The little jeep stopped with a creak, and the radio soldiers on the car quickly set up antennas and equipment, which was a radio station specially prepared for them by Li Yong before the troops set off, and the personnel and equipment were all carefully selected by the company commander Li Jia.
The door of the Duli Brigade Headquarters, which was in a meeting, was pushed open, and the guard company commander Li Jia walked in quickly with a telegram in his hand: "Brigade commander, battalion commander Zhang, they sent a telegram. β
The lively Duli Brigade Headquarters calmed down suddenly, everyone is not stupid, everyone knows that the reconnaissance battalion from the battalion commander Zhang Jinsong to the more than 1,000 people under his command disappeared a few days ago, but no one knows exactly what they were doing, out of the secrecy requirements of the soldiers, no one asked where they went, but if you think about it with a pig's head, you can understand that it must be on a special mission.
Li Yong, who held the telegram in his hand, read it over and over again, there was not much handwriting on the piece of paper, but it was full of happy information, and handed the telegram to Wang Chengde, the political commissar on the side: "Lao Wang, it's a good thing, hehe, it's a good thing." β
Political Commissar Wang Chengde took the telegram, and after more than ten seconds, Wang Chengde's brows were also relaxed, and the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned.
There is no need to ask now, the things that the brigade commander and political commissar are happy about must be a good thing, Wang Chengde slapped the telegram on the table, and then announced loudly: "Comrade, I have good news for everyone, the reconnaissance battalion has just called, they have found the bandits' old nest in Hongliu Canyon, and they are asking for instructions on the next task." β
Hehe, the love in the house was immediately mobilized, which is indeed good news, veterans who have fought understand what it means to find out the opponent's lair, which means that it will be another big victory.
Don't look at the fact that everyone is engaged in post-war meritorious service awards, but there is a thorn in this heart that has never been picked out. It's just that no one wants to mention it, because they are afraid of upsetting everyone if they say it.
It is an indisputable fact that more than 100,000 bandits were defeated and killed, and more than 10,000 were killed and wounded, and it was a fact that it was a meritorious service, but in any case, the task assigned by the superiors was not completed, and the fat on the lips was not eaten, and the bandit brigade finally ran away. Although the higher authorities did not pursue the matter, it was a matter for the superiors, and the Duli Brigade had to find out the reasons based on itself, and could not blame the contradictions and problems on the chief organ.
He Cuihua, who was sitting with Hu Xiaolian in the meeting, stood up regardless of it: "Then what are you waiting for?" Hurriedly gathered the whole brigade and set off, and when they arrived at the place, they took out the bandits. Then we'll come back and have this award conference again. β
He Cuihua's temper is familiar to everyone who came to the meeting, and Instructor He Da shouted as if he didn't shout. They didn't even look at her. Eyes focused on Li Yong and Wang Chengde, these are the two masters in the Duli Brigade, He Cuihua is just shouting there, and the is not the best.
also knew that her words didn't count, and He Cuihua, who had shouted a few times, sat down boredly again, and muttered in a low voice: "Is there anything wrong with my opinion?" Now that the bandits' lair has been discovered, what are you waiting for. Wouldn't it be easy to kill it directly? β
Hu Xiaoling pulled her clothes and motioned for her to sit down, and then leaned on her ear and whispered: "The opinion is not wrong, it's just that it's early, and the brigade commander and political commissar haven't said it yet." What are you fooling around? β
He Cuihua's speech is just a small episode, but there are not a few people who have such thoughts, the soldiers in the war years are relatively simple, and the very simple idea is that as long as the enemy is found, they will rush forward to destroy it, regardless of whether there are many others or few people, even if they have casualties.
For example, the two cavalry regiments supported by their superiors a few days ago, their fighting enthusiasm was very high, but Li Yong did not let them directly participate in the battle with the bandit brigade, but let them participate in the battle when they pursued the remnants of the enemy after the battle, which was to avoid unnecessary casualties.
A few days ago, a unit of our army pursued bandits in the desert, and in the chaos they only cared about catching bandits, so that they threw away their coats to resist the cold, and at night the temperature dropped sharply, and most of the soldiers of the whole regiment were frostbitten, and later had to withdraw to the rear to rest.
This is a lesson that is exchanged for life, even if the combat effectiveness of this unit is restored in the future, the regiment commander who leads the team will leave a bad sign of weak ability from the superior commander because of the punishment, and in the absence of special circumstances, the career will be considered the end.
As the saying goes, how big the heart is, how big the sky is, Li Yong didn't want to stop at the position of brigade commander, he still has greater aspirations or ambitions that have not been realized, he is still young, and the road under his feet is still very long.
didn't criticize anyone, Li Yong just calmly said his thoughts:
"According to Zhang Jinsong's confirmation, most of the bandits' lair are women, old people and children, and almost all of the young and middle-aged people are robbing around with Usman, even if we knock out the bandits' lair, we will only eliminate some old, weak, sick and disabled people, Usman's elite subordinates still can't get it, the bandits' sense of smell is very sensitive, plus their speed is very fast, once they hear the wind, they will run away."
The advantage of fast speed is here, no matter whether I am strong or not, I have the initiative on the battlefield, I can fight how I want, the contest between fast speed and slow speed, the fast side will always have the advantage.
The art of war is to a large extent to compete for the initiative on the battlefield, and only by changing the passive into the active can we gradually achieve the final victory, which is an eternal truth, but in the current xinjiΔng, between the pursuit troops of the People's Liberation Army and the bandits, it is unceremoniously said that the initiative is in the hands of the bandits.
Is it the bandits' tactics and tactics that are powerful? Or are the commanders and fighters of our army not tenacious? No, there is only one reason, the bandits are all cavalry, and the vast majority of our army's pursuit troops are infantry.
Everyone understands the reason, and everyone knows the reason, but it is not easy to reverse it, and due to the conditions at that time, it is not realistic to want the troops to immediately improve their mobility capability, and for this reason, Commander Luo Yuanfa and Chief of Staff Chen Haihan, who are in charge of suppressing bandits, also have a headache, knowing that the crux of the problem is there, but they cannot solve it.
The conference room of the Duli Brigade was dull again, they were all from the old army, and they knew that what the brigade commander said was the truth, and there was only one Duli Brigade plus two cavalry regiments outside the chasing force that ran fast, and with such a few men and horses, they couldn't encircle the Usman bandit gang at all, and if they couldn't be encircled, it would mean that they couldn't be completely annihilated, so when will the work of suppressing bandits come to an end?
Seeing that everyone's sentiment was a little low, Li Yong continued the topic just now, he didn't make any encouragement for these people here, and the twenty or thirty veterans who came to the meeting were extremely strong-willed, and some small things could be adjusted in a while:
"Things are not as strict as everyone thinks, the enemy is a bandit after all, no matter how fast you run, you are also a bandit, we have a large rear to rely on, the conditions will get better and better, my opinion is that we should immediately report the situation we found to the front of the bandits, and jointly formulate a stable plan of action, what do you think?"
Front-line command of the anti-bandit troops.
Commander Luo Yuanfa and Chief of Staff Chen Haihan, who received the news, were very excited, and Commander Luo said with emotion: "Damn, it's still the Duli Brigade that is capable, it's been so many days, and we have sent out a lot of people, but why haven't we found the bandits' lair, Lao Chen, tell me, what is the reason?" β
Chief of Staff Chen Haihan was lying on the big map looking for the exact location of Hongliuxia, and when he heard Commander Luo's question, he replied without raising his head: "Hehe, there is no reason, Comrade Commander, people have a good life and good luck, and you can't envy if you want to." β
"Lao Chen, you guy is, what kind of fate is good luck, to put it bluntly, the strength of the people is still powerful, the troops are well equipped, the tentacles are stretched out, and the news can be probed a lot, if you want to say that I envy me to the point of envy, no matter what you do, the commander is worried about them, you say, the two of us have two cavalry regiments that can run faster, and they were all sent by the commander and his guy."
"Okay, Comrade Army Commander, don't complain, haven't the two regiments already been rebuilt, my opinion is that an operational meeting above the brigade and regiment level should be held immediately, and a specific plan of action should be formulated to defeat the Usman bandits in one fell swoop."
Dozens of people came to the large conference room, and the commanders of the anti-bandit unit regiment and above were almost all there, and the specific topic of the meeting was how to use the intelligence advantage to completely annihilate or severely damage the bandits under Usman and his subordinates in the case of discovering the enemy's lair.
For the first time in the agenda, the word heavy damage was used, and the previous meetings were held to discuss how to wipe them out, and after many battles with the bandits, the front finger also lowered the requirements, as long as it can be hit hard, and there is no requirement that all of them must be eliminated.
Li Yong is a very limelight figure at every meeting, and this time is no exception, research and study, and later a commander still put it forward, since it is the intelligence discovered by the Duli brigade, let the political commissar of the family talk to the brigade commander to see if there is any good way.
Almost all of the purely military issues are Li Yong's opinions, not that Wang Chengde will not fight, but a gesture made in front of everyone, in order to tell everyone that the political commissar and brigade commander of the Duli Brigade are very united, and Li Yong and Wang Chengde communicated together before coming, and Li Yong's construction is actually a common idea of the two people:
"According to the situation we have reconnoitred, the people left in Usman's base camp are old, weak, sick and disabled, and there are very few young and middle-aged people, even if we knock down Hongliuxia, it will not have much impact on Usman's strength, and there is only a suspicion of scaring snakes, for this reason, the opinion of our Duli Brigade is.
