At the beginning of 1979, Tamura's heroic dream ignited a ray of light. The troops on the southern front triggered a self-defense counterattack in southern Xinjiang, and the troops suddenly became nervous, and the original normal training became a first-class war preparation; the combat units of each regiment fell asleep with their backpacks on their pillows, and some units were pulled to the air defense fortifications prepared in advance, and most of those fortifications were one cave after another.

The 13th Division was located in the northern frontier, far away from the war in southern Xinjiang, but in the international and domestic environment at that time, the northern frontier was not easier than that in southern Xinjiang. The cadres and fighters of the division's police company were also fully armed, and the division's command post was moved underground, leaving an empty courtyard, and the gate post became a double guard. The guards were loaded with guns and wore steel helmets, as if the enemy was coming at any moment. The eyes of the ordinary people living around the troops have changed, and they used to be careless. In their eyes, the army in peacetime is just shouting and running, and it is no big deal. At this time, the shouting and killing sound in the army barracks was gone, and some were just solemn, and this solemnity in the silence gave people a murderous atmosphere. When people passed by the barracks, their steps were light, and their eyes were full of sacredness. This is the difference that peace and war bring to people.

During that time, Tamura developed the habit of reading newspapers and listening to the radio. He read the "Jiefangjun Bao" and the newspapers of the military region, and listened to the Central News Channel. The newspapers and the radio were reporting on the state of the war in the front-line troops. At that time, Tamura regretted a little, regretting why he did not go to the Southern Military Region to serve as a soldier. If he went to the south to serve as a soldier, he would definitely participate in this war in southern Xinjiang.

The war in southern Xinjiang came and went quickly, and after only a dozen days, the large army returned triumphantly, leaving only a small force to stick to the cat's ear hole and fight a war of attrition and protracted war with the enemy. At this time, troops from the rear began to be transferred to the front line to fight in turns.

Tamura thought that the war in southern Xinjiang would last for a while, but he didn't expect that it would be a thundershower, and it would be over if it was over. The rain had passed, but the ground was not yet soaked, and it was not thirsty. At that time, he still thought that if there was a fight in the south, there would be a war in the north, and if the north really fought, it would definitely not be a small fight, it would definitely be a big fight. In the face of this grim war, there will definitely be a time when he will show his skills. From childhood to now, he has always envied his father's generation of soldiers, who grew up in the rain of bullets and spent every day in a vigorous manner, that is the life of a soldier, and a soldier in peacetime is simply too boring. After the end of the large-scale war in southern Xinjiang, one hero after another was born, and the deeds and stories of the heroes were published in the newspapers and on the radio every day. Fortunately, the south has not completely calmed down, and the troops are still holding their positions in the continuous spring rain. At this time, Tamura was extremely eager for the heroes of the south.

In large-scale operations, the 13th Division did not have the opportunity to participate, and the first batch of rotational troops to go to the south still did not have the 13th Division. The command posts and combat units that had been moved to the positions were withdrawn one after another, and the barracks and courtyards had almost returned to their former appearance. The ordinary people walking outside the courtyard stretched their necks to look into the compound of the troops, and finally they had the courage to say to the soldiers in the courtyard: Chief, this battle is not fighting, right?

Tamura was really in a hurry, the thirteenth division didn't go, he had to go up himself, so he wrote a letter of invitation, the content of the letter of request for war was death-like, the tone was tragic, and the emotions were sincere. He handed the petition to the company commander and the instructor, who read the petition and said, "Good, yes, you can have such a positive attitude, it's good!"

With that, the instructor put his petition in a paper bag on his desk.

After he returned from the company, he waited for three days, and there was no movement. On the fourth day, he wrote a more urgent letter of request for war and handed it to the company commander and instructor.

This time, the company commander and the instructor seemed to have patience with him, and the instructor poured him a glass of water: Xiao Tian, don't worry. We understand your mood, in fact, our mood is the same as yours, but we are soldiers, and all actions must be commanded. The participating troops have the tasks of the participating troops, and we are here to hold on, and this is also our mission.

Tamura once again walked out of the company's office with his head down. The more he thought about it, the more it was not a taste, the war in southern Xinjiang was becoming more and more dull, and if he waited like this, he was afraid that the daylilies would be cold. After thinking about it, he wanted to write a blood letter, and he wanted to send this blood letter directly to the division commander, he didn't care whether the thirteenth division participated in the war or not, anyway, he wanted to participate in the war. According to his understanding at the time, as a soldier, it is not a good thing to want to fight? At that moment, Tamura bit his middle finger, and the moment the blood flowed out was very painful, but Tamura didn't even frown. After writing the blood letter, he came to the division headquarters building, which was the first time he walked into the division office building, and he easily found Division Commander Liu's office. Master Liu looks like he is in his fifties, wearing glasses, and in Tamura's eyes, Master Liu does not look like a teacher at all, but like a teacher. Tamura shouted at the door of the division commander in a majestic manner: Report-

The division commander raised his head and looked at Tamura standing at the door in surprise. Tamura's blood was rushing at this time, he couldn't take care of it anymore, so he walked straight in, handed the blood book to the division commander, and waited there without saying a word.

Master Liu finished reading the blood book at a glance, raised his head and said: You are Tamura?

Tamura straightened his back and said: I am Tamura, a soldier of the third squad of the first platoon of the Police Communication Company.

Senior Commander Liu lifted his glasses and said, "Oh, I know, aren't you a child of Deputy Army Commander Tian's family?" Your dad and I are old comrades-in-arms, come on, sit down.

Tamura didn't want to talk to the division commander about family life, so he still stood there straight and said solemnly: Division commander, I want to go to the front line.

Master Liu smiled, and said while laughing: Okay, this is like your father, when your father heard about the war, his brain blossomed.

Tamura didn't smile, he was waiting for the division commander's reply.

Master Liu took off his glasses and put them on the table: Okay, it's good to have the enthusiasm to participate in the war. It's still written in blood, and it's quite resolute. Your request is considered by the party committee of our division, so you can go back first.

From the tone of the division commander, Tamura seemed to see hope, and he felt that he should make some preparations for the war. When I returned to the dormitory, I looked at my luggage and the basin under the bed, and I felt that there was nothing to prepare. After thinking about it, he decided to leave a letter for his parents.

After Tamura came out of the division commander's office, Division Commander Liu called Section Chief Wei of the Propaganda Section over with a phone call, and the division commander handed Tamura's blood book to Section Chief Wei and said: I think this matter should be publicized, it is all written in blood, a child of a senior leader, it is not easy, he can be angry, and he must not be vented.

Section Chief Wei took the blood letter and said: Division Commander, I know, I will arrange someone to publicize it.

The Propaganda Section arranged for an officer, Liu Dong, to come and interview Tamura at the company's office. The secretary and Liu Dong were both holding notebooks, looking serious and serious. The secretary said to Liu Dong: Tamura is your comrade-in-arms, and you are in the same class, this article is mainly written by you, and I will check it.

Liu Dong asked Tamura: Tamura, why did you think of writing a blood letter to ask for war?

Tamura looked like he was not cooperating with the interview, he leaned back in his chair and said, "I want to go to war, I don't want to grind my teeth with you here." What blood is not bloody, that is my determination to join the war.

The officer asked from a different angle: Then talk about the motive for joining the war.

Tamura glared at the officer and said, "Officer Liu, aren't you a soldier?" What other motives can a soldier have for going to war? If soldiers don't fight and don't serve the motherland, what's the point?

Director Liu was choked by Tamura's words, and he wanted to have a seizure but couldn't say anything, so he lowered his head and scribbled a few strokes in his notebook.

Liu Dong hurriedly said: Director Liu, I am in the same class as Tamura, I know him, and when I finish writing the article, I will ask you to take a look.

Secretary Liu closed the cap of the pen, stood up and said, "Then let's talk."

When he walked to the door, he turned his head and glared at Tamura again, muttering: I have never seen such a soldier.

Liu Dong also put on his pen cap and said: Tamura, there is no need for an interview, I know how to write this article.

Tamura looked at Liu Dong and said: You people are full of making up stories all day long, no matter how well the stories are written, can you make up the enemy away? Soldiers want to shed blood and sacrifice, and I have nothing to say to you people. I don't want to be a model of war, I just want to go to war, do you understand?

After saying that, he stood up and patted his ass and left.

Liu Dong looked at Tamura's back and was puzzled.

Tamura's enthusiasm for the battle was poured cold water on his head, but he was determined, he thought it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, either a hero or a bear. Tamura wants to become a hero, after he gave the blood book to the division commander, he once imagined that the division commander would approve his request to fight and send him to the battlefield ceremoniously, but what he didn't expect was that the division commander did not support him, and he also wanted to set up him as a model for asking for war, he didn't want to be such a model, he wanted to participate in the war. A good soldier can only gain eternal life in the flames of war.

Tamura didn't want to hesitate, the war in southern Xinjiang was coming to an end, and he wanted to catch up with this feast of soldiers, so he decided to secretly go to southern Xinjiang to participate in the war. He left at midnight, he was a midnight post, and at that time the double post of the division became a single post again, and this was his best chance to leave the 13th division. The gun was in his hand, and in the semi-automatic rifle, there were five yellow bullets. He wore an armed belt around his waist and a steel helmet on his head, completely dressed as a wartime outfit. Shortly after taking over, in the dead of night, he left the 13th Division and ran towards the railway station, where he was to board a train bound for the south.

Tamura's disappearance was first discovered by Liu Dong, who took over his post. When Liu Dong walked to the sentry post, he found that the sentry post was empty, and thought that Tamura had gone to the toilet, so he stood there and waited, but still did not see the shadow of Tamura. He went to the toilet and didn't find it, and stood on the sentry post and shouted a few times, but still didn't see Tamura. Thinking of Tamura's reaction during the day, Liu Dong felt that something was wrong, so he called the company commander at the sentry post.

Soon, the company commander and instructor came, and they searched around but did not find Tamura, and the situation became very serious. The company commander immediately gave the order for an emergency assembly, and in the process of emergency assembly, the soldiers in Tamura's dormitory found a letter that Tamura had left for his parents, and the contents of the letter revealed Tamura's whereabouts.

So, after the company commander reported Tamura's disappearance to the division duty room, he drove to the railway station. Their judgment was correct, Tamura would definitely take the train. When the conductor was asked, the conductor said that there was indeed a soldier who wanted to buy a ticket to the south, but there was no car at night, so the soldier left. The company commander decided to chase along the railway, and when the sun was rising, he finally saw Tamura.

Tamura walked with his gun on the sleeper between the two railroad tracks, the spear thorning in the sunlight, and he strode towards the holy land in the south, determined with a determined goal.

The military vehicle easily overtook Tamura, and when the company commander and instructor stepped down from the car, Tamura saw it, and as soon as his body was weak and his eyes were dark, he sat on the sleepers of the railway. He complained to the company commander and instructor who walked towards him: Why is it so difficult for me to enter the war?

After Tamura was escorted back to the division, he was confined. Before being locked up in the confinement room, the company commander and the instructor talked to Tamura once.

The instructor said: Your enthusiasm for participating in the war is good, but if you leave your post without permission, you are tantamount to desertion. You have to recognize your mistakes thoroughly.

Tamura lowered his head and said: I want to go to war, what's wrong? I'm not afraid of death, I'm going to be a hero.

The company commander paced in front of Tamura with his hands behind his back, his appearance was very angry, and his tone of voice was also fierce. He pointed to Tamura's head and said: You still haven't recognized your mistake, this is in wartime, you are fleeing from the battle, and you are going to go to court-martial, do you understand?

Tamura craned his neck and shouted: I am not a deserter, I want to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions.

The instructor said: We have affirmed your enthusiasm to serve the country, but you can't be so unorganized and undisciplined! There is a general deployment of the troops, and everyone should be like you, is it still a troop?

Tamura stopped talking, his neck still stiffened.

The instructor discussed with the company commander, and given Tamura's current attitude, he could only let him go to the confinement room to calm down.

The Tamura incident caused a sensation throughout the 13th Division, and during the period of time when Tamura was missing, the division duty room reported the news to the army duty room, which in turn reported the news to Deputy Army Commander Tian.

Deputy Army Commander Tian was furious, and he shouted to the attendant: Send me a car, I will go to the 13th Division.

The off-road jeep rushed towards the 13th Division at a high speed. When Tian Liaoshen marched angrily towards the 13th Division, Yang Peipei didn't know that such a big thing had happened to Tamura, and she hummed a song in a good mood as usual and went to work in the outpatient department of the military organ.

Liu Dong brought lunch to Tamura, but Tamura turned his head and looked like he was ignoring, not looking at Liu Dong or the food in the bowl. Liu Dong persuaded in a low voice: The company commander asked me to bring you food, so you can eat some.

Tamura snorted and said: I don't eat, I'm full of gas.

Liu Dong persuaded with a sincere face: You have to admit your mistakes, and if you don't admit your mistakes, you won't be able to get out of the confinement room.

I'm not wrong, is it wrong for me to ask to go to war? Don't come and do the work for me. There you go!

Liu Dong stood there, not knowing whether to advance or retreat for a while.

At this time, Tamura yelled at Liu Dong again: It's not your turn to teach me a lesson, you go quickly!

Hearing Tamura bombard him again, Liu Dong had no choice but to leave.

Tian Liaoshen appeared in the confinement room, which surprised Tamura, and he got up from the bed in a panic and stood in front of his father with a complicated expression.

Tian Liaoshen shouted: Tamura, you are a deserter!

Tamura became tough all of a sudden, he didn't admit that he was a deserter, he just wanted to join the war, how did he become a deserter? He shouted loudly: I am not a deserter! I want to be a martyr on the battlefield!

Tian Liaoshen couldn't bear it in the face of Tamura's posture of a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water, and finally waved his hand, and at the moment when his hand was about to fall, the instructor behind him shouted: Chief-

This sound woke Tian Liaoshen up, and his raised hand did not fall. Tamura in front of him was not his son, but one of his soldiers, and on such occasions, he could not beat his soldiers. Tian Liaoshen was so angry that he couldn't speak, he pointed to Tamura's nose and said: I heard that you are still on a hunger strike, who are you doing this for? You don't admit your mistakes and go on a hunger strike. Okay, if you want to go on a hunger strike, you will go on a hunger strike, and if there are consequences, you don't have to bear the leadership of your 13th Division, and I will bear all the consequences.

After saying that, he walked away without looking back.

His father's momentum calmed Tamura, and he looked at his father's distant back in a daze.

The instructor whispered on the side: "You know everything in the army, look at the chief."

Tamura's letter was forwarded to Tian Liaoshen by the company commander and instructor, and it was left to his parents by Tamura. It's a letter, it's better to say a suicide note-

Mom and Dad:

By the time you read this letter, I had already left the Thirteenth Division. I am not a deserter from the 13th Division, I want to go to war, and a soldier can only show his value on the battlefield. Dad, don't you often tell me that good men die on the battlefield? Since the day I joined the army, I wanted to be a good man and a good soldier, and I waited for the war to serve the motherland, and now I finally have such an opportunity. If I die in battle, Mom and Dad, don't feel sorry for me, your son is fighting for the motherland, and you should feel glorious for me. Goodbye, Mom and Dad......

When Tian Liaoshen read the letter that Tamura left for him, he could no longer control his feelings, his eyes were filled with tears, and his hands were trembling. He slowly folded the letter and carried it in his arms. When he left the 13th Division, he said to Division Commander Liu: Tamura is a soldier of your 13th Division, please deal with him according to the regulations of the army, and do not consider him my son.

After saying that, he returned to the army by car overnight.

Yang Peipei read Tamura's letter the next day, and before that, she already knew the ins and outs of the matter. When she finished reading the letter, she also sighed and muttered: Our son has grown up.

Tian Liaoshen also bit his cheek and said: Tian Cun is really like when I was young. Hey, this guy is really my son.

Yang Peipei choked up and said: He was originally your son.

Tian Liaoshen put his hands behind his back and looked out the window: There is nothing wrong with letting Tamura become a soldier, he is a good piece of steel, but he still needs to be tempered.

On that occasion, Tamura was punished with a serious warning from the administration, and he paid the price for his heroic dream.
