In those days, the city's stadiums were used for rallies only. Of course, the most popular ones are the criticism and public trial conferences. This kind of assembly is very boring, because the procedure is almost the same, and I have not seen any new ideas for such a conference in any city, and this phenomenon has puzzled many later generations, could it be that the Chinese were so unimaginative and creative? With hundreds of millions of citizens, such a vast territory, and no artificially prescribed unified model, how can all the rallies from the south to the north be held so uninspired? If the reader is not bored, we might as well follow the lines of the organizers of the rally to appreciate the atmosphere and procedures of the rally.

Venue Layout:

**Above the stage, of course, hangs a huge portrait of the leader, flanked by quotations from the leader, in a symmetrical manner. Left: The core force leading our cause is the Communist Party of China, and right: The theoretical basis guiding our thinking is Marxism-Leninism. In fact, when the leader said this passage, he didn't expect that someone would turn this passage into a fashionable couplet, and then it spread across the country and became a common rule.

**The front of the stage is a place to hang banners, just like the topic of an article, the banner should show the theme of the conference, who is judged by the public, who is criticized, and we must not forget to put the name of the person who is criticized with a red pen to cross it.

The chief's long table should be a white tablecloth with a microphone on it, and the local party, government, and military leaders should be seated according to the size of their positions, and each person should be placed in front of him as usual. It is safe to say that none of the central documents stipulates that such teacups must be used at rallys. It can be seen that this way of thinking that slips around is the characteristic of our Chinese thinking. Imagine, if the traditional bowl is used, the chiefs sit on the ** platform and stilt Erlang's legs, pinch the bowl lid with three fingers and skim the tea foam, this seems to be unorthodox, a bit of the Eight Banners' style, how can there be a bit of seriousness in political struggle? It seems that the first person to use this type of teacup was a very careful person, and there was politics in the teacup (after a few years, the pattern of the venue did not change much, except that mineral water replaced the teacup).

There is also an indispensable prop for this kind of venue, that is, around the venue, on both sides of the platform, and even around the circular diameter of the stadium's circular track, red flags should be planted, so as to create a "picturesque atmosphere of red flags".

Proceedings:

This procedure takes about 20 minutes, and no matter how tight the time is, it must not be simplified, otherwise there will be big problems.

1. The audience stood up and sang "Dongfang Hong".

2. I wish our great mentor, great leader, great commander, great helmsman, and the reddest and reddest red sun hair in our hearts has a long life! (three times) I wish Mao's close comrades-in-arms, our beloved Deputy Commander Lin good health! Always healthy! (Three times) this procedure is very particular, a series of sentences before Mao ** a total of 36 words, not a word less. "Longevity without borders" and "eternal health" must also be called three times in a row, not too much or too little, otherwise there will be a big problem.

3. Recite the leader's quotations, which should be related to the theme of the conference.

Fourth, the audience chanted slogans, the subject of public trial or criticism appeared, with a big sign hanging around his neck, black letters on a white background, and his name was crossed, and the usual posture was "jet type". If it is a public trial object who is about to be sentenced to death, it should be tied up like a rice dumpling.

Fifth, in the process of criticism and struggle, representatives from all walks of life took turns on the stage to read the draft and criticize, and revolutionary slogans were interspersed in order to create momentum.

6. At the end, the presiding officer of the conference will criticize and summarize, announce that the critics will be escorted out of the field, and finally everyone stands up and sings "The Sea Sails by the Helmsman" and then dismisses the meeting.

It should be admitted that it is indeed easy to lose people's interest in such tasteless gatherings held day after year, day after day, and human nature is to pursue novelty, otherwise social development will lose its motivation. Pop singers a few years later will know this very well.

This boring, cookie-cutter criticism meeting suddenly broke out one day into a big upset, the previous procedures were disrupted, and the conference was forced to be suspended. In short, to put it mildly, the meeting was so dramatic and newsworthy that the city's citizens talked about it for years.

The criticism of Li Yunlong was selected in the largest stadium in the city, and the stands of the stadium can accommodate tens of thousands of people. The difference is that the banner above the front of the stage is particularly huge, each character is 1.5 meters high, and on it is a bold imitation of Song characters: "Completely liquidate the current counter-revolutionary Li Yunlong's reactionary crime criticism meeting". On the circular track of the track and field competition in the past, every ten meters was a heavily armed soldier, the soldiers carried *** on their chests, and their snow-white gloves looked very eye-catching in the sun, and they faced the stands in a standing posture. The loaded guns and live ammunition seem to be very tasteful, which shows a little novelty. According to Ma Tiansheng's intention, this is to create a powerful deterrent effect, to embody the invincible power of the dictatorship of the proletariat, and also to embody the atmosphere in which "the day when the masses of the people are happy is when a handful of counter-revolutionaries are uncomfortable."

Li Yunlong's secretary Zheng Bo, guard battalion commander Wu Yushui, guard officer Xiao Wu, driver Lao Chang, and seven or eight staff officers of the headquarters all sat on the Mazha under the stage. Zheng Bo knew in his heart that there are always three purposes for such a conference: first, to mobilize the masses and inspire their morale; the second is to deter class enemies and set an example for others; The third is to educate those who have made serious mistakes and have not yet developed into class enemies. Zheng Bo pondered, those of them sitting on the horse under the stage undoubtedly belonged to this third type of people.

At the beginning of the General Assembly, the previous proceedings were proceeding in an orderly manner. After 20 minutes, the routine is over and the show should begin. A woman with a very high voice pitch led the slogan from the loudspeaker, and the whole venue suddenly became noisy, and it was difficult for tens of thousands of people to synchronize the slogans, resulting in the voices in the venue one after another, like a mountain shouting a tsunami. In the midst of the hustle and bustle, Li Yunlong appeared. He was wearing an old white-washed military uniform, his collar badge had already been removed, he was not wearing a military cap, and three tall soldiers surrounded Li Yunlong, according to the standard "jet" requirements, one soldier grabbed his hair and pressed it down, and the two soldiers behind him grabbed his arms and desperately raised them high. Zheng Bo, who was sitting in the audience, clearly saw his old chief struggling desperately, trying to straighten his waist, and he even heard the military commander's bones clicking. Zheng Bo trembled violently.

Ma Tiansheng, who was sitting on the stage, specially changed into a new military uniform today, he took a sip of tea from his teacup, cleared his throat and said into the microphone: "Comrades-in-arms and comrades of the revolutionary rebels, today we have brought out the current counter-revolutionaries and the executioner of the brutal suppression of the revolutionary masses, Li Yunlong, who is the great victory of Mao's ** thought...... The audience was boiling again, and slogans were everywhere...... Li Yunlong raised his head suddenly, and the soldier who grabbed his hair was surprised to find that what he was holding was actually a handful of Li Yunlong's hair, and there was a bloody scalp attached to it......

A wisp of blood flowed down Li Yunlong's forehead. He roared angrily: "Ma Tiansheng, let your mother's fart, I, Li Yunlong, am not a counter-revolutionary, I am a general of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, and I have shed blood for this country......" The whole venue was in an uproar, and the stage was chaotic, and the two soldiers who pressed Li Yunlong's arm and dragged it upwards felt that he was ignoring the danger of fractures, and tried his best to straighten his waist with all his strength, and the two strong soldiers naturally refused to show weakness, they held Li Yunlong's arm hard and stalemate, and Zheng Bo, who was very close, heard a crisp sound, One of Li Yunlong's left arms was pulled down. The two fighters were stunned for a moment, they did not expect that this counter-revolutionary would be so violent, and would rather break a bone than bend down, and the two fighters were so frightened that they let go at this moment. Li Yunlong used his uninjured right hand to take off the wooden plaque with his name written on it from his neck, and shook it hard, and the heavy wooden plaque smashed straight on the long table of the ** platform, and the teacups in front of Ma Tiansheng and Commissioner Huang were smashed, and the broken porcelain and tea splashed their faces.

Zheng Bo in the audience shouted in his heart: Great, general! Tears welled up in his eyes.

The guard Xiao Wu picked up the horse and threw himself at the ** platform and cried: "Chief, let's fight!" Battalion Commander Wu also jumped up and scolded: "Ma Tiansheng, I'll fuck your grandma......" The guards and soldiers who had been prepared around them rushed over and pressed them down, Xiao Wu and a few young staff officers with strong blood picked up Ma Zha and fought with the guards. At this time, Li Yunlong on the stage had been punched and kicked down by several fighters, and Li Yunlong used his only arm to fight back in vain, and there was a mess on and off the stage. A sharp slogan sounded over the loudspeaker: "Resolutely fight back against the arrogance of the counter-revolutionaries!" If Li Yunlong does not surrender, he will perish......"

Tens of thousands of people in the stadium were stunned by the sudden incident in front of them, they had never seen such a fierce counter-revolutionary, and so many die-hard friends. They couldn't figure it out, did these people eat leopard gall? At this time, the order of the venue was chaotic, and no one responded to the slogan.

Ma was a little angry, the wooden card almost broke his head, and it was in full view, and the criticism meeting was held at this point, I am afraid it will set a precedent in the country. There had never been a case of a counter-revolutionary openly fighting back at the meeting, so how could he have caught up? Ma Tiansheng made a quick decision and ordered Li Yunlong to be escorted down and temporarily adjourned.

Li Yunlong, who was covered in blood, was carried into the prisoner car, and his mouth and nose kept bleeding, dripping on the ground, and the distance from the ** platform to the prisoner cart turned out to be a bloody road. Those guard fighters who had been trained in hand-to-hand combat had no concept of severity when they moved, and Li Yunlong's abdomen and ribs were hit hard many times, and he suffered serious internal injuries, and the severe pain put Li Yunlong in a coma.

The prisoner car carrying Li Yunlong started and drove towards the prison.

At the corner not far from here, a Soviet-made jeep of the "Gaz 69" type drove out, and it followed not far away.

Duan Peng, who was driving the jeep, let out a beast-like cry with tears streaming down his face while driving, Lin Han's face was blue and his teeth were clenched, they all saw the tragic scene at the venue just now. Duan Peng's shouting suddenly stopped, he wiped a handful of tears fiercely, and said gloomily: "I can see clearly, those bastards on the prisoner car in front of them are their hands. Damn, what's not allowed to hurt someone's life? Lao Tzu doesn't care about this, I can't kill these bastards today. ”

Lin Han looked very calm, and he whispered: "Old Duan, you can't be too impulsive, there is nothing wrong with those soldiers, they grew up with this kind of education, and the fight against the enemy has to be like this, isn't it the case that you educate your soldiers?" I can warn you, don't hurt people's lives, otherwise No. 1 won't be able to spare us if he knows it, I have always thought that your Duan Peng's psychological quality is first-class, why are you so out of shape today? Don't forget that you're a special forces. Lin Han's words were very effective, Duan Peng also felt his gaffe, he wiped away his tears, calmed down and said to Lin Han: "Old Lin, you reminded me well, let's act when the opportunity arises." ”

The prisoner car turned a corner, slowing down sharply, and the experienced driver immediately felt that the car's two rear tires were flat, and the bumps caused by the contact between the steel rims of the tires and the road made the shock absorbers make a strange noise. He cursed and stopped the car, pushed the door and got down to change the tire. Liang Jun, who was standing at the corner of the street, sneered, blew the ** smell on his mouth, skillfully unscrewed the muffler, inserted the pistol into the holster under his armpit, and he held the steel-hearted rubber rod in his sleeve and swayed towards the car...... At the same time, Duan Peng's jeep also stopped, and Lin Han got out of the car and walked over with his hands in his trouser pockets......

Li Yunlong, who was in a coma, felt that someone was gently shaking him, and a familiar voice next to him was shouting: "No. 1, No. 1, wake up." The scene in front of him began to become clear, and he found that Duan Peng and Lin Han were supporting themselves, both of them were wearing blue labor cloth overalls, dressed as workers, and the car was driving at high speed, but it didn't seem to be the prisoner car just now. Li Yunlong immediately understood, and he asked coldly, "What about the driver and guard soldiers just now?" ”

Lin Han replied: "No. 1, don't worry, we didn't hurt anyone, we just knocked it with a rubber rod, these guys may have to sleep a little longer, let's put those boys in a safe place, and we will go back by ourselves when we wake up." ”

Li Yunlong sighed: "You lawless guys, in the end, did you still do it, have you thought about it?" This time it was a fatal disaster, and if it was revealed, the military court could sentence him to death. ”

Liang Jun, who was driving a car, replied: "No. 1, everyone in our line of work thinks that death and sleep are the same thing, who can be bluffed by a broken military court?" Besides, our current identity is the rebel fighters of the 'Jinggangshan Corps', and the 'Jinggangshan Corps' should be responsible for some things, and it's our business? ”

Li Yunlong closed his eyes tiredly and ordered, "Send me home." ”

Duan Peng and Lin Han were shocked and said: "No. 1, don't go home, that's self-defeating." We have already arranged, we will change the car in a while, this car was stolen by Liang Jun from Dongfeng Machinery Factory, we are going to throw it away immediately, someone will send you to the fishing boat dock, the boat is ready, you can land near Huludao in Liaoning in a few days, someone in the northeast has arranged, you first avoid the limelight. ”

Li Yunlong opened his eyes and said sharply: "Who wants you to arrange this?" I repeat, now I command you to send me home, do you hear? ”

The three subordinates reluctantly obeyed the order, Liang Jun threw the stolen jeep in the woods on the outskirts, they helped Li Yunlong to get into the jeep with military license plates hidden there in advance, Duan Peng, Lin Han, and Liang Jun took off their work clothes printed with the words "Dongfeng Machinery Factory" and threw them into the woods and changed into military uniforms. Li Yunlong found that these guys had equipped the jeep like an arsenal, with miniature ***, miniature **, *** and smoke bombs, as well as several imported Kevlar bulletproof vests and a 40 rocket launcher. Li Yunlong sneered: "It takes so much effort to grab a Li Yunlong? Your equipment is ready to attack armored units. ”

Duan Peng said: "We have modified this car, and the appearance is the same as the ordinary" Beijing Jeep ", in fact, bulletproof steel plates are installed all around, and the tires are also leak-proof, and the front windshield is bulletproof glass, and it can be put down at any time and can be launched head-on." On the 1st, we had already planned this operation to try not to hurt anyone, but if something went wrong in one of the links, we would go out and do a big job, so we had to make some preparations. ”

Li Yunlong smiled: "Thank God, fortunately, it went well, otherwise I don't know how many people would be unlucky, I didn't tell you a long time ago, if you want to make trouble, you can't make trouble here." ”

Liang Jun said while driving: "No. 1, why do I feel like a little daughter-in-law who has just passed the door?" Don't dare to do anything, be cautious, what kind of special detachment is this? It's obviously 'a good eight companies on Nanjing Road'. Let's just say that just now, the hairy boys who escorted you, you have to use a rubber rod to clean them up. This was Lin Han's idea, isn't this taking off his pants and farting? If you want me to say, one person will give him a slap and it will be over, why do you want to do this? No. 1, you think, if this is not allowed, then our detachment will change its name, and call it the Good Boy Detachment. ”

Lin Han smiled bitterly: "No. 1, that rubber stick is for people like him, otherwise this kid can break people's skulls with one palm, no matter how many soldiers are, it is also out of ignorance, we can't kill people as soon as we make a move." ”

Li Yunlong coughed violently and spat out a mouthful of blood. Duan Peng and the others were anxious: "No. 1, you have internal injuries, let's go to the hospital first, we have a relationship with the railway hospital, there is no problem with confidentiality." ”

Li Yunlong gasped hard and said, "It's okay, almost all the dozen pieces of shrapnel were hit in the stomach back then, didn't you live for so many years?" Lin Han, you are right just now, there is nothing wrong with those newly recruited soldiers who should listen to the party and obey the orders of their superiors, when I first became a soldier, my brain was simpler than theirs, and now the problem is that the party also makes mistakes, and the party and the country make mistakes, so we can't hold these young soldiers responsible. It seems that the Liangshan detachment lacked a political commissar with comprehensive military and political qualities, so I did the right thing by temporarily pushing Lin Han up. ”

Liang Jun turned around and reported: "No. 1, we have arrived, I have already turned around this area a few times, I have observed carefully, I can be sure that there is no situation, we can get off." ”

Duan Peng used the walkie-talkie to contact his subordinates: "06, 07, report your location." ”

"Report 01, you're in my sight, about 100 meters away, waiting for instructions......"

"06, 07, immediately seal off this area secretly, if armed military police enter, they can first warn and then open fire, without my order, no armed personnel are allowed to enter this area. Let's do it. Duan Peng coldly gave the order.

06's surprised voice came from the intercom: "Understood, whoever dares to enter my cordon, will fire and hit his dog's ......"

The small building where Li Yunlong lived was raided after he was arrested, and the door was locked and sealed. However, this could not stop Liang Jun, and it took him ten seconds to open the lock with a piece of wire. Duan Peng and Lin Han helped Li Yunlong into the living room and sat on the sofa. Li Yunlong gasped and pointed to the fireplace and said, "Xiao Liang, you put your hand into the fireplace, touch the upper left side of the furnace wall, there is a piece of recess in it, and there is an iron box, you take it out." Liang Jun took out the iron box, Li Yunlong signaled to open it, he opened the lid of the box, lifted the mask inside and opened several layers of oiled paper, and found a pocket-sized "Browning" pistol lying quietly in the iron box.

Li Yunlong stretched out his hand and took the pistol, looking at it carefully, this is a pocket gun produced by the Belgian FN company, with a total length of 115 mm, a caliber of 6.3 mm, a weight of 375 grams, and a bullet capacity of 6 rounds. Li Yunlong once showed this pistol to an engineer who studied conventional weapons, and the engineer knew it at a glance and told him that this kind of gun was designed by Mr. Browning, a famous firearms design master in 1906, and was produced by the Belgian FN company.

Li Yunlong silently stroked the blue body of the gun and the delicate pattern on the handle of the gun. This gun is a reflection of the level of industrialization of the country in which it was manufactured, and the manufacturing process is extremely sophisticated. He remembered the scene when Chu Yunfei gave him this gun, and suddenly felt a warmth in his heart, this Chu Yunfei is really a character, he plays with this pistol and misses its former owner. If you want to talk from the heart, he still likes Chu Yunfei a lot, he and Chu Yunfei have been dealing with each other for most of their lives, they are friends for a while, and they are opponents for a while. In the last farewell on the Huaihai battlefield, Li Yunlong gave him two machine gun bullets, and he gave him a **** in return, and the dozen pieces of shrapnel are still left.

"Friends, usually sympathize with each other, each is the master on the battlefield, first with the Japanese, after the fight against the Japanese, the friend himself did it again, and you fought to the death. In 1949, your kid ran away, I'm quite happy, otherwise I can't save you if I catch you, and I will kill your kid when I rebel in 1950. Isn't that the best ending? I thought I wouldn't have a chance to fight again in my life. Think about it, we quarreled when we were the regiment commander, and fought when we were the division commander, but I didn't expect to be a general and do it across the sea, my special forces cleaned you up, and you turned your hand and broke a few of my generals, this life and you kid are sticky, you take a mouthful of me, you punch me and kick me, no one takes any big advantage, why do you keep making a fuss? Brother Chu, there should be an end between you and my brother, thank you for giving me this gun, I will take it on the road. What do you think? That's enough to save face, right? Brother, I'll go first, and I'll get to Lord Yama, if you have a chance, let's continue to do it." ”

Li Yunlong refused Duan Peng's help, he held the pistol between his knees and used his uninjured hand to remove the pistol sleeve, reentry spring, buffer and magazine in turn, and calmly wiped every part with a cloth, while saying to Duan Peng and others: "When I first joined the Red Army, I carried my own shuttle dart, and at that time, the Red Army team did not issue guns, except for food, everything else had to rely on themselves, you don't look at the Red Army team in the movie, all gray cloth military uniforms, octagonal hats, that is nonsense." In the summer of 1927, I came over wearing only a pair of pants and shirtless on my upper body, and later I got a black Hangzhou spinning silk coat, which is the kind that rich people like to wear in movies, and the silk coat with the word "Fu" or "Wan" on a black background is printed. I've been wearing this coat for half a year, and you think, what does a man in a rich man's coat look like in the marching procession? But that's it at that time, no one should laugh at anyone, the army did not have a clothing factory, there was no logistics department, everything except for fighting local tyrants was to be captured, and later begged the village sister-in-law to weave a few feet of homespun cloth, and dyed it into ash with grass and wood ash, so she made a military uniform. I remember that it was badly cut at the time, the crotch of the pants was curled with the butt groove, and I walked to grind my ass, and that's it, I was still a baby. ”

Duan Peng and the others all laughed.

"For the first time, I went into battle, stabbed an enemy with a pike dart and captured an old sleeve. You haven't seen this kind of gun, it is a product of the Hanyang Arsenal founded by Zhang Zhidong, a minister of the Westernization faction during the Guangxu period of the late Qing Dynasty, the shooting accuracy is extremely poor, it is easy to jam, the rifling of my old sleeve is smoothed, and the bullet always turns over and goes out. Later, I seized a 'Zhongzheng' rifle, which was a product of the Kuomintang Gongxian Arsenal in Henan, before the Anti-Japanese War, this gun was the best rifle at that time, only equipped with the Central Army, in fact, it only had a five-round capacity, a single shot, an artificial shell, and the range and accuracy were not as good as Japan's '38 big cover'. During the Anti-Japanese War, I used a German-made barge gun, its official name is Mauser 'M1932' pistol, caliber 7.63 mm, ammunition capacity of 20 rounds, effective range of 100 meters, this gun is suitable for close combat, there is a fast and slow nose behind the gun, and the continuous fire head can be toggled to support a small ***, which was a good gun at that time. Later, it was boring, the officer got bigger and bigger, the gun got smaller and smaller, and there was no chance to charge......"

Li Yunlong clumsily reassembled the pistol and pushed the bullet into the chamber, he carefully stroked the blue body of the gun, and the handle of the gun gradually warmed up in his palm, as if he had spirituality. He said to himself: "I have been playing with guns all my life, and in the end there is only this gadget left, which is not a gun at all, it is a toy for girls." ”

Duan Peng and the other three all stood to the side and watched Li Yunlong with a straight posture, and they couldn't figure out what the army commander was going to do. The minutes were ticking, and they were all veterans, and they knew very well that the longer they were delayed here, the greater the danger, but none of them spoke. In the face of looming danger, they stood there with fearless faces.

Li Yunlong raised his head and carefully looked the three of them up and down, as if he was saying goodbye to the three loyal subordinates with his eyes, his eyes were full of love and appreciation. Duan Peng's heart trembled suddenly, and he understood it all in his heart, because he saw the farewell in the commander's gaze, and his tears spilled down his cheeks and fell on his chest, and he couldn't help shouting: "Commander, my commander, please come with us, we beg you, please ...... you."

Li Yunlong coldly ordered: "Now I order you to return to the team immediately, do you hear clearly?" I never say a second time, give me a right away. After speaking, he resolutely raised the muzzle of the gun and aimed the muzzle of the black hole at Duan Peng.

"No, we're not leaving, if you're willing to shoot." Duan Peng refused the commander's order for the first time, and his attitude was very tough.

Liang Jun took a step forward, his face tense and almost hideous, and said, "Commander, you should know that this gadget is useless to us, we can take your gun and forcibly take you away." We have the ability. ”

Li Yunlong sneered: "Ho, it's really hard wings, dare to surrender my gun......"

The voice fell, and with a "snap", the bullet flew over Liang Jun's scalp. Liang Jun's face did not change, and he said without moving: "Commander, this is useless, if this little thing can scare us, then the special detachment you formed by yourself is too wasteful." ”

Li Yunlong shook his head helplessly, and his tone softened a little: "Listen, a soldier can be cut off by the enemy in hand-to-hand combat, but he must not be insulted, a soldier can die, but he must not lose his dignity, you want to hide me and live a few years of life, I think, even if it is out of kindness, it is an insult to me Li Yunlong, making me live like a walking corpse." In doing so, I can only think that who has a deep hatred with Li is not a good intention. Do you understand? The eldest husband comes and goes, he has to live like a man when he lives, and he has to die like a man, why do you want me to learn to shrink the turtle? Ruined my reputation for the rest of my life. ”

Duan Peng, Lin Han and Liang Jun finally understood that Li Yunlong had made up his mind and there was no possibility of recovery. The three of them couldn't help but mourn in their hearts, for the first time, these men with hard hearts as iron bent their knees that had never been bent before, and knelt in front of the commander in unison, and the men had gold under their knees, and they wanted to use this oldest Chinese etiquette to bid farewell to the general they respected the most, and who had the grace of knowing them. These three strong men burst into tears and couldn't say a word for a long time. Li Yunlong closed his eyes tiredly and said, "Okay, let's go." Remember! To keep this special detachment, don't let your counterparts on the other side of the strait see jokes. Please! ”

Duan Peng and the other three wiped away their tears, stood upright, gave a standard military salute to the commander, and then walked out of the gate with tears in their eyes......

Li Yunlong slowly walked upstairs with the handrail of the stairs and dragged out a fuchsia cloth box from the closet in his bedroom. He opened the box, this is the general dress issued by the People's Liberation Army in 1955, it is said that for this dress, many countries in the socialist camp have helped, some countries give materials, and some countries are responsible for processing small items such as epaulettes and buttons, Li Yunlong touched the golden pine branches and pine cone patterns on the collar flower and cuffs, the pair of calfskin boots that match the dress are high-waisted elastic mouth style, the boots of the general and the school officer are slightly different, the boot of the official boots is flat and pointed, and the lines are very smooth, This slight difference is indicative of the degree of regularization and strict hierarchical differences in the PLA in 1955. Li Yunlong took off his blood-stained old military uniform with great difficulty, and slowly put on this outdated general's uniform, remembering the past when he and Ding Wei and others deliberately made trouble because they thought the rank of major general was too low, and couldn't help but smile lightly. I was still young. After putting on the dress, he took out three golden medals from the small pocket of the lining of the box, and he carefully looked at the three medals, and his heart was warm. The second-class August 1st Medal, with the pattern of the August 1st Red Star, was awarded to a regimental commander who served in the 10-year Agrarian Revolutionary War; The second-class Medal of Independence and Freedom with the pattern of Yan'an Pagoda Mountain was awarded to the commanders of the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression; The first-class Liberation Medal with the Tiananmen Square pattern was awarded to commanders at or above the military level during the Liberation War. These three medals are extremely exquisite from design to casting, they are plated with pure gold, and they are dazzling in the light, and these three medals condense the history of this army that has gradually become stronger from the bloody struggle in the barren ravine, and also condense the record of Li Yunlong's personal history and a hundred battles. He pinned the medal to the right chest of the dress, put on a large-brimmed military hat decorated with a golden cap, and looked at the dressing mirror to see if it was a dress, wearing it, the person became radiant, and in the dressing mirror appeared a majestic general with eight faces, a golden iron horse, swallowing thousands of miles like a tiger, and on the yellow hard epaulettes, the golden general star twinkled under the lamp......

He came down from the stairs with the handrail of the stairs, slowly sat down on the sofa, picked up the phone and dialed Ma Tiansheng's office: "I am Li Yunlong, and I am at my house now...... What's so strange about this, I know you're looking for me, why didn't you think to come to my house to take a look? You're probably just trying to cast a net at the station docks, right? It seems that your brain is not very flexible. To be honest, I'm really not very relieved that this army will be handed over to you. Okay, come on, let's have a good talk, after all, let's work together. Remember! Only you are allowed to enter my gate, and the soldiers with guns are not allowed to enter, and I have a gun in my hand, and you must have a little conscience, so you should not let the young warriors make unnecessary sacrifices. Okay, come on, I'll wait for you. He hung up the phone and sat on the sofa facing the door, his waist straight, his knees slightly apart, his broken left arm hanging naturally on his left leg, and closed his eyes.

What should be said has been said, what needs to be done has been done, and it is time to go. As a general, he didn't like this kind of fate. I remember a famous foreign general who said: The best destination for a soldier is to be hit by the last bullet in the last battle. Li Yunlong agrees with this view and appreciates this way of dying. It's a pity that life didn't give him that opportunity.

He looked around at this familiar living room, where he and his wife have lived together for more than ten years, the air in the living room seems to still have Tian Yu's unique fragrant smell, the sofa seems to still have Tian Yu's body temperature, he feels an unprecedented warmth, and his eyes are transformed into the Huaihai battlefield full of artillery fire, the small field hospital, and the beautiful girl in the white nurse's uniform. He couldn't forget the last words his wife said when she broke up with him: Yunlong, you are a dragon, I am a cloud, and dragons and clouds are inseparable. He imagined that a dragon with golden scales flashing all over his body danced in a cloud of steam. He couldn't help but laugh softly, and his wife held him in high esteem. However, he was quite pleased that his wife could value him so much.

Alas, if people can live all over again, they will probably live more carefully and more tastefully than the first time, and they will enjoy more joy and have fewer regrets.

Alas, the biggest regret in this life is that I didn't study well, and I lived a confused and unclear life. He remembered that Zhao Gang had persuaded him many times, and he also wrote a banner to him: Qianqiu Miao left me alone, and I will study again after returning from a hundred battles. It is said that it was written by Zeng Guofan to his brother Zeng Guoquan. Zhao Gang hated this old comrade-in-arms who was not good at studying, and Li Yunlong, who liked to call himself a big boss, was very disapproving, and he didn't know where it was thrown for a long time.

Thinking of this, Li Yunlong laughed lightly, everyone looks back on their lives, who can have no regrets? If he hadn't joined the Red Army at the beginning, he Li Yunlong would have guarded the two acres of thin land at home, and wouldn't he have been digging in the soil to eat? At that time, he did not know that he lived on a round earth, and thought that the earth was like a flat piece of kneading board, and that the distant provincial city was the center of the earth. It's stupid. When he first saw the plane was an anti-encirclement campaign, the old biplane of the Kuomintang stood there stupidly and asked in the dive strafing of the plane: "Squad leader, why is there someone on this big bird?" ”

Looking back now, he suddenly found that he had met cultural people in his life, and if he hadn't had these learned people, he might not have been stupid. The first cultural person he met was Zhu Yucheng, the battalion instructor when he was the battalion commander. Li Yunlong got along with him for a short time, and Zhu Yucheng sacrificed. Li Yunlong clearly remembered that he was killed when he slid down the mountain stream when he climbed over Jiajin Mountain. The weather was very sunny that day, and the colors that greeted the eyes were also very gorgeous, the blue sky, the white snow-capped mountains, the Red Army troops all over the mountains, the female soldiers of the propaganda team stood in the knee-deep snow and played allegro to encourage morale, the red flags on the mountains and mountains rolled up, Zhu Yucheng casually chanted a few ancient poems beside Li Yunlong, so that Li Yunlong still remembers it vividly:

The snow is falling in the twilight,

The wind and the red flag do not turn over,

Luntai East Gate sent you to,

When I went, it was snow-covered on the mountain road.

Zhu Yucheng's voice fell, his feet slipped, and the person floated down to the deep stream like a kite with a broken string...... Alas, it is really not easy to lay down this country, how many people have died, if this Zhu Yucheng can survive, he will be awarded at least a lieutenant general in 1955. He also came out of the depths of Dabie Mountain. Dabie Mountain, when the jute rioted and hundreds of thousands of Dabie Mountain children joined the Red Army, how many are there now? In 1955, the title was conferred, and there were 293 generals from Dabie Mountain. These survivors became generals, but who could forget the hundreds of thousands of Dabie Mountain disciples who fell on the battlefield? It's time to go back. A farewell to his hometown for 40 years, everything in his hometown is like yesterday, from a distance he seems to see the black and purple Dabie Mountain main peak King Kong Terrace in the blue sky and white clouds against the background of the outline of the steep silhouette, on which stands the ancient castle, showing a circle of majestic and rough outline, the mountains of his hometown gradually spread blue mist, tall pines and cypresses, poplars, chestnut trees pierce the branches to the sky, villages, temples, waterwheels, passes are shrouded in illusory fog...... The soul returns to the homeland, it should be the most beautiful life ultimate, high-ranking officials and generous people, and even vigorous careers, are not as warm as the gifts of nature. The return of his soul to his homeland was a dream he dreamed of in his later years. Hundreds of thousands of Dabie Mountain disciples have gone back, and of course he has to go back, that is his hometown. How many times has he searched for his hometown in the "Dictionary of Ancient Chinese Geographical Names...... The North Ridge is between the Hubei and Henan rivers, and the Dabie Mountains are a major watershed between the Jianghuai River, that is, the Zhou and Qin Mountains. Now more than 70 miles of chiseled mountain passage, Pinghan Railway passes through it. From Yingshan County, Hubei Province in the west, to Henan Mall in the east, Luotian to Huoqiu, Anhui Province, and between Huoshan counties. The old pass was set up on the pass...... Since ancient times, the Civil War has always taken this as a serious danger. In the battle to defend Wanyuan, the enemy army used 90 regiments on the ground in less than 30 miles, ten times the number of the Red Army, who can remember how many vicious battles were fought at that time? How many people are sacrificed every day? He was one of the few survivors. And in front of me, everything fell silent and passed. The thrilling gunshots, the heart-rending screams, the grief-stricken curses and **, the stumps and bones and heads that were all in ruins, and the military flags that were still fluttering in the wind with thousands of holes, all fell silent, passed, and disappeared without a trace, as if in a dream......

Li Yunlong opened his eyes, and he heard the sound of the car's brakes and heavy and messy footsteps. He picked up his pistol from the coffee table and found that several soldiers with *** were cautiously leaning out outside the gate. "Smack!" The gun in Li Yunlong's hand rang out, and the bullet grazed the left ear of a soldier, and the soldiers immediately flashed on both sides of the gate. Li Yunlong shouted: "Ma Tiansheng, you can come in, I said, don't let the soldiers in, be careful that my gun goes off!" ”

Ma Tiansheng's voice came from outside the door: "You all retreat outside the courtyard, and you are not allowed to come in without my order." Li Yunlong, I'm in. Ma Tiansheng walked into the living room without fear.

Li Yunlong smiled with satisfaction: "Ma Tiansheng, dare to walk in under my gun, you are still a man, sit down." ”

Ma Tiansheng sat down on the sofa facing Li Yunlong, and replied quietly: "Thank you for the compliment, this is the first time that you, Li Yunlong, have praised me." But I don't feel honored, you should know that a Communist Party member is not afraid of death. ”

Li Yunlong frowned, and said impatiently: "Here it is again, I said Ma Tiansheng, why do you look like acting?" Just a few lines over and over again? You and I have worked together for a long time, and now that I'm leaving, can you not say those clichés? ”

"This is the difference between you and me, because the political views are far from each other, and you still take confrontational measures against Mao's revolutionary line, how can you understand the language of a real revolutionary? Li Yunlong, you have gone too far, I advise you to put down that gun, and then there is a way out. ”

Li Yunlong sneered: "Soldiers don't have the habit of handing over their weapons unless they die. When it comes to the way out, you're wrong, I never intended to leave a way out for myself, so you didn't say it. I'm not here to argue with you about these theories, because I've never figured out in my life that you're no better than me, even though you're more educated than me. I just want to tell you that I, Li Yunlong, don't like to be at the mercy of others, no one can! The Japanese devils and the Kuomintang are not good, and neither can the current central "**" group. My life is at my own mercy, and I have the right to choose my own way of death. Although my life Li Yunlong is not valuable, it can't be easily taken away by others, and I have to do this work myself. Do you know the most dignified way for a soldier to die? Hang oneself? Take poison? No, that's the way for ordinary people to die. Tell you that the way a soldier should die should be with a bullet. You see, I put the muzzle of the gun at my temple, and when I pull the trigger, the bullet will pass through my other temple, and with the bullet spewing out my blood and **, at that time, you will see that my Li Yunlong's blood is hot, piping hot, steaming, and my ** is white, like tofu that is not well marinated, confused, this is because I haven't made too many things in my life. This bullet should go through my temple and go into the wall over there, which is gray and doesn't ricochet, so if you want to keep a souvenir, dig this bullet out, and I'll give it to you. If you are not rare, leave it in the wall, and whoever gets it in the future will be a fate with me. Also, this warhead may be a little deformed, because my skull is hard......"

Li Yunlong raised the pistol with his right hand and pressed the muzzle of the gun against his right temple.

Ma Tiansheng's face suddenly became like a blank piece of paper, and he shouted in a lost voice: "Li Yunlong, don't shoot...... he risked his life and rushed over to grab the gun.

"Smack!" A bullet hit the floor in front of Ma Tiansheng's feet, only an inch away from his toes, Ma Tiansheng froze, and he shouted desperately: "Lao Li, don't be impulsive, the relationship between you and me has reached the point where it is today, it may be that I have done a little too much in some aspects, let's talk about ......"

Li Yunlong glanced at him contemptuously, as if he didn't bother to speak, and his index finger pulled the trigger sharply......
