Chapter 59: Li Ziyuan's sore spot
Just when Li Ziyuan went to school during the day and was in his room at night, pondering how to go in the future. The Red Fourth Front Army, which went south from the grassland, hit his hometown in this life, a small county town less than 100 kilometers away from Chengdu.
When his family packed up their luggage and ran to Chengdu, they forgot about him, the fifth young master who no one took seriously. On the day the Red Army entered the city, Li Ziyuan was awakened by the sound of gunfire and opened his eyes and found that he was left alone in the so-called home. He was already uncared for, and he couldn't even see a single figure. Not only are the so-called family members gone, but even the high-spirited slaves of the past have disappeared completely.
I don't know what's going on, I'm confused, and I'm still inexplicably Li Ziyuan. When he saw the flags of the troops entering the city, he realized that it was Li Ziyuan, who had come to fight the Red Army, but he was elated and directly signed up for the Red Army on the spot. The treatment of those founding generals or old cadres in his previous life made him very moved.
Although Li Ziyuan's understanding of this period of history is limited to the textbooks in which he has always flown low in the history when he was a student. As a person who just treats history as a scoring item and desperately memorizes it when he is about to take the exam, it is difficult to expect him to have a real understanding of history.
For military history and even history, it is basically a novice. Even the difference between the Red Army's several fronts at that time was a mess of Li Ziyuan. Seeing the Red Army was like seeing a way out, and without thinking about it, he directly joined the Red Army and became a fourteen-year-old recruit in this army.
Although all his knowledge of the Red Army at this time came from the vague content in the history books of his previous life. But a college classmate, grandfather, as a founding general, brought the honor and treatment he enjoyed, but he was very envious of the family affairs in his previous life.
I think that joining the Red Army is undoubtedly a good way out for myself who is currently trapped in that indifferent home. At the very least, as long as they survive the most difficult period, after more than ten years, the treatment of an old Red Army will still not be able to escape. As for the process of getting out of the rain of bullets before enjoying those treatments, he didn't know anything at all except that he knew that fighting would kill people.
After joining the army, Li Ziyuan discovered that the things of this era really can't be recognized from the perspective of his previous life. The cold eyes of the people in the Security Bureau are terrifying to look at. If you are tired and die, you have to keep up with the troops, because once you fall behind in the northwest of Sichuan, you will either be waiting for your own death, or you will be captured as slaves by some ethnic groups who are still in a slave society. The best outcome is to be a farmer in some poor country for the rest of your life.
The home in this life will never spend money to redeem itself. Even if you are a prisoner of the Sichuan army, it is much better than falling behind. And he just joined the army and caught up with the battle of Baizhang Pass, and he was trembling in the rain of bullets and corpses all over the field. For fear that the bullet would not open his eyes, or the bomb dropped on the plane, would ruin his dream of being a founding general.
The most critical thing was that he found that for the Red Army, which lacked means of communication, the importance of the transport officer was great. If the news is not delivered to the designated place at the specified time, it will be severely punished by military law. If it affects the development of the battle, it will also lose its head.
When crossing the meadow, Li Ziyuan, who was hungry all day long, couldn't control his mouth. If Wang Cheng hadn't found out in time, he almost didn't starve to death on the grass. On the contrary, when he followed the troops over the snow-capped mountains and retreated to the northwest of Sichuan, as a senior traveler in his previous life, he didn't feel much about mountaineering the most.
It wasn't until he walked out of the grass that he knew that joining the Red Army was not only about having a good brain, but also about being able to run. Even on days when you're not fighting, protect your feet. Because once there is a problem with the foot, you can't keep up with the team. The only thing that awaits them is to be placed in place. If the foot was injured, it was the most fatal wound for the Red Army fighters, besides the seriously wounded.
After experiencing the rain of bullets and bullets in the Battle of Baizhang Pass, he knew that if he wanted to enjoy the treatment of the old Red Army more than ten years later, he had to survive first, and he desperately learned all military techniques. At that time, Li Ziyuan hated himself so much, why didn't he study in a military school in his previous life? I have to go to that law school.
Of course, if he had this foresight, he would not have been able to climb those large and small snow-capped mountains in western Sichuan to celebrate his graduation from college and officially entering society. As a result, the panda didn't see it, but instead made himself fall off the cliff, and returned to this era in a daze. Fortunately, he did not go to Tibet at that time, otherwise he would not have been where he would have been right now.
But after all, there is no regret medicine in this world, and now it is too late whether he regrets joining the Red Army or really regrets why he didn't take the military academy when he took the college entrance examination. What he can do now is to desperately learn from those old-timers how to kill enemies on the battlefield, or to be precise, survive.
Although the first gun assigned to him was an old one, and even the rifling had no old sleeve. The grenade given to him was a horsetail grenade made by the Red Army itself with a hemp rope tied to the bottom of his buttocks, and the quality was really not good. But Li Ziyuan was still very excited, because for him at least he had the capital to save his life, although it was too little to give him only three bullets.
When he was stationed in the northwest of Sichuan after retreating from Baizhang Pass, Li Ziyuan, who was very idealistic, but the reality he faced was very cruel, and he tried his best to learn military technology. took advantage of his special status as a correspondent for the old chief, and went everywhere to steal experience from veterans. From shooting to bomb throwing, he is willing to learn anything that can be used on the battlefield.
And Wang Cheng was also very happy after discovering that he was so studious as a correspondent. Not only did he personally teach him a lot of experience on the battlefield, but he also took advantage of the proximity of his station to the Red Army University. After the former Central Red Army was transferred to the Fourth Front Army, he was sent to the Red Army University as a teacher and taught Li Ziyuan to learn some basic military theories such as recognizing maps and using a compass.
By this time, there were basically very few graduates of the regular military academies of the Red Fourth Front Army left. The rest are all senior cadres, not to mention that Li Ziyuan and Wang Cheng can't reach it. However, many of the Red Army universities were transferred from military academies transferred from the Central Red Army, and even some cadres who had studied abroad became teachers. Coupled with years of experience in the civil war, it is definitely full of talent.
During the nearly one-year recuperation in northwest Sichuan, under Wang Cheng's special care, Li Ziyuan learned a lot of things in a down-to-earth manner. Although the experiences of the two generations are different, Li Ziyuan's background as a scholar who graduated from the law department of a prestigious university in later generations is still there. With a solid foundation in mathematics, many things are learned quickly.
His teacher was very excited and wanted to transfer him to his side personally. Among the cadres at all levels of the Fourth Front Army, whose general education level is relatively low, a small soldier like Li Ziyuan, who is quick to receive new things, is very much loved by this famous general of the First Front Army. not only taught it himself, but also dragged other teachers to teach Li Ziyuan.
Even the current commander of the 129th Division, the principal of the Red University during the Long March, gave Li Ziyuan a lesson in private. Li Ziyuan's homework was learned from his teacher. During the period of aiding the Western Army, the old marshal also personally named Li Ziyuan to go to the military school and studied for a few months.
But Wang Cheng was worried that Li Ziyuan, a little guy, would be caught with pigtails and stabbing under the circumstances at the time, so he still took advantage of the fact that his troops were close to the Red University station, and even served as a guard for the Red University, so that Li Ziyuan would go to study at night and come back. In several battles after the Red Fourth Front Army went north, he was given several opportunities to fight.
After arriving in northern Shaanxi, when an old comrade-in-arms from Wang Cheng's Hubei, Henan, and Anhui periods came to see his old chief, Li Ziyuan also specially learned some reconnaissance skills with this cadre who was born as a pistol captain. In addition to the ability to give full play to his own ability to learn from his previous life, as well as the actual combat experience gained on the battlefield, Li Ziyuan gradually matured.
He could only silently suppress these things in his heart, and he didn't dare to say them to anyone. Not only his own life experience, but also his so-called motives for participating in the revolution, which cannot be spoken. With so many secrets suppressed in his heart, in the face of Chang Juan's inquiry, it was strange that Li Ziyuan could be happy.
People participated in the revolution for ideals and beliefs, and they joined the revolution purely for speculation. During the recuperation period of the garrison in northwest Sichuan, he almost didn't become a deserter because he couldn't eat enough. How dare he say these words, if it spreads, he will not be removed from his post and go home.
And Chang Juan touched not only these, but also the family. Of course, Li Ziyuan was not touched by this life, the home where basically no one takes him seriously. It's the family in the previous life, although it was not rich, but it was warm enough. After years of fighting and studying, he had little time to think. Chang Juan's words evoked his memories.
It's been seven years since I returned to this era, and my parents in my previous life were okay in these seven years? He likes mountaineering and adventures, although his family is not very wealthy, although he has been worried about his hobby, but the parents who have always supported him silently, have a son of their own.
Now that they have lost themselves, what will become of their parents, who once made them proud, but worried them? When they are old, will someone take care of them? Chang Juan's words touched the softest nerve in Li Ziyuan's heart, which had been hidden for seven years.
Just when Li Ziyuan fell into his memories, the commander of the first battalion over there had already fought a beautiful ambush battle between Luoma and Qiaokou, and took the Qiaokou stronghold by chance. With the end of the gunfire on the side of the first battalion, Li Ziyuan's plan to enjoy the shade under the big tree also achieved almost complete success.
Wang Cheng, who was a little uneasy, after completing the battle of cooperating with the main force to break the Baijin Railway, took a battalion of the basic regiment and also rushed to the Luoma stronghold to join the first battalion. However, after Wang Cheng arrived, the whole battle was basically over. Seeing his old superior, Li Ziyuan was in a much better mood.
Seeing Li Ziyuan and the stronghold that had been taken, and knowing that the first battalion had completed the encirclement and annihilation of the Japanese puppet army dispatched to the Qiaokou stronghold, and had taken advantage of the situation to seize the Qiaokou stronghold, Wang Cheng didn't say much. I can only sigh that this guy is bold, his ideas are lucky enough, and his key calculations are also very accurate.
