The beacon of youth

Ning Erzi's phone call shocked the company commander again, because the order given to him by his superiors was to meet a brigade of the Yiye Brothers.

According to his understanding, a brigade with 6000 soldiers at the top of the sky may not be so many. It is impossible for an army of 6000 people to use [-] people as the vanguard, which made him preconceived that the first battalion and the engineering company All the troops of the entire independent brigade, and Li Jiangguo was the brigade commander of the independent brigade he was looking for.

"Comrade Ning Erzi, with two thousand people as the vanguard, how many people can you have as the main force of your brigade?" the company commander asked in doubt.

"It's okay to tell you. It's not a military secret. Our brigade has a total strength of more than 4000 troops. How about it, not a lot?" Erzi Ning's words were somewhat smug.

What is a lot? What he saw and heard made the company commander of the second field a little confused. A brigade produced more than 4000 people! !There are more fucking people than one of our divisions. You know, our 52nd Division is not only the main division of the [-]th Army, but also the famous main force of Erye. It is full of personnel and equipment, but it is just like this The full-staffed main division can't compete with a brigade from the Northwest in terms of number of personnel. When did Yiye become so powerful! ! !

In the midst of doubts and confusion, the vanguard troops passed by, and there was a gap between the first echelon and the main force of the brigade. Erzi Ning introduced the company commander. What we saw was the first echelon, and we were the ones who came behind. The brigade's main force, the large force is coming soon.

While the two were talking, there was a burst of rumbling motor roaring sound from a distance, the sound became louder and louder, from far to near, so loud that even the ground vibrated, as if there was an invisible force .Pass it on before seeing the figure.

The reconnaissance company commander of Erye is a very experienced veteran soldier. He knows that this is the sound made by armored troops walking, or the sound that can only be made by large-scale armored groups. This is a sound that can be produced by the soul. The power of shock.

The tank battalion of the independent brigade was at the forefront of the brigade's main force. The brigade commander Li Yong's tactical arrangement was that once the avant-garde troops were in trouble, the tank battalion could immediately go up to support them, and use their steel bodies to smash all obstacles.

The instructor of the tank battalion, Li Yuming, still followed the old rules, leading the battalion with an M4 tank platoon.This guy exposed half of his body outside the turret of the tank, and he led his tank troops forward in a crushing manner.

Suddenly, Li Yuming's eyes swept away, and he saw Erzi Ning and his jeep parked on the side of the road. Li Yuming was a little strange. Didn't Erzi Ning serve as a vanguard for the large army at the forefront?Why did you run back.

Li Yuming, standing on the tank, shouted loudly, "Second son, why are you back?"

In the huge roar.Ning Erzi made his hands into the shape of a trumpet and yelled: "I'll come back and report the situation to our brigade commander. Li Yuming, you are too good, be careful that a big rock falls from the sky and smashes your head."

Compared with those commanders from the old Eighth Route, Ning Erzi dared to joke with Li Yuming, a guy who joined the army a few days earlier than him. Li Yuming yelled nonchalantly:

"Second son, who is our old Li? Brawny and iron-headed, if you want to report, hurry up and leave, so as not to get farted behind our tank troops, hahahaha."

After shouting.The arrogant Li Yuming led the tank troops rumbling forward, the dust from the caterpillar belts was thrown into the air, and the second son Ning and the company commander were also taken away.

The reconnaissance company commander has seen the world and is an elite in various units, but just like that, this company commander was also a little confused, and it took a long time for the company commander who came with Ning Erzi to respond Come over: "Comrade Ning Erzi, is this also the tank of your brigade?"

Obviously, Erzi Ning is very familiar with the surprise of the comrades in the brother army, because he is used to such things: "Of course, this is the tank battalion of our brigade. They used to belong to the Kuomintang, and later they all became the People's Liberation Army. Just now and I'm talking about their Battalion Instructor, and a very good fighting hero."

Damn it, the company commander couldn't help but swear: "Comrade Ning Erzi, where did your brigade get so many tanks? It doesn't look like it's a tank battalion at all. It's almost a tank regiment."

"Comrade company commander, didn't I tell you that our brigade has a larger establishment than other troops, and we are called the tank battalion. This is what our brigade commander said, and no one else recruited."

Behind the tank battalion is a continuous marching team. This is the main force of the independent brigade. The previous echelon is just a drizzle.

When Gao Xiang's heavy howitzer unit drove over, the reconnaissance company commander who came to report was stunned again. He counted the number of artillery pieces being towed by the truck one by one. After counting, the old scout didn't know how to get there Ask Ning Erzi, what is this?Is it also a battalion?

Ning Erzi was really understanding, and explained to him from the side, did you see, this is the artillery battalion of our brigade, isn't it awesome?

The company commander was so angry that he wanted to scold someone, this guy shouted: "Comrade Ning Erzi, I am doing reconnaissance, I counted the number of your artillery, there are more than one hundred large-caliber heavy artillery, such a scale Also called the Artillery Battalion? Damn it is even more powerful than the Artillery Regiment of our [-]th Army."

The triumphant Ning Erzi continued to introduce him: "Did you see those big guys? That is the largest heavy-duty howitzer in our brigade, with a caliber of 150 mm. Is the city wall of Lanzhou powerful? Is the Majia army stubborn? Still the same It was collapsed by our artillery fire and hit Lanzhou, and our brigade was the first to rush in."

The Battle of Lanzhou was very difficult, and Erye, who was a brother army, had heard about it from the battle reports, but the company commander never expected that what he encountered was the most heroic army in that battle.

Ning Erzi standing by the side of the road was very conspicuous. Gao Xiang, the artillery battalion commander, also saw him and waved his hand to greet him. Ning Erzi introduced the passing troops and commanders to the company commander next to him. All the commanders of the troops are waving or shouting at Erzi Ning, like Ma Quanyou, Commander of the Second Battalion, Ma Changsheng, Commander of the Third Battalion, and Ning Jinshan, Commander of the Fourth Battalion. Brother, only the Fifth Battalion Commander Wang Huhu didn't say anything, and nodded with the second son Ning beside the road.

It can be seen that although Erzi Ning's rank in the independent brigade is not high, he is only a platoon leader, but he is very popular and well-known. The company commander praised: "Comrade Ning Erzi, you are doing well. So many commanders are greeting you."

As the reconnaissance platoon leader, Ning Erzi was in high spirits, and proudly said to the company commander:

"It's nothing special. Although we are just a small platoon leader, our time as a soldier is not short. I was there when our brigade just started. We are veterans. Well, the brigade headquarters will be here soon. Let's Get ready to meet the chief."

While the two were talking, a dozen or so small jeeps drove over. The dozen or so jeeps turned from the marching queue of the brigade and stopped in front of Ning Erzi.

Ning Erzi pulled the somewhat silly reconnaissance company commander, and said in a low voice, "Don't be stupid, the real brigade commander has arrived."

Straightening their hats, the two of them touched their heels, stood at attention and shouted together: "Report to the brigade commander and political commissar, to reconnaissance a platoon of Chang Ning's second son. The reconnaissance company commander of the [-]th Army has been ordered to come, please give instructions."

Li Yong and Wang Chengde jumped out of the car, and Ning Erzi hurriedly introduced to Li Yong: "Brigade Commander, a reconnaissance company of the [-]th Army met us in front, and they are all on standby in front of the main building."

Looking at the reconnaissance company commander of the brother army standing in front of him, Li Yong asked a few questions calmly: "What are the names of the commander and political commissar of your [-]th army? Which division do you belong to? What are the names of the division commander and deputy division commander?" name?"

Because the two armies had never met, Li Yong wanted to investigate the company commander out of caution.

"Reporting to the chief, our army commander is Zhang Guohua, our political commissar is Tan Guanshan, our reconnaissance company belongs to the 52th Regiment of the [-]nd Division, the division commander's name is Wu Zhong, and the deputy division commander is Yinfatang."

After answering the question, Li Yong also showed a smile on his face. It is true that the troops sent by the brothers' troops are right.

In fact, what is the name of the last deputy division commander in Li Yong's few questions is the most critical. Many people know the name of the commander of the 52th Army, but not many know the name of the division commander of the [-]nd Division, and the name of the deputy division commander is even less Several people knew that even if this reconnaissance company was disguised by the enemy, it was impossible to find out the name of a deputy division commander. Those who could name the deputy division commander Yin Fatang must be veterans in the army.

The reconnaissance company commander took a step forward: "Chief, I was expecting you. After we received the order from our superiors, we rushed all the way here, trying to lead the way for you. I am afraid that you will suffer losses when you cross the mountain pass. The order given to me by our division commander Yes, even if the horse ran to death, we must arrive in time, but unfortunately we are still one step too late, and by the time we get here, you have already passed the big mountain pass."

Political commissar Wang Chengde waved his hand: "It doesn't matter, it's not too late for you to come now, we passed the mountain pass smoothly, and we didn't suffer any losses, but we still received the friendship of the brother army, and you can go to our supply unit later, if you need it We will be satisfied with what we add.”

Wang Chengde was very careful. He knew that the logistics of the [-]th Army was not good, and the food supplies were not in place. It was not a day since the reconnaissance company came out.

It really made Wang Chengde guess that the reconnaissance of the [-]th Army has enough weapons and ammunition. The only thing they can't do is food. They are about to run out of food. After today's dry food is eaten, tomorrow's still don't know where to replenish it Well, the words of political commissar Wang Chengde were like a timely rain, which opened up the company commander's heart.
