Chapter 10: The Heart of a Child
Liu Yizhang and other recruits rushed to the Northeast Military Region by steamer from Penglai overnight, and it was originally planned that this group of recruits would first go to the Shandong Military Region for training for a period of time, and then go to North Korea to fight after the Spring Festival of the Year of the Rabbit, but the Korean battlefield is changing rapidly, and the higher authorities require the new recruits to go to North Korea as soon as possible, and train while marching.
Liu Yizhang's milk name is Kaowen, nicknamed Hedong Xiaobawang, among the nine uncles and brothers, he is the third in the big line, known as the third brother! In the cabin, Liu Yizhang tossed and turned, difficult to sleep, early this morning, he came to the ancestral tomb alone to pay respects, caressing all kinds of ancient stele stone carvings, ancestors have anti-Japanese famous generals, there are farming merchants, there are literati and ink writers, they have all served the country in their own ways, sweat and green to leave a name, I recommend Xuanyuan with my blood sense of mission spontaneously, he picked up a handful of loess and wrapped it in a handkerchief and put it in his pocket.
The bumpy steamer, the boundless sea, the waning moon hangs high, the wind and waves are high, Liu Yizhang's heart fluctuates, and his imagination is fluttering, the eldest brother Liu Renzhang is cowardly and afraid, the third brother Liu Lizhang's whereabouts are unknown, the fourth brother Liu Zhizhang is polite, and the younger brother Liu Xinzhang is the most pitiful......
"Third brother, have you slept?" Wang Shoujiang slept in Liu Yizhang's neighboring bunk, head to head.
"How can you sleep peacefully? Guarding the frontier, don't you can't sleep either! ”
"Yes, third brother, I can't sleep, I'm too excited during the day, if my father and mother know underground, how happy I should be, I lost my father at the age of six, I lost my mother at the age of ten, if it weren't for my godfather to help me over the years, let alone being a soldier, whether I can survive is a question, my godfather regards me as his own, and his kindness to me is greater than the sky, these years, he not only helped me in life, but also let me study private school with my uncle for free for three years, and last year I became the village security director and militia company commander, third brother, in case I died in the Korean battlefield this time, Please tell my godfather, I will repay his kindness in the next life! In the end, Wang Shoujiang's voice was a little choked.
"Defend the frontier, you don't have to carry such a big ideological burden, my father is the village head, he should share it to help you take care of you, not to mention that you are still his righteous son, this time we went to fight in North Korea to defend New China, my father's expectations for us are very high, if we really die in battle, it will be considered a return for my father, you know, my father's greatest wish is to hope that we will kill the enemy bravely and serve the country!"
"Third brother, you're right, this time we are the thirteen friends who joined the army in Shuangliu Village, I am the oldest, although I used to be the village's security director and militia company commander, but I know that this is all promoted by my godfather, in fact, the militia in the village, including me, is the only third brother, you are the first to look forward, you are both civil and military, you are righteous, everyone obeys you, respects you, and follows you to fight with your heart!"
"Shoujiang, what kind of civil and military are I? It's just a few carving insect skills, and it's hard to get into the hall of elegance! ”
"Third brother, you are too modest, you know me best, I didn't like to read when I was a child, if it wasn't for my godfather forcing me to read a private school, I wouldn't want to read a day, I just like to dance with guns and sticks, I hope that this time when I go to the Korean battlefield, I can make some military achievements, and in the future, I will be like Zhang Shibao to carp jump the dragon gate, and seek an official and a half-position in **, and it will not be in vain for my godfather to cultivate my land over the years!"
"Eh, eh, eh, three, three, three, third brother, brother Shoujiang, according to me, let's remember what my second uncle Daddy Liu told us before leaving, it's good to be able to do it!" Liu Houzhang suddenly interjected and said that he also had a lot of things in his heart that he wanted to say to Liu Yizhang, but because he was stammering, he was reluctant to say more in public.
"Old Five, did I wake you up by talking to Shoujiang?"
"Third brother, you two didn't quarrel with me, what you said to Brother Shoujiang is so reasonable, I can listen to it fascinated!"
"Yes, third brother, I can also listen to it!" In the cabin, shouts rose one after another, everyone dared to love everyone's own affairs, and no one slept!
Liu Yizhang jumped up from the bed board, led everyone to kneel on the board, and swore in the direction of his hometown that he would not break Loulan's oath and not return it!
The night is getting deeper and deeper, the moon is getting brighter and brighter, she is like a loving mother, staring at this group of babies from the countryside kindly, they have never fought on the battlefield, and some have not even fought, but at this moment they share a belief, that is, they would rather be shrouded in horse leather on the battlefield than take half a step back! Shuangliu Village is located in the east corner of Huangxian County, frequently close to Bohai Bay, the ancient land of Dongyi, the traffic is extremely inconvenient, even during the Anti-Japanese War, small Japan has not touched Shuangliu Village, but Shuangliu Village, but more than a dozen anti-Japanese martyrs have emerged!
Think of the land of my Shenzhou, the surrounding tribes in ancient times were called barbaric land, the so-called Dongyi, Nanban, Xirong, Beidi, mostly the princes and ministers, literati and ink writers suffered derogatory exile, after thousands of years of ethnic migration, has long been integrated, especially since the late Qing Dynasty, the Western powers coveted my Chinese artifact, strong ships and cannons opened the coastal portal, many ports along the coast were forced to open, economic plunder, cultural immersion, where there is oppression, there is resistance, the wave of revolution is surging, Nanban Guangzhou, From the sale of cigarettes in Humen, to the anti-British resistance in Sanyuanli, and then to the 72 martyrs of Huanghuagang, it has become the birthplace of China's old democratic revolution; After the First World War, at the Paris talks, the Western powers disregarded China's interests and ceded Qingdao to Japan, which aroused the raging anger of the Chinese people and detonated the vigorous May Fourth Movement. Xirong Yan'an, the three main forces of the Red Army triumphantly joined forces, pillowed and waited, the Xi'an Incident, and the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party set off an upsurge of the national war of resistance; Now, on the banks of the Yalu River in Beidi, the beacon fire is blazing, and the so-called United Nations forces led by the United States are vainly trying to destroy New China through the Korean War.
