Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Li Yong mentioned the Huaihai Battle and Chief of Staff Li Da, which made the commanders of the Eighteenth Army very excited, because Chief of Staff Li Da was a person from Erye, and they were very familiar with their chief of staff, and they also knew that Li Yong was telling the truth, but they didn't understand the truth from what source this young man learned.
Needless to say, it was them, and the people of the Duli Brigade were also very puzzled, of course they knew about the Huaihai Campaign, and they had also reported it after the victory of the battle, but how the specific high-level commanders did it was the top secret of the field army, and how did a brigade commander in the remote northwest know.
If you don't understand, you don't understand, there are often things that the soldiers don't understand very well in Brigadier Li, and the people of the Duli Brigade are used to it, so they don't take it as a thing.
Commander Zhang Guohua and Political Commissar Tan called Li Yong and Wang Chengde to their side, and the two main leaders of the 18th Army had one more thing in their hearts, many soldiers in the army were suffering from night blindness, and they wanted to ask Li Yong and Wang Chengde if there was any good way.
Wang Chengde looked at Li Yong, and the meaning was very clear, among the more than 10,000 people in the Duli Brigade, it must be the brigade commander Li Yong who had the most messy ideas, and if Li Yong didn't have a rut, he couldn't do anything.
The problem is obvious, if you want to solve the night blindness of the soldiers, you have to increase the intake of vitamins, in the Xizàng plateau area, because the cost of production and transportation is too high, vegetables are more expensive than meat, there is a well-known saying, rich people eat vegetables, poor people eat meat.
The extremely inconvenient transportation has caused great trouble to the travel of the army, the scale of the eighteenth army is very large, and the demand for any material is a large amount, and it is simply an unimaginable thing to ask the superiors to transfer a large number of vegetables from the rear, and it may rot before it can be transported to the ground.
Is there no way? Of course not, although the Tibetan area is bitterly cold. But it is not a barren land, there are a large number of ethnic minorities living in the local area, and their bodies are very healthy, Li Yong has the advantage of being a latecomer, and he knows how the locals solve this problem.
"Commander, I have studied the eating habits of the locals, and the local people are used to drinking a kind of milk tea, and milk tea contains a large number of nutrients that are beneficial to the body, and it is precisely because of such eating habits that the locals have gotten rid of the same situation as us."
Zhang Junchang slapped his hand. In an inquiring tone, he said, "You mean to make our troops drink more of that kind of milk tea that is difficult to drink, just like the locals?" ”
Milk tea is a very good drink, and it is also the eating habit of people living in highland areas, and the locals may feel that something is missing if they don't drink it for a day. But for outsiders, drinking this kind of milk tea is not enjoyable but uncomfortable.
"That's it. We want to make sure that the warriors' bodies do not fall. It is necessary to refer more to the living habits of the local people and ask the local people for advice, so that there is no difficulty that cannot be overcome. ”
Although milk tea is difficult to drink for people who are not used to it, it is not a big deal, and with a way to deal with night blindness, Commander Zhang and Political Commissar Tan are very happy. A report suddenly rang out outside the door.
The report was very abrupt, and it was shouted by people who were not familiar with Mandarin, and dozens of people in the room were stunned for a moment, and the middle and senior commanders of the Eighteenth Army and the Duli Brigade were basically here. Such a meeting is not allowed to be disturbed without special circumstances, who is the person who shouts the report?
A guard soldier walked in: "Report to the commander, a few people came outside, saying that they were here to attend the meeting, and they were shouting a report outside the door, and they were stopped by us." ”
Commander Zhang Guohua slapped his head suddenly, and said with a smile:
"You can come whatever you want, Comrade Li Yong, you just said that we should ask the locals for advice, and our teacher will arrive and let them in."
Everyone looked at the door in amazement, and with little effort, two people walked in from outside the door, these two people were the same as the people in the room, wearing the khaki military uniforms of the People's Liberation Army, but their faces were obviously the appearance of local Tibetans.
Li Yong looked at one of them and immediately recognized it, one of them was Gesang Wangdui, the commander of the ninth generation of the Tibetan army who rebelled in the Yushu area.
Gesang Wangdui and the two walked up to Commander Zhang Guohua and Political Commissar Tan Guansan, and stood up and saluted and reported: "Report to the military commander and political commissar, we are late." ”
"Don't be late, just right, we just have a question to ask you, let me introduce to you, this is Comrade Kelsang Wangdui, the commander of the ninth generation of the Tibetan Army's own regiment, after the battlefield uprising, his ninth generation has been reorganized into the Ninth Infantry Regiment of the Chinese People's Liberation Army by the Southwest Military Region, everyone is welcome." Commander Zhang gave a brief introduction to the puzzled people.
The Party Committee of the 18th Army is the highest local command organ, and it held a meeting of military commanders at and above the regimental level, and Gesang Wangdui, who was the commander of the 9th Infantry Regiment, of course had to participate, but he was only a little late because of the road and traffic.
There were really a lot of people who came back for the meeting, including the 18th Army from the southwest, the Duli Brigade from the northwest, and the 9th Infantry Regiment of the local troops.
The Ninth Infantry Regiment is the first unit in the history of the Chinese People's Liberation Army composed entirely of Tibetan fighters, and is also the only unit in the PLA structure; since then, regardless of the passage of time and the change of personnel, the cadres and fighters of the Ninth Infantry Regiment have always been integrated into the big family of the PLA; they wholeheartedly follow the party, resolutely carry out the orders of their superiors, and make outstanding contributions in the subsequent battles to suppress bandits and quell chaos and defend the frontiers.
There were too many people in the room, and after the two regiment commanders of Gesang Wangdui saluted the army commander and the political commissar, they hurriedly wanted to find a place to sit down.
For Gesang Wangdui, the people in the room basically don't know each other, and the only people who are familiar with them are Li Yong and Wang Chengde, except for Commander Zhang and Political Commissar Tan.
Gesang Wangdui hurriedly came to Li Yong and Wang Chengde and sat down, Li Yong asked a little puzzled: "Head Wangdui, why did you come so late?" ”
Gesang Wangdui smiled bitterly and said: "My comrade brigade commander, our regiment is not as rich as yours, and you can use cars as toys. ”
Li Yong nodded, and also figured it out, in the Duli Brigade, because cars are very common, everyone subconsciously thinks that other troops are like this, and when they see the dusty Gesang Wangdui, they remember that it is 1950, and cars are still very precious and rare.
That's the case, Li Yong pondered for a while and then said: "In this way, some vehicles will be transferred from our brigade to you, and the drivers will be sent out by yourself, and we will be responsible for training, what do you think?" ”
What else, this is great news, Gesang Wangdui didn't expect that the ruthless brigade commander on the battlefield would be so good-hearted, you know, cars are in demand in any army, even if there are not many in the entire Eighteenth Army.
"Thank you, brigade commander, on behalf of the Ninth Infantry Regiment, I would like to express my gratitude if there is anything that needs our help in the future, I cannot shirk it." Gesang Wangdui was telling the truth.
Li Yong smiled noncommittally, the Ninth Infantry Regiment is a local snake, from the regiment commander to the soldiers are all locals, and they are very familiar with the local culture and geography, the Duli Brigade looks like they are going to stay in Tibet for a while, and there may be something they need help in the future.
It was later shown that Li Yong's layout was not in vain, and in the following eventful years, the Duli Brigade received strong support from the Ninth Regiment more than once.
Li Yong, Gesang Wangdui, and everyone attending the meeting were all listening carefully and taking notes, and in the end, it was Commander Zhang Guohua who announced the decision of his superiors.
The main force of the 18th Army and the Duli Brigade continued to advance to Xizàng to carry out the task of peacefully liberating Xizàng, and the defense of the Qamdo area was taken care of by the 9th Infantry Regiment, and the commander of the Kelsang Wangdui Regiment concurrently served as the commander of the garrison in the Qamdo area.
As soon as they met, they had to separate again, Li Yong and Gesang Wangdui said goodbye, because they had completely realized mechanization, and the speed of the march was not at the same level, and the Duli Brigade was ordered by Commander Zhang Guohua and Tan Guansan Political Commissar to be the lead of the whole army, open the way for the large army to advance, and advance to the Tibetan area one step in advance.
When it was time to set off, Political Commissar Tan Guansan sent a few words to Li Yong and Wang Chengde, saying that they should be calm, calm, witty, and flexible, and that they should have a view of the overall situation and strictly enforce all disciplines of our army.
Since we want to open the way for the large army to advance, we must enter the Tibetan region in advance, and the Duli brigade has to face unknown problems, ethnic issues, religious issues, party and army policy issues, how to carry out all kinds of complicated problems, and what to do if there are deviations? All the qiē have to be faced, does Li Yong, who has just passed twenty-two, have the confidence to complete it?
The answer is yes, the Duli Brigade that fought bloody battles with the enemy is the trump card of the Northwest Field Army, the main force of the main force, there are more than 14,000 loyal comrades-in-arms by his side, Li Yong has the confidence to overcome any difficulties and twist any enemy under his feet into powder, he has this confidence.
It's going to be pulled out again, Qamdo City is just the gateway to Tibet, no matter how good it is, it is not a place to stay for a long time, the Duli Brigade still has more important tasks waiting for them to perform, and it is like the beginning of a reincarnation, just like the march into the Great Northwest, the Duli Brigade is also advancing into Xinjiāng as the lead of the whole army, this time it is still the case.
