The sun shone on this frozen land, on the faces of this group of soldiers far away from the motherland, they were like the rising sun, facing the darkness and cold, emitting all the energy, warming themselves and the world.

Time passed minute by minute, Wu Xiangsen took Liu Yan and Yizhang to inspect the three positions of Shuangjingli, Lancun, and Fengweili, and hurried to the headquarters of Fengtouli, along the way, Wu Xiangsen still had no bottom in his heart about the second general offensive that was about to be launched tonight, it stands to reason that the four regiments that were reinforced have entered the position, and the morale of the team has recovered well, but he always feels that there is a problem, this feeling has begun to worsen since yesterday when Yizhang mentioned the Siping Campaign, and he always felt that the arrangement of troops in Xinli was familiar, He looked at Liu Yizhang beside him, he was still as rigorous as ever, he didn't open his mouth, and he wouldn't take the initiative to say a word for a day, but several times Liu Yizhang was able to give a pre-battle speech in front of the public, and Wu Xiangsen liked Yizhang more and more.

"Yizhang, you did two big things today, both of which impressed me."

"Commander Wu, you love me too much, I am sometimes reckless and often swearing, which makes you laugh."

"What's the point of swearing a few words, there is no soldier in the world who doesn't swear. Yizhang, there are a lot of fellow villagers who came to Korea with you to participate in the war, right? ”

Yizhang found Wu Xiangsen and others during his speech, and Wu Xiangsen should have known that Shuangliu Village had sacrificed a lot to comfort himself. Thinking of this, Yizhang said calmly, "Commander, my hometown Shuangliu Village, a total of thirteen people came to the last winter conscription, these thirteen people except for my father's righteous son Wang Shoujiang, the rest are my own family, and now I know that four people have been sacrificed, that is to say, there are at most nine people alive, in fact, not only my hometown, I also asked a few company commanders, most of the soldiers who died in each battle were recruits, and most of the recruits who died were from Shandong. This is nothing, just like the War of Resistance Against Japan, the most sacrificed is the Sichuan army, which is difficult for anyone to think, when our country and nation suffer a huge disaster, the Chinese nation will burst out the most tenacious struggle, the most tenacious thing in the world in my opinion is the human heart! If the heart does not die, the country will not die! This human heart is the root of our Chinese nation! Roots passed down through blood! ”

Compared with himself when he left Shuangliu Village three months ago, Yizhang felt the biggest difference, that is, the interpretation of his family and country, this feeling made him feel like a knife every time he saw his comrades fall, so that he saw his comrades cry because of frostbite, so that he would retrigate in the face of the enemy's provocation, and he would fight back in the face of the enemy's atrocities. Yin is not the grass and trees of the radicals, but the self-cultivation of all sentient beings, which has nothing to do with power, knowledge, or wealth.

Wu Xiangsen understands his dialogue with Yizhang as throwing bricks and attracting jade, and he himself doesn't know when it started, he has regarded Yizhang as a friend in the past years, the kind of friend who is a mentor and a friend, Yizhang is sometimes bold and reckless, ignoring discipline and worldliness, and daring to poke a hole in the sky; Sometimes humble and polite, not slow or sick, gentle as jade, let people like a spring breeze, no matter which side, Wu Xiangsen is very fond of it, and can see his own shadow from Yizhang. When he witnessed Yizhang jumping like thunder, chasing enemy planes everywhere with a machine gun to shoot, it was this kind of almost crazy action, he personally felt what Yizhang said in his speech, how much grief he had for the sacrificed comrades, he would have a hundredfold hatred for the enemy, Yizhang is a true man with righteousness!

"Yizhang, you are right, at the time of the life and death of the country and the nation, as a soldier, the family and the country are supreme! Just like this Korean War, a battle for the founding of the country, related to the long-term peace and stability of New China and the vision and well-being of the Chinese people, no matter how big the sacrifice is worth it, but as front-line commanders, we must do our best to protect the soldiers, seeing the soldiers die because of our command mistakes, because of lack of medical treatment and frostbite, we are all extremely distressed, Mr. Peng once personally returned to China to coordinate because of the soldier's death from frostbite, you know? Premier Zhou told Mr. Peng that New China will take out more than 60% of the country's total income for a year to support this war, since it is a battle for the founding of the country, it must also be a battle for the whole country, "for the sacrifice of many ambitions", now the country is undergoing spring conscription, in addition to the seven-foot boys, especially touching is that there are many girls who also enthusiastically signed up to join the army, Chairman Mao wrote a poem on this, "The sons and daughters of China have many strange ambitions, I don't love red clothes and love arms', my niece Yutong is one of them, my hometown is in Macheng, Hubei, because I participated in the revolution, my family was implicated, including parents, sisters-in-law, cousins and other immediate family members dozens of people were killed by the Kuomintang, the only surviving relatives in my hometown are my niece Yutong, now studying in Nanjing Jinling Middle School, in order to join the army and go to North Korea, she and her classmates jointly wrote a petition to the East China Military Region, and also wrote to me many times, asking me to help her join the army smoothly, how can there be a relationship between running to the front line and sending him to death? But I can't find a reason to refuse her, you also see that the battlefield does need health soldiers, communication soldiers and art troupe of literary and artistic soldiers, most of these non-combatants are girls, they do not directly participate in the battle, but they are an indispensable and important force in the battle, Yutong said in the letter that as long as she can be approved to go to the DPRK, she can do these jobs, this is just like you just said, they are the self-cultivation of all living beings, the most simple and noble feelings of family and country, is the heart of the people, is the root of our nation! Wu Xiangsen along the way with Yizhang narrated, is an elder's earnest teachings, but also an old friend's heartfelt conversation, in the war, may be sacrificed at any time in the eventful years, this bitter friendship and family is precious, Yizhang feels that he has obtained an unprecedented sense of identity and belonging, this is the war brings people a unique sense of life, the soldier for the confidant to die!

Liu Yan rode a horse behind Wu Xiangsen and Yizhang, their conversation was in his ears, he was two years older than Yizhang, not to mention, and the time he followed Wu Xiangsen was much longer than Yizhang, but Wu Xiangsen had never had such a heart-to-heart conversation with himself, Liu Yan got along with Yizhang day and night these days, and felt more and more ashamed of himself, Yizhang is the best man he has ever seen, not only civil and military, his conversation, manners and thoughts are so otherworldly, compared to himself, Yizhang is a legend!

"Commander Wu, the regimental-level commanders of our army who participated in the Battle of Toxinli have arrived, just waiting for you to hold a regular meeting before the war!" Xu Weiguo and Wang Shiguang have been waiting for Wu Xiangsen at the entrance of Fengtouli Village for a long time.
