The beacon of youth

Li Yong mentioned the Huaihai Campaign and Chief of Staff Li Da, which made the commanders of the [-]th Army very excited, because Chief of Staff Li Da was from the Second Field. It's the truth, but I just don't understand from what channel this young man learned the truth.

Needless to say it was them, the people in the Independent Brigade were also very puzzled. Of course they all knew about the Huaihai Campaign, and they also reported it after the victory of the battle. How did one of the brigade commanders know.

If you don't understand it, you don't understand it. There are often things that the soldiers don't understand about Brigadier Li Da. People in the independent brigade are used to it, so they don't take it as a thing.

Army Commander Zhang Guohua and Political Commissar Tan called Li Yong and Wang Chengde in front of them. The two main leaders of the [-]th Army couldn't let go of one thing. Many soldiers in the army suffered from night blindness. They wanted to ask Do Li Yong and Wang Chengde have any good ideas?

Wang Chengde looked at Li Yong, and the meaning was very clear. Among the more than 1 people in the Independent Brigade, Li Yong, the brigade commander, must have the most messy ideas. Method.

The problem is obvious. To solve the night blindness of the soldiers, we must increase the intake of vitamins. In the Tibetan plateau area, because the cost of production and transportation is too high, vegetables are more expensive than meat. There is a familiar saying that the rich People eat vegetables, but poor people eat meat.

The extremely inconvenient transportation has caused a lot of trouble for the army to travel. The [-]th Army has a large scale, and the demand for any item of materials is not a small amount. It is simply a challenge to ask the superiors to allocate a large amount of vegetables from the rear. Things that are unimaginable may rot before they are transported to the ground.

Is there no way?Of course not, although Tibetan areas are bitterly cold.But it is not a barren land. There are a large number of ethnic minorities living there, and their bodies are very healthy. Li Yong has the advantage of being a latecomer. He knows how the local people solve this problem.

"Commander, I have studied the eating habits of the local people. The local people are used to drinking a kind of "milk" tea, and the "milk" tea contains a lot of nutrients that are beneficial to the body. It is the eating habits that allow the locals to get rid of the same situation as us.”[

Commander Zhang clapped his hands.He asked in a questioning tone, "You mean, let our troops drink more of that nasty 'milk' tea like the locals?"

"Milk" tea is a very good drink, and it is also the eating habit of people living in plateau areas. Local people may feel that something is missing if they don't drink it for a day.But for foreigners, drinking this kind of "milk" tea is not enjoyable but uncomfortable.

"That's it. We must ensure that the soldiers' physical strength does not decline. We must refer to the living habits of the local people and ask the local people for advice. There will be no difficulties that cannot be overcome."

Although "milk" tea is hard to drink for people who are not used to it, it is not a big deal. Commander Zhang and Political Commissar Tan are very happy that there is a way to deal with night blindness.A report sounded suddenly outside the door.

The sound of the report was very abrupt, and it was yelled by someone who was not familiar with Mandarin. Dozens of people in the room were stunned for a moment. Most of the middle and senior commanders of the [-]th Army and the Independent Brigade were here.This kind of meeting is not allowed to be disturbed without special circumstances. Who is calling for the report?

A guard soldier walked in: "Report to the commander, a few people came outside, said they came to attend the meeting, and they were shouting reports outside the door, and we stopped them."

Commander Zhang Guohua patted himself on the head suddenly, laughed and said:

"Come here for whatever you want, Comrade Li Yong, just now you said that we should ask for advice like the locals, and our teachers will be here, let them come in."

Everyone looked at the door with surprised eyes. After a short time, two people walked in from the door. Like the people in the room, these two people were wearing the khaki military uniform of the People's Liberation Army, but their faces were obviously local. The appearance of Tibetans.

Li Yong looked at one of them and recognized it immediately. One of them was Gesang Wangdui, the commander of the Ninth Generation Army of the Tibetan Army uprising in the Yushu area.

Gesang Wangdui walked up to Army Commander Zhang Guohua and Political Commissar Tan Guansan, stood at attention and saluted and reported, "Report to Army Commander and Political Commissar, we are late."

"Not late, just in time, we just have a question to ask you, let me introduce to you, this is Comrade Gesang Wangdui, the commander of the ninth generation of the Tibetan Army regiment, after the battlefield uprising, his The ninth-generation version has been reorganized into the Ninth Infantry Regiment of the Chinese People's Liberation Army by the Southwest Military Region, welcome." Commander Zhang gave a brief introduction to the puzzled people.

The Party Committee of the [-]th Army is the highest commanding body in the local area. It held a meeting of military commanders above the regiment. Gesang Wangdui was the commander of the [-]th Infantry Regiment. Of course he was going to attend, but he was late because of the road and traffic.

The people who came back to the meeting this time were really crowded, including the [-]th Army from the Southwest, the Independent Brigade from the Northwest, and the Ninth Infantry Regiment of the local army.

The Ninth Infantry Regiment is the first unit in the history of the Chinese People's Liberation Army composed entirely of Tibetan soldiers, and it is also the only one in the People's Liberation Army's organizational system. They have always been integrated into the big family of the People's Liberation Army. They followed the party wholeheartedly, resolutely implemented the orders of their superiors, and made outstanding contributions in the subsequent battles to suppress bandits and "insurgency" and defend the frontier. carry. [

There were too many people in the room. After saluting the army commander and the political commissar, Gesang Wangdui, the head of the regiment, hurried to find a place to sit down. Turning around, I suddenly saw Li Yong and Li Da brigade commander beckoning to him quietly.

For Gesang Wangdui, he basically didn't know anyone in the house, except for Commander Zhang and Political Commissar Tan, the only people he knew were Li Yong and Wang Chengde.

Gesang Wangdui hurriedly came to sit down in front of Li Yong and Wang Chengde, Li Yong asked a little confused: "Commander Wangdui, why did you come so late?"

Gesang Wangdui smiled wryly and said: "My comrade brigade commander, our regiment is not as rich as yours. We can use cars as toys. After I received the news, I hurried all the way, but I was still one step late."

Li Yong nodded, thinking about it. In the Independent Brigade, because cars are very common, everyone subconsciously thinks that other troops are also like this. Only when they saw the dusty Gesang Wangdui did they realize that it is [-] , the car is still a precious rarity.

That's right, Li Yong pondered for a while and then said: "How about this, some vehicles will be transferred from our brigade for you, and you will provide the drivers yourself, and we will be in charge of training, what do you think?"

What else? This is great news. Gesang Wangdui did not expect that the brigade commander, who is ruthless on the battlefield, would have such a good heart. You know, cars are in short supply in any army, even in the entire army. There are not many Eighteenth Army.

"Thank you, brigade commander. On behalf of the Ninth Infantry Regiment, I would like to express my gratitude. If there is any need for our help in the future, I, Gesang Wangdui, will definitely do it." Gesang Wangdui said the truth.

Li Yong smiled noncommittally. The Ninth Infantry Regiment is a local snake. From the commander to the soldiers, they are all locals. They are very familiar with the local culture and geography. It seems that the Independent Brigade will stay in the Tibetan area for a while. Maybe there is something that needs their help. With the words of Captain Gesang Wangdui, it will be easy to talk when it is needed. Brigadier Li Da is also trying to make connections.

Afterwards, it was revealed that Li Yong's layout was not in vain. In the following prosperous years, the Independent Brigade received strong support from the Ninth Regiment more than once.

The personnel arrived, and the contents of the meetings of the Eighteenth Army were one after another. Li Yong, Gesang Wangdui, and everyone present at the meeting were listening carefully and taking notes. Finally, Army Commander Zhang Guohua announced decision of superiors.

The main force of the [-]th Army and the independent brigade continued to advance to Tibet to carry out the task of peacefully liberating Tibet. The defense of the Qamdo area was in charge of the Ninth Infantry Regiment, and the head of the regiment Kelsang Wangdui also served as the security commander of the Qamdo area.

Li Yong and Gesang Wangdui said goodbye as soon as they met, because they had already fully realized mechanization, and the speed of marching was not at the same level. The large troops opened the way and advanced towards the Tibetan area one step ahead of schedule.

About to set off, Tan Guansan political commissar gave Li Yong and Wang Chengde a few words, calm, calm, witty, flexible, have a big picture, and strictly enforce the disciplines of our army.

The task is glorious, but also serious and stressful. Since it is necessary to open the way for the large troops to advance, it must enter the Greater Tibet area in advance. The independent brigade has to face everything unknown, such as ethnic issues, religious issues, and policy issues of the party and the army. , how to implement various intricate issues, and what to do if there are deviations?Everything has to be faced. Does Li Yong, who has just turned 22, have the confidence to complete it?

The answer is yes. The independent brigade that fought bloody battles with the enemy is the ace of the trump cards of the Northwest Field Army, the main force of the main force. With more than 4000 loyal comrades by his side, Li Yong is confident that he can overcome any difficulties and bring He has the confidence to crush any enemy under his feet.

It’s time to start again. Qamdo City is just the gateway to the Tibetan area, no matter how good it is, it’s not a place to stay for a long time. The Independent Brigade has more important tasks waiting for them to carry out. The brigade also marched into Xinjiang as the leader of the whole army, and it is still the same this time.
