0346 I want to return the watch to my son

The long-awaited moment of reunion has finally arrived.

But when she rushed out the door and saw the situation in the courtyard, she was stunned.

The old man returned, listless, bent over, as if his whole body was half short.

There were also military political commissars and division political commissars who came over, and there was another person, the commander of her son's regiment, surnamed Li, whom she had seen.

Division Commander Zhang Zhixin couldn't say a word, and the moment he stepped into the house after finishing the affairs of the army, his whole person collapsed.

"Old sister-in-law."

"Big sister."

Listening to this desolate cry again, look at it again, there is clearly no son among the people who came.

At this moment, this military sister-in-law, this mother, has already thought of it.

The clouds were shrouded, and the mother was clearly trembling in her body.

She pounced on him, anxiously grabbed the old man's arm and shouted, "Where is my son? Where's my son?"

This commander Zhang, who commanded all armies and was iron-clad, did not dare to look at his wife, and lowered his head, like a child who had done something wrong.

As everyone knows, at this moment, his heart is not better than his wife.

He took his son to the battlefield, and the most dangerous mission was also arranged by him through the back door.

The mission was completed, but the son did not return.

The mother cried out more and more miserably, and finally sat down on the ground weakly, and kept saying in her mouth: "I want my son!" I want my son!"

"Give back my son! You return my son! ”

"What about my son? Why didn't he come back. ”

This is a mother's obsession.

"Old sister-in-law, you are stronger, stronger."

"Old sister-in-law, Xiaoli is your good boy and a good soldier of the party...... He was brave, and he died honorably. ”

The political commissars at the two levels of military and division are also over half a hundred years old, and they all watched the tension grow.

The children in such a compound were sacrificed, and as elders, as chiefs, they were also very sad in their hearts.

Military personnel are not good at expressing ......

The sky is spinning, the earth is spinning, everything is blurry, everything is shaking.

The old mother could not believe that her beloved son had left her and gone forever.

Wang Liang said: "Five years later, Zhang Zhixin, who has been working the front line for 39 years, accepted the organizational arrangement and retired to the second line. ”

"Because of a series of diseases such as high blood pressure, considering the physical problems of Senior Commander Zhang, for a long time, the general, who lost his son in old age, has not had the opportunity to visit his son in the martyr's cemetery in Gui Province."

Wang Liang tried not to add any emotional color in the process of narrating: "Until the spring of two thousand and nine, Zhang Zhixin's pericardial effusion, high blood pressure and other old diseases attacked together, and his body collapsed all of a sudden......"

Maybe Master Zhang felt that if he didn't go to see his son again, he wouldn't have a chance.

One day, Master Zhang, who was lying on the hospital bed, said to his wife: "I dreamed of my son again, I want to go to the martyrs' cemetery in Jingxi to see him!" ”

How could the wife not want her son, but considering her husband's health, she couldn't help but persuade: "Old man, we have been here for so many years. Now that you're too sick and your body can't stand the toss, let's not go, okay? ”

Master Zhang Zhixin shook his head: "Yesterday I dreamed of our son again, and my son complained about me, saying that he had left his watch before the war, and now, I want to return it to him personally." ”

Speaking of this, Wang Liang couldn't help but introduce the origin of this watch.

Speaking of which, I still have some relationship with this watch.

Wang Liang said: "In 1965, the watch factory in Shanghai Province successfully assembled the first prototype of a self-winding watch in China, with a movement model SS2C and 29 jewel bearings......"

The model with the SS2 manual mechanism is Ref.641.

At that time, the spending power of the masses in the country was very low, so the plan to launch Ref.641 on a large scale on the market was put on hold.

But at this time, in order to ensure military supplies, a small number of Ref.641 had been marked with military insignia and became military watches.

Later, the Second Department of the General Staff of the People's Liberation Army came to the Shanghai Provincial Watch Factory to request cooperation in the production of watches for military use, requiring calendars, automatic, and waterproof.

So the watch factory in Shanghai Province came up with two automatic movements for production, the movement model is SS2C (29 diamonds) and SS4C (24 diamonds).

According to the number of ruby bearings used inside the movement, they are named Shanghai 29 Diamond Military Watch and Shanghai 24 Diamond Military Watch.

Wang Liang continued: "These two military watches are products of the same period, similar in appearance, and have the same principle of automatic winding, but the basic structure of the two movements is very different. ”

"The 29-diamond SS2C movement has more escapement wheel shock absorbers and one more wheel train than the 24-diamond SS4C movement, so relatively speaking, the shock resistance effect is better, the movement structure is more complex, and the natural cost is also higher."

"Therefore, at that time, the 29-diamond military watch was distributed to cadres above the division level, and the 24-diamond military watch was distributed to cadres above the regiment level."

"Zhang Li, this kid has always liked his father's 29-diamond watch, but how could Master Zhang Zhixin, who has always been strict with public and private affairs, give the watch to his son, even if the watch belongs to him."

"Later, I gave the watch that was given to me by the General Staff to this nephew of mine......"

At this point, everything is self-evident.

Later, when he joined the war, Zhang Zhixin felt that his son was too ostentatious to bring this 29-diamond watch to the battlefield, so he asked to keep it on his behalf.

Who knows, this has become a regret for his life.

Later, Zhang Zhixin always carried the watch with him, as if his son was by his side.

Now, with his health deteriorating, the father feels that he should return the watch to his son in his lifetime.

Looking at the obsessive wife, the wife finally agreed.

Wang Liang said: "After some preparation, the old couple supported each other on the road. ”

"They walked and stopped, and it took nearly 12 days to finally come to the Jingxi Martyrs Cemetery in Gui Province before the Qingming Festival."

Zhang Zhixin said to the tombstone: "Son, the most successful thing Dad has done in his life is to transfer you to the front line; The most painful thing is to transfer you to the front. ”

"Dad is glad that at that critical time, your mother didn't hide from me and your uncle to make small moves behind my back, and Dad is glad to have a good son like you and didn't disgrace the party and the country."

"Son, you are one of the thousands of soldiers who have fallen next to Dad, and Dad is proud of you!"

"Dad, in the name of a veteran, salutes you and all the comrades who sacrificed their lives for the country!"

As he spoke, he stood up with difficulty and gave his son a military salute!

In the end, Division Commander Zhang Zhixin put the 29-diamond military watch next to his son.

"Four years later, Master Zhang Zhixin died of illness in the port city of Lu Province." Wang Liang finished speaking.
