The beacon of youth

Li Jiangguo is a soldier who can speak very well. His eloquence is very good. He immediately gave a general account of the combat situation of the spy company in recent months, and finally said: "Our company commander said before leaving that they are not going to fight the enemy head-on. I ran away because I was afraid of being encircled by the main force of our army. I wanted to escape to the three-side division as soon as possible, and then return to Ningxia and Qinghai after checking the situation. If I want to pass the three-side division, I have to go through the big desert. The most important things in the desert are water and food. What our company commander meant was to make trouble for the enemy, let them enter the desert without sufficient supplies, let the desert help us, and consume as much of the enemy's vitality as possible."

The commanders listened attentively until after Li Jiangguo finished speaking, the old general thought about it and said: "Continuously set up ambushes, surround the points to fight for reinforcements, attack east and west, very good, really good, your company commander is not easy, he is Which unit was transferred there, and what school did they graduate from?"

Hearing the commander's question, Li Jiangguo said a little embarrassedly: "Reporter, our company commander did not graduate from any military academy. I heard that he liked to read some old military books since he was a child and taught himself. He was not transferred from our main force. He ran out of the field hospital of the Kuomintang army, and was caught by me on the way. At that time, I was a platoon leader of our second regiment's guard company, and I caught him as a spy when I was performing a mission outside. This guy captured a company commander and came back."

The commanders all laughed after hearing Li Jiangguo's words, and one commander asked, "Since you captured him, are you convinced to let him be your company commander?"

Li Jiangguo replied: "It was our regimental commander's decision to let him be the company commander. Of course I am not convinced. Not only me, but everyone is not very convinced. Our regiment commander gave our company twenty veterans. There are several veterans among them. One platoon leader and deputy platoon leader, and the rest are squad leaders in the old army. Of course, everyone is not convinced by letting a captured Kuomintang deserter be the company commander. Our company commander also saw it, so he told us that he would be the three Yue’s company commander, after three months it will be up to everyone to decide whether to let him continue his job, and we are all convinced in less than a month after his training plan is released, there is really something in his stomach, and it is enough to be a company commander.”

The grey-haired old general said: "After your introduction, your company commander is really good. Does he have any plans? Let's hear it."

Li Jiangguo replied: "Reporter, I don't know what plans our company commander has, but there is one thing. When I came, he asked me to tell the head of the headquarters. Li Jiangguo scratched his head in embarrassment. Let me exchange the captive soldiers from the commander for some veterans to bring back, and I also said that at least ten should be exchanged for one to go back."

The leaders were all amused by Li Jiangguo again, and one leader said: "If you exchange ten for one, you will suffer a loss." Li Jiangguo replied: "Reporter, if you can exchange ten for one, you will not suffer a loss. The veterans of our company Too few. When we first established the cooking squad, there were only a dozen or so. Our company commander said that the proportion of prisoners in our company was too high. The combat effectiveness of the company will be greatly improved."

The old general turned around and said to one of the officers: "Since people have said so, let's not be too picky. Pick a hundred veterans from the team directly under them and ask them to bring them back. Didn't they bring back more than 600 horses? Just use them." The cavalry reconnaissance company of the headquarters formed the first cavalry regiment of our Northwest Field Army as the backbone."

Then he said to Li Jiangguo and Ma Quanyou: "The hundred soldiers given to you are all infantry, and you all came here on horseback. How do you march when you go back?"

Li Jiangguo replied: "Reporter, our company commander told us to teach the infantry comrades to ride horses along the way. As long as we return to our company, the horses are ready-made. Let them keep their weapons. When we got to the company, we were fine."

The leaders looked at each other, and one leader said: "Let them leave all their weapons, and you will be better off when you go back. Oh, what a big tone, are you all automatic weapons?" Li Jiangguo replied: "Reporter, we even They are all automatic weapons, you can go out and have a look."

The captain in the leather jacket said, "Boss, let's go out and have a look." The old general nodded to Li Jiangguo and Ma Quanyou and said, "Okay, you guys gather as a team and let's have a look."

Li Jiangguo and Ma Quanyou hurriedly turned around and ran out. In an instant, the team was assembled. The soldiers in the two platoons heard that there was a leader who wanted to see them. The submachine gun remained motionless, and queue training was a regular subject of the secret service company, which was unmatched by the entire field army. The soldiers in the second platoon stood neatly on two squares.

While talking, the leaders came out and came to the soldiers to watch them carefully. They were dressed in gray military uniforms, submachine guns, suede shoes, and combat helmets. The leaders circled around the two rows of soldiers for several times In a circle, the old general said to Li Jiangguo and Ma Quanyou: "It's ok, let the soldiers disband." Then he said to the guards around him: "Take them to eat and rest."

After Li Jiangguo and Ma Quanyou led the soldiers away, the elders said: "If only our entire field army could be equipped like this, the combat effectiveness would be doubled."

A long said: "I looked at it just now. They have four squads in each platoon. There are 58 people in each squad, and they resisted three Czechs. In this way, they have 46 people in a platoon, and there are twelve fighters in total." Light machine guns, 100 submachine guns, if they have this equipment in their entire company, the firepower will be quite powerful. They keep more than 100 prisoners themselves, and then transfer 800 people from the direct subordinate team to them, and the number of this company will reach more than [-] , this guy has already topped our two battalions."

Another leader said: According to intelligence and their battle summary, this company also has a heavy machine gun platoon and a mortar platoon. Such firepower equipment, even an ordinary regiment-level unit can't get cheap when they encounter them.

The grey-haired old general said: "If it's pure calculation of firepower, the two regiments of our field army are not as good as one of their companies, but fighting is not purely calculation of firepower, it also depends on the use of tactics and the cooperation of personnel. The more powerful they are, the better. Let's take a look at their future combat performance and let the headquarters staff pay more attention to the battle process of this small unit. I admire this company commander named Li Yong. He is young and full of wisdom. If he is well trained, he will be my A rare talent in the military."

In the approval of the elders, the old general said again: "There are more than 800 people, let alone company-level troops, tell the second column and give them a battalion number."

I still have a little to save for tomorrow, the time is too tight tomorrow, ha.
