Chapter 22: The Tenacious Little Poplar
When Zeng Zhiwen's family walked into the street wearing white shirts and black gauze on their arms, they found that the street was already full of people, people were silent, lined up, and spontaneously walked towards the 145th Regiment Zhiqing Forest in the north of the city.
"Let's go along!" Zeng Zhiwen said. The family also slowly walked towards the north of the city with the flow of people. About an hour later, everyone came to the Educated Youth Forest, where about 50,000 people stood neatly at the place where Premier Zhou met with Zhang Yulan and 11 other Shanghai educated youths.
Zhang Yulan took out 4 white flowers from the cloth bag she was carrying, and handed them to Zeng Zhiwen, Zeng Xiangyang, and Zeng Xianghong, Zeng Jing, who was holding Zeng Zhiwen in his arms, reached out to take the white flowers, Zhang Yulan quickly took out another one from the bag and handed it to her. Zeng Jing grabbed the white flower with her little hand and held it in her hand like a sister.
When it was the turn of a family of five to mourn, the host recognized Zhang Yulan and said, "Comrade Zhang, you are here!" Zhang Yulan raised her eyes to take a closer look, and shouted in surprise: "Political Commissar Zhang, hello!" Zhang Zhonghan stretched out his hand to shake hands with Zhang Yulan, and also shook hands with Zeng Zhiwen. Political Commissar Zhang said heavily: "On July 5, 65, the prime minister talked and took a group photo with you 11 Shanghai educated youths here, today you brought your family to see off the prime minister, I believe the prime minister will be very pleased to see you so good now!"
At this time, thousands of miles away at the Tasti outpost, all 32 commanders and fighters of the third platoon of a certain border guard unit where Zeng Xiangjun was stationed lined up to face the fluttering five-star red flag, all took off their military hats and mourned for a minute, and lowered the national flag to half-mast to express their deep sorrow for the death of Premier Zhou!
In front of the barracks, behind the windbreak, the small aspen swayed in the wind, tenaciously alive, witnessing all the changes that had taken place at the outpost!
A few days later, the observation post reported to the platoon commander Li Wei that he had found a new situation for the Soviet army opposite, and after receiving the report, Li Wei immediately came to the observation post, and through the high-powered observation glass, he found that the Soviet army post on the opposite side seemed to be very busy, and more than a dozen people were clearing stones and leveling the ground in a large open space next to the post, Li Wei scratched his head, and he couldn't figure out what the Soviet army was doing, after thinking about it, he ordered: "The three of you take turns to observe, you can't interrupt, if you find a new situation, notify me immediately!"
The three soldiers agreed in unison, and Li Wei thought about it for a while and decided to discuss the matter with political commissar Zhu Zhi. Zhu Zhi was wearing thick glasses, looking at the learning experience handed over to him by Zeng Xiangjun, and when he saw Li Wei entering the house, he hurriedly put down his learning experience, poured a cup of happiness for Li Wei, and said apologetically: "Lao Li, I'm sorry, the tea is gone, I can only ask you to drink boiled water!" Li Wei smiled, not politely, picked up the teacup, and told Zhu Zhi what he had just observed. After Zhu Zhi listened, he picked up the pen, paced in the room, rhythmically tapped the palm of his hand with the pen, suddenly thought of something, sat down, wrote and drew on the paper, and finally said to Li Wei who was staring at him: "Lao Li, the situation is not good, the Soviet army should be building an improvised helicopter take-off and landing platform, and it is estimated that it is going to increase troops!" At the same time, it increases the ability of helicopters to lift supplies by air, killing two birds with one stone! Hearing this, Li Wei gasped!
