A week ago:
"Why is the war flag so beautiful that the blood of heroes dyed her red?”
"The genes of the people's army will never be erased, and the red bloodline will always be passed down..."
In a village in Jincheng County, Bashu Province, a 99-year-old man was watching the military parade on TV in a small building with a local style. He was so excited that tears welled up in his eyes.
His thoughts returned to this day in 1937. In the square of Ximen High School, the first batch of volunteers recruited by Jincheng's fan club, 856 young men, had gathered and were about to go to the battlefield.
On the morning of the 28th of August, 856 people set off heroically. Fathers sent their children, wives sent their husbands, brothers sent their brothers…Those who did not know each other all held eggs and buns to send off the warriors. This farewell is forever.
He moved to the mountain city, went to Jiangxi Province, attacked Hongdu, entered the military academy, seized Yiwu, lived and died, hung his life on the line, and rebelled in Qionglai...
People from Jincheng were used to saying " Lao Zi " and " Hammer ". Outsiders found it funny and jokingly called them " Hammer Soldiers ". However, after many battles, this group of " hammers " who were always ridiculed had become brave and good at fighting. They were not slacking off in battle.
The so-called hammer had also become the symbol of the iron will of Jincheng's warriors. When the battle was intense, the division commander would always ask the battalion commander and regiment commander," How many hammers do you have?" Many of the assault teams and suicide squads were led by Hammer. The more successful they were, the more casualties they suffered!
In May 1938, Yinjiashan, Hukou, Jiangxi Province, defended the river defense position and fought with the Japanese army for the first time. More than 10 strong men in Jincheng were killed or injured.
In February 1939, the old man had been promoted to the acting platoon leader of the machine gun company. He attacked Nanchang and killed more than 100 strong men in Jincheng.
In August 1940, when the old man attacked Longchang Bridge, he was almost "wrapped in dumplings" by the Japanese army. He and three soldiers finally withdrew from the encirclement on the third day. Their legs were full of gunshot wounds, and the battalion commander thought that they had already died...
When they moved to Zhejiang and attacked Changhua, some of the Jincheng people who sacrificed their lives risked their lives to blow up enemy fortresses and tanks. Some bit the ears of the Japanese and went into the river to fight for their lives. Some of the enemies and the enemy stabbed their bayonet into their chests at the same time and fell together... 22 warriors in the division won the award, and 11 of them were from Jincheng.
Every time a warrior of Jincheng was sacrificed, the villagers of the hometown fan club would set up a memorial tablet for them in the temple. In the end, the war was chaotic and nothing was left. There was not even any information. Many people were heroic in life but nameless in death.
"Iron armor clang, iron formation gives birth to power. The tank team was being inspected, led by Major General Yao X. The 22 tanks were arranged in an "arrow" formation, symbolizing the "king of land battles" advancing bravely. As a main battle tank independently developed by China, the 99A tank achieved an effective integration of firepower, mobility, protection, and information power, reflecting the new level of land combat equipment.”The commentary of the Imperial Court Channel came from the television.
"If I had this kind of chariot back then, I wouldn't have been chased around like a rabbit by the Japanese!”the old man said.
"Grandfather, the country was too poor back then. This kind of thing will never happen again!”The young man in the suit said," In a war now, the air force alone can decide the outcome.”
It was the X-year anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China. He had specially driven 300 kilometers from the provincial capital to accompany his grandfather, who had crawled out of the pile of dead people during the war, to watch the National Day military parade.
After all, the old man did not have many years left to live.
When the last equipped vehicle, the TF-41 guided missile vehicle, passed by the Xuanwu Gate tower, the old man asked," Qiang Wazi, how far can this weapon hit? How powerful is it?"
"15,000 kilometers!" The young man took the globe from the table next to him and gestured on it." We can fight from Daba Mountain to New York City. It can destroy 10 counties at once."
"Oh, that's good. We don't have to be afraid of the Americans anymore." After saying that, the old man lowered his head. He seemed very tired…
Suddenly, he raised his head and pointed at the thing on the beam above his head.”
"Good!"
The young man found a ladder, climbed up the beam, and took down a box that was half a meter long. The box was a little heavy, about three to four kilograms.
The old man placed the box on his knees and looked at his grandson.
"I have four sons, all of whom have joined the army.”Yes, the old man's four sons had all joined the army. The boss was an engineer who had participated in the war against the United States and Vietnam. He had died of cancer two years ago. The old master's body collapsed on that day. It was not easy for him to hold on until now.
The second one was a scout. He had caught up with the Nanjiang Battle in 1984. After he retired, he was assigned to the Water Conservancy Bureau. He died in the flood in 1998!
The third brother was a motorman who had served in southern Yunnan for five years. He was now the vice president of a foreign trade company.
The fourth brother, the young man's father, was also an engineer. After he retired from the army, he followed his fellow countrymen to contract projects.
"I have four grandsons and four granddaughters. Three great-grandchildren and great-grandchildren." The old man said proudly," They are either still in the army or have served in the army for at least three years!”
"Except for you…" The old man's tone was filled with regret.
"Grandpa, I want to be a soldier too…" The young man said helplessly," But my body…Sigh…" When he was young, he had a hemorrhoid and had an operation on his groin. When he was in high school, he got acute appendicitis after eating lunch and playing basketball. In addition, he had a slight scatter in his eyes, so he couldn't pass the physical examination to join the army.
Therefore, in his generation, he was the only one who could not be a soldier.
The old man knew what was going on and could only pat his grandson's shoulder." Illness and injuries are inevitable in a person's life.”
"Let me ask you!" The old man looked at his grandson." If one day, the enemy attacks again, are you willing to go to the battlefield?”
"Of course I'm willing!" The young man said naturally," Our family is all soldiers. If I don't go to the battlefield, won't I be tarnishing our family's reputation?”
"Besides, my current ability is not necessarily better than those soldiers!”The young man said confidently.
"I know you're capable!”the old man said gratefully.
"Your brother and sister won't be able to use these things anymore. I also hope that they will never need them!”The old man patted the box in his hand. I plan to leave it to you!"
"What is it?" The young man asked," Treasure?"
"Gold, silver, and treasures my ass!" The old man said," Is your child still short of money?”
"No!" The young man shook his head. His father was working in engineering now. He didn't have big money, but he definitely didn't lack small money. No matter what, he would get a house in the county town for retirement and a house in the city for his marriage. He was a tour guide for a travel agency. He usually traveled with them, received kickbacks, tips, and occasionally did some overseas purchasing. In addition, he worked as a translator during the off-season. He could earn 20,000 to 30,000 yuan a month.
"Promise me first! Don't use the things inside to do bad things! It can only be used to protect the country!"
"Bad things?" The young man said," What's a bad thing?"
"What an outrageous thing!"
The young man raised his right hand and promised," I swear to Grandpa and my deceased father and second father that I will never use the things left behind by Grandpa to do anything evil! It's only used to protect the country!"
"If you want the empire to perish…"
The young man looked at his exhausted grandfather and supported himself with his wheelchair. He echoed,"Unless the people of Sichuan die…"
"I remember…" The grandfather pointed at his grandson and instructed," Remember, you are a descendant of the Sichuan Army. Don't embarrass the Sichuan Army!”
"I remember!" The young man grabbed his grandfather's hand." Grandpa, I remember! I am a descendant of the Sichuan army. The people of Sichuan will not let down their motherland!”
Hearing his grandson's promise, the old man closed his eyes and his right hand drooped weakly…
"Grandpa?" "Grandpa?" The young man reached his hand out to the old man's nose. His breathing had stopped.
He opened his eyes with his hands and realized that it was already too late. The old man's pupils had already dilated. His body had died half an hour ago, but because he was worried about something, he held back from dying...
