The beacon of youth

Seeing Li Yong, who had nothing to do, came to the health team, the deputy captain Hu Xiaoling was very excited, and she put down her work and ran over to listen to the chat between Brigadier Li Da and the soldiers. Later, she couldn't help asking about the salt water.

Hu Xiaoling was not used to calling Li Yong the brigade commander most of the time, because in Hu Xiaoling's eyes, Li Yong was the wounded soldier Li Erdan he had served in the past. However, when there were many people, he still called Li Yong the brigade commander. Hu Xiaoling was taking care of Brigadier Li's face, because the name "Erdan" is really not very nice, and another reason is that Li Yong's nickname "Erdan" is a little secret between her and Li Yong, of course not Let others know.

"It's not difficult. The Shigatse area is also rich in minerals, such as coal and salt. As long as we find a place, salt is not a problem."

Hu Xiaoling admires Li Yong very much, "Erdan" knows a little bit about everything, but I don't understand why he knows so much, as if any problem is not a problem for Li Yong.

Li Yong's chat also reassured the health team and the soldiers who came to see the doctor. In Li Yong's mouth, Shigatse was beautiful, like a girl with an open heart, waiting for them to develop.

Seeing that everyone was talking about it, Li Yong stood up and greeted the deputy captain Hu Xiaoling, and even gave her a wink to ask her to go out and have a chat alone.

It's been a long time since we chatted together. Li Yong felt a little guilty. Hu Xiaoling, who had a cheerful personality, was a little embarrassed at first, but when she saw that no one was paying attention, she walked out with Li Yong at ease. It wasn't that she didn't want to chat with Li Yong alone. I don’t want to chat, but I feel that the current Li Yong belongs to their captain, Hu Xiaolian. If she is too enthusiastic, she will be thought to have the intention of interfering with her. Women are all cautious.

I went a little far away from the health team and found a place where there were no people.Li Yong was very concerned and asked Hu Xiaoling how she was doing recently, whether her work and life were going well, if anyone bullied her, and if so, tell him, and she must beat that guy to the ground. Hu Xiaoling was still a little restrained at first, because now The current Li Yong is not the former Erdan, but the leader of the journey. However, following Li Yong's few words of ridicule.Hu Xiaoling also gradually regained the original feeling.

In a daze, Hu Xiaoling seemed to see Li Erdan, the wounded soldier who asked him for big pancakes back then. Thinking about Li Yong at that time, Hu Xiaoling felt it was funny for a while, and it was really hard to explain clearly the things in the world.

"Erdan. You said that our troops fought from the northwest to Xinjiang, and then from Xinjiang to Tibet. When will it be big? After arriving in Shigatse, will we stay there forever or leave after a while?" Hu Xiaoling's question made Li Yong fall into a dilemma In meditation.

yes.Where is the future of the army?In order not to be disbanded, Li Yong was determined to bring his troops from Xinjiang to Tibet, but what should he do after arriving in Tibet?Where is home?Is Shigatse a place to stay for a long time?

After the founding of New China, there was still a Taiwan in the unliberated area, but it was enough to deal with Taiwan with three wild troops, and there was no need for an independent brigade at all.If Li Yong reported to his superiors at this time and asked to liberate Taiwan, it would be pure nonsense, and it would also be a low-IQ behavior.

In addition, Li Yong knew very well in his heart, because the Korean War broke out.The U.S. Pacific Fleet (Seventh Fleet of the U.S. Navy) stationed in the Taiwan Strait, and the People’s Liberation Army’s landing operation plan, which lacked tools for crossing the sea, was extended indefinitely. There is a reason for the army. The transfer of the independent brigade from Xinjiang to Tibet is because the superiors took a fancy to their fast maneuverability. Such a decision was made in order to block the rear of the Tibetan army defending along the Jinsha River, except for Taiwan and Tibet. In addition, there is only North Korea that is still at war around the country. Calculate the time, the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea is about to begin, and the squadron will soon enter North Korea to participate in the war. Report to the superiors and ask to go to North Korea to fight abroad? ?Li Yong thought it was nonsense. The Northeast region bordering North Korea is the territory of Siye. Siye is the most powerful field army in the People's Liberation Army. It's not much worse than the Independent Brigade. With the powerful Siye deploying defenses in the Northeast, can the superiors transfer the Independent Brigade from Tibet, which is thousands of miles away? ?There is no such possibility, and Li Yong is also very clear that the US military has absolute air supremacy on the Korean battlefield, and the sky belongs to the Americans. This situation has not changed much until the end of the war. Under these conditions, the tanks and artillery of the Independent Brigade are likely to become targets of US fighter-bombers. Coupled with the terrain of North Korea with many mountains and few plains, the rapid maneuverability of the troops cannot be used. It is doubtful whether the Independent Brigade can exert half of its combat effectiveness. .

Based on the above analysis, judging from the current situation, there is no hope of going to the front line in Fujian, and there is no hope of going abroad to fight in North Korea. Therefore, the independent brigade stationed in Shigatse to consolidate the border defense is likely to stay there for a long time. This is the independent brigade the status quo to be faced.

"Xiaoling, in my estimation, we may have to stay in Shigatse for a long time. It is too difficult to mobilize large troops, especially in the Tibet area where transportation is inconvenient. If there are no major changes in the international and domestic situations, the superiors will not send troops to Transferred here and there, Shigatse is likely to be our future home."

Although Li Yong looks happy in front of the soldiers, he actually has opinions about being stationed in Tibetan areas. Who doesn't want to go back to the mainland, but he didn't say it out. Today, with Hu Xiaoling, the woman he knew the first time In front of him, Li Yong couldn't help but say a few words from his heart.

After listening to Li Yong's analysis, Hu Xiaoling did not speak for a long time. To be honest, if there is an opportunity, no one would want to put their home in a very closed area like Shigatse, but soldiers take obeying orders as their bounden duty. We must muster up the courage to continue and do well.

"Erdan, as long as you lead us to do it, everyone is not afraid of anything. Didn't you just say that Shigatse is a beautiful and rich place, and construction is better than fighting to kill people. We have fought for so many years. It’s been hard to come to peace, and that’s better than anything else.”

Li Yong was surprised by Hu Xiaoling's words, yes, why is he not as good as a little woman, no matter how difficult it is to build, it is better than fighting dead people, this is a very simple truth, thinking of this, Li Yong's heart jumped Great pride.

"Xiaoling, what you said is very good. There will be no war to fight for a long time in the future, so let's throw our arms around and start construction. With so many resources in Shigatse, we will surely live a good life."

As soon as Li Yong finished speaking, a soft voice rang in his ear: "What are you talking about, you are so happy, if you don't notify me of any good things, don't you take me as the captain seriously? "

Hu Xiaoling and Li Yong turned their heads and saw that the person who came was the health captain Hu Xiaolian, the wife-to-be of the brigade commander Li Da.

Hu Xiaoling stood up embarrassingly, and explained somewhat flusteredly: "Sister Xiaolian, it's you. The brigade commander didn't see you when he came, and we just arrived."

Who is Hu Xiaolian! !Having experienced two men, she has a seven-hole exquisite heart, how could she not know about Hu Xiaoling's little thoughts:

"Xiao Ling also sit down, let's chat with Dayong, there is no brigade commander here, only a very ordinary little man, Dayong, is that right?"

Li Yong chuckled: "Yes, there are no brigade commanders or no brigade commanders here, only a little man."

Two women sat next to Li Yong, one on the left and the other on the right. In front of them was a pile of red-hot bonfires, behind them were several field tents, and in the distance were hazy snow-capped mountains and pastures. Only a few tens of meters away from the bonfire was a road. The small river is neither wide nor deep, and it is clear to the bottom. According to the Tibetan warrior Suolang Pingcuo, such a small river is a very precious resource. In addition, the pastures around it can feed a large number of cattle and sheep. Without everything, human beings can thrive.

Li Yong didn't expect that the thin Suolang Pingcuo could say such philosophical words. The three of them stood shoulder to shoulder, and a few guards stood guard from a distance, and looked back from time to time. He seemed to be muttering something, although no one knew what the guards were muttering, but the general meaning could be guessed—who is our brigade commander's wife.

The three of them just sat there quietly without saying a word for a long time, and the two women finally leaned on Li Yong's shoulders.

It was Hu Xiaolian who broke the tranquility: "Dayong, we all know that you are under a lot of pressure, so you don't have to worry too much. We have never experienced any kind of difficulties. I think we only had one or even a few hundred people back then, so it's not the same. Remember The Battle of Yulin? We sacrificed so many comrades-in-arms and fought so hard, but we won in the end. As long as we persevere, the final victory will always be ours."

The two women are very smart. They were comforting Li Yong and also cheering him up. Li Yong replied in a low voice, "Why don't you remember? He was seriously injured there, but fortunately, he finally recovered his life."

"Dayong, you are the backbone of our brigade of tens of thousands of people, and the soldiers are all watching you." This is the voice of the deputy captain Hu Xiaoling.

Yes, I am the leader of the brigade, I have the experience of being a human being in two lives, and there are thousands of warriors with strong blood. What kind of difficulties can I not overcome? Thinking of this, Li stood up bravely:

"Thank you for your reminders and encouragement. We have traveled through the big river and the big waves, and we can still capsize in the small river ditch? You two keep busy, and I have to go back and arrange some work." (To be continued...)
