"Hey--", the emergency brake of a dark green three-wheeled military motorcycle pierced the silent night sky in a mountain village in southern Anhui. Door. "Instructor Zou! The regiment headquarters ordered you to attend an emergency meeting." Instructor Zou Jun looked at his watch. It was already 11:20 in the middle of the night. He jumped on the motorcycle and disappeared into the night. Zou Jun walked into the regiment command post and saw that the regiment leader, political commissar and chief of staff had made a special trip from Hangzhou to Guangde County, Anhui Province.There was no sound in the conference room, and the head of the regiment sat there solemnly without saying a word.Zou Jun sat down in an empty seat.

Staff Officer Wang reported to the head of the regiment that all the participants in the meeting had arrived. "Comrades!" The chief of staff of the regiment stood up, cleared his throat, and said, "The Central Military Commission ordered us to enter the second level of combat readiness from now on. The division's offensive exercise will be directly directed by the Central Military Commission instead of the director of the Nanjing Military Region. The Nanjing war zone has expanded to all parts of the country, and the troops under it must rush back to Hangzhou within 24 hours to stand by."

Staff Officer Wang deployed the specific plan, precautions and marching route for the troops to return to Hangzhou. The political commissar of Tuanshi finally said: "Just now the chief of staff has conveyed the order of the Central Military Commission. This is the trust of the head of the central government in our army. He has entrusted us with a very important task. After you go back, you must hold a meeting immediately to mobilize and mobilize. Everyone's enthusiasm stabilized the emotions of the soldiers and brought the troops back to the camp safely." On the way, Zou Jun fell into deep thought.

It has been more than two months since the troops camped and trained. The artillerymen just had a live ammunition shooting assessment the day before yesterday. Yesterday, the company commander returned to the barracks with more than 100 vehicles in the division to pick up the infantry company. The empty car returned to pick us up, which shows that the mission is extraordinary.The situation on the Sino-Vietnamese border has been tense recently. There have been battles in Laoshan and Zheyin Mountains. Could it be that they are going to the battlefield?possible! As soon as Zou Jun arrived at the station, he immediately held a cadre meeting to convey the order of the Central Military Commission.He asked everyone to remember this special day - July 12, 1984.While the platoons are mobilizing, they are also getting ready for departure, and the vehicle that will pick us up will arrive in a few hours.He asked to rush back to the barracks before 6:00 pm; he also ordered the head of the department to knock on the door of the village consignment shop immediately and buy all the edible things to ensure that they would be used on the road.

As soon as the troops stepped into the barracks, they saw a lively scene, vehicles shuttled back and forth, and personnel came and went in a hurry, with serious faces. At 7:30 in the evening, the regiment held a meeting of all cadres and party members, and political commissar Shi made a mobilization speech.He said: "The Central Military Commission ordered our division to be the first batch of combat troops to go to the Sino-Vietnamese border to take on the task of self-defense counterattack. Check, cadres at all levels and Communist Party members must carry forward the spirit of not being afraid of sacrifice and fighting bravely, severely punish the Vietnamese bandits, use their own practical actions to defend the territory of the motherland without losing an inch, and create a quiet living environment for the whole country. Comrades! This It is the test of the party and the people, I hope that after you go back, you will do all the preparations before the troops go to the front line, and bring the troops to the front line safely and smoothly."

At 8 a.m. on July 15th, the regiment held a mobilization meeting for all soldiers to "go to the frontier and severely punish the Vietnamese bandits". The regiment leader and political commissar carried out pre-war mobilization respectively. War keeps women away.Zou Jun, the instructor of the Sanpao Company, mobilized all the other family members away, except Lili, the lover of Jiang Shan, who was in a row. The troops were training intensively, and under a tree in the distance, stood a young woman.Her long hair in the shawl is constantly blown by the breeze. Under the curved eyebrows, a pair of big, bright and vivid eyes are particularly charming. Her pink face is a little red from the sun, and beads of sweat drip from it from time to time. Flow down, with a white pearl necklace on her slender neck, under the beige short-sleeved shirt, the two breasts look extraordinarily tall, the waist that sets off is so small, the various lines are more distinct, and the lower body is wearing a white suit Trousers and a pair of casual shoes on the feet.She looks like a very pure woman.

She passed by here on a business trip yesterday. She wanted to come to the army to see her lover. Unfortunately, the army was about to go to the Sino-Vietnamese border to perform combat missions. She didn't want to leave no matter what she said. She wanted to see her beloved with her own eyes and board the train. , for a final farewell. Zou Jun really didn't want her to go, he came all the way, staying a few more days would be a kind of comfort to the soldiers.The soldier's wife had already lost too much, and he didn't want her to feel too much pressure and pain.But the regulations of the army must be implemented, it is difficult to be a soldier!Being a military wife is even harder.He decided to talk to Lili again.

Zou Jun walked straight to her, "Hello!" A pair of big powerful hands held those slender little hands, looked at the charming Lili in front of him, and said, "I'm really sorry, I should have let you young couples have a good reunion. , just happened to catch up with the troops to carry out combat missions, not only could not reunite, but according to the regulations of the troops, you should leave immediately." "Instructor! I am a young female worker from Xi'an City. I have received party education for many years and know the principle of 'raising soldiers for a thousand days and using them for a while'. Since I have chosen soldiers as my lover, I have made all mental preparations and will never To hold him back, I don't need to eat and live with him, I just want to take this rare opportunity to see him more, and watch him board the train to the front with my own eyes, this may be the last time." She said with He took out a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped away his tears.Zou Jun also felt sore in his heart.

Zou Jun is a political worker who is good at doing ideological work. However, facing this reasonable woman in front of him, when he is parting from his lover who has been in love with him for many years, the only request is to take another look at his beloved. Can it be called too much?He was speechless, and only said: "You are worthy of being a great woman." From then on, regardless of the pre-war mobilization, training, and material preparation of the troops, there is always a beautiful woman in the distance, watching him affectionately in the green ocean. In the past few days, the troops have been carrying out various preparations before the battle, checking weapons and equipment, replenishing ammunition, and testing the amount of vehicles.Draw a lot of train cars on the ground, study the loading method of military horses, ammunition and personnel, so that it can be completed in the shortest time when loading cars and trains.

Due to the shortage of personnel, a large number of personnel were transferred from brother divisions to supplement A division.The No. 3 Artillery Company where Zou Jun belonged was supplemented by 15 soldiers. At the same time, the superior dispatched a chief of staff Liu Honglin from the brother army to take up the post at the same time. The soldiers were discharged from the hospital and went to the front line with the troops.A soldier of a certain company left a letter to the head of the company after he was discharged from the hospital, which read: Dear company head, I was discharged from the hospital today. Due to my poor health, I cannot go to the front with the army to fight. Don't wait for me when you leave, I will be back soon, please arrange for me to stay behind.

This is a serious phenomenon of desertion. Deserters appear before the troops have set off, which will have a very bad influence among the soldiers.The political department of a certain regiment immediately ordered the local armed department to send the soldier to the army immediately. When the soldier entered the house, two comrades from the local armed forces immediately greeted him. Military orders are like mountains.After the soldier arrived home, he didn't take a sip of water, didn't sit on the stool, and didn't have time to say a word to his parents. He was escorted by his comrades from the Armed Forces, sent back to the army, and handed over to the military court. He was sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment for the crime of desertion. three years. The heads of the Nanjing Military Region, the Group Army, and the Division successively visited the troops. The head of the military region personally mobilized the officers and soldiers to join the battle. He said: "Comrades! Today, on behalf of the leaders of the Nanjing Military Region, I am here to visit you and express condolences to all the officers and soldiers. Over the past few years, Vietnam has continued to create troubles on our borders, carry out armed provocations, blow up villages, kill and injure villagers, and occupy our territory. , so that the frontier people cannot carry out normal production and life. In order to create a quiet living environment for the people of the whole country, defend the territory of the motherland without losing any land, and at the same time teach Vietnam a lesson. The Central Military Commission decided to deploy well-trained troops across the country and go to Frontier, perform round-of-war missions. Test the training results of the troops. It is an army that has been in peacetime for a long time and has been tempered in actual combat. Your army is a unit with a glorious tradition. It is a unit that Marshal He Long started with two kitchen knives. During the period of the Red Army, the War of Resistance Against Japan, the War of Liberation, and the period of Resisting U.S. Aggression and Aiding Korea, you have made immortal feats, and there have been many "hard-boned six companies" heroic companies, which were once called "the first army in the world". This time you as The first round of combat troops is the trust of the Central Military Commission in you. I believe you will be able to complete this combat mission with excellence. We are waiting for your victory news. When you return triumphantly, I will come to celebrate with you liquor". The political department of the A regiment held a political work meeting to study the ideological and political work of the troops going to the front line.The Propaganda Section Chief, the Security Section Chief, and the Organization Section Chief made speeches respectively, and the Director of the Political Department made a concluding speech.He said: "The people who participated in the meeting today are all political cadres. After you go back, you must go deep into the soldiers, understand the thoughts of the soldiers, do a good job in ideological work in time, stimulate everyone's enthusiasm for participating in the war, never allow deserters, and bring the troops smoothly. to the front." Each company is conducting confidentiality education and safe ride education. In order to enable cadres at all levels to master the use of various weapons proficiently, the regiment headquarters requires that all cadres must learn the operation skills of various weapons equipped by the infantry regiment, and be able to complete live ammunition shooting. Weapons go into battle.On the training ground close to the mountain, the sound of guns and guns rang out, and cadres at all levels were firing live ammunition. Over the past few days, Zou Jun and the cadres have been shooting light and heavy machine guns, anti-aircraft machine guns, mortars, recoilless guns, rocket launchers and other weapons.My arms are numb, so move around; my ears are buzzing, so I plug them with cotton. On the morning of July 22, the third battalion held an enlarged meeting of the party committee, and approved the first batch of squad leaders Zhang Min and Xu Ming of the third artillery company to join the party. In the afternoon, the company gathered for the last mobilization.
