Chapter VI Telephone Calls of Political Commissars
He will never forget the glorious traditions of the People's Liberation Army. He and the commissar got out of the car, and the guards and drivers followed, and the strength of the people was great, and they shouted one, two, and three, and everyone pushed the ox cart out of the mud pit. The North Korean villagers are gone.
In the early winter after the rain, after the sun set, the temperature difference was very large, and a cold wind blew, and he shivered, feeling a little cold. He urged everyone to get into the car, and after the car started, he may have been blown by the cold wind just now, and he felt that his brain was clear. Remembering the meeting just now, he was angry and said to Li Boru: "What kind of summary meeting is this, it's just a struggle meeting." โ
Li Boru said very calmly: "The battle was not fought well, and it is normal for the chief to criticize a few words. โ
Hu Yu said: "He doesn't know anything about the actual difficulties in our march, and he is simply criticizing indiscriminately. โ
Li Boru said calmly: "The result that the chief wants, the process is in our hands. โ
"What kind of chief is this?" Hu Yu complained.
"You can't say that about the chief!" Li Boru reminded.
After that, neither of them spoke, only the rumbling of the car engine.
The American jeep is a canvas canopy, which is particularly poorly sealed, and the car runs and pours cold air into it. Because it was early winter, they didn't change into cotton clothes, and they felt biting cold. He tugged at his clothes and tightened them tightly, but he still felt cold. The originally black and purple face became darker and darker, and the lips, which were usually a little healthier, also turned purple from the cold, and the body trembled slightly. The guard who sat in the front row of the deputy shelf, usually likes to talk and laugh, and has a smiley face, but when he saw Hu Yu's face, he also controlled his mouth and sat obediently, not talking or laughing. He knew Hu Yu's temper, and he could only be scolded if he was too talkative. Only the commissar was still smiling and looking out the window, wiping his glasses with a handkerchief from time to time, as if nothing had happened.
The jeep was bumpy in the hills, and the driver, in order to avoid the bombing of the hateful American planes, walked for a while with his headlights on, and then turned off the lights for a while. North Korea is already colder than Chinese mainland, but now it is after 10 o'clock in the evening, because it only rained yesterday, the ground is damp, the trees on the ground have white frost, and the car lights shine at night, which is particularly dazzling.
Hu Yu's headquarters is located in a birch forest, a species endemic to cold regions and particularly hardy, although the leaves have not fallen in early winter. A clearing was cut in the middle of the woods, and the cut trees were planted in the ground, according to the layout of the room, so that the trees were tied in two rows, and the middle was soil, which was both warm and insulated. The military headquarters are all built according to the layout of the headquarters, with the front being the command room, the outer room being the work of the staff officers, the inner room being the command room, and the rear being the rest place of the chiefs, but it is much smaller than the headquarters.
After the jeep entered the woods, it walked a shivering sentry to stop the car and ask for the password and check the people in the car. In normal times, Hu Yu can especially understand the soldiers standing guard, always say a word of hard work, ask about the cold, and say a few words of encouragement. Today, because of the meeting, he was very annoyed, and he was very annoyed when he saw the sentry asking the password, especially when the sentry opened the car door to check, and a cold wind blew into the car, he was even more annoyed. He was about to get angry, when the commissar hit him on the shoulder with his shoulder, and his mouth "shh Li Boru, his partner for so many years, has figured out his temper and can always stop him in time at critical times. It saved him a lot of unnecessary trouble. Hu Yu calmed down and knew very well in his heart that sometimes the fire couldn't be suppressed.
The jeep stopped in front of the command department, Hu Yuyi's face was bruised, he didn't talk to anyone, he pulled the car door and jumped down. The staff in the headquarters had been busy for a day, and it had already exceeded the rest time, because the chief had not come back from a meeting, and he couldn't rest, and he was worried that the chief would have a task when he came back, so he was chatting around the fire. Hu Yu suddenly slammed the door open and entered the house, Tie Qing's eyelids did not have a smile on his eyelids, and went straight into his command room in the back room. The soldier who was chatting was startled by his sudden knock on the door and came in, and saw that his face was full of unhappiness, and his eyes were about to burst into flames, so he immediately calmed down, and tiptoed back to his post, waiting for the task to be delivered. At this time, there was a "pop!" from the back room. Syllable! Everyone was stunned by the sound of falling things, and they didn't know what was going on, and no one dared to move, for fear of making a noise. At this time, political commissar Li Boru walked in, waved his hand and motioned for everyone to rest, and then followed into the back room. Li Boru entered the house and was thrown into a mess by Hu Yu, and Hu Yu was still throwing things before he was angry. Li Boru followed Hu Yu, he dropped the bowl and gave it to him, he dropped the bowl and gave him the cup. He knew him too well to listen to what he said without telling him to get angry.
That's when the phone rang. The messenger who had been waiting in the outhouse ran in to pick up the phone, and said to Li Boru: "It's the phone number of Political Commissar Wang of the headquarters. โ
Li Boru took the phone, and the voice of the political commissar Wang of the headquarters came from the receiver: "Lao Li, what is Hu Yu doing?"
Li Boru hurriedly covered Hu Yu and said, "We just arrived, and Commander Hu is sitting there." โ
The other guy said, "Don't hide it from him, I heard him drop things."
"What you hear is a drinking cup falling to the ground."
Political Commissar Wang said: "How did you learn to be flamboyant? Tell Hu Yu to listen to the phone. โ
He heard Li Boru's phone call with the political commissar of the headquarters, and even if he was very dissatisfied, he did not dare to get angry with the head of the headquarters. He pressed the fire hard, took the phone, lowered his voice an octave, and whispered, "Commissar, I'm here." โ
The political commissar reprimanded: "I see that there are more and more bad things about you. The battle was not fought well, and after a few criticisms, things were dropped, and the tiger's ass couldn't be touched. โ
Hu Yujue's grievances came home: "But, I ยทยทยทยทยทยท"
"What am I?" The commissar interrupted him, "The troops are moving slowly, delaying the fighters. When they arrived at the attack site, they were poorly organized and did not annihilate the enemy in time, resulting in several months of preparation for the headquarters. โ
Hu Yu also quibbled: "But yesterday's weather was stormy. โ
The political commissar said: "God is fair, it's not just your troops who are exposed to the rain, all the troops participating in the war are; And our enemies. โ
"However, when the troops arrived at the attack site, the enemy had already occupied all the attack sites, and our troops went up to four groups of observation posts, all of which were knocked out by the enemy blockers, and the artillery fire did not have any effect at all."
"The soldiers have a low level of education, most of them don't know how to read, and the headquarters understands it. I have already considered recruiting some college students to join the army, and when the students are in place, they will divide some of your troops. โ
After a slight pause, the political commissar said earnestly: "The battle has not been fought well, you must be brave and responsible, don't find so many reasons; Don't complain, summarize well, and strive to play well next time! โ
"But the commander wants to demote me to a logistics unit," Hu Yu almost cried: "From the Long March to the present, I have been the main force, and I am not in the front of the charge in any tough battle." โ
"Your military exploits will always be in the book of merit, and the headquarters will not forget them, nor will the party and the people forget them. As for demoting you to a logistics unit, that's the commander's angry words. Are you still the main force! โ
Hu Yu was relieved, and the commander of Jue knew everything about the situation of his front-line troops, and his criticism of him was well-founded. He couldn't figure out who gave the report. In general, the summary meeting is to listen to everyone's report first, and the leader makes a summary. As soon as the meeting began, the spearhead was pointed at him, and he thought that the chief did not understand the situation, criticized indiscriminately, and was particularly aggrieved. It was only through the phone call with the commissar that he understood that the headquarters knew everything about the situation in his troops. Was it the commissar and the chief of staff who reported? But they never left him, and the others were even more impossible. Without such conditions and opportunities, even if there is a chief, he will not be like a junior officer or soldier to understand the situation. Hu Yu couldn't figure it out, his eyes kept staring at the political commissar Li Boru, he didn't speak, and his eyes seemed to be looking for an answer in him. Li Boru didn't know what he was thinking, and he kept staring at him, feeling uncomfortable. He got up and went to the stove, took the teapot and poured a glass of water, and took a few sips. Hu Yu was still staring at him, he walked back and forth in the house a few times, and he still stared at him, and said, "What are you staring at me?" I don't have an answer. โ
"The chief's criticism of us does not seem to be ignorant of the situation."
"The battle that the chief looks at is a whole game of chess, the overall situation, and I don't know how to grasp the overall situation in each of our specific regions."
"The chief is the chief, much farther than I see." Hu Yu sighed, "It seems that I will never be the chief!" โ
After saying that, he laughed himself, Li Boru also laughed, and the two of them laughed loudly, laughing all the time to tears.
On the other side of the phone, the political commissar of the headquarters put down the phone and smiled at the commander who was looking at the documents, and the two looked at each other for a moment and both smiled. The commander smiled and asked, "How is Hu Yu, did you drop things again?" โ
The political commissar said: "You can still not fall." โ
The commander said: "This stupid boy, knock and knock every few days!" โ
The political commissar sighed: "This is a fierce general!" โ
The commander raised his head and said, "That's why I beat him, so that his dazzling collapse is tight, and I can't let him go." โ
The political commissar walked up to the commander, patted him on the shoulder with a smile and said, "How can I always see the shadow of your youth in Hu Yu." โ
The commander laughed.
The political commissar said: "This smile is more like, it is you who survives; That wild laugh that never admits defeat! โ
The commander smiled: "Otherwise, I like him so much!" โ
