The plainclothes team of Huayang Town
In early February 1971, according to the unified arrangement of the labor and salary department of the Wuye Construction Company, the first batch of educated youths who had just been transferred from the countryside to the city reported to the labor and salary department and rested at home for two days to tidy up their things. He adjusted his emotions.
Two days later, I took my simple luggage and carried my own backpack to the large sports field of the Wuye Children's School. There were already hundreds of new workers gathered here. Our group of people are all educated youths from the vast world of the countryside. The same fate and generally similar experiences brought us, the educated youths, together. The field had long become a sea of jubilation. Regardless of whether we had known each other before, we were all educated youths from the vast world. As long as the educated youths gathered together, there was no way to stop whispering.
The soldier in the military uniform with a red collar badge on his head held a microphone in his hand and shouted loudly to everyone. It took a lot of effort to finally force everyone's enthusiasm back to the normal order of the conference. The military representative announced,""From today onwards, the 1971 New Worker Training Class of Wuye will begin. Your first lesson is to walk more than 20 kilometers. From here, they would march on foot to Hua Yang. The team was about to set off. Their destination was the training compound of Huayang Town in Shuangliu. Make it clear to everyone that there is no car to take you there. This 20-kilometer journey. It was neither near nor far. "We believe that you people have all been trained in the vast world of the countryside. It shouldn't be a problem for him to walk such a short distance. It's more than 20 kilometers to Huayang Town on foot. You're required to arrive within four hours. In order to facilitate learning and management in future training, the company has decided to group all of you present into four companies according to the organizational rules of the army. Each company had three platoons, and each platoon had three squads. A total of five hundred people…"
At the meeting, the company commanders, platoon leaders, and squad leaders were announced. And the name list of each company and each squad. The old employees, professional military officers, and workers from the company served as the platoon leaders of each company in the training class. The squad leaders of each class were selected from the new educated workers. Perhaps it was because I had participated in the county's representative meeting of the active people who studied the works of the head of the Mao family in Hongya County, I was recognized by the relevant departments of the company as an educated youth with good performance. I was appointed as the class leader of the second company's eighth class. My class, including me, is made up of ten educated youths. They came from remote mountainous areas such as Jiajiang, Emei, Ebian, and Hongya.
After the meeting ended, the new workers began to set off. The 500-strong team of students formed into two columns according to the company's arrangement. They left the large field of the Wuye Academy in a grandiose manner. They walked out of the gate and set off towards Huayang Town in Shuangliu County.
As the team moved forward, they attracted the attention of many pedestrians. This team was very strange. They were dressed in all kinds of clothes and obviously did not look like soldiers. However, they all carried neat backpacks and their pace was not much different from that of soldiers. Two female companies held the flag and walked in front, while two male companies followed closely behind. There were no words on the flag, nor were there any unit names. It was precisely because there were no symbols that added a lot of mystery to the 500-plus people team. In the slow lane of the city, this team caused many curious speculations from the citizens.
The team of nearly a hundred people walked out of the city and stepped on the simple road to Huayang. After walking for a few miles, they stopped by the roadside to rest. He rested for a while before moving forward. He walked and stopped. After three and a half hours of walking, we finally arrived at our destination. Along the way, we chatted and basically got to know all the educated youths in the Second Company and Third Platoon. They could be considered to have made friends.
The new worker training class in Huayang Town was conducted in a closed learning environment according to the unified arrangement of the construction company. No one was allowed to leave the training class. Every day, he studied the People's Daily's 1971 New Year's Day editorials and the sayings of the head of the Mao family. He studied from morning to night. The study was organized in units of each class. The students of each class were highly concentrated. Everyone ate together, studied together, and lived together every day. Our dormitory has been highly utilized. The study room, dormitory, and activity venue are all here.
According to the rules of the military, the new worker training class in Huayang Town had to go out in the morning for strict formation training.
Every day, before dawn, sharp whistles would ring out in the training class courtyard early in the morning. Then, there would be the sound of commands being shouted one after another." Stand at attention,"" Look right,"" Look left,"" Count off,"" Turn left,"" Run."
Then, he saw the students 'teams running in rows from the courtyard, through the streets and alleys of Huayang Town, to the beach area by the river outside the town. Regardless of rain or wind. It was unshakable. He had always insisted on training in formation. They trained for half an hour every morning at the riverbank. After that, they would run through the streets of Huayang Town and return to the training class compound.
We educated youths have received formation training in school in the past. We have a certain foundation. After a few days of training and learning, everyone's formation is already quite good. In the eyes of outsiders, the formation training in our training class is already quite good. I remember once, Director Sun of the Military Administration of the Wuye Construction Company came to inspect the work and watched the formation training of our training class with great interest. "This unit is well-trained," he said with satisfaction.”
Every morning, our team would run through the streets and alleys of Huayang Town. The neat and dignified footsteps would often attract many adults and children to watch along the street."This might be a team that withdrew from the front line. I don't know where these plainclothes teams withdrew from to rest.”
One day after dinner, the literature and art propaganda team of Wuye Construction Company came to our training class to express their condolences and perform the modern model opera,"White-haired Girl." Some local ruffians and f * ckers on the streets of Huayang Town gathered at the entrance of the theater where the performance was being held to provoke us. They wanted to take the opportunity to cause trouble. The senior leaders of the training class repeatedly warned us not to pay attention to them to avoid causing trouble.
No matter how much we tried to control ourselves, the worrisome things still happened. Platoon Leader Zhang of the Third Platoon was threatened by a group of local ruffians when he was maintaining order at the entrance of the theater. After receiving the news, we were all very anxious. We didn't have time to ask the leaders for instructions and had to act immediately. At this moment, the seventh class monitor shouted,"It's too late to ask for instructions. We have to act immediately. Second Company, Third Platoon, gather immediately.”
In less than half a minute, our entire platoon of educated youths gathered and lined up. The seventh squad leader acted as the platoon leader and shouted," Turn left. Target the street outside the theater. Mission: rescue our platoon leader." The entire platoon was lined up and running forward. Let's go." The entire platoon of educated youth students immediately started running. With a neat and powerful running sound, it didn't take long for them to catch up to this group of ruffians. At that time, none of us attacked these bad guys, but our neat and dignified formation had already surrounded them. Dozens of angry pairs of eyes stared at them in unison. The well-trained footsteps sounded in unison, causing the ground of Huayang Street to rumble.
This group of ruffians and f * ckers had never seen such a scene before. At this moment, a team of reinforcements appeared on the street in front of us. Almost the entire training class was here. Second Company, First Platoon, Second Platoon. Three platoons in a row. Even the two female companies were mobilized. The dignified and orderly footsteps came from different directions of Huayang Street. The voices of the slogans were neat and loud, and the footsteps were approaching from far away. The reinforcements of the educated youth had already appeared at the corner of the street. The dignified formation and orderly footsteps were getting closer and closer to our Third Platoon. An even larger encirclement was formed.
It was impossible for them to escape. They wanted to fight, but they didn't have the courage. These local ruffians had been completely intimidated by our majestic and orderly formation. They had never seen such a scene before. All they could do now was to obediently put the sticks in their hands on the ground, kneel on the ground in panic, and shout in a mess,"Forget it. Masters, please spare us.”He kept kowtowing and begging for mercy.
We rescued the platoon leader and put this gang of hooligans in our ranks. We escorted them to the local public security bureau, which was praised by the local public security bureau and the local people.
The senior leaders of our training class, after receiving the call from the local public security bureau, specially gathered our Second Company and Third Platoon in the open space outside the office. They danced and talked for a long time, praising all the students in our Third Platoon. "Good, good, good," he said. Well done. This matter was done reasonably, proficiently, and with restraint. We didn't suffer any losses, but we also showed the prestige of our training class. Good, good, good."
From then on, until we graduated from the training class and left Huayang Town, there were no more incidents of ruffians or gangsters causing trouble on the streets of Huayang Town. The streets had always been peaceful. Even petty theft had never happened during that period of time.
The difference between participating in training here and being an educated youth in the countryside was that when he was an educated youth, he could do whatever he wanted. No one cared, but he had to cook and solve his own food problems. There was strict discipline and a unified schedule in the training class for new workers. However, there was a special person to take care of the food and sleep of the new workers who were participating in the training. No matter how tight his schedule was, he could always rest on Sunday, and this Sunday was the hardest to pass. Helpless, he had to find something to kill time with.
I remember that on a Sunday afternoon, the students of Class Eight were chatting outside the training class while basking in the sun. He accidentally saw three farmers plowing a piece of wasteland covered in weeds with their oxen across the gate. There were also seven or eight farmers using hoes to chop up the large pieces of soil that had been dug up by the oxen pulling the iron plow into small pieces.
Anyway, he had nothing to do.
A few students in my class said to me together,"Boss, what can we do today?”
I couldn't help but laugh."Do you want to do your old job? Are your hands itchy?"
"Not necessarily," said one of the students with a smile.”
I replied," What are you waiting for? Go!"”
The educated youth students of the whole class swarmed up and immediately surrounded the group of farmers. The three educated youth students took the bullwhip and raised it above their heads. They waved the bullwhip with their hands and skillfully plowed the ground. The other educated youths in my class and I stepped forward one after another. He took the hoes from the farmers and skillfully cut up the large pieces of soil in the field.
These farmers were a little nervous when we surrounded them. They didn't have as many people as we did, so they didn't dare to fight us. However, they quickly felt that we didn't have any hostility or discrimination against them. On the contrary, because we were familiar with using the cattle to plow the land and holding the hoe, they became very interested in us.
While we were doing our work, we chatted with the farmers. As we talked, some of the farmers mentioned the incident where the local ruffians were caught causing trouble near the theater entrance a few days ago. Then, someone asked curiously,"What team are you? They knew how to farm and fight. Were they the plainclothes team of the People's Liberation Army? Where did you come from?"
Because the place where our new worker training class lived at that time was once a military barracks. In order to maintain the reputation of the People's Liberation Army, the senior leaders of the new worker training class had made a rule that no one was allowed to say which unit they were from. We can only answer,"Sorry, we have rules to keep secrets. I can't tell you."
It doesn't matter how nervous we are in the training class. It's just that we educated youths have just come out of the countryside and returned to the city. We can't adapt to the food ration regulations at that time. She often felt hungry after a while during class discussion. Once they felt hungry, everyone's mood for studying would inevitably be affected. It was necessary to divert his energy from his studies.
