Chapter 11: Responsiveness

At the age of sixteen, he was no longer oppressed by the landlord, and went to Changchun to work as a worker, and was caught by the Japanese soldiers as a laborer, and was tortured all his life.

After the recovery of Beidong, he joined the army, and before entering the DPRK, the leaders appointed him as a platoon commander, and asked him which company he wanted to go to, and he resolutely asked to go to a company that had not made military achievements.

The leader complied with his request and sent him to an inconspicuous company.

So, he came to the 3rd Company and 3rd Platoon of the 1st Battalion of the 335th Regiment as a platoon commander, and when the whole regiment launched a campaign to volunteer to join the DPRK to sign a signature, in order to grab the first credit for the whole platoon, Guo Yonghui tried to select the most clever soldiers in the platoon, and took turns to stand guard in front of the battalion department.

At twelve o'clock in the evening, it was supposed to be time to rest, but the entrance to the camp was crowded with people.

Zhu Gaopin, a soldier in the third platoon, looked back, and there was a large row standing behind him, and he was glad that the platoon commander really had two shots, if he was a little careless, they would not be able to grab the first 'champion'.

Liu Liu, the elder of the cooking class, asked Xia Yuan and Xiao Heping to come to the door of the battalion commander to guard, and when the two came, they were also taken aback, and when they asked, they found out that everyone was running over from each company and platoon in the camp in order to grab the first prize, holding a large stack of war books in their hands.

It's just that I didn't expect that everyone had the same thoughts as them, thinking that they would be able to grab the first credit when the battalion commander got up early tomorrow morning.

Xiao Heping said excitedly: "Xia Yuan, you see, everyone is so active, why is our country not safe." ”

Xia Yuan was also quite moved in his heart.

Such a force is rare in the world.

They have a home in their hearts, a soul in their hearts, a country in their hearts, and faith in their hearts.

On October days, the weather temperature in the north and east gradually dropped, and the weather gradually became colder, and the soldiers gathered in front of the battalion department, and everyone talked in a whisper, for fear of waking up the sleeping chief.

It was almost dawn, and the battalion instructor had just gotten up, and Zhu Gaopin, a soldier in the third platoon, stepped forward to report:

"Report instructor, on behalf of the whole platoon, I signed and volunteered to fight in North Korea!"

As soon as the battalion instructor woke up, he was startled by the crowded soldiers outside, and figured out the intention of everyone, the battalion instructor suddenly became sleepy, and a happy smile appeared on his face: "Very good, go back and tell the platoon, you have grabbed the first place." ”

Zhu Gaopin couldn't stop smiling on his face, and the corners of his mouth couldn't stop curling up: "Instructor, I know, I'll go back!" ”

He happily ran away.

The battalion instructor looked at the soldiers gathered in front of the gate and said happily: "Don't be discouraged, you don't fight one after another, they are all for the Korean people, and it depends on who can make great contributions to the DPRK, win glory for the troops, and win glory for the country!" ”

The signature activities of various units were very active, and some platoon commanders or soldiers carried backpacks and slept in the signature area, all wanting to grab the first place.

Commander Liang came down to inspect and saw the 38th Army's signature activities in full swing, and said with emotion: "Our troops have such ruthless energy, and as soon as they hear that there is a combat mission, they are full of energy, and no one is far behind. ”

The chief of staff looked at the lively station, nodded in agreement: "Yes, it should be said that it is a difficult thing to issue a combat mission, but our troops are different, and it has become a difficult thing to arrange a combat mission." ”

It's not that the assigned combat mission went unanswered.

Instead, there were too many people rushing to the battlefield to be the first to rush to the battlefield, and the troops actively signed up, let this go, that one disagree, let that go, this one disagree.

Everyone is scrambling to make a head.

This is a good thing, but the commanders and fighters are often worried about who to arrange.

Coming back from the battalion headquarters, Xia Yuan followed Xiao Heping, the two walked and chatted, talking about the battlefield, Xiao Heping participated in the last liberation war, he said: "On the battlefield, the plane bombed, the shells bombarded, there was the sound of explosions everywhere, you shouted that no one noticed, you have to gesticulate, don't be afraid when you get to the battlefield, I am here, I will help you." ”

Then he asked Xia Yuan: "Are you afraid of fighting?" ”

"Don't be afraid." Xia Yuan shook his head.

"I can't say for sure, when I used to train, I thought the battlefield was just like that, but the first time I went to the battlefield, I was scared stupid, it was still the enemy who had been repulsed, I followed the squad leader to deliver food, and the reactionary artillery kept bombing."

Xiao Heping has an incident that I still remember vividly, "In our class, there is one who is about the same age as me, he ran on the position with a bag of steamed buns, was hit by a cannonball, and his body was broken. ”

Xia Yuan listened quietly.

"So, when you get to the battlefield, you must not run around, hide in the trenches, and keep your center of gravity low."

Xiao Heping taught Xia Yuan in the tone of a person who came over.

Xia Yuan didn't say anything, and nodded to show that he knew.

After walking a short distance, I heard a noisy voice: "Battalion commander, when did I not go up in battle?" You can't see the bottom of a bowl of water, this time abroad, I will not embarrass the Chinese. ”

Xia Yuan looked over curiously, he was an old comrade, a little older.

Xiao Heping said in a low voice: "That's the secretary general, the squad leader said that he enlisted in the army in 1937, and he was older than the squad leader Not long ago, because of a letter from home, he asked him to go home and get married. ”

"You know that." Xia Yuan was a little surprised.

"That's right, we're PHS in the camp." Xiao Heping said proudly.

Xia Yuan knew that when Xiao Heping was fine, he liked to talk to some soldiers about gossip, saying that it was gossip, but in fact, it was everyone's daily life.

"What about that?"

Xia Yuan raised his head again and pointed at a young soldier who didn't look very old after the battalion commander.

"Pan Tianyan, from the second company, seems to be seventeen years old, he was sick not long ago, he didn't participate in the training, he has been recuperating, the instructor asked him to stay, he didn't agree."

Sure enough, Xia Yuan heard the little soldier Pan Tianyan say: "Battalion commander, I checked it, don't you believe it?" I'll show you the. ”

Xia Yuan was happy, and the battalion commander Feng Huaiyu was also happy, "If you are well, you are welcome to go." ”

Pan Tianyan is seventeen years old, skinny, is the battalion commander Feng Huaiyu picked up an orphan when he was in Nanhu, he has been in the stomach for the past two days, diarrhea, the whole person has collapsed, Rao is like this, he is silent, when the instructor asked him to stay, he cried, after Feng Huaiyu's persuasion, he reluctantly agreed to stay.

But after sleeping and seeing that everyone was actively writing war petitions, volunteer letters, etc., he was lying on the bed to recuperate, and he felt bad in his heart, so he ran to the battalion headquarters to find Feng Huaiyu.

Hearing Feng Huaiyu say this, Pan Tianyan grimaced, turned his head and ran away.

Then the instructor who came with him said to Feng Huaiyu anxiously: "Battalion commander, he is not well, and he has run to the toilet a few times during the day." ”

Feng Huaiyu said helplessly: "Why didn't you tell me earlier, this kid will lie in order to fight abroad." ”

There was a sound of chirping in the distance, Feng Huaiyu raised his head and looked, and hurriedly pulled the instructor away.

Xia Yuan followed Feng Huaiyu's gaze and looked over, it was the female comrades in the battalion, some of the soldiers' families, and the propaganda team.

When they saw the fleeing battalion commander, they chirped: "The battalion commander is running, sisters, hurry up and chase after him." ”

Xia Yuan turned his head to look at Xiao Heping, Xiao Heping understood, and said: "These female comrades, without the approval of their superiors to fight in North Korea, began to make trouble, and they also want to go to the front line. ”

"Oh." Xia Yuan was clear.

"This is to blame the battalion commander, after the end of the Liberation War, these female comrades made great contributions, what did the battalion commander say, who said that women are not as good as men."

"Who said women are inferior to men."

"Oh yes, who said that women are not as good as men, they are happy, and now they are fighting in Korea, and they must follow."

Xia Yuan nodded slowly, and heard a voice in the distance.

"Sisters, Battalion Commander Feng doesn't care about us, and the regiment commander doesn't care, let's go find the division commander."

A group of female comrades with short hair walked towards the division headquarters in a huff.

Leave a group of fighters to watch the excitement.

Before, he had not experienced such a scene, but with the troops who entered the DPRK for the second time, they entered North Korea, and the second time they entered the DPRK to fight was very secret, and even the people in the country did not know.

After assembling, late at night, taking advantage of the night, he quietly crossed the Yalu River Bridge and entered North Korea.

In comparison, the first time I entered the court, it was quite grand.

People beat gongs and drums and sing red songs along the Yalu River.

At that time, it was the majestic and high-spirited crossing of the Yalu River, and all the soldiers of the participating troops set foot on the land of other countries with their heads held high and with great glory.

For example, if the superiors did not approve the entry into the DPRK, the soldiers went to make trouble, which was not uncommon in the 38th Army.

The superiors also let everyone make trouble, which is a good thing, and it proves everyone's determination to fight in Korea and defend the country, how can they intervene.

This is a pain for those commanders and fighters.

Gay men are good at talking, but lesbians are not, they just have three words.

I'm going.

A female nurse named Hao Xiuzhi from the 113th Division ran to the division commander to protest, and as soon as she came in, she asked, "Why don't you approve our female comrades to enter the court?" ”

"It's a rule from above."

"You keep saying that men and women are the same, but when it comes to critical moments, you look down on us female soldiers."

The commander of the 113th Division had a headache, "This is the organization's concern for you!" When fighting abroad, it is different at home, and you have to carry everything on your own when you march and fight, and the female comrades can't afford it. ”

Hao Xiuzhi raised her head and said in an irrefutable tone: "Commander, you look down on people!" You gay men can carry as much as you want, and it will definitely not be less than your lack of catties. ”

She will also give examples: "During the War of Liberation, our female comrades carried the wounded, no less than the male comrades, and we could also carry things." ”

The division commander admired her courage and preferred her stubbornness, and finally approved her request.

Zhang Fuying, a nurse in the 334th Regiment Health Team, was also a stubborn young woman, and the leader said that her health was weak and she could not bear it when she went to North Korea, so she was not allowed to enter the DPRK.

Zhang Fuying trains with the male soldiers every day, the male soldiers run ten laps, she also runs ten laps, the male soldiers climb with weights, she also climbs with weights, the men fight with men, and she also fights, just to prove that her body is not weak.

Men and women are human beings, and if men can persevere, women will also persevere.

She trains every day and entangles with the leader.

She said: "People, not men and women, it depends on whether there is determination." Aren't Mulan and Liang Hongyu both heroines galloping on the field? ”

The leaders were also moved by Zhang Fuying's insistence and agreed to her to fight in North Korea.

Like her, there is also Yang Jie, the lover of Yang Dayi of the 112th Division, who is a statistician in the Organization Section of the Political Department of the Division.

She is not tall, slender and slender, just newlywed, and she is also clinging to go to North Korea, the leader said that she is weak and can't keep up with the team, she said heroically:

"Look at people! I can't keep up with you gay men, and I'm willing to stay! ”

Like Zhang Fuying, she runs and marches with the male comrades in the agency every day, although her tired sweat soaks her clothes, her heart beats and panting, her mouth is dry, and she doesn't want to be left behind.

For her, it's like a selection competition abroad, and she has to fight to the death.

She finally won and received the approval of her superiors.

But Yang Dayi was worried and said, "You, you're too willful, we're not going to travel around the world, but to fight." ”

Yang Jie giggled and said, "You men just look down on us women, and it's your business and ours to beat American devils." Don't worry, when I get to North Korea, I won't embarrass my teacher. ”

With their stubborn character and tenacious determination, many girls in the army fought for approval to enter the Korean War as the first batch to enter the war. Some leading cadres should be looking for a target, but they are not looking for a target.

Someone introduced Feng Huaiyu, the commander of the first battalion of the 335th Regiment, to Feng Huaiyu, who is 38 years old this year, and his boss is not small, and he has fought with the team for more than ten years.

He resolutely said: "It's going to be a war, and now it's a concern to find a partner who is still in the rear, I won't do it, in case I don't come back, what will she do, how comfortable I am to fight alone, these things, wait until the war is over." ”

Instructor Huang Xingtai persuaded him: "Old Feng, you are thirty-eight years old, it's time to look for it." ”

Feng Huaiyu shook his head and refused, and looked at him again: "Lao Huang, are you looking for it?" ”

Instructor Huang smiled and said, "I'm still young, so I'm not in a hurry. ”

Feng Huaiyu said: "If you don't want it, I don't want it, if you defeat the American devils, let's find it together and get married together!" ”

Those regimental-level cadres who are in love generally choose to postpone their marriages, in case they don't come back, they won't delay others.

However, some of the girls did not agree, and in order to encourage their lovers to go to Korea to kill the enemy bravely, they had no worries and insisted on getting married before the war.

They firmly believe that the Chinese People's Volunteers will win the war in Korea, and they believe that their husbands will return triumphantly!

The entire 38th Army was filled with a momentum of clenching and surging upward.

After the formation of the Chinese People's Volunteers, from 9 to 16 October, meetings were held in Yangshen and Andong for cadres at and above the army level and cadres at and above the division level. (End of chapter)
