The beacon of youth

() Yiwu was besieged by bandits for more than 20 days. After many battles, Yilier, Aibaidula and other bandit leaders came up with a way. They wanted to take advantage of the special geographical conditions to take the Beishan position first, and then use the height Take the upper hand to conquer Yiwu County.

After the bare Beishan position was blocked by the bandits, a very difficult problem was placed in front of the deputy battalion commander Hu Qingshan. The Beishan position was short of supplies.

Lack of food, lack of ammunition, and what is even more difficult is the lack of drinking water on the mountain. In order to transport supplies to the mountain, many soldiers and animals carrying supplies have been killed or injured in the past few days. What a good way to do it, just when everyone was stamping their feet and scolding their mothers anxiously, an old squad leader surnamed Yang came over and asked for a task.

It is reasonable to say that it is a happy thing for an old soldier to ask for a task, but Hu Qingshan is not happy because he dare not let this old soldier perform such a dangerous task.

Old Squad Leader Yang was brought back by the political commissar Wang Chengde when he went to a meeting with his superiors. To be more clear, the superior sent Squad Leader Yang to the ** brigade to provide for the elderly, so that this experienced veteran could spend his days in the army. You can relax a little bit. . .

An old soldier from the Red Army had long been a senior commander in other units, but there was such a strange phenomenon in the Northwest Field Army. This very old veteran was still a soldier and a soldier.

The man was brought back, but how to arrange for this old soldier took a lot of thought from Li Yong and Wang Chengde, the old Red Army who climbed over the snow-capped mountains and walked through the grass! ! !Those are all admirable existences, what position do you give when you come to the ** brigade?What should I do?

After thinking about it, I really came up with a solution. The baggage battalion of the ** brigade is the largest battalion in the whole brigade, and it also manages all the belongings of the whole brigade. Various messy tasks are extremely cumbersome. I was so busy all day long that I wanted to send a deputy battalion commander to the brigade to help with the work. Because the ** brigade has been marching and fighting non-stop for a long time, I have never found a suitable candidate for the position of deputy battalion commander. Well, this time a guy came to the old Red Army, Li Yong and Wang Chengde combined, and he just happened to be the deputy battalion commander.

The deputy battalion commander of the supply battalion has no combat missions, so he is not in any danger. It is in line with the wishes of the superiors to send him to the ** brigade for retirement. He can also help the battalion commander Sun Quanhou and the instructor He Cuihua. Li Yong and Wang Chengde arranged It should be called killing two birds with one stone, which seems to be very good.

Squad Leader Yang is a real veteran, not only in the Second Army, but also in the entire field army. He is very familiar with many senior commanders. Not only Commander Wang Zhen knows him, because he is the Second Red Army Even the boss He Longhe knew the old soldier. Before he came, Wang Enmao, the political commissar of the Second Army, told Wang Chengde that this old guy had a bad temper and loved to fight, and he didn't want to be an official. There is no other way, as he is getting old, he has no choice but to let him go to your military brigade for the elderly, and you will hold him accountable anyway.

Political Commissar Wang Enmao of the Second Army wanted Squad Leader Yang to go to the ** brigade with relatively better conditions for retirement, but the old Squad Leader Yang did not accept this kind of favor. He was not interested in Wang Enmao’s explanation. 40 years old, not old at all, I went to the ** brigade to fight, I heard that these boys fought well, so I, an old guy, competed with them.

Old Squad Leader Yang didn't take his identity seriously, but Li Yong and Wang Chengde didn't dare to send this old Red Army to the front-line combat unit. The battalion commander was gone, but Old Squad Leader Yang murmured privately: "Damn, I originally wanted to fight in the ** brigade, but I didn't expect to get an official position. What's the matter?"

Others are happy to be promoted, but Squad Leader Yang is extremely disdainful of being the Deputy Battalion Commander of the ** Brigade, as if being the Deputy Battalion Commander is giving Li Yong and Wang Chengde a big face.

Li Yong and Wang Chengde were very happy. It was a good thing for the young army of the ** brigade to have an extra veteran in the army.

The old Red Army soldiers are one of the foundations of the army, and they are amazing existences in every army. In the future, when the members of the ** brigade go out, they can also brag with other brother troops. What's wrong, we** Although the brigade was established late, there are old Red Army soldiers in the brigade, and they also have senior qualifications, not much worse than you.

But what Li Yong and Wang Chengde didn't expect was that this old Squad Leader Yang was really not a peaceful leader. After staying in the ** brigade for a few months, he became a little annoyed. He was restless all day long and had no mood to do anything At work, the battalion commander Sun Quanhou and the instructor He Cuihua both asked him: "The conditions of our ** brigade are so good, why is the old ** unhappy?"

Squad Leader Yang replied eloquently: "I came here to see how you fight, not to raise your uncle. To tell you the truth, there are plenty of troops going to Xinjiang. If there is no war, why would I come to your ** brigade, hmph."

Although Squad Leader Yang is just a deputy battalion commander, his position is lower than that of Sun Quanhou and He Cuihua, but the two chief officers of the supply battalion can't control him, and they dare not control him. Although this guy is not an official, but even our Second Army Wang Enmao's political commissar calls him the old squad leader, so what do you let others care about! !Based on this qualification, the two chief officers of the supply battalion were like new recruits in front of him, and they couldn't put on airs as battalion commanders and instructors at all. Battalion commander Sun Quanhou was not too young, so he was better in front of Squad Leader Yang. Instructor He Cuihua was regarded by Lao Yang as his own daughter, and the two chief officers of the supply battalion had to report the situation to the brigade headquarters because of the barking of girls all day long. We just can't figure it out.

Li Yong had no choice but to come forward and ask Squad Leader Yang to explain: "I said, old man, big brother, you can rest assured. At this stage, the army does not have a battle plan. Our central task is to mobilize the masses and carry out local work. Don't worry. As long as you stay in the ** brigade, you will definitely have a chance after the war."

Persuaded by Li Yong, Squad Leader Yang decided to continue staying in the ** brigade, which was regarded as a face for Li Yong, the brigade commander. But when every infantry battalion had to perform tasks alone, he found another Li Yong and Wang Chengde said that they wanted to go to the front-line combat troops to see what they said, and they also said that they were really unhappy staying in the brigade headquarters to manage the luggage, and it hurts to be idle.

Li Yong and Wang Chengde had no choice but to ask Squad Leader Yang to go to the first battalion in Li Jiangguo. The task of the first battalion was only to mobilize the masses and clear the bandits and suppress the guns. There should be no danger. Lao Yang, who lived there, went to relax.

What people didn't expect was that after a few days, the old squad leader Yang couldn't stay in the battalion headquarters of the first battalion. He told the battalion commander Li Jiangguo and the instructor: "I said two boys, what kind of shit battalion are you guys?" Ah, there are more than 1000 people in a battalion, which is almost the same as a regiment. I still can’t get a fight, so you quickly send me to the next level of troops, and it’s best to get me in the squad.”

Li Jiangguo has a big head, and even Li Yong, the brigade commander, can't provoke Lao Yang. In front of the squad leader, you are nothing. In front of the old Red Army, no matter how old you are, you are still a recruit.

Just when Lao Yang was messing around, a work team came to the first battalion and asked to send troops to Yiwu for support. It was Hu Qingshan, the deputy battalion commander, who asked for it on his own initiative, so he asked Lao Yang, the squad leader, to go with us. Live at any rate and do some local work.

No one thought that there would be such a big battle in the Yiwu area, even Hu Qingshan, the deputy battalion commander who agreed to let Squad Leader Yang go with him. The county seat has come to this dangerous place full of dangers.

After the battle started, Lao Yang has always been assisting Hu Qingshan in commanding the battle. The soldiers from the old Red Army have extremely rich combat experience, and Hu Qingshan can be regarded as an extremely skilled assistant.

Seeing the difficulties in the Beishan position, Lao Yang saw the increasing casualties of the soldiers on the mountain, so he took the initiative to ask Ying to complete this task: "Let me come, and I will be responsible for replenishing the comrades on the mountain. "

Squad Leader Yang’s request shocked Hu Qingshan a lot. Isn’t this a joke? Whoever is sent to the squad cannot let Squad Leader Yang complete such a task. The bullets don't care if you are an old Red Army veteran or not, they will kill people just the same. Once something happens to Lao Yang, how can you explain to your superiors? The old Red Army sacrificed?Who can do this.

Lao Yang saw Hu Qingshan's concerns, he pulled Hu Qingshan aside and said: "Qingshan, don't think that I am an old Red Army or not, I am also a soldier under your command, and I should die when I am a soldier. Yes, I didn't ask you for a mission indiscriminately, but my certainty is greater than others."

Squad leader Yang didn't have a sudden rush of enthusiasm. The old squad leader had long passed the age of recklessness. He came to ask for the task because he still had a hole card in his hand, a red jujube horse.

This jujube walking horse is not simple. Like Squad Leader Yang, it is an old lady who came from a very early age. The jujube walking horse has gone through the eight-year war of resistance, the long march of thousands of miles, and the magnificent war of liberation. He has been honed in the war to be extremely spiritual, and he was inseparable from the old squad leader during the Red Army period, and he is the beloved comrade-in-arms and brother of squad leader Yang.
