The beacon of youth

The hot-tempered He Cuihua threw a hard word, the seniors on the opposite side couldn't accept it, and the scene was chaotic.

Things have gotten a little out of control now, and He Cuihua doesn't know whether the shots she fired earlier were right or wrong, but this girl didn't think much about it, anyway, the words have already been spoken, so she can do whatever she likes.

I don't know why, but the chiefs of several military departments didn't stop them, but sat there patiently watching the commotion, watching the gangsters under them making noise there.

Something seemed a little wrong. Why did the chiefs of the military department, such as Commander Zhang and Political Commissar Tan, look at the chaotic venue and didn't stop it?What's going on, Li Yong and Wang Chengde both looked at each other, and Li Yong shrank his neck back, hehe, let's just watch the excitement.

From the moment they entered the conference room, Li Yong and Wang Chengde, the chief officers of the two independent brigades, didn't say a word, just sat there quietly watching other people's random discussions, and they didn't even intervene when He Cuihua fought hand-to-hand with each other.

Why don't you talk?It was because of his status. Li Yong was as old as He Cuihua, but he was the highest chief of the independent brigade. His status was different. He Cuihua could have conflicts with his opponents, and it didn't matter if they quarreled or fought, but he, Li Yong, was the brigade commander. No, it wouldn't be nice if the leader of the brigade got into a stalemate with his brother troops.

The reason why Wang Chengde didn't speak was the same as Li Yong's. He had more thoughts than others. The idea of ​​this authoritative political commissar in the independent brigade was to wait until the army commander and political commissar came out, and they could make as much trouble as they liked. If it doesn't work, he will stand up and smooth things over, and give the opponent's big brother a little face, won't it be enough.

But to the surprise of Li Yong and Wang Chengde, all the chiefs came out, but no one stopped them, not only did they not stop them.It seems to be still watching with relish.

Military chiefs like to watch two groups of people quarrel?No, there is a conspiracy, there must be a conspiracy. Commander Zhang and Political Commissar Tan are both human sperm among human sperm, so they must be playing some weird idea.

The Independent Brigade looked at a large group of people, but they didn't dare to quarrel with the old seniors on the opposite side. Even Li Jiangguo, the first battalion commander who was always quick-spoken, just groaned a few words without pain or itching. The calmer Fifth Battalion Commander Wang Huhu and the Fourth Battalion Commander Ning Jinshan and others have not said a word until now, only He Cuihua, who doesn't care, is still arguing with each other.

After arguing, He Cuihua saw that she didn't have many helpers.The girl got angry, and she pointed at Ma Changsheng, commander of the third battalion, Ma Quanyou, commander of the second battalion, Wei Gang, commander of the machine gun battalion, and Gao Xiang, battalion commander of the artillery battalion, who often joked with her.Zhang Jinsong, the battalion commander of the reconnaissance battalion, and others shouted:

"Why don't you guys speak? Are you dumb? Or are you frightened by them? Look at the bears of you guys, and see how I will sue you when I see Commander Wang."

Ma Changsheng and the others laughed wryly.Things are really difficult.Help her, offend the old man on the opposite side, if you don't help, she might say something when she sees Commander Wang in the future, you know, Commander Wang likes this girl very much.Because of the large age difference, the commander usually talks about her like a daughter.

Commander Zhang Guohua couldn't stand it any longer. He discussed with Commissar Tan in a low voice, and then looked around with his eyes.While looking at his mouth, he shouted:

"Hey, it's so noisy, why didn't I see Li Yong from your independent brigade, where did Li Yong go? It can't be that he didn't come!"

There was no other way, because there was no way to hide, so Li Yong had no choice but to lean out from behind political commissar Wang Chengde: "Haha, Commander, I've been here a long time ago. I'm waiting for you to have a meeting with the political commissar."

Commander Zhang Guohua: "Oh, it's already here, why don't you just ignore them arguing, isn't it fun?"

Li Yongxin said, "I don't care, I don't care. The chief officers of the three main divisions of the [-]th Army on the opposite side have arrived. There are six or seven division commanders and political commissars. With them, I dare to take care of them, but this cannot be said clearly." When he came out, he could only babble randomly: "Hehe, Commander, I want to take care of it, but I don't know where to start. Just after thinking about it, you and the political commissar came."

How could Army Commander Zhang Guohua not know what Li Yong was thinking? Although he and political commissar Tan Guansan were not present, the division commanders and political commissars of the 52nd and 53rd Divisions of the [-]th Army were there. With them present, it was really difficult for Li Yong to say anything.

Commissar Tan knocked on the table: "Okay, stop arguing, the meeting officially begins."

This sentence is the most effective, quarrels belong to quarrels, and you can't be distracted when talking about work.

Commander Zhang Guohua looked at a room full of people, and said with a straight face: "The political commissar and I understand the situation. Some people are dissatisfied with the Independent Brigade. They think that the Independent Brigade did not obey the command. Actions should be criticized, but after the incident, the political commissar and I not only did not criticize but also praised the Independent Brigade, so some people were not convinced and dissatisfied, and some people put face on the Independent Brigade, I wonder if I am right?"

No one said anything in the venue, but no one expressed their approval. Obviously, that's what people think. Commander Zhang Guohua laughed:

"I knew that some people were not convinced. They were not convinced that the Independent Brigade surrounded all the enemies, but who can blame this? Is it because the Independent Brigade ran fast? I don't think it's because the Independent Brigade ran fast, but you guys were responsible for the detour. The troops running slower than others are still not convinced, and blame them for encircling all the enemies, is there such a reason in the world?"

As soon as Commander Zhang’s words hit the ground, someone said: “Commander, I have an opinion. It’s not fair for you to say that. Our regiments are all marching on foot. As far as I know, the Independent Brigade marches mechanized. They have a lot of cars. faster than us."

This is what Commander Zhang Guohua wanted, and what he wanted was for his commanders to have doubts about the Independent Brigade, so that he could continue to explain his thoughts.

The battle of the Independent Brigade in Leiwuqi was very beautiful, and the enemy was completely wiped out at a very small price. This battle also shocked Commander Zhang Guohua and Political Commissar Tan Guansan. Why did the troops of the [-]th Army run so slowly? , Marching on foot is one, and the lack of food is the main reason.

Lighting a cigarette in his hand, Commander Zhang Guohua said softly: "I am the commander of the first army, how can I not understand the situation, your regiments march more than [-] kilometers on foot every day, and there is not enough food. , Vegetables are rare and in short supply, the oxygen content in the plateau area is not enough, and the food is not enough to eat, the troops are relying on a will to persevere, many soldiers have night blindness?"

After a question was asked, the meeting room fell silent, and many people bowed their heads at the words, especially the commanders of the [-]th Army who were still quietly wiping the tears from the corners of their eyes with their sleeves.

The [-]th Army is a heroic force and a force with great military exploits, but like all PLA troops, ineffective logistical support is a bottleneck for the combat effectiveness of the troops.

For a period of time, the [-]th Army has been marching and fighting non-stop, the troops have not been well rested, they are not adapted to the climate, the food is not enough, let alone vegetables, and in the plateau area, the seemingly common vegetable problem It would be fatal.

Soldiers who can't eat vegetables will suffer from night blindness due to insufficient vitamin intake in the body, and night blindness is a serious problem for the troops.

It was precisely because of these problems that Commander Zhang Guohua and Political Commissar Tan thought of the Independent Brigade. The Independent Brigade traveled all the way from the Northwest. The distance and danger of the march were no worse than those of the Eighteenth Army. Without these problems, why can quickly enter the battle, there is learning in it.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Commander Zhang Guohua patted the table:

"I've been quarreling for a while, and I'm still not familiar with each other. Let me introduce to you, Li Yong and Wang Chengde."

Li Yong and Wang Chengde, who were bowing their heads in reflection, suddenly heard the commander calling their names, and immediately stood up and shouted: "Yes."

Commander Zhang's voice sounded again: "These two are the brigade commander and political commissar of the independent brigade you have admired for a long time, and also the brigade commander and political commissar of an ace unit on the Northwest battlefield. Let's get to know each other."

Since entering the venue, Li Yong and Wang Chengde have been keeping a low profile. In addition, there are more than 20 people from the Independent Brigade, all of whom are young people in their twenties. Who is the chief and political commissar?

Li Yong and Wang Chengde got up and stood at attention to salute, and introduced themselves to the commander of the [-]th Army opposite: "My name is Li Yong (Wang Chengde) and I am the brigade commander (political commissar) of the Independent Brigade. Please give me your advice."

The oldest among the group of independent travelers is Jiang Tiexiong, the battalion commander of the tank battalion, and Sun Quanhou, the battalion commander of the supply battalion. Both of them are in their 30s. When Li Yong and Wang Chengde stood up, everyone was a little dumbfounded. The oldest in the independent brigade was not the brigade commander and political commissar, but the youngest.

There were three youngest members of the Independent Brigade who came to the meeting. One was He Cuihua, the instructor of the supply battalion, the second was Li Yuming, the instructor of the tank battalion, and the last was Li Yong, the brigade commander Li. All three were 22 or [-] years old.

It is possible to become a company commander or a battalion commander in your twenties, but it is a bit nonsense to say that you are a regimental commander (excluding the Red Army period, when there were 600 people in the Red Army, you could call a regiment). 22 Three-year-old brigade commander?There is only one copy in the first field, and it is estimated that there is no copy in the second field.

Everyone looked at Li Yong in the wrong way, but no matter what you think, Li Yong is standing there alive, and it was introduced by the army commander, and it cannot be faked.

Commander Zhang Guohua knew what the division commanders and political commissars under him thought, and he looked like this when he first met Brigadier Li Da. (To be continued..)
