After the task of suppressing bandits, everyone was thinking about how to build the motherland, and they also had great hopes for the future, the country was reunified, and life was getting better and better.

Wang Xiaoliang said: "My mother told me that to be a soldier is to be a good soldier, work hard to build the motherland, serve the motherland, if there is no ***, there will be no of us today, our family is *** saved, I want to join the army."

Liu Tiezhu, the machine gunner in the platoon, lay next to Wang Xiaoliang, laughed loudly, and said, "The big guy who is not *** saved."

There are a lot of people in the platoon who came out of ***, and after surrendering, they followed ***, and in the *** troops, they thought that this was their own troops, and they felt at home, and the previous veterans did not treat them as outsiders, just like brothers.

Xia Yuan was lying on his bed, not knowing what he was thinking, and the deputy platoon elder Yang was also born and died with his predecessor, seeing Xia Yuan's preoccupied look, he asked, "What's wrong, what are you thinking, thinking so much."

Xia Yuan said, "I'm thinking about what's happening in North Korea."

Lao Yang laughed and said, "You also want to go to North Korea, right? There are a lot of heroes over there, and many companies want to go to North Korea to defend their homeland and defend the country, and our company commander thinks about it, and even I want to."

After a pause, Lao Yang restrained his smile and said, "Lao Xia, I know you like to fight, but building the motherland is as important as defending the country, only we have built the motherland stronger, do you think the American devil still dares to fight us?" They dare to fart, if we build the motherland strong, they won't dare to beat us, and they have to call us grandpa!"

Xia Yuan glanced at Lao Yang a little unexpectedly, and immediately became accustomed to it, in his memory, Lao Yang was like an instructor, he had been taking care of the lives of the soldiers, and it was related to the ideological work of the soldiers, and the original body was a warmonger, he liked to fight, and when he arrived at the battlefield, he was the first to rush forward with his head, and it was precisely in this way that the original body became the platoon commander of the sharp knife platoon, responsible for the task of assaulting the enemy's defensive line.

Lao Yang lay on the bed, put his hands behind his head, and said: "Whether it is to resist US aggression and aid Korea, protect the family and defend the country, or stay in the country and build the motherland, we are for the motherland and the people, and only when the motherland is strong can we not be bullied. Lao Xia, you know, I used to farm, my mother was beaten to death by the ruffians and hooligans under the landlord, and my father was captured by the White Army to become a strong man, and I don't know where I died, since I grew up, I have understood that if you want not to be bullied, you must have the ability and strength to protect your family."

He said, "This country is like a small family, you have to be strong."

Lao Yang seems to want to pull Xia Yuan back, he and Lao Xia have been comrades-in-arms for several years, every time there is a battle, Lao Xia takes the lead and rushes to the front first, he is afraid that he doesn't know when Lao Xia will fall asleep like those sacrificed comrades.

Xia Yuan's heart was heavy, as if he thought of their fate in the future, and said, "You are right, whether it is to build the motherland or defend the country, what we want is to make the motherland strong and let our people no longer be bullied."

From Changjin Lake to Shangganling, Xia Yuan only felt the faith emanating from these people during the period of resisting US aggression and aiding Korea.

This is not felt in the rout and the masses at the bottom.

All this is because on October 1, 1949, the Chinese people had their own country and people to protect them, and this was also the time when faith spread the most vigorously, when the masses of the people were most active, and when the country was the most powerful.

Following.

Just after the New Year, the weather was still very cold, the soldiers wore thick clothes to run, everyone had white mist in their mouths, Lao Yang led a row of soldiers, shouting neat slogans, running circles around the playground, and the second and third rows followed them.

Xia Yuan rarely had a cigarette in his mouth, the second platoon commander wiped a match, and lit it to the third platoon commander and Xia Yuan, the three of them sat on the steps of the door, looking at the training soldiers, Lei Company Commander and Instructor Shao came over from a distance, and the three of them hurriedly

Stand up and get ready to snuff out the cigarette from your mouth.

Company Commander Lei hurriedly said, "Don't pinch it, don't pinch it, give it to me."

Xia Yuan handed over the cigarette in his mouth, Company Commander Lei took out a cigarette from his arms and put it on his mouth, lit the end to the cigarette holder, and took a few puffs, the cigarette butt was glowing brightly, Company Commander Lei handed the cigarette to Xia Yuan, rubbed his hands, and looked at Xia Yuan: "Did you kid get any news recently?"

Xia Yuan looked suspicious, shook his head and said, "Company commander, what are you talking about, what news."

Instructor Shao said to Company Commander Lei, "It's not like he knows."

Company Commander Lei took a hard puff of his cigarette and said, "We may be going to pull it out."

The second platoon commander stopped smoking anymore and asked, "Company commander, where are you going?"

Commander Lei said: "Resist US aggression and aid Korea, protect the family and defend the country!"

During this period, it was no longer a secret to resist US aggression and aid Korea, and it was no longer a secret to defend the homeland and defend the country, and only the first and second groups of troops who entered the DPRK to fight in Korea were secretly entered, and they all belonged to secret operations; it was now February 1951, and the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea had been fought for four months, and the first, second, and third campaigns had already ended, and what was currently being waged was the fourth campaign, and the fourth campaign lasted for more than three months from 25 January to 21 April 1951. Our army participated in the war with 280,000 people, and the US military counselors participated in the war, which lasted a long time and had a large number of combatants.

Everyone looked at each other, Xia Yuan frowned, he knew what happened to the 180th Division in Korea, and he really didn't know that the 180th Division entered Korea to fight during the first few battles, so he really didn't know what Company Commander Lei was talking about.

In my memory, the order they received was to prepare for localized construction after suppressing the bandits, and the specific time of the operation in Korea is really unclear.

Company Commander Lei smoked a cigarette and said, "What the battalion headquarters held at a meeting last night said, don't reveal it to the soldiers for the time being, and do their ideological work first."

The second platoon commander immediately said excitedly: "Company commander, what kind of ideological work to do, the soldiers have long wanted to fight the American devils!"

The corners of Company Commander Lei's mouth almost couldn't help laughing, coughed lightly, and said, "Converge, this looks like a soldier!"

"Yes!"

The second platoon commander quickly restrained his expression and looked solemn.

Instructor Shao had a smile on his face.

During this period, three battles have broken out to resist US aggression and aid Korea, and many heroes have been born, especially during the second campaign, a special combat hero occurred on the small high ridge in the southeast of the 1071 highland in the east of Jieyuli under Changjin Lake, in the past years, the birth of one combat hero after another made the domestic war to resist US aggression and aid Korea, the emotions and calls for defending the country more and more high, coupled with the situation of the Korean people in the newspapers, which made the Chinese people who had been drenched in the rain extremely sympathetic, full of anger towards Western countries, companies from various military regions *** When they asked for war, they pressed bloody fingerprints on the letter and asked their superiors to let them go to Korea to fight and defend their homeland and country.

Their company is no exception, everyone is holding back a lot of energy in their hearts, everyone is eager to go to the Korean battlefield, defend their country, even if they are allowed to go to the soup and fire, when they hear the news, they are not much afraid in their hearts, but the fighting spirit is endless.

"Maybe there are many soldiers who think that the war is over now, and they are all looking forward to a good life, and when they are in a meeting, some comrades want to go home to visit their relatives, and the regiment headquarters also asks us that we must not drop the chain at a critical moment!"

Instructor Shao said: "After the morning exercise, with each platoon as a unit, you will hold a meeting on your own and tell the squad leaders that you must do a good job in the ideological work of the soldiers, especially those of you who are platoon commanders, not only to lead the troops to fight, but also to learn how to take care of people, do you understand?"

The three of them looked serious: "Understood!"

Seeing the Lei Company Commander and Instructor Shao leave, the three of them stood in place for a while, the second platoon commander Ma Shunyao is a Northeast man, tall and big, fighting bayonets very powerful, at the end of the Anti-Japanese War, the Japanese devils desperately let a large number of student soldiers participate in the war, that was his highlight moment, with one against three, the three Japanese devils were all picked to death, and won the title of a 'heads-up king, .

The third platoon leader, Chen Lie, is a taciturn Nanyun Han who has gone into the mountains to hunt

, will do some traps, marksmanship is accurate, the bandits at that time the company led the way basically relied on him, whether there were traps on the ground at a glance, helped the company solve a lot of trap troubles.

Ma Shunyao stopped Xia Yuan's shoulder, he had a lot of topics with Xia Yuan, Xia Yuan was not afraid of death, he often rushed to the forefront when he charged, Ma Shunyao liked Xia Yuan very much like a fierce man in battle, Chen Lie's marksmanship was accurate, he could hit a lot of firepower points, and helped them solve a lot of problems in overcoming the enemy's firepower points.

The relationship between the three of them belongs to the iron triangle, but Chen Lie is not good at words, and he does not communicate much with Xia Yuan and Ma Shunyao, but the emotions between the big guys are all fought again and again on the battlefield, and the relationship is very iron.

"I'm going to North Korea soon, hey, I said two days ago that this bandit is over, if there is no fighting, it would be nice if I could go to North Korea to fight American devils, no, I didn't have to wait long, our company commander said that Kaiba is going to North Korea."

Ma Shunyao grinned, looking very happy: "When you get to the Korean battlefield, don't rob me, if you want to be a hero, then let's be a hero first."

Chen Lie smoked a cigarette and didn't speak, Xia Yuan thundered Ma Shunyao with a punch, and the latter grinned and said, "Old Xia, when did you have such strength, this punch is really strong enough."

"You're going to be a hero." Xia Yuan smiled: "Don't fight the battlefield, our life is precious, we have to kill some American devils."

Chen Lie said sullenly, "Come back alive, I invite you to drink."

Ma Shunyao laughed: "Don't worry, my life is hard, in the past, one of our classes was surrounded by Japanese devils, and we broke through hard, and three people survived in one class, and they were all beaten through the stomach, and they survived." No matter how powerful the American devil is, he is also a human being, and a bullet will still kill him, don't worry, he will definitely drink the wine you invited!"

At the end of the morning exercise, Xia Yuan called the squad leaders of the three squads in a row and Lao Yang to have a brief meeting.

Tan Zhanbiao, the first squad leader, Niu Fengyang, the second squad leader, and Zhou Xingyong, the third squad leader, are all veterans of the War of Liberation and the War of Resistance Against Japan.

The 180th Division has three infantry regiments, the troops have experienced the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the War of Liberation, after the establishment of the motherland, they were ordered to stay in western Sichuan to suppress bandits, and fight in the country for a long time, with a large number of veterans and rich combat experience, a company is basically a veteran with rich combat experience, especially the sharp knife platoon led by Xia Yuan, these three squad leaders can crawl out of the pile of dead people, have rich combat experience, and there is no ambiguity in fighting, especially following Xia Yuan to live and die together, dare to charge, and is the backbone of a company.

Xia Yuan didn't talk nonsense with them, and went directly to the topic, saying, "Old Yang, we are going to fight in Korea."

The four of them were shocked, they thought that the higher authorities had issued a new order for localization, but they never thought that they had been notified to enter the DPRK to fight.

Lao Yang was a little shocked, so he asked, "When will you leave?"

Xia Yuan glanced at Lao Yang, in terms of ideological consciousness, all the soldiers in a row, no one can compare to Lao Yang, there is no superfluous nonsense, there are no superfluous questions, as long as it is an order from the superiors, he will never be confused.

"The specific time is not clear, but according to the current situation in North Korea, it is estimated that it will only be a few days."

In fact, the battle plan for the Fifth Campaign had already been drafted, and their 60th Army entered Korea to participate in the war in preparation for the Fifth Campaign.

Niu Fengyang rubbed his hands and said, "Grandma, I can finally beat foreign devils, I heard that this foreign devil is not easy to fight, their country is very powerful, richer than us, even Japanese devils can't compare to them."

Tan Zhanbiao said indifferently: "No matter how powerful the country is, that soldier is not still a soldier, knock it down with one shot***, how many heroes did the first batch of troops to fight in Korea, no one is afraid, Lao Tzu is not afraid, no matter what it is, give Lao Tzu a gun, it is the enemy's cannon hole, and Lao Tzu will also rush forward!"

When it comes to combat, these veterans crawled out of the pile of dead people, they don't know how many times they died, and the comrades-in-arms beside them left one by one, they have long put life and death out of the way, and put the feelings of family and country in their hearts.

took a deep puff of smoke,

Feeling the smoke passing through his lungs, Xia Yuan couldn't help frowning, Rao is predecessor was an old smoker, he was still a little unaccustomed to the smell of smoke, after experiencing so many mission worlds, he smoked only a handful of times, but he was an old smoker, and sometimes his body would want to smoke one or two, which was uncontrollable.

Extinguishing the cigarette butt casually, Xia Yuan said: "Fighting a war not only depends on our commanders and fighters, but also depends on the mutual cooperation, understanding and action of the soldiers.
