Chapter 3 Chapter Three: Battle Training

The troops have entered the stage of combat training. In the early days of the troops' combat training, they mainly focused on physical training. Every day, they carried out a five-kilometer cross-country journey in full armor. The soldiers carried submachine guns, military water bottles, four grenades, and artillery on their shoulders.Often after a trip, there is no dry place on the military uniform, and it is all soaked.The weather in the south is sweltering, the mountains are high and the forests are dense, and the roads are rough and difficult. Some fell from the mountains, and some were covered with bloodstains on the branches. They did not complain.The shoulder was worn out by the artillery, so I changed my shoulder and continued to run.Everyone firmly remembers the slogan "Sweat more in peacetime, bleed less in wartime."

On the hillside, soldiers are conducting multi-functional training, gunners swap with gunners, aimers swap with gunners.Soldiers are required to learn the skills of each gunner, and any one of them can step up to ensure the normal progress of the battle when there is a reduction in combat personnel. On the square of Unity Farm, the three battalions and five companies sat neatly on the ground, listening to director Wang of Tianbao Farm and returned overseas Chinese talk about Vietnam's crimes of anti-China and exclusion of China. Director Wang of Tianbao Farm said: "Our farm is located in Malipo County, close to the border between China and Vietnam. It is the second largest rubber plantation in China. The rubber tree is only a few meters away from the border. The rubber output accounts for one-third of the country. China's rubber manufacturing industry has made a greater contribution. Since the Sino-Vietnamese War in 1979, the Vietnamese army has fired guns and cannons at the farms every day. As soon as the workers appeared in the rubber plantations, they would shoot with machine guns, killing and injuring many workers. As a result, the rubber plantation has not tapped rubber for five years, with an annual loss of more than 500,000 yuan. There are not many geographical locations suitable for planting rubber trees in our country, and there are even fewer rubber raw material bases. Tianbao Farm cannot produce normally, which has caused great damage to China's rubber manufacturing industry. It caused great economic losses and affected the speed of socialist construction. The Vietnamese army also blew up our houses, causing workers to be homeless and wandering everywhere; students were unable to attend classes, which disrupted everyone's normal life. I desperately hope that you will fight big battles, win them, teach the Vietnamese devils a lesson, regain our lost homeland, let us have a peaceful production and living environment, and lead a normal life for ordinary people. Comrades in the PLA! We are looking forward to News of your victory."

An overseas Chinese who has been doing business in Vietnam for many years told his own personal experience.He said: "I came to Hanoi, Vietnam with my parents when I was five years old and lived there for 50 years. I just started running a department store, and later opened three trading houses, mainly dealing in department stores, cloth, grain, etc. The scale of operation , Assets, ranked in the forefront of private enterprises in Hanoi. Contributed to the prosperity of Hanoi’s economy and Vietnam’s War of Resistance Against France and the War of Resistance against the United States. Only after the reunification of North and South Vietnam, Vietnam, with the support of the Soviet Union, claimed to be the third largest in the world A military power. It began to have friction with our country. It ate the rice produced in China and used the guns produced in China, but opposed China. It rejected the overseas Chinese who had lived in Vietnam for a long time, looted goods, burned stores, and drove them like cattle and sheep. We made it impossible for the overseas Chinese to live, so I had to take my whole family, driven by them, stop and go, drink a mouthful of mountain spring water when thirsty, dig a piece of cassava to satisfy hunger, and sit on a stone by the roadside when tired I took a rest at night, slept next to a big tree at night, picked a few banana leaves and put them on my body when it rained. I walked like this for more than 20 days, and when I returned to the motherland after more than 50 years of absence, I had nothing Penny, tattered clothes, changed from a rich man to a beggar. The party and the government cared about me, loved me, arranged housing, sent food, and our family lived a stable life again. Therefore, I would like to thank the Chinese Communist Party , Thanks to the great motherland, she did not abandon her children, I sincerely hope that my motherland is strong, so that our Chinese sons and daughters who have lived overseas for a long time will always be protected by the motherland."

The speech aroused everyone's hatred for Vietnam, inspired the enthusiasm for hard training, and established the determination to defend the motherland and territorial integrity. In the dark night, the Third Artillery Company was pulled up the mountain for night training. Zou Jun led a platoon to practice shooting fixed targets and moving targets with recoilless guns.Two hundred meters ahead, a soldier was walking back and forth with a flashlight bulb, and other soldiers followed the light, aiming and firing continuously. Company commander Zhao Guowei led the second platoon in light weapons and bomb-dropping training.A small light spot in the bushes is constantly moving, the light spot appears and disappears, and is constantly blocked by the trees.The soldiers hid beside the tree, holding the submachine gun tightly with both hands, staring firmly at the light spot in front of them, grasping the moment when the target appeared, aiming and shooting.At 11 o'clock in the evening, each person fired ten rounds of bullets and two grenades for live shooting and live ammunition throwing.Since it was the first time to shoot live ammunition in such a complex terrain, everyone had no experience and the results were not ideal.The most worrying thing is the throwing of grenades. I am afraid that soldiers will throw them on trees, and the distance will be too close, causing accidental injury.In general, things are going well. Except for the unsatisfactory grades, everything is safe.

Deputy company commander Zhu Xuewen led the third platoon to carry out night-time fortification training.The main equipment of the third row is the 82 mortar.The difficulty is to build a base plate pit and set up shooting elements without lighting.In the weak light, it is most prone to mistakes to set up and shoot the elements.The gunner is required to build five standard seat pits in a row, and the aimer is required to set up fifty consecutive shots without any mistakes.Secondly, each person constructs a cat ear hole. Hou Tianshun, the deputy instructor, is responsible for the training of the cooking class and the driving class.The training content of the cooking class is to have a picnic in the dark at night.Starting from building the stove at night, finding water sources, collecting firewood, and cooking in the dark, practice one by one.Finally, within forty-five minutes at night, one meal, four dishes, and one soup for a hundred people should be prepared.Fifty meters away while cooking, I couldn't see any flames.

The riding squad mainly conducts weight-bearing training for military horses at night. The big squad leader Zhao Yuejin leads three riding squads to march in the jungle to ensure that the horses' hooves are silent and the military horses do not bark.They wrapped the hooves of the horses with sacks and cowhide, and the horse walked on the stone without making any noise. The driver's hand rested on the horse's head. Whenever the horse raised its head and wanted to bark, they touched the horse's head, and the horse stopped barking. up. The commander of the Kunming Military Region, accompanied by the head of the army, went to Division A to visit the troops participating in the battle. He was very happy to see the soldiers training with high enthusiasm and strict discipline. At the company-level cadre meeting held by the division, he said: "Today, we Entrusted by the Central Military Commission, I came to visit you and asked you to establish the idea of ​​long-term combat and long-term persistence. You will not leave until you fight a few battles. The weather in Yunnan changes, so we need to understand the combat characteristics of the Vietnamese army, conduct targeted training before the battle, and be ready to participate in the battle at any time. Your combat area is the Laoshan area, and the XX army is fighting there now, and they are fighting very well. From today onwards, your army's designation will be temporarily sealed, and you will fight in the honor of XX army armor, which is the need for external political propaganda, because this war is currently only a conflict between border guards, not the beginning of an escalation of an all-out war."

According to the work plan of Regiment A, each company will use one day to conduct political education for all officers and soldiers, convey the spirit of the speech of the head of the Kunming Military Region, and organize cadres and soldiers to discuss two issues: First, how do you understand our army's long-term combat and long-term persistence? The guiding ideology; the second is how to achieve long-term combat and long-term persistence.In this education, cadres are the focus, mainly to solve the problems of cadres' professionalism and sense of responsibility, and require cadres to establish the consciousness of obeying orders and obeying commands, and to set an example and set an example for others.

In the tropical rainforest, a few rays of sunlight shine through the towering trees and fall on the ground. It feels particularly dark and cool. Plants that are only found in the south are all over the forest. Those unknown flowers are blooming together, like walking on the ground. Into the natural botanical garden. In the woods, the instructor Zou Jun is conducting interspersed training with his company.According to the training subjects, the interspersed task of 30 kilometers must be completed before 5 pm.The route interspersed this time is very complicated. It is difficult to imagine the difficulty of going through virgin forests, bushes, bamboo forests, rivers, and over several hills.

The company commander Zhao Guowei and the commanding squad leader walked in the forefront of the troops. They spread out the map to check the terrain for a while, and used the compass for a while to find the way forward.The driver led the army horse, carrying the cannon, and followed closely behind; Hou Tianshun, the deputy instructor, led the cooking team, and walked behind; Zou Jun took care of the troops for a while, and after a while. In the primeval forest, the leaves on the ground are more than a foot thick, and the feet feel soft when stepped on, like walking on cotton.The more we walked, the denser the woods became, and the army horses could not get through with the cannons on their backs, and the driver led the horses around.

The troops passed through the dense forest and came down the mountain. The dense bushes on the hillside blocked the way and could not pass.Company commander Zhao Guowei ordered a platoon leader Jiang Shan to organize soldiers to open up passages.The soldiers pulled out the machetes from their backpacks, and cut down the bushes one by one, opening up a passage for the troops to advance. The troops stopped and went, and when they reached the bottom of the cliff, the rocks were steep, and the army refused to go immediately, so they had to unload the artillery and let the soldiers carry it up the mountain first.Then, the driver pulled the army horse in front, and the two soldiers behind him held the horse's buttocks and pushed them up, finally reaching the top of the mountain.It is more difficult to go down the mountain. The driver holds the horse's neck in front, and the warrior behind holds the horse's tail and walks down bit by bit.Suddenly, a horse's foot slipped, and both the horse and the two warriors rolled down the hill.Zou Jun was shocked.Fortunately, they were blocked by a big tree on the mountainside, and several soldiers quickly grabbed the bushes and slid down to rescue their comrades and army horses.A soldier's head was smashed and an arm was scratched, so they were bandaged immediately; the army horse was limped on one leg, and its back was cut more than ten centimeters.

Over the mountain, came to a bamboo forest.A small road passed through the bamboo forest. Because the road was too narrow, the weapons had to be removed and the soldiers carried them on their shoulders. Passing through the bamboo forest, a river blocked the way. The river was fast and unfathomable.Instructor Zou Jun and company commander Zhao Guowei exchanged opinions and decided that the troops would rest for an hour, the cooking team would cook, and the troops would prepare for the river.Make a bamboo raft for each row and prepare to cross the river after dinner. The crossing has begun.First, two comrades with good water skills were picked, and they swam with a coil of rope, and tied the rope to the trees on both sides of the river bank. Zou Jun went up to pull the rope to see if it was securely tied.Then the soldiers carried the bamboo rafts into the river, tied the bamboo rafts with ropes, put the other end on the ropes on the river surface, and carried the artillery onto the bamboo rafts. Several soldiers jumped into the water, pulled the ropes and pushed the bamboo rafts. Raft, transported the artillery to the opposite bank.Finally, it was time for the army horse to cross the river. The driver extended the reins of the horse, swam over first, and connected the reins of the other horses together. The two men pulled hard on the opposite bank, and in this way, all the army horses were pulled ashore.Quanlian finally crossed the river.The interspersed task was successfully completed, and the 30-kilometer journey took ten hours. In the Dongfanghong Theater in Yanshan County, Division A is holding a company-level cadre meeting. The chief of staff of the B Regiment of the XX Army is mainly invited to introduce how their regiment defeated the large-scale attack of the Vietnamese Army Division on July 12. Regiment B sticks to the Laoshan Nala area. In the early morning of the 12th, the Vietnamese army launched a large-scale attack on Laoshan. A large number of shells poured on their positions. The front positions were bombed in a mess. The enemy rushed up. They beat the enemy down, and the enemy rushed up in batches, and they fought down again and again. The Vietnamese army was unwilling to fail, and organized many attacks, all of which were beaten down.In a few days of fighting, their regiment wiped out more than 1,200 enemies. The instructor of the fourth company of the A regiment introduced the ideological and political work of their company in capturing the main peak of Laoshan on April 28.A new soldier from the Fourth Company was sentenced to three years in prison by a military court for playing with a submachine gun while watching a movie. A bullet wounded six soldiers and one of them died.After serving his sentence, he returned to the company, and was listed as a key target by the regiment, and he was required to be demobilized and go home.When the soldier heard about it, he knelt down in front of the instructor and said nothing to leave.He said: "I have been a soldier for more than three years, and I have been in prison for three years. I have not made any contribution to the army. If you let me stay, I will never cause any trouble for the army. Then let me feed the pigs." Plant vegetables, work for two years, experience the life of a soldier, and never forget your great kindness.” His sincerity touched the instructor, and the instructor assured the head of the regiment to keep him.Two months later, the troops accepted the task of participating in the war, and the head of the regiment instructed him to stay behind.The soldier tore off a piece of the pillow bag, bit his index finger, wrote "resolutely demand to go to the front line" in blood on the white cloth, and handed it to the instructor.After research, the head of the company decided to let him go to the war zone with the troops and assign him to work in the cooking squad. He was not afraid of hardship or tiredness, and he did everything first.The superior ordered the fourth company to capture Laoshan on April 28 and serve as the sharp knife company.In order to successfully complete the combat tasks, the fourth company must organize a commando (death squad) to open up passages for the troops. The task is arduous and dangerous.The soldier wrote a blood letter for the second time and sent it to the company headquarters, expressing a strong desire to join the commando.Finally, the soldier got his wish and joined the commando.In the early morning of April 28, the battle to attack Laoshan started. He put his life aside and rushed to the forefront. He was determined to use his own blood to wash away the past humiliation.When he rushed to the mountainside, the Vietnamese army hidden in the A-type fortifications in the rocks fired fierce artillery fire at him. He picked up the explosive package, used the cover of the terrain and features, climbed to the A-type fortifications, and pulled The explosive package rang, clearing the way for the follow-up troops.He fired with a submachine gun for a while, threw grenades for a while, and was the first to rush to the main peak of Laoshan.He won the first-class meritorious service, turned from a criminal to a combat hero, and was promoted to a cadre exceptionally.This case fully demonstrates the role and power of ideological and political work in combat. The troops are conducting individual tactical training, which requires soldiers to learn to use the cover of terrain and features to protect themselves more effectively and maximize their firepower under the enemy's artillery fire. On the open ground, the soldiers sprinted for 100 meters for a while, and crawled forward for a while; when they heard the command from the commander "being attacked by enemy artillery fire", they quickly rolled from side to side, avoided the artillery fire, and continued to move forward; at the same time, the soldiers were required to learn to use the cover of the bomb crater , jump from one crater to another, because the shells will not fall into the same crater in actual combat.In places where the rocks are exposed, tactical training is different. I saw soldiers shuttle back and forth between the rocks. When encountering large rocks, they bent over and passed quickly; when encountering small rocks, they crawled forward; Bend 90 degrees to the right, and then slowly move upwards, exposing the rock with the left eye to observe the enemy's situation, so that only half of the head is exposed, narrowing the target and protecting yourself more effectively.The tactical training in the jungle is mainly how to use tall trees as cover, select the target, and arrive quickly. According to the terrain, you can take a high or low posture, and quickly shoot from the right side of the tree. After the tactical training is over, the troops enter the next training subject.After the artillery bracket is broken, how to perform simple shooting.Eighty-two recoilless gunners must learn to shoot shoulder guns. The gunner carries the barrel on his shoulders, moves with the target, captures the fighter, and fires in time; through training, it is necessary to solve the problem of shoulder instability, inaccurate aiming, and difficult timing of firing essentials. The eight-two mortar is more difficult to shoot easily. In the absence of a bracket, the tail of the gun barrel is placed on the ground, and the gunner's left forearm acts as a bracket. When the shell feels good, put the shell into the barrel to fire; it mainly solves the inaccurate visual distance of the gunner and the difficulty in grasping the angle of the barrel.Because the situation on the battlefield is ever-changing, it is normal for the artillery bracket to be broken. If you do not master this technology in normal times, you will suffer a lot during wartime; therefore, the leaders of the Third Artillery Company attach great importance to this training subject. The cadres personally guide and demonstrate repeatedly in the training ground until everyone understands and masters the basics. The Mid-Autumn Festival is here, and the People's Government of Yanshan County sent moon cakes, apples, grapes, etc. to the troops.A few dishes were added to the troops for dinner, and each had a bottle of beer.Zou Jun asked each class to share their feelings with each other while eating, recall the beautiful scenes in their hometown and their most memorable things, and look forward to a happy life in the future; talk about what actions we will take to defend the dignity of the motherland and let the whole country The people have an idea that we fight bravely. During the meal, Zou Jun went to each class to have a look, had a glass of wine with the soldiers, and praised and encouraged everyone's performance in the past few months. He asked the comrades to carry forward their achievements and make persistent efforts. At that time, I would like to say hello to my parents on his behalf, and wish him good health and happiness for the whole family. After the meal, Zou Jun took a turn on the road outside the farm.On the way he fell into deep thought.For several months, he was very conflicted and never sent a letter to his family. It wasn’t that he didn’t miss his relatives. In fact, he missed his gray-haired parents day and night who had endured hardships for their children all his life; I miss my beloved wife and lively and lovely son.However, he couldn't write a letter to them. He didn't want his relatives to worry about their situation and increase unnecessary mental burden. If he could keep a secret for a while, he would write a letter when it was a last resort! Recently, the phenomenon of violation of discipline by the troops has gradually increased. The long-term training before the battle has reduced the enthusiasm of the soldiers to participate in the war, the number of accidents has gradually increased, and the phenomenon of disobedience to management has risen. Group B overturned three cars during training. Two soldiers of Group C had a conflict and stabbed the knife. When the assistant instructor went to solve the problem, instead of putting down the knife, he hugged the soldier and continued to threaten him with the knife. The assistant instructor shot and killed the soldier. Wounded by fighters with knives, etc. The third artillery company of the A regiment also had many incidents: Wang Xilai, the sixth squad leader, accidentally lost the scope on the way to the division headquarters to repair the scope; In a fight, one of the soldiers went to the other company to ask his fellow villagers to take revenge after he suffered a loss; Jiang Shan, the platoon leader, refused to obey the company's personnel adjustment plan, and openly contradicted the company commander; one morning when ten soldiers didn't get up to go out for exercises, Zou Jun brought all the soldiers of the company to the bed Conduct live education. What was even more serious was that before lunch, the company commander Zhao Guowei called out and criticized three comrades for running around while participating in the demolition training in the morning. Comrade Li Shitou, who was criticized, quarreled with the company commander, and the company commander announced a warning to them at that time To be punished, Li Shitou rushed up to grab the company commander and beat him, but was pulled away by the soldiers present.At this time, Li Shitou picked up the vegetable bowl while no one was paying attention, and splashed it on the company commander.He grabbed his submachine gun and shouted to the company commander to settle the score. When Zou Jun went up to stop him and failed, he stretched out his hand and slapped Li Shitou twice.This was Zou Jun's first time fighting a soldier since he was a soldier. When Li Shitou was in a daze, he grabbed the submachine gun. Afterwards, Zou Jun pulled Li Shitou aside and had a long heart-to-heart talk, saying that if this step goes ahead, it will cause unforgivable mistakes in his life for him and his family. To die on the battlefield is a hero, and to make mistakes that should not be made Even worse than a bear, how to explain to parents, how to go back to see the folks. In the end, the soldier shed tears of guilt, took Zou Jun's hand and said: "Instructor, I was wrong. I fell well this time. I will always remember this lesson and get up from where I fell. Please organize to entrust me with the most difficult task, let me take the blame and meritorious deeds! I have discredited our company, I am sorry for you and the company commander, I want to start a new life, please don't abandon me. Let me be in the military meeting of the whole company Check with the company commander to ensure that you will earnestly abide by various disciplines in the future, complete combat tasks outstandingly, and strive to be rewarded for meritorious service." Zou Jun decided to make friends with Li Shitou. He will never abandon comrades who made mistakes, and he must focus on helping He, if this soldier cannot be converted, it means that he is an incompetent instructor, and he can only submit his resignation to the regiment party committee. This matter was quickly reported to the regiment.The head of the regiment, the political commissar, and the head of the military affairs section came to the company and criticized the company cadres: "As company cadres, you have not done your job well, failed to do your homework, and failed to stop the development of incidents. Recently, there have been problems one after another. You can blame the soldiers. You should look for problems from your cadres themselves. First, the management methods are simple, your attitude is rough, and you lack the thought of loving soldiers; Being too accommodating has contributed to the violation of discipline by individual soldiers. I hope you will learn from the lesson, correct the problem, work hard, and bring the troops out." Zou Jun conducted an inspection on behalf of the company cadres, and accepted the criticism of the chief with humility.Subsequently, a company cadre meeting was held to study specific countermeasures against the company's recent situation.Finally, it was decided: to rectify the style and discipline of the company, and require the cadres to establish the idea of ​​​​loving soldiers. The four leaders of the company moved from the farm office building to the auditorium. train.Strict management and strict requirements, all cadres must set an example, make friends with comrades who are backward in thinking, and strive to have major changes in the company in a short period of time. On the playground, the Third Artillery Company is rectifying its work style and discipline.This rectification is carried out on the basis of the study and education of each class, and adopts the method of soldiers to speak freely, and criticizes the harm caused by the company's recent violations of discipline. As a soldier, how to maintain the honor of the company; Cooperation; how to establish the idea of ​​bearing hardships, do a good job in training before battle, and sweat more in peacetime so that you can bleed less in wartime. Everyone spoke positively, and 16 soldiers spoke successively.Most of the fighters criticized the company's recent problems and the losses caused to the company.He also expounded his own views on how to strengthen management in the future, give full play to everyone's enthusiasm for training, and improve the quality of training, and put forward many constructive opinions. Finally, Zou Jun made a concluding speech: "Comrades! Today's meeting was very good. Everyone spoke enthusiastically. Some comrades did not have the opportunity to speak, so they wrote notes and handed them to us. Most of them responded to the problems in our company. The sincere criticism not only educated everyone, but also educated our company cadres. This time the alarm bell was sounded well and timely. It woke up our cadres and soldiers. The understanding has played a role in promoting the work of the company. I hope that comrades will learn lessons, strictly demand themselves, play a vanguard and exemplary role in future training, and establish the idea of ​​bearing hardships and standing hard work. Less bloodshed. Your parents handed you over to us, and we are responsible for your parents. I can’t guarantee that even one of us will not be injured, but we must try our best not to sacrifice a single person, and take everyone back home , This is the greatest wish of the company cadres. Comrades! Let us actively devote ourselves to intensive training, strive to improve our military technical level, and take practical actions to meet the upcoming war!" According to the training subjects, in the evening, the third artillery company marched according to the azimuth angle, and pulled the whole company a few kilometers away. The company commander Zhao Guowei issued the training content: "Today, march according to the azimuth angle. It takes two hours to find a point, if that squad fails to complete the task and loses its way, we will fire three red flares at 23:30, and we can return directly to the place where the flares rose." The commanding squad leader sent the prepared sketches to each squad leader. The distance and orientation were marked on the sketches. Only when the next point was found, could other points be searched according to the prompts. Zou Jun searched for something with Class Eight. Zhang Min, the eighth squad leader, picked up the sketch and looked at it. The first point was 1,200 meters away, and the target was an independent tree. He aimed at a target with a compass according to the marked angle, led the personnel to run quickly to the target, and then searched for the target. The goal, like a relay race, is approaching the first point one by one.Under normal circumstances, you must go all the way without detours, otherwise it is easy to deviate from the direction, get lost, and increase the difficulty of finding points.The independent tree was quickly found, and there was a note under a stone under the tree, which read "Congratulations". They started to move towards the second goal. When they came to a vegetable field, they all walked forward on their own.At this time, with a "plop", a soldier fell into a large vat by the side of the field. An old vat was buried by the side of the field, and it was filled with dung used by fellow villagers.The other soldiers quickly pulled him out. He was covered in the smell of feces and could not move forward. He had to jump into a nearby pond to wash himself before moving on. On the way to find the third point, a small river blocked the way. The river in the mountain stream is not wide, but the current is very fast. The soldiers held hands and walked forward step by step. The waist-deep water was cold and cold. On a rock, he slipped and fell down. Another soldier pulled him and failed. The two of them were washed down the mountain together by the water. Fortunately, they were stopped by a big rock about ten meters away, so there was no accident. After crossing the river, a cliff lay in front of him. Zhang Min, the squad leader, untied the rope from his waist. An iron hook was tied to one end of the rope. Throwing it away, the iron hook was just hanging on the tree. He pulled it hard to see if it was stable, and then pulled the rope one by one to climb the cliff. In this way, Class Eight found five points within the specified time and finally reached the finish line.Two squads failed to find the target and lost their way. The company commander ordered the communicators to fire three red flares into the air. Thirty minutes later, under the guidance of the flares, they rushed back one after another. It was already three o'clock in the morning when they arrived at the station It's been a long time. As October 1st is approaching, the leaders of the Unity Farm approached Zou Jun and negotiated to hold a military-civilian gala.The military-civilian gala can strengthen the unity of the military and the people, activate the life of the troops, and boost morale.But Zou Jun was afraid of problems with the troops, so he didn't dare to do it. Because the habits of the ethnic minorities are different from those of the Han people, their way of falling in love is quite special. At night, young men and women sing folk songs to each other. A group of girls are singing while walking on the road in the field. At this place, the girls sat down to sing, and the young men surrounded the girls tightly, played the lusheng, and danced cheerfully.Late at night, young men drag their beloved girls into caves or cornfields, and some spend the night at girls' homes. This is the most common thing in Yunnan.The girl's parents took the boy to spend the night at his house as a kind of honor. They thought that the more boys came to his house, the more beautiful and attractive his girl was.Girls can have sex with any boy before marriage, but not after marriage.For their first child, it was difficult for the mother to tell who the father of the child was. Therefore, Zou Jun was worried that some young women would drag the soldiers away during the party, which would cause the soldiers to violate military discipline and affect the combat effectiveness of the troops.Finally, after negotiation between the two parties, it was agreed to hold the gala, but they must control their own personnel and not leave the gala at will. The party was held on the farm field, and the farm workers sat on the side of the field early. The young women were dressed in gorgeous ethnic costumes, chatting and laughing in groups, and some were chasing and playing. "One-two-three-four", with a majestic and powerful slogan, the third artillery company, led by the platoon leader on duty, came to the party with neat steps and sat on the other side of the venue. The male host of the party was Zhang Haitao, the second platoon leader of the Third Artillery Company, and he looked even more heroic in military uniform.The hostess is the secretary of the Youth League Committee of the farm. Her well-proportioned and small figure is even more beautiful and lovely in Dai costumes. Before the party, the secretary of the farm spoke on behalf of all the staff. He praised the strict military discipline of the troops. When the training time was very tight, he spared a lot of manpower and material resources to support the production of the farm. , You really deserve to be the people's army. I wish you more victories and a triumphant return as soon as possible. Zou Jun spoke on behalf of the troops. He said: "After we came here for training, you provided us with a lot of convenience, gave the troops the best house to live in, and often sent meat, food and fruits to the company. As long as the troops encountered Difficulties, you immediately extended a helping hand, which truly embodies the "military and civilian unity as one, let's see who can be the enemy in the world". We will not disappoint the frontier people's ardent expectations of the army, and will defend the motherland's frontier with practical actions, so that you have a A peaceful and stable production and living environment.” The party has begun.First of all, Zou Jun commanded the soldiers of the whole company to sing "I am a soldier, from the common people". The moon on the fifth day, the youth of the Dong nationality blew a song "Night of the Dong Township" with gourd silk.The party finally reached its climax. A bonfire was lit in the middle of the venue. Young women from the Dai, Yi, and Miao nationalities ran over to hold Zou Jun and the soldiers, and danced happily around the bonfire hand in hand. The young men held long The reeds are dancing and blowing in the outer circle.The whole farm is like a sea of ​​joy. After a period of rectification, the mental outlook of the Third Artillery Company has undergone great changes, with tense style of work, strict discipline, and great improvement in training performance.After visiting the company, the head and political commissar highly praised it.Especially the housekeeping hygiene is very beautiful.The beds of more than 90 people in the auditorium are neatly arranged. The quilts are folded like tofu, and they are in a line no matter whether you look at them horizontally or vertically; orderly. The head of the regiment ordered the chief of the military affairs section to notify the battalion commanders to lead all the squad leaders to visit and learn from the Third Artillery Company.Later, the division commander held an on-site meeting for cadres above the whole division company in the Third Artillery Company, and Zou Jun introduced the company's change process. After learning about the situation, the army chief decided to hold an on-site wartime administrative management meeting here.The Artillery Division, Division A, Division B attached to the X Army, and cadres above the regiment held an on-site meeting here to study wartime administrative management issues, and visited the internal affairs, which were praised by leaders at all levels. On Sunday, Zou Jun took his correspondents to a nearby town to catch March Street. It has been more than three months since the troops went to the front line, and he hasn’t written a letter to his wife. It’s not that he doesn’t have time to write a letter, but he doesn’t want to write. He is afraid that his wife will be too burdened after knowing that he has gone to war, so he wants to put all the mental pressure on him. One person bears.A few days ago, I received a letter from my wife, complaining that he did not write to her, because he had forgotten her mother and daughter.No way, he wrote the first letter after arriving at the front last night, comforting her that he participated in the military exercise organized by the General Staff with the army, and is currently stationed in the suburbs of Kunming for training, everything is fine, please don't worry about it.He wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of rushing to March Street today to send the letter, and at the same time send some money to her mother and daughter, so as not to owe them too much in life. The small town in the frontier is a belt-shaped village, with a narrow and long street passing through the village, and the high-rise buildings next to the street make the street appear narrower and longer.The streets are filled with all kinds of small commodities with ethnic characteristics. Peasants in national costumes are picking out their favorite commodities. Lovers run back and forth hand in hand. On the hillside outside the village, singing sounds come and go Fu, young men and women are using love songs to find their beloved. Zou Jun hurriedly walked on the street. He had no intention of admiring the beautiful scenery of the town, and wanted to find the post office in a hurry.Suddenly he was attracted by the smell of tobacco. In front of an old man, there was a basket of carefully processed shredded tobacco. The thin shredded tobacco exuded a strong fragrance.So I bought two catties, put it in a plastic bag, and bought two feet of white cloth to wrap the seam firmly, and I was going to send it to my elderly father. He knew that his father's greatest hobby was smoking. Before going to the battlefield, he would try his best to be a son again Be filial. At the post office, Zou Jun took out the 300 yuan he had saved from living frugally for several months. This was all his savings, and he was about to go to the battlefield. Only by sending the money back could he fulfill his wish.He sent two hundred yuan to his wife and son, and another hundred yuan and shredded tobacco to his father. After the formalities were completed, he let out a long breath, as if he had settled his mind, and hurried back. The regiment plans to conduct a physical fitness test for its affiliated companies, fully armed for a five-kilometer cross-country race, and the marching route is uniformly formulated.In order to achieve good results, the Third Artillery Company held a cadre meeting to study the deployment. The company commander Zhao Guowei led the team in the front, the instructor Zou Jun promoted and encouraged the troops, and the deputy company commander Zhu Xuewen and deputy instructor Hou Tianshun took care of them to ensure that no one was missed. Reach the destination in the fastest time. After the company was assembled and ready to go, Zou Jun decided to mobilize the troops for the last time.He said: "Comrades! Today is an inspection by the head of the regiment on our training results for several months. He requires everyone to not be afraid of hardships or tiredness in cross-country competitions, carry forward the spirit of unity and mutual assistance, care for each other, help each other, and strive to achieve一个不拉，用最快的速度到达终点，以优异的成绩向首长汇报。大家有没有决心？” “有。”战士们异口同声地回答。 部队出发了，战士们背着挎包、水壶、四颗手榴弹、冲锋枪、八二无后坐礼炮和八二迫击炮被分解开，由战士轮流扛。 连长赵国伟在前面控制速度，太快后面体力差的跟不上，考核成绩是最后一名同志到达的时间算全连的时间，慢了也不行。 部队来到距终点不远的山脚下，山虽然不高，坡也不陡，但是体力消耗很大，爬山的速度明显减慢，邹军从战士肩上抢过火炮就走，他的行动感染了大家，体力好的同志，不停地替体力差同志们扛枪扛炮。战士的情绪立即被调动起来，互相鼓励着，往山头上冲。到山头后，一下看到几百米外的终点，红旗飞舞，精神大振，向猛虎一样往山下飞奔。离终点只有几十米了，两个同志跑不动了，这时先到终点的同志，又跑回来，有的接过肩上的武器，有的架住战士的胳膊往前跑。随着作训参谋手中的秒表往下一按，时间定格在23分16秒。成绩在全团所有连队中名列第三，在炮兵连队列第一名。 这次比赛中，战士们集体荣誉感非常强，发扬了拚搏精神，取得了优异成绩。在返回的路上，队列整齐，歌声嘹亮。 “父病故速回”，通讯员把战士李石头家乡武装部的一封电报送到邹军面前。部队马上就要上前线了，在这关键时刻，哪能让战士回去。为了不给李石头思想造成大的负担，他决定和小李谈一谈，问一下家庭情况，父亲的身体状况，并对他最近的表现给予了表扬，鼓励他今后要发扬成绩，争取立功受奖。 邹军看李石头情绪很好，就慢慢地把他父亲病故的事告诉了他，他立即大哭起来，情绪激动，说我父亲就我一个儿子，非得回去送终不可。 邹军说：“俗话说'养儿防老'，儿子给老子送终，是天经地义的事，是中华民族的传统，也是人之常情，再应该不过了。可是我们马上就要上前线了，'养兵千日，用兵一时'，现在正是国家需要我们的时候，怎能回家处理父亲的后事。你不能回家的主要原因，是越南在我边疆不断进行武装挑衅造成的。因此，你要把这些仇和恨，记在越南鬼子身上，狠狠地打击敌人，争取用战功来安慰你父亲的英灵。” 李石头的情绪慢慢地被稳定下来，他表示坚决服从部队的需要，化悲痛为力量，勇敢作战，杀敌立功，以实际行动来祭奠父亲的英灵。 随后，邹军写了两封信，一封寄给李石头的家里，首先代表全连官兵，向小李全家进行哀悼，请他们节哀。其次，把目前部队就要参战的情况，向家里进行了介绍，请全家给予理解，并协助做好儿子的思想工作。第二封信是写给当地政府的，主要内容是把部队当前的任务讲了一下，请他们协助做好李石头家庭的工作，代表部队对他的家庭进行慰问，并给予适当的照顾。 根据上级要求，连队要组织一次野外生存训练，时间三天，每人每天二两米，其他食品、蔬菜一律不配发，自行解决吃饭的问题。 三炮连决定，把连队统一拉到野外生存训练区域，然后由各排组织实施，连队干部分配到各排跟随训练。部队开到训练地区后，这里山高林密，每个排被指定在一个活动区域，排与排之间不许互相走动，每天用电话向连部汇报一次当天的情况，邹军和二排一同训练。 第一天大家心情特别好，由于森林地面上，腐烂树叶生长出许多蘑菇，有的五颜六色，非常鲜艳好看，大家跑来跑去争相采摘，一会儿功夫采了一大行军锅，中午加工后每人半碗。战士庆幸生存训练选的地方好，吃的东西不象想象的那么困难，虽然只吃了半碗蘑菇，没有米饭吃，感觉还比较好。但是，十四时后，有的战士开始出现腹痛拉肚现象，随着时间的推移拉肚的人越来越多。邹军已经预料到是吃蘑菇中毒，立即让卫生员给每人发几片解毒药品，蘑菇是不能在吃了，只能找别的东西充饥。 由于第一天大多数同志食物中毒拉肚，战士们感到身体疲乏无力，第二天早上，只得动用少量的大米，熬了一锅稀粥，每人一碗补充营养，虽然粥稀的能照见人影，因一天没有吃饭，大家喝起来感觉到是那么香甜可口。又有了力量投入到新的训练中。 大家分头采集野果、野菜充饥。中午时分有几个战士扛回了一大串芭蕉和几个菠萝。芭蕉还没有长熟不能吃，一个战士出了主意：“把芭蕉砍成一个个用黄沙埋起来，在太阳下爆晒几个小时就可以吃了”。马上有几个人行动起来，有的人等不及了，就在火上烧着吃；还有几个人把菠萝的皮一削就吃，结果嘴麻的无法张口说话；原来鲜菠萝不能直接生吃，削好后要用盐水泡一下才能食用，因为野外生存带盐有限，只得凑合着吃吧。 有一个战士在采野果时，遇到个直径60厘米，高有近80厘米的大马蜂窝，不小心被马蜂蜇了一下，捂着脸跑回来。战士李石头听说后，非常高兴，他穿上防化服，戴上防毒面具，拿了一个麻袋向马蜂窝走去。只见他爬上树后，用麻袋套住马蜂窝扎好口，然后把树枝折断，把马蜂窝扛了回来，用行军锅烧了一锅热水，把装马蜂窝的麻袋按进热水中，只听见马蜂“吱吱”直叫，一会儿他把麻袋捞出来，倒出马蜂窝，一层一层地撕开，把里面的蛹，倒在铝盆里，用油炒了炒，每个班一盘，开始有的人不敢吃，在李石头的带动下，大家吃的特别有味，真可以称的上美味佳肴。 晚上露营时正遇上下雨，上级要求不能过多的折树枝搭窝棚，连部要求每个排搭一个窝棚，里面只能睡两个人，其余人员一律在外露营。为了防止山洪暴发冲走人员，选择地势较高的地方休息，每人周围挖一圈排水沟，然后铺好被褥睡好后，上面用一块塑料布盖好，为防止风吹走，另一人把塑料布周围用土压住。最后两人在大家睡下后，才回窝棚里休息。夜里，突然下起雨来，雨打在塑料布上“嗒嗒”直响，水在周围哗哗流过，战士们无法入睡，又不能翻身，有的战士整整躺了一夜。 野外生存训练进行到第三天，战士已经饥饿难忍，只得在南方兵的带领下到处寻找木薯。木薯在山上比较多，它是一种小树，根部比较发达，长的又粗又长，皮有点发红和红薯差不多，平时老乡都喂猪用。战士挖来木薯后，煮了一锅，邹军拿了一块尝了尝，像红薯一样有点干面，就是味道有点苦。一个兵说：“烧烧好吃”。于是又烧了几块，烧的比水煮的好吃，没有苦味更干面，充饥可以，但没有营养。随后把剩下的一点大米熬成了粥，每人一碗，因为训练结束时，要进行一次进攻演习。 下午三时，在连长赵国伟的指挥下，三个排从不同方向，向预定的山头发起冲锋，顺利地占领了阵地，连队圆满地完成了野外生存训练。 司务长刘宏林去砚山县城买生活用品，邹军委托他花了176元，买了一部海鸥牌120照相机，他想用照相机把难得的战斗生活记录下来。利用训练间隙，给各班战士照了一张合影，给每个战士也留了一张影。他学会冲胶卷，洗照片，买了显影粉和定影粉，自制了一个小木盒子，里面安装了一个红色和白色小灯泡，没有磨砂玻璃，就用普通玻璃用砂纸打磨一下代替，木盒一端，安了一个手动开关，控制曝光时间。 尤其是在战场上，他经常冒着生命的危险，记录了许多战斗生活，在环境恶劣的猫耳洞里，冲洗了大量的照片。 晚上九时三十分，部队正准备休息，营部通信员送来紧急命令。“小克底村发现越军特工活动，命令你连轻装前进，迅速搜捕。” 连长赵国伟和指挥班长，迅速展开军用地图，寻找小克底村，指挥尺不停地在军用地图上量着距离和方位，指挥班长迅速报出距离六公里，海拔高度1830米。 副连长朱学文组织发放弹药，每人30发子弹，两颗手榴弹。 部队在山间的崎岖小道上急促地行进，夜晚的山林非常宁静，不时惊动入林休息的鸟儿飞起。 “请注意！前方路险，”口令不停地从前面传来。 夜间行军，困难很大，羊肠小道非常难行，容易迷失方向，不能大声喧哗，还得管制灯火。部队走一段，停下来，对照一下地图，看走得是否正确。 经过一小时二十五分钟，终于赶到目的地。 按照命令，在五号地区立即展开搜捕行动。 为了不让越南的特工漏网，连长命令三个排，从三个方向进行合围。要加强排与排之间结合部的警戒，发现越南特工后要尽量抓活的，不许乱开枪。 山坡上的灌木丛中，战士们在拉网式搜索，树上、大石头下、山洞里成了搜索的重点。包围圈越来越小，最后部队围住了悬崖下的一个山洞，洞里发出响声，立即组织喊话，这时两个人从山洞里举着手走出来，几个战士迅速扑上去，把他按到在地，只听一声“快放手，自己人”。原来是营部搞的反特工演习，用兄弟连队的两名战士扮演的越南特工。 邹军收到妻子写的第二来封信，信中说村里到处传说你去越南打仗了，到底是不是，我和全家非常担心，请马上回信。信里还有儿子写的一张纸条，“爸爸！我非常想你，你什么时候回来，我现在已经上学了，一定好好学习，请爸爸放心。”他拿起信和纸条吻了一下，装进上衣口袋里，用手轻轻按了一下，害怕丢了似的。 部队接到参战命令后，团政治处给每位参战人员的家乡政府去函，说明该同志根据中央军委的命令，已赴中越边界，执行作战任务，请当地政府对该同志的家庭，在生活上给予适当地照顾。 所以，邹军奔赴越南参战的事早已在家乡传开，大家怕他家里的人担心，一直都在瞒着，不知那个人说漏了嘴，传到他妻子耳朵，引起了她的疑心。 邹军想，既然如此，不如慢慢地给她透漏点情况也好，省得他万一“光荣了”，她一下子接受不了。就给她去信，说自己虽然在中越边界，但是离战场很远，主要是担任预备队，不一定打仗，让她放心。 根据上级的命令，部队用两天时间，进行临战训练总结，为开赴战场作思想准备。首先邹军进行了动员，他讲了这次总结的意义、方法和要求。在总结中，要把成绩讲透，问题找准，大讲特讲训练中的好人好事，达到鼓舞士气的目的。 其次，在班排总结的基础上，每班抽出一至两人，在全连军人大会上发言，重点讲本班训练中的主要成绩，表扬好人好事，增强战士的荣誉感。 总结大会开的非常成功，大家争着发言，有时几个人同时站起来，要求发言，互不相让。有的班长发言后，其他同志认为讲得不够，站起来继续作补充发言。先后有十八个同志发言，概括的非常全面。 团政工处李干事来到连队，给即将参战的人员照相，首先给连队干部和各班照了一张合影像，然后又分别给每人照了一张免冠二寸照片，登记存档，万一哪位同志在战场上“光荣了”，就不愁没有遗像了。战士都想照的精神些，专门换上了新军装，又拿出镜子照了又照，头发梳了又梳，害怕照不好就太遗憾了。 河南省偃师县岳滩乡某村，是邹军的家乡，伊河和洛河从南北方向穿过，所以当地人俗称“夹河滩”。这里地势低洼，解放前十年九涝，许多人逃荒要饭。今年天公不作美，雨下的特别大，地里到处都是水，平时麦子早都种上了，现在地里的水才刚刚退完，地太湿没有办法机耕。 邹军的妻子柳芳，得知丈夫赴中越边界参加自卫反击作战后，思想负担较重，没有心思种地。近三亩的地靠一个女人，用锹翻地谈何容易。眼看周围其他户的地都已耕完，正在晒地，有的已经种上小麦。唯独柳芳的地里，玉米杆直直地长了一大片。 柳芳的妹妹看到姐姐伤心的样子，就和新婚不久的丈夫商量，“咱姐夫去越南打仗，姐姐一人在家带着孩子太难了，每当晚上孩子睡后，经常一个人偷偷地哭，她承受的精神压力太大了，不能太苦了咱姐姐，咱去帮帮她吧！” "Ok!" 柳芳的妹妹和丈夫，放下自己家中的活不干，早早地来到邹军的家，一住就是几天，起早贪黑的干，翻地、平整，直到把麦子全部种上了，才回家干自己的活。真是在关键时刻，才体现了亲情的重要。 后来，邹军得知真情后非常感激她们，只要他们家遇到困难，就义不容辞地给与帮助。 , 接师部命令，军马不再上前线，每个步兵团成立一个军马队，A团军马队长有二炮连连长担任，指导员由三机连副指导员担任。全师统一集中在麻栗坡县居住。 晚上，召开支委会，研究驭手班下班人员，确定驭手班留下的十人外，其余七人分别下到炮班。 第二天，团派来六台汽车，一台装物资，五台装军马，装好后由副连长朱学文带队，把军马送到指定地点。 上午，进行上前线动员。会议由副连长朱学文主持，首先唱《解放军进行曲》；其次连长宣布×军动员令；接着邹军进行战前动员，最后他带领党员宣誓：“坚决执行党的决议，服从命令听指挥，发扬先锋模范作用，做到冲锋在前，享受在后，不怕苦不怕死；确保祖国领土一寸不丢。永不叛党，誓死不作俘虏。” 按照命令，三炮连驻守在麻栗坡县南温和乡漫庄村。 副连长、司务长、文书三人，打前站已经出发。 原计划×军十一月二十一日接防，因为近期边境形势紧张，越军不断向前沿阵地开枪开炮，破坏交通，封锁道路，他们采取近地作业，向阵地挖交通沟、堑壕，步步紧逼，在三天内就向前沿阵地发射炮弹六千多发，×军接防部队被堵在麻栗坡，换防工作被迫推迟。 1984年12月4日，部队6时30分起床，打背包，清理武器弹药和个人装备，上午打扫卫生，擦拭大礼堂的凳子和窗子，清理物资、还借老乡的东西，把农场里里外外打扫的干干净净。 上午，连长赵国伟组织部队进行乘车教育，讲了上级的有关规定和要求。最后，11名班长和3名排长，分别表了决心，确保安全、准时地把部队带到前线，请领导放心。 中午，配属三炮连的四辆汽车开到连队，其中一辆装作战物资，另三辆拉三个排，炊事班和九连合用一辆车，副连长组织装车。 下午，部队休息。邹军到农场找领导告别，并对几个月来，对部队的大力支持再次表示感谢。 晚上，看电影《高山下的花环》，这部电影生动地再现了，中越自卫反击战的场面，实事求是地反映了梁三喜、靳开来的英雄形象，使这些即将奔赴战场的军人，感动地留下了眼泪。 11时连队点名后，邹军指挥全连战士唱“再见吧妈妈”，刚开始大家的声音还比较大，越唱声音越小，最后竟泣不成声，泪流满面。邹军见状，马上停止，不让大家唱了。他真后悔让大家唱这首歌，平时战士们很喜欢唱这首歌，没想到此时此刻，大家才真正理解歌词的含义，也许真是最后一次和妈妈说再见了。 部队开始登车，连长赵国伟带一排，邹军带二排，三排长李延来带本排，副指导员侯天顺带物资车。11时30分，部队开始向战区开进。
