Under the midday sun, the temperature in the Dongchang area of North Pyongan Province in North Korea has risen, and the snow has shown slight signs of melting, making it a nice sunny day.

The arrival of the large army of volunteers restored the rare calm of the past, and some old people who were in their old age came out of their residences and leaned on the sunny side of the dilapidated buildings to bask in the sun, and occasionally, a few children ran out of nowhere, giggling and playing.

The young and strong men went to the front, and even the girls had rifles on their backs, and the only people who could be seen on a regular basis were the old men and children, and, by the way, the women who carried all the work and labor on their shoulders.

A convoy was moving fast, and at this moment, there was one more person on the front jeep, and in addition to the platoon commander Ning Erzi and the KPA guide Jin Yingzi, there was also an additional cadre from the vigilant unit of the Volunteer Army Headquarters who was responsible for leading the way.

The cadre who was responsible for leading the way and greeting him was twenty-six or seventeen years old, with a shrewd and capable face, and it could be seen that he was also a figure who had experienced a big scene, he was the company commander of the headquarters guard company, and at this time he was discussing with Ning Erzi the big chief who his superiors asked him to come over to greet him.

The rank of the brigade commander is not worth it, and he can be regarded as a chief, but the age of this chief is ...................

"Comrade platoon commander, is it really your brigade commander in the car behind? Didn't blind me, did you? Even if you're younger than me, you can be a brigade commander? The company commander's tone was full of questions.

The commander of the guard company at the headquarters is not comparable to ordinary soldiers, not only is his combat quality higher, but even his vision is much stronger than that of ordinary people. There are hundreds of thousands of volunteers entering the DPRK, and there are countless heroes and heroes from all walks of life, but who has ever seen a brigade commander in his early twenties? Have it?

I've been asked a lot of times. Ning Erzi also had a certain immunity, and replied after a smile: "I said Comrade Company Commander, our brigade commander came to North Korea on the orders of Mr. Peng, can you ask Mr. Peng directly if you have any questions?" ”

Ask Mr. Peng? , who doesn't know Mr. Peng's temper? If I ask like this, I won't be scolded to death!! The company commander muttered in his heart.

At this time, Jin Yingzi knew that there was really a very important guy in the convoy she led the way, that is, the brigade commander who looked very young. What I didn't expect was that he was really transferred by the commander-in-chief of the Volunteer Army himself, did he have any great ability? However, look at his methods when examining enemy agents. It's a bit capable.

The two mountains are separated by an improvised road, and on either side of the road there are two more mountains on the sides and at the bottom of the mountain there are many mines and sheds, all of which are makeshift wooden houses and tin houses, and those that look black and slimy have a common characteristic. In front of each of the caves there are strangely erected rails that are old and expensive.

Others don't know what it means, but Li Yong knows it very well in his heart. This is a way to prevent US planes from dropping bombs directly into the mine, and it is also a last resort.

American pilots who have more than a few thousand flight hours are really good at technology, they can use the inertia of free fall to throw bombs into caves at ultra-low altitudes, and steel rails have become one of the local methods to deal with the eggs laid by US planes.

From time to time, figures in military uniforms swayed in the wooden houses and mines, and the people in and out seemed so busy that few people were looking at the small convoy.

Li Yong's heart beat faster, although he had never been to this place in his previous life or future life, but according to his memory and the scenes described in the materials he had seen. This is supposed to be the Great Elm Cave in Dongchang County, a place that became very famous in the future.

How long has it been since you saw Mr. Peng? It's been more than half a year. In the past, it was always common to see the boss when I was in the old Northwest Field Army, but after the official became older, he rarely saw the boss, which may also have something to do with the fact that the war is getting bigger and bigger.

Is it always fat or thin? Are you okay? With a head full of questions, the convoy got closer and closer to the clusters of sheds.

Is this the Big Elm Cave? This is the general headquarters and command center of the Volunteer Army? But this place is too simple, even Li Yong, a soldier who is used to living in the Northwest Field Army, is suspicious of the headquarters of the Volunteer Army, and this place is too dilapidated.

The tin house is not small, and it is connected into a piece, less than fifty meters away from the house is a mine with a large opening hole, and many antennas stretched out outside the hole indicate that this is a working command center, although it is very dilapidated but it is running normally.

The commander of the guard company who came from the convoy trotted in all the way to report, while Li Yong and the soldiers all gathered in front of the iron house.

Peng Lao is always the old head of the Northwest Field Army, and he is also the old head of the Independent Brigade, and when he wants to meet the old leader, not to mention Li Yong, even the ordinary soldiers are very excited.

The door opened with a "squeak", and the commander of the guard company beckoned to Li Yong: "Come in, the chiefs are waiting for you." ”

Li Yong straightened the wind and discipline buckle on his body, straightened the helmet on his head and the pistol on his waist, and felt good about himself.

He Cuihua, the deputy company commander, was busy stretching the hem of Li Yong's clothes, wiped the front and back of his chest a few times, and looked left and right in a circle, and finally said with satisfaction: "Very good, let's go in." ”

Deputy Company Commander He's actions were done in front of all the soldiers, such a move was similar to the current men's and women's buildings in the uncivilized culture at that time, so everyone's eyes were weird, Brigadier Li didn't have time to explain anything, the soldiers could think whatever they wanted, and he was now going to see the old chief who was thinking day and night.

Strode in and walked into the tattered headquarters of the Volunteer Army.

The light in the room was much darker than outside, and Li Yong, who came in coldly, couldn't adapt to it for a while, and he didn't see which one was Mr. Peng, but he saw in a trance that there were at least a dozen people in the room, who were looking at him together at the door, looking at this young PLA brigade commander, no, now it should be called the volunteer brigade commander.

There is no need to look closely, the people in the room must be chiefs, and they are all great chiefs, Li Yong used the most standard military standing posture to "snap" his heels and salute: "Report, Li Yong, commander of the Independent Brigade of the Second Field and Eighteenth Army of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, was ordered to come and ask the chief for instructions." ”

Li Yong's military posture is not to be said, the graduates of the regular military academy are also counted among the PLA troops in the entire northwest, and they are clean and handsome.

How long can it last? For more than a minute, no one spoke, and everyone looked at the PLA commander who came day and night.

This young man was transferred from Shigatse in the southwest of the Great Southwest by Mr. Peng? Good guys, a little too young, that is, just in their twenties!!

Finally, a deep and deep voice sounded: "Everyone take a closer look, this is my old Peng's soldier, how about it, it's not bad." ”

Li Yong, who was accustomed to the darkness in front of him, saw at once that the old soldier standing in the middle of more than a dozen people was the commander-in-chief of the Volunteer Army and the old head of Li Yong - Mr. Peng.

Li Yong's eyes were moist, and he didn't feel anything when he could often see Mr. Peng, but he hadn't seen him for more than half a year, so Li Yong understood the status of Mr. Peng in his heart, and it was still the same as before, Mr. Peng was always the god of war of the People's Liberation Army in his mind.

Li Yong went from a captive soldier of the Kuomintang to the present thanks to a few people, including Commander Wang of the First Corps, Deputy Commander Chen of the Second Army (later transferred to the Fifth Army as political commissar), Commander Zhao of the Fourth Division, that is, the former Commander Zhao of the Second Regiment, and the other is Mr. Peng in front of him.

Without Mr. Peng's support, what ace independent brigade may have been stillborn before it was born, and he Li Yong is very likely to be a small soldier in the gale, and it is very likely that he has already been glorious in many major battles, and his bones have long been turned into a pile of rot.

After walking a few steps, he stepped forward and grabbed one of Mr. Peng's outstretched hands, and said in a choked voice, "Mr., how are you doing?" We miss you so much. ”

This is the difference between the old subordinate and the ordinary person, Li Yong didn't ask how the battle was, nor did he ask what he was doing here, but just asked how the boss's body was, which was a greeting from the heart.

Peng Lao is always a very strict person, extremely serious about his work, and very strict with his subordinates, coupled with his high position and prestige, there are few people in the PLA who are not afraid of him, and he is also a little moved today.

A broad palm reached over and gently wiped a few tears from the corners of Li Yong's eyes:

"Little Li Yong, don't be so childish, aren't I very good, are you and the soldiers okay?"

The head of the room was full of jaws almost falling to the ground, my God, Mr. Peng still has such a warm side? Is this still the feared commander-in-chief of the Volunteer Army!!

"Boss, we are all very good, we are also developing very well in Shigatse, the troops have gained a firm foothold, and we are waiting for the spring of next year to carry out large-scale production of land reclamation."

"Hehe, Xiao Li Yong, you did a good job, but now that I have transferred you to North Korea, I have to take out the previous spiritual head, you know? By the way, you didn't come alone, did you, where are the warriors? ”

"Report to the boss, it's all set up outside, I brought a guard company."

Hearing that Li Yong brought over a guard company, Mr. Peng called out to the leaders who were with him in his deep voice: "I said everyone, don't be stunned, let's go out together to see how my old Peng's soldiers are?" ”

Huhula and a room of people all came out, since they want to see it, let's watch it together to see what kind of soldiers Mr. Peng's old subordinates are.

The guard company outside the house had already completed its formation, and the more than 200 people of the company stood in three squares in platoons, with company commander Li Yuming, instructor Li Jia, and deputy company commander He Cuihua standing at the front of the team.

According to Li Yong's standards in later generations, the military posture training of the independent brigade is a daily subject, and the two guard platoons and one reconnaissance platoon are the elite of the whole brigade.

Thank you old guys for your support and tips, thank you. (To be continued......)
