The old saying 'thinking of relatives every festive season' is also very suitable for these border guards stationed at the border in front of them. Compared with those veterans, www.biquge.info soldiers who are really homesick are more recruits who have just joined the army.

It's just that this year's Spring Festival, because of the arrival of He Zhengdao, the commander, many recruits are very excited. Coupled with the sumptuous Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, it also diluted the homesickness in the hearts of many recruits.

For these recruits, they know from the day they enlist, after they join the army. If they want to go home to visit their families, they will have to wait at least two years after they have served their military service. Before the time came, they all had to stay in the army.

Although they belong to the garrison, compared to the other garrisons, which are mostly stationed in the city, they stay away from those prosperous places and come to such desolate places to guard the country, except for training and patrolling every day.

Sometimes, many recruits who have just been assigned here will feel very uncomfortable with the living environment here. The reason is that many times they patrol all day, and maybe no one can see anyone. It's a little too deserted!

Fortunately, although the conditions of the border troops were difficult, their supplies and treatment were more favorable than those of the garrison troops stationed in the city. In today's chaotic year, it is really rare to have a place to eat and wear warm clothes.

Most importantly, many young recruits who have joined the army know it. As they enlist in the military, their loved ones will also receive help from the local government. This kind of assistance is also of great help to improve their family situation.

In short, He Zhengdao personally visited the company to spend the Spring Festival with them, which really touched the officers and men of the border defense company. What pleased the officers and men the most was that He Zhengdao affirmed their contributions, believing that they were doing something very meaningful.

Even after a brief word of blessing, He Zhengdao said with a smile: "Today is a rare opportunity to celebrate the Spring Festival with comrades, and as a commander, I have also prepared some New Year's gifts for comrades.

You should have this gift in normal times, but you can drink a little more tonight. Standing guard at night will be the responsibility of me and the cadres of your company. You have only one task tonight, and that is to eat and drink well! ”

After saying this, He Zhengdao motioned to the special combat team members around him to distribute a large amount of spirits purchased from Wuyuan to each table. Although it is only a horse bag, it is also a rare luxury for the officers and soldiers.

Winters in the north are undoubtedly very cold, and drinking spirits to keep out the cold is also something that many people like to do. It's just that for the troops, because of the implementation of combat readiness, such a thing as alcohol is naturally strictly controlled.

However, tonight, He Zhengdao personally distributed wine to the officers and soldiers, which really surprised many soldiers. With wine and meat, such a sumptuous Chinese New Year's Eve dinner will only make the officers and men who are fortunate enough to be here today remember it for a lifetime.

'A bag of wine per table, and the squad leader is responsible for distributing it. If you have a good amount of alcohol, you can drink more, and if you have a light amount of alcohol, you can drink less. I'm not going to ban your alcohol tonight, but I still don't want to see anyone drunk, you know? ’

'Yes, thank you, Commander! ’

The thunderous cheers made the canteen of the border defense company have a festive atmosphere. In such an atmosphere, with He Zhengdao's order to 'eat', the entire canteen was also very lively and festive.

Those who ate with He Zhengdao were undoubtedly cadres of the border defense company and cadres of the guard troops. But when drinking, He Zhengdao also tasted it. The reason is naturally that he also arranged for himself to stand guard at night.

Since you have to carry out the task of standing guard and vigilance, you naturally can't drink too much alcohol. Seeing that He Zhengdao was like this, the other officers were embarrassed to drink more even if they wanted to drink a few more glasses. After all, they have to stand guard at night.

After eating the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, He Zhengdao asked Chen Quan to organize a small party for the officers and men to liven up. As for himself, he returned to the residence arranged for him by Chen Quan and began to send congratulatory telegrams to Yan'an and the headquarters.

What He Zhengdao didn't expect was that Chen Siya, who returned to Yan'an to accompany her parents for the New Year this year, was invited by Taizu to his house to celebrate the Spring Festival together. This kind of treatment is only afraid that the whole army is also unique.

Receiving the telegram from He Zhengdao, Taizu also smiled and said, "Xiaoya, this is a telegram from that kid. It seems that he still knows that there is a wife in the family who is looking forward to his news! Do you want to reply to him? ”

'No, Chairman! He is the commander and is responsible to the officers and men of the whole army. As long as he's safe outside, I'm relieved. Just let him remember to take care of himself, I don't have to worry about him. ’

As He Zhengdao's wife, Chen Siya can already understand He Zhengdao's desire to give up accompanying her for the New Year at this time, but he resolutely wants to go to the grassroots level to celebrate the New Year. This is the best way for a commander to close the distance between the soldiers.

Perhaps it is He Zhengdao's character of thinking about the officers and soldiers that can make him have such a high prestige in the army. It can be said that in the former independent column and now in the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Army, He Zhengdao is the object of admiration of officers and soldiers.

If it is because of the promotion of rank, they will gradually ignore their attitude towards the officers and men at the grassroots level, and I believe that in the near future, He Zhengdao will also become a big figure in the hearts of officers and men, who cannot climb high above the top.

Maybe He Zhengdao needs this kind of awe, but He Zhengdao also knows that only by mingling with the officers and soldiers can the officers and soldiers serve and respect, can they truly serve with peace of mind, and can they truly integrate into the growing Eighth Route Army.

In fact, when he learned that He Zhengdao did not go home during the Spring Festival, he still went to the most remote grassroots troops to accompany the soldiers of the troops below to celebrate the New Year, Taizu and Mr. Zhu and others were actually very relieved and even a little admired.

After all, it is indeed rare that He Zhengdao, who is so young, will not forget his original intention because he is in a high position. Only with the support of the grassroots troops can He Zhengdao's position in the army be as stable as a rock.

Listening to what Chen Siya said, Taizu was also very relieved: "Xiaoya, you are indeed very good, as the wife of a soldier, you really need a heart that can be tolerant." This kid is not bad, but he has wronged you a little. ”

'Chairman, I'm as good as you say! I just felt that I should support his work. ’

If it's very simple, there are not many people who can do it. Especially for young people like Chen Siya, it is rare to have such an idea. But no matter what, Taizu is still very pleased that He Zhengdao and Chen Siya understand and tolerate each other.

Anyway, this pair of red threads is his lead, and he naturally hopes that the married life of the two can be fulfilled. If the two of them really can't get along, I'm afraid that Taizu will also think that he has done something bad with good intentions!

After receiving the telegram from Taizu and Mr. Zhu and others, He Zhengdao also knew that if he wanted to return to Yan'an, he was afraid that he would have to wait for a while. Next, he will continue to inspect Baotou and Ulanqab along the way.

Finally, they arrived in the Ulanqab area and began to prepare for the northeast. The first vanguard force has been actively preparing since the formation of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Army. He hoped that the vanguard would pass sooner.

In addition, another secret force sent by He Zhengdao also infiltrated the Northeast a year ago. Their task is to get in touch with the Northeast Anti-Japanese Federation, which is in a difficult situation at the moment.

After all, in the future, when the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Army enters the Northeast to fight, He Zhengdao still hopes to solve the crisis of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Alliance. If the fate of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Federation can be changed, I believe that it will save a lot of time to recover the Northeast.

When the matter was dealt with and he returned to the cleaned up canteen, He Zhengdao, who was organizing a party for everyone, listened to the cheers that sounded in the canteen from time to time, and also felt that this New Year's atmosphere was quite good.

Just seeing He Zhengdao coming in, Chen Quan suddenly said: "Comrades, it's rare for the commander to come to our border defense company, do you want the commander to perform a show!" You know, our commander can be literate, martial and sing! ”

'Good! Commander, come one! Commander, come one! ’

Perhaps it was during the previous dinner in the canteen, He Zhengdao gave the officers and soldiers a somewhat approachable feeling. Many brave warriors, hearing Chen Quan's words, naturally began to echo and let He Zhengdao perform the show!

Looking at the warm invitation of the soldiers, He Zhengdao also scolded with a smile: "Chen Quan, it seems that you kid still wants me to make a fool of myself!" However, it's rare to have the opportunity to gather with my comrades for the Spring Festival today, so I'll sing a song! ”

Hearing that He Zhengdao was going to sing, everyone naturally applauded warmly. After the applause subsided, He Zhengdao continued: "It is very hard to be a soldier of the Eighth Route Army, but it is even harder to be a border soldier of the Eighth Route Army.

It's just that no matter how fortunate you are, some things have to be done. If we don't garrison the country here, the people behind us may not be able to live a stable life, and we will not be able to afford the title of people's soldiers.

The division of duties is different, and the troops defending the city must ensure the stability and security of our democratic governments. Front-line combat units must crack down on the Japanese invaders, drive them out of the country as soon as possible, and let our people enjoy a peaceful life as soon as possible.

So as border guards, our responsibilities and missions are even more important. We must be like the poplar trees next to the outpost, standing on the ground and standing tall and holding back so that no one can infringe on our territory even a step.

In the following song, I will sing a little poplar to you in the name of the little poplar next to the outpost. I hope that in the future, comrades will be the same as these little poplars, no matter where they go, they will be able to take root and protect our country! ”

As a traverser, He Zhengdaohui naturally has a lot of military songs. It can be said that in the literary and artistic propaganda brigade organized by the Political Department of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Army, many songs are provided by He Zhengdao.

At least in the eyes of many people, He Zhengdao is indeed a versatile and capable person. And tonight, the border guards of Ganqimao Road are also fortunate to listen to He Zhengdao's singing for the first time, and they are proud of being a border soldier for the first time.

Although He Zhengdao is not a professional singer, this song "Little Poplar" still touched many homesick soldiers. But what He Zhengdao didn't expect was that after this song was sung, many border guards also fell in love with poplar trees.

Even in the future, when the border guards planted trees, the poplar tree became the favorite tree of the border guards. Even in the future, the poplars will also thrive with the continuous migration of the border guards, and become the most cordial 'comrades-in-arms' of countless border guards! (To be continued.) )
