[Chapter 21]

Li Yunlong was assigned to the senior command department of the Nanjing Military Academy, and the trainees of this department were all cadres at the military division level. The Senior Command Department is a crash course, with cadets divided into three classes, with military-level cadres in the first class and division-level cadres in the second and third classes, and the duration of study is two years.

On the first day of registration, Li Yunlong was angry.

According to the rules of the Academy, all students are not allowed to carry guns, and all weapons they carry with them must be handed in. Several military-level cadres who came to report were reluctant to hand over their guns and were arguing with the administrators.

Li Yunlong's eyes rolled, and he took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention to untie his brand-new Canadian pistol and inserted it into the backpack of the guard Xiao Chen, and then picked up Xiao Chen's *** and shouted loudly: "Get out of the way, get out of the way, I hand over the gun, I surrender ......" caused some people to laugh.

The administrator took *** and stared at Xiao Chen beside him and said, "Comrade student, I'm afraid this is not your gun, right?" Please hand over your guns. ”

Li Yunlong's face was not red and his heart was not beating, and he lied casually: "I didn't bring a gun, didn't I come to study?" What are you doing with that? ”

The Administrator smiled tolerantly, he had seen a lot of such in the past few days. Dean Liu Bocheng gave an early death order, and no matter how high the previous position was, the trainees who came to report for duty should all act according to the regulations, and whoever made trouble would be punished, and they would never be polite. The administrator seemed to walk up to Xiao Chen nonchalantly, stuck his hand into his backpack, pulled out the Canadian pistol, and returned to his desk.

Li Yunlong was annoyed and angry: "Why should you pay Lao Tzu's gun? I fuck ......" The following words were swallowed back by him before he could scold, because he saw his old chief, Liu Bocheng, the former commander of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army, passing by with his hands behind his back.

A few days after reporting to work, Li Yunlong was annoyed. He has never lived this kind of life, here, no matter whether you were a military commander or a division commander, now you are all a cadet, you have to salute when you see the instructor, you are not allowed to bring guards, and the guards brought by the students are all incorporated into the academy guard company. Each trainee had to sort out the housekeeping like an ordinary soldier, line up for drills, and take turns to serve as the platoon commander on duty. What year is the head of this kind of day?

In the initial stage of the establishment of the Nanjing Military Academy, most of the instructors were retained instructors of the Kuomintang Army University, and these instructors had received professional military theory education and were proficient in ancient and modern Chinese and foreign war history and combat examples, which were all lacking in the PLA cadets, but the PLA cadets had an obvious advantage, that is, rich actual combat experience and undefeated combat records; in the three-year war of liberation, except for the Kinmen Campaign, the PLA had not even a regiment-level organization been completely annihilated. In this large-scale war, the total number of troops invested by both sides reached tens of millions, and the area of engagement reached more than 60 percent of the total land area. It is a miracle that such a result can be achieved. So, which of the cadets from the four major field armies has no capital to brag about? Sooner or later, the contradictions between instructors who are proficient in military theory but have no record of victory and cadets who do not understand military theory and have a proud record will erupt sooner or later.

Among the trainees of the senior command department, there are many old acquaintances of Li Yunlong, and Kong Jie, the former commander of the new second regiment of the 129th Division, had a conflict with Li Yunlong in 1944 because of the integration of bandits, and was disarmed by Li Yunlong and locked up, for which Li Yunlong was demoted. This incident did not affect the relationship between the two of them. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Kong Jie led his troops out of the customs and was subordinate to the Northeast Field Army. During the three-year Liberation War, Kong Jie's troops participated in all the major battles: the three Jiangnan battles, the four protection of Linjiang, the bloody battle of Siping, the Liaoshen Campaign, and the Pingjin Campaign...... fought from the Songhua River to Hainan Island and became a military commander.

Kong Jie's luck was good. When the Korean War broke out, Kong Jie's troops entered Korea with the first batch of the H Corps and participated in four battles. When old acquaintances meet, it is inevitable that you will give me a punch and I will scold you to greet each other.

When Kong Jie saw Li Yunlong, he first remembered that he had become Li Yunlong's prisoner when he went to Maicheng, he punched Li Yunlong in the chest, and said evilly: "You kid was on your territory that time, and he dared to hand over Lao Tzu's weapons." In fact, who is afraid of who is afraid of pulling the troops out for training? Even if you can fight in an independent regiment, Lao Tzu's new second regiment will not eat dry rice. Damn, as soon as you have your backing, your gang of bear soldiers don't recognize their fucking six relatives, and they almost tied up Lao Tzu. ”

Li Yunlong smiled and said, "Just your new second regiment? I'll be able to pack you up with one battalion. At that time, we had to count our independent regiment in the northwest of Shanxi, how could we have a share of the new second regiment? Besides, what are those bandits? If you take them in, they will make trouble sooner or later, which will make the dog meat unable to serve at the table, I will clean up these bastards for you first, you should thank me. ”

While the two were talking, another person squeezed over and punched Li Yunlong, scolding in his mouth: ", are you still alive?" ”

When Li Yunlong saw it, he recognized it as Commander Ding Wei from Siye, who was also an old comrade-in-arms during the Red Army. Li Yunlong had already heard that he had become the commander of the column when he fought Jinzhou, and this person was also a guy who would not die when he heard the sound of gunshots. He is not afraid of heaven and earth, and when he bites the enemy, he will not let go, and if he can't swallow it, he will tear off a piece of meat. Once he gets into contact with the enemy, no one will want to mobilize him, even if it is an order from Mr. Nojirin, it is useless, and he will never leave without taking advantage of it.

In the last battle of the Liaoshen Campaign, Ding Wei led a division to bite Liao Yaoxiang's corps on the Liaoxi Plain, and he did not wait for the arrival of the follow-up troops to take the lead in attacking Liao Yaoxiang's corps under his jurisdiction with a division of troops.

In the battle sequence of the Northeast Field Army, Ding Wei's troops are known as the trump card in the main force with both offense and defense. In fact, Ding Wei was not a rough man, he finished junior high school before joining the Red Army, and he was a big intellectual in the Red Army at that time. According to convention, this kind of person should engage in political work, but Ding Wei likes to fight, starting from a platoon commander to an army commander, and he has never even touched the edge of political work in his life.

Li Yunlong deliberately said: "Lao Ding, I heard that you fought well in the Northeast?" We've heard about it all in Huaye. Good guy, Ding Wei's troops fought without dying, well-equipped, superb tactics, the first battle of Qingshuping, the teeth of the Seventh Army of the Gui Department were broken, and a division fought against an army for two days and three nights, and it was a draw. Is it? ”

Ding Wei was praised by Li Yunlong, and he was a little proud: "That's true, can the People's Liberation Army still be called the People's Liberation Army without Siye?" If Siye doesn't have our army, can it still be called Siye? The cowhide is not blown, the train is not pushed, Lao Tzu ...... from the Songhua River"

Li Yunlong unceremoniously interrupted Ding Wei when he introduced him into the trap: "Then what are you doing here on a dog day?" With such a big ability, you still need to be a student, if you don't mix with the vice dean, you have to at least make a teacher to be a teacher, why is it the same as us? Go and go, roll to the side, why don't you put your nose on your face? The whole of China was liberated by your four fields, and our three field armies are all fucking eating dry food? ”

Ding Wei was also angry when he heard this, and he said loudly: "The bastard is willing to come, the commander of Lao Tzu is a good person, if you have to let me hand over the command and go to this ghost place to be a student, why am I sick?" Why should those defeated generals be our teachers? has the ability to go to the battlefield to compare, Lao Tzu can eat him with a division, study, learn a fart! ”

Li Yunlong gloated and persuaded: "The superiors asked us to learn the truth of our superiors, but we can't complain." ”

"Lao Li, you don't fucking come to this set, when will you change your career to be a political commissar......"

Because of the presence of thorns like Li Yunlong, Ding Wei, and Kong Jie in the senior command department, the class discussion meeting was very lively. When they were in military theory class and war history class, these people sat there silently, their eyes slightly closed, as if they were sitting in meditation, but in fact, their brains had long since flown to where they had gone. Li Yunlongxin said, learn to fight a war, it is nothing more than collecting intelligence, observing the terrain, organizing troops, firearms, and arranging reserves before the war. Still use you to teach? What the fuck Clausewitz learned? What big battles did this old Prussian thing fight? Nonsense one by one, that is, you memorize his book word for word, there is a use for! Ding Wei was also half-squinting and thinking, nonsense, what does the Battle of the Marne River in the "First World War" have to do with Lao Tzu? Lao Tzu had never heard of the Battle of the Marne and the Battle of Verdun before, didn't he still defeat the 8 million "national army"? Also, if you don't let these instructors talk about this, what else can he talk about? Kong Jie didn't even bother to think about these things in class, his heart flew home early, and he was making love with his wife.

Don't look at these people who don't care about listening to the class, when it comes to the discussion, they all rush to raise their hands and ask to speak. The content of the speeches is often off topic. The topic of this discussion was the Battle of Kursk on the Soviet-German battlefield in World War II, and what tactics did the Soviet and German armies use to achieve a decisive victory when the number of planes and tanks was roughly equal.

Li Yunlong was the first to fight for the right to speak, he stood up and said with a big grin: "Instructor, I suggest that the discussion questions be changed, because this library is ...... What is the library for......"

Ding Wei and others coaxed below: "Come on, come on, find a cool place to stay, you can't even call your name, and you still speak?" It's remarkable that you, a sorghum flower, and want to pretend to be an intellectual......"

"That's it, this is called Zhu Bajie wearing glasses - pretending to be a college student."

"No, no, it's called farting on a bicycle — pretending to be a motorcycle."

Li Yunlong didn't care about the ridicule of Ding Wei and his ilk, he said calmly: "Comrade teacher, you see that there are some unhealthy tendencies among the students in our class, and when they see comrades who usually perform well actively speaking, they swarm up to attack sarcasm, well, like a swarm of buzzing flies, I only have two answers to these backward comrades: first, resolutely fight against their backward ideas; Second, the sarcasm of them is only regarded as fart. Are you afraid that you won't farm if you listen to the crickets? Now I will continue to speak, this Battle of Kursk, well, it is written in the textbook, at that time the German army had 900,000 people, the Soviet army had 1.33 million people, and the number of technical equipment was slightly more than that of the German army, more than 400,000 people are still roughly equal? Everyone knows that on the battlefield, there are many victories and few victories, this is nothing, under normal circumstances, if you use an army to fight a division, even if you win, there is nothing to brag about, this is obvious. If you can't even win this, then you can go home and coax the child, what kind of battle are you fighting? Therefore, this topic is not good and cannot be discussed, so I suggest that we discuss the Huaihai Campaign. I wondered if at the beginning of the Huaihai Campaign, we Huaye and Zhongye had only 600,000 people, but the Kuomintang army had 800,000, and there was no comparison in terms of equipment. In terms of mobility, we rely on two legs, people rely on car wheels, and serious mechanized corps. Let's discuss and discuss, why are we just messing up with 600,000 people to clean up their 800,000 people? ”

The instructor stammered and didn't say anything for a long time. The outcome of a war depends not only on the comparison of the military strength of the two sides, but also on many factors such as politics, economy, and diplomacy. The students were all interested and coaxed. Ding Wei spoke: "Lao Li, let me tell you, it was Chiang Kai-shek who helped you, if he didn't blow up the Huayuankou, the Yellow River would not be diverted, and it would not cause a large area of the Yellow Flood Area, such as Huang Baitao's Corps and Huang Wei's Corps were all dragged by the Yellow Flood Area, and the wheels of the car were trapped in the mud, so it was not as fast as two legs." So, it was Chiang Kai-shek who helped you. Let's not discuss this topic, let's talk about our four fields, we have a lot of examples of winning more with less, let me introduce it to you, let's talk about our column......"

As soon as Li Yunlong heard that the topic was turned to the battle example of Siye, he became angry: "Go and go, do you speak or do I speak?" It's you Siye at every turn, you went to the Northeast to pick up so many foreign goods, and how much equipment did you receive from the little devils? Did you capture it in battle? There are more than a million of you, who can't win? One person can drown people with one spit, why do you think less is more? Our Huaye equipment is almost there, but we took it from the enemy ourselves. You are asking all over the world, 600,000 eat 800,000 war examples, which country has it? ”

Li Yunlong's words hurt the crowd a little, and the students from Siye didn't like to listen to them: "Fuck, according to Lao Li's meaning, we didn't even fight, we picked up so much equipment in vain, and we spit on the northeast by spitting?" "Fucking all the way to Hainan Island? Doesn't this look down on our four wilds? "It's bearable, it's unbearable, it's not over with fucking Lao Li." The students of Siye opened fire on Li Yunlong with all their mouths, sarcasm and abuse all came, and the class became a mess.

"Lao Li, you are fucking eating lamp grass ash - put a light fart, if Lao Tzu spits on Hainan Island, then your dog day is to pee and sprinkle on Fujian ......"

"There are three major battles in total, and we have fought two of them, and without our four fields, the liberation of the whole country would have to be postponed for several years......

"Grandma's, let's not mention the Liaoshen Campaign, let's just say that Lao Tzu only had 100,000 troops when he came out of the customs, and he hit more than one million in less than three years, that was blown out? Three times to the south of the Yangtze River, four to protect the Linjiang River, four bloody battles, minus 40 degrees Celsius smoke cannon days, the bolts of the guns are frozen, and the Lao Tzu shot out step by step. ”

Luo Dazheng, the deputy commander from Yiye, also giggled: "Don't fight, don't fight, let's talk about the defense of Yan'an, our teaching brigade and the new fourth brigade have a total of only 20,000 people, how many people are there in Hu Zongnan?" More than 200,000 people, if you want to say that less wins more, we have a lot of field battles, Panlong victory, Qinghua ......"

Chang Baosheng from Erye was not far behind, and interjected: "How did we Erye leap thousands of miles into Dabie Mountain?" Don't brag about your examples, in the War of Liberation, our Erye was the first to launch a counteroffensive, give him a breakthrough in the middle, once the middle lane is broken, the battlefields of the whole country will be alive, break one point, shake the whole line, and you will all follow the light......"

The more chaotic the class became, the students first quarreled with each other, each representing their own field army, and then unanimously pointed the finger at the instructor, one by one, it seems that the instructor is the representative of the Kuomintang military, the logic is ready-made, you are the defeated general on the battlefield, now, what qualifications do you have to be our instructor? And Li Yunlong, who provoked this incident, was lying on the table again and snoring like thunder.

That night, Li Yunlong received a notice: go to the dean's office immediately, and the dean wants to talk to him. Li Yunlong pondered for a while, and felt that something was wrong, this must not be a good thing, the former 129th division teacher would never invite him, an old subordinate, to eat and catch up, after coming for so many days, the teacher has not even shown his face, Li Yunlong himself does not believe that he has this face. Even if he is not afraid of heaven and earth, but when he heard that Liu Bocheng was looking for him, he was also stunned. Not to mention that Liu Bocheng was his teacher, that is, when he first joined the Red Army as a soldier carrying the old sleeve, Liu Bocheng was already a well-known chief of staff of the Red Army.

Li Yunlong stood anxiously in front of the door of the dean's office and shouted, "Report." ”

"Come in." A cold response came from inside. Liu Bocheng sat behind a large mahogany desk, facing the door, a messy pile of papers and books, and he was intently wiping his glasses with a flannel cloth.

Li Yunlong stood up and saluted and said softly: "Hello, teacher! ”

Liu Bocheng didn't say a word, didn't look up, and continued to wipe his glasses as if he didn't see Li Yunlong. Li Yunlong didn't sit or stand, he could only stand there straight. After a full five minutes, Liu Bocheng put his glasses back on and paced back and forth in the office with his hands behind his back.

Li Yunlong had the courage to ask: "Teacher, do you have something to do with me?" ”

The dean said calmly: "Li Yunlong, we haven't seen each other for more than ten years, right?" You've been here for a few months, and I have too many things to talk to you about yet. How are you? Do I have any questions that I need to solve? ”

Li Yunlong breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that there is nothing wrong, the dean is in a good mood. He pulled a chair and sat down, and said with a big grin: "Teacher, you know me, I have a thin cultural background, I am a rough person, I can only lead troops to fight, now I have to study here, it is better to kill me, you still let me go back to the army to lead the troops, in the future to fight Taiwan, our army will be the first echelon, if you can't beat me, you cut off my head......"

The dean glanced at him with a smile and said, "Li Yunlong, you are too modest. I'll admit, you did a good job. Since the battle is fought so well, when the student seems to have wronged you a little, this is to blame for my poor consideration, and it is not applicable to my subordinates, so in order to make up for my mistakes, please take a look at this. The dean gestured to a document on his desk.

Li Yunlong saw that it was a letter of appointment:

Comrade Li Yunlong was appointed as a faculty member of the Nanjing Military Academy.

Dean: Liu Bocheng

Li Yunlong was a little dumbfounded, he felt that cold sweat was dripping down his head, and his whole body was itching uncomfortably. He struggled to spit out a few words: "Teacher, you're not ...... Are you happy with me? How can I be a teacher at this level......

The dean said, "I believe in you, you can do well." You go back and tidy up, move out of the cadet dormitory, and I'll say hello to the barracks department and give you a faculty dormitory. Do a good job. ”

Li Yunlong didn't leave, he knew that he had the ability, he could make trouble in class, teach seriously, not to mention that he didn't have that ability, even Ding Wei and Kong Jie couldn't deal with those thorns, he could think of Ding Wei and how they would mess with him if they knew that they were teachers. He said, "Teacher, please spare me, I can't do this, let me go back to the army." ”

"Smack!" The dean slammed his palm on the table, and Li Yunlong jumped up from his chair in fright. Liu Bocheng roared angrily: "Okay, you Li Yunlong, you are not small, you make trouble in class, contradict the instructors, gather crowds to make trouble, you are amazing, are you still like a military cadre?" Stand up for me......"

Li Yunlong stood up straight and didn't dare to say a word.

The dean angrily reprimanded: "Your current identity is not a military commander, you are a student, you must respect the teacher, no matter what the teacher did before, but now he is wearing the military uniform of the People's Liberation Army, it is your superior, it is your comrade, you have to respect them." Hum! Just a few victories are amazing, right? No one can look at it? God is the boss, are you the second? Nobody cares about you, does it? Tell you, in terms of the little culture in your belly, you are far behind. Aren't you convinced? Okay, I'll ask you to be a teacher, and I, the dean, and all the faculty and students will sit down and be your student tomorrow, how about it? ”

Li Yunlong whispered: "Teacher, it's not like I've made mistakes once or twice, haven't I changed them all times?" Don't look like me. ”

"Tell me, do you want to be a student or a teacher? You choose one. ”

He hurriedly replied: "Of course as a student, of course as a student......"

The dean said: "Okay, go back and write me a review, the content should be profound, don't try to fool me with a piece and a half of paper, tomorrow I have to apologize to the instructor in front of all the students, the attitude should be sincere, do you hear?" ”

"I hear you."

"Be louder."

"Hear, see, see!" Li Yunlong yelled.

Li Yunlong returned to the dormitory in a gloomy manner, Ding Wei and the others already knew that he had been trained, so they gloated and asked knowingly: "Lao Li, did the old chief invite you to dinner to catch up with the old days?" The people of your 129th Division have survived this time, why do you have to take care of you old chief, right? It's not like us, no one hurts. ”

Li Yunlong was not angry: "While staying, Lao Tzu is thinking about becoming a teacher, I want to be a teacher, I have to clean up you guys." ”

Ding Weile said uncontrollably: "Yo, I really haven't seen it, you also want to be a teacher?" If you want to be a teacher, Lao Tzu should be the dean. Lao Li, don't be embarrassed, isn't it just to write a review? Write well, have a deep understanding, make a sad appearance when reading the review, it is best to squeeze out two tears, my comrades and I will forgive you, everyone will inevitably make mistakes, change it is a good comrade......"

As he was talking, someone shouted outside the window: "Ding Wei, go to the dean's office immediately, the dean will talk to you." ”

This time it was Li Yunlong's turn to gloat: "Go?" Why are you stunned? Although you kid is not from our 129th Division, the dean likes you, so maybe he will invite you to dinner. ”

Lao Li:

Hello!

I have good news for you, our son was born, weighing seven pounds and eight taels, and he is very healthy. I casually named him Li Jian, hoping that he would always grow up healthy. I beg your pardon for not consulting you on this matter, I think that a person's name is just a symbol, and there is no need to use more brains on the issue of names. I have hired a nanny for my children, and my life has been arranged, so please don't worry. I have been notified to study at a military foreign language college in Henan Province for three years.

I remember telling you before that when the whole country is liberated, I will still go to university, and it never hurts to learn more knowledge. When I was in secondary school, my school was a church school, English was a must, it was my first foreign language, I am studying Russian now, and I also took French as an elective. Since I have a basic knowledge of a foreign language, I don't have to study too hard. Let me tell you another piece of good news, Zhao Gang was transferred to Beijing a few days ago to work as political commissar of the General Staff. Yesterday I received a letter from Feng Nan, who told me that she and Zhao Gang had married in Beijing last month. I was so happy in my heart that I silently blessed them. In the letter, they asked me to convey to you that we are very grateful for creating an opportunity for them to meet, and they feel very happy with each other. Feng Nan told me that when she saw Zhao Gang for the first time, it was like a lightning strike, because she felt that she had known Zhao Gang in her previous life. Zhao Gang also told her that he felt the same way. You see, how romantic, this is real fate.

Are you studying well? How's the body? Please take care of yourself. Although I don't know how you behave in the academy, but according to your character, I can guess that there is a very restless element in your personality, you don't want to be restrained, you like to go your own way, once your behavior is restricted, you have to find ways to make some trouble, this is your weakness, but also your strength, after all, a person should maintain the independence of his own thoughts, which is not a bad thing. The key is that you have to study hard, since you are a professional soldier, you must be an excellent soldier, and an excellent soldier must continue to study; with the development of the times, the wars you participated in in the past have become history, and in order to cope with modern wars, you must have modern knowledge and ways of thinking. Recently, I have read some information that in the war being waged in Korea, our equipment and tactics are very primitive, and we have underestimated the combat effectiveness and combat methods of the US military, and it is very sad to rely only on the heroism and flesh and blood of our soldiers to compete with a modern army, and we will inevitably have to pay heavy casualties and costs. As a general commanding tens of thousands of troops, you have a great responsibility, don't you have the knowledge?

Not only you, but also I have to study military knowledge, which is why I chose to study at the Military Foreign Language Academy. As a soldier and a soldier's wife, I should also understand the military, so that we will have a common topic. Time is running out, write next time, please take care of yourself.

Wife: Tian Yu
