Chapter 57: That's the story
"The story I want to tell is about Fang Dazhong's life experience. You must not have heard of the name Fang Dazhong, he is just one of the thousands of heroes who sacrificed their lives to resist Japan, and now in this world, there will be no more than one hand to remember this person, and there will be no more than three people who know his story, and I am just one of them. ”
Fang Dazhong was born in a poor peasant family in the Central Plains, his mother died of illness when he was six years old, his father continued to work, and his stepmother brought a son to his home, and he became a motherless child. His neighbor joined the Anti-Japanese Self-Defense Force back then, and when he came home occasionally, he found that Fang Dazhong was doing a bad job, so he said to him, 'You have no one to care about at home, just follow me to fight devils!' So Fang Dazhong, who was already 12 years old, went to the barracks and became an anti-Japanese fighter. ”
"Back then, the Japanese used to send people to their camps to work, chop firewood, and boil water. Fang Dazhong looked relatively small and not easy to be suspected by the Japanese, so he smoothly blended into the enemy camp as a villager child. At that time, he was relatively small, thin, and his clothes were very large, and the bullets were hidden in his clothes, which could not be seen from the outside, and he successfully brought the bullets from the enemy camp back to the army. You don't know, at that time, the equipment of the local anti-Japanese armed forces was very rudimentary, and ammunition was very scarce, so Fang Dazhong really solved the army's urgent need for coal......"
Song Ziyang speaks very slowly, giving people the feeling that he is not so much telling a story as reminiscing to himself. Many freshmen in the audience who thought it was another boring report meeting were gradually attracted to it, put down their non-stop mobile phones, and focused their attention on Song Ziyang.
“…… Later, he became a platoon commander, and once, the troops wanted to reconnoiter the county seat of the devils, but the devils were too tightly guarded, and there was no chance to approach them during the day. So, Fang Dazhong took a squad of soldiers and sneaked towards the county seat on a night when it was snowing heavily. There is a moat nearly ten meters wide outside the county seat, and if you want to sneak into the city, you can only swim across the river. ”
"At that time, it was the middle of winter, and there was heavy snow, not to mention the river, it was unbearable to stand outside. Students, have you ever tried to wash your hands with cold water in the middle of winter? Is it cold or not? Can you imagine swimming in a moat full of broken ice stubble in such bad weather? Fang Dazhong swam over the moat with six soldiers, and swam back from the moat after completing the reconnaissance of the county seat. ”
"Maybe the weather was so bad that the devil didn't even think that someone would sneak into the moat. Including Fang Dazhong, there were seven people in total when he went, and when he came back, there were only two left, and the other five warriors were all frozen to death in the moat. However, it was because of the sacrifices of these soldiers that the troops successfully captured the county town at dawn the next day, eliminated the devils and puppet troops entrenched in the city, and grabbed a large amount of food hoarded by the devils in the city. If it weren't for this food, I don't know how many people would have died that winter!"
"You can't imagine that when Fang Dazhong came back from outside, he was covered in ice cubes, and his skin was black and purple from the cold, but Rao was like this, he still stubbornly reported the situation in the city to the head of the army!"
The freshmen in the audience listened attentively, no one cared about the loopholes in Song Ziyang's words, no one thought of Fang Dazhong's appearance at that time, why Song Ziyang said it as if he had seen it.
After that time, it took Fang Dazhong half a year to recover his body, in fact, he was not completely cured of his illness at that time, but he really couldn't help but want to fight devils. After that, he became the deputy company commander, although he was a small cadre, but every time he started a battle, he was the first to rush to the front. ”
"In a head-on battle with the devils, the devils' equipment outperformed our troops in all aspects, Fang Dazhong still rushed to the front line, a shell came, he was broken by the impact of the explosion, and happened to fall into the crater opened by another shell, and then was buried by the earth, and was not released until the end of the battle. ”
"In that battle, of the more than 100 soldiers that Fang Dazhong was in, no more than ten survived, including him! Dead! All of them died! The brothers who fought together in bloody battles and fought together for common ideals all died!"
"What Fang Dazhong often said later was, 'I really want to die in battle, and I really want to follow my brothers!' In fact, on the battlefield, no one knows when bullets will come at them, and no one knows when shells will fall on their heads, and death, for our soldiers, it is really just commonplace!"
"I can't judge what kind of mentality Fang Dazhong had when he died in battle, whether it was glory, agitation, regret, or joy, but one thing is for sure, he didn't regret choosing this path!
Speaking of this, I don't know if it's because it evokes too many memories of the past, Song Ziyang stood up excitedly, looked at the young faces in the audience, calmed down again, and then said.
"Fang Dazhong has a younger brother, who is the son brought by his stepmother, named Fang Daguo. Fang Dadao joined the army earlier than Fang Dazhong, and his parents died in the process of the devil's sweep, so he had to take refuge in his brother in the army. Although Fang Daodao didn't have much affection for his younger brother, he still took him in. ”
"Fang Daodao's life in the army is quite good, on the one hand, he is relatively young, and on the other hand, he is naturally inseparable from the care of his brother, who is already the deputy company commander. Even after Fang Dazhong's sacrifice, the other comrades in the army did not take care of him in the slightest, but inspired by Fang Dazhong's previous experience, Fang Daguo inherited his brother's legacy without hesitation, shouldered his gun, and fought on the front line of resisting devils!"
"Fang Dazhong was luckier than his brother, he managed to survive to the founding of New China. He should have enjoyed the fruits of the victory of the revolution, but for some special reasons, he was deprived of everything that should have belonged to him!"
Speaking of which, Song Ziyang's mood that had just calmed down made waves again. Not only that, but the new students in the audience were infected by his emotions and gradually changed.
Wei Pingsheng, who has been working as a student for many years, immediately felt the change in the atmosphere in the venue, and suddenly had a bad premonition, and then looked at Zhu Xinghai sitting next to him, and found that Zhu Xinghai was also frowning.
However, seeing Zhu Xinghai's appearance, Wei Pingsheng was a lot more relieved, and it was a little beneficial for Zhu Xinghai to suddenly kill here today, at least when he encountered this kind of scene and faced a situation of getting out of control, there were higher people on top, and it didn't have much to do with him.
Wei Pingsheng can think of it, and Zhu Xinghai can naturally think of it.
It's just that what he didn't expect was that Song Ziyang not only made a mess of the whole report as he expected, but also from his own point of view, he had to admit that Song Ziyang was really good, and there was nothing to say in terms of skills, the most important thing is that this story is particularly infectious, as if he was telling a story of his own personal experience.
However, if this is the case, will not you be able to achieve your own goals?
But then Zhu Xinghai thought again, looking at Song Ziyang's current posture, maybe he would say something inappropriate on stage, instead of stopping him, it was better to let him dig a hole for himself, and he didn't mind falling into a hole when the time came.
"How did such an anti-Japanese hero spend his old age, you will not believe it when you say it, not only him, but also the great-granddaughter of Fang Dazhong, whom he took care of, lives in a small house with a total area of less than 20 square meters, and lives a hard life relying on social subsistence! I want to know, what is wrong with this society? Such a hero who has contributed to the country and the people has ended up in such a situation, and no one has asked for so many years!"
Wei Pingsheng's eyelids jumped involuntarily, hearing Song Ziyang talk about this, Zhu Xinghai didn't say anything to stop it, he guessed Zhu Xinghai's plan, and secretly scolded this old thing for his own personal vendetta to ignore the reputation that the school might receive, which is really despicable.
But the other party is now the leader, and there are some things that can be thought about in the heart, but they can never be declared.
Wei Pingsheng's most unhappy thing is not this, but Zhu Xinghai dragged him into the water for the sake of his ambition Song Ziyang. He was the one who invited Song Ziyang to make a report, and if Song Ziyang said something that should not be said on stage, and in the end he would be held accountable, he would naturally be held accountable as the organizer, and it had nothing to do with who had a bigger hat among the people present.
However, to the surprise of everyone present, Song Ziyang, who was talking about Xingtou, stopped abruptly without warning.
What Song Ziyang said later was completely motivated, in fact, he didn't intend to say anything more on such an occasion, he also knew that saying too much would be detrimental to himself, and it would not be of any substantial help to Fang Dao's situation.
“…… That's the story, it's not well told, let's just listen to it, thank you!"
Song Ziyang said, got up, and bowed slightly to the audience. Perhaps because it ended a little suddenly, the reaction of the freshmen was delayed for a moment, and after three or five seconds of silence in the audience, a burst of heartfelt applause suddenly erupted.
Wei Pingsheng found that Zhu Xinghai's brows were furrowed even tighter.
The next day, the special operations brigade was stationed on campus as originally planned.
This time, Song Ziyang did not come forward again, and the people from his own military sub-division coordinated on his behalf. On the one hand, the leaders of the military sub-district apologized for the temporary change of fortune, and on the other hand, they also expressed their deep admiration for the school's ability to invite a special operations brigade to help with training.
The top leaders of the school who came to receive him naturally did not miss this opportunity to put gold on his face, and with a slight smile, he accepted all the compliments from the other party, as for the role that Song Ziyang played in it...... Hey, who is Song Ziyang?
