In the following period, Chen Zhongyuan and I ran around in various cities and places under the leadership of Master Pang. Factories, schools, stadiums, and even some troops have been there.

It makes me feel like I'm a celebrity and I'm going to be around. This is not? Every day, we either "perform" in this place or meet "acting fans" in that place, and every time we go to a place, we will be warmly welcomed by a large number of "star chasers"; Every time I finish a report, I can set off a lot of 'waves' and 'waves' in the local area. applause, fresh flowers, tears, cheers, handshakes" so that within a few days, each of us had swollen hands and sore shoulders.

One time we were doing a debriefing at the stadium and a couple of people went around the stadium. All the people waved and cheered at us like crazy, and for a whole hour we could see nothing, only arms, flowers, and tears in our eyes, and we could hear nothing, only greetings and slogans in our ears.

People went crazy, so much so that the local government staff later told us that more than 100 stools in the stadium had been trampled on, and they had never seen such a scene, not even at the height of the game. Division Commander Pang offered to pay the troops to compensate for the loss, but the staff refused.

He said to us with emotion: "This is understandable, we are happy to step on a broken stool in this situation!" The more you step on it, the better! The more bad stools there are, the more it shows that our Chinese people are united, and the more it shows that the blood of our Chinese is hot."

Of course, sometimes it doesn't mean that tears are the only ones that speak for themselves. In fact, when I interviewed North Korea in modern times, North Korean tour guides tearfully told us about the history of their leader's upbringing. But I was not half moved in my heart, my mother knew that there was not much truth in this. In their textbooks, they also tell about the heroic deeds of Kim Il Sung who used the 38 big cover to shoot down American fighters!

But now, I believe that all of this is true. Because I have my own experience, sometimes when I listen to it, my nose is also sore, and tears can't help but fall.

I have also seen some of them that have not shed tears, and there is a saying that "silence is better than sound at this time", which may also be extended to "tears are better than no tears at this time".

It was a couple of old men and old women, standing on crutches in the bitter cold wind. After watching us motionless for a long time, the snow 'flowers' floated all over their shoulders and accumulated into a thick layer. They didn't shed tears, they didn't cheer, they didn't come up to say hello to us, they didn't wave to us.

But me and the other warriors. They all saw in their eyes something more precious and deeper than tears and cheers.

Time flies quickly, and in the blink of an eye, half a month's vacation is over. Sitting in the jeep on this day, I said to Commander Pang who was sitting next to me: "Commander, the soldiers of the Bracelet Regiment are coming back, do you see if I should?"

"Hmm, is it half a month away? Master Pang couldn't help but be stunned, and after thinking about it, he replied, "There's no need to be in such a hurry!" The punishment team is taken care of by Deputy Head Liu, what are you worried about? ”

"Huh?" Hearing this, I couldn't help but ask in confusion: "What does the division commander mean, "I continue to report like this?" The soldiers in the regiment don't need to care? ”

"You're doing a great job." Master Pang replied: "I have led the team to make several reports before, but it is the first time that I have been able to react so strongly and with such good results like yours. You're a good boy! It's powerful on the battlefield, and there are two hands on the stage, and it's really like people say, it's gold that shines wherever it is placed! ”

"But Pang Shi was quilted."

"Comrade Cui Wei!" Master Pang said with a smile: "You must fully understand the important 'nature' of propaganda warfare!" These are extraordinary times, and we need the unity and support of the people of the whole country. The war is to be fought, and the troops are also to be fought, but we are now in a period of recuperation, and the primary task is propaganda, which is to establish the image of our first-class army among the people of the whole country. On the battlefield, we must use rifles against the enemy, and we must use true affection for our compatriots in the rear. Making a report in the rear is no less useful than fighting a winning battle on the front line! ”

"I know that!" I replied.

As a reporter, of course I know the role of propaganda and ***, but I feel that in these reports, it is Chen Zhongyuan's fighters who can play a more important role, and I am just one of the foils. What's more important is that Chen Zhongyuan and several of them all have such and such injuries, and their bodies are full of military merit medals. And I don't have any injuries, no" shouldn't say that there are no injuries, but if you want people to see my injuries, you have to take off your clothes. But even if I did, I could only find two insignificant bullet holes on my body.

So I hesitated and said, "But Master, don't you think I'm a little different from those heroes?" ”

"What's the difference? It's not the same, they're all battle heroes! ”

"But, but I'm not hurt!" I said helplessly: "I always feel that the people in the audience look at me with different eyes every time!"

"Psychologically, you!" Master Pang smiled: "Why don't I think so?" What's wrong with no injuries? You can't be a hero if you don't get hurt? Can't make a report if you don't have an injury? We are fighting for life and death on the battlefield, do we have to do it in order to make a report? ”

"That's not what I meant! I explained: "If I am an ordinary soldier, then the villagers are also, "I think I am a regimental commander, a regimental commander who is not injured!" Thousands of people ridiculed me and thought, other heroes are disabled, that is, you, the regiment commander, are good and dignified, what are you doing here without going to the battlefield to fight? Maybe it's still a related household.,*** or something.,Come here to ask for applause.

"What a 'mess' mess," Xiao Pang couldn't help but pat my head angrily when he heard this: "I said you kid, why are you thinking about so many 'messy' things in your head, we are not afraid of ghosts knocking on the 'door' if we don't do anything wrong!" We are an upright hero, who stipulates that only those who lack arms and legs can be heroes? Give me a good time on stage, you guys! ”

When Master Pang said this, I wouldn't dare to put forward any more opinions! Let's bite the bullet! Anyway, I don't really care about the speculation of that small group of people.

In fact, I knew very well in my heart that this was not my psychological effect, but it was really strange to look at people who looked at me, and once someone even asked me if I had ever shot or been on the battlefield."

"Squeak!" At this moment, a jeep driving at the front suddenly stopped, and those of us who were following behind also braked suddenly. Master Pang couldn't help frowning. The complexion of his face instantly became solemn.

I know what Master Pang's expression means. The drivers brought by Division Commander Pang were all returned from the Korean battlefield. When they were in North Korea before, they walked no matter how rough the road was, even evading enemy planes. Now that I am back in the country, driving on this highway where there are no bomb craters and no planes, the sudden braking like this shows one thing, that is, there is an emergency, and it is an emergency that cannot be delayed for a second.

Sure enough, as soon as the jeep in front of us stopped, a telegraph operator jumped out of the car, stopped outside our car at a trot, and gave a quick salute before handing a telegram in.

"Hmm!" Master Pang glanced at the telegram and immediately ordered: "Cancel all trips immediately and return to Anton immediately!" ”

"Yes!" The telegraph soldier answered, and immediately conveyed the order of Division Commander Pang, and the four jeeps immediately turned around and drove towards Anton.

The jeep swayed left and right on the road, and the people in the car also swayed from side to side, and Master Pang frowned, as if he was thinking about something. I wanted to ask what the situation was, but in the end I held back. The taboo of being a soldier is to ask questions in a 'chaotic manner', especially when a subordinate faces a superior. After being the head of the regiment for so long, I also understand a truth, that is, what should be told to you, the superiors will naturally tell you, and what should not be told will be scolded! So I'm learning to be obedient now, suppressing a lot of curiosity in my heart, and not saying a word.

"Li Qiwei has returned to China!" It took a long time before Master Pang spit out a sentence.

"Hmm!" I couldn't help but be stunned when I heard this, and asked in surprise: "Li Qiwei has returned to China?" Commander-in-Chief Zhuo of the United Nations has returned home? ”

Actually, the surprise on my face was faked.

The reason why I want to pretend to be surprised is because I am worried that Master Pang will see something. What kind of person is Master Pang, I don't dare to 'show' my flaws in front of him.

At this time, it should also be the time for Li Qiwei to return to China! In the entire Korean battlefield, there were three commanders-in-chief of the United Army: the first was the arrogant MacArthur, the second was Ridgway, who stabilized the Korean war, and the third was Clark, who facilitated the negotiations. It's the prime of life, and it's time for Clark to take the stage!

"The net received a telegram from the military department!" After being silent for a while, Division Commander Pang continued: "Li Qiwei has been transferred to the Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. His command in Korea was taken over by a man named Clark. The military headquarters was worried that the situation on the front line would change, and ordered us to prepare for reinforcements in Korea! ”

"Oh!" Master Pang's words made me breathe a sigh of relief.

The burden of the superiors is reasonable, and the new official takes office with three fires! No matter who comes to power, he will want to make a different career from his predecessor, and he also hopes to use the results and facts to show that he is better than the previous one. At this point, Ridgway has done a great job. Because he brought the United ***, which was on the verge of collapse, back to the 38th parallel. This also allowed him to take over Eisenhower's position as the supreme commander of the Allied forces in Europe.

Clark is also human, so he will be no exception, and he will certainly want to do better than Ridgway.

But the reality is cruel again. At this time, the battle line of the Korean battlefield had been basically stabilized, and at any point, even along the coastline, both sides had laid heavy troops and built strong fortifications. The battle between the two sides has been transformed from the interspersing and division of large forces into a tug-of-war on the 38th parallel. Under these circumstances, Clark was not destined to do much in office.

"You don't seem to be worried? Master Pang asked.

I secretly said that this Master Pang is really sharp-eyed, and even such a small movement can't escape his eyes. So I had to answer, "Yes."

"Tell me why!" Master Pang naturally refused to let me go so easily.

"This," I thought about it for a moment, and then replied, "It's actually quite simple, Clark is in charge, he needs time to get acquainted with the situation on the battlefield, and at the same time he needs time to get acquainted with his troops. Besides, since the summer and autumn defensive battles in August last year, when the two sides sat down at the negotiating table for more than eight months, the US military has hardly launched a large-scale attack on us, and it has not dared to openly "small... After the destruction of our army, we wept for a while, and our comrades in the line, Fan Shao, were fully prepared for the strategic materials, and a rash attack would only put the United Army in trouble again. So I think. Although Clark is a new officer, he doesn't dare to launch a new offensive against our army so soon, and even if he dares to launch an offensive, it will only make a mess! ”

I don't have to worry about being wrong, because the actual information has already told me that the next battle that will take place during Clark's tenure will be the famous Battle of Shangganling, which is still more than four months away.

I also know that the battle plan for Shangganling was put forward several times by Van Vliet when Ridgway was in office. But Ridgway is a man who pays attention to the strategic big picture. He was well aware that in such a situation, the final way out of the Korean War was negotiations. Therefore, spending a lot of manpower and material resources on the front to capture one or two small hills will not play much role in the outcome. So he never agreed to Van Vliet's plan. It wasn't until Clark came to power, and after months of 'fine' preparation on the battlefield, he finally started the war that ultimately cost him a lot of face, at the suggestion of Van Vliet.

"Well, you have a point." Division Commander Pang nodded, and his face looked a little better: "I thought that the soldiers had just come back and were about to go to the battlefield again." Hear you say that. We have at least a few months to prepare! ”

"But," then Commander Pang added: "Having said that, we still have to be prepared, and we must not let the soldiers be too lax, and we must not let the soldiers enjoy too much in this peaceful atmosphere." Otherwise, when the motherland and the Korean people need us, we will already become an inert army without combat effectiveness! ”

"Yes!" I nodded.

There is no doubt about this, the so-called sailing against the current will not advance, then retreat, and fighting a war is actually similar. If you enjoy it too much in a peaceful world, even if it is only for a few months, a good warrior will lose the courage to fight bravely on the battlefield.

On the other hand, being disconnected from the front line for too long can also disconnect the soldiers from the situation on the battlefield. Just like the army that just succeeded us, they were the first troops to enter the DPRK. It can be said that he was the patriarch of the Korean War. But when they returned to China to rest for a year and went to the battlefield again, they found that the Korean War was already being fought in a completely unfamiliar way to them!

"Therefore, our focus in the future is to return to how to keep the fighters strong in combat!" Master Pang continued: "We must be ready to respond to the call of the motherland at any time and be able to quickly enter the combat state. In addition, I also learned that some comrades in our ranks are not very familiar with the newly assigned Soviet-style weapons and are not very accustomed to the current battlefield situation.

Now is the right time to let the comrades study hard. This work has a bearing on the question of whether or not our troops will be able to fight a tough and beautiful battle when they go to the battlefield again, so we must do a good job."

"Yes!" Listening to Master Pang's 'explanation', I couldn't help but admire him so much.

As soon as I heard that Clark had taken office, the first thing that came to my mind was that there was no need to worry, there were still more than four months to be happy! But what Master Pang thought about was how to prepare for future battles. Although he did not say much, he talked about the shortcomings of our army in every word. If he can do what he says in these months, then the soldiers will not have any negative problems when they go to the battlefield again.

This may be the reason why Master Pang can be a teacher, but I can't!

"Boy!" Immediately afterwards, Master Pang slowed down and said: "Once the superiors order us to enter the DPRK for reinforcements, the first to enter must be your nephew's group, no opinion!" ”

"No comment!" I didn't think about it and replied: "The nephew regiment is the main regiment of our division, if the main regiment doesn't fight first, then who else can fight first!" ”

"Hmm!" Seeing that I was so crisp, Master Pang couldn't help but nod happily.

However, what Master Pang didn't know was that the reason why I was so simple was because I knew that the historical Persuaders had to fight a few turnaround battles until the end of the Korean War, which was still early! So I don't think I need to worry at all.

But what I didn't know was that I turned out to be so wrong about this idea that I regretted why I was so happy to accept it.

After chatting for a while, Master Pang probably felt a little sleepy, so he pulled his coat, 'inserted' his hand into the wide sleeve, leaned on the window next to him and fell asleep.

Looking at the Cangsang on Master Pang's face, I couldn't help but feel emotional. Who said that we are the only ones who stand on the stage and win the cheers and applause of the people? How can a leading cadre like Commander Pang not be a hero? Although they did not directly fight the enemy on the battlefield, they commanded thousands of troops to fight with the enemy. If it weren't for their dedication and wisdom, how could we be on an equal footing with the modern armies of the 16 countries that united the 16 countries on that small battlefield in Korea.

Suddenly, a sense of pride and pride came over me.

Although there are no high-rise buildings in this world, and there are no fragrant cars and fine wines, it can make me feel the power of unity and the dignity of being a Chinese!
