As the battalion commander of the 8th Battalion of the Red Fourth Army, Liu Hailong, although he was only 25 years old, he was already a veteran soldier who participated in the revolution.

He turned out to be a progressive student, and received a patriotic education in Marxism when he was in middle school, and he was already a platoon commander at that time since the Nanchang Uprising in 27.

But when he was in the Red Army for five years, it only took him two years to be promoted from platoon commander to battalion commander, and then in the past three years, he has been a battalion commander, until last year when he was transferred to Zhou Weiren's side to serve Zhou Weiren as a guard battalion commander, and he was still a battalion commander.

The reason why Liu Hailong, who had been a battalion commander for more than three years, could not be promoted, was not because he was incompetent, let alone because his ability was not recognized by the organization, but because the Red Army had not been able to develop and grow in the past few years.

Beginning before the war, whenever his battalion had just expanded to be a regimental commander, their Red Army would be encircled and suppressed by the Nationalist government army.

Like all other Red Army battalions and companies, Liu Hailong's reinforced battalion would be reduced by one number of personnel until June 32, when the first three encirclement and suppression of his battalion had been reduced three times.

I heard that the Nationalist Government Army was about to encircle and suppress the Central Soviet Region of Jiangxi for the fourth time, and this time I wonder how many battalions of the Red Army like Liu Hailong will once again experience the pain of attrition.

However, this time he was transferred to Zhou Weiren's side and was responsible for the security of the headquarters, so it can be said that from now on, there will not be many opportunities for him to directly lead troops to fight.

Originally, I thought that as long as An An was stable and after a year of development, his spy battalion could be expanded, but who knew that the Nationalist Government would be even more ruthless this time, and directly came to a major economic blockade.

The entire surrounding area of the Soviet area, not to mention medicine, food, not even a grain of salt is allowed to flow into the Soviet area casually. Everyone is a man who has endured hardships, and how can he overcome what he has not eaten or drunk. But you can't do it without salt.

Seeing that the soldiers are not well fed and warmly dressed, everyone can still persevere, but this long-term shortage of salt and medicine, the situation of non-combat attrition is very serious.

Just like today, Li Kenong came to the camp headquarters to give an order, asking them to go to the headquarters to choose a flat farm, and then draw five large circles, saying that it was used to receive medicine and salt.

Although this order was very exciting, he was able to make up the number of the special service battalion, and only managed to make up most of the battalion, that is, two full companies.

The rest of the fighters were either dizzy or physically weak, not to mention going to the anti-medicine box, and they didn't even have the strength to walk.

There's no way, you can only eat salt once a week, and everyone is now mixed with long white hair, not to mention that they can move, and it is not easy to live.

However, no matter how difficult the situation is, he must insist on it, and the party's orders must be fulfilled no matter what. In the end, there was really no way, Liu Hailong even brought the guy from the cooking class.

According to Li Kenong's request, all major intersections within a radius of 10 miles will be placed under martial law. He also painted five huge circles with lime in the selected farm's field.

Liu Hailong looked at the five circles as if they were not too round, and no matter how they looked, they looked like five big duck eggs side by side, but Liu Hailong, the battalion commander, couldn't be too forceful, after all, the elliptical was also round.

Liu Hailong reported the coordinates of the encircled place to Li Kenong, who immediately rode away, and told him before leaving that he must guard all intersections and not let idle people enter.

It's not that I'm afraid of the news being exposed, but I'm afraid of hurting the masses by mistake. Because the supplies were dropped by airdrop this time, and they didn't know how many planes would come and how large the area would be, so it was always right to be prepared and try to keep a safe distance as much as possible.

Liu Hailong watched Li Kenong leave, and couldn't help muttering: "In such a big place, can you accidentally hurt the masses?" So how bad is the eye of the person who put the supplies?

If you want to be bombed by the planes of the Nationalist Government back then, how low the planes flew, the bombs were like eyes growing at all, and how many soldiers in their battalion sacrificed under the bombs of these planes back then.

But I didn't expect that now their Red Army also has an airplane, but I don't know which department owns this plane, and he has really never seen an airplane here for several years in the Central Soviet District. ”

Therefore, battalion commander Liu Hailong did not carry out Li Kenong's task too seriously, but he arranged for the soldiers to stand guard one by one at various crossings, and he himself took a few close soldiers to lie in a big circle in the field and wait to see the Red Army's own plane.

There were still two hours before five o'clock, and he could just rest first, but he fell asleep while lying down.

At this time, the peasants in several villages near the headquarters of the communist army had been notified that 100 young men from each village were drawn up on small carts and prepared to carry supplies.

These hundreds of young men gathered in front of a small hillside, and looked at the five big circles in the distance and didn't know what they were for.

Some peasants still thought that the communist army was going to do it, saying that they could conjure food, medicine, and other things from those five circles, and that they could do whatever they wanted, otherwise they would not be able to let these young people wait here.

may be too tired at ordinary times, and at the same time, it is also the reason for long-term malnutrition, as soon as the battalion commander Liu Hailong fell asleep, several soldiers around him also fell asleep.

Liu Hailong slept soundly, and he also had a dream, in which the sky fell straight down the salt, and he grabbed a piece of salt and licked it in a big gulp, as if the salt was the most delicious delicacy in the world.

Just as he was drooling and gulping down the sweet and salt in his dream, he suddenly heard the soldiers around him waking him up: "Battalion commander, run, mushrooms are falling from the sky." ”

Liu Hailong sat up and looked up, where are the mushrooms, is a parachute falling in the air with the wind, and the place where it falls, it seems to be the place where he is resting now, at this time, Liu Hailong suddenly realized, broken, the parachute is smashed in his own direction with the wind, it doesn't matter if he is hit by the parachute, but it is miserable to be hit by the medicine box and salt bag under the parachute.

Such a heavy thing, falling from a height of several hundred meters, even if it is supported by a parachute, it will be seriously injured if it hits a person without dying.

Liu Hailong looked at the sky full of white flowers, thinking that this parachute must not be hundreds or thousands, if it is broken, if he doesn't run, he is afraid that he will be stoned to death by the medicine box, it will be too wrong.

Liu Hailong, who had not been injured in the army for ten years, thought to himself, he didn't die in the hands of the white bandit army, but let the medicine box be stoned to death, which would affect his glorious image too much.

At this time, he couldn't hesitate much, while the medicine box was still floating in mid-air, Liu Hailong immediately called the soldiers around him, turned around and ran into the distance.

While staying away from these five big circles, he scolded Li Kenong in his mouth:

"Li Kenong, you four-eyed chicken, you don't tell me, someone is using so many planes to drop medicines, if I am smashed out of this, I will not be done with you."

In fact, he didn't want to think about it, if there were fewer planes coming, would he need to draw so many big circles? And if he was really hit by the airdropped items, he would have no chance to settle accounts with Li Kenong.

But as if to fulfill Liu Hailong's wish, he ran and ran, and suddenly was covered by a huge white wire net, and then he fell to the ground, and his chin was still on the stone on the ground.

Then I heard the soldiers next to me shouting: "Hurry up and save the battalion commander, he is caught by parachute." Then, "Ahhh With a scream, the voice was gone.

But soon Liu Hailong was pulled out by other fighters, and Liu Hailong didn't have time to check what was going on behind him.

He shouted to bring the wounded, and with the support of the soldiers, he ran directly to the small hillside where the young men who had come to carry the goods in the distance.

When the battalion commander Liu Hailong was panting and sitting on the hillside without a figure, he looked back and counted the soldiers who followed him, but fortunately, there was another soldier who followed him with another wounded man on his back. These people are really lucky.

It was at this time that he finally had time to look back, and the parachutes that fell from time to time in the sky turned out to be able to accurately drop all the items in the vicinity of the five circles in the smallest range.

Fifty bombers took turns dropping over the airspace, and it took a full twenty minutes to drop all the supplies.

Then these dozens of planes divided into two groups in the air and left separately in two directions.

It was only then that the soldiers on the ground and the crowd cheered loudly, and then everyone ran from all directions to the farm.

Begin to dismantle the parachutes one by one, this parachute is a good thing, whether it is to make clothes, bedding is a good material, before coming to the organization leaders can say, then every strong laborer can be divided into a piece of such a white cloth.

Then the crowd collected boxes of medicine and bags of salt, and some soldiers even picked up a handful of salt scattered on the ground and threw it in their mouths.

Although the soldier was so salty that he couldn't speak, the soldier still screamed with joy. Although he could not speak, the soldiers and the crowd who were shouting all around him knew why everyone was so happy, happy because of the salt and medicine.

Soon hundreds of small carts began to transport these supplies to the headquarters non-stop, and these hundreds of young and strong men, plus more than 200 soldiers, made four trips back and forth, until midnight to pull all the medicine and salt back to the headquarters warehouse.

In the middle of the night of this day, the high-level officials of the entire Soviet District went out en masse, except for Zhang Guotao, who did not show up on the grounds that he was sick to his stomach, and the rest of the high-level officials came to this temporary warehouse together.

Looking at the mountains in front of them with as much medicine and salt, the high-level people were also moved to tears.

However, just when the high-level officials looked at the mountains of medicines and sighed, Li Kenong found that the battalion commander Liu Hailong, who was in charge of guarding this batch of supplies, was looking at him with a dark face.

Li Kenong walked up to Liu Hailong and asked with concern: "I heard that there were casualties in your battalion, and a soldier broke his leg by a bag of salt that fell from the sky, and is still lying in the hospital?"

Didn't I tell you that no idle people are allowed to appear within a radius of ten miles? Why did one of the fighters run into the drop sign?

It's really a mess, so many airdropped supplies, I didn't bury him alive on the spot, it's his fate, you are jointly and severally responsible as the commander of this battalion, who made you not take a good look at your soldiers? ”

Originally, he wanted to trouble Li Kenong, but Liu Hailong heard that it was indeed his own responsibility. Listen to the teachings immediately with an open mind. From time to time, I promise to look back and improve, and never make such a low-level mistake again.

Battalion Commander Liu Hailong humbly accepted Li Kenong's criticism while inquiring curiously: "Director Li, who is this so big gesture to airdrop so many supplies to us by plane?" Our party has always been poor and afraid, is it the big brother of the Soviet Union who has come to support us? ”

Li Kenong's heart moved, and he was thinking about how to round the airdrop operation this time, but Liu Hailong's words reminded him.

Li Kenong decided to immediately go to Zhou Weiren, to let the wind out of the outside world, and to push this aid operation on the heads of the Soviets.

In this way, it can not only boost the morale of the Soviet area, but also cover Li Tie's true identity very well.

Before leaving, Li Kenong told Liu Hailong to take good care of the wounded soldier, and when he was done, he would personally go to comfort the wounded soldier and ask him about the situation when he was injured.

Watching Li Kenong go to talk to Zhou Weiren, Liu Hailong quickly slipped out of the warehouse with a weak heart, he had to hurry to say hello to the soldiers, especially the soldier whose leg was smashed and broken.

Everyone has to keep the same tone, this time it was an accident, but we must not expose the fact that he took the lead in sleeping there with the drop sign. Otherwise, it is estimated that he, the battalion commander, will soon become a company commander.
