Chapter 51 Opening up a base area
A few days later, the order of the brigade headquarters came down, and the detailed geographical location also came down. Li Qing took a closer look and realized that the brigade headquarters meant to build a garrison on a high slope, and this garrison happened to form a "pin" zigzag arrangement with the other two regiments, so that when encountering the enemy, they could quickly support each other.
Early in the morning, the brothers all stood at the gate of the station, looking at the camp where they had lived for many days, and looking at these brothers who got along day and night, everyone was a little reluctant.
"Commander Yan, let's go, the brigade commander said that we will leave today!" Li Qing said to Head Yan.
"I know this, don't be so unhappy, in fact, there is nothing wrong with opening up a base area!" Head Yan said with a smile.
Li Qing sighed and said with a wry smile: "I can't bear to brothers!" ”
"Hey, it's time to go! I won't keep you, the brigade commander is right, as a regiment you must have independence and autonomy, in fact, even if you don't leave today, you will have to leave sooner or later! It's better for you to go out and open a base area, so that it will be convenient for you Li Qing to exercise your power! Head Yan said with a smile.
"Power? Is power comparable to brotherhood? Li Qing asked rhetorically.
"Hey! Men should focus on the overall situation! Head Yan persuaded.
Hearing this, Li Qing nodded, and held the hand of the head of Na Yan and couldn't bear to let go.
"Well, yes, that's what you're talking about! I obey the brigade commander's arrangement, but you have to be a guest often! Li Qing said with a smile.
"Definitely! Certain! Head Yan replied.
Li Qing looked at the crowd again, then beckoned to the brothers of the third regiment and shouted loudly: "Brothers, let's go!" ”
After speaking, he turned around and walked out of the camp, and the brothers of the third regiment also followed him out, they turned back step by step, very reluctant to these brothers, but in the face of the brigade commander's arrangement, they could only focus on the overall situation.
Li Qing opened the map, followed the route marked on the map, and walked towards the high slope, and everyone held their weapons tightly to guard the surroundings to prevent the sudden attack of the devils.
After more than 1 hour of marching, everyone finally arrived at the destination, Li Qing looked from afar, only to see a large slope in front of him, and under the slope was a plain, the same vastness.
Li Qing looked around and said with a smile: "What a place!" You see, if we build a camp on the slope, we can be condescending, and the cavalry company is stationed at the bottom of the slope, so that the horses can walk, what a good place! The brigade commander is really good at picking places. ”
"Oh well! Let's start building! Yan'er said with a smile.
"Good! Anyway, there are tents and everything! Li Qing also said with a smile.
"That's right, I'm announcing it now! The commander of the first battalion is Zhang Yonghang, the second battalion is Li Yiyang, the third battalion is Yu Yan'er, the fourth battalion is Zhang Biao, the cavalry company commander Yan Dahu, and the battalion commander Zhao Meng directly under the regiment. The appointment is effective today! Li Qing announced.
"Yes!" Everyone replied in unison.
"All the battalions are stationed in the camp except for the cavalry company, and the cavalry company is stationed outside the camp! This makes it easy for the horses to move! Li Qing commanded.
So, everyone went their separate ways.
In order to facilitate the movement of the horses, Yan Dahu was stationed at the bottom of this slope, and he and his brothers carried long sections of wood to build rows of long horse pens, and then covered them with straw and reeds, so that the horses would not get drenched in the rain. Then they set up a couple of big tents on the side so that everyone could live in.
Li Qing and the others were stationed on that high slope, and they built a big fence to surround the entire camp. It is in the shape of a "mouth". Two sentry posts were set up at the gate to guard the camp.
Li Qing said to everyone: "Now I announce that the upper left corner of the camp is the first battalion camp, and the right point is the station of the second battalion. Further to the right, against the wall, there is a cooking class and a vegetable garden. We need to be self-sufficient in food and vegetables, so this vegetable garden is very important. In the lower left corner is the 3rd Battalion station, and the 4th Battalion is in the lower right corner. The regimental headquarters is set up in the center of the entire garrison in order to lead the whole team, and the camp of the battalion directly under the regiment is set up behind the regimental headquarters! ”
After hearing the arrangement, everyone hurriedly got busy, and everyone put nails in their respective camps, and then pulled up large tents. After a busy day, camouflage tents were spread out in the camp. One tent after another, neatly lined up, looks like a beautiful sight.
After everyone pulled up the tent, everyone helped Li Qing pull up a very large tent, which was more than 10 meters long and 7 meters wide. This tent is dedicated to meetings.
After all the tents were pulled up, Li Qing instructed everyone to find a lot of bags of yellow sand and stones, and made a big table out of wood.
"What are you doing with these things?" Yonghang asked.
"I used it to make a sand table, and I saw that the brigade commander had one, and this thing can show the terrain in detail! It's a good thing! Li Qing said with a smile.
"Hehe, so many benefits! What a good thing! Yonghang said with a smile.
Li Qing marked all the important military sites in this area on the sand table. Now the entire terrain of this area is presented in front of everyone's eyes at once, and the use of this sand table is indeed conducive to the needs of future combat plans!
"That's it! Completed! A few hours later, Li Qing finally happily announced to everyone.
"Well, with this sand table in the future, we will have more advantages! Now the devils are even a thousand troops! We can also gain the initiative in the war. Yonghang said with a smile.
"Hehe, don't be so happy just because we have our own base, the days will be long in the future! Now that we have this base, we have to learn to use it to fight the devils. That's why it's worth building this camp, or we might as well be with Captain Yan!" Li Qing said solemnly.
"You're right, but we're all the same everywhere, and our bravery is the powerful weapon that kills the enemy! We will continue to carry forward this excellent quality in the future! Yonghang said.
"That's right! It's still the same sentence! When you meet on a narrow road, the brave wins! We are all elites, as long as we are brave, then everywhere is a sharp sword! Li Qing said with a smile.
Hearing this, everyone laughed.
That night, everyone made a sumptuous dinner, and everyone gathered to talk about their hopes for the future and the joy of opening up the base area.
Halfway through the meal, Li Qing smiled and said to everyone: "We can actually have our own base now, which shows an important problem!" ”
"Oh? What does it mean? Yan'er asked with a smile.
"Hey! Think about it! Since our regiment can be so cared about by the brigade commander, and personally approve our establishment of a base area, this shows that! The brigade commander is starting to reuse us! Li Qing said with a smile.
"Oh! I get it! It seems that now the brigade commander is using us as a sharp knife! Yonghang said with a smile.
"Yes! So! We will bravely fight against the devils in the future, and let this sharp knife really pierce the hearts of the devils! Do you think so? Li Qing said with a smile.
"Yes! You're right! We must do our best to reach our potential! In this way, we can defeat the devils, you must remember that we are all human beings like the devils, they are no different from us, then if you look at it this way, the devils are not strong at all, as long as we are brave and tenacious! Aren't those devils just ants! Sooner or later, we'll run it over! Yonghang said kindly.
"I'm sure the entire Iron Brigade will be proud of us soon!" Li Qing said with a smile.
"Oh, yes! I propose that we raise our bowls and toast to the bright future of the three regiments! Yonghang suggested with a smile.
So everyone raised their glasses, filled them with wine, and drank it in large gulps. After drinking, Li Qing couldn't help but laugh happily. When the brothers saw him smiling, they also burst into smiles. At this moment, everyone was happy and excited.
After eating and drinking, everyone went back to the camp to rest, and Li Qing thought that everything that happened today seemed to be like a dream! The Third Regiment finally has its own base!
