Chapter 68: The Next Step
Li Jiangguo and Ma Quanyou took two platoons of soldiers and a hundred veterans assigned to them by the headquarters to practice riding horses while marching, so that the time on the way back was much slower, fortunately, they did not have a combat mission, so everyone was not in a hurry, and practicing horseback riding was also a task given by the company commander.
Li Jiangguo curiously asked a soldier from the headquarters: "Comrade, who are all the leaders in the general headquarters who are talking to us?" ”
The soldier replied: "Platoon commander, there are many chiefs in the headquarters, how do I know who you are talking about?" After listening to Li Jiangguo's simple description, the soldier said: "The gray-haired one is our boss Peng, and the one wearing a leather jacket is Xi Zhongxun's political commissar, I can't guess anything else." ”
Li Jiangguo didn't speak for a long time, and then he nagged his aunt and said: "It's the first time I've met such a big official, so it's no wonder I'm nervous." ”
Ma Quanyou on the side said impatiently: "Jiang Guo, not only are you nervous, but I am also jumping in my heart, you have worked in the guard company anyway, and you have seen a few chiefs, we can't do it, the biggest officer I have ever seen is our brigade commander." ”
The soldier who spoke to the two of them said a little funny: "You don't have to be nervous, our leaders are all fine, it's okay to say something wrong, the leaders train leaders, especially those middle and senior commanders, who have been criticized for doing wrong things, but the leaders never train our soldiers, and when they have time, they often visit us, and they chatter with us, and they are very kind." ”
Hearing this soldier say this, Ma Quanyou said in a sullen voice and made the surrounding soldiers laugh: "I know this time, I will say a few more words next time I see the chief, this time the chief has seen a lot, but unfortunately he didn't say a few words, and let Li Jiangguo, this kid, snatch the words." ”
"I said everything, you can't pull to blame the thatched house, you can't raise your son Lai Zuzong, what do you care about me when you see that the chief doesn't dare to speak?" Li Jiangguo only walked by himself, and he didn't even look at Ma Quan.
When Li Jiangguo and Ma Quan returned to their company's garrison a few days later, there were more than 40 recruits trained by instructor Wang Chengde.
In the early years, many of the villagers in northern Shaanxi had worked in Liu Zhidan's Red Army and Red Guards, and the younger generation was influenced by the older generation to have a deep understanding of the troops, and they immediately had a sense of belonging to the troops, and they thought that the troops were their home, and such soldiers were the best soldiers, and their numbers were very beneficial to the development of the troops.
When they came to the 100 veterans of the special service company, they immediately felt that they were different from the main force, the food of the special service company was much better than that of the main force, and starvation was a common thing in the main force. Then again, although we are not afraid of starvation, wouldn't it be better not to starve, which goes back to the fact that the spy company not only does not starve, but also often eats meat, which is unthinkable in the main forces.
Li Jiangguo and the next day they came back, the company commander Li Yong also came back with people, Li Yong went for a few days, but there was basically no capture, the artillery platoon was not a single shell left, all the shells were gone, and it was really like Wei Gang said that the bell was going to ring.
The soldiers who came back with Li Yong all said that this group of enemies not only had no weapons, but also did not have much money, and only found a few pieces of ocean from the dead enemy officers, and there was nothing on the small soldiers.
The hundred veterans who were newly coming from the headquarters all looked at this young company commander curiously, they all knew a little bit about the origin of this company commander from the original chief's mouth, and they all wanted to see what this legendary company commander looked like.
Seeing the 100 veterans brought back by Li Jiangguo, Li Yong was very happy, these veterans are the backbone of the special service company in the future, and the troops will still develop, these people are all treasures.
Li Yong said to these 100 veterans: "Comrades, welcome to come, looking forward to the stars and the moon, finally looking forward to you, I will now tell you about the situation of our company, everyone may know that we have fought a few beautiful battles and captured some weapons and materials, but what I want to say to you is that these are only superficial phenomena." ”
"Why do you say this to your comrades, because we have fought these battles in a smooth and hand-to-hand battle, and we have not encountered hard stubble, but once we have encountered hard nails and hard-to-gnaw bones, what should we do if the troops fall into a state of stalemate? Whether I can withstand it, whether I can go up, whether I can grit my teeth and persevere, I don't know the bottom of my heart. ”
"Why do you say that, because the composition of prisoners in our company is too high, more than two-thirds, although it is said that there has been a change in thinking after education, there is still a gap compared with the veterans of our army, which is also the reason why I asked the head of the headquarters to send some veterans, you will go to the recruit platoon from tomorrow to train with more than 100 prisoners and more than 40 new fellows who have joined the army."
"We must be familiar with the combat methods and characteristics of our company, and we must also set an example, unite other comrades well, and do a good job in their ideological work, and each of you must do a good job in the ideological work of one or two people, so that they can become real PLA soldiers, and let them think from the bottom of their hearts that they are members of the people's army.
Most of these 100 veteran soldiers are the backbone of the army and the troops, knowing Li Yong's intention to let them come, the head of the headquarters of course has to pick some good ones, these soldiers of course know the importance of our army's ideological work, a veteran soldier said: "Don't worry, company commander, we know how to do it, we must bring the new soldiers well, and when we get to the recruit platoon, we will set up a study group for every 10 people, and strive to let the new comrades integrate into our ranks as soon as possible." ”
Li Yong's heart is full of emotion, the ideological realm of our army's first members during the war years makes people respect, each of them can spontaneously work hard regardless of their ability or position, to unite everyone around them, endure hardships first, enjoy last, and sacrifice life and death when fighting, regardless of their lives, how many ** soldiers leave the hope of life to others, and leave the danger of death to themselves, which is also one of the reasons why our army can conquer everything and be invincible.
At the cadre meeting in the evening, Li Yong made his decision: "The main force of our army is about to enter the trilateral division, and the trilateral division currently only has the 100th Brigade of Ma Bufang in Ningxia and the 82nd Division of Ma Hongkui in Qinghai, which is no longer the opponent of our army at all, and it is not difficult to recover the trilateral division. “
"So we don't even follow the main force into the trilateral division, and we can't help much, but we have to return to the area of Zhenwudong, the whole company has more than 800 people, we have to carry out a new round of training, and we have to make up for weapons and equipment, from tomorrow we will send people to the nearby county towns of Heshui, Quzi, and Qingyang, and go to the blacksmith shop in the city to buy small pieces of thin iron plates and cutting tools, buy as many as you want, our body armor can't always be furnished, these things are in charge of Sun Quanhou's reformation, and they must be completed within three days, don't be afraid of spending money, The lives of our fighters are not measured in terms of money. ”
