhu, Commander of the Fifth Battalion, Wei Gang, Commander of the Machine Gun Battalion, Gao Xiang, Battalion Commander of the Artillery Battalion, Sun Quanhou, Battalion Commander of the Supplies Battalion, He Cuihua, Instructor, Jiang Tiexiong, Battalion Commander of the Tank Battalion, Li Yuming, Instructor, Health Team Hu Xiaolian, the captain of the army, plus the instructors and instructors of these battalions and companies, hula hula, dozens of people ran over together. In a few dozen or twenty minutes, almost all the veterans from the beginning of the ** brigade arrived.

They are all veterans, they are all veterans, they are all old people from the former Fourth Brigade and now the Fourth Division. However, there is something special. Among all the people who came, there is only one tank battalion commander Jiang Tiexiong and Deputy Commander Chen who are not familiar with them. However, Li Yuming, the instructor of their battalion, also dragged him over.

It's lively, surrounded by three floors inside and three floors outside, and they are all greeting the chief in a chaotic manner. Li Yong and Wang Chengde can't squeeze in, so they have to stand outside to maintain order. Brigadier Li is still angry He muttered: "He's a ****. I didn't let anyone notify me. How did these guys know so quickly! It's evil."

Political commissar Wang Chengde snorted: "Hmph, we still need to notify!! As soon as the chief entered the yard, the phone call from the Jingwei company of the gate post came out. Look, even the old grandson of the supply camp is listening to the news."

The scene was chaotic, but Commander Lesken, who came with Deputy Commander Chen, was very moved. It could be seen that the soldiers who surrounded him loved his old commander from the bottom of their hearts, and their feelings were unusual.

Needless to say, Deputy Commander Chen knew all the soldiers from the ** brigade.They are all familiar, and they are all his own soldiers. Looking at this posture again, it seems that the cadres above the battalion and company are all here. After thinking for a while, Deputy Commander Chen shouted at the crowd: "Hey, I said Li Yong and Wang Chengde, you guys Where are the two boys hiding? Get out of here quickly."

When Deputy Commander Chen shouted, the scene became even more lively.There was constant laughter, why?Because Li Yong and Wang Chengde are the two highest military officers of the ** brigade, they usually have a certain dignity.Especially Wang Chengde, the political commissar, often put on a big face when training people, which is quite scary.

Sanniu, Xiaocheng, He Cuihua, Li Yuming and other fighters who were often criticized felt very open-minded. Oh, watching the brigade commander and political commissar being scolded is so relieved and enjoyable. Where do I usually find this opportunity.Hey, interesting.

Looking at the eyes of these guys, Li Yong knew what they were thinking, but the chief shouted, there was no way to go in, Li Yong and Wang Chengde hurriedly pushed aside the crowd and squeezed in.Li Yong also replied with a playful smile: "Report to the chief, don't we two get out of here now?"

The performance of Li Yong, Wang Chengde and others made the commander of the National Army Resken quite touched. After the superior sent a new political commissar to the National Army, Commander Resken was still not at ease, because the national army All of them are ethnic minority fighters, and their language, culture and living habits are too different from those in the mainland. It is not easy to become a political commissar of the national army. If one’s own ability is not strong, there is no way to carry out the work. However, seeing Deputy Army Commander Chen and With the performance of the soldiers together, Commander Lesken felt a little more at ease.

From the day when the ** brigade came to Dihua, Commander Lesken could see that it was a rebellious and extremely powerful force. From the political commissar of the brigade commander to the soldiers, everyone had eyes. The madness of the stock is a kind of fanaticism that does not put anyone in the eyes. Not to mention the senior commanders in the army, even the most low-level soldiers walk with their chests up, and they can't talk. It was oppressive, with a loud tone. Mahemuti also reported to him that the comrades in the ** brigade were all awesome, and they all wanted to go to heaven. When he introduced the situation, some soldiers told him:

"Don't worry, Comrade Mahmut, it's not a big deal. No matter how serious the situation is, as long as our ** brigade arrives, it will be easy to handle. Whether it's the enemy's regular army or bandits, it doesn't matter whether he is foreign or domestic. Kill them all. Wouldn't the world be peaceful?"

The brigade commander Li Yong is even more so. This little brigade commander, who looks only in his twenties, has given Commander Tao Zhiyue and Chairman Bao Erhan, plus him, the commander of the National Army, some face after arriving in Dihua. The people in this group simply ignore them, let alone treat them to dinner, and sometimes they are too lazy to say anything. That is to say, the commander of the advance troops of the People's Liberation Army is a very difficult subject to answer. In the words of the officials, it is very difficult to serve, but this kind of troops respects the new political commissar very much. Later, I learned that the so-called advance troops of the field army are actually a brigade of the Second Army, which is famous all over the field army. His trump card, that is, a unit built by the new political commissar, the fact that such a unit can be established can explain the problem, and it shows that the new political commissar must not be simple.

Of course, Deputy Commander Chen is not simple. If his working ability is not strong, why would he be sent to the National Army as a political commissar by his superiors, but at this time he didn't know what Commander Lesken was thinking. Let's hold a meeting first, so that I can convey to everyone the spirit of the superior's instructions:

"Comrades, the task of advancing into Xinjiang has been accomplished very well. On behalf of our Second Army and the Party Committee of the Field Army, I would like to commend you. As for meritorious service awards, it will take some time. I will first convey a message to you. It was decided that starting from January [-], the Xin Jiang National Army would be reorganized into the Fifth Army of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, the commander of the army, Lesken, and the political commissar will be me, nothing else, everyone is welcome."

The venue was in chaos again, cheers, applause, laughter, everyone was very happy, Deputy Commander Chen, should be called Political Commissar Chen now, and pressed everyone to stop, and then Commander Lesken should now be called Commander Liao said, "Comrade Commander, what can you say?"

I have already heard the news, or in other words, Commissar Chen notified Commander Lesken of the decision of his superiors a long time ago, but now he is still very excited after hearing the news from the commissar to the ** brigade. The troops composed of ethnic minorities finally have their own official numbers.

"Comrades, our superiors ordered our Fifth Army to cooperate with the fraternal troops entering Xinjiang, vigorously develop the masses, resume production, eliminate banditry, and make greater contributions to our beautiful Xin Jiang. Let us work together." Commander Lesken's voice was trembling with excitement.

In January [-], the Xinjiang National Army was formally reorganized into the Fifth Army of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, led by Lesken, the commander, and Dun Xingyun, the political commissar.

Dun Xingyun: Born in Shishou County, Hubei Province in 1912, joined the Young Pioneers in 1929.

General Dun Xingyun was the first political commissar of the Fifth Army of the Chinese People's Liberation Army and the first commander of naval aviation after the founding of New China. The air hero in the book, who led the Soviet fighter aircraft in the Korean War to cooperate with the Volunteer Air Force to fight in North Korea, was called the Chinese Xia Boyang, and is also the prototype of Deputy Commander Chen, the old chief of the protagonist Li Yong in this book. Since it is a novel , we will still call him Deputy Commander Chen or Commissar Chen from now on.

As mentioned earlier, due to the Spanish Civil War, the original Northwest Field Army did not have a fifth column, so when the whole army was unified, there was no designation of the Fifth Army. It seems that the designation of the Fifth Army has been reserved for It was sent to the Xinjiang National Army and stayed until January [-]. (to be continued..)
