0345 The early death of a painful youth has brought tears to my eyes

The confidential staff officer did not dare to delay, and hurriedly translated this urgent encrypted telegram.

When the contents of the telegram were translated and understood, five thunderbolts could not help but thunder.

The telegram was very concisely written, one sentence, two lines.

[Zhang Li, the son of Division Commander Zhang, died heroically at 11:45 a.m. today in the reconnaissance battle on the 267 heights in the jungle on the west side]

The veteran said: "Because I have been with Division Commander Zhang for the longest time, as a security staff officer, I have always been responsible for the chief's food, clothing and daily life, so the confidential staff officer immediately forwarded the telegram to me, and then I reported to the political commissar. ”

The political commissar was sad for a while after seeing the telegram before he spoke: "Zhang Li, this child was grown up under my watch, he was obedient and cute since he was a child, he was very smart in reading, and he was strict with himself everywhere after becoming a soldier, and he was the meat of his parents' hearts!"

Then the political commissar summoned all the people from the division headquarters and ordered: "The division commander is over half a hundred years old, and he has many diseases and war wounds. The most important thing is that the battle in depth has been in full swing, and it cannot be without the command of the division commander, in case his mood changes and goes into chaos, the consequences will be unimaginable. Now I announce a discipline, whoever leaks this news to Division Commander Zhang will be punished by military law!"

For the staff officers of the 160th Division of the 54th Army, Zhang Li is their old friend and a good brother.

Once, they teamed up and won a good ranking in the basketball game of the whole army, and the relationship between them has long been cultivated.

Now that the bad news of his brother's sacrifice suddenly came, how could it be like no one.

In order not to show their stuffing, everyone endured it and deliberately avoided the division commander.

Division Commander Zhang Zhixin is a veteran of a hundred battles, and he can naturally detect that the atmosphere is wrong.

He had a hunch that something big must have happened at the front.

Everyone was hiding from him, and Zhang Zhixin, the division commander, couldn't ask for a reason, and was furious: "I am the commander of a division, and more than 10,000 lives are in my hands, no matter what happens, tell me." Tell me!"

The veteran said: "The political commissar saw that he couldn't hide the matter, so he called me to go to Chief Wang Liang, who was in front of the military headquarters of the 54th Army at that time. Because Chief Wang Liang and the division commander are old brothers, only he can comfort the division commander. ”

Wang Liang listened and had already confirmed the identity of this veteran.

He was impressed by this guard staff officer.

Wang Liang hurried over, the three of them walked to the hillside, and the political commissar truthfully told the bad news of Zhang Li's sacrifice.

Master Zhang Zhixin, who has been fighting all his life and fighting all his life, shook his body suddenly, and it took three minutes for Master Zhang to recover from the great pain.

Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom

The artillery roared throughout the theater, the smoke of gunpowder billowed out, and the sound of killing shook the sky.

The remains of the wounded and martyrs were constantly being carried down from the front.

Zhang Zhixin tried his best to control his sad emotions and said: "This is a battlefield, a battlefield of blood and fire, the party and the people have entrusted me with so many outstanding sons and daughters and so many precious lives Zhang Zhixin, I am responsible for their lives, for their parents, and for this war." ”

At that time, Wang Liang stood aside, wanting to comfort him, but he couldn't say a word.

How painful is losing a child in middle age?

How is it possible to soothe with words.

Master Zhang wiped his tears, was silent for a long time, and said, "Lao Wang, what I'm most worried about is my wife." She loved children all her life, and as soon as the Korean War ended, she began to work as a preschool teacher to take care of her children, and now she suddenly lost her only son, I don't know what it will be sad to become, and I don't know how sad she will be in her later years. ”

Back in 2018, Wang Liang faced the camera.

Wang Liang said: "Since the troops went to the front line, Zhang Zhixin's wife has not slept soundly all night. ”

"How she wished to be like other mothers, to go to the mailroom and look through the letters of whether there was a son; How she wanted to be like other military wives, tiptoeing on the sand hill of the barracks to look forward to her husband. But she didn't. ”

Because she understands that her husband is the soul of the whole division, and as the wife of the division commander, any action at this critical time will affect the emotions of the family members. So she always smiled and comforted the family members who were restless with her broad mind and gentle words. ”

"And in fact, she is no less worried, worried, and worried than others."

Wang Liang continued: "Two months later, on April 28, 1979, the combat mission of the 160th Division was completed and it was withdrawn to the rear for repair. I came back with Master Zhang Zhixin......"

Knock knock, knock knock, knock knock

Knock knock

Crackle - Crackle - Crackle - Crackle -

The day of the triumph of the 160 Division, the station.

In the crisp and pleasant sound of gongs, drums and firecrackers.

The train came to a slow stop.

One by one, the military families looked anxiously to see their husbands or sons.

Zhang Zhixin's wife is no exception, she knows that her husband will definitely have to work for a long time after he returns, and there are many things to deal with, and I am afraid that he will not be able to get home until late.

As the wife of the division commander, she should not let her husband be separated at this time.

She squeezed out the welcoming crowd and went home.

Washing rice, killing chickens, washing vegetables, and preparing wine.

I was busy making a table of wine and food for the two of them.

Despite her busyness, she had a smile on her face.

Because of this wife, this mother, I thought of a lot.

My wife should retire when she comes back this time, and Rong Ma will last a lifetime, and she can finally enjoy her old age in peace.

My son is twenty-two years old this year, the eldest is not small, and it is time to have a partner, and I want to hold my grandson as soon as possible.

Lili, the daughter of Director Li's family of the Political Department, was born quietly and quietly, and she looks very peugeot, which is very attractive.

As early as before joining the war, Director Li mentioned this matter, and the old man said that the child was still young and did not agree.

When I come back this time, I want to introduce Lili to my son no matter what.

Even if the old man is against it, it will not work.

Thinking of this, this military wife became more and more energetic in her work.

Soon, the fragrant rice was cooked.

Braised pork, stir-fried chicken, stir-fried celery, stir-fried beans, stir-fried shredded potatoes, sweet and sour fish...... There are also deep-fried peanuts that my wife and son love.

A table of meals was ready, and it was already past eight o'clock in the evening.

She figured that the old man was done, and it was almost time to return with her son.

Knock Knock Knock Knock Knock Knock Knock

The clock on the wall rang, it was nine o'clock.

The tired and asleep military wife saw that the food was cold, so she hurriedly brought it to the kitchen to heat it up.

The meal was hot and hot, and she wanted to call her husband, but after thinking about it, she thought it was over.

It's definitely busy.

Finally, it was close to ten o'clock.

There was a familiar sound of footsteps in the yard, too familiar, it was my own old man, yes!

The military wife and the mother rushed out excitedly......
