The beacon of youth

It is said that Li Jiangguo and Ma Quanyou escorted more than 600 captives with horses and supplies on the second day after Li Yong and others left the station under the instructions of the instructor Wang Chengde, and headed towards the direction of the main force of the Northwest Field Army.

In Huanxian County, Longdong Plateau, a small courtyard house full of antennas is the temporary headquarters of the Northwest Field Army. The gray-haired old general took a telegram and said to the people around him: "Look, our There is another news from a small army."

A captain in a leather jacket took the telegram and read it and said: "Good guy, another cavalry regiment was wiped out and Qingyang City was liberated. It's not easy for hundreds of people to do such a big thing. This Is the commander very good, he should be rewarded."

The gray-haired old general said: "Yes, although this army is not big, it has helped the main force a lot. If they hadn't held back the enemy's cavalry, our logistics supply would have been a problem. We must reward them. , Tell Wang Huzi of Erzong that they have cultivated an army of heroes."

Another leader went on to say: "According to our intelligence, this small unit fought very well. Although the enemy was strong and we were weak in continuous combat, their casualties were not too great. This commander is really good. According to the scouts sent by our headquarters last time, this company commander named Li Yong is not yet 20 years old, when did such a young company commander appear under Huzi's subordinates?"

The grey-haired old general said: "It's a true hero. If we have a chance, let this Li Yong come to the headquarters once. Let's all see what our hero looks like."

While we were talking, a guard came in to report that a troop outside brought prisoners and some supplies to the headquarters. We asked the troop number, and they said it belonged to the special agent company of the second regiment of the second vertical and fourth brigade.

A commander suddenly remembered something and said: "The Special Agent Company of the Second Regiment of the Fourth Brigade, isn't this the designation of that small unit? It really means that Cao Cao will be here soon."

The gray-haired old general asked with interest: "Really? What did they get?" The guard replied: "They didn't know that this was the Nosi headquarters. It was just a coincidence that there were hundreds of prisoners. Each prisoner carried a few rifles with their bolts unbolted on their backs and led a horse, and immediately tied up a lot of supplies, the details of which were unclear, and the commanders who led the team were two platoon leaders."

The captain in the leather jacket said: "You arrange the captives and supplies, let the soldiers escorted take a good rest, and call the two platoon leaders in."

The guards had not been out for a long time. Li Jiangguo and Ma Quanyou came in after shouting a report. They were a little dumbfounded when they saw the room full of guards.

Both of them were wondering to themselves, where were they taken by the guards?It's a bit wrong, these commanders seem to be more powerful than the regimental commander and brigade commander, both of them are veterans, so the eyes are not in vain.

The people in the room are all senior commanders of the Northwest Field Army. Although they are all wearing the same ordinary gray military uniforms as the soldiers, and some of them have several patches on their bodies, the style they have developed over the years makes experienced people You can see that they are not ordinary people.

Li Jiangguo used to be a platoon leader of the second regiment's security company. He was a person who had seen a little bit of the world, but he had never seen so many captains. He could tell from his posture that they were all big captains. Jumping wildly, he was nervous even in the guards, Ma Quanyou was even worse, he was a little afraid to speak, the two hurriedly stood at attention and saluted, and then stood there like a stick, neither of them dared to speak.

The elders in the room watched the two of them around as if watching a western scene, and one elder asked: "What does it mean to wear leather shoes without leggings and hang grenades on both sides of the neck?" Li Jiangguo replied: "Reporting chief, the first First, you can bring two more grenades, and second, it is convenient to throw them out during the war.”

A chief asked again: "What's in your backpack?" Li Jiangguo and Ma Quanyou hurriedly put the backpack on the ground and opened it for the chief to check. Several chiefs took out all the things in the backpack with great interest. .

Several chiefs looked at the military blankets, first aid kits, dry food, water bottles, cigarettes and spare ammunition they took out, and said, "Are you rich, are other soldiers like this? How can you pack so many cigarettes, can you smoke?"

Li Jiangguo replied: "Reporter, this is the standard equipment of our company. Everyone is the same. We bring the cigarettes to the commanders. Our company commander said that there are many smokers in the headquarters. This is our company from Qing Dynasty. Captured from the regiment headquarters of the Yang enemy, let the elders taste it."

The leaders all laughed and said, "You little company commander, are you good at handling things? That's not enough for us." Li Jiangguo replied: "There are still a lot, enough for the leaders, and they are all in the hands of other soldiers." in our backpacks."

The chief in the leather jacket asked: "What else did you get back? Not just cigarettes." Li Jiangguo replied: "Reporting chief, there are more than 600 captives, more than 600 horses, and more than 1000 rifles and some food. list."

After speaking, he handed over a slip of paper, and the long man in a leather jacket took it and looked at it and said, "Boss, there are quite a few, take a look."

As he spoke, he handed the list to the gray-haired old general. The old general looked at the list and asked, "Why didn't your company commander and instructor come?"

Li Jiangguo replied: "Reporter, our instructors are training recruits, and our company has left a hundred prisoners. After training, they will be replenished to our company. Our company commander said that our company's heavy firepower will be strengthened. If No replenishment, insufficient personnel, the enemy still has three regiments of cavalry in the Qingyang area, the company commander took some of them to chase the remaining enemy troops, the company commander and the instructor were too busy to come.”

The old general asked again: "The enemy still has three regiments of troops, how dare you go after them? Aren't you afraid of being made dumplings by the enemy?"

Li Jiangguo replied: "Reporter, we are fine with our company commander here. It is too difficult to make our company commander suffer, and we cannot suffer."

The old general turned his head to look at the commanders around him and continued: "Oh, it seems that you have great confidence in your company commander. Is your company commander very good?"

Ma Quanyou, who had been silent for a long time, saw that the commander was very kind, and he was relieved and replied: "Reporting commander, our company commander has a lot of heart despite his young age. We killed three enemy regiments in a row. , a total of only a dozen soldiers were sacrificed, and more than 50 were injured, those enemies were not his opponents."

The old general smiled and said: "Really, you two told us how powerful your company commander is." It was written early in the morning, and the words were a little short, so the brothers will just read it.
