The beacon of youth

The expressions of Li Yong and He Cuihua who were taken back by Boss Peng to prepare the meal were astonished. The Northwest Field Army was very miserable at the beginning, but that was also the beginning. After the conditions improved, they would not be hungry. How long has it been so difficult?The most common food for soldiers in the Independent Brigade is much better than this. ?. .

Li Yong was shocked again, the food at the Volunteer Army Headquarters was terrible, how could the chiefs always eat like this.

Before Li Yong could say anything, He Cuihua was about to jump up: "Boss, do you eat this all day long? You have a stomach problem, and your body won't be able to bear it if you eat like this."

An old subordinate is an old subordinate, and He Cuihua has long known that Boss Peng has a bad stomach.

Boss Peng said indifferently: "It's not that particular. You just came here and you don't know the situation yet. The American planes bombed very hard. Our logistics supply line was bombed countless times a day. Most of the food delivered from the rear They were all blown up on the way, and less than half of them could be delivered to the troops, and we still have to tighten our belts to fight the enemy as before.”

There is one sentence that Mr. Peng did not say. In order to ensure the food supply of the first-line troops, the Volunteer Army Headquarters compressed and compressed the food rations of the logistics and the second-line troops. The logistics staff were already working hungry. This working state lasted for a while. up.When Li Yong and the soldiers set off together, they basically didn’t consume too much, and the replenishment at the Shenyang military supply station was timely, so the food supply was still sufficient. The good thing He Cuihua said should be the game that was hunted in Tibet when he came. .At the beginning, I really wanted to bring some to Mr. Peng to taste, but I really didn't expect the food of the boss to be so bad.

Boss Peng knew He Cuihua's personality very well. The boss laughed and said, "Okay, you can go and get it. I just want to see what good things you guys brought me."

Li Yong told her that Boss Peng is not the only head in the headquarters, if you want to go, bring more.You must bring the copies of several chiefs.

He Cuihua still has this kind of heart, and the girl ran out like a gust of wind.

The guard company has more than a dozen large and small vehicles, and most of them are food supplies except for the personnel. This is also the plan Li Yong formulated at the beginning.Because he estimated that small units are not the frontline combat units.The consumption of ammunition is not so severe, but every soldier has to eat without fighting, and if there is no food, he will be caught blind.The guards and staff at the headquarters eat this?This is also called the headquarters?Not as good as an independent brigade in our remote areas.

The company commander of the headquarters guard who led the way snorted and said, "Hey, comrades, it's good to eat some food. We ran out of food for several days a few days ago. We dealt with it one cornbread a day."

Speechless, the company commander Li Yuming, the instructor Li Jia, and the three platoon leaders Sanniu, Xiaocheng, and Ning Erzi discussed with each other. It is not enough for the troops to eat only this. For now, they can only use the food they brought from the rear. The last part is emergency, let's talk about the future later.

The troop gained a lot from hunting along the way.These meats are frozen hard now, just in time to add calories to the soldiers.

Quickly set up the pot and stove.Use a fan to fan the cooking smoke, so that even if there are planes in the sky, you can't see them, and the new small troops cook by themselves.The scent wafted out and made people drool. He Cuihua, who was having dinner with Boss Peng, came back.

Without saying a word, He Cuihua got into the car and moved a large piece of wild lamb, put it on her shoulders and walked back.

The soldiers didn't know what He Cuihua was doing. Didn't he take it away for Boss Peng to eat?What are you doing back here?However, Deputy Company Commander He has always been very strong in the Independent Brigade, even if he didn't understand, no one dared to ask why.

Others don't understand, but they have been with them all the time. The headquarter cadres in charge of reception are like mirrors in their hearts. What are they doing when they come back?Boss Peng and the chiefs don't eat better than the soldiers, this girl must not be used to it.

A small pot, a large piece of mutton, and a few radishes were brought over by He Cuihua. He Cuihua was busy non-stop, washing vegetables and cutting meat, saying that he wanted to make a meal of stewed radish with wild mutton for Boss Peng and the heads of the headquarters. , also said that mutton nourishes the stomach, which is helpful for Boss Peng's stomach problems.

In less than 10 minutes, the smell of mutton wafted out, and the fragrant smell of mutton filled the entire combat command room. Several chiefs next door who were working intensively stopped their work. Deputy Commander Hong Xuezhi watched Looking at a few old guys, he swallowed and said, "What are you looking at, there must be something delicious at the boss's place, hurry over there."

Hula, several chiefs came over, and everyone gathered around the pot to see what delicious food was inside, Boss Peng laughed loudly: "Don't worry, you are indispensable, the girl has thought of you all. :

Li Yong couldn't tell what it was like. The few founding generals in front of him were all well-known and famous figures. He didn't expect that even eating was so difficult. Is this the headquarters of the Volunteer Army?

The meal was very enjoyable, the chiefs were all full of oil, Deputy Commander Deng Hua patted his belly: "Hey, I said boss, is this called food? Can I have a meal like this now? My old Deng did not come to North Korea in vain.”

Boss Peng replied without even raising his head: "It's useless to find me if you want to eat meat. You can go to Lao Hong. He is our logistics director. He will take care of the food."

Deputy Commander Hong Xuezhi swallowed the meat in his mouth, wiped his mouth and said: "Hey, you all know that the planes of the American grandma come to lay eggs on our heads every day, and the roads are bombed like hornets' nests. During a battle It's a little bit better, but now we have pushed the front line to the vicinity of the 400th parallel. The farthest troops on the front line are more than [-] kilometers away from our border. The Yankee's warship is parked in the high seas. Cutting off our supply line, in my estimation, if our air force does not go to the sky for a day, the logistics situation will not go anywhere."

Deputy Commander Deng Hua asked a little dissatisfied: "Then let's just keep eating pickles like this? When do we have to eat until the end? Will you, Old Hong, have a time when you don't know what to do?"

Jie Fang, the chief of staff who had been silent all this time, also interjected: "The situation is indeed very serious. The troops on the front line are more difficult. We have prepared supplies for many days, which are only enough for the troops to fight for a few days. After a few days, they will run out. No, it's really a headache."

Chief of Staff Xie Fang is in charge of combat. He has to formulate a battle plan, but no matter how good the battle plan is, it must be supplied with sufficient supplies. There is no ammunition and food for the troops to fight with. Listen to Chief of Staff Xie Fang and immediately Another big battle is about to start, but our logistics are not ready yet.

Li Yong was shocked. Chief of Staff Xiefang is the Chief of Staff of the Volunteer Army. What the Chief of Staff said was not a small battle. According to his estimation, it is very likely that the third battle on the Korean battlefield is about to begin. , and the three battles started when our volunteers were exhausted and hadn't rested yet.

The first battle in the Korean battlefield was a hasty battle, which was true for both the Volunteers and the Allied Forces. The second battle was an ambush fought by us taking advantage of the enemy's arrogance. The first two battles took advantage, But this third battle is different from the previous ones. The enemy already knows that the squadrons have entered the DPRK in large numbers, and they have already become vigilant. They have also grasped part of the combat characteristics of our army. Can't keep up, so the third battle that is about to start is very hard and cruel.

According to Boss Peng’s intention, the Volunteer Army still needs to rest for a period of time, so it will rest near the [-]th Parallel, but the policy given by the superior is that the Volunteer Army must overcome difficulties and fight another battle no matter what, and push the front line to the south of the [-]th Parallel .

Push the front to the south of the [-]th parallel?It is easy to say it, but it is even more difficult to put it into practice.

The higher-ups were thinking about the big issues in the overall situation. Under the international environment at that time, the Western countries headed by the United States formulated a series of standards, and other countries only had to implement them. Of course, New China did not urinate on the standards set by the West. , Why do you say that the [-]th parallel should be used as the boundary? I have to listen to it. I just want to fight over it.

They don’t want to fight militarily, but politically they require the Volunteer Army to fight another big battle. For this reason, the Volunteer Army has mobilized all available forces and tried to do every job more carefully, but the reality is still unacceptable. Hundreds of kilometers of transportation lines and the only few roads are riddled with holes under day and night bombing by the U.S. Air Force. It is not easy to keep the troops fed, and it is simply difficult to prepare the materials needed for a major battle. Mission, until the battle was about to start, each soldier had only [-] rounds of bullets and a few catties of fried noodles that he couldn't bear to eat. This was all the possessions of an ordinary volunteer soldier at that time.

Thirty rounds of ammunition, a few catties of dry food, and a few hand grenades outside, such equipment is too shabby compared to the United Army on the opposite side, almost like a beggar.

The atmosphere among the several chiefs became gloomy again. They all knew the situation of the troops, but they couldn't do anything about it, because the strength of the country was there, and it was hard for a smart woman to cook without rice.

Li Yong and He Cuihua listened quietly, not daring to say a word. What the leaders discussed were top secrets of the Volunteer Army, and it was a big issue related to the lives of tens of millions of people. In the past, they would never have access to such things. The core secret of today is just a coincidence.

Thank you old guys for your support, thank you for your rewards and votes. )
