Chapter 64: The Value of Life (Ask for Recommendation Votes)

Fly! Fly! Fly in the sky! The Chinese Air Force grew up in the flames......

The military song is so loud, and the Air Force is growing every day, but when will it grow up? After so many years, others have forgotten it, but Chen Hongjun and other veterans who have died all their lives have not, especially today when the US military fought a textbook war in Iraq.

Because Air Force planes could not fly to the line of fire to rush to transport the wounded, many comrades-in-arms died at the transfer station while enduring the long suffering of wounds; Moreover, because there was no operational plan for airborne key points, many Vietnamese troops who had been surrounded at great cost were able to escape from the path. Even after the announcement of the withdrawal of troops, an entire company of infantry fell into the enemy's encirclement because they did not receive the order to retreat, and they were also collectively captured by the Vietnamese army because they could not carry out airborne rescue, so that the righteous actions of our army were greatly humiliated by the Vietnamese army!

The matter was not over, and after the withdrawal of the army, our army and the Vietnamese army fell into a border war that lasted for 10 years. During this period, there were the battles to capture the "riding line point" of Faka Mountain, the battle to defend the point of Zhiyin Mountain, and the world-famous Laoshan Fortification and its later defense. In particular, in the battle of Lao Son, in the face of the strong defensive position of a reinforced regiment of the Vietnamese army, our army invested the troops of the whole division, and after paying huge casualties, finally recovered Lao Son.

And what is the Air Force doing during this time? On the small airfield in Lingui, Xiguang, it is neatly and densely parked, showing the "strong strength" of the Chinese Air Force.

At the most critical moment of the counterattack, in order to meet the 12 Vietnamese fighters flying from the border of the DPRK, the "world's third air force" actually took off hundreds of planes to meet the fighters in the way of "killing chickens with knives".

Is it timid or strong as an ox? In any case, no one can deny the fact that not a single enemy plane was shot down. In this way, Vietnam is strongly hinted: we better not use the air force at all, or you wait and see! Such an air force may be unique in the world, and there is no other semicolon.

The air force was concentrated on our side of the border and did not directly participate in the war. The official explanation is that it is a political reason to show that we do not want the war to escalate.

"The ground forces are about to hit Hanoi, and whether the air force is used has anything to do with whether the war will escalate or not?" Thinking of the J-6 and J-7, which constitute the "third in the world", it will not take long to retire them all with honor, Tian Wenjian couldn't help but curse.

After vomiting the depression in his heart, Political Commissar Wang, who was relaxed, patted his ass and returned to the school official building as if he had changed people. Dean Tian, who had been a "confession priest" for more than an hour, threw down 50 yuan of wine money with a wry smile and went back to the clinic with emotion.

With the end of the Zheng Xiaolan incident, Tian Wenjian also said goodbye to the past completely, looking at the Jiang B00016 Toyota Camry outside the outpatient clinic, Dean Tian took out the phone without hesitation and informed An Xiaobin to call someone to drive it away tomorrow. As soon as he put down the phone, he saw the staff officer of the Military Affairs Section and Han, who had been "fighting side by side" for nearly two days, greeted him from the hall accompanied by Xiao Pepper.

"Xiao Tian, you have finished drinking the celebration wine with the political commissar, and you haven't drunk the celebration wine with us yet!"

Without waiting for Dean Tian to speak, the little pepper with red and swollen eyes pointed to the direction of the nurse's duty room, and said with a forced smile: "The captain, the instructor, Director Jiang and the head nurse are all waiting for you." ”

Tian Wenjian nodded heavily, and said excitedly: "Although I have already drunk it, I can't spoil everyone's interest." Walk...... Let's drink. ”

Peanuts, pig's head, cucumbers, tiger vegetables, shredded fish-flavored pork...... A few simple side dishes are placed on two desks. Seeing Tian Wenjian walk in, Wen Qiming laughed and said: "Today is not only a celebration wine, but also Dean Tian's promotion wine. ”

"Xiao Tian, before drinking, there is a question you must be honest." As soon as Wen Qiming finished speaking, the head nurse Helan raised her cup and asked with a smile: "What is the relationship between that beautiful CCTV hostess and you?" Isn't it your girlfriend? ”

"Tian Wenjian, are you sorry for Sister Xiaona?" Tian Wenjian had just grabbed a handful of peanut beans and was thinking about how to answer this question, when Xiao Pepper asked angrily.

Thinking of the appearance of Tian Wenjian and the hostess when she passed the main road last night, and Yu Xiaomei's fierce reaction, Helan realized that she had said the wrong thing. She was about to round off the conversation, but Tian Wenjian smiled casually: "She is my sister, otherwise how could I invite such a multimedia reporter alone?" ”

There seemed to be some truth, but Pepper still didn't give up and asked, "That's not right!" Your surname is Tian and her surname is Chen, how can it be a sister-brother relationship? ”

Tian Wenjian turned around and smiled frankly: "Sister-in-law, if you don't believe my words, you can ask Xiao Na directly, and she will tell you what's going on." ”

"You mean Sister Cortana knows her?" Yu Xiaomei had an unbelievable look.

"Not only do we know each other, but we also have a good relationship."

Tian Wenjian had just picked up his wine glass and was about to beckon everyone to drink, when Staff Officer Han of the Military Affairs Section interjected and asked with a smile: "Xiao Tian, I have another question." Can you tell us what you did before joining the army? ”

"yes, that's a question I've always wanted to ask." Instructor Yang nodded and echoed expectantly.

"I know that!" Xiao Pepper came to his senses, pointed to Tian Wenjian's head, and said with his eyebrows: "He is a bold student, who eats white food in major hotels in the provincial capital all day long, to be precise, he should eat his own meeting." After a long time, I am familiar with many leaders, and I often swagger and deceive under the guise of others. ”

Seeing that everyone was stunned and couldn't believe it, Xiao Pepper was anxious, couldn't help but pat Tian Wenjian's arm, and swore to add: "What I said is true!" I even had white food with him once! Not only did they take care of food and shelter, but they also sent me a red envelope of 100 yuan. ”

Is it that easy to eat white food? Who let you eat without a little background? Yang Xiaoguang didn't believe this set of nonsense, but stared at Tian Wenjian and said expectantly: "Xiao Tian, there are no outsiders here, what can't be said." You can rest assured that we will maintain the strictest confidentiality. ”

Zheng Xiaolan's matter is so big, the next physical examination working group, they will inevitably have to deal with the municipal axe, there is really nothing to hide. After Tian Wenjian weighed it, he said lightly: "Before joining the army, I was a colleague with An Xiaobin, and I was a colleague with my sister. ”

Reporter! Reporter of Huaxin Service!

Everyone was shocked by this news, and Yang Xiaoguang asked impatiently: "Xiao Tian, you're not joking, are you?" You are really a reporter, so aren't all the political trial materials fake? ”

"The journalist is real, but only a trainee photojournalist. The file is also true, but I was in college for a year. ”

Four years of college is only one year, and this internship period is really long enough! Before everyone could come back to their senses, Director Jiang asked thoughtfully, "Xiao Tian, so Political Commissar Wang and Director Han already know your identity?" ”

"I guess so." Tian Wenjian nodded, then picked up the wine glass, and said with a smile: "I'm done asking, let's drink now, right?" ”

I lost the second person in a daze! Xiao Chili, who felt that he had been seriously deceived, slapped the table and shouted angrily: "Tian Wenjian, you actually colluded with Sister Xiao Na to deceive me!" ”

"Sister-in-law, I really didn't mean to. There are many things that can be said now, but they can't be said then. Tian Wenjian patted her on the shoulder and said with a smile: "But from today onwards, I will be a member of the health team." What photojournalists, what Huaxin Agency, all became history with Xiaolan's departure. Even if I were discharged from the army and demobilized, I would not continue to work in that industry. ”

It is already very unbelievable that a reporter from Huaxin News Service does not come to serve as a soldier, and it is even more incredible that he will not return to his old unit after retiring from the army, Wen Qiming seemed to realize something, and hurriedly asked seriously: "Xiao Tian, you tell me the truth, is it because of Xiaolan's incident that you can no longer continue to be a reporter?" ”

For Xiaolan is for the health team, and the two are inseparable. As soon as Wen Qiming's question was raised, everyone realized the seriousness of the problem.

Since making that decision, Tian Wenjian has made up his mind to be a real person. Looking at everyone's extremely complicated eyes, with a little admiration, a little guilt, and a little regret, Tian Wenjian hurriedly shook his head and smiled: "Where do you all want to go?" Am I that great? It had nothing to do with that, I just wanted to live a different way of life. ”

"I don't believe it!"

Tian Wenjian remembered everything he did for Xiaolan and the health team, and Xiao Pepper suddenly found that the rival in front of him was tall, and couldn't help but grab his arm, and said angrily: "Tian Wenjian, do you want us to feel guilty for the rest of our lives?" Do you want Xiaolan to owe you a lifetime? ”

Obviously, the celebration wine couldn't be drunk, and everyone, including Staff Officer Han, invariably put down their wine glasses and stared at Tian Wenjian's resolute face, wondering how they could explain all this.

If you don't make this issue clear, then I really don't know how to face everyone in the future. After pondering for a moment, Tian Wenjian lit a cigarette and said in a puff: "Kevin Carter, a freelance photojournalist from South Africa, won the Pulitzer Prize for Feature Photography in 1994, it can be said that he is the best in our industry and used to be my idol.

His award-winning work, called "The Hungry Girl," is a little girl lying on the ground, not far behind whom a vulture is waiting for her to die, ready for her to be a good meal. The work was a great success, both from an artistic and journalistic point of view, and it was featured in Time magazine. The Pulitzer Prize for Photojournalism jury commented on it as a striking representation of the overthrow of human surnames and the despair of the entire continent. ”

After Tian Wenjian paused, he continued: "But do you know where this work came about? He waited at the scene for twenty minutes, hoping that the vulture would spread its wings. Because if that happens, the photo will have a stronger visual impact. His sincere confession was met with some humanitarian criticism. Because when a girl is going to starve to death at any time, instead of saving people first, how to shoot a more visual effect, where will this put people's lives? ”

It's a heavy topic, and although it is not clear what Tian Wenjian wants to express, Yang Xiaoguang said thoughtfully: "If the photos are visually better, it will make more people, including South Africans themselves, pay more attention to human lives, and thus end the civil unrest." ”

"According to the words of some classical theorists, it is the overall interest of human beings that is higher than the interests of individual lives, or that the collective interests are higher than the interests of the individual, and it is worth sacrificing the individual for the sake of humanity or for the sake of the collective." After Tian Wenjian took a deep puff of cigarette, he said lightly: "But in a Western society that regards the value of the individual above all else, his defense is obviously pale and weak. So Carter began to have a mental breakdown and finally committed suicide.

Before committing suicide, he dreamed of the vultures in the photograph and saw them spread their wings towards him, so it can be said that Carter's death was due to guilt in conscience. This is the photojournalist, if you encounter any kind of accident, whether you want to or not, you have to raise your camera to take a picture first. The scene is bloody, the victims are dying, and you have to finish your work before you can save people. Maybe it's just a few minutes that a fresh life will leave us. ”

Wen Qiming reacted and couldn't help asking, "Have you ever encountered such a situation?" ”

"As Nurse Yu said, most of my meetings are eating and filming leaders at all levels. But this kind of thing happens to my brothers every day, especially the brothers who are stationed in those hot spots. After Tian Wenjian took a deep breath, he said casually: "My story is finished, can I drink now?" ”

The atmosphere was a little heavy, Yang Xiaoguang hurriedly raised his glass and said impassionedly: "Comrades, to put it mildly, our profession is the most sacred. Not only to protect the family and defend the country, but also to cure the sick and save people, come to ...... For the health team...... Go for one! ”
