We were shocked by their firm revolutionary conviction, and we said excitedly: The comrades in the border columns have persisted in the struggle behind enemy lines, withstood the cruel tests of struggle, and established revolutionary base areas. ……。 In the end, everyone hugged each other, held hands tightly, and determined to carry out the revolution to the end and make new contributions to the revolution!

From Luo County to Zong County, the people in the base areas are overjoyed, their spirits are uplifted, and they do everything they can to provide convenience for us as if they were relatives; the cadres and masses are filled with the joy of victory and full of confidence in the future, and their mental outlook has greatly infected us and strengthened our fighting spirit.

When spring came, I saw the local people, adults and children, all carrying people on their shoulders to carry fertilizer to the paddy fields. As soon as we arrived at the campsite, we helped the masses deliver fertilizer, dig soil, repair ditches, clean up, and work for the lonely elderly and the families of martyrs.

On March 8, they arrived at Luochai Village in Zong County, and the soldiers of the army worked hard all afternoon to repair a long canal, and a small bridge was erected on the channel, and handrails were installed on the bridge to facilitate the elderly and children to walk. Female comrades went deep into every household, visited the poor and asked about their suffering, helped wash clothes, scooped rice and flour, especially helped the elderly and the families of martyrs, and conducted social surveys.

They learned that there were also bad customs such as foot binding, arranged marriages, brotherly wives, and concubinage. This is a feudal bad habit formed for thousands of years, when it was still in the war period, the local people were still quite poor, and there was no land reform, so the problem of women's turning over had not been solved. It is true that the people in the liberated areas have turned over politically, but they are very backward economically, and the masses of the people have not yet solved the problem of food and clothing, and only when a new social system is established and the people become rich, will these ignorances brought about by poverty be eliminated.

I remember that on the way to the front station in Guixian and Anxian counties of Puyang Province, I saw those ragged and rickety people from time to time. The men were barely clothed, and the women had only a fig leaf. Once, when we saw a man ploughing a hillside from afar, and when we passed by her, we were astonished to see a naked woman at work, and she probably noticed our doubtful gaze, and immediately turned her back, put her hands on her chest, and squatted down, and bowed her head deeply.

Poverty is not innate, poverty and ignorance are brothers, the product of the system of exploitation of all evils, and it is time to completely smash the system of exploitation of all evils!

At the beginning of March 1950, the vanguard of the Corps had arrived in Chuncheng, and our army was invincible, and all reactionary forces fled in despair. Eastern Yunnan, southern Yunnan and other places have been basically liberated, and local ** is being established. There are more than 100 miles from Zongxian to Lu County, we hit the front station of the short road, of course, mainly the mountain road, more than 100 miles walked for more than ten hours, it is not far from Lu County, then suddenly saw the fire in the distance, I don't know what happened, we immediately rushed to fight the fire.

This is a pasture, the ranch houses, pasture grass and so on are on fire, many horses, cows and other livestock are surrounded by the fire, livestock in the fence rushing and screaming, dozens of us some of us put out the fire, some rushed into the fire, open the fence, put the cattle and horses out, only to see some livestock by the grass led to the fire, the livestock frightened, rushing to the road.

We fought hard for a long time, but in the end, because of the grass and fire, nine houses were engulfed in flames. It's strange that the big ranch is full of fire, why can't there be a single figure? When all the livestock were rescued and the fire gradually subsided, suddenly an old man who was nearly half a hundred years old came out of nowhere and asked him where the people were here? He was confused (mé

g) Shaking his head knowingly, he didn't know what to say, and his mouth spewed a strong smell of wine, which was disgusting.

We walked into the burned house, only to see that there were many chemical and physical experimental instruments and experimental drugs in the house, and the house was full of smoke and miasma, and it was a mess, maybe this was once a school.

Who set the fire? Why is it left unattended? Maybe it was the drunken old man, maybe it was the counter-revolutionaries who set the fire, but because we had to hurry, seeing that the fire was basically extinguished and all the cattle were saved, we left the pasture.

The revolutionary situation developed rapidly, and the troops directly under our regiment were stationed in Chuncheng in early March to take charge of military control in Chuncheng. The 13th Army had already taken control of Mengcheng and Hecheng in southern Yunnan, cut off the passage for the remnants of the reactionary bandits to flee to Vietnam, and continued to intercept the reactionary army from fleeing to Burma to the west, so as to achieve the goal of eliminating the reactionary army in the territory.

On March 13, 1950, the military university successively arrived at the south gate of Chuncheng - Yixian. Our brigade lives in a large village two kilometers from Yi County. A Yunnan-Vietnam narrow-gauge railway passes in front of the village. The little train climbed like an old cow, whining and panting, and some comrades joked: "It's so slow, I can catch up with it even if I pee." "That's certainly an exaggeration. In order to give a good image to the citizens of Chuncheng, we carried out a six-day rectification in Yixian County.

The first major thing is hygiene. "Public before private", first clean the environment around the residence - no garbage, no weeds, no smelly puddles. Repair roads, clean manure tanks, etc., and inspect the evaluation mile. After the "official business" is done, the "private matter" - personal hygiene.

Marching every day, it is rare to wash clothes once, and many people are born with scabies, and pus and blood exude a foul smell. I also contracted scabies early on, and I often itched so much at night that I couldn't sleep. This is because the march is sweaty and watery, sleeping on damp ground or straw, and having no time to bathe, which becomes a breeding ground for bacteria. Although it is easy to walk with leggings, sweating, wading, wet, and dry and wet, some comrades have arthritis because of this.

There is a sulfur hot spring not far from Yixian County, and the troops arrange for personnel to take a bath there every day, and everyone's clothes and bedding are also taken for washing and disinfection, and after a few days, the scabies on the whole body have healed, and the people are much refreshed. The men and women all had their haircuts, their clothes were neat and neat, they all became beautiful women and handsome men, and it seemed that everyone was a few years younger.

The second major task is to rectify the appearance of the military. The clothes should be clean, the military appearance should be neat, the buttons should be patched up, and the pace and formation should be re-drilled, and every move and style must be qualified. As soon as the day dawned, as soon as the military horn sounded, they practiced on the highway. Our deputy captain of the soprano in the northwest of Jin (promoted) called the password "one, two, three, four", and shouted "yes, he, three, division"; Shouting "one, two, one" is shouted as "yes, he, yes......". I remember when I was in Hongdu, the first time I heard him shout a password like this, it made everyone laugh, and now when I hear it, I want to laugh again, but after a few days, everyone got used to it, and the pace was neat and consistent. The slogans shook the sky and added a lot of life to this peaceful little village. After practicing in the morning and in the afternoon, the superior said, "You must practice hard kung fu." ”

The third major event is the review of the training team. The higher authorities decided to let us students and soldiers participate in the army's Spring City entry ceremony and be inspected by the citizens of Spring City and the head of the corps. Everyone was very happy to hear this, and they were all determined to show the military spirit of the people's army! The coach demonstrated how to move, how to keep the square formation neat and uniform, and how to bow to the review stand. Since we have a solid foundation in walking, we focus on practicing the square team walking in curves and bowing to the review stand when passing by. After several military parade rehearsals, it quickly passed smoothly.
