The No. 1 car is the car of Kim Jong-woo, Yuan Jun's partner and instructor of the First Company, Kim Jong-woo was transferred from the Third Battalion and worked with Yuan Jun for less than a year. The death of Kim Jong-woo made Yuan Jun feel sad, after all, the two had lived in the same room for nearly a year, and they were quite close to each other. Before the war, Kim Jong-woo also said in a chat that he had never been to Beijing, and his greatest wish was to take his wife and children back to Beijing in the future. Yuan Jun also promised him that he would stay in his own house when he went to Beijing in the future. The words of that day's conversation are still in my ears, but Kim Jong-woo is no longer there, and he can't even find his body, and he was blown to pieces.

Yuan Jun carefully observed the destroyed No. 1 car, the damage was indeed miserable, the 75 mm anti-tank gun fired at a distance of less than 100 meters hit the junction of the turret and the hull, the turret was lifted out of more than ten meters, and the fire caused a chain explosion of shells inside the tank, and the 4 crew members were blown to the bones, and the body almost disintegrated. The No. 6 car, which was at the end, was basically the same, and all four crew members were killed. Yuan Jun took off his tank cap first, lowered his head, and the tankers also took off their hats one after another to mourn their fallen comrades.

Yuan Jun ordered the destroyed No. 1 car to be knocked down the mountain stream to open the way for the tank column behind. With tears streaming down his eyes, the driver of car No. 4 knocked the wreckage of car No. 1 down the mountain stream, and then knocked the tank into the rocks blocking the road again and again, and it took more than a dozen times in a row to knock the rocks away, and the long formation of tanks crowded on the mountain road finally started again.

In this battle, in addition to the first 8 crew members, the tankmen suffered 4 more casualties. The commander of car No. 4 and the gunner of car No. 5 were killed during the assault on the enemy's anti-tank positions, the driver of car No. 7 was seriously wounded, and the infantry reinforced platoon on board also suffered more than half of the casualties and lost its combat effectiveness. Yuan Jun adjusted the staffing of each vehicle and ordered the attack to advance.

When the tank group roared out of the mountain pass, there was no longer any infantry cover, Yuan Jun knew that in the subtropical mountain jungle area, tanks without infantry cover were very dangerous, but he could not care about these at this time. Due to the attack of several mixed anti-tank units of the enemy army on different sections, the whole regiment was cut into several sections on the narrow mountain road, and each company had to fight on its own. Yuan Jun learned from the radio that the battalion commander's car had been attacked in the battle just now, and the battalion commander was seriously wounded, and now the deputy battalion commander had taken over the command of the battalion commander, and he ordered the first company on the radio not to stop, to continue the attack and advance, and to occupy Town D at the intersection of the highway as planned, and the whole battalion would immediately follow up.

At this time, there were 7 tanks in the company, these 7 tanks started at full speed under the command of Yuan Jun, the engine was roaring, the tracks rolled up the dust, the crew in the tank felt like a ship on a rough sea, the body was violently bumpy, Yuan Jun felt a burst of nausea, and the loader next to him couldn't help but vomit.

The tank group entered the gentle hilly area, and the terrain gradually flattened, Yuan Jun couldn't help but get excited, this is the natural tank field, where the tanks can gallop vertically and horizontally.

The gunner shook the artillery steering machine, put the bus into the crosshair of the scope, and asked: "Company commander, do you want to fight?" ”

Yuan Jun said: "What are you doing beating the people? Don't fight! ”

The gunner said unwillingly: "The problem is that we can't figure out who is a soldier and who is a common man, and they all look like ordinary people, and they may conjure up a bazooka like a trick." ”

Yuan Jun said: "There is no way, we can only wait for others to show off the bazooka before we can fight, you see these passengers are still waving to us, probably treating us as their own people, why are these ordinary people so slow to war?" ”

A truck full of enemy soldiers drove past the tank column at high speed, and it was still a liberation truck. The enemy soldiers also did not notice where the tank was, probably because the nylon camouflage net on the tank turret obscured the striking Red Star. This time it was a heavily armed army, and the driver fired the heading machine gun without waiting for Yuan Jun's order, and a string of bullets entered the body of the truck, and the tires were also burst, and the speed of the truck slowed down. The soldiers in the carriage hurriedly fired at the tank with ***, and the tank's armor plates were clanged. The driver was furious, slammed on the accelerator and pushed up, the tank got close to the truck and rubbed lightly, the Jiefang truck overturned, and the tank ran over the truck straight away. Yuan Jun turned his periscope to the back, and saw that the six tanks behind him were also unceremoniously running over the flattened trucks one by one...... The excited shouts of the tankers were heard in the headphones, and the shouts carried the thrill of revenge.

Town D finally appeared in the periscope, and it looked like it was still a small town, with smoke curling from the town, and enemy soldiers in grass-green uniforms building bunkers with sacks. The map shows that this is the intersection of 3 highways and an important highway hub. Before the start of the war, Yuan's army had already made the task clear, the tank company, as the vanguard of the whole regiment, the main task was to capture D town, and to hold it, waiting for the large army behind. According to pre-war intelligence, the enemy had a battalion of garrisons here, armed with anti-tank weapons.

Yuan Jun hesitated slightly, and it was really risky to attack an infantry battalion equipped with anti-tank weapons with 7 tanks without infantry cover, but he immediately made up his mind: fight! There's nothing to hesitate about, you can't stop here and wait for the infantry to come, that doesn't make people laugh off their big teeth.

Yuan Jun gave an attack order into the microphone: "Attention to all cars, double car on the left, single car on the right, spread out the battle formation, pay attention to the cover of the two wings, the target, D town, full speed ahead!" ”

Seven tanks formed a wedge battle formation and rushed towards Town D.

Yuan Jun's later memories were a little vague, he only remembered that the tank group was suddenly attacked by enemy anti-tank fire 800 meters away from the town entrance, and a few white lights flashed, and Yuan Jun's tank bore the brunt of two shells, as if fired by the 82 recoilless gun. As soon as he thought of this, Yuan Jun gritted his teeth with hatred, this kind of cannon was produced in China, and the soldiers thought its name was too tongue-twisting, so they simply simplified it to "82 nothing". This kind of cannon once provided a large amount of free aid to the enemy army, and Yuan Jun tasted the taste of being attacked by weapons produced in his own country. The first shell hit the 45-degree inclined armor plate in front of the driver, followed by another shell on the semicircular turret. Due to the angle, the two shells did not penetrate the armor and were ejected, but the strong shock caused by the huge kinetic energy was not trivial. Yuan Jun was so shocked that he fell out of his chair, and the driver was so shocked that he was stunned for a few seconds, and almost drove the tank into a ditch, and the gunner couldn't help but vomit. Yuan Jun endured nausea and dizziness and turned the periscope, and he immediately searched for the location of the enemy's fire point: "Quick! Aim and hit, the house on the left in front of you, the firing point is there, and you can load the blasting projectiles......"

With a bang, the cannon was discharged, and several enemy soldiers and cannons were blown into the sky.

The voice of Sun Yong, the commander of car No. 5, came from the earphones: "Report to the company commander, car No. 7 was destroyed, and car No. 4 was shot and damaged......"

Yuan Jun said coldly: "Got it, continue to attack and rush into D Town!" ”

A company of only 5 tanks finally rushed into the town, Yuan Jun found through the periscope that the people in this town seemed to have moved, and the streets were full of soldiers running around, some holding *** to strafe the tank, and some holding grenades and explosives bags to the tank. The course machine guns and side-by-side machine guns on the tanks fired fiercely, sweeping the enemy soldiers down piece by piece...... Yuan Jun's tank turret received another shot, fortunately the angle of the shot was off, *** diagonally crossed, the driver found that there was a guy wearing a helmet hat on a two-story building opposite, he slammed on the accelerator, the tank roared and crashed into the small building, the small building became a ruin like a collapsed building block. The tank continued to ram forward, unexpectedly carving a new path through the dense houses, which, everywhere they went, collapsed like dominoes and were filled with dust.

Cars No. 5 and No. 8 had leveled the enemy's anti-tank positions at the entrance of the town, several 75-mm anti-tank cannons were crushed, and the two tanks turned their turrets with their barrels facing backwards, knocking down the houses like bulldozers.

Car No. 9 triggered an anti-tank mine at the entrance of the town, and the violent explosion threw the tank and overturned it on the side of the road, killing all four crew members. Car No. 3 was confronted by a fatal guy as he stormed into Town D, he got under the car with a dynamite bag, pulled the dynamite bag before the track rolled over him, and Car No. 3 was blown to the side and ignited a fire, and the commander and driver who were on fire were knocked down by enemy machine guns as they jumped out of the cockpit......

Yuan Jun saw the tragic situation of car No. 9 and car No. 3 destroyed in the periscope, and couldn't help but close his eyes in pain, this kind of outcome he had long expected, a tank without infantry cover is like a beast surrounded by termites in the jungle, no matter how ferocious, it will still be devoured by thousands of termites in the end. What Yuan Jun wants to do now is nothing more than the fight of the trapped beasts, he has already made up his mind, while manipulating the parallel machine gun strafing, while shouting into the microphone: "Car No. 5, car No. 8, I am the company commander, now there are only 3 of us left, if we hold on a little longer, reinforcements will arrive, let's do a dirt work, bulldoze the house, and the enemy will lose his concealment." ”

"Car No. 5 understands!"

"Car No. 8 understands!"

Yuan Jun's judgment was correct, and after 10 minutes, 3 tanks had almost bulldozed the town, and the remaining enemy lost the cover of the buildings and was forced to withdraw from the town. Yuan Jun reported to the deputy battalion commander: "The first tank company has occupied Town D and is defending and waiting for reinforcements. ”

The deputy battalion commander said: "Company commander, please report the damage." ”

"We only have three tanks left, and we're running out of fuel and ammunition."

"Company commander, hold on for a while, we are still 10 kilometers away from you, we will be there soon, the enemy may have to counterattack, you must hold on."

"Yes! Please rest assured battalion commander! ”

Yuan Jun drilled out of the turret, looked around with a telescope, and understood eight or nine points in his heart. Don't look at this town is not big, but the geographical location is very important, this is the main assault direction of our Eastern Front Corps - the outer barrier of L City, in the entire campaign layout, D Town can play the role of a defensive support point. It is no wonder that both the enemy and the enemy are playing with their lives, because once Town D is captured, the road to City L will be flat and undefendable.

Yuan Jun smoked a cigarette and thought about how to use 3 tanks to organize an effective defense, and he had an idea after smoking a cigarette. He ordered three tanks to be lined up at the south entrance of the town, with one person on each tank operating anti-aircraft machine guns and artillery, and the rest of the crew disembarking to build bunkers and defend with small arms. Fortunately, the enemy discarded a lot of weapons, and it was not difficult to find a few machine guns, and the fighters got busy.

Sun Yong of car No. 5 was checking the anti-aircraft machine gun on the turret, and he suddenly shouted: "Company commander, the enemy has dispatched three tanks, more than 3,000 meters away, and they are coming in our direction." ”

Yuan Jun jumped up to the turret in a few steps and raised his binoculars, and the three tanks that came into view formed a wedge-shaped battle formation, which was the most common battle formation of tanks, and there was nothing surprising. Interestingly, this is actually a mixed formation of two different types of tanks, the front is the Soviet-made T62 tank, which is one of the most advanced main battle tanks in the 70s of the 20th century, both in terms of tactical performance, armor bulletproof ability, and artillery caliber are superior to the domestic Type 59 tank driven by Yuan Jun. Yuan Jun looked at it first, his heart tightened, and then at the two tanks behind him, he couldn't help but laugh dumbly, they were actually two T34 tanks from the Soviet Union during World War II. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is old-fashioned, this tank was equipped by the Soviet Union in 1941, and it has been 38 years now, and the active equipment of the Soviet army has been changed several times. This tank has long been an antique in the Soviet Union, and its only use is to make movies with the theme of "World War II".

Yuan Jun said with a smile: "It's really a poor country, even the weapons are good and bad, it's like a vegetable seller, selling a radish to build a handful of cabbage." He couldn't figure out why the enemy's commander had put into battle a mixed formation of these two tanks with such a disparity in performance.

Yuan Jun calculated that his three tanks were already running out of fuel, and if he drove the tanks to fight a tank battle with the opponent in motion, he would obviously suffer. It seems that the best way to do this is to sit back and have a classical duel with the T62 tank from the front. In terms of quantity, it is three against three, in terms of quality, the two T34s are almost negligible, and the 85 mm rifled gun on it does not want to penetrate the frontal armor of the Type 59 tank at a distance of 1000 meters, but what is worrying is that the T62, its gun is equipped with a two-way stabilization system, which can fire accurately at high speeds, and what is intimidating is its 115 mm smoothbore gun, which is not bound by rifling, and the shell increases the muzzle velocity, and its lethality is not trivial.

The opponent's tanks are getting closer and closer, already approaching a distance of 2,000 meters, and Yuan Jun estimates that the opponent intends to enter a distance of 1,000 meters before firing, which is the most sure firing distance for direct-aim artillery. Yuan Jun felt hot all over his body, and the sweat that flowed out had soaked through his work clothes, 1000 meters...... This is a distance of life and death, he has to calculate carefully, the first thing to do is to destroy two T34s at a distance of 1000 meters, it must be a distance of 1000 meters, if it gets close, it will pose a threat to his tank. And what about the T62, people are not stupid, they will also fire at a distance of 1000 meters, even if you destroy two T34s, but its starting hit rate is very high, and it is possible to take out one of your tanks with the first shot......

A thought suddenly flashed through Yuan Jun's mind, he jumped out of the tank and shouted: "Car 8, car 5, the driver gets in the car and listens to my dispatch." ”

The two drivers started the tank, Yuan Jun ordered the No. 5 car to stick to his tank, side by side facing the front, and the No. 8 car turned sideways to block the front of the two tanks side by side, and the three cars were arranged in the shape of "product". This was undoubtedly a clever idea, the No. 8 car became a bunker for the two tanks behind, protecting the frontal armor of the two tanks, and the exposed side was the slope of the semi-circular turret, with a lower angle of penetration of less than 90 degrees, which could completely bounce the shells away. If you can sacrifice one tank in exchange for three tanks, you will not lose money on the deal.

Sure enough, when the opponent's tank drove into a distance of 1,000 meters, the T62 at the front fired a shot and accurately hit the side armor of the No. 8 car that served as a cover, and the No. 8 car suddenly burst into flames. Sun Yong of the No. 5 car seized the opportunity to press the gun button, and with a "boom", a broken armor shot ejected from the chamber, lifting a T34 turret on the left side, and the T34 immediately burst into flames. Yuan Jun had already put another T34 into the crossmark of the scope, he pressed the gun button suddenly, but the cannon did not sound, and Yuan Jun's cold sweat flowed down all of a sudden. He found that the electric stunner of the artillery had been damaged in the battle just now, so he hurriedly switched to manual firing, but he did not expect that the manual firing was also broken. After a slight delay, the T62 on the opposite side fired another shot, hitting the side of the turret of the Yuan army's tank, and the semicircular turret flew the shells out. Although the tank was unharmed, it shook Yuan Jun again, his head hit the deck, many golden stars appeared in front of him, and blood flowed down his head like a stream into his neck. He didn't bother to wipe a handful of blood, but put his eyes close to the scope, adjusted the steering machine, and aimed at the junction of the T62 tank's turret and platform. He saw that the barrel of the opponent's gun in the scope was also adjusting the angle, and the opponent's gunner was probably annoyed with the No. 8 car blocking in front, which greatly affected his angle of entry. It's a veritable duel, and whoever has the fastest hand is the winner. At this time, there was a flash of fire in front of the No. 5 car, and Sun Yong fired another shot, and the shell hit the 45-degree inclined plane of the frontal armor of the T62 tank, and the shell was also ejected. Yuan Jun gloated and thought that the other party's tankmen were also dizzy at this time, and he took this opportunity to grab a large wrench and hit the gun latch fiercely, and with a "boom", an armor-shattering bullet flew out, and the turret of the T62 tank in the scope spun like a flying saucer in the firelight and flew out seven or eight meters, and he laughed loudly......

Yuan Jun was so engrossed that he didn't find that the remnants of the T34 had gone around 200 meters to his side, and the No. 5 car Sun Yong also aimed at the tank, and before he could press the gun button, the gun of the T34 tank fired first - an 85 mm *** shot through the side deck of the Yuan Jun tank, in the explosion, Yuan Jun's laughter stopped abruptly, he felt as if he had become a feather, floating up gently, he let out a deep sigh: "Alas, this feeling is so good......"

For Yuan Jun, this war has ended ahead of schedule.

Before Zhong Yuemin led the task force to launch an attack on the 210 heights, a self-propelled artillery regiment of the follow-up unit rushed to the ferry, and the front commander ordered to fire at the enemy's artillery group in depth, so the large-scale artillery battle began. With the rumbling sound of artillery, groups of shells drew dense ballistic trajectories in the air, and flew across the 210 heights towards the enemy's depth. The enemy's artillery group did not show weakness and immediately began to return fire in reciprocal terms. Clusters of shells flew across the high ground towards the ferry. A battalion of our boat bridge braved the enemy's artillery fire to build a bridge in an emergency, and the shells flying from the depth of the enemy exploded countless columns of water in the river, and from time to time some soldiers of the boat bridge battalion were hit by shrapnel and planted into the river.

Zhong Yuemin stood on the 203 Heights and looked around with a telescope, and he found that within a radius of several tens of kilometers around the No. 4 Bridge, the artillery battle was a pot of porridge. First, the artillery fire of the Vietnamese army bombarded our interspersed route, and then the artillery fire of our army counterattacked the high ground on the interspersed route. Later, artillery fire from both sides took turns to bombard all areas and high ground. The entire interspersed route and the highlands became a world of light and fire in the blink of an eye. Everywhere in the positions were the screams of shrapnel tearing through the air, and everywhere there were deafening explosions. In the midst of this terrifying explosion, there is an even more gruesome situation - the primeval secondary forests that cover the mountains and the tall bamboos detonate all kinds of ammunition in the air, which greatly increases the coverage and killing range of shrapnel in the air. The soldiers on both sides fell one by one in this overwhelming roar......

Ignoring the intense artillery battle, the members of the task force had their own work to do, and with the cover of the bushes, they formed a skirmish line in groups of three, alternately leaping forward. After all, they are well-trained scouts, and their movements are like shots in a silent movie, without the slightest sound. According to the plan discussed by Zhong Yuemin, Zhang Haiyang and Wu Manchu, it is best to take the method of surprise attack to deal with the defending enemy on the 210 heights. They concluded that the enemy was unwilling to expose himself. When the task force attacked Bridge 4 just now, the defenders on Heights 210 did not move. They knew the importance of the artillery observation post, which would be knocked out as soon as it was exposed, so they simply remained silent and watched the troops guarding the bridge being annihilated without firing a single shot, perhaps they thought that our side had not yet discovered this artillery observation post. If this is the case, the task force simply pretends to be deaf and dumb, approaches the enemy's fortifications with covert movements, and then leaps into the enemy's fortifications to settle the battle in close combat, only in this way can casualties be minimized. The number of contingents is too small, the cost is limited, and the defending enemy cannot afford to consume. If the enemy is discovered halfway up the mountain, the task force will have to resort to a strong attack, so that the casualties will be much greater.

Heights 210 is not very high, and the task force approached the top of the mountain in less than 15 minutes, and it seems that the task force was lucky. Zhong Yuemin found many discarded empty cement bags in the bushes with the words "Made in China" written on them, and concluded that the defenders had built permanent fortifications on the top of the hill, and that they had been built hastily because the cement bags were still very new.

The group of spearheads led by Ning Wei had already jumped to within 30 meters of the enemy's fortifications, and they would be able to jump into the enemy's fortifications in two or three minutes. Ning Wei opened the bayonet, and he muttered silently in his heart: "Thank God, it's going to be done soon, but don't make a ...... out of the ordinary" But just as he was chattering, Tong Tielin beside him touched an anti-infantry mine, Tong Tielin's body was thrown up in a ball of firelight, and one foot was blown away without a trace. This explosion was tantamount to alerting the enemy, and an anti-aircraft machine gun in the fortification immediately fired, and the fighters fell nimbly down the hillside, bullets raining down around them. Immediately after that, the two heavy machine guns of the defending enemy also fired, and the soldiers were crushed to the ground.

Ning Wei's position was at the front, and he had already jumped to a place only a dozen meters away from the enemy's fortifications, and at this time he was pressed to the ground by the rain of bullets and could not move. He cursed and pulled a grenade from his waist and put his little finger into the ring of fire. He was expecting a brief break in enemy fire, and if he was given a few seconds, he would be able to drop a grenade into the enemy's fortifications in a lying position.

The defending enemy seemed to know Ning Wei's thoughts, and the fire of the anti-aircraft machine gun gradually moved back, suppressing the group led by Zhong Yuemin, and a heavy machine gun immediately took over the position, pressing Ning Wei all the time. A rock in front of his head had been shattered by a bullet, and he was lying dead behind the rock, knowing that if he raised his arm to drop the bomb, he would definitely break it from the rain of bullets.

Zhong Yuemin and others, who were walking behind, were also suppressed by the enemy's firepower, and the enemy's fire network was very fierce, and the task force could not advance or retreat, and was in a very unfavorable situation. The fifth squad leader Yu Genzhu, who was lying next to Zhong Yuemin, was equipped in a lying position, jumped up in the rain of bullets, and carried the 40mm bazooka on his shoulders in a kneeling position to aim at the enemy fortifications, before he could pull the trigger, he was hit by 3 high-altitude bullets in the chest, Yu Genzhu was hit by the powerful impact of the bullet two meters away, fell on his back, and the bazooka and the *** who had taken off the safety hat rolled down to Zhong Yuemin's legs.

Zhong Yuemin rolled to Yu Genzhu's corpse and observed his wounds, the penetrating wounds formed by the 12.7 mm bullet were horrible and miserable, the bullets were shot into the mouth the size of a wine cup, the musculature and vertebrae in his back were all blown away, his corpse was still warm, and life had rushed out of the body in an instant, disappearing into the air. Zhong Yuemin glanced at the sky with reddened eyes, as if he was looking for Yu Genzhu's departed soul. Wu Manchu, who was lying not far away, couldn't help crying, he used to be the platoon commander of Tai Genzhu, the two were still fellow countrymen, and they usually had a good relationship.

Zhong Yuemin silently took off the ***, grabbed the bazooka, and prepared to jump again. Zhang Haiyang was in a hurry, he shouted: "Yuemin, don't move, the enemy's fire is too fierce......" Zhong Yuemin turned a deaf ear, he checked the bazooka, turned over and jumped up suddenly, and raised the bazooka in a kneeling position......

At this time, Ning Wei, who was at the forefront, was still suppressed by the fire and could not move on the hillside, and he was so anxious that he was sweating with a grenade. At this time, Tong Tielin, who had one foot blown off, suddenly supported himself, and he opened fire on the enemy's fortifications with one hand. Due to excessive blood loss, he was already in a semi-comatose state, but even so, a long burst shot he fired was still extremely accurate, and seven or eight bullets hit the bulletproof shield of the heavy machine gun defending the enemy, and the enemy's machine gunner immediately swept the bullets towards Tong Tielin, and Tong Tielin, who was hit by more than a dozen bullets, fell down unwillingly.

Ning Wei seized this brief opportunity and threw the grenade in a lying position, and the grenade turned over in the air to draw a graceful arc and accurately fall into the enemy's trench......

This fleeting opportunity also saved Zhong Yuemin, and the moment he jumped up at the risk of death, the enemy's firepower was directed towards Tong Tielin. Zhong Yuemin realized that the Grim Reaper had passed by him and pounced on Tong Tielin. He pulled the trigger of the bazooka fiercely, and with a loud and deafening bang, dazzling pillars of fire erupted from the front and rear ends of the bazooka, and a ball of fire roared out with a trail and hit the enemy's anti-aircraft machine gun bunker......

Two explosions came almost at the same time, Ning Wei's grenade blew up the defending enemy's heavy machine gun, and Zhong Yuemin's *** destroyed the defending enemy's anti-aircraft machine gun bunker. Ning Wei jumped up like lightning with the sound of the explosion, and jumped into the enemy's trench in a few steps, before his feet landed, the *** in his hand rang out, and the three enemy soldiers a few meters away were beaten by the fierce close fire and fell out......

Seizing the moment, the task force jumped into the trenches, and a scuffle ensued on the positions, in which the two sides fought each other. The position was full of the sound of short point fire, grenades flying in the air, the two sides chasing each other in the trenches, the sound of hand-to-hand combat, the clashing of guns and bayonets, and the screams of the wounded were mixed together.

After Zhang Haiyang jumped into the trench, he could not stand on a stable footing, and he received a bullet in his chest, and it was the magazine on his chest that saved his life and blocked the fatal blow. He knocked down two enemies who were close at hand with a point shot with his backhand, and the remaining enemy second lieutenant ran away, Zhang Haiyang chased after him, and the second lieutenant disappeared without a trace. Zhang Haiyang thought that he might have gotten into the tunnel, he didn't stop, and continued to rush forward along the trench, who knew that he just turned a corner and hit the muzzle of the second lieutenant, and the muzzle of the black hole was almost up to Zhang Haiyang's head. He closed his eyes resignedly, the second lieutenant pulled the trigger fiercely, Zhang Haiyang heard a "click", but the gun did not go off. This ensign was not very lucky, his pistol was stuck at this time, but his reaction was extremely fast, and he smashed the pistol at Zhang Haiyang's face, Zhang Haiyang's head tilted, dodged a blow, but his body was knocked down by the ensign, and the two rolled and fought in the trench. Zhang Haiyang's gun was hung around his neck with a strap, and the *** on his chest hindered his movements at this time. The second lieutenant didn't know when he had an extra dagger in his hand, he was obviously a master of playing with knives, there was no superfluous movement at all, and as soon as the knife came out, he went straight to the point, and the tip of the knife stabbed at Zhang Haiyang's left chest. Zhang Haiyang had no room to dodge in the narrow trench at all, he slammed the opponent's wrist with his palm in a hurry, but this palm only knocked the opponent's blade, and the dagger was deeply inserted into Zhang Haiyang's shoulder socket, he felt a sharp pain, and his shoulder was like a red-hot iron bar, the fire was burning, and his whole body was paralyzed. As soon as the second lieutenant succeeded, he did not hesitate to stab Zhang Haiyang in the heart for the second time, and Zhang Haiyang was powerless to dodge, he held the determination to break the net like lightning stretched out his right hand, with his middle finger and index finger ** the other party's eyes...... He actually succeeded, two fingers poked into the opponent's eye socket like a plug, but the opponent's dagger did not pierce his heart, he found that the second lieutenant's body was paralyzed, Ning Wei appeared in front of him, holding a blood-dripping dagger in his hand - his dagger accurately pierced through the soft tissue under the shoulder blade of the second lieutenant's back, piercing the heart.

Ning Wei helped Zhang Haiyang up, took out a first-aid kit and pressed his wound: "Staff Officer Zhang, you are injured." ”

Zhang Haiyang leaned weakly against the chest wall and asked, "Why don't you shoot?" ”

"You are too entangled too tightly, at such a close distance, the bullet will penetrate this kid and hurt you, fortunately, I am relatively fast."

Zhang Haiyang's military uniform was already soaked with blood, the knife almost pierced his shoulder, blood kept gushing out like a spring, a large amount of blood loss made him feel dizzy, he took Ning Wei's hand and said: "Ning Wei, thank you, you saved my life......" He lost consciousness after speaking.

Wu Manchu led a combat group to jump into the trench and met several enemy soldiers head-on, with guns fired almost simultaneously. It's a lot like a duel, the two sides are seven or eight meters apart, and they are holding each other unobstructed. The encounter ended in less than 10 seconds, with 5 soldiers on the other side falling, and 3 soldiers around Wu Manchu also being shot and falling. Wu Manchu was shot in the left arm, the bullet broke the arm bone, the arm drooped down and shook with his body, and blood splattered on the chest wall. Wu Manchu didn't care about bandaging his wounds, he held a gun in one hand and chased the remnants of the enemy along the trench. He grew up in the mountains, he didn't even wear shoes when he was a child, he walked barefoot on mountain roads like walking on flat ground, he had already trained a pair of iron feet and extraordinary physical fitness, coupled with more than ten years of military training, so that his speed of action in the mountain area was different from ordinary people. Several enemy soldiers who were familiar with the terrain ran desperately along the arc-shaped ring fortifications, and every time Wu Manchu raised his gun to shoot, they could turn into the shooting corner at the right time, and the bullets hit the chest wall and splashed choking dust, but they never hit them. Wu Manchu simply stopped shooting, and he ran with all his might. The enemy soldiers didn't expect him to run so fast, he was bitten by him after only a few turns, he raised his hand and shot a point, and the two enemies were hit in the run, and their bodies flew forward three or four meters before they fell down. The remaining two enemies panicked, and they couldn't turn around to shoot while running, so they had to run forward desperately with their guns in hand. Wu Manchu saw that the two enemies had turned again, and he also chased after him and turned a 90-degree turn, and he suddenly found that he was facing a black and swarthy pit mouth, and the back of the last enemy disappeared into the pit in a flash. Wu Manchu did not hesitate, an arrow jumped up, followed by the soldier rushed into the tunnel, his eyes did not have time to adapt to the darkness, the *** in his hand was fired, someone screamed in the darkness and fell, the bullet hit the concrete wall to form a ricochet, colliding back and forth in the tunnel, splashing a little spark. He emptied the magazine, and his left hand habitually pulled out the magazine, but the broken left arm did not obey the call at all, so he quickly changed his right hand to pull out the magazine, and after such a few seconds, he was knocked down by several enemies. Wu Manchu struggled desperately to turn over, but his injured left arm made him almost faint in pain, and he felt several hands pressing him hard, making him unable to move. A thought flashed through Wu Manchu's mind: these enemies wanted to capture him alive. He suddenly felt a strong fear that he must not be captured, even if he fought to the death, it was better than being captured......

Wu Manchu had a distant cousin who was wounded and captured on the Korean battlefield, and later returned to China when the two sides exchanged prisoners of war, and the bad luck of this cousin began. He was sent to a coal mine in the northwest for labor reform, and his children and relatives were implicated, and he was not even qualified to join the army, join the party, or go to university. Fortunately, Wu Manchu and this cousin's blood relationship has already been out of the five suits, otherwise he would have been implicated. His cousin had traveled all the way to the northwest to visit his cousin, who was serving a prison sentence in a labor camp, and during the two hours of the meeting, his cousin said only one sentence over and over again: "I knew that it would affect my family, and I should have been killed in a prisoner of war camp on Geoje Island." "When my cousin came back, she remarried with her children. My cousin later died in an underground accident, and his bones were blown away while removing the squibs. Wu Manchu had heard the elders in the village talk about his cousin since he was a child, and this incident left a deep impression on him. He always believed that his cousin was a squib deliberately sounded, and when all hope of a person was dashed, it seemed superfluous to continue to live.

Wu Manchu didn't dare to think about it anymore, he still had a large group of younger brothers and sisters, their lives had just begun, and they couldn't ruin their lives because of an older brother who was captured on the battlefield. Thinking of this, Wu Manchu suddenly had a force, he shook his head suddenly, and bit the hand of an enemy, the other party screamed, and was bitten off a finger, he spit out the severed finger in his mouth with a "bah", and his right hand stretched out to his waist like lightning, he clearly remembered that before launching the attack, everyone unscrewed the cover of the grenade, pulled out the line of fire, and the ring of fire hung on the wooden handle. Wu Manchu felt a firing wire in the dark, and his hand reached to the side again, when the enemy's hand grabbed his neck again, making it difficult for him to move. At this moment, his hand finally touched another fire wire, and the two round fire rings were firmly held in the palm of his hand, and he felt a burst of relief, and his hand pulled the fire wire without hesitation......

There was a loud "boom", and flesh and blood flew in the tunnel......

When Zhong Yuemin jumped into the trench with a few soldiers, the melee between the two sides had already begun, they shot down several enemies who rushed over, several grenades flew to the dead corner of the trench at the same time, and with a few explosions, the enemy's stump and broken arm were thrown high and landed around Zhong Yuemin.

Zhong Yuemin didn't care about chasing and destroying the remnants of the enemy, he had more important things to do. He leapt up to the breastwork, raised his binoculars to look into the depths of the enemy, and several warriors guarded him with guns in the middle. In the telescope, the artillery battle between the enemy and us was in full swing, and our artillery group had an overwhelming advantage in numbers, but the accuracy of the artillery fire was greatly reduced due to the lack of artillery observers to correct the landing point. Zhong Yuemin had already been familiar with the work of instructing the direction of the artillery bombardment, and after a little observation, he discovered the enemy's artillery position, so he took the transmitter of the walkie-talkie and loudly reported a series of data. Two minutes later, our artillery fire gradually moved towards the enemy's artillery position, and Zhong Yuemin saw in the telescope that the enemy's two 122-mm howitzers were blown over by our artillery fire, and he couldn't help shouting excitedly: "Good fight!" The base gun was further offset to the east by 20 dense positions, and the fire was concentrated ......"

The shells of our artillery group swept over the 210 heights in groups and landed on the enemy's artillery positions, which were instantly enveloped in smoke and fire......

Ning Wei ran over and reported to Zhong Yuemin: "Company commander, the 210 heights have been fully occupied, and a total of 31 people from the enemy's artillery observation post and two infantry squads have been killed. ”

Zhong Yuemin still held the binoculars and asked, "Well, I know, report our losses." ”

"The task force killed 8 people, seriously wounded 3 people, and slightly injured 5 people, of which Staff Officer Zhang was seriously injured and Instructor Wu was killed ......"

Zhong Yuemin was stunned, and he grabbed Ning Wei's collar roughly: "What's the matter?" Instructor Wu, what's wrong with him? ”

Ning Wei lowered his eyelids and whispered, "When the instructor rushed into the tunnel, he was hugged by several enemies, and the instructor pulled a grenade. ”

Zhong Yuemin threw the telescope in his hand down the mountain, and he sat on the chest wall with his hands covering his face......

Ning Wei was watching him quietly on the side, Sun Xiaoping hurriedly ran over, and was about to open his mouth to report, but was stopped by Ning Wei with a gesture.

Zhong Yuemin raised his head sharply and shouted, "What's the matter?" Say it! Ning Wei noticed that his eyes were red, but there were no tears.

Sun Xiaoping said: "Report to the captain, Staff Officer Zhang's injuries are very dangerous, and the bleeding can't be stopped. Our first aid kits have all been used up, and the stretcher team will not be able to get up for a while, and I am afraid that people who have lost blood like this will not be able to do it. ”

Zhong Yuemin seemed to wake up from his trance, and he jumped off the chest wall and ran towards Zhang Haiyang.

Zhang Haiyang's injury was not fatal, but because the stretcher team could not come up, the blood from his wound could not be stopped for a while, and five first-aid kits were soaked in blood. Due to excessive blood loss, Zhang Haiyang has fallen into a coma, and his life will be in danger if he drags on any longer. Zhong Yuemin's eyes were red, and he scolded the stretcher team by name to the former commander on the intercom, and threatened that if Zhang Haiyang died, he would not shoot the captain of the stretcher team. Scolding and scolding, the stretcher team still couldn't come up for a while, Zhong Yuemin gritted his teeth and had to do evil. He ordered the warriors to light a fire and burn the dagger red, and he took the red-hot dagger and made a gesture to the warriors. The soldiers looked at each other, no one dared to make a move, Zhong Yuemin glared, the cold light in his eyes was shining, the eyes of the soldiers were flustered, they gritted their teeth and rushed over, holding Zhang Haiyang deadly. Zhong Yuemin tore open Zhang Haiyang's bandage and pressed the red-hot dagger on the wound, only to see a puff of green smoke rising from Zhang Haiyang's shoulder, and the air was filled with the smell of burnt human flesh. He struggled desperately, but was held down by the warriors and could not move.

Zhong Yuemin threw away the dagger and said coldly: "Haiyang, bear with it, don't scream like a girl, the bleeding has stopped, you can survive." ”

Zhang Haiyang was in a cold sweat, and he scolded weakly: "Yuemin, this kind of thing is what you can do, you kid is really ruthless......

After Yuan Jun was fully awake, he learned from the nurse's mouth that this border war had only been fought for 16 days. For more than ten days, he was in a coma for most of the time. The nurse told him that he had been hit by 5 pieces of shrapnel and had two broken ribs, but fortunately he did not injure major organs, but the situation was very dangerous because he had lost too much blood and was almost dead when he was sent to the temporary bandaging center, and he could not even measure his blood pressure, and it took 2,400 ml of blood to get out of danger.

After the end of the war, Sun Yong and other comrades-in-arms came to see him in the hospital and told him what happened after he was wounded. Less than 5 seconds after Yuan Jun's tank was hit that day, Sun Yong's cannon also fired, destroying the T34 tank at a distance of less than 200 meters, because the distance was too close, the T34 was badly beaten, it first burned, and then the shells in the car were detonated, and after a series of explosions, the tank completely disintegrated and turned into a pile of broken iron. No sooner had the battle ended than the tanks of the follow-up troops rushed into the town of D.

Yuan Jun said self-deprecatingly: "I only participated in this war for one day and was eliminated." ”

Sun Yong said: "Company commander, to be honest, I really underestimated you before. I've heard others say that you joined the army through the back door, and I really have a bit of a prejudice against the back door soldiers, but I didn't expect that when you went to the battlefield, you fought really fiercely. When we were ambushed, if you hadn't taken the lead, we would have been a living target. I didn't say it, I, Sun Yong, admire you, it's really nice to be a soldier under you. ”

Sun Yong told him that the regiment had already reported him for first-class merit, and he was about to be approved. Military personnel are well aware of the weight of first-class merit, and even if they have made relatively outstanding contributions on the battlefield, they may not be able to obtain the honor of first-class merit. Because most of the first-class meritorious heroes were posthumously awarded after they died in battle, there are not many first-class meritorious heroes like Yuan Jun who are still alive in the world.

As a company commander, it should be a very glorious thing to be admired by the soldiers of his own company, especially in peacetime, not every officer who is a company commander can make his soldiers admire, and only when he goes to the battlefield can he test the comprehensive quality of an officer. As a matter of fact, long before Sun Yong came, when some leaders of the army came to see Yuan Jun, they had already revealed to him that the party committee of the tank regiment had reported to the army for first-class meritorious service, and the army had also reported his name to the political department of the military region. It is said that among the company-level cadres of the entire A Army, he is the only one who has reported first-class merit. But today, these things are no longer important to Yuan Jun, this is the second time in his life that he has brushed shoulders with death, and he has come from the blood and fire of war, and he seems to have a new understanding of life, and he looks down on everything.

Yuan Jun only hoped that his injuries would heal quickly, and the first thing he had to do when he was discharged from the hospital was to visit the homes of the brothers who had died in the company one by one. The second thing was to go back to Beijing to visit relatives, because Zhou Xiaobai had already been transferred to the headquarters hospital in Beijing a year ago. Yuan Jun also wanted to write a letter to Zhong Yuemin, and if it was convenient for Zhong Yuemin, it would be best to return to Beijing to visit relatives. He misses Zhou Xiaobai and Zhong Yuemin very much, and as for Zheng Tong, he doesn't need to worry about it. In the first college entrance examination in 1977, Zheng Tong and Jiang Biyun were both admitted to the university effortlessly, and now they are both studying in Beijing. Yuan Jun didn't know if Zhong Yuemin would participate in the war this time, but he didn't worry about Zhong Yuemin at all, because Zhong Yuemin was a ghost, and he rarely suffered losses when he fought, except for a little skin on his head, he didn't even have a scar on his body, which can't but be said to be a miracle. Yuan Jun absolutely believed that even if Zhong Yuemin went to the battlefield, he would still come back vigorously, and he would not even be hurt by a single hair. There is such a person in the world, who is surprisingly lucky, in the same situation, others died 10 times, and Zhong Yuemin couldn't die.

Zhong Yuemin asked the camp instructor for leave, and he went to the hospital to accompany Zhang Haiyang for two days. After Zhang Haiyang was sent to the hospital, he was no longer in danger after blood transfusion, but he was still very weak. He was very excited when he saw Zhong Yuemin, and the first thing he said was to ask pitifully: "Yuemin, can you stay with me for a few days?" ”

Zhong Yuemin said unceremoniously: "What is this, is it what the master said?" Poor and embarrassed, you are not my wife, why do you keep worrying about letting me accompany you? ”

Zhang Haiyang's self-esteem was greatly hurt: "If you don't want to fucking accompany you, get out, Lao Tzu might as well have that time to set up magnetism with a female nurse." ”

"Hey, that's a man's words. I said, our staff officer Zhang can't be a little injured and have no manliness, isn't the wound on the shoulder, and didn't the 'second child' be knocked out. ”

Zhang Haiyang smiled: "You grandson, you don't have any good words in your mouth." How is Manho, why didn't he come to see me? ”

Zhong Yuemin was silent, he didn't know whether to tell Zhang Haiyang the news of Wu Manho's death, and wanted to wait for his injuries to heal before telling him, but Zhang Haiyang took the initiative to mention it, so he didn't know how to answer for a while. Zhong Yuemin peeled an apple and gave it to Zhang Haiyang: "Dude, eat an apple first." ”

Zhang Haiyang took the apple and took a bite: "Say, what about the hoarding?" ”

Zhong Yuemin swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said with difficulty: "Ocean, I said you don't have to be sad, in fact, when you were injured, Manho sacrificed ......"

Zhang Haiyang spit out the apple with a "poof" and cried loudly. Zhong Yuemin looked at him silently and used a hand towel to help him wipe off the apple pomace on his body.

Zhang Haiyang cried breathlessly: "How did you do it?" By that time, the battle was almost over...... I saw him jump into the trench...... You say, no one should die...... He's the breadwinner of the family...... How will this big family live in the future...... It's been 10 years, it's been 10 years together, and all of a sudden, people are gone...... Such a good person, just gone......"

Zhong Yuemin roared: "Don't cry, can you fight without dying, didn't you just pick up a life?" I'm the same, if it weren't for Tong Tielin to attract the enemy's firepower, I would have been lying on the 210 heights. Don't cry, cry so much that I ......" He didn't finish his words, and his eyes turned red.

Ning Wei was about to take family leave to return to Beijing, this day was a rest day, he asked the company commander Zhong Yuemin for leave, he wanted to go to the street to have a look, by the way to buy some souvenirs for the old mother. Zhong Yuemin immediately approved his fake, and through this raid, Zhong Yuemin appreciated Ning Wei very much, how to look at it. Ning Wei's performance on the battlefield proved that he was an excellent soldier, and his reaction speed, psychological quality, and technical and tactical level were all first-class. Zhong Yuemin believes that if several platoon commanders under him are officers of Ning Wei's level, then this company will be too easy to lead. In the post-war summary, Ning Wei was rated as a second-class meritorious service, he was the only second-class meritorious hero in the company who was not controversial, and the cadres and soldiers of the whole company thought that Ning Wei's second-class meritorious service was genuine, and Zhong Yuemin even thought that the second-class meritorious service had wronged him. He specially found the Political Department for Ning Weiti's work, and Director Li of the Political Department had already revealed to Zhong Yuemin that Ning Weiti's appointment would come down soon.

Zhong Yuemin felt that it was necessary to have a thorough understanding with Ning Wei first: "Ning Wei, I'll give you a letter first, don't sell me, Director Li of the Political Department said, your report has been reported, it is estimated that there is no big problem, and when you come back from your visit to home, it is almost time to announce it." ”

Ning Wei said: "Thank you, company commander, don't worry, I will do a good job." I think being a soldier is the best thing for me in this life, and if I leave the army, I really don't know what to do. ”

Zhong Yuemin said: "Don't thank me, I don't want to make profits and don't get up early, after the order comes down, you can bring me a row, I can save a little worry, in the future, you take my position, and I can rest assured that I will change jobs." ”

Ning Wei didn't like to listen to it: "Company commander, I really don't like to hear what you say." As the saying goes, the water is too big to go to the bridge, even if one day I become a company commander, then you may become a regiment commander, and I will always be your soldier. ”

Ning Wei's luck was really bad, it didn't take much effort when Zhong Yuemin and others were promoted, and the officers at that time could only be selected from veterans. Who knew that when Ning Wei became a veteran, the criteria for promotion had changed, and in principle, officers were no longer selected from among the soldiers. If it weren't for the special policy for the troops participating in the war this time, Ning Wei would have to go home with a roll cover, and he finally waited for the last train.

Ning Wei himself has discovered that fate is a very wonderful thing, and sometimes a small thing can make your fate reversed. He often wondered that he didn't know which true god he had offended, and fate always played a cruel joke on him at a critical moment. If he had known the result of his street today, he would not have asked for leave, and if he had played poker with his comrades in the barracks today, he might have been able to mix with the work of a division commander and brigade commander in his life, at least he would not have been kicked out of the army.

That day, Ning Wei was walking on the street with a satchel on his back, and he found a stall selling red dates, so he wanted to buy some red dates for his mother. When he was bargaining with the vendor, he heard a woman's mournful cry, and Ning Wei stood up alertly.

A woman with a cloak covered in blood stumbled and stumbled, and a burly, male-looking man caught up with a stick, and the woman with a bloody face was knocked down by the man, who continued to beat the woman with a stick, and the woman was beaten to the ground and screamed......

Ning Wei rushed up, grabbed the man's stick and roared, "Stop! Why hit someone? ”

The man tugged the stick a few times, and the stick was firmly held by Ning Wei, not moving at all. The man threw a punch in a rage and hit Ning Wei in the nose. Ning Wei's nose was bleeding, he was immediately furious, flew up and kicked the man's soft underbelly, the man screamed, flew more than 3 meters away, and fell to the ground fiercely.

Ning Wei picked up the beaten woman, but the woman suddenly slammed into Ning Wei and scolded in her mouth: "Soldier, why did you beat my man?" I'm happy to be beaten, what do you care? I'm fighting with you......"

Ning Wei didn't watch out, and was hit headfirst in the abdomen by a woman and fell......

Ning Wei's disaster this time was big, and the husband who beat his wife was kicked by him and broke 3 ribs, and his internal organs were also injured. This incident is a major issue involving military-civilian relations, and the local government and the military and political departments are very troublesome, because the woman who is used to being beaten by her husband will not give up, and she has to give an explanation from the leaders of the troops. Zhong Yuemin and Instructor Sun in the camp have been like grandsons these days, carrying fruit to the hospital every day to visit the wounded, and letting the woman count endlessly. He and Instructor Sun had smiled and had already said all the good things, but they still couldn't be forgiven. Zhong Yuemin had never suffered this kind of bird anger, he said to Instructor Sun in private: "I finally understand why she was beaten, this girl is not beaten, even I want to beat her." ”

Instructor Sun said, "Okay, Company Commander Zhong, this matter is tricky enough, so don't make trouble." From tomorrow onwards, you don't go to the hospital with me, I can already see that your fists are clenched when you say nice things to that woman with a smile, and I'm really worried that you won't be able to control it. Hmph, Ning Wei is really a good soldier you brought out. ”

After a round of arduous negotiations, the matter was finally resolved, mediated by the local government, and the army compensated a large amount of money, and the woman also put forward two additional conditions: one was to renovate the house, and the other was to ask the army to sentence Ning Wei. The first condition is to be solved, and let Zhong Yuemin take a company of soldiers to build a house. The second condition is difficult to do, it stands to reason that Ning Wei's behavior is righteous and courageous, from a legal point of view, even beating his wife is illegal, Ning Wei, as a soldier, should stand up and stop when the lives of others are threatened, and the army should also advocate and encourage this kind of behavior, the key is that Ning Wei's kick was too powerful, and he actually kicked people into serious injuries, which complicated the problem, if Ning Wei was sentenced on this basis alone, it would be difficult to do the work of the cadres and soldiers of the army, and who would dare to act bravely in the future? You can't ask the soldiers to show their marriage certificates when they stop illegal infringements.

In the end, Director Li of the Political Department personally mediated, and both sides made concessions to settle the matter. The army's commitment was to demobilize Ning Wei. The victim's side said that it could be reluctantly accepted and would not pursue it any longer.

Ning Wei's fate was changed in this way.

On the day the decision was made, Zhong Yuemin refused to be announced by him, otherwise he would also ask for a job change. After the death of Wu Manchu, the instructor of the first company, a new instructor has not yet been sent, and Zhong Yuemin has always been responsible for the work of the instructor. Instructor Sun was helpless, so he had to announce the decision to Ning Wei in a row.

Before the decision on Ning Wei's handling was announced, the soldiers of the first company blew up the nest. They all stood up with a bang, startling Instructor Sun. These soldiers who had just returned from the battlefield were very grumpy, and the cadres with slightly worse prestige couldn't restrain them at all, Instructor Sun looked at Zhong Yuemin as if asking for help, and Zhong Yuemin had to roar, and then he suppressed his position.

In a series of units, Ning Wei held his head in his hands and sat at the table in frustration, not saying a word.

Zhong Yuemin and several platoon commanders in the company stood aside.

Instructor Sun said angrily: "Ning Wei, I know you are wronged, but you don't want to think about it, even if you are righteous and brave, you have to ask clearly before you take care of it." This is good, one kick broke 3 ribs of others, people did not forgive, Director Li of the Political Department went to do the work in person, his mouth was worn out, and people still didn't do it. You Ning Wei, why don't you have any brains at all? As soon as you shoot, you can kick a small tree and break someone, can you kick people casually? You're in a big mess. ”

Zhong Yuemin said in his words: "That girl is used to being beaten, and it's uncomfortable not to be beaten, you have to be nosy, this time it's troublesome, right?" ”

The second platoon commander said: "Instructor, I can't figure this out, if I run into it, I have to take care of it, that guy beats people all over the ground with a stick, it's just murder, people with a little sense of justice will take care of it, who knows that people are two?" ”

Instructor Sun said: "Okay, second platoon leader, don't follow and make trouble, if the superiors listen to us, won't it be fine?" The problem is that none of us can say anything about this matter, it is decided by the Political Department. ”

Ning Wei suddenly cried sadly: "Company commander, instructor, I beg you, tell your superiors for me, don't let me be demobilized, I am really reluctant to leave the army, even if I don't mention it, I am willing to continue to be a soldier." ”

Zhong Yuemin couldn't bear to say: "Instructor, let's go to the Political Department to find Director Li to plead for mercy, okay?" Ning Wei is the best acting platoon commander in our company, and he is excellent in all military skills, and he has made second-class merits in this operation, and the order to promote cadres is about to come down, so he can't ruin his future like this. ”

Instructor Sun's expression was gloomy: "Ning Wei, why don't I want to keep you, I have said everything that should be said, I even took the party and military membership as a guarantee, and begged the Political Department to let you go, I guarantee that Ning Wei will learn a lesson." But this is useless, it is impossible to change the decision of the Political Department, and Director Li even criticized me. ”

Zhong Yuemin shouted emotionally: "Then that's it? A good soldier, if he commits this little thing, he will blast people out of the army? ”

The second platoon commander scolded in a low voice: "This Director Li is really fucking ......"

Instructor Sun shouted, "Shut up! Second platoon leader, I see that you are also missing a door. ”

Zhong Yuemin said sadly: "Ning Wei, I blame me for this matter, if I don't approve you for fake, there won't be this thing, I can't stand you......"

Ning Wei wiped away his tears and stood up, and said calmly: "Company commander, it's my life that is not good, I have caught up with this unfortunate thing, I have nothing to complain about, demobilize and demobilize, I accept my fate, thank you." ”

Everyone stopped talking, and everyone looked at Ning Wei with complicated expressions.

At the end of the year, a large number of veterans such as Ning Wei were demobilized, followed by a group of new recruits into the barracks. At this time, Zhong Yuemin also submitted a transfer report to his superiors, but he was rejected by his superiors and brought a criticism with him, which made him very annoyed.

Once, he went to the headquarters building to look for Zhang Haiyang, but he met Director Li of the Political Department in the corridor, Director Li and Zhong Yuemin were very familiar, he was very happy to see Zhong Yuemin, and warmly invited Zhong Yuemin to sit in his office. As soon as Zhong Yuemin saw that Director Li was in a good mood, he thought that there was an opportunity, so he repeated the old tune: "Director Li, I also want to talk to you about changing jobs." ”

Director Li restrained his smile when he heard this: "Who wants to change jobs?" ”

"I want to change jobs."

Director Li was angry: "Nonsense, talk to me about changing jobs now, you can figure it out." Being a soldier is not about visiting a park, you can come when you want, and you can leave when you want. If you want to work in the army for a long time, the organization may not let you do it, and if you don't want to do it, the organization may not agree to let you go. Zhong Yuemin, I can make it clear to you on behalf of the organization now, do you want to leave? No way, you can do it honestly for me. ”

Director Li turned around and left, and Zhong Yuemin stood there stunned.

Zhang Haiyang gloated on the side and said, "Yes, stabbed the hornet's nest, this military uniform is so easy to take off?" Do you understand what Director Li means? If you want to leave, the troops won't let you go, and when you don't want to leave, the troops should bombard you and leave. ”

Zhong Yuemin touched a gray nose at Director Li, and naturally he was not angry: "What are you gloating, aren't you also going to be transferred to the Beijing headquarters?" ”

Zhang Haiyang said: "It's no show, since my father died last year, the matter of transferring to the Beijing headquarters has become yellow, and the tea is cold as soon as people leave, and the people who promised to help now don't even answer the phone." Forget it, I don't want to tune it up, just make do with it. ”

Zhong Yuemin became excited when he heard it: "It's not tuned? Okay, report with me next year, let's change jobs together, this time you have to listen to me, if you hadn't hidden Lao Tzu's pants with Manho, why would I beg grandpa to sue grandma now......"

At the mention of Wu Manho, both of them were silent. After Manchu was killed, Zhong Yuemin and Zhang Haiyang took a lot of trouble, they got Manchu's eldest brother Mancang to the army as a soldier, but Mancang was not as lucky as his brother, he could only be a soldier for a few years before he was demobilized, and there was never any possibility of being promoted. Originally, Zhong Yuemin planned to arrange him in his own company and take care of him, but Mancang had only gone to school for one year, and he was basically illiterate. The reconnaissance detachment had relatively high requirements for soldiers, and Mancang was really not suitable to stay in the first company, so he was assigned to the engineer battalion. Zhong Yuemin and Zhang Haiyang also regularly sent some money and military uniforms to their parents, and that's all they could do.

Emotions are emotions, but work cannot be left undone, and it must be done well, Zhong Yuemin will not throw aside the work of the company because of emotions. As a result, he did a good job, and among the three companies of the reconnaissance battalion, the first company was always the first in all its work. The superiors believe that Zhong Yuemin still has a set of leading troops, although this company commander has many problems.

In the eyes of the superior commander, this guy was a typical alternative character, who rarely taught the soldiers in the tradition, and sometimes laughed at the instructor's working methods. If the soldiers were dissatisfied with the superior leaders, Zhong Yuemin would not only not stop them, but would also complain with the soldiers. After the end of the war in 1979, Zhong Yuemin was designated by the former commander to be awarded second-class meritorious service. Who knew that a few days later, the Political Department heard that someone reported that Zhong Yuemin actually gave the military merit medal to a child of the family who came to the team, and the child actually lost the military merit medal while playing. The instructor was in a hurry at that time and wanted to mobilize the whole company of soldiers to look for it, but Zhong Yuemin said lightly: "If you lose it, you will lose it, who will wear it or not?" At that time, the medals were all snatched and robbed, and I robbed other people's medals. ”

The instructor said, "Is this a medal?" It's an honor, and it's the highest honor. ”

Zhong Yuemin said: ", it's a medal, you have to like it, if you find it, you will stay, I will give it to you." ”

Director Li of the Political Department was so angry when he heard these things that he called Zhong Yuemin to the Political Department and scolded him. Zhong Yuemin looked innocent: "Director Li, it's like I lost my wallet, but the police didn't catch the thief but arrested me and asked me to take responsibility, isn't it unreasonable, who did I provoke?" ”

Zhong Yuemin also felt strange, fate always joked with people, that unlucky Ning Wei loved the profession of a soldier so much, but in the end, the army couldn't keep him, and he asked for a job several times, but the army didn't let go, not only did he not let go, but his position kept changing, first he became the deputy battalion commander, and then he was corrected and became the commander of the reconnaissance battalion. During this period, Zhong Yuemin also led reconnaissance detachments to the border areas several times to participate in round battles.

The last time Zhong Yuemin's post was adjusted was because the establishment of the military reconnaissance battalion was abolished, and the former military reconnaissance battalion under his command was changed to a special reconnaissance brigade directly under the military region, and Zhong Yuemin was appointed as the captain of the brigade. Although his position is still a full-fledged battalion, the nature of the unit under his command has undergone profound changes, and it is no longer an ordinary reconnaissance detachment in the past, but an out-and-out special forces.

After the establishment of the special reconnaissance brigade, there have been great changes in the equipment and training subjects of the special forces; in the past, including Zhong Yuemin, no one in the reconnaissance battalion had ever received parachute or airborne training, but now these training items are something that every member must master. Not only that, but the unit was also equipped with rocket-type individual aircraft and motorized parafoils, which were new equipment that the old scouts had never heard of before. As the captain of the brigade, Zhong Yuemin not only had to train the troops, but even he himself needed to be retrained, so he had to put aside the matter of changing jobs first.

At the end of 1977, Zheng Tong was admitted to the Department of History of Peking University with an absolute high score. Jiang Biyun's grades were also good, and she was admitted to the Chinese Department of Beijing Normal University as she wished.

In 1981, Zheng Tong and Jiang Biyun successfully completed their studies after four years of university life, Zheng Tong was assigned to the History Institute of the Academy of Social Sciences, and Jiang Biyun was assigned to a middle school as a Chinese teacher.

After Zheng Tong reported to the unit, the personnel department told him as usual that the newly assigned college students would have a week's vacation after reporting and could handle their personal affairs. Zheng Tong plans to use this holiday to make out with Jiang Biyun, the two have been together a lot in recent years, and they are not in the same school, so it is difficult to have time together. Zheng Tong felt that it was really difficult, he had a long-distance phone call with Zhong Yuemin, Zheng Tong complained on the phone, saying that he had simply become a monk, living a life of morning bells and dusk drums, pure heart and few desires. Zhong Yuemin on the other side of the phone became angry when he heard it: "You are still a monk, what the hell am I going to be?" I'm about to fucking neutral, I can't even see sows in the barracks, let alone women. Grandson, be content. ”

Zheng Tong told his sister: "Let's all match the table, it's 9 o'clock in the morning, from now on, until 22 o'clock, no one is allowed to come back even if someone lives at home, do you hear?" ”

Sister Zheng Lan sarcastically said: "Brother, I see that your eyes are glowing green, just like an old wolf who has been hungry for a long time." ”

Zheng Tong said calmly: "That's right, your brother and I have been hungry for more than ten years, and of course my eyes are green." ”

Zheng Tong made a lot of preparations for today's tryst, but he didn't succeed in the end. Jiang Biyun called: "Zheng Tong, are you interested in seeing the art exhibition?" ”

"Then we have to see what level of art exhibition it is, if it's a New Year's painting, a paper-cut or something, just forget it."

"Tell you, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, the exhibition of paintings from the Louvre Museum in France will end in two days, will you go?"

"Go!" Zheng Tong immediately jumped up from the sofa, "Originally, I planned to have a good relationship with you today, but I didn't expect to catch up with the Louvre's collection of paintings." That's it, that's it, let's go to the art exhibition, that kind of thing can be made up in the future, if you miss the Louvre's collection of paintings, but there is no place to make up for it. ”

For some reason, the Louvre's collection of paintings was not held in an art museum, but in the Beijing Exhibition Center, and there was a long queue in front of the ticket window. When Zheng Tong and Jiang Biyun arrived, the long line was 500 meters, and after the two lined up, Zheng Tong remembered the past when they lined up to buy ballet tickets in 1968.

There are a lot of people in the exhibition hall, it seems that they are more knowledgeable people, they know the artistic value of the paintings in the Louvre, and they also know that the opportunity is rare, maybe there is only one chance in this life, after all, there are not many people who can go to Paris to visit the Louvre. Zheng Tong and Jiang Biyun looked very carefully, Zheng Tong looked at it and scolded people, he thought that the management of the Louvre was fooling the Chinese people, the most famous paintings were not brought, only some two or three types of works were exhibited, such as the most famous "Mona Lisa" is actually a replica, and a replica sculpture of Michelangelo's "David" was also exhibited, saying that it is a replica is held high, the original is carved from granite, even if you use granite to carve another one as it is, let us have nothing to say, but this replica is actually cast with plaster. Zheng Tong was greatly annoyed, the real work of this sculpture is erected in a square in Florence, Italy, and it is not the collection of your Louvre, what kind of big tail eagle did you run here to? Even if you bring Louis XVI's toilet, as long as it is genuine, it is still a cultural relic, is there such a fool?

In this exhibition, only the famous work "The Death of Marat" by the French neoclassical painter David is the most famous oil painting, it is difficult to say whether it is authentic, but at least it is not marked as a copy. The picture shows Marat lying naked in the tub, blood gushing out of the wound, and the dead Marat with a look of despair on his face.

A middle-aged man in a suit and several young people stood in front of the oil painting to comment on his voice, as if a teacher from an art academy was explaining to his students. So Zheng Tong and Jiang Biyun also became his students, and the two honestly stood aside to listen to the teacher's explanation.

"I think the image of Marat on the picture was created by the author according to Marat's real appearance, because David and Marat were contemporaries. The Great Health was in 1748 and was 45 years old by the time of Marat's assassination in 1793. Note that he was only 5 years younger than Marat, and Marat was a celebrity in Paris at the time, often speaking at mass meetings, almost all the citizens of Paris had seen him, and the painter David was obviously familiar with Marat's appearance, and fortunately David painted him, otherwise how would we know what Marat looked like today? At that time, cameras had not yet been invented. David is a representative of French neoclassicism, a member of the Royal Academy, and his early works also have a rococo style, which later switched to classicism, which are his most important works. Students, please see, this oil painting successfully combines the depiction of portraiture, historical accuracy and sublime tragedy with extremely concise classical techniques, and effectively highlights the heroic characteristics of this 'friend of the people', and has become a monumental masterpiece of realist history painting......"

Zheng Tong suddenly whispered: "Mistaken children......"

The teacher and several of the students all looked at Zheng Tong, and it was clear from their eyes that they were expressing a silent anger at the bespectacled, well-mannered man.

Zheng Tong said to Jiang Biyun casually: "Let's go, the air here is suffocating." ”

The two had just taken a few steps when the teacher behind them spoke: "That gentleman, please stay." ”

Zheng Tong and Jiang Biyun stopped and turned around.

"Sir, please explain what you have just said, I don't know where I offended you and caused you to react so rudely."

Zheng Tong held his glasses: "You really want to know?" ”

"Of course."

"Well, first of all, I have to apologize to you, please forgive me for being disrespectful, I'm sorry. But what you just said about Marat to your students is very unpleasant, and frankly, you are misleading. ”

"Oh, I want to hear about it."

"On what basis do you think Marat is a hero? I think he was nothing more than a bloodthirsty man, and apart from being loved by the mob of the French Revolution, the slightest rational person thought Marat was an executioner. Speaking of heroes, I think it should be the one who assassinated Marat - Charlotte Corday, she is the hero. ”

A female student said: "Sir, I don't know much about the French Revolution, which the textbooks say was the most thorough bourgeois revolution, and Marat was one of the leaders of the Jacobins at that time, a hero known as the 'Friends of the People.'" If you have a different opinion, you can discuss it with us. ”

"Well, first of all, I would like to make it clear that the 'Friend of the People' is not the title of Marat, but a newspaper founded by Marat in 1789. Yes, "Friends of the People" speaks for the people at the bottom, but because of its irrationality, it also instigates the destruction of the people at the bottom, and finally evolves into mob politics. After 1790, Marat began to abandon his original ideals of liberty and equality in favor of dictatorship and advocate revolutionary terror, at which point killing became the main goal. 1793 was a watershed year in the French Revolution, the leaders of the Jacobins, Robespierre, Marat, Danton and others began to purge the opposition, overthrow the Girondists, and Marat took over the **, established the Public Safety Committee, and began the bloody reign of terror. During this period, about 400,000 people were put to death, and without normal trial procedures, a single false accusation by anyone could send an innocent citizen to the guillotine. You ought to be glad that you did not live in that era, or you would have been guillotined as nobles by virtue of your temperament, of their manners, of their dress, of their concerns, and of their manner of conversation. It would be terrible to decide a person's life and death only from the likes and dislikes of the people at the bottom of the people. We can make an absurd assumption that if Mr. Marat had been resurrected, and his bloodthirsty vices had not changed, he was now hiding in a hutong in Beijing writing for the Friends of the People. Mr. Marat stubbornly believes that the people who come to visit the exhibition today are enemies of the people, because their hobby is incompatible with the thoughts and feelings of the people at the bottom, and they come from a suspicious background, even if they are not nobles, they will not come from the people. If killing these unfortunate people can make humanity happy, then why not? I wonder if you are willing to be the sacrificial lamb for the sake of human happiness. ”

The teacher retorted disapprovingly: "Treat history by its consequences, don't you think that Marat and Robespierre brought the voice of democracy and freedom to the world, and promoted the process of democratization of the whole of Europe in the future?" ”

Zheng Tong said: "I'm sorry that you confuse the concept, it was the French Revolution that promoted the process of democratization in Europe, not Marat and others, who were just representatives of a period of bloody tyranny during the French Revolution." The tyrannical rule of the Jacobins lasted only a little more than a year, and Marat and others had become a bloody collective criminal syndicate. They call on people to rise up and slaughter, they kindle the flames of hatred among people, they incite people to extreme anarchist fanaticism, they deprive innocent citizens of their liberty in the name of freedom, they slaughter nobles in the name of equality, they trample on the law in the name of national security, they trample on the dignity of human beings, they trample on the supreme right to life of mankind. As for the assessment of the French Revolution, I agree with one historian who argues that as far as France was concerned at the time, it was a tyranny against human rights. We should evaluate a historical event not by whether it brings good news to the future and to bystanders, but by whether it brings benefits to the people of its own region and time at that time, because human rights refer to the human rights of the time and the place, not to the human rights of the future or the human rights of the bystanders. ”

The teacher said, "But...... Sir, from the historical material I have come across about the French Revolution, it does not show in the slightest the bloodiness of what you say, but only the masses that sent King Louis XVI and Queen Louis XVI to the guillotine......"

Zheng Tong interrupted him unceremoniously: "So I think you are misleading people's children, you must understand that textbooks can only represent one point of view, not necessarily the truth of history." Why don't you read more of it? Books such as Migne's "History of the French Revolution", Hobbes's "Leviathan", and Bollore's "The Evil of Politics" have all been translated in China. ”

"Wait, allow me to write down the title of the book, I'll read it before I come to my own opinion, so what you just said can only be yours."

"I appreciate your academic attitude at this time. By the way, depending on your age, you were already a teacher at the beginning of the '**', right? ”

"I had only been working for two years," he says.

"Have you been touched to the soul by movement? Have you ever been violently attacked? ”

"Of course, most of the teachers at that time were doomed, and it was inevitable to be beaten and beaten."

"Then I remind you that if you still consider the advocates and bloodthirsty of mob politics to be heroes, and continue to indoctrinate this opinion in the students, you will inevitably be beaten in the future. A healthy society should be a society governed by the rule of law and a society that values human dignity and life. I'm sorry for being a bit harsh, please don't mind. ”

Zheng Tong and Jiang Biyun walked away.

Just as Zhong Yuemin was busy changing jobs, Yuan Jun unexpectedly found that sometimes pies would fall from the sky.

The phone at the headquarters of the 3rd Tank Battalion suddenly rang at two o'clock in the night, and Yuan Jun sat up from the bed suddenly. He grabbed the phone: "Hey, I'm Yuan Jun, the commander of the third battalion." ”

Zhou Xiaobai's low voice came from the phone: "Yuan Jun, I'm Zhou Xiaobai." ”

Yuan Jun asked in surprise, "Where are you?" ”

"I'm in the hospital duty room, Yuan Jun, I want to ask you a word."

"Say it."

"You told me before that you wanted to move our relationship forward, is this sentence still valid?"

Yuan Jun became serious: "Of course, it will always work." ”

"Okay, now I agree, Yuan Jun, let's get married."

Yuan Jun opened his mouth in surprise: "Marriage? Right away? Isn't it too rushed? ”

"Don't you want to? If you don't want to, you can say it clearly. ”

"That's not what I mean, of course I can't ask for it, the problem is that I'm not mentally prepared at all, because a few minutes ago you and I were still ordinary friends, and you suddenly offered to be my fiancée, and you didn't even give me time to get used to it, why do I feel like I'm dreaming?"

Zhou Xiaobai said softly: "How many years have we known each other, do we need to know each other again?" You proposed it to me before, and I said that I should think about it, but now that I have considered it maturely, you feel that it is sudden again, or let's pretend that we have just met each other and contact it for a few more years? ”

Yuan Jun hurriedly said: "I didn't say I didn't want to, why are you unhappy again?" You've got to ask me for leave, right? I'm the commander of a battalion, can I just go? I'll go to the head of the regiment immediately to ask for leave, it should be no problem, I haven't taken my home leave this year. ”

"Okay, you ask for leave immediately, I'll wait for you."

Yuan Jun put down the phone and was stunned for a while.

The camp instructor who had just been woken up rubbed his eyes and asked, "What's wrong?" Something happened at home? ”

Yuan Jun replied thoughtfully: "Something happened, something was wrong." ”

Jiang Biyun looked back after walking far away and found that the teacher and several students were still looking at them.

"Zheng Tong, I was afraid of showing cowardice just now, so I was embarrassed to ask. I've also read "History of the French Revolution", why don't I remember Charlotte Corday, who assassinated Marat, at all? ”

It was a 24-year-old girl with a traditional education, who was familiar with the classics of Voltaire and Rousseau, and who decided that a republic was the only way to transform France, and that the bloody horrors of the Jacobins were destroying the revolution, so she decided to kill Marat. When she came to Marat's apartment, Marat was sitting in the bathtub taking a medicinal bath, this guy didn't talk like that, and let a big girl in the family enter the door naked, did you have any other ideas, the history books didn't say, Cordai was a beautiful woman. As a result, Corday killed Marat with a single sword, and finally he was guillotined. ”

Jiang Biyun pondered: "The key is how much of a role Corty's assassination has on history itself. ”

Zheng Tong said: "It is true that it is not very useful, and she thinks that the assassination of Marat can save the republic, but in fact it does not help, because tyranny is not tied to one person, but to a party and the riot situation of the republic." But Corday's motives and actions are undoubtedly a heroic feat of sacrificing one's life. ”

"Is this girl beautiful?"

"It is said to be beautiful, and when Corday stood in the carriage carrying her to the execution ground, a man named Pierre Notlet witnessed this scene in the crowd watching along the way, and Corday's image lingered in his mind for a long time and did not disappear. He later recalled: 'Corday's beautiful face was as calm as a statue, and I had fallen in love with her. 'Look, isn't it romantic?' In a bloody storm, a romantic love that is out of reach. ”

Jiang Biyun muttered: "The blood is romantic, it's very shocking." ”

"Yes, blood romance, we all seem to have lived through that era." Zheng Tong replied softly in a whisper, his body trembling a little.

"Zheng Tong......" Jiang Biyun called softly.

"Well, what's wrong?" Zheng Tong turned around and asked.

"Let's get married." Jiang Biyun's eyes glistened with tears.

Zheng Tong's eyes were also moist, he opened his arms and hugged Jiang Biyun and whispered, "My dear, I have been looking forward to this day for a long time." ”
