Chapter 1: Awakening

Next Chapter

One morning in the early spring of 2009, at a certain training base of our army, company commander Li Yong was taking a group of newly recruited recruits to conduct basic training. Our army has long been equipped with new melon-style grenades, but there is still a considerable stock of wooden-handled grenades that have not been destroyed, and these old-fashioned grenades have been used by the troops to conduct live-fire training for recruits.

The place where the grenades were thrown was on a hill not too far from the troop station, the mountain was not too high, but it had to be six or seven hundred meters, it was the spring season, the grass and trees on the mountain were green, and some of the slopes were blooming with some unknown wild flowers, red and white of various colors.

Li Yong didn't have the heart to look at these scenes, he commanded the recruits to dig a trench, let these recruits lie in the trench and throw grenades down the mountain, this throwing method is the most labor-saving and safest, because it is thrown down the mountain, so no matter how far the grenade is thrown, it will roll down the mountain, this is a training method that is not dangerous at all, and it is also the laziest and most stupid training method.

Company commander Li Yong didn't bother to look at this group of recruits, crooked on the side of the trench thinking about his own thoughts, he went to the military academy at the age of eighteen, worked in the school for four years, graduated at the age of twenty-two and has been nine years since today, and he is already thirty-one. But he is still a small company commander, and the group of guys who graduated with him are all in the main battalion, and a few of them have been promoted to the deputy regiment. Yesterday, another kid sent him a wedding invitation, but what about himself? I have been in the position of company commander for several years, and there is no movement to go up, and the object has talked a lot, but none of them are okay, these girls either think that they earn less or that the army is far away from the city, and they are afraid that after they get married, they will not be able to do anything at home and blow it to themselves. Hey, why are these girls so realistic? Think about it, the same person, why is there such a big gap?

Just as I was thinking about it, I suddenly heard someone shouting: "Company commander, I threw the grenade behind." Li Yong was agitated for a moment, and when he saw it, it was not a grenade that was smoking from the top of the trench. Now let's talk about the throwing method of the grenade, unscrew the safety cover, take out the firing wire, put the firing ring on the little finger, and then throw it out hard, and at the same time the little finger also brings out the firing ring, and the grenade will burst into flame, with a delay of 3.6 seconds to explode. It seems that this recruit is too nervous, the essentials are not mastered to throw the grenade to the back of the trench, and the accident of throwing the grenade to the back Li Yong has also seen it, and everyone who has been a soldier knows that the more nervous the grenade is when it is thrown out, the easier it is to have problems, but lying in the trench and slipping down the mountain has also come out of this file Li Yong has never encountered.

Li Yong scolded: "*** is broken." With his left hand pressed on the edge of the trench, he flipped up with a side hand, kicked the smoking grenade down, and the grenade exploded at the same time as it was kicked down, and the trained recruits were lying on their stomachs in the trench There was nothing to do, but Li Yong couldn't, when the grenade exploded, he had no time to lie down, Li Yong felt that his eyes were black, and he didn't know anything in an instant, and he still thought at the 0.1 second before he fainted: Now I can accompany him. At this moment, a thunderclap suddenly sounded in the gloomy sky, and then it began to rain.

I don't know how long it took for Li Yong to wake up from the coma, feeling that his head was groggy and couldn't think of anything, and I don't know how long it was, maybe hours or minutes, and I felt that I was gradually sobering up. What's wrong with you? Isn't it training with new recruits? After thinking about it, I finally remembered that I was injured by the explosion to save a recruit who threw a grenade.

It seems that he was not killed by the explosion, his life is really big enough, he must have been seriously injured, or his body can't be so heavy, as long as he doesn't die. Thinking of this, Li Yong's head understood, but his eyes couldn't open anything, but he could hear the sound and feel that there were many people around him. I must be in the hospital now, why is the hospital still so messy? I'm seriously injured, I must be in the special care room, why are there so many people in the special care ward? Thinking about it, the sleepiness came up again, no matter what, let's go to bed first, Li Yong fell asleep again.

I don't know how long it has been since this sleep, Li Yong, who woke up from his sleep, felt that he was much better, his head was clear, his body was also energetic, and his eyes could be opened. It's not much stronger than a miscellaneous hospital, why are there so many wounded? They won't all be as unlucky as themselves, right? Also blown up by a grenade?

Why are the hospitalized wounded and the nurses running back and forth wearing different clothes than their own troops? Take a closer look, isn't this the Kuomintang military uniform in movies and TV, I understand, these people should be filming movies or TV or something, this should be the performance scene, but there is something wrong, even if you make any movies or TV, you can't use your seriously injured person as an extra?

While Li Yong was thinking about himself, a beautiful little nurse wearing a Kuomintang military uniform inside and a white trigram outside came over, looked at Li Yong's open eyes and said, "Oh, are you awake?" You've been sleeping for days. ”

Li Yong opened his mouth and said, "Hello, may I ask what kind of place is this?" How did I get here? This little nurse doesn't seem to be very old, it is estimated that she is about 20 years old, and when she heard Li Yong talking to her like this, she immediately said: "Oh, it seems that your brain is really confused, and the person who sent you here said that you are from the Third Division and the Ninth Regiment, and of course this is a field hospital." Li Yong didn't squeak for a few minutes, and then asked, "Which third division and ninth regiment is it?" Who is the top head of our troops? How did I get hurt? ”

As soon as she heard this, the little nurse was happy, "I see that you are very energetic and don't look stupid, why don't you know anything, of course our supreme commander is Commander Hu Zongnan, you, you were hit in the head by the communist artillery fire when attacking Yan'an." Hearing this, Li Yong pinched his thighs vigorously, and it hurt very much. I didn't dream, now should be the time to be awake, after thinking about it, Li Yong said to the little nurse, "Can you please find me a mirror?" The little nurse immediately said, "Look at you, what kind of mirror does a big man look in?" You were hit on the right side of your head by the skin of a cannonball, so you can get a scar, and it's okay if your hair grows out, you don't have to be afraid if you don't break the phase. After saying that, he laughed.

It's ridiculous that the little nurse still took out a small mirror from her pocket and said to Li Yong: This is my own, you can use it. Li Yong looked at himself in a small mirror, and the person in the mirror was a young man, who seemed to be about 20 years old, and he looked very good, but he had lost a little weight. Seeing this, Li Yong understood everything, it seems that he still died in the explosion, it should have been in that grenade explosion that he died, after his death, his soul traveled through time and space to the pre-liberation for a reason that he didn't know, and attached himself to a wounded Kuomintang soldier who was killed by the explosion.

But this time it came before the liberation, and the year Hu Zongnan attacked Yan'an should have been March 1947. Thinking of this, Li Yong returned the little mirror to the little nurse and said, "Yan'an, take it down?" The little nurse said, "Not yet, but it's almost there, I heard that it has hit 8 Libao in the south of Yan'an." At this point, the little nurse said, "I'm leaving, you have a good rest, I have other things to do." After speaking, he turned around and left, took two steps, turned back to Li Yong and smiled and said, "You don't even know what your surname is, right?" If you really don't know, look at your bedside card. After saying that, he smiled and left. Li Yong immediately turned around and looked at the card on the bedside, only to see that it was written, Li Erdan, male, 19 years old, 3rd Division, 9th Regiment, 2nd Battalion, rank: private, it seems that his current name is Li Erdan. Although he is also surnamed Li, this name is really not very good, and at first glance, he knows that he is a big man who has never studied, and he must change it when he has the opportunity in the future.

But now the most important thing is to quickly recover your body, and then find a way to escape, I am also a party member, or a company commander, although I am almost the oldest company commander in the whole regiment, but in any case, I am also the company commander of our army. Since the year he went to the military academy, he has been a veteran of 13 years of military experience, since he is a soldier, sacrifice is sacrificed, but he didn't expect to borrow the corpse to come to the liberation before the liberation, and come to our army's troops, but he came to the Kuomintang troops of Hu Zongnan who attacked northern Shaanxi, or was injured in the head by our army's own artillery fire when attacking Yan'an, is this a thing, it is too depressing, but Li Yong thought again, no matter what, he can be regarded as living anew, since God let me live anew, then I must live a new life, don't be so sloppy as before, you haven't even mixed up with a daughter-in-law in your thirties.

Thinking of this, Li Yong slowly went to the ground, went outside for a walk, exercised more to eat more, and recovered his body earlier. After getting off the ground, I feel that my current height is not low, about 1.75 meters, but I have lost a little weight, and my body and strength are far worse than before.

In the past, he was a stick guy with a height of 1.81 meters and a weight of 85 kilograms, and he didn't say anything about military affairs. There were a lot of wounded soldiers outside the room, and Li Yong came to the most chaotic group of people, listening to these wounded talking about the situation of the attacking troops, and after listening to them for a while, Li Yong understood that now the forward troops of the Kuomintang had broken through the defensive positions on the periphery of our army and began to carry out a direct attack on Yan'an.

The retreating Northwest Field Army, under the command of Mr. Peng, used guerrilla warfare and movement warfare to not only eliminate the main force of the Kuomintang, but also liberate the entire northwest.

After thinking about that period of history, Li Yong made up his mind to return to his own troops, if he wanted to run out, he must hurry up, and it will be even more difficult to find our army's troops that mainly focus on sports warfare in the future, it seems that the time left for himself is already very tight, he must run out to join his own troops, and what is going on in the Kuomintang troops, in a few years the Kuomintang will be finished, and the whole country will be liberated, so he must seize the opportunity to give full play to the strengths of knowing history and do some work, and he must take action quickly. Otherwise, it will be very difficult to run by yourself after the Kuomintang occupies Yan'an, but it is not so easy to run, at least you have to have something to eat, or you will only starve to death in the sparsely populated northwest before the liberation.

The next morning, when the nurse was doing rounds, it was still the little nurse who came, and Li Yong secretly said to the little nurse: "I have something to trouble you?" At this time, Li Yong had already taken a bath, shaved his face, cut his hair, and changed into a washed military uniform.

The little nurse looked at it and said, "I didn't expect you to be quite handsome, no wonder I borrowed a mirror and said something." Li Yong whispered: "The food in the army is not very good, I can't eat enough, can you think of something for me?" The little nurse thought for a moment and said, "Let's do it, the head of the cooking class of the health team is my fellow countryman, and I will ask you for two more biscuits every day." Li Yong was overjoyed, what he wanted was a big cake, what would he eat when he didn't run? Thinking of this, he hurriedly said to the little nurse: "Thank you, sister, you are my own sister." The little nurse smiled and said, "What sister is not a sister, flamboyant, I am older than you and should be called sister." I'm twenty years old this year, one year older than you, remember to call me sister in the future. After saying that, he smiled again. Li Yong patted his head and remembered, he is not thirty-one years old but nineteen years old now, of course he has to call this little girl sister, but he always feels that his heart is strange, it should be the relationship between his actual age and the age of this girl in his heart.

I can't care so much, my sister is my sister, as long as she can give her the big cake and ask for it, she can call her grandma. Li Yong whispered to the little nurse: "What is your name, sister, my brother will repay you in the future." Unexpectedly, this little nurse who loves to laugh squirmed and said, "My name is Hu Xiaoling, you can call me Sister Ling in the future." Li Yong himself felt a little funny, calling a 20-year-old girl his sister, thinking that he was really a little shameless.

Five days later, the wound on Li Yong's head was removed, and his body was basically recovered, Li Yong knew that the time for him to leave had come, and Hu Xiaoling gave him two big cakes every day in the past few days, and he secretly saved two, and there were more than ten big cakes wrapped in his own broken military uniform, and the relationship between Li Yong and Hu Xiaoling was also sharply warmed, Li Yong called his sister very smooth, and the other soldiers in the same room looked at it as an envy, and whenever Hu Xiaoling brought him a cake, other soldiers coaxed: "Look at my sister looking for a lover." ”

At this time, Hu Xiaoling would glare at those soldiers fiercely: "How about looking for it?" I just see that he is pleasing to the eye, and you all want to go if you have the law. Li Yong also likes this cheerful and smiling girl, I feel that I am very happy with her, and the two of them talk a lot when they are together, so I don't really like this little girl, right? Is it possible for just a few days? No matter what, you have to go, a manly husband starts a business first and then starts a family, now is not the time to think about this issue, and he is not qualified to think about it. But if you just go like this, I'm really a little sorry for others, I can see that Hu Xiaoling also likes herself, and she has to think of a way, no matter what, she is also a manly husband, and she has something to say in the open, although the older generation of women is not very good to herself, but she can't bring this kind of psychology to the present.

After dinner, Li Yong invited Hu Xiaoling to the woods by a small river near the station, the vegetation on the mountains in northern Shaanxi is not very good, the trees are not high, most of them are some low and messy trees, Hu Xiaoling's face is red and I don't know what he is thinking, Li Yong's heart is also very messy, he has talked about a lot of objects before, but he doesn't feel like being with Hu Xiaoling, he picked a place where the two of them can sit down for a few minutes and no one spoke, Li Yong straightened out the thinking in his head and slowly said to Hu Xiaoling: " Xiaoling: What do you think of the current situation in our country? ”

Hu Xiaoling thought for a moment: Why did you ask me out and tell me this? I am not Chairman Chiang or Commander Hu, and I know about any major national affairs. Thinking of this, he said to Li Yong: "I am a little nurse, I have studied in the health school for two years, and I know what national affairs there are." Li Yong said slowly: "Our country fought for 14 years before and after the War of Resistance Against Japan, so many people died, and finally defeated the little devil, now we are fighting a civil war, but the dead are all Chinese, although it seems that the ** is dominant now, but who will do the world in the future is not certain." ”

Hu Xiaoling said strangely: How can it not be? How much power can it have? Isn't Yan'an about to be taken? Won't Yan'an be defeated as soon as it is taken? Of course, we are the best in the world. Li Yong smiled and said to Hu Xiaoling: "It won't be so simple, ** people are not stupid, they are very fine, I have seen ** on protracted war, it is too cleverly written, to be honest, I don't think that there is anyone in ** who can write such a good book, including our Chairman Jiang." ”

Hu Xiaoling continued: "What if you can write a book? Can it be proved that ** can sit in the world? Li Yong said: "Although writing a book can't explain anything, it can always prove that ** is a genius military strategist, can such a genius great military strategist admit defeat so lightly?" And it is very united, and the internal cohesion is very high.

If you look at us again, the bureaucrats of the government and the army are intriguing with each other, ** reborn, if such a government can still be maintained in peacetime, it will be enough during the war years, you know the Soviet Union, before the Great Patriotic War in the Soviet Union, Stalin carried out a purge in the army, and all the officers who were dissatisfied with him and had opinions on the current policy were purged, and all the officers who were reserved were accommodating and obedient to Stalin, most of these officers were usually officials who catered to the minds of their superiors, and they had a large set of skills. I didn't have any real skills, and I couldn't see anything in normal times, but after Germany attacked the Soviet Union, I found that most of these officers who climbed up by boasting were stupid people with inferior military qualities.

As a result, the Soviet Red Army suffered a great loss, and more than a million were captured at the beginning of the war. Stalin also saw the root of the problem through the facts, and promoted a large number of capable commanders in the later stages of the war, including Zhukov, Chuikov, Marshal Balagmiyan, and other officers who were not favored before. As a result, the war has gradually improved, and our **now** everywhere, people with relationships are promoted like flying planes, it doesn't matter that it is useless to be tired to death with great ability, officers deduct military salaries, corporal punishment of soldiers, eat empty quotas and other phenomena are stored in large quantities, and now this phenomenon is not only not getting better but also worsening tendency, how can we defeat ** with such a force? If you look at the ** troops, I heard that the treatment of the ** army commander and the soldiers are the same, the officers and soldiers are equal, the officers and soldiers are like brothers, and we ** are two different worlds, can such an army be defeated by us? ”

Speaking of which, Li Yong is a little strange, why doesn't this girl squeak? Turning his head to see Hu Xiaoling holding his chin in both hands and looking at him intently, Li Yong hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with you stupid girl?" I don't have any flowers on my face, what are you trying to look at? Hu Xiaoling shook her head and said, "Erdan, where did you know so many things?" How do you know about foreign things, true or false? Li Yong hurriedly said: "Of course it's true, what's the use of me lying to you about these things?" Xiaoling, my injuries are basically healed, and I'm about to leave. ”

Hearing Li Yong say that he was leaving, Hu Xiaoling hurriedly said: "Erdan, you are a big soldier, you have to go to the front line when you return to the army, you can easily be killed, don't you look at those wounded soldiers?" As long as they can stay a few more days, who wants to go? Don't be too stupid, stay a few more days in the health team, maybe a few more days Yan'an will take it, and you will be fine when the battle is over. Li Yong said to Hu Xiaoling movingly: "Thank you Xiaoling, I will pay attention to it myself, don't worry." Hu Xiaoling suddenly said to Li Yong as if she remembered something: "Erdan, what's going on with you today?" Either call me Xiaoling or a stupid girl, and you don't call me my sister, do you want to rebel? Li Yong hurriedly said: "I'm sorry Sister Lingling, I forgot, next time I must pay attention, I have a note for you here, you can read it tomorrow morning, it will burn after reading it, remember?" ”

Hu Xiaoling said: "What is so mysterious? Li Yong hurriedly said: "It's nothing, you will know it when you see it, Xiaoling, go back, I want to sit for a while." Hu Xiaoling said: "Okay, I'll go." While walking back, I thought: What's wrong with this Li Yong? asked the girl to come out, but he said a lot of national events, and I really didn't understand what he meant, so I went back and talked about it.

When I returned to my residence, I couldn't help but take out the note, what is it that Erdan made so mysterious. When I opened it, I saw that it was written: Xiaoling, I'm leaving, I feel that the Kuomintang can't grow, I'm going to go my own way to vote **, thank you for taking care of me these days, if I don't die, I will definitely repay you, and finally tell you a secret, my real name is Li Yong.

Not to mention Hu Xiaoling's reaction, after Li Yong waited for Hu Xiaoling's figure to return to the barracks, he immediately slipped out of the back mountain along the trail, and at this time Li Yong had a military kettle, which he also brought back from the front line when he was wounded, as well as more than a dozen large cakes wrapped in torn military clothes. Walked all the way to the north, kept walking, when I felt confused, I looked at the Big Dipper in the sky, walked for a whole night, I felt that at least I walked out of the mountain road that could have dozens of miles, and I couldn't walk at dawn, so I sat down to rest, nibbled on half a cake and drank a few sips of water, and then continued to walk after recovering some energy and identifying the direction, Li Yong knew that he should go as far as possible, the farther he walked, the smaller the possibility of being caught back, and the safer he was.

After walking for a few days in a row, Li Yong's heart gradually relaxed, he knew that the place where he lived was a field hospital of the Kuomintang troops, and there were no combat troops nearby, but he found that he had run away, and there would not be many people who could free up their hands to chase him, so his heart slowed down as soon as he relaxed. After walking for another three or four days, it is estimated that he can run at least more than 200 miles of mountain roads, and finally saw a village when Li Yong's big cake was about to be eaten.

Seeing that there were people, Li Yong's mental calculation was half lowered, if he couldn't see anyone for two more days, he would have to starve to death before he found the troops. Walk closer to see, is a village that can have more than 100 households, northern Shaanxi is sparsely populated, more than 100 households is not a small village, Li Yong found a yard by the edge of the village, knocked on the wooden door in front of the yard, with the sound of Li Yong knocking on the door, out of the cave out of an old man, this old man is tall, with a gray beard, and walks very tough. He looked at Li Yong and said, "What are you doing?" What's the matter? Li Yong knew that the villagers in northern Shaanxi were very vigilant, so he panicked and said: "Uncle, I am a scout of our team, I am out on a mission, I am wearing the clothes of a Kuomintang soldier, I really can't walk, and I have run out of dry food, can you let me rest and eat something?" ”

Scout? The old man looked at Li Yong, then I asked you, "Which unit are you from?" What is the name of the head of your unit? Li Yong hurriedly said: "Uncle, I am the 2nd Column of our Northwest Field Army, our commander is called Wang Zhen, he is the former commander of the 359th Brigade, the one who opened up the wasteland in Nanniwan, our column was formed on the basis of the 359th Brigade, and we are now called the 2nd Column." The old man was happy when he heard it: "Good boy, it's really your own person, if the enemy won't know so much, hurry up and enter the house." After speaking, he let Li Yong in, and then shouted to the old woman to hurry up and cook, and a comrade from the team came.
