Chapter 121: The Duties of a Soldier (25)
Just when Bai Yi was at a loss for what to do for his sudden becoming a volunteer, in an ordinary house in Xishan, Beiping, the 102nd chief, who had just been transferred from South China to Beiping, was pacing back and forth in the small living room with a calm face and hands behind his back, and he didn't know how long he had come, before he stopped and looked directly at the head of the general rear in his seat, and said angrily: "Nonsense, it's just nonsense, those little ghosts are messing around, you are an old revolutionary, an old comrade, how can you follow the nonsense!" ”
"What? Letting that little guy join the volunteer army is nonsense? ”
"yes, it's nonsense!" As he spoke, the 102 chief hurriedly walked up to the head of the general rear, pulled a chair and sat on the opposite side, his face was eager, and he was also very sincere: "You should know who he is, that old guy has been working for a lifetime of revolution and left such a species, who will take care of us old fellows if we don't help take care of it?"
When he came back from the Soviet Union, he was supposed to send him to the party school, but that little ghost was young and vigorous, and he had to join the army, so he had no choice but to be assigned to me.
I'm really afraid that he will have another accident, so I will find a transfer to you from the beginning, I thought that this would allow him to live a safe and stable life, you can be good, the front foot will be in your hands, and the back foot will be kicked to the battlefield for him, you also know what enemy you are going to face, if there is a three long and two short, what face do we have to meet that old guy? ”
After listening to the words of the 102 chief, the deep eyes of the head of the general logistics department unconsciously revealed a little melancholy, but in the next moment, he was determined again without hesitation, they were all old comrades-in-arms who rolled out of the trenches, and they had already had a tacit understanding, and perhaps others could not feel the psychological fluctuations of the head of the general rear.

But the 102 chief was immediately aware of it, so he stood up again, and his voice was raised again: "I know what you want to do, and it is a pretext to test the combat effectiveness of new equipment at close range, you want to check the gap between the equipment of our army and the US army on the spot, and then seek solutions in equipment to make up for the shortcomings of our army's equipment, so as to introduce relevant machinery and equipment, materials and production processes to the Soviet Union in a targeted manner."
Finally completing the primitive accumulation of the basic industrial base, you do this with a long-term vision, and even the head of the central government praises it, but the question is that this kind of front-line experience comes out of that little guy, and no one else can go? I don't believe that apart from Bai Yi, you can't find anyone else who is suitable for such a job! ”
"Yes!"
As soon as the 102 chief's voice fell, the voice of the chief of the general rear rang out in this small room: "I sent out all the technicians with battlefield experience, and even Xiao Chen, who has been with me, asked me to arrange for the vanguard. ”
Listening to the previous words, the 102 chief didn't feel anything, but after hearing the name Xiao Chen, he couldn't help but be stunned, and after knowing for a while, he asked noncommittally: "Xiao Chen, did you send Xiao Chen's child too?" ”
"Didn't you also send your son and nephew to the front-line troops of the Volunteer Army? What, mine doesn't work? ”
"No, I mean, Xiao Chen's child's body...... What's more, you and Sister Cai have been ...... for so many years If only there was a ......"
102 The chief stopped halfway through his words, although sitting opposite was an old comrade-in-arms who could talk about everything, but when it came to privacy, he was not easy to speak, but the meaning of his words was already clearly expressed, and it was said that the head and his wife of the General Logistics Department had indeed sacrificed a lot for the revolution.
The two were married during the Agrarian Revolutionary War, and soon had a child, Xiaochen, but the days of the family of three did not last long, and the enemy's crazy encirclement and suppression forced our army to implement a strategic shift, and in the process of the long-distance march, the wife of the head of the General Logistics, Sister Cai, suffered from a serious illness, although after several efforts to save her life, but since then she has lost her fertility.
At that time, Xiao Chen was only three or four years old, relying on the head of the General Logistics and a group of soldiers to carry him in baskets, and walked tens of thousands of miles of transfer road, lack of nutrition, and lack of medical treatment, it was already a miracle to arrive at the destination alive.
But to live is to live, Xiao Chen, like his mother, also left the root of the disease, so the head of the General Logistics has been keeping it by his side, taking care of it, as he grows older in recent years, his health is better, but he didn't expect that as soon as the Korean War started, he sent this only child to the battlefield.
The head of the 102 looked at the head of the general post in puzzlement, not knowing what he was thinking, the head of the head of the general post naturally saw the doubts of the head of the 102, and couldn't help but smile gently, and said word by word: "No why, just for this country." Sending one's own children to the battlefield sounds a bit cruel, but in this new country, such things happen every day, workers, peasants, merchants, intellectuals, are their children not children, our children are children?
What's more, didn't the big head of the central government do the same, so what qualifications do I have to talk about exceptions? It's not a bad thing to send it for exercise, for this, I think even if Lao Bai is alive, he will choose the same as you and me, and he will not let Bai Yi stay in the rear safely.
You also know that Lao Bai has been attacking and rushing forward since the day he joined the army, and the retreat must be broken, without him, not to mention you, me, even the leaders of a higher level may not be able to live now, yes, he has made great contributions to the revolution, and his children should also be different, but the problem is that the difference is not equal to privilege.
At a time when the country is in danger and territorial sovereignty is in danger, his identity is no longer the bereaved family of a revolutionary martyr, but a soldier, a soldier who needs to carry a gun at all times and resist the enemy's aggression with his body, and this is the duty of a soldier, Bai Yi is like this, Xiao Chen is like this, your son and nephew are also like this, as for old bones like you and me, if it is necessary, it is the same! ”
After hearing this, the 102 chief gradually eased the layer of anger on his face, and his body unconsciously sat back in his original seat, and after a long time, he shook his head noncommittally: "I'm just worried, if there are really three long and two short, the price is too great!" ”
"In the process of a country's revival to rise, it is bound to bear the pain that others cannot understand, Britain, France, Japan, and the United States have all experienced such pain, so there are some costs that we must bear, not to mention that there are two sides to things, often challenges and opportunities coexist, by the way, look at this ......"
