shed ravines, control mountains and afforestation, dig deep wells, pull wires...... With so many big projects, Zhu Yanfu couldn't believe that he and his fellow villagers had done it by himself and his fellow villagers many times in his midnight dreams.

But this is indeed what he and the villagers in this Zhangjia Village punched and kicked.

The old and young masters in the village often asked about Zhu Yanfu's battle back then, and Zhu Yanfu always said very simply. A platoon of more than 30 people went up, and there were 16 people left on the first day. Eight on the second day, and only he was left on the third day.

He survived, which was a miracle in the eyes of many doctors at the time. Both hands and feet were amputated, and dozens of heavy injuries were inflicted all over his body. For ninety-three days, he wrestled with death.

Tu Mengben, then commander-in-chief of the Wehrmacht, personally ordered the rescue at all costs. Finally, under forty-seven surgeries, the man struggled back on the line of life and death.

But when he returned, he lost his limbs. One left eye is gone, and the only visible right eye has a reduced visual acuity to 0.3. Countless new and old injuries on his body made him feel painful.

Even several times, he thought about death. He couldn't accept himself like this, he couldn't accept that he had become the way he was when he was once a warrior galloping and roaring on the battlefield.

"Old squad leader, can you tell me why you left the rest house?!" After everyone sat down, Tu Mengben said to Zhu Yanfu: "You also threatened them not to tell me, saying that who told me that you were in a hurry!" If you're in a hurry, you're going to die to show him, aren't you?! ”

Zhu Yanfu immediately smiled embarrassedly when he heard this, he said so at the time. He said this to the director of the sanatorium, and he said the same to the commander of the army who came to visit him.

"I, Zhu Yanfu, am a man! Our We-in-Defense Army's men who are built of steel and iron, are they going to bring these things down?! Zhu Yanfu still remembered what he yelled at the commander at that time, and he obviously still remembered the commander's expression.

At that time, the military commander who had rushed into the army position with himself countless times, killing him covered in blood but not frowning, looked so aggrieved, and looked so distressed when he looked at his eyes.

"My hands are gone, and my feet are gone. I'm a special disability, but I'm not a special citizen! Zhu Yanfu was red-eyed and yelled at his commander.

"I am a soldier of the Wehrmacht! One day, one life! The hands and feet are gone, so what?! I will make a difference, and I will proudly tell everyone! I, Zhu Yanfu, have lived up to the name of the Wehrmacht soldier! ”

The commander compromised, and he personally went to the convalescent director to talk about the matter. Subsequently, the dean was asked to coordinate and ensure that the matter would not be reported.

And he himself personally took Zhu Yanfu back to his hometown. At Zhu Yanfu's strong request, the commander did not wear his own military uniform, but a military uniform without epaulettes.

"I don't do anything special, I do something special, that's a special citizen. I am just a warrior, and there is nothing special about a warrior. Zhu Yanfu said to his old army commander: "The army commander...... I, Zhu Yanfu, am already disabled, but don't let my heart be disabled......"

Zhu Yanfu's words made his army commander burst into tears.

Seeing the poverty in the mountain village, the commander's first reaction was to take Zhu Yanfu away - this place is too poor. At that time, Zhangjia Village was only a population of more than 200 people, and it was full of barren mountains and mountains.

In the outside world, it has undergone several reforms, and the people in most areas have lived a different life, but today this village is no different from a few lifetimes ago.

Poor, messy, dirty, illiterate. That's what Zhangjiacun is all about.

Several cadres came, and several cadres left. But this is still the case in the village, and there is no development. Even the district has given up on this village.

"I'm here to stay!" Zhu Yanfu said word by word to his army commander: "If there is a difficulty, what about it?!" What is not difficult to do?! When you encounter difficulties, you either have to knock him down or knock him down! ”

Zhu Yanfu still remembers his expression at that time, when he smiled like a child.

"We are We're We're Wehrmacht soldiers, and we've never had the enemy fall before us. How can you fall in front of the enemy?! ”

Zhu Yanfu stayed. But he was not trusted at first, and there were several able-bodied men in this village who couldn't make any achievements, what can you do with a person who has no hands and feet?!

"Hey! Don't ask, Commander. Don't you know that?! Zhu Yanfu smiled at Tu Mengben and said, "Which of our people from the National Defense Force is not stubborn?!" How many soldiers can there be in the Invalides?! ”

Zhu Yanfu's words silenced Tu Mengben. The Invalides was first proposed by him in order to house soldiers who sacrificed for the sake of the country and the nation, resulting in the inability to take care of themselves after being disabled.

But his original intention was not thoroughly implemented, and the number of soldiers in the Invalides was always limited. Most people choose to be self-reliant. Rather than lying on the merit book in the Invalides for the rest of their lives, they would rather stand up and make a career on their own.

There are many such people, and after leaving the Invalides, they either return to their hometowns. Or start a business in a certain city, a certain region.

In the Invalides, there are few soldiers who can stay for three years. Rather than being idle, these fighters crave a challenge. Challenge the fate that took their hands and feet.

This stubbornness, this refusal to admit defeat stems from everything they received in the Wehrmacht. All this not only taught them how to fight enemies with knives and guns, but also taught them how to fight those invisible enemies.

"From walking, to picking up a hoe and pen and paper. How long did it take you......" Looking at Zhu Yanfu's wound full of scars, Tu Mengben's heart couldn't help twitching.

"It's not troublesome to walk, it's troublesome to get off the ground!" Zhu Yanfu still looked like he was smiling, and said to Tu Mengben: "The villagers can't bear to let me be affected, so they always tell me to wait for them to report at home." ”

"Can you just squat at home and point fingers? I don't deserve to be this kind of scumbag village chief! Zhu Yanfu's words are still so hard. With a Wehrmacht soldier, the characteristic stubbornness and unquestionable.

"The village chief should be in the field, and he should work and talk with the villagers. It's not about listening to the report at home and giving instructions. That's not called the village chief, that's called the head! ”

Tu Mengben laughed, he listened to this very well. It has always been the work of the Wehrmacht that generals must know the thoughts and thoughts of the soldiers under their command.

Inspecting the work of the troops is not just a matter of watching two exercises and listening to a few reports. Train with the fighters, eat with them, cheer for home, and ask about the situation.

This is the only way to get a real sense of your troops. Zhu Yanfu brought this practice to the work in the countryside, and the results he achieved were also remarkable.

"The folks aren't stupid, and they're not stupid. Just tell him it's good for him. Explain to him why it's good for him, and he'll listen to you. If you lie to him, then you think he will be able to trust you in the future! ”

Zhu Yanfu sat on the chair with such a big sword, and talked to Tu Mengben without being arrogant or humble. He always did, and so did the rest of the Wehrmacht.

Be respectful to the Commander-in-Chief, not just do some bullshit on the surface. Instead, he honestly did his job and told the truth to the commander-in-chief. That's the greatest respect.

"Hmm! That's the truth, old squad leader, tell me how you did it?! Tu Mengben was very interested in this matter, and turned to the crow accompanying him.

"Record what the old squad leader said, and the situation of the old squad leader taking Zhangjiacun to get rich is a typical one. We need to figure out the know-how and spread it to all levels of the United Axe. ”

Zhu Yanfu couldn't help but hurriedly waved his hand when he heard this: "Hey! I just did something for the villagers, what a big deal?! What else is typical propaganda to do?! When the commander-in-chief asked me to talk about experience, I would talk about it. Whether it is useful or not, the commander-in-chief just looks at it. ”

Tu Mengben smiled and handed Zhu Yanfu a cigarette, and Zhu Yanfu took it unceremoniously. And Tu Mengben smiled and lit the fire for the old soldier.

"I started by teaching the villagers to read. I have done this in the past, but on the one hand, they don't have too many books, and on the other hand, they don't teach well. So I didn't get any effect......"

When Zhu Yanfu said this, he smiled slyly: "I also made some benefits with our troops at that time, and collected a lot of old books of our national defense force from the troops. I took these books and made my first batch of textbooks......"

Tu Mengben smiled and gave Zhu Yanfu a thumbs up, he knew this. And what he knows more is that in order to make the villagers believe that he is dedicated to working hard for Zhangjia Village, he has never been unhindered over the years.

Dragging more than ten pounds of prosthetic limbs, he walked through the rain and snow to teach the villagers. During the day, the big guys have to do farm work, and at night they have time to study.

And this night was the most fatal for Zhu Yanfu. He couldn't see the road at all when it was dark, and his prosthetic leg made his nose and face swollen when he fell in the mud and ravine.

But even so, he never gave up on it. Even if his old injury recurred, even if he had a fever, he never stopped class.

The townsfolk believed him, and on one occasion he fainted in class. The villagers of the entire Zhangjia Village carried this man who was bent on imparting some knowledge to him to the county hospital with their shoulders and crying.

After that, Zhu Yanfu naturally became the village chief of Zhangjia Village. Now that he has become the village head, the stubborn Zhu Yanfu thinks that he must do something for the villagers. At the very least, be worthy of the uniform you're wearing. Be worthy of these folks who trust you.

The villagers love themselves and can't bear to let themselves go to the fields to see the situation. And he went by night, and there was no one to walk with him. The prosthesis is more than ten pounds, and when I have no strength to walk, I take it off and kneel to walk.

If you can't walk on your knees, you can't walk, so you crawl. If it doesn't work, then get out!

I don't know how many nights it took, Zhu Yanfu walked through every hill and every ravine in the entire Zhangjia Village. Each of the seven squads of the village collective has left his footprints.

"If the folks want to believe you, you have to take the lead! Take the lead in everything. What does the village chief do?! It's to take the villagers to work, and the villagers are doing the work, and you are resting at home?! That village chief who is a fart! ”

Zhu Yanfu's words folder opened, and he immediately talked about his experience. A sentence "If you don't do it, the ditch will be barren year after year; All together, it is the grain hoard in our village. Speaking of difficulties, I'm not afraid of being a cripple, what are you afraid of? ", so that the old and young masters of the entire Zhangjia Village were relieved.

And this spirit supported them to move more than 20,000 earthworks and stones, build more than 1,500 meters long culverts, and the "cattle driving ditch" that has been barren for generations, so that Zhu Yanfu and his fellow villagers have turned it into a flat cultivated land.

At that time, Zhangjia Village received more than 50,000 catties of grain. And this has never happened in the history of Zhangjia Village.

"I still remember what the commander-in-chief told us, troops! It relies on a spirit spirit, and this spirit is even if the troops are scattered, even if the troops are destroyed. He can rebuild! ”

"We, the warriors, are still supporting this spirit in the bloody battle with those miscellaneous people. Our platoon, more than 30 people, fought to block the attack, and I was the only one left. No one withdraws it, it's this spirit that holds it up! ”

When Zhu Yanfu talked about his comrades-in-arms, his eyes suddenly turned red: "We can't retreat, if we take a step back, we will be the villagers behind us!" Take a step back, do we still deserve to wear this uniform?! ”

After saying this, the crows and mountain dogs on the side suddenly turned red. Several people silently gave a military salute to the old squad leader, showing him their highest respect as a soldier.

"Salute!!" The uniform movements of several people made Zhu Yanfu even more excited. Without saying a word, he stood up, pulled his patched uniform, and slowly returned the salute to the four soldiers.

After a burst of excitement, Zhu Yanfu smiled embarrassedly at Tu Mengben and continued his topic.

"I didn't take a step back on the battlefield, did I go back when I came back?! That's not me Zhu Yanfu! As he spoke, Zhu Yanfu's eyes were a little confused.

"I still remember when the commander-in-chief took us to fight the flood, and the flood peak of the upper peak was about to come down. The embankment is full of pipes, and the commander-in-chief said: Behind you, you are all villagers! Even if we die on the embankment, we can't let the flood plague our folks! ”

"We, the soldiers of the Wehrmacht, the enemy is not just a man, not just an old man. Our enemies are all enemies, including all the people who try to harm this country and this nation! ”

"It doesn't matter if he's a man, it's a flood, it's a drought or a snowstorm! All we have to do as soldiers is to go to the front. With my body, with our lives, to stop it all! ”

Zhu Yanfu said, his eyes couldn't help but redden: "I always remember these words. And now, in front of me and my fellow villagers, it is poverty! I just can't get enough to eat! ”

"What should I do as a soldier?! I should take the villagers to eat well, and I should take the villagers to live a good life! This is me, Zhu Yanfu! As a member of the Wehrmacht, it is an unshirkable responsibility! ”

Yes, that's what Zhu Yanfu said, and that's what he did. When the ravine was leveled, Zhu Yanfu was not satisfied. This village in a ravine has not had a water well for several lifetimes.

The whole village, men, women and children, were fetched water from a creek miles away. Many times, when I go late, I can only scoop some mud soup and go home.

Water is needed to grow crops, and water is even more important to live. There's no water, and the village is a fart! The second battle that Zhu Yanfu set for himself was to dig a well for the village!

The idea of digging a well for the village is not something that no one has ever had. But after hitting seven or eight meters, you can't even see the wet soil. The investment is large, but the opportunity is small. Many people gave up, and even everyone felt that Zhangjia Village would never be able to dig a well.

"Dig a well! I took the lead in going down the well, and the money was not enough?! I'm coming out! Zhu Yanfu didn't say a word, took out the monthly subsidy given to him by the National Defense Army, and smashed it all on the well in one go.

The first well was drilled for more than 10 meters and no water was found. Some people in the village began to lose confidence, and rumors were rife. But Zhu Yanfu didn't say a word, and immediately began to dig a second well.

Looking at his village chief, he dragged his prosthetic leg down the well. What can you guys say?! I can only grit my teeth and keep up. This time, I started to see wet soil when I hit 10 meters.

"It's cold, and the cotton pants are so hard that they can stand on the ground when they are taken off. My uncle's stump was worn out, and the blood that came out of it froze into ice, and I couldn't remove the prosthetic leg and the stump together......"

At this time, Zhao Gui, the nephew of Zhu Yanfu who was outside the door, wiped his tears and said: "The village says that my uncle is a man of iron. The mountain can't crush ......"

"! If the mountain really comes down, your uncle will definitely become a meat scum! Zhu Yanfu smiled at his nephew, waved his hand and said, "It's such a big man, what kind of cat pee!" I have this time, let my uncle go and see what the trees on the mountain are like! ”

"This thing is the bulk of our village's income this year, don't dare to slack off!" Zhu Yanfu said to Zhao Gui: "Help my uncle to take a look, has the budding that the technician said appeared?!" ”

"Hey!" Zhao Gui answered, smiled and turned around and ran out of the house.

"Old squad leader, you also planted fruit trees?!" Tu Mengben asked with great interest: During this period, the development of domestic agriculture and rural areas has been included in the plan of the joint political axe.

In particular, how to increase peasants' incomes has been included in the regular agenda of the joint political axe. To this end, Lin Sen and Yan Zhengqing first sent a group of research teams to poor villages in various provinces to conduct research.

On the other hand, it also allows the Ministry of Agriculture to summarize the plan and issue specific measures and proposals.

"Species! Of course you have to plant it, how can you make money if you don't plant fruit trees?! Zhu Yanfu said with a smile: "I've contacted the sales channels, this thing can't be fooled." If the villagers are busy in vain and can't make money, that's a big deal. ”

"So, I got in touch with our comrades in the Wehrmacht. As soon as I told me about my situation, he was willing to give me a batch of apple seedlings on credit for me to plant. Technicians are also sent to help and teach techniques. When it was planted, he bought it at the market price. If this condition is opened, I can rest assured that it ......" (to be continued.) )
