Chapter 520: Doubts
This is also the reason why Li Ziyuan, who was not much at the beginning, but had the idea of being a deserter more than once, why when others asked him how he followed him, who was only fifteen years old at the time, he answered the same way and followed. What are you kidding, if you want to say that he is frightened by the Security Bureau, he can only follow, and he must not be jerked to the end?
To tell the truth, the unlucky one can only be himself, and he is not really so real. However, it is precisely because of this rare and most painful experience in his two lives that Li Ziyuan's integration in this era has accelerated. At least in terms of thinking, it is not out of place with the whole era.
After the death test of snowy mountains and meadows, Li Ziyuan learned what true bravery is. Since then, I have never been afraid of death. After the death test of the snow-capped mountains and grasslands, Li Ziyuan will never frown even if it is a sea of swords and fire. It also made his blood and spirit truly integrated into this army.
Li Ziyuan himself didn't know that after experiencing the test of snowy mountains and grasslands, a trace of cowardice in his original personality would disappear so completely. He didn't even know that under the subtle influence of the people around him, his mood would change so much.
From the battle of Baizhang Pass, after the rain of bullets, the fear was terrifying. In the face of bullets flying everywhere, there will be no more frowns. Even if a dozen bayonets stabbed at him at the same time, there would be no more flinching. Completely completed the transformation from a scholar who had not even killed a chicken after a few decades to a warrior on the battlefield.
Of course, there are some deep-rooted things in his heart that can't be changed. He doesn't have the rigidity of the people of this era, and he still has a pretty good grasp of the flexibility and flexibility of certain things. This is also the main reason why many of his things have been criticized by some people.
For the experiences and tribulations of the past, the great transformation of the two lives as people, the changes brought to oneself. and his own mentality at that time, Li Ziyuan is still hard to forget. It's just that the old squad leader said that the people in the Security Bureau had been eyeing him, but he really didn't know.
But in this matter, Li Ziyuan thought that the old squad leader was not lying. Time has passed, and now is not what it used to be, and some things are no longer as they used to be, and they are on the line at every turn. Although the strict requirements of discipline have not changed, there will be no more repression. In the current situation, there is no need for the old squad leader to lie.
And with the old squad leader, he will not ask himself to repay him for anything. Moreover, he is also poor and white, with neither money nor other property, and he has nothing to get his hands on. The old squad leader said these things today, which should be a kind reminder.
As for the old squad leader's last reminder, it was also a good word for Li Ziyuan. After thinking about it, Li Ziyuan rubbed his hands and said, "Old squad leader, I still have to think about your affairs." I hope you'll give me some time to think about it, after all, it's not my business alone. ”
"And your final arrangement, I still have to discuss it with the head of the division. But the old squad leader, as your old subordinate, is also half a relative, I really hope that you don't leave, stay and help me, at least help me steer some issues. I'm still young, and sometimes young people have good ideas, but they are also prone to making mistakes. ”
"You stay, you can watch me a little bit, and help me brake and cool down on some issues. Don't wait for me to make a big mess, it'll be too late to say anything. Old squad leader, this is my heartfelt words. Stay, I can take good care of you. ”
Looking at Li Ziyuan's somewhat silent expression, the old squad leader still shook his head firmly. But in the end, he didn't say anything more, and turned away. Looking at the old squad leader's somewhat depressed back when he left, Li Ziyuan's brows were furrowed very tightly. For the kindness of the old squad leader, Li Ziyuan felt it. But for other things, Li Ziyuan still has to ponder and ponder.
The old squad leader, who had been hiding it before, how could he uncover something at this time that if he didn't say it, no one would know about it? I am older and can't keep up with the tense rhythm of the troops, so it's normal to ask for the troops. But there are some things that Li Ziyuan can't understand.
And the old squad leader said that he was originally a long-term worker in his own family, but this matter is said to be yes, and it can be said that it is not. As long as his hometown in this life is not liberated, there is no one to prove his words. At least when he met Li Zikang before, he did not reveal Li Zikang's true identity to himself.
If the old squad leader is really his own parent worker, Li Zikang, who is much older than him, should definitely not be a stranger. But the old squad leader didn't tell himself the true identity of Li Zikang, who had been hiding with him at that time. This made Li Ziyuan a little unclear about what the old squad leader's true intention was when he said this.
Li Ziyuan is still skeptical about this. The mother of this life has long passed away, and "I have never seen this son", who can prove his words? However, since he joined the Red Army, the old squad leader has cared for him, and Li Ziyuan can also feel it.
is just like what the old squad leader said, because the Red Fourth Front Army has not been stationed for too long in his hometown. After the defeat in the first battle of Baizhang Pass, he withdrew to the northwest of Sichuan. In the county where I live, it is located in the area where the western Sichuan Plateau passes to the Chengdu Plain, and it is a well-known and wealthy area.
The mild climate, abundant rainfall, and rivers originating in the mountains make this area a well-known and wealthy county. The mountains are full of tea plantations, the land that is suitable for cultivation in all seasons below the mountain, the bamboo forests and the primeval forests rich in precious wood, as well as various Chinese herbs and precious furs.
It is rich in itself, even if there is a scuffle within the Sichuan army, this tax has been received decades later. But as long as there are no major natural and man-made disasters, the lives of ordinary people will still go on. Generally, people in such places, let alone the army that rebelled like the Red Army and were slandered as bandits by some public opinion, were very few, even the Sichuan army.
At that time, the county of his own, it seemed that he was the one who came out to be the Red Army. If the old squad leader was telling the truth, he could only be regarded as half. It stands to reason that this kind of relationship between fellow villagers should be more intimate. But what happened before, Li Ziyuan didn't feel it.
But if he really has a close relationship with himself, then why didn't Li Ziyun recognize him when he was examined in the military division. And after Li Ziyun completed the review of the military division, he never mentioned this matter to himself. Even if he doesn't know him, if Li Ziyun wants to say that he is not familiar, then it is really wrong.
He didn't doubt that the old squad leader would be bad for him, but he didn't believe some words. Looking at the pack of old knife cigarettes that the old squad leader put on the table before leaving, Li Ziyuan fell into deep thought. Now that Li Zikang has an accident, it is better to be cautious.
I didn't have any relatives before, but now there are two of them at once. If what the old squad leader said is true, it would not be too much to say that he is his own relative. Li Ziyuan knocked on the table in front of him, and after thinking about it for a long time, he didn't understand the true intention of the old squad leader.
Li Ziyuan, who was confused, thought about it and decided that it would be better to discuss the matter of the old squad leader's place, or to discuss it with the head of the division. In fact, Li Ziyuan thought that it was the most appropriate arrangement to let the old squad leader serve as the supply director of his own army. When the old squad leader left his own army, Li Ziyuan talked to the head of the division.
Although the old squad leader has no education, he is also quite old. But he is honest and doesn't have too many fancies. During the Red Army, he served as the director of the regimental supply, but he only returned to serve as the leader of the cooking squad because of the downsizing of the troops. He is also familiar with the supply work. Having him as the director of supply is still a good person.
It's just that the old squad leader doesn't work hard, and would rather go to the regiment headquarters to be a cooking squad leader than be the supply director. He doesn't say the reason, and others are not very easy to ask. The party himself did not agree, and the matter was temporarily put aside, but the superiors never sent him another person here.
After thinking about it, Li Ziyuan still decided to wait until he returned to the partition. As for the present, one is to carry out a large-scale production campaign, and the other is to train the troops. Li Ziyuan still decided to wait until Ma Yongcheng returned from the sub-district meeting and then convened a meeting of cadres above the company level.
Li Ziyuan knew that he had to clearly grasp the degree between these two things. We must not allow agricultural production to undermine the training of the troops, nor can we leave the large-scale production movement aside. Looking at the blue sky without a trace of clouds, Li Ziyuan sighed. If God is not gracious and it rains a little, this year's harvest will be completely finished.
Today's agriculture is all about eating from God. If it doesn't rain, there will be no water to irrigate the crops. Especially in the base areas of Hubei and Ludong, most of them are hillside land. There is no other source of water and the dependence on rainwater is greater. If God doesn't give face, I'm afraid I can't count on this harvest.
Without a harvest, the common people will not be able to eat. The common people could not eat, and the army became a source of water. The most important thing is that the army has no combat effectiveness if it does not have enough to eat. In addition to some inevitable factors, there is also a very important point in the defeat of the Red Fourth Front Army at Baizhang Pass.
It is the second grassland where the troops have just gone through the most difficult, the most tossed, and the most scarce food. The troops, from top to bottom, were outside the level of severe exhaustion. The long-term food shortage has seriously affected the physical strength of the troops, and has also led to a sharp reduction in combat effectiveness and an increase in non-combat attrition.
Li Ziyuan still remembers that if he hadn't looked at the military flag, he would have almost never believed that this was the Red Army if he hadn't looked at the military flag, just looking at the cadres and soldiers with yellow muscles and thin skins and no clothes. On the rich Chengdu Plain, the Red Fourth Front Army, which went south that year, could not recruit soldiers, and was even called the second mold and the second stick, which is not for nothing.
The difference in combat effectiveness between troops that have been eating wild vegetables for a long time and those that are well nourished is the most severe gap in terms of combat effectiveness. This is not something that can be fully compensated for by willpower alone. Malnutrition is not as simple as not having enough to eat, but it has a real impact on combat effectiveness, and it will also lead to an increase in non-combat attrition. Even if there are no wounded, how can the army be brought with the sick number full of troops?
Last year, he relied on himself to take great risks to snatch out a batch of grain from under the noses of the devils, and then transferred a batch of grain from the north, which was not affected by the disaster, in addition to the superiors. And the disaster in the Ludong area is not too serious, so the entire Ludong Army sub-district has not been trapped in the city. But what about this year, what if this drought continues?
