"I'm not a RMB, I can make everyone like it" How do you say this sentence? It's a bit rogue but it makes sense.
Everyone likes the RMB. It’s not enough to like it. Many people even make big mistakes because of it. However, in 1982, after a director of Sichuan was stolen from his home, the one who was most nervous and worried that he couldn’t find it was not the RMB that everyone liked.
Even if this is the life-saving money prepared by the family for his father, it is an iron box that seems inconspicuous to others, then what treasure does this iron box contain that makes the director so nervous?
1. Go to the army as I wish, and don’t retreat at the first time on the battlefield
. The matter starts with the identity of this director. The director is named Xu Kailiang, from Wuxi County, Sichuan Province. He was born in the era of warlords fighting. He first witnessed the War of Resistance Against Japan and the War of Liberation. Xu Kailiang, who lived in the war for a long time, had a heart to join the army and serve the country.
is just for parents, the safety of their children is the most important thing.
As the saying goes, One success will lead to thousands of bones undulating . Once you go to the battlefield, who can guarantee that you will escape unstoppable?
Because he was worried about Xu Kailiang's safety, Xu's parents decisively rejected Xu Kailiang's proposal. Xu Kailiang, who was determined to serve the country, did not give up this idea because of his parents' rejection. On the contrary, the more his parents opposed him, the more they wanted to join the army.
Slowly, this thought is like a sapling, taking root and sprouting in your mind, growing vigorously, and never forgetting each other.
Finally, Wuxi, Sichuan was liberated, and Xu Kailiang once again expressed his idea of joining the army. This time, Xu's parents looked at Xu Kailiang with a firm expression and could not say the three words "disagree".
As I wish, Xu Kailiang saw the cruelty of the war for the first time on the battlefield of 's southwest bandit suppression . His comrades who were still joking with him the day before were now separated by yin and yang.
Looking at the battlefield flying with flesh and blood, facing the sacrifice of his comrades, Xu Kailiang was sad but did not feel any timid, but instead made a sense of courage surge in his heart.
Xu Kailiang, who saw the cruelty of war, understood more deeply the meaning of "sweat more during training and leave less blood on the battlefield". For this reason, Xu Kailiang was particularly serious during training and had to do the best in every project.
is gold always shining, not to mention a piece of "gold" that works very hard and progressively. Xu Kailiang, who happened to be a new recruit, was like a piece of gold that shining. He was discovered and appreciated by the army leaders and promoted to the deputy squad leader of the 7th squad of the 20th Army.
2. Unforgettable for a lifetime of " Ice Sculptures Connect "
As the southwest battlefield came to an end, Xu Kailiang's troops also entered a state of rest and recuperation.
At this time, Xu Kailiang was in his passionate time. The rest and training for several months made him feel a little uncontrollable. Xu Kailiang, who was determined to go to the battlefield to fight again, found the army leader and asked when he could go to the battlefield to fight again.
For this reason, the army leader had a special conversation with him. After the conversation, Xu Kailiang corrected his attitude and trained carefully, hoping to deliver a better answer on the battlefield in the future.
At this time, the young and energetic Xu Kailiang did not expect that the battle would be so unforgettable, making him dare to silently miss his comrades in the dark, but he would never mention it with others again.
It is here that Xu Kailiang encountered the battle that he would never forget for life - the famous Battle of Changjin Lake.
With the popularity of the movie " Changjin Lake ", this battle has become more and more familiar. It is said that art comes from life, and the heroic level of this battle is much more tragic than that of the movie "Changjin Lake".
In this battle, Xu Kailiang had to face not only the well-equipped enemy troops, but also the extremely cold weather that happened once in a century in North Korea.
The cold in the north is unimaginable and cannot adapt to Xu Kailiang, who was born in , south of .
However, even in the face of such a powerful enemy, Xu Kailiang and his comrades still did not retreat at all.
was a little better at first. Although the long journey made the soldiers tired and cold, they could still fill their stomachs.
Later, the supplies the soldiers carried were no longer enough to fill their stomachs. What was even more terrifying was that in order to better wait for the opportunity to ambush the enemy, they lay in the snow and ice, unable to move.
At minus 40 degrees Celsius, the wind and snow turned into swords again and again, the flesh and blood of the soldiers of Lingchi, but the soldiers were like the ice sculptures in the ice and snow, lying motionlessly waiting for the sound of the charge .
Finally, three days passed, and the charge horn sounded. The moment he heard the charge horn, Xu Kailiang was ready to rush out without thinking.
That is, at that moment, he found that his comrades around him had transformed into ice and snow at some point, and he really became an ice sculpture in ice and snow.
Hot tears flowed from Xu Kailiang's eyes. This was the first time he felt the heat in so many days. The temperature that originally made people feel comfortable now makes him feel heart-wrenching.
But he knew that the battle was not over yet, and he couldn't stop his sadness. He wiped the only heat with his cold hands and rushed out with his gun....
The battle was over, and Xu Kailiang made military achievements again. However, this time, Xu Tianliang was not happy, but his heart was so painful that he was unconscious.
Looking at the more than 100 ice sculptures on the battlefield, Xu Tianliang burst into tears. He saw the soldiers who turned into ice sculptures still holding steel guns in their hands and looking ahead. It seemed that as soon as the charge sounded in the next second, they would rush out to fight.
3. On the front line of life and death, the battle of the gods
The warriors have died, and the war is still continuing. Not long after, Xu Kailiang ushered in his battle of the gods. However, the tragic level of this battle is comparable to the battle of the Changjin Lake. Xu Kailiang also experienced the front line of life and death in this battle. One day in June, a heavy fog suddenly appeared in the air with a visibility of less than 100 meters. The enemy used the cover of the heavy fog to sneak around the rear of Xu Kailiang's troops for a sneak attack. Soon, the two sides exchanged fire.
At that time, the 7th squad where Xu Kailiang was located was to occupy the mountain peak on the left side of the army to block the enemy.
However, at this time, the mountain on the left had long been occupied by the enemy, and he was not timid in the face of the well-equipped enemy Xu Kailiang and his comrades.
At that time, 7th squad was divided into three groups to counterattack. Under the cover of his comrades, Xu Kailiang led 2 groups to quickly occupy the top of the mountain. However, the radio station in Xu Kailiang's group was smashed in the battle, which led to Xu Kailiang's inability to get in touch with the company. It was for this reason that Xu Kailiang was on the front line of life and death...
Xu Kailiang, who had successfully occupied the top of the mountain at this time, had no time to think so much. After a simple assignment, he immediately took people to support the group where the squad leader Liu Rongzhen was, but what he didn't know was that Liu Rongzhen had already died in the enemy's second charge.
Xu Kailiang, who successfully joined the group 1, felt as if he had been cut off after receiving the news of the squad leader's sacrifice, but the squad leader had already sacrificed. As the deputy squad leader, Xu Kailiang became the backbone of the whole class.
He turned his grief into strength and shouted the slogan of avenging the squad leader, and led his comrades to continue to restrain the enemy on the position and prevent the enemy from pushing forward.
What makes people feel heartbroken is that although Xu Kailiang led the 7th squad to complete the task, the whole class only survived Xu Kailiang and a young soldier, and all the other soldiers were sacrificed.
After the soldiers died, he and the young soldier gritted their teeth, broke through their physical limits and kept repelling the enemy's charge for nearly 7 hours. Finally, the enemy gave up the attack without knowing how many people were stationed on the hill.
This battle also made Xu Kailiang extremely tired, and was seriously injured and passed by the god of death.
In this battle, Xu Kailiang wiped out more than 40 enemies and was awarded the title of "Level 2 Combat Hero".
At this time, Xu Kailiang had a deeper understanding of the words "One general succeeds and thousands of bones are undone". In his heart, it was the sacrificed comrades who fulfilled their honor.
The person who really deserves these honors should not be him but his comrades. After retiring, Xu Kailiang arranged to work at the Wuxi County Broadcasting Bureau in Sichuan. He worked diligently and refused to mention the glory of the past.
4. A thief entered the house, which opened the secret that Xu Kailiang had hidden for many years. One day in 1982, he returned home from get off work as usual, but found that the clean and tidy house in the past was messy at this time, and his wife changed her past dignity and tears continued to shed.
What's wrong with this? Have you been in a thief?
Xu Kailiang couldn't help but think, and the facts were indeed as Xu Kailiang thought.
After comforting his wife carefully, Xu Kailiang learned from his wife's words that there was indeed a thief at home, and stole the 2,500 yuan he had treated Xu's father and the iron box he used to regard as life as his life.
Xu Kailiang staggered when he heard this, and calmed down under his wife's care, and came to the Public Security Bureau to call the police.
"That iron box is very important, we must find it even more."
Faced with Xu Kailiang's word-by-word plea, the public security comrade comforted Xu Kailiang while feeling very curious.
According to Xu Kailiang's wife, Xu's father is seriously ill and hospitalized. The 2,500 yuan is a life-saving money that the family can't get together. Why does Xu Kailiang seem to care more about that iron box? What exactly is inside the iron box
? Is it worth Xu Kailiang's attention?
It turns out that the iron box contains nothing else, but Xu Kailiang's medal of honor.
Different from others' opinions, these medals of honor are not his own, but belong to him and all his sacrificed comrades. Even those who died have a greater proportion, and he is just a custodian.
says that people die like a lamp extinguished. Although his comrades lie in the martyrs' cemetery, their heroic deeds have been passed down from generation to generation.
In Xu Kailiang's view, what is spread now is only one of their names and their spiritual deeds.
After a long time, no one will remember the voice, appearance and smile of his comrades. They will not remember that they are just a big boy who occasionally gets lazy during training and will shiver in their eyes when they see delicious food;
No one will remember that they will laugh loudly and cry loudly; no one will remember that they are not afraid of pain, cold, or fearful, but people who are flesh and blood, occasionally fearful, miss home, and miss mother.
Every time he sees these medals, he seems to be able to see his comrades throwing away all the timid, helplessness and pain in his heart, turning into "steel warriors" to defend their country, and seeing them see their sacrifices through the clouds in exchange for peace and stability in the country.
seems to see them in another world, eating full food, wearing warm clothes, and doing what they should do at this age.
As for the 2,500 yuan life-saving money from my father, he believed that the police would help him find it. Secondly, even if the money could not be found, he would always be able to make up for it if he gave up his face and asked and borrowed it. However, if the medal was lost, he could never find it again.
When the public security comrade learned that the person in front of him turned out to be the fighting hero of the past, the inconspicuous iron box contained a "priceless treasure" medal of honor, and couldn't help but feel respect.
Soon, the thief was caught, and the 2,500 yuan life-saving money was quickly found by the comrades from the Public Security Bureau.
Just based on the thief's explanation, he lost it when he saw that there was no valuable property in the iron box. This sentence made everyone furious and quickly searched for the place where the thief threw the iron box.
Hard work pays off. After everyone's efforts, the iron box containing infinite honor was finally found.
After the Sichuan Military Region learned about this, it sent someone to give me a gift to express my condolences. Until this moment, the people around Xu Kailiang realized that Xu Kailiang actually hid such a thick vest and said bluntly that he was too low-key.
Every time I saw Xu Kailiang and others retire successfully and spend their lives in obscurity, I didn’t understand why they did this and why they were so low-key.
Why do they have to work so hard on themselves so hard for the New China and the people?
Later, I gradually realized that perhaps only in this way can their hearts be "salvated".
is "redemption". In our eyes, they are heroes and the most respectable people, but in their hearts, their sacrificed comrades are the real heroes and the truly respectable people.
All the praise they enjoyed should belong to those comrades who died. The reason they got all this is because they were lucky than their comrades and survived.
So, they felt guilty in their hearts, and they hid themselves. Every time the night came and the night was quiet, they dared to remember their comrades in their hearts.
But no matter what they think, in our hearts they are all heroes, those who sacrificed warriors are heroes, and those who survive are also heroes.
Without them, there would be no happy life and death, we would not have the happy life we are now. Each of them is worthy of our respect and admiration and is a role model for our younger generation to learn from forever.
