Chapter 518: The Journey of the Heart
The old squad leader said to himself, and he didn't care that Li Ziyuan's face changed colorfully after hearing these words. For him, since the words have been spoken, let's simply offset them. There are some things that it would be better to explain earlier and more appropriately. And the old squad leader also felt that it was time for Li Ziyuan to beat, beat.
Over the years, although he is only a cooking squad leader. From the Hubei-Henan-Anhui period, he was the cooking squad leader, and when he arrived in Sichuan and Shaanxi, he was still the cooking squad leader. At the beginning of the Long March, he was also mentioned as the director of the regiment's supply. But because of the downsizing of the troops, the organization went back to be his cooking squad leader as soon as he gave the order.
After crossing the Yellow River to the east, with the continuous expansion of the troops, the higher authorities also wanted to promote themselves, but they refused. The reason is that there are now more and more educated young people in the army, and these positions are more suitable for the person who has ink. For this old squad leader, a job like a cooking squad leader who doesn't have to think about anything is still the most suitable for him.
It wasn't until the commander mentioned it to him and asked him to go down to Li Ziyuan's troops and help keep an eye on Li Ziyuan that he came down. It doesn't matter if you love the house and Wu, or if you care about Li Ziyuan. In the end, the old squad leader still decided to come down, but the commander made him the head of the regimental supply, but he resolutely did not agree.
He was the chief of the division of the military division, and he was also the chief of the division when he went down to Li Ziyuan's troops. It's just that in the regimental headquarters, there is also the post of secretary of the party branch. Although he is only a company-level cadre, his qualifications can be described as quite long. Even in the entire military sub-district, it is the most senior one.
Even the commander was a soldier he brought out at the beginning, and no one could compare with this qualification. Deep qualifications also mean that you know and master a lot of things, and you can see some things quite deeply. It is my own idea that I don't want to be an official, but the fact that I haven't gone up does not mean that this old qualified person understands a lot of things about the East and West.
This is also the real intention of the commander to let him come down in the first place, which is to let him watch some of it. Li Ziyuan violated discipline not once or twice, although his superiors also knew that he himself was still in Hubei, where the enemy situation was complicated, and he did not allocate weapons or troops. If he honestly and completely follows the discipline, not to mention development and growth, even survival is a problem.
But there are some things that you make a fuss about, and your superiors also know that you are trying to survive, so you can keep one eye open and one eye closed. But the superiors also have to let you understand that it is not completely without a bottom line, and the tolerance for certain practices is still limited. There are some things about you Li Ziyuan that you can't cross the bottom line again and again.
The commander asked the old squad leader to come down, just to check Li Ziyuan and look at him, don't really poke a hole in the sky one day. At that time, the consequences will be really difficult to make up. Li Ziyuan pushed Liu Yanlai to the position of secretary of the county party committee without any request and approval, although he was only an agent, but he had seriously violated political discipline.
When a county party secretary is appointed, even the prefectural party committee does not have this right. You Li Ziyuan dared to appoint an acting secretary without asking for instructions and reporting, who gave you such a big right? Although the division and political commissar of the military region were treated coldly, they were also given a formal appointment after investigation.
However, Li Ziyuan's approach in this matter has aroused great criticism in the entire base area. Many cadres disagree with Li Ziyuan's approach. At the meeting, a certain leader even publicly criticized this practice, proposing to investigate to the end and give severe punishment to those responsible. In the end, it was the political commissar who spoke, and Li Ziyuan was able to get through that hurdle without danger.
Dispersing activities is not for you to dominate yourself behind closed doors. Li Ziyuan is too young, the youngest regiment-level military commander in the whole military region. There is a set of leading troops to fight, but in some aspects, it is political, and some are still not reassuring. It's not that this guy will rebel, not a reliable person.
said that it is not reassuring politically, because Li Ziyuan, this guy, is still relatively inappropriate in the consideration of some issues, and even quite impulsive. In the end, he is still young, and although he is motivated to do things, he is a little too reckless. In the commander's opinion, it is more appropriate to have an old squad leader to check for him.
The old squad leader who shoulders this task, since he has already said it today, there is nothing to say. When he came in, he had already told Da Li not to let anyone hear the conversation between him and Li Ziyuan. With Da Li watching outside the door, the old squad leader was still relieved.
The old squad leader didn't care what the expression on Li Ziyuan's face was after hearing what he said. After lighting a cigarette, the old squad leader sighed and said, "That time it wasn't for that time when I found an old comrade-in-arms in the Security Bureau and said that you were just a child. Those who muttered in private, but some of them couldn't endure hardships, and it was too much to say that they would shake the hearts of the army. ”
"It's a bit of a shame to compete with a child. A half-grown child who has just joined the army, it is normal to have some fluctuations in his thoughts. The guy in the Security Bureau didn't pursue your nonsense. I'll pull down my old face and plead for you, I'm afraid that your kid will be in danger that time. ”
"The people you are in the Security Bureau are all eating dry food, even if the rebellion has basically stopped at that time, but your kid's typical behavior of shaking the morale of the army at that time really dealt with you. Everyone has climbed so many snowy mountains, and some snowy mountains have even climbed more than once, as far as you kid knows, climbing snowy mountains is dangerous. ”
"But you kid is okay, you've been doing well since three grassy crossings, and you've never thought of running away again. Even if he was injured and left behind in Gansu, he finally followed. After arriving in northern Shaanxi, he has always performed very well. From a soldier who came out little by little, he has now become a regimental-level cadre. ”
"I'm not telling you this today to thank me. I'm just telling you, you kid be careful in the future. You have a good brain and can fight, which is an advantage in the eyes of some leaders, and even if you cause trouble, everyone will protect you. If you don't make a big mistake in the future, you will go to a higher position. Not to mention being a division commander, even being a military district commander is possible. ”
"But you kid have to get it. Especially your flamboyant tongue, it doesn't matter for a certain period of time, but after a certain position, people will feel that you are unstable. The most important thing is that you kid is often too careful, and there are some unscrupulous practices to achieve certain goals, which must be changed. ”
"And your mouth that doesn't pay much attention to it, which is also the most important problem to get rid of. These shortcomings will make you unlucky in the future, and they are not ordinary bad luck. The head of the division has put this old bone of mine with you, and you know why, I don't need to say more. Just look at you a little, don't make any big mess. ”
Hearing that the old squad leader actually had such a relationship with him, and had saved himself several times in a row, Li Ziyuan really felt a little emotional in his heart. Looking back, I was really afraid when I was climbing the snowy mountain. I thought that during the Red Army's Long March, the snow-capped mountain climbed was just a gold mountain.
The real hard place is not in the snowy mountains, but in the meadows. A mountain of gold is dead, as long as you don't camp on the mountain, there should be no big problem. The actual altitude of Jiajin Mountain, in the western Sichuan area, where the snow peaks with an altitude of more than 5,000 meters abound, can only be regarded as an ordinary mountain.
Especially the pass for the army to pass through, the altitude is not really too high. Alpine hypoxia, that's pretty much for sure. But the altitude is not too high, and the degree of hypoxia is not too strong. At least it is much stronger than those mountains of more than 5,000 meters, or even 6 or 7 thousand meters in western Sichuan.
The only bad thing was the lack of adequate clothing for the alpine climate, and the fact that the troops were on the march for a long time, which brought widespread malnutrition and extreme exhaustion. But such a snow-capped mountain is not completely insurmountable. It was only when he began to climb the snow-capped mountain that he discovered that when the Red Army was on the Long March, it was as simple as climbing a snow-capped mountain in Jiajin Mountain.
I only participated in the second half of the Long March of the Red Fourth Front Army, but this snow-capped mountain is almost endless. Climbing one after another, from the westward retreat after the Battle of Baizhangguan to the whole army out of Sichuan, almost the entire operation of the Red Fourth Front Army was in the snow-capped mountains and grasslands in northwest Sichuan, and even reached Qinghai for a time.
Not counting the Central Red Army and the Second Front Army, the Red Fourth Front Army alone, which was oneself, climbed more than a dozen snow-capped mountains with an altitude of more than 4,000 meters. As for Jiajin Mountain, it is just a relatively representative snow-capped mountain of great historical significance. Moreover, the altitude of Jiajin Mountain can only be regarded as medium among these snow-capped mountains, and to be exact, the altitude of the pass is still on the lower side.
Continuously climbing high-altitude snow-capped mountains, which made Li Ziyuan's alpine reaction, which he was originally used to, gradually begin to manifest. Malnutrition was widespread throughout the army, and he did not escape either. The whole army generally lacked warm clothing, and he did not have an extra cotton coat either. After this situation, even those who are adapting to it are a little unbearable.
It's just that the elevation in front is more than 4,000 meters, and the pass is generally about 4,000 snow mountains, and he can still survive. But when Li Ziyuan was faced with the highest altitude among the dozens of large and small snow-capped mountains climbed during the entire Red Army's Long March, he was really a little stunned.
And this kind of frightening has never appeared before when I climbed other snow-capped mountains with the troops. Although the main peak is only more than 5,000 meters above sea level, it is not as high as Gongga Mountain, the king of Shu Mountain, nor as good as Siguniang Mountain, Qi'er Mountain and Genie Mountain. But Li Ziyuan knew that this snow-capped mountain was the entire army, and it was his biggest test.
Because Li Ziyuan, who liked outdoor sports in later generations, knew that the large army crossed the snowy mountains not to engage in mountaineering. When crossing the snow-capped mountains, you will not go to the top of the mountain, and you will generally pass through passes at relatively low altitudes. And every mountain, no matter how high, will have passes, that is, relatively low saddle-shaped gaps in the ridge through which they can pass.
Just like the first snow-capped mountain he climbed, the troops all passed through the pass, and the other snow-capped mountains also passed through the pass. Of course, the altitude of these passes is not low, and 4,000 meters is a common phenomenon. But the general altitude is a little more than 4,000 altitudes, which is not very challenging for him. There are a lot of passes, and he went to play in his later life.
Some of them are less than 4,000 meters above sea level. The highest Mengbi Mountain Pass is only more than 4,200 meters. Although the high altitude was indeed a severe test for the weakened Red Army. But after all, there are not too many difficulties that cannot be overcome, especially for someone like him who loves the outdoors.
But in the face of the Dangling Snow Mountain, which is nearly 5,000 meters away from the pass, Li Ziyuan felt a little confused. As an outdoor enthusiast, he knows that mountaineering, especially climbing a mountain like this one with an altitude of more than 5,000 meters, is quite physically demanding.
