Chapter Eighty-Four: Preparations, Officers and Soldiers' Own Literary Gala

In order to enrich the amateur cultural life of the officers and men of the regiment, the political department of the regiment has drawn up a plan for weekend theatrical performances. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The regiment is required to have a performance every month, and each battalion must perform an evening party for the team.

Last month, there have been three camps of drills, and the effect is very good.

The programs are all popular with the officers and men, and they are close to the lives of the officers and soldiers; The actors, all of whom are officers and soldiers of each company, also provide them with a stage to show themselves.

At the end of this month, it will be the turn of the artillery battalion to perform, what kind of program will be performed?

Yang Wenbin only knew that the instructor led the company commanders and instructors, and they had already held a meeting to make arrangements.

The missile company has a program, which is a collective chorus. The name of the song is "Ode to the Yellow River".

Before determining the chorus conductor, the company commander asked Yang Wenbin if he could conduct?

Yang Wenbin smiled bitterly and waved his hand, I have been conducting a team song for two times, and it is still reluctant to conduct a chorus, if you conduct a chorus, it will be far behind!

Later, the company decided that Deputy Instructor Lu Hua would conduct the song.

"Ode to the Yellow River", this song is an old song during the Anti-Japanese War.

When you sing it, it's very imposing!

Yang Wenbin had heard it before, but he didn't sing this taste of the army.

No, the company used the noon time to go to the canteen to practice together!

With the gesture of Lu Hua instructor. The surging voices of the officers and soldiers of the whole company remembered in the canteen:

"I stand on the top of a mountain,

Looking at the rolling Yellow River,

Run to the southeast.

The waves are surging,

set off a great storm;

turbidity current,

form a nine-song chain;

From the bottom of Kunlun Mountain

Run to the edge of the Yellow Sea;

Put the Central Plains to the earth

Split into north and south sides.

Yes! Yellow River!

You are the cradle of the Chinese nation!

5,000 years of ancient culture,

From you;

How many heroic stories,

Play by your side!

Yes! Yellow River!

You are great and strong,

Like a giant

Appears on the plains of Asia,

Use your heroic physique

Build a barrier for our nation.

Yes! Yellow River!

You poured all over the place,

Mighty

to the north and south shores

Stretch out thousands of iron arms.

The great spirit of our nation,

will be under your nurture

Carry forward and grow!

Heroic sons and daughters of our Fatherland,

will learn from your example,

Great and strong like you!

Great and strong like you!"

The singing is very imposing, and everyone sings very hard.

When everyone was singing the hardest, they heard a sound of footsteps coming from downstairs.

Then, a lieutenant colonel officer, after a closer look, turned out to be Director Niu of the Political Department, accompanied by the instructor, and came to the canteen.

The company commander, just about to report to the whole team, Director Niu waved his hand and said that there was no need.

Instructor Lan introduced the cadres of the missile company to Director Niu, and every time he introduced a person, Director Niu said "um".

"Missile company commander Ji Yurui, political instructor Zhao Yanliang, deputy company commander Gao Qiang, deputy political instructor Lu Hua, technician Bao Junwu, platoon commander Yang Wenbin."

I heard that Niu Decao also served as a platoon commander in a missile company, and later was admitted to the Political Officer Training School.

After returning, he first worked as a company instructor in the infantry company, then as a unit chief in the cadre unit of the political department, and then returned to the artillery battalion and served as a political instructor for several years.

So he is very familiar with the cadres of the artillery battalion and knows the situation of everyone very well.

After several years as an instructor, he went to participate in the training of middle-level command officers, and after returning, he was promoted to chief of the secretarial section of the division's political department, and at the beginning of the year, he returned to the regiment as the director of the political department.

There is also a legend here, I heard that his predecessor, whether it was the instructor of the artillery battalion or the director of the political department, was a person named Meng Baisen, so after the old director changed jobs and Niu Decao came to serve as the director, someone made up a smooth saying, "Niu Decao once again took Meng Baisen." ”

Now, seeing the cow and the grass, it seems that there is nothing special about him up close.

Director Niu, he looks weak when he speaks. However, criticizing people is unusually harsh.

The cadres in the regiment hid far away when they saw him. For fear that if it doesn't look pleasing to the eye, he will criticize him.

Because, he is the head of the political department. It determines the progress and retreat of most people. Therefore, no one wants to offend him, nor does he want to offend him......

In a flash, the weekend arrived.

The "Artillery Battalion Welcome July 1st Gala" started as scheduled.

On the team's north playground, the officers and men of the whole regiment gathered to watch the performance.

On both sides of the temporary stage at the edge of the north playground, two pillars were erected, and a banner was pulled in the middle of the "Artillery Battalion Welcome July 1st Literary and Art Gala"

Because the stage is simple, it is to use the platform in front of the organ building that is higher than the plane of the playground as the stage.

Then, I rented a few speakers, a few microphones, and that's it.

The party found two hosts, one was the platoon commander of the anti-aircraft artillery company, named Sun Zhijun, and the other was his family, a teacher from a secondary school, who came to guest host.

With the host announcing the aftermath of the "Artillery Battalion Welcome July 1st Party", the chorus of the howitzer company that first came to the stage to perform, the group song "Hero Team, Invincible".

The company commander of the howitzer company commanded in front, the instructor recited beside him, and all the soldiers in the ranks, singing impassionedly with the rhythm of the command. Then, accompanied by flowers from time to time, head swinging, banner and other action trick puzzles.

The second program is the three-and-a-half-sentence "Praise Our Red Army" by the Second Howitzer Company.

The tools used, such as gongs, drums, cymbals, etc., and even the outer belts of the troops, were used, and the sound of the belt buckle colliding was used as the rhythm, which was very soldier-like.

I don't know who made up the words? It becomes very charming, very appropriate. From the old-timers of the Red Army, to the current members of the Standing Committee of the Red Army, to every officer and soldier of the Red Army who contributed to the Red Army. All were praised. The program received a round of applause.

The third program is the modern dance of the three companies of howitzers. The three warriors, to the sound of uplifting music and a strip of red cloth tied above their heads, jumped wildly.

And the rhythmic music also mobilized the atmosphere of the scene. The audience in the audience couldn't wait to jump on the stage and dance with the three of them. In particular, the fighter who led the dance was very skillful, exaggerated, and infectious. The two accompanying fighters, with the lead dancers, twisted their waists, swung their arms, shook their heads, and kicked their thighs frantically.

The chorus of the missile company, "Ode to the Yellow River", was placed in the fourth program.

Deputy Instructor Lu Hua, dressed in neat regular clothes, began to command.

Everyone followed his rhythm and performed "Ode to the Yellow River" to the fullest. The audience was brought into the galloping, surging Yellow River, and the galloping scene.

With the continuation of the song, everyone experienced the feelings of the children of the Yellow River. The tenacious and unyielding spirit of struggle embodied in it.

Yang Wenbin feels that this ode to the Yellow River fully demonstrates the indomitable spirit of struggle of the Chinese people.

In the queue, he followed the command gesture of Deputy Political Instructor Lu Hua and devoted himself to the performance.

The next program is the cross talk of the anti-aircraft artillery company.

The next program is the poetry recitation of the battalion headquarters.

The most lively program is the sketch "Two or Three Things of Defeating the Superior with the Inferior" of the Third Howitzer Company of the Howitzer Company, which vividly interprets the small story of the commander and instructor of the third company of the artillery battalion, leading the officers and men of the whole company to win the war and win the war.

On the whole, the artillery battalion's evening party was a complete success and won warm applause from the audience.
