Li Ziyuan ignored Li Ziyun's back-glaring gaze, but continued: "Let me tell you Li Ziyun, there are some things I don't really want to say. But you remember it for me, take care of your mouth in the future, and don't make trouble for my old chief. I'm not your husband, I don't need to get used to you all day, all the pressure is on my own. I'd rather suffer a little grievance than let you bear any pressure. ”

"Have you ever wondered why before entering Sichuan, the old chief was suddenly transferred from his position as a troop leader? Even I, who was almost transferred from my current position as acting army commander, to the corps as a deputy chief of staff. If it weren't for the needs of the battlefield, and the commander didn't agree, I would have almost been hanged. ”

"And today they are coming, and if I were someone else, I would say these things? When have you seen me say a word more about this? If I still remember those things back then, I tell you that even if the commissar gives an order, it is useless. You should remember that in war years, you must have the way to live in war years, and when there is peace, you must adapt to the changes in peacetime in the shortest possible time. ”

"During the war years, you may have been a priceless treasure in the eyes of many people, but in peacetime, when a large number of intellectuals poured into the army, can you still be the same as before? Slap the table with your dean and political commissar at every turn, who gave you so much power. From now on, you will leave me at the Military Medical College and teach you honestly. Don't make any nonsense. ”

Li Ziyun was stunned by Li Ziyuan's words. It was the first time he had heard Li Ziyuan speak to himself in this tone. She wanted to refute, but when the words came to her mouth, she realized that there were some things that she really couldn't refute.

Li Ziyun, who finally closed his mouth under Li Ziyuan's scolding, chose to remain silent. The old man who had been pondering Li Ziyuan's words over there suddenly said to Li Ziyun: "What the fifth said is right, I think I will do what the fifth said will do." Hand it over, and all the possessions are given to the state. ”

"Just like the fifth child said, my children and grandchildren have the ability to use what I leave for them, and if my children and grandchildren don't have the ability, leaving too much money will hurt them. In the name of building the Chengdu-Chongqing Railway, all the family property was donated. The family left this house in Nanchong City, and the family who stayed in Sichuan was enough to live. ”

Speaking of this, the old man looked at Li Ziyuan for a long time before he said: "It's still the People's Liberation Army training people, your eldest sister has also been a soldier for so many years, but there are still some things that you can't see through." I really didn't expect that the most of my children back then would now be the most promising. I didn't even think that I would have a time when I looked away. ”

"You kid doesn't recognize me or not, but I'm your father. I know we did go too far. Even a few of your brothers and sisters don't treat you as family at all. Here, I, the father, apologize to you for wronging you all those years. ”

"I'm old, and even if I can live, I won't live for a few years. But your nephews and nieces, as well as those brothers and sisters who remain in the country, still want you to take care of them when you can. You are much more mature than the boss and know more things, and it is more reassuring for me to hand it over to you than to give it to her. ”

For his cheap father, apologies to himself, Li Ziyuan twisted his head and didn't say anything. As for the words of taking care of him later, he just said lightly: "If you want to make them good, you have to live for two more years." We are not the kind of people who unload the mill and kill the donkey, and everyone can see the contribution you have made to New China. ”

"When you encircled and suppressed the Sichuan-Shaanxi base area and intercepted the Red Army on the Long March, you had already withdrawn from the Sichuan Army, and even if you calculated the account, it would not be on your head. As long as you live, the treatment will not be worse than that of several other rebel Sichuan army generals. Those few people walked back then, but they were much farther away than you. Rest assured, as long as you live, no one will settle accounts with you. ”

"You're there, as long as they don't cause anything too big. As long as there is no defection, even if there are some problems, the Central Committee and the Southwest Bureau will consider them as appropriate. So, you're their real tree. You live well, and you are better than anything else for them. As for me, I am a military man, and there needs to be to go there. ”

"At present, there is no tranquility along the southeast coast, and banditry is still rampant in a considerable area. I am now stationed in northern Sichuan, and I hope that tomorrow an order will be issued, and perhaps it will be transferred to the northeast. And there are some things that I don't want to interfere with. A discipline and organization held me down. So, if you want them to be good, try to live a few more years. ”

After Li Ziyuan's words, the old man didn't say anything, but just smiled faintly. That smile, but that kind of smile of relief. Although Li Ziyuan's words did not directly state, they at least illustrated one of his attitudes. There are some things, the point is enough.

Perhaps it was Li Ziyuan's remarks that when the Korean War broke out, the Southwest Military Region received an order from the Central Military Commission to form a corps to rush to Korea to participate in the war. Li Ziyuan, who was the acting commander of the North Sichuan Military Region at the time, was packing his luggage to study at the Nanjing Military Academy. He was ordered to cancel the study plan and command his old unit to be integrated into another army, with him as the commander to go to Korea to participate in the war.

After receiving the order, Li Ziyuan immediately rushed to the Western Sichuan Military Region to take over the troops in accordance with the order. It was only when he was mobilizing troops that he discovered that the army he commanded, in addition to his own division and one division of the army, was an old unit. The other division, because it had already been dispersed to various army divisions. The three regiments, almost all of which were hastily regrouped.

The division commander is still studying at the Nanjing Military Academy, and the current commander of the division is the political commissar of the division, and the political commissar of the division is acting as the former director of the political department. Because too many backbones were transferred, new local armed forces were formed, and other garrison armies were transferred. Of the soldiers of the whole division, the number of liberation fighters accounted for more than half.

This is also the general situation in the Great Southwest and Great Northwest regions that were the last to be liberated, and these regions were the last to be liberated. The area under its jurisdiction is quite vast, and at the same time, it is also a place where banditry is rampant. In order to consolidate the new political power, those veteran units with outstanding military achievements served as second-level military districts and military subdivisions in various localities.

Not only in the crackdown on bandits, but also in the unfamiliar environment and unfamiliar people's conditions, as well as under the new mode of operation, the casualties of various units were not small. At the same time, it adheres to the traditional habit that the PLA is not only a combat team, but also a task force and a propaganda team. A large number of cadres were transferred to form new local armed forces, and the cities were taken over to serve as directors of the military management commissions.

At the same time, a large number of backbone cadres and veterans have been transferred to the local armed work. and the restoration of a number of veterans and cadres to change the appearance of the new area as soon as possible. The southwest region is better because it faces the Tibetan Plateau and complex national borders. In the Northwest Region, almost the entire Northwest Field Army, with the exception of one formed army, has been transferred to localization.

In particular, under the circumstance that Xinjiang itself is unable to support a large army, apart from some of the troops being converted into sub-divisional armed forces to suppress bandits and fighting on the frontiers, and ensuring a few mobile divisions, most of the troops have even been converted into production and construction corps on the spot to open up wasteland for farming and develop Xinjiang.

In addition, the formation of the PLA's unprecedented air force and navy, as well as a series of new services such as the public security army and the railway army, has also taken away a large number of cadres and backbones. At present, there are few units that are fully organized, and some of them are transferred to other branches of the armed forces as divisions. In Li Ziyuan's original army, one division was transferred to other armies.

It's just that the situation is being adjusted now, and it's already a little too late. In desperation, Li Ziyuan could only propose to his superiors to transfer He Sanliang to take over as the division commander of the division. After consideration, the military region finally agreed with his opinion, and He Sanliang was reappointed as the commander of the division, and the original acting division commander continued to serve as political commissar.

Li Ziyuan commanded this corps and the other two corps incorporated into the corps, and turned from the southwest to north China under the starry night. After arriving in Hebei, the whole corps was trained for one month in accordance with the orders of the corps. It was supplemented with a batch of Soviet-made equipment, as well as adaptive training.

And in this month, Li Ziyuan did nothing. Two things were done, one was to provide political education for a large number of liberation fighters to supplement the troops, and the other was air defense and anti-tank training. Especially in anti-tank training, Li Ziyuan grasped it quite tightly.

It's a pity that the anti-tank weapons in his hands are limited, except for a few rocket launchers captured during the Liberation War, and a few recoilless guns, which are a batch of Soviet-made anti-tanks* supplemented by his superiors, as well as a batch of blasting canisters. And just a few bazookas, which are already almost all the equipment of his original corps.

However, before Li Ziyuan set off, he brought the Jinzao 150-millimeter heavy mortar that his army was equipped with. At the same time, he also brought hundreds of Sichuan horses. However, Li Ziyuan did not fail to conduct training in this area because of the small number of rocket launchers he was equipped with.

He knew that the People's Liberation Army (PLA) had few equipment, but the US military had a lot of equipment. I'd rather let people wait for equipment, and never equip people. In addition to the enemy's air superiority, the biggest threat faced by the volunteers on the Korean battlefield was tank superiority. In addition to the lack of air support, the most lethal threat to the Volunteer Army is the lack of anti-tank weapons.

During the month of training, Li Ziyuan demanded that every infantry company in the whole army should form a reserve antitank squad. Even if you don't have the equipment now, you have to learn the use of anti-tank rocket launchers and recoilless guns. And this squad, when the infantry is fighting, as long as they don't get the equipment, they are definitely not allowed to fight on the front line.

Li Ziyuan has only one request, and he resolutely achieves that once it is seized, it must be used. Although many people did not understand, under Li Ziyuan's tough attitude, this order was still carried out without discount. After a month of training, every infantry platoon in the whole army has an anti-tank squad that has no equipment available and can only use rifles to fight.

And the hundreds of Sichuan horses brought out by Li Ziyuan also made the whole training area miserable. These hundreds of Sichuan horses, together with the original horses of the three armies, put huge pressure on the local area just because of the supply of fodder. But Li Ziyuan is at this point, but no matter who does the work, he will never back down. Even in the case of insufficient feed, a part of the savings is taken from the human mouth.

And he demanded that the three divisions must be equipped with 300 horses each, in addition to the food and ammunition they carried. A hundred horses were used to carry spare ammunition, and the rest were all used to carry food. To this end, he not only carried a large number of Sichuan horses, but also gathered all the horses in the general to use them in a unified manner, ensuring that each division could meet its own required standards.
