The beacon of youth

()Chapter 580 Troublesome work team

Du Li brigade's incompatible approach aroused some people's resentment. For this reason, political commissar Wang Chengde reminded Li Yong whether he could restrain himself a little.

Li Yong knew what Wang Chengde meant: "restraint?? How to restraint? Can we let us see bandits and spies go kill and set fire? Or catch them and let them go? I don't have the patience to tell the soldiers, don't care about others How to put it, we can do whatever we want, don't talk about soft policies, I, the brigade commander, will bear the consequences, and it has nothing to do with them."

Li Yong is a little angry because a few days ago, an observer sent by his superiors came. Can they be called attempted, or be lenient and give them a chance to start a new life.

At that time, Li Yong became angry, and contradicted the observer: "What is random killing? What is attempted? Is it a crime to wait until the bandits and spies wiped out all of us and our new republic?? Or put Can we resist when the knife is on our necks?" Wang Bujuozi.

The observer was so angry that he left without even eating a meal. Before leaving, he said angrily that he would report the brutal behavior of the du li brigade to his superiors.

Including political commissar Wang Chengde, the soldiers who knew the news were very worried. No matter what, they were all staff members sent by their superiors.

Li Yongcai didn't care if he was sent by the superior, what happened to the superior?If there is a mistake, one must also oppose it. Brigadier Li is not throwing his temper indiscriminately, because he knows that the policy of suppressing bandits at that time was right-leaning and too lenient. This mistake has to wait until 1950, one year after the founding of New China. It was only corrected after October, that is, the famous Double Tenth Agreement (the Double Tenth Agreement to eliminate banditry, not the Double Tenth Agreement negotiated by the KMT and the Communist Party), Li Yong didn't want to let the troops suffer because of random leniency. I don't know how to write it in our du li brigade's dictionary.

Is Li Yong acting stupid to drive away the observers sent by his superiors?Of course not, even though he didn't ask his superiors for instructions, Brigadier Li Da still has confidence in his heart. This confidence is the support of Commander Wang Zhen and Boss Peng.

Li Yong is not the only one who has opinions on the right-leaning and too lenient policy of suppressing bandits, including many leaders of the army and corps. However, given the general environment at that time, there is no way to change it. For the most grassroots combat units that can directly deal with bandits and spies, Li Yong adheres to the method of not asking for instructions, not reporting, and just doing without talking.

The reason for not asking for instructions is very simple. After asking for instructions, the superior has no way to answer. If you agree with the du li brigade’s approach, it will conflict with the policy at that time. If you disagree, you will feel sorry for your conscience and the local people who have been harmed by bandits and spies. .

In view of the situation at that time, Li Yong thought that since this was the case, it would be better not to ask for instructions. Commander Wang and Boss Peng both saw what the du li brigade did, and neither of them said anything to oppose or stop it. As a tacit consent, hehehehe - this is the confidence of Brigadier Li Da.

Time moved forward so slowly. On this day, a man wearing a new-style People's Liberation Army uniform, who looked like a commander, walked into the headquarters of the [-]st Battalion of the Du Li Brigade under the leadership of the security guards from the security squad.

The first battalion has long been released by the brigade to perform tasks alone, and has been away from the main force of the brigade for a while. This time, the battalion commander Li Jiangguo and their instructors are the masters of the house. In the words of the brigade commander Li Yong, Li Jiangguo is a good guy, with rich combat experience and a flexible mind, he can go out and stand alone.

Li Jiangguo is indeed good. He is an old eight-way soldier who joined the army very early. He has clear political thinking, quick-witted mind, and rich combat experience. The commander must be reassuring. Therefore, the first battalion is also the battalion farthest from the headquarters of the Du Li brigade.

The du li brigade's first-level battalion is very powerful. The composition of the personnel alone can surpass two battalions of other troops. Its strength has reached more than 1000 people, which is similar to that of the old Northwest Field Army regiment. There is no comparison, but even after such a unit is released, it still feels that there are too few people. The first battalion with more than 1000 people seems to have a lot of people, but once it is dispersed, it always feels that there are not enough people.

The staff is tense, too tense. To use Li Jiangguo's daily colloquial words, everything needs to be solved by people, and the battalion commander must make decisions on major and minor matters.

Lao Li was tired and afraid of the tedious things in the local work, so he complained, but it is true that the staff is tense. For this reason, the battalion commander Li Jiangguo also wanted to ask the brigade commander Li Yong and the political commissar Wang Chengde for help. support, but his idea was persuaded by the instructor and the deputy battalion commander in their battalion. The opinion of these two people was that the strength of the troops everywhere is tense now, and the strength of the brigade is not abundant. If you need support here, can the days of the brigade commander and political commissar survive! !

Li Jiangguo thinks about it too. Du Li brigade has released all five infantry battalions and one reconnaissance battalion to do mass work. The number of troops that can be concentrated in the brigade is less than half of what it used to be.

Xin Jiang has a vast territory, and the area is so large that each battalion needs to be responsible for a large area. Every family feels that there are not enough troops. According to the brigade commander, the left-behind personnel in the brigade headquarters are used as mobile forces Existence is prepared for emergencies, and cannot be used casually until the most critical moment. After thinking about this, Li Jiangguo no longer calls for support.

Li Jiangguo is not looking for support from his superiors, but it does not mean that others will not go to him. In the eyes of the local government and grassroots cadres, the first battalion of more than 1000 people is already a great force. The battalion commander Li Jiangguo He is a commander with heavy troops in his hand, and he is very powerful and reliable in the eyes of local cadres. Isn't that right? Someone came to the door. The person who was brought in by the Jingwei soldiers was a cadre who came to ask for support. .

The person who came was not very old, and looked less than 30 years old. It can be said that he was the same age as Li Jiangguo. There was a shell gun and a leather briefcase slung sideways, and a pair of eyes were placed on his fair face. It was obvious at a glance that this was an intellectual who had read books and drank ink.

After a brief self-introduction, this commander-like person explained his intentions. His surname is Zhang, and he is the captain of a work team. He was assigned by his superiors to do local work in a small county named Yiwu. Also help to carry out mass activities.

What is worrying is that he only has more than 50 people in his hands, and half of the more than 50 people are student soldiers who have just joined the army. There are less than 30 combatants, and the weapons are very simple. According to intelligence, Igo’s social situation is very chaotic, and various relationships are intricate. I feel that their work team of more than 50 people is too weak to deal with special situations, so Zhang The captain wants to ask the main force for some support, and send some troops to go with them to Igo to carry out the mission.

Here comes the problem. Captain Zhang of the work team found Li Jiangguo because there was only one battalion of regular troops of the People's Liberation Army nearby, and the only way to ask for military support was to go to them.

Supporting local work is one of the tasks of the army. The brigade commander Li Yong and the political commissar Wang Chengde both explained before leaving that Captain Zhang's request was understandable and normal, but the battalion commander Li Jiangguo made a difficult decision.

The first battalion is far away from the brigade headquarters. Needless to say, it takes two or three days to travel by car. There is no radio station in the battalion, and the wired telephone has not yet had time to connect. When the battalion is already very tense How to support local work has become a big headache for Li Jiangguo.

Poor communication has always been a weakness of the PLA, and the du li brigade is the same. Although a few radio stations have been seized in the brigade, it is impossible for every battalion to equip them. Radio operators with codes are even more precious. I can't afford to lose any of my treasures, so as long as the troops are scattered alone, they can only perform tasks by du li. Most of the time it depends on the experience, will and determination of the fighters.

(Even common communication equipment such as walkie-talkies are treasures among the treasures in the troops of the People's Liberation Army. In the early days of the Korean War, a large part of the troops entering North Korea could only equip each battalion with patchwork. With a walkie-talkie, the subordinate companies and platoons really have no choice.)

Li Jiangguo has a headache. How good it was when he was with the main force of the brigade. The brigade commander and the political commissar decide what happens. As a battalion commander, he just fights, executes orders, trains when he has no tasks, and trains when he is tired Eat and sleep, work is simple and fulfilling, don't worry about it, now it's good, the battalion commander has to get the charter for the big things, just a few days after I started, I ran into such a thing, support, not enough troops, If you don't support it, then it's even worse. Do you want to see dozens of people in the work team take risks?This is not the style of our PLA! !

Hey, damn it, they all said to stand alone, but it's really not easy to do it alone. Li Jiangguo wandered around the room, and finally said to Captain Zhang: "Excuse me, our battalion I can't get in touch with the brigade department for a while, and I can't ask for instructions, so we have to discuss it. Thank you old guys for your support. (To be continued. You are welcome to subscribe and reward. Your support is my greatest power.)
