The beacon of youth

After the Eighteenth Army gained a foothold in Qamdo, an enlarged meeting of the party committee was held to discuss the next actions.

However, the atmosphere of the meeting was a bit weird. In the past, when the troops held meetings, they would talk together in high spirits. Not only did he not make a sound, but he also seemed to be cross-eyed.

Most of the people who came here were meeting for the first time. They had only heard about each other before. They heard that the superior had transferred an independent brigade from the Northwest. It seemed that they were still good at fighting. It was said that they were also very good.

When it comes to fighting, some people are even more upset. Several commanders of the [-]th Army looked at the Independent Brigade with cold faces.

No wonder they were unhappy. Several main regiments of the [-]th Army fought hard and quickly, and in order to catch up with the fleeing Tibetan troops, the soldiers suffered a lot. After bubbling, no one complained of suffering or tiredness, but what happened in the end?Seeing that the enemy was about to be encircled, a message came, saying that the independent brigade from the northwest had encircled all the enemies, and they had nothing to do, so they could rest in place.

His grandma's, this is trying to piss people off, why did they come all the way here?It is to kill the enemy and make meritorious service, but what is the result?He started marching all the way from the bank of the Jinsha River, walking tens of kilometers of mountain roads every day, but in the end he didn’t even eat a single fart, let alone eating soup and eating meat to make meritorious deeds. I don’t know where the independence came from. The brigade did not wait for the order to encircle the enemy with them, but went it alone, and all the fleeing enemies were dealt with before they reached the ground.

After hearing the news, the troops who marched in a hurry almost got their noses twisted. They ignored the orders of their superiors and went it alone.On a larger scale, the Independent Brigade disobeyed the orders of its superiors and disobeyed the command, which is absolutely not allowed.

This is not over yet, the always stern army commander and political commissar seemed to be okay. Not only did they not scold their mothers, but they also made a whole army circular to praise, saying that the independent brigade fought well and would catch fighters and send them away a few days later. The group just stood aside and ignored it, and no one would feel good about this matter.

The people from the Independent Brigade who came to the meeting were also a little apprehensive looking at the veterans not far away.It can be seen from the age that they are all serious old revolutionaries, seniors, but why do many of these seniors have ugly faces? ?The eyes looking at them are also cold.

In terms of qualifications, the Independent Brigade is not without old people.There are also two old Red Army soldiers among the tens of thousands of people in the whole brigade, and one is Lao Yang, the deputy battalion commander of the supply battalion.Another is Zhou Daxing, the instructor of the engineering company.These two are veterans of the Red Army who came from the Long March, and they are authentic veterans. However, the army held an enlarged meeting of the party committee above the regiment. The position of the Red Army is still not enough.

Gone are the two old Red Army town scenes.Compared with the [-]th Army, people like Li Yong are completely juniors. Wang Huhu, the commander of the Fifth Battalion who used to look very old, and Sun Quanhou, the battalion commander of the Supply Battalion, are not enough.

Why did some commanders of the Eighteenth Army look at them cross-eyed?Others don't know the reason, but it's impossible for Li Yong, the brigade commander, not to know.But Brigadier Li can only smile wryly in his heart, he already knew that he offended someone, and now he can only straighten his head.

People have a habit of looking at each other if they are unhappy, and they don’t like it anyway. The twenty or so young people in the independent brigade each wear a telescope, the leather boots on their feet are very shiny, and the The lighter clicked brightly, the cigarettes in his mouth were puffing, and several guys still had American-style cantaloupe grenades hanging on their shoulders.

Damn, is this still our People's Liberation Army team?It is on par with the Kuomintang troops.

The meeting hadn't officially started yet, but the atmosphere in the venue was very depressing, which made the independent travellers, who were used to messing around together, very uncomfortable. In addition, they were all young, and they gradually lost control, talking and laughing. Of course, it was the members of the Independent Brigade who were laughing and laughing together, and there was a girl with a particularly crisp voice who was giggling.

Things are a bit weird, the [-]th Army and the Independent Brigade are the main combat troops of the field army, and the battle meeting is held with the participation of senior commanders, the voice of the girl who appeared in the meeting place is particularly surprised and prominent.

Following the crisp laughter, there was a young girl participating in the group of people who came to the meeting from the Independent Brigade. Judging by the delicate appearance of this girl, she was just in her early 20s.

A girl in her early 20s came to the military meeting of the senior commander? ?What is the reason?Did the Independent Brigade get the content of the meeting wrong?People who don't understand ask questions.

Needless to say, the one who spoke with a crisp voice must be He Cuihua, the instructor of the independent brigade's supply battalion, and also the youngest battalion commander in the independent brigade. How could she be missing on such an occasion.

People who have been rolling around in the war environment all year round are very angry, and they can't put their minds on things. A commander of the [-]th Army really couldn't get used to it, so he stood up and shouted loudly:

"Hey, let me tell you what's going on with your independent brigade. We're holding a military meeting, not a play house. Why do we have a woman here? I want to play a white-haired girl and let her go to the art troupe."

With a loud voice, everyone in the independent brigade was stunned by the question, because He Cuihua participated in the previous meetings of the independent brigade as a natural role, an active figure in the venue, without her, everyone might still feel that there is something missing Well, today is a good day, people from the [-]th Army have come to question me.

He Cuihua is 22 years old this year, the same age as the brigade commander Li Yong, and only a few months younger than Li Yong. In private, she calls him brother. She joined the revolution in her teens. Although she is young, she has a lot of qualifications. The war career has trained He Cuihua to be a witty, brave and experienced PLA grassroots commander

In the big family of the Independent Brigade, He Cuihua was given thumbs up whether she was doing logistics work or commanding battles on the front line. She was a well-known celebrity who was well-known throughout the brigade.

He Cuihua was taken aback by the questioning of the commander of the [-]th Army, but this hot-tempered girl immediately realized that she didn't care who the other party was.Can you talk nonsense?Besides, no matter how old you are, can you still have those chief elders in the central government?

He Cuihua has a certain confidence. Regardless of her young age, she has seen many chiefs. She has met Mao Zedong and Vice Chairman Zhou. Because she lives very close to Yan'an, she has also met many senior commanders of the People's Liberation Army. In terms of qualifications, there are not many people in the Independent Brigade who can match her, and neither is Li Yong, the brigade commander. So, regardless of her young age, this girl has no big scenes. Rarely, the veteran of the [-]th Army on the opposite side really couldn't restrain her.

He Cuihua stood up abruptly, and shouted to the opposite side: "What are you talking about, what's wrong with women? Why can't women come to the meeting? What kind of white-haired girl are you? I'm the commander of the combat unit, not much worse than you."

Some of the commanders of the Eighteenth Army replied, "Hey, the little girl is quite tempered. This is the battle meeting of our Eighteenth Army. Tell me, what qualifications do you have to attend?"

The army is very particular about seniority. People in the [-]th Army think that she is too young, and she is a girl, so how good can she be.

He Cuihua, who went to the mountains to fight guerrillas at the age of 15, has never been underestimated, and now she is really angry. The girl poked her neck and said:

"My name is He Cuihua. I'm 22 years old. I'm the instructor of the Independent Brigade's Supplies Battalion. Our battalion has [-] troops, no less than one of your regiments. How about it? Are you qualified for the meeting?"

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the meeting became chaotic before the meeting. He Cuihua's words were very stimulating. It is really unheard of for a girl to manage a logistics camp with 3000 people.

He Cuihua's crisp voice sounded again abruptly: "Aren't you a little unconvinced? If you don't believe me, you can visit after the meeting and gain some insight, hum."

This is very hard to say, so hard that the nerves on the foreheads of the commanders of the 3000th Army who are picky are about to jump up. This little girl is not forgiving at all. I just don't believe it.

Hahahaha, a burst of hearty laughter came, the door curtain was raised, Commander Zhang Guohua and Political Commissar Tan Guansan walked in with several military personnel, Commander Zhang Guohua said as he walked:

"If you don't believe it, you have to believe it. The supply camp of the Independent Brigade is indeed like this. This girl is not lying."

Seeing the army commander and the political commissar come in, the meeting room immediately fell silent, and He Cuihua also sat down a bit embarrassed, bowed her head and remained silent.

Commander Zhang, Political Commissar Tan and several heads of the military department looked at each other for a few moments, then smiled knowingly, and it was Commander Zhang Guohua who said:

"Before the meeting, I will make a decision. Anyone of you who is not convinced can go to the Independent Brigade to visit and see how their logistics is managed. The battalion commander and instructor of their supply camp are here. Can you ask for advice?"

The meeting room was once again in chaos, full of chaos and confusion, some doubted and disbelieved, and some said that since the army commander said it, it must be true, and the people from the Independent Brigade who came to the meeting were all grinning Booing, these guys are very afraid that the matter is trivial, Li Jiangguo, the commander of the first battalion, and Ma Changsheng, the commander of the third battalion, quietly gave He Cuihua their thumbs up, muttering in their mouths: "Cow, what a fucking bull, dare to be different from the old man."
