The beacon of youth

() Political commissar Wang Chengde's words made Li Yong gradually calm down, didn't he? Li Jiangguo is not an ordinary person. He has a flexible mind and rich combat experience. He doesn't know how to do stupid things. There should be a story in it.

"Okay, let the two of them hurry back, the sooner the better."

Li Jiangguo and the instructor of their battalion brought a guard squad of more than [-] soldiers and hurried back to the brigade headquarters. Now each infantry battalion headquarters of the du li brigade is also equipped with a large number of jeeps, Travel is very convenient.

The American-style jeep is very useful in this semi-desert and semi-Gobi terrain. The wheelbase is short, the turning is flexible, the engine is powerful, and the running speed is very fast. Sitting in a jeep with excellent shock absorption performance is a blessing. Yes, it's much better than riding a horse, but now the two chief officers of the first battalion sitting in the car are not in a good mood, and they seem to be unaware of whether the bottom of their buttocks is bumpy or not.

A few rushing jeeps kicked up a puff of sand and dust, and the tufts of camel grass in the desert were left far behind. The battalion commander Li Jiangguo was not like before. Joking with the soldiers, but Yin said nothing with a sullen face. The guard soldiers beside him knew why their battalion commander was upset, and none of them dared to talk to him. After a while, the instructor said: " Lao Li, the responsibility is not all yours alone, we both asked the brigade commander and the political commissar for punishment." ..

Li Jiangguo threw out his half-smoked cigarette butt, and replied sullenly to his instructor: "I am the battalion commander, and I made the decision. Of course I have to bear the main responsibility. Don't blame yourself for everything." Lan, I have to ask the brigade commander and the political commissar for punishment first, and then ask to lead the team to find Hu Qingshan, I don't believe it. That kid Lao Hu will die so easily, that kid has a hard life, and the Lord of the Underworld wants to take him. Think about it for a while, maybe he will lead the soldiers to rebel against Lord Hades when he goes."

The first battalion was too far away from the headquarters of the brigade, so far that it took more than a day to get there in a jeep. When they arrived at the headquarters of the brigade, they were even more disturbed, not knowing how the brigade commander and political commissar would deal with them.

Li Jiangguo and his trainer stood motionless at the door, and Li Jiangguo and his trainer stood there motionless. In the past, Li Jiangguo's yelling of reports was all nonsense, so he didn't care what the people inside agreed to.He stepped in a long time ago, and today this guy knows to be more careful, and has no intention of coming in at all.

Li Yong snorted and ignored the two, while political commissar Wang Chengde greeted them.Let Li Jiangguo and the trainer come in.

Seeing Li Jiangguo and the instructor of the First Battalion standing upright in front of him, Li Yong had no choice but to curse: "Stop standing there so fucking stupidly. Report the situation clearly. Let's study a solution."

Li Jiangguo recounted all the situations that happened before and after, and finally said: "Brigade Commander, our communication methods are too backward, and the troops are spread too far. The intervals should not be too far apart. Try to keep within the callable range of the wireless walkie-talkie, but a task force came temporarily to ask for help. Judging from their combat effectiveness at the time, the task force of dozens of people was the same as bean sprouts I have to explain if there is any trouble. The situation in Yiwu area is very complicated. Our battalion really has no choice but to let Hu Qingshan take two platoons to station with them in Yiwu County. When we set off, I temporarily strengthened an artillery squad for them With a machine gun squad, I thought at the time that with this strength, there should be no opponents in the Yiwu area, so I didn't take this matter too seriously. It wasn't until later when our battalion wanted to contact them that we found out that there was no opponent in the Yiwu area. The roads were all destroyed, the telephone lines were blown up, and only then did we realize that something was wrong."

Something is wrong, Hu Qingshan and the others must be in trouble. After Li Jiangguo's narration and the supplements of their battalion instructors, Li Yong and Wang Chengde finally figured out the matter. Li Yong thought about it for a while, and then looked at Turning to Wang Chengde, Wang Chengde met Li Yong's gaze and nodded and said, "Dayong, you make the decision."

Li Yong, who was supported by political commissar Wang Chengde, turned around and said to the brigade staff:

First, order Zhang Jinsong's reconnaissance battalion to use various means to quickly find out the situation of both the enemy and us in the Yiwu area, and whether the defenders sent by our department to Yiwu are still fighting the enemy.

Second, order the first battalion, second battalion, third battalion, fourth battalion, and fifth battalion to immediately stop local work and assemble to the location of the brigade headquarters.

Three, report the above situation to the army and the corps, and ask for instructions on the next task.

The du li brigade is a fighting force that has fought all the way. It is really reluctant to do local work, but there is no way. The superior said that we cannot fight for a lifetime, and local work must be done by someone. If everyone does not go to anyone go?

There is no other way, the subordinate units of the du li brigade had to be sent out to deal with local comrades, and to do some trivial work in their eyes. On this day, they suddenly received an order from the brigade headquarters to assemble immediately , These guys who are usually listless suddenly feel refreshed.

Good guy, here comes the task. Although no one knows what the task is, it is good to have a task, and it is better than dealing with the local people all the time. Everyone understands that local work is also very important, but I feel that there is no war in my heart. enjoyable.

The troops who received the order assembled quickly to the location of the brigade headquarters, but because the troops were sent out too far, it would take a while to gather the whole brigade. The brigade asked the battalions to assemble immediately, while the battalion asked the platoons and battalions to gather immediately. Squad assembly, weapons and equipment and personnel, plus the materials returned to the local government and local people, there are a lot of things in all aspects, and it is useless to worry. During this period, the reconnaissance battalion sent out countless tactical reconnaissance teams. Go to the Yiwu area with vehicles to scout the situation of both the enemy and us.

Just as the battalions, platoons, and squads of the du li brigade were continuously gathering at the brigade headquarters, the order from the superior arrived.

The meaning of the order generally has two points. One is to find out the situation immediately, and go to the rescue immediately if our Yiwu army is still fighting the enemy.

The second is that if all the two and a half platoons of the first battalion are found to have died, the du li brigade should not act rashly and wait for the next step from the superior.

The superior's order was not very clear, but only for the du li brigade to find out the situation immediately. If the Yiwu army persisted, it would go to the rescue immediately, and if all sacrificed, it would wait for further instructions from the superior.

Li Yong and Wang Chengde are both smart people. Although the superior's telegram did not clearly explain how to do it, the two of them also felt something. Although the situation was reported, the head department has not yet made up their minds to let the du li brigade set off immediately. Judging from one point, the main force may have major actions, and the Du Li brigade, an extremely mobile force, is also within the sight and consideration of the chiefs.

Two days later, several infantry battalions dispatched from abroad arrived one after another, and the du li brigade garrison was lively again. The soldiers were jubilant together, laughing and cursing, and old comrades were joking with each other. Some said: "Hey, you bastard! Why aren't you dead yet?"

The answer was even more interesting: "Damn it, Lord Yan dare not accept it, for fear that I will go and rebel against them."

The entire du li brigade's camp was boiling. Since it was assigned to carry out local work, it was the first time in several months that the whole brigade gathered together. Before, we were together every day, and we still didn't feel the difficulty of being separated. See you now After meeting, each of them complained a lot. Some people said how much peace of mind they had when they were with the brigade commander and political commissar, and some said that after leaving the main force, they always felt that there were not enough troops, and they were scratching their heads all day long. When everyone met and chatted, the reason for the troops' assembly was almost known to the soldiers.

The reason is very simple. There are more than [-] people missing from the first battalion. It is said that they were eaten by bandits in the Yiwu area.

This matter can't be hidden at all, and Li Yong and Wang Chengde didn't want to hide anything, this is good, there is no need to send any bandit notices and situation reports, word of mouth, the whole brigade waited tens of thousands Everyone knows.

It was as if a ladle of cold water was poured into a boiling oil pan, and it exploded with a bang, and the du li brigade was like a big furnace, with flames streaming upwards.

More than 200 people disappeared and were all eaten by bandits?It's not bad, how long has it been since our du li brigade suffered such a heavy casualty, that's all for a big battle, how can it be like this when fighting bandits?What did the first battalion commander and their trainers do?

The troops were excited and discussed a lot, and the focus was on the two chief officers of the first battalion. Ma Changsheng, the hot-tempered commander of the third battalion, found Li Jiangguo, pointed at his nose and shouted: "Li Jiangguo, you kid can still grow up!" Do you have more brains? More than 200 people just disappeared like this? Let the bandits wipe them out. Will you still be the battalion commander?

Li Jiangguo, who was usually sharp-toothed, seemed to have suddenly become stupid and stupid. Even though Ma Changsheng, an old bull tendon, yelled at him, he just kept silent.

It was still the Fifth Battalion Commander Wang Huo who couldn't see it anymore, Wang Huo pulled Ma Changsheng aside and said: "What are you yelling about, the brigade commander and the political commissar are here, don't follow me, what kind of person is Li Jiangguo? Am I still unclear?"

Wang Huo's words got everyone's approval, these old soldiers nodded frequently, what they said was good, Li Jiangguo is a very shrewd commander, he is one of the best guys in the entire du li brigade, he will not let the troops suffer, There must be some other reason for the disappearance of more than 200 people.

Ma Quanyou, Commander of the Second Battalion, Ning Jinshan, Commander of the Fourth Battalion, Wei Gang, Commander of the Machine Gun Battalion, and Gao Xiang, Commander of the Artillery Battalion, all came over together. Wang Huo patted Li Jiangguo on the shoulder: "Don't be discouraged." , if there is a situation, we will talk about it at the meeting later, and the brigade commander and political commissar have come."
