After hearing the two of them, the people in the room were very excited, Li Yong said: "We promise the head of the headquarters that we will do our best to contain the enemy, please rest assured that the enemy wants to eat us is not so easy, we have sent a small detachment to make a feint to attract the enemy, according to our scouts, the enemy in Qingyang has taken their squad as the full strength of our company, except for one regiment left behind, the remaining three regiments are all dispatched to pursue our small detachment, let them chase, Take them around a few more circles, the fat ones will drag him thin, and the thin ones will drag him to death, and then we will start again.

Hearing Li Yong say this, the two scouts were very happy, and one of them said: "Company Commander Li, this is an old trick of our troops, and we didn't use it less before, so let's do it, drag them to death, and we must report the situation here carefully to the chiefs after we go back." ”

At noon, the two headquarters scouts who had slept looked at a large pot of hot stewed horse meat with wild vegetables and saliva was about to come out, and the two grabbed it and ate it, and said while eating: "I haven't seen oil for a long time, let alone eating meat, even millet hasn't eaten for a long time, and I have eaten black beans for a while, and horse meat is so delicious." ”

Li Yong also knew that the food of the main force was very difficult, but he didn't expect it to be so difficult, black beans are horse feed for horses, and it is nothing to eat a few meals occasionally, taking horse feed as the staple food for a long time has a great impact on the body, seeing the two gobbling up, several people in the department, including instructor Wang Chengde, have a little sour nose, our soldiers are so good, this is such food, no one complains about such equipment, no one complains.

After eating, the two said to Li Yong and Wang Chengde: "Company Commander Li, Instructor Wang, we can't stay, we have to leave in a while, if you have anything to say and what you want, we will definitely convey it to the leaders." ”

Li Yong: "Please tell the chief, we will do our best to contain the enemy's cavalry troops, at present it seems that our initial goal has been achieved, the enemy's cavalry has been dragged by us, the next action will begin soon, we will use a greater victory to repay the chiefs' concern, the specific content of the action can not be said because of the need for secrecy, we will report after the battle." ”

Li Yong asked the cooking class to prepare two dry food for the two, and wrapped a piece of cooked horse meat for each person, Zhang Jinsong found that the two only had fifty rounds of ammunition per gun when they searched for guns, which was deliberately brought a little more when they set off, or not even fifty rounds, Li Yong asked Sun Quanhou to take out two hundred shell gun bullets, and the two looked at things and said with a little emotion: "Company Commander Li, Instructor Wang, are all their own people, don't say thank you, take care of comrades." ”

Seeing the gradually blurred figures of the two cavalry scouts, Li Yong asked Li Yuming to inform the platoon commanders to hold a meeting in the afternoon.

At the meeting, Li Yong said: "Comrades, according to the report of Zhang Jinsong's reconnaissance platoon, the enemy in Qingyang has been transferred out by us with three regiments, and the enemy of these three regiments regards our small detachment as the main force of the company, and our small detachment is circling with them.

The strength of one regiment of the enemy is more than 1,200 people, and after excluding Li Jiangguo and Ma Quanyou's small detachment, we now have only more than 300 combatants, even counting the baggage platoon, which is less than 400 people, and the enemy's strength is three to four times that of ours.

According to the calculation of the strength of the troops in peacetime, this battle not only cannot be fought but also avoided as much as possible, but now we must fight, because the opportunity is rare, if the enemy's four regiments are crowded together, we will not be able to gnaw it, now there is only one regiment in the city, we have the opportunity to gnaw it, this is also our best chance at this stage.

Now I have ordered Zhang Jinsong's reconnaissance platoon to find out the enemy's garrison situation in Qingyang City within three days, focusing on the enemy's command organs at all levels and the deployment of firepower. ”

Li Yong also said to the four veterans who were in charge of the training of the recruit platoon: "We must do a good job in the ideological work of the prisoners and strive to transform them as much as possible. ”

After more than half an hour of discussion, a lot of comments and suggestions were raised, but there were a few that everyone thought were necessary.

First, we must not attack hard, the enemy is defending the city, we are attacking the city, and we don't even think about the hard attack of these hundreds of people with special agents.

Second, the soldiers who went into the city to reconnoiter should pick some old troops from the former enemy's northwest, especially those who have been tested in battle.

3. When the battle is initiated, it is necessary to find a way to open the city gate first.

After the meeting, Li Yong went directly to the recruit platoon, the recruit platoon was carrying out the activity of complaining about grievances, and the political and ideological work was the most powerful ideological weapon since the founding of our army, and these prisoners were all children of poor families, who did not have a history of blood and tears.

Looking at the tearful captives, several veterans asked the captured captives the question: Why has your family been so poor for generations? What do you want to be a soldier for? Why don't the children of rich and noble families go to the army? Why the war? What are you going to do in the future?

Li Yong was very satisfied with the work of several company veterans, walked to the prisoner and sat down and said: "Comrades, you can't mess around as a soldier in our ** army, you must have ideals, what are ideals, simply put, we must know why we are fighting, who we are fighting for, I have heard what you just said, every family has a bitter account, think about it, why do we live such a hard life?" How can you live like this? When can I be an upright person? ”

Seeing that everyone didn't speak and thought silently, Li Yong said again: "Most of the people in our ** army are poor, they are fighting the world for the poor, and they are the poor people's own team.

What I want to tell you is that our ideals are far more than these, we want to overthrow this cannibalistic old society, establish a new China without landlords and old wealth, everyone can live a decent life, then every household can live in a building, upstairs and downstairs electric lights and telephones, young people go to work together, children go to school together, the old people will retire when they reach the age, and the state will be responsible for the payment of salaries after retirement, and exercise in the park every day if they have nothing to do, and strive for everyone to live to be seventy, eighty, ninety, and one hundred years old.

This is the ideal of our ** people, so you have also seen it, this is the reason why the People's Liberation Army led by ** is fighting and not dying, do you say that such a day is good? Do you want to live like this? ”

When the captured soldiers heard this, they all said that such a good life is not a fool's idea. Li Yong continued: "But such a day does not fall from the sky, we want to live such a day, but those landlords and bureaucratic capitalists will not agree."

There is only one way, only by fighting with them, reforming their lives, knocking them down and then stepping on the soles of their feet, and letting us ordinary people be the masters of the house, we can live such a good life, you think about it carefully, see if this is the truth. ”
