Chapter 8 Chapter 8 Confrontation

The fierce battle gradually subsided, and occasional sniping fires occurred in the forward positions. The companies took advantage of this rare opportunity to build fortifications that were destroyed by the artillery fire. The Three Artillery Company held a backbone meeting.Zou Jun conveyed the spirit of the party committees in the 148 and 262 highland battalions.He said: "The regiment requires all companies to strengthen position management, because the quality of position management is a major issue related to the non-combat attrition of the position; it is an important issue related to whether cadres are responsible for the lives of soldiers; The price is in exchange for great results, and the question of whether it can be persisted for a long time. Therefore, the regiment and the battalion require our party members and backbones to raise awareness of the importance of position management and give full play to everyone's enthusiasm. Strengthen position management, reduce unnecessary casualties, and make the position Organized, clean and tidy; strive to achieve standardized housekeeping and sanitation, uniform placement of things, standardized daily life, and combat-oriented work. Each shift should use the existing conditions to beautify the position and plant banana forests and pineapple gardens ;Use canned bottles and shell boxes as flower pots, plant a large number of old mountain orchids and unknown flowers and plants; strive to win the model position in the division and regiment appraisal; make soldiers relax their nervousness and fight easily. We must also educate everyone, carry forward their achievements, overcome Spleen thoughts and slack emotions, as well as the war-weary thoughts of eager to get off the ground, establish the idea of ​​​​long-term combat. Each squad should hold a meeting, unify their thinking, and act immediately."

Therefore, the soldiers moved bananas, papaya and other trees from the hillside and planted them around the artillery; shell boxes, old orchids planted in cans, and some unknown flowers and plants were neatly placed on the position; I watered it carefully with the washed water; the position suddenly became alive, and everyone was in a much happier mood, which brought infinite joy. Whenever they had time, they squatted in front of the flowerpot and admired it carefully. At noon, Zou Jun was resting on the "bed" in the command post. He was awakened by a "rustling" sound in the dimness. Plastic sheeting up and down.The snake stuck out its long tongue, and it came down little by little, with half of its body hanging in the air, and the snake's head was less than 50 centimeters away from Zou Jun's face.He lay motionless on the bed, broke out in a cold sweat, and kept thinking about how to deal with this unexpected guest.

The snake was getting closer and closer to Zou Jun's face, and he could already feel the cool air from the snake on his face, and at the same time, there was a very unpleasant smell, what should we do?Hit, he can't catch the guy for a while; run, move his body, and get closer to the snake, what should he do if he bites?Wait, doesn't that mean you're dying in vain? This was hard for him, he lay on the bed, closed his eyes and felt worried, don’t close them, and was afraid in his heart, really hated that this guy came at the wrong time, he was alone in the command post, no one could help him, and he couldn’t help him. shout loudly.He waited patiently, observing the movement of the snake, hoping to wait until an opportunity favorable to him appeared; time passed bit by bit, and the snake was getting closer to him, and he could already feel the cool air exhaled by the snake on his face, one after another. The battle was coming; his heart became more and more tense, and he sweated continuously.

Suddenly, a black thing flew towards his head. "It's over," Zou Jun thought to himself. It hit him on the forehead with a "snap", and he instinctively touched it with his hand. It turned out that it was a clod of soil brought down by the snake, and he felt a false alarm in his heart. At this time, after a period of temptation, the snake could not get down, and slowly shrank back.Zou Jun saw the opportunity coming, got up and ran.After several soldiers heard about it, they ran in quickly. A soldier from Guangdong took an automatic rifle, opened the bayonet, judged by the sound, stabbed the plastic cloth on the roof of the shed once, twice——, the snake was killed. The bayonet stabbed and rolled back and forth on the plastic sheeting, making a "popping" sound.The bayonet stabbed tighter and tighter. After a while, the snake fell to the ground. It was too late to say it, but it was soon. He grabbed the snake's neck with one hand, and then held the snake's tail with one hand, shaking it a few times in the air. Down, the snake didn't move.

He tied the snake's neck with a rope, hung it from a tree, cut a piece of bamboo with a knife, split off a sharp piece of bamboo, slowly peeled off the snake's skin, put it in a pot to boil, and then bit by bit Picked off the meat, added a la carte, fried a plate, and served it to Zou Jun.Zou Jun hated the snake so much that he immediately called everyone to taste the delicacy. In recent days, the Vietnamese army has been firing artillery at the front of Regiment A, blocking the traffic arteries from the bow to the forward positions, and often shooting at the deep artillery positions. People are injured or sacrificed almost every day. Conduct a target test.

Various positions, hills, bridges, and obvious markers have all become the targets of the enemy's test firing.The national defense highway that has just been built is like a ribbon, winding around the mountainside. Some sections of the road have not yet been opened to traffic, but they are full of bullet craters and impassable. On the upper floor of the frontier inspection station at the bow, the five-star red flag flying high makes the enemy the primary target for shooting.Although the building was blown down, the national flag of China, like the Chinese nation, never bows its head and still flutters in the wind. The flag was blown to pieces, but a new national flag stood there again.

A series of telephone lines passed through an open field and converged to Litouzhai. This is the communication hub of the A regiment. The switchboard of the communication company is located there, and it is often the target of the enemy's shelling.At this time, a shell fell right next to the wire, and more than a dozen wires were blown off at the same time. Two telephone soldiers braved the enemy's artillery fire and came out to check the line. They held the line with their hands and ran one after the other. Shells kept exploding beside them, and they lay down for a while and jumped forward for a while.Suddenly, a shell landed at the feet of a soldier, and there was a flash of fire. The whole body was thrown into the air by the shock wave, and the intestines were hanging on the tree and swinging back and forth. Whenever people passed by, they felt a bitter feeling.A few days later, Zou Jun asked the soldiers to pick out the intestines with a stick.

The sound of the artillery angered the soldiers, and the Third Artillery Company and Brother Company were ordered to fight back. The soldiers quickly ran to the artillery positions, and the artillery shells kept flying towards the enemy's positions.In just a few hours, the third artillery company alone fired more than 200 shells. A narrow path passes through a dense bamboo forest and extends to the foot of the mountain. A thatched-roof house on the side of the road is covered by a banana forest. A bunch of big and long bananas hang on the tree, exuding a tangy fragrance; In front of me stood a few red-black bamboo chairs that had been used for many years; the dense leaves of several papaya trees around were swaying in the breeze, and some ripe papayas had died because no one picked them in time It turns orange and exudes a tempting fragrance; on the tripods made of bamboo, there are split moso bamboos, which lead to a mountain spring on the mountainside. A Dai girl by the pool is doing laundry, singing love songs non-stop, "Brother! My sister misses you day and night, and I hope that my brother will come to me soon..."

At this time, a deputy instructor of a certain department happened to pass by here. He was attracted by the beautiful singing voice, and unconsciously walked towards the place where the singing voice wafted.Immediately stunned by the scenery in front of me, in the misty woods, houses appear and disappear; a beautiful girl, wearing a gorgeous national costume, is doing laundry, and the mallet in her hand hits the clothes, and the splashed water drops are like pearls It hangs on his face; he is like walking into a fairy tale world, white clouds hold up houses and slowly float into the air, and fairies are chasing and frolicking in the clouds...

The girl raised her head and glanced at the soldier in front of her. From her thin lips, she let out a series of sweet voices: "Binggege! Take a break and drink some water, okay?" The assistant instructor kept saying "Good! Good!" followed the girl to the room and sat down. The girl quickly poured two cups of tea, put them on the table, took off her coat and chatted with him.When she learned that the comrade of the People's Liberation Army sitting in front of her was a deputy instructor of a certain department, she immediately showed a happy smile on her face.She also introduced herself and said: "Because of the war, her family members were sent to the rear farms by the government. I came back today to visit my home after being away for dozens of days. I was lucky to meet my elder brother and I am very happy." She put the stools together Moved a bit.A clear smell of sweet-scented osmanthus perfume made him intoxicated.

He raised his head and carefully looked at the girl in front of him: on Guazi's face, under the thin willow-leaf eyebrows, two big eyes were alive and charming, revealing a charming light; the sweet voice was pleasant to the ear, and the two dimples on the face appeared and disappeared; On her long neck, she wears a white silver necklace surrounded by trumpet-shaped ornaments with thick fingers; on the short corset, half of her two big and white breasts are exposed, with deep cleavage , extending down from the breast room, the breasts are more plump and straight; under the corset, the thin skin is white and smooth, and the round belly button is particularly eye-catching; under the short skirt, on the two thin and long legs , wearing thin silk stockings and a pair of embroidered slippers on her feet. He felt his blood boil, and he didn't dare to look any longer, his eyes reluctantly moved away from the girl's body. At this time, the girl suddenly sat on his lap, with her two slender arms resting on his shoulders, her eyes staring at his face with a smile.He stood there in a daze, not knowing what to do.After a while he came back to his senses, he hugged the girl's slender waist tightly with both hands, and kept stroking the girl's back with both hands. Their faces were pressed tightly together and rubbed gently; their mouths Moved to one piece unconsciously, first kissed lightly a few times, and then kissed frantically again, the two tongues stirred and entwined each other in the mouth, as if to entangle the five internal organs and six lungs together, and then Suck hard, sucking the other person's tongue so that he can't move, as if he wants to suck the other person into his stomach.His hands quietly removed her corset, and kept rubbing her breasts; her hands unbuttoned his trousers, and her delicate hands slowly reached in, grabbing his breasts Long, hard, warm "guy", stroked gently; then his mouth moved to her breasts, tongue licking lightly around the nipples, and soon he had the nipples in his mouth again , kept sucking; her hand grabbed his two small balls again, and suddenly she grabbed it hard, "Oops", he passed out on the ground and lost consciousness immediately. At this time, four girls rushed out from the back room and quickly trapped him with ropes.It turned out that they were Ruan Wenhui, the captain of the Vietnamese Secret Service Brigade, who led several special agents to lurk behind Division A, and took advantage of the lure of beauty to capture the prisoners.Then, they used the cover of night and the familiar terrain to bring people back to Vietnam, and used torture to force out military secrets. The enemy bombarded the important military facilities and command organs at the front of Division A, and repeatedly used loudspeakers. Playing his recordings and carrying out negative propaganda has affected the combat effectiveness of the border guards.In the end, he was brought to Hanoi, where Vietnamese and Western press conferences were held to carry out political propaganda attacking China.When the value of this deputy instructor was used up, the Vietnamese army brutally killed him. On the kapok tree in front of the command post of the Third Artillery Company, the leaves have not yet grown, but the buds are getting bigger and bigger, some are already budding, and the buds the size of ping-pong balls are hanging all over the branches. In late March, the temperature on the front line has reached more than 30 degrees.The soldiers lived in the dark, humid, and hot cat's ear holes for a long time. Facing the harsh life and harsh environment, they did not take a bath or change their clothes for several months.Because of the lack of water, the soldiers risked their lives to bring back the water, which was difficult to drink, let alone brushing teeth and doing laundry.Wearing dirty and damp clothes all day long, I covered my body with prickly heat, which was very itchy and uncomfortable, and the crotch gradually appeared, and the root of the scrotum slowly began to fester, and the pain and itching alternated, how uncomfortable it was, how uncomfortable it was.Sitting, lying, and walking are inconvenient, and the legs must be spread apart during activities.The feet are also rotten. Once a piece of skin is peeled off, they will be barefoot all day long, and walking will hurt terribly. Some soldiers put woven bags on their feet and hold the woven bags with both hands when walking. The crotch is getting worse and worse, and the clothes are really unwearable. I don't know who took the lead to bare the buttocks, and I feel much better immediately.One spread to ten, ten to hundreds, more and more people with bare buttocks, still unable to stop the rotten crotch, the yellow water seeping from the root of the scrotum, flowing down the thighs, wherever it flows, it rots.Cadres want to save face and say that they have to hang a trousers. A few soldiers who are particular about wearing a trousers. Some people joked: "This is a young cadre." When fighting, grab a helmet and put it on your head, and run away naked After going out, I grabbed the grenade and threw it, picked up the gun and shot, and then got into the cat's ear hole after shooting. A soldier said: "There are widow companies in Vietnam. You are naked, so you are not afraid of being seen." "It's good to see it. They just look at it, so they won't beat us." There was a soldier who was wearing trousers, his crotch was so badly rotten that his trousers were stuck to his skin and he couldn’t take it off. Other comrades helped him take it off. Didn't save face, and didn't keep that "place." It was raining, and everyone was very happy. Some put their helmets outside to catch water; He raised his face and opened his mouth wide, taking the opportunity to drink his fill.However, it is troublesome when it rains too much. It flows down the hillside and suddenly flows into the trench, filling the cat's ear holes again. The "home" is gone. What should I do?I can’t stay outside for long, so I still have to go into the “home.” So I picked up the helmet and scooped the water out of the trench. After the scoop was finished, the moisture-proof quilt in the cat’s ear hole could not be covered after being soaked in water. The two wrung out the water vigorously, set it on the edge of the trench to dry, and exposed the target again, which immediately caused a burst of gunfire.The soldiers had to get into the cat's ear hole and sit on the muddy ground, unable to rest for a long time. The kapok tree next to the command post is covered with blooming flowers, and the huge kapok is fiery red.It is reborn in the flames of war, blooms in the smoke of gunpowder, and is not afraid of hardships and dangers, accompanying soldiers day and night.Although its branches are constantly broken by artillery fire, it still stands tenaciously on the hill. It is really a hero flower. It has witnessed the heroic deeds of the soldiers, and it is the blood of the soldiers that stained it red.The fiery red flowers and the military flag echo each other, bringing bravery, wisdom, determination to overcome difficulties, and confidence to win the battle to the soldiers.The soldiers loved it more than their own lives. When they saw the flowers broken by the artillery fire, they immediately picked them up, put them in canning bottles, and carefully maintained them with the most precious water they usually saved. Kapok will always bloom in the hearts of soldiers. After a period of rectification, great changes have taken place in the positions of the Third Artillery Company. The fruit trees, flowers and plants planted by the soldiers have survived after careful management.The toilets are also open-air, and a shelter has been set up to solve the problem of using the toilet in the rain and the scorching sun.It has changed the environment on the position better, and was rated as a "model position" in the evaluation organized by the A Division. At the political work meeting of the battalion, Zou Jun introduced in detail the work experience of the company since it went to the battlefield. He said: "Recently, the morale of the company has been strong, and the instructions of the superiors have been resolutely carried out. It has also been rated as a model position by the division. Its main experience is to do a good job in a targeted manner according to the constantly changing tasks. For example: when receiving 160 mortars, Educate everyone to overcome the fear of difficulties, and learn the basic operation essentials in three days; when building a position, educate everyone to overcome the fear of hardship and tiredness; When fighting, we mainly guide everyone to overcome grievances; when fighting, we use the advanced deeds of heroes and models to inspire everyone. The second is to take the pulse of prospective soldiers and do ideological and political work in a timely manner. When soldiers feel bored, we send books and periodicals in time so that they have When the soldiers miss home, they send the letters from relatives in their hometown and the envelopes and letter paper they bought to Maoerdong on time, and encourage everyone with the instructions of their relatives; Bring condolences to the battlefield for condolences; between battles, use the phone to spread the news of victory and boost morale; Love the motherland, fight for the people, fight for the motherland, and fight for justice; when it is inconvenient to meet, use notes to convey the situation, convey the branch's resolutions and actions." His presentation won praise from the participating companies and leaders.The instructor conveys the spirit of the group meeting. He said: "Since our division entered the position, we have repelled three division-scale attacks of the Vietnamese Army, five battalion-scale attacks, and more than 50 company-scale attacks, wiped out more than 1,000 enemies, and destroyed 103 artillery pieces; 71 people and 302 people were injured; all companies are required to strengthen management to reduce unnecessary casualties." After a rest, the Ninth Company headed to the front again, sticking to the 145th highland. At the foot of a mountain 800 meters behind the position of the Third Artillery Company, in a tunnel made of reinforced concrete, the third battalion field ambulance station is located inside.There are several horse lanterns hanging on the wall. Doctor Wang and a medical assistant are nervously rescuing the wounded.All injured soldiers must be sent here first, and after simple treatment, they will be transferred to the rear field hospital.Whenever a fierce battle is just over, this place is the busiest. A stretcher comes in and out, and many wounded are rescued from death by them. Recently, there has been no major battle. The front line has turned into a confrontation stage of cold guns and cold guns. The number of wounded has decreased significantly. The place suddenly seemed calm and calm. Doctor Wang sat leisurely at the entrance of the cave and smoked. Zou Jun, who was passing by, saw it and said jokingly, "Doctor Wang! You are so safe here, even if an atomic bomb is dropped, you won't be hurt. Go home and hug your wife!" "Yes! I've already packed my things, and I'm just waiting to get off the battlefield as soon as possible and go home for a reunion." Zou Jun and Doctor Wang Jun chatted for a while, and after drinking a glass of water, they got up to say goodbye. Not long after, the bad news came that Doctor Wang was hit by a 60 mortar shell from the Vietnamese army.Shrapnel severed an artery in his neck, blood spurted out, and he was sprawled on a stretcher nearby.While the medical assistant was bandaging, he organized personnel to send to the regiment field hospital. The military doctor of the regiment field hospital ran to meet him halfway. After the troops returned to Hangzhou, Doctor Wang's wife came from Hefei to deal with the funeral.She made a request to the army, saying: "Her daughter is a descendant of a martyr and should be raised by the army." How can the army raise a four-year-old girl.Some cadres proposed to adopt, but the troops thought that this would chill the hearts of the cadres, so they disagreed.Grandparents from Yimeng mountainous area want to take their granddaughter home.Wang Junyi's wife thinks that the living conditions in the mountainous area are poor and disagrees.In the end, the army mobilized her to take her daughter to Hefei to raise her. According to the regulations, the blood allowance for each martyr is only 1,200 yuan, which was jokingly called the price of a cow by the cadres.On the issue of how to deal with the blood money, the relevant departments of the army think that the parents of the martyrs have lived in remote mountainous areas for a long time, and their lives are difficult. Can they give some money to the parents of the martyrs. Wang Junyi's wife said, "I don't want any money, and neither can his parents. It's all for his daughter." The parents of the martyrs were the model supporters in the Yimeng Mountains during the Liberation War. They often rescued the wounded and delivered supplies in the artillery fire, and they had a very high political awareness.When the army leaders asked for their opinions, they said: "We don't want anything. In memory of our son, we want a few military uniforms for his son as a souvenir." The head of the army asked the military supply department to send two sets of summer clothes and two winter clothes.They said: "I only want the clothes worn by my son, because they have his smell and body temperature on them. When I miss my son, I take them out and take a look. I only want my son to be with us forever." What a simple old revolutionary area. Farmers, the only thing they ask for is a few old clothes worn by their sons. When they think of their sons, they have something to think about. This is the front-line ambulance station of the third battalion. Doctor Wang and medical assistants are here to rescue the wounded brought down from the front. They have regained the precious lives of many comrades-in-arms from the hands of death. On the morning of April 2, Zou Jun was sitting in the command post reading a book. "Instructor!" He heard someone calling him. He looked up, and in front of him stood a soldier in shorts with a bare back, with shoulder-length hair and a yellow beard several inches long. He was carrying a plastic bucket filled with water on his back, about five or six years old. Ten catties.Zou Jun couldn't recognize anyone.He kept looking at the person coming. "Instructor! I'm Guo Tianxi, don't you know me?" It turned out that it was Guo Tianxi, the first squad leader assigned to the Ninth Company, who passed by here down the mountain. Zou Jun threw the book away, stood up and helped him remove the bucket on his shoulders, and the two hugged each other tightly.After a while he pushed the opponent away, put his hands on the shoulders of the squad leader, and observed carefully: This is not like a soldier in his 20s, but a tramp in his 50s, with long hair and beard, and his face is more sallow Small and thin, his eyes are not as bright as before; his upper body is jet black and shiny, two deep red marks are left on his shoulders by the backpack belt, and the liberation shoes on his feet have a few holes, and his thumbs are exposed. To walk, he tied the shoes around his ankles with bandages.It's only been a few months since we've been apart, yet I can't recognize the comrades-in-arms I've been with day and night. Zou Jun cried, and he hugged the squad leader again. Guo Tianxi, the first squad leader, reported to Zou Jun the situation of being assigned to the Ninth Company in the past few months.He said: "Our company's two artillery squads are assigned to the Ninth Company to fight. Whenever the attack is blocked, we will be pulled to the forefront to eliminate the enemy's firepower. When we hold our positions, we are at the forefront with the infantry. It cannot be described in words. Water is the most precious thing. Each person has a cup of water a day. When he is thirsty, he licks his tongue. Only when he can’t hold on can he take a sip. I haven’t eaten green vegetables for a long time. As the biggest dream and luxury; due to long-term eating compressed biscuits and canned food, sometimes I can’t defecate for a week, and my face is flushed after defecation, and I have to use my fingers to dig it out. There is no need to stay in the cat’s ear hole during the day. To do it, a soldier carried a Xinhua dictionary from head to tail, and from tail to head. Crawling in the trench at night, he dared not make any noise, otherwise it would attract a burst of gunfire. March 8 After the battle, many comrades died. One night, our squad went to transport the remains of our comrades, but it was dark and we couldn’t see them clearly. We carried back the corpses of five Vietnamese soldiers. Everyone was so angry that they took all the clothes on the corpses of the Vietnamese soldiers. It was stripped, and it turned out that a Vietnamese soldier didn’t even have pubic hair, and he was still a child of thirteen or fourteen. In order to learn a lesson, when transporting the remains of his comrades in the future, he should first look at the direction during the day and measure the distance. Once I went to carry the remains of his comrades , I pulled the arm and fell off, and then pulled the leg, because the corpse was already highly decomposed, and the smell was really bad, so I had no choice but to take a sack and put the arms, legs, etc. in it. On the way back, I kept walking Think, comrade! Please don’t complain, I didn’t intentionally break you apart, there’s nothing I can do about it! From now on, I’ll insist on burning paper for you every Ching Ming Festival.” As he spoke, tears fell from his eyes. Zou Jun affirmed and praised the achievements of his class.He also encouraged Guo Tianxi, the leader of the first squad, to "continue to do a good job in the ideological work of the soldiers, establish the spirit of enduring hardships and psychological preparations for long-term combat, and focus on overcoming the war-weary thinking of rushing to the battlefield. If you encounter difficulties, please call me in time." In the end they were reluctant to part farewell. Afterwards, Zou Jun and Cao Xuejun, the clerk, went to Qiantian 160 mortar position to visit the soldiers who persisted in fighting here.He took his own 120 camera and took a few pictures for everyone. When passing by Litou Village and the bow of the ship, he immediately took pictures when he saw the village destroyed by the Vietnamese army bombing.At night, a man hid in the cat's ear hole and developed the film. He wanted to take this rare opportunity and keep it as a souvenir. Zou Jun was about to rest when suddenly there was intense gunfire from the front line.Then, the phone rang suddenly, and he grabbed the phone, and there was a hurried voice from inside.It turned out that Li Jianwu, a soldier of the Eighth Company of the Third Artillery Company, had poor organizational discipline and seriously violated battlefield discipline. He and the health worker of the machine gun company went from the 168th position to the 166th position to find a fellow villager and use it for a tape recorder. On the way, he was hit by a Vietnamese sniper rifle The neck, the hygienist suffered injuries to the waist.Zou Jun asked their squad to quickly organize fire cover and must rescue the people. In just ten minutes, nearly a hundred rounds of shells were fired, and submachine guns and machine guns kept ringing.The person was finally rescued, but the injury was serious. If the bullet missed by one centimeter, it might hit an artery. At that time, even Hua Tuo had no ability to recover.This incident was immediately criticized by the regiment.Zou Jun once again called each position to report the situation and asked each position to learn a lesson to prevent similar things from happening.After recovering from the injury, the soldier's neck could not rotate freely, leaving a lifelong regret. Zhao Guowei, the company commander of the Third Artillery Company, led three soldiers to open a new observation post on Height 128 in accordance with the order of the artillery unit of the regiment. Highland 128 is a relatively high mountain nearby, surrounded by exposed limestone, there are many limestone honeycombs, and the large caves can squat a person.As long as there is no combat mission, the warrior squats in the cave.When encountering a combat mission, use the cracks in the rocks to observe the enemy's situation. One day, a scout was using a telescope to observe the enemy's situation. He suddenly shouted: "Company commander, look!" It turned out that 1000 meters ahead, there was a blue pond bordering the red land.The Vietnamese army went to fetch water every day, and sometimes they washed clothes in groups of three or four, which was the most ideal target for cold guns.Today, for the first time, a Vietnamese female soldier appeared. She was squatting by the pond, washing her long hair.The high-powered binoculars pulled her in front of her eyes, and her plump breasts were clearly visible in the patched shirt. "Will you fight?" "No." I just heard that there were Vietnamese female soldiers on the front line, and the husband and wife positions. I haven't really seen it, and it's not worthwhile to fight alone with artillery. The soldier joked: "The company commander felt kind when he saw the beautiful female soldier." "It's not kindness, female soldiers! Most of them are widows, and it's really not easy to stick to the front line." From then on, the female soldier would appear by the pond on time every day, washing clothes and carrying water in a leisurely manner, and sometimes standing there, observing the position of Regiment A.She didn't seem to realize that she was on the battlefield, perhaps showing off her beauty to the soldiers of the A regiment.Sometimes when we don't see her for a few days, everyone starts talking about her being sick, dying, and changing defenses.Instead, he cared about her. Due to years of fighting in Vietnam, more male soldiers died and there was a serious shortage of soldiers, so they recruited a large number of female soldiers.Supplemented to Artillery, Signal Corps and Ambulance Corps.There are also "marital positions" often appearing on the front line, where small high grounds are handed over to husband and wife to hold on to, which puts a lot of pressure on their families. Vietnam fought for a long time, its economy developed slowly, and its equipment was very backward. Most of the weapons and ammunition were supported by China and the Soviet Union, and some were captured by France and the United States.Most of the military uniforms he wore were patched one after another, and his food was basically fried noodles, wild vegetables, etc., and he often dug cassava from the mountains to satisfy his hunger.The burning mainly depends on the dry branches picked up.Regiment A's equipment was much more advanced than theirs, and they ate all kinds of canned meat, fruits, and vegetables. Compressed biscuits were the worst food, and generally no one ate them, and the whole bucket was piled up outside the fortifications.All that was burned was aviation kerosene.During the day, the Vietnamese army looked greedy, and often used the cover of night to touch them in pairs, not for sneak attacks, but for stealing.Touch the front of the position, take a bucket of compressed biscuits and run away, sometimes the soldiers ignore it when they see it.There are also individual enemies who throw a few grenades after getting something.This angered the soldiers of regiment A, and they immediately fought back until the enemy was wiped out. From this point of view, Vietnamese soldiers are still worthy of respect. The tender green leaves on the kapok tree in front of the command post are getting bigger and bigger, and some flowers have begun to wither. In recent days, the Vietnamese army has continued to shell and attack more and more fiercely.According to the report from the superior, the Vietnamese army was changing defenses. In order to create an illusion for the Alpha regiment, they deliberately showed signs of attack and covered the troops to change defenses.Therefore, frequent shelling every day disrupts the defensive posture of the Alpha Regiment.Sometimes a small group of troops was used to sneak attack on the forward positions, and artillery was used to attack the bow, Tianbao Farm and the deep artillery positions. On the mountain where the regiment's logistics lived, the smoke from the shell explosion enveloped the entire mountain.The rubber tree as thick as a bucket was thrown into the air by the air waves, and the hillside was covered with branches in all directions.The steel bridge on the Chuantou River was the target of the Vietnamese army's shooting. Countless shells exploded around the bridge, and tall water columns continued to splash in the river. They tried to blow up this transportation line. Division A began to fight back, and the two sides launched an artillery battle.Cannonballs flew through the air non-stop with the sound of the wind.Zou Jun was directing the battle when a shell exploded nearby, and several pieces of strip-shaped shrapnel about ten centimeters long flew in front of him. He bent down to grab one, and his hands were scalded with blisters. Hou Tianshun, the deputy instructor of the Third Artillery Company, was organizing the five cooking teams of the whole battalion to cook outside the tunnel in Litouzhai.At this time, the enemy's artillery fire was fired at them, and the shells exploded on the surrounding hillsides.He quickly commanded the squads to move to the tunnel to avoid the enemy's shelling. Just after the battle, Zou Jun rushed to position 148 to join the battalion party committee.The instructor conveyed the spirit of the regiment's party committee: to strengthen the ideological and political education of soldiers, overcome war weariness and eagerness to go to the battlefield, and establish the concept of long-term combat.In particular, it is necessary to carry out a rectification of the cadres, to further develop the subjective initiative of the cadres, so that the cadres can really play a role model and lead the soldiers in the department well.The longer the troops stand, the stricter the management must be, in order to reduce unnecessary casualties.Finally, to deal with party affairs, Liu Honglin, the director of the Third Artillery Company, Wang Xilai, the sixth squad leader, Guo Sheng, the ninth squad leader, and Jia Minghua, the command squad leader, were approved to join the party. After Zou Jun returned to the command post, he immediately conveyed the spirit of the battalion party committee to the cadres in each position by telephone, and at the same time asked the cadres to have heart-to-heart talks with the soldiers in the positions, so that the idea of ​​long-term combat could be firmly rooted.Then, he convened a meeting of squad leaders at the 82nd mortar position.I understand everyone’s eagerness to go to the battlefield, but you can’t go to the battlefield if you want to. As long as the superiors don’t give orders, we have to stick to it, and it’s useless to think about it.Therefore, it is better not to think or think less, and stick to it until the last moment with peace of mind.The squad leaders expressed that they must do a good job in the ideological work of the soldiers in their squad and resolutely complete the task of holding their ground. At 16:00 on April 17, the two sides stopped shelling, and there was a brief calm on the battlefield.The weather is hot and uncomfortable.At this time, the hygienist quietly came to Zou Jun, "Instructor! Let's go to the back and take a shower?" After thinking about it, Zou Jun led the hygienist to go. 200 meters behind the position of the Third Artillery Company, there is a small stream flowing in a ravine, and the fresh water of the stream is cold and delicious.It should be said that the troops of the B regiment are relatively safe.When Zou Jun passed by here before, he often rested his feet, washed his face, and drank saliva, so he was very familiar with it. They came here, found a gentle place, squatted by the stream, washed their hands, then picked up water, splashed it on their faces a few times, drank a few more, straightened up and took a deep breath , I suddenly felt refreshed and relaxed.After resting for a while, he jumped into the water and took a bath. After washing for a while, the hygienist said: "Instructor! You play in the water for a while, and I will wash our clothes." Zou Jun is playing in the water here, while the hygienist is sitting on a rock and washing clothes.Suddenly a shell came flying with the sound of the wind, and based on his experience, he immediately realized that the shell landed very close to him. "Lie down!" Zou Jun shouted.He quickly hugged his head with his hands and lay on the ground, and the shell exploded a few meters away from them.I only felt that my eyes were dark, and my ears were "buzzing".Then a powerful shock wave threw clods of soil and stones into the air, and fell heavily, hitting Zou Jun's back and head, with green and red patches and several bags. He swayed a bit, but was not hurt.Shouted: "Hygienist! Are you injured!" "No, just got smashed a few times." "Don't move yet, and see if the enemy continues to fire." "clear." After waiting for a while, seeing no movement, they got up and moved their bodies, and then washed again.It is believed that the enemy's artillery went off.Ten minutes later, two more shells flew in, similar to the last time. "No, the enemy has found us, run away." Zou Jun shouted as soon as the explosion ended. They got up from the ground and ran away before they could wash off the dirt on their bodies. The sanitation staff still held unwashed military uniforms in their hands.They ran back to the position naked, and immediately drew roars of laughter from their comrades-in-arms.I didn't take a bath, and I almost died. It's really dangerous. On the morning of April 20th, Zou Jun was planning to go to Qiantian 160 mortar position with Liu Honglin, chief of staff, to visit the soldiers and to understand the situation.Suddenly, the two sides started shelling again, and the fighting became more and more intense. He couldn't leave, so he entrusted Chief of Staff Liu Honglin to check the situation and brought some items to express his condolences. The shelling continued intermittently.The main purpose of the Vietnamese army is to attack the artillery positions and important targets of the A Division.炮弹不停地在三炮连阵地上空飞过，有的则在阵地周围爆炸。使人防不胜防，尤其是经常打一些空暴弹，这时阵地上空就会下一阵“钢珠雨”，容易造成较大的伤亡。 按照命令，邹军正在指挥各炮进行还击。 远程火炮也开始发话，对敌人的炮兵阵地进行射击，压制敌人的火力。炮弹在空中飞来飞去，飞行时的声音连绵不断。尤其是船头、里头寨几个村庄，被炸的几乎成了一片废墟。 短短几个小时，三炮连就发射炮弹238发。 下午，炮击逐渐停止。接着，传来了喜悦的消息。济南军区××军×××师某团张连长来三炮连看阵地。战士们一下围上来，问这问那，最关心的是他们什么时间来接防。邹军和张连长进行了长时间的交谈，了解了他们部队开进和训练情况。为了探索空中运兵的方法，他们有一支部队从济南乘飞机，经过四个小时的飞行到达昆明，每架飞机装载五台解放牌卡车、二台北京吉普和几十名战士。其余人员乘火车到达。他们训练到5月15日结束，预计在20日左右换防。还有一个月时间，大家盼望以久的时刻就要来到，等待和亲人团聚时间已经不远了，很快就会体会到和妻子儿女，久别重逢的人间快乐。许多战士流出了喜悦的眼泪。 近几天，越军炮击时断时续。有时敌人在夜幕的掩护下，不断地派出小股部队，向142、146、211等高地进行偷袭，被A团发现后，双方立即展开猛烈的炮击。 A师驻守在偏马山腰上的85加农炮，直接封锁着越军大青山交通要道，只要发现敌人在这条路上出现，立即给与重创；八里河东山上的130火箭炮，对大批进攻的敌人，造成极大的杀伤力，使敌人在精神受到很大震撼。所以，敌人对这两个阵地恨之入骨，经常进行炮击。有时还利用导弹攻击这个阵地，相互炮击比较频繁。 在战斗间隙，战士们忙里偷闲，在猫耳洞里打牌、下棋。由于娱乐生活贫乏，娱乐用具购买困难，一副扑克玩几个月，烂了就用旧报纸在后面粘一层，时间一长扑克的厚度就越来越厚，有的达到四五副扑克的厚度，手里拿着很困难，也舍不得扔掉，它可是为数不多的娱乐工具。还有的战士在地上画个方格，玩起了四子棋。 当听到射击的命令后，他们把扑克往地下一放，跑出去就打，打完后回来继续玩，好像不是在战场上一样。长期的战争生活，战士也学会了劳逸结合，掌握了用什么方法，打发这漫长乏味的艰苦生活。 前线传来不幸的消息，三炮连配属八连作战的三班战士王宝根、谢光辉同志，在168高地抢救伤员时受伤，加上以前受伤的人员，班里战斗减员严重，为了能继续完成战斗任务，邹军向营部请示，让八连补充两名战士，协助作战。 根据下阶段作战任务的变化，邹军决定召开干部、班长会议，研究部署今后的工作任务。他说：“我今天讲四个问题。一是要加强人员管理，不经批准，任何人不许到其它阵地乱串，到船头以外地区，必须有我亲自批准。二是严格战场纪律，必须服从命令听指挥，做到令行禁止。三是加强物资管理，对阵地上的作战物资进行登记造册，防止物资丢失，交好班，换好防。四是正确对待荣誉。总之，我们要在有限的时间内，充分发挥干部、骨干的作用，把工作做好，减少不必要的人员伤亡，争取把大家安安全全地带回去。” 会议刚结束，邹军接到电话，配属七连作战的六班战士徐新立同志，在去148高地背水途中，被越军的狙击步枪打伤。他迅速派卫生员去营救护所看望伤情，当得知伤情不重时，才松了一口气。 4月28日，是攻占老山一周年的日子。老山位于云南省麻栗坡县中越边界线上的骑线点上，是中国南大门的一道天然屏障，1979年中越战争后，越南占领了它。经常利用这个制高点，向中国境内开枪开炮，直接威胁边疆人民的人身安全和生产秩序。为了捍卫中华民族的尊严，1984年4月28日，第××军××师奉命攻打老山，经过三天的激烈战斗，于五月一日攻占了被越军侵占几年的中国领土。从此，改变了云南边界的防御态势，变被动为主动，它和者阴山、扣林山联为一体，成为南疆一道坚不可摧的天然屏障。 10时40分，越军向三炮连后方500米处的新新寨炮击，炮弹不断的在村庄爆炸，留守村里看家的老乡，迅速钻进村边山腰挖的防空洞里。几个不懂事的小孩吓的直哭，紧紧地揪住妈妈的衣服，年轻的母亲则将乳头塞近孩子的嘴里，哭声马上停止。他们几十个人挤在山洞里，盼望着战争早日结束，能过上安静的日子。 15时30分，边防某团九辆汽车，向130阵地开进途中被越军发现，一个85加农炮连跟踪射击，汽车被堵在里头寨村中，敌人发疯似的轰炸，村庄里房屋又被炸塌了几座，有的还燃起大火，噼哩啪了地烧了起来。其中三辆汽车完全暴露了，迅速向三炮连阵地下方冲去，敌人的炮弹也跟着打来，最后汽车在山脚下停下，邹军立即招呼司机躲进猫耳洞里防炮。 今天是“五·一”国际劳动节。 上午，下起毛毛细雨，淅淅沥沥的雨，打在竹叶上，发出“沙沙”的响声，像为战斗的将士演奏的一首赞歌；细细的雨水又像远方的父母，怀念前线的儿女，暗暗流下的眼泪，想洗掉了儿女身上的征尘，洗净了烈士脸上的血迹；滋润着洒满鲜血的国土。 此时此刻，战友们多么想念家乡，想念操劳一生的父母，想念温柔体贴的妻子和天真活泼的儿子。他们盼望着早日结束战斗，返回家乡与亲人团聚。 可是，目前仍有部分群众，对参战人员的行为不理解。有的未婚妻向部队寄来吹灯信；有的妻子以种种借口，打掉了怀孕几个月的胎儿；有的地方政府，对参战人员家庭出现的天灾人祸和困难不管不问。这种现象严重地影响了战士们的情绪，他们说：“我们打仗是为了谁？目前各地正流行承包制，为什么战场没有人来承包。”战士们需要的是理解和支持，哪怕是一声问候，他们就会感到安慰和兴奋，就会产生无穷力量。于是，邹军利用难得的空闲时间，分别给三名战士家庭和地方政府写信，希望他们给与支持。 为了让大家体会节日的气氛，中午，邹军通知炊事班加了几个菜，每个班加发了几个平时舍不得吃的罐头，一人一瓶巧克力香槟酒。他又顺便到每个班，转了一下，和大家碰了一杯酒，调动大家的情绪。 下午，配属在九连炊事班的三炮连炊事员李石头同志，路过连队，找到邹军汇报思想。目前，他和另外二人，担任向坚守在的166阵地上的40多名人员的送饭任务。 李石头同志的家庭多次发生不幸。去年10月，正当临战训练处于紧张时期，他的父亲病故，欠账1700多元，家庭生活十分困难。邹军曾代表党支部，向他家所在的县、乡分别去信，请求按照中央84年64号文件精神，对坚守在老山、者阴山的指战员，在政策允许的情况下，给予适当的照顾。可是，他们无动于衷，不但没有给与照顾，而且去家里看一下，都没有做到。上个月，灾难再一次降到这个战士家里，他母亲从楼上摔下，小腿骨折。这一连串的不幸，怎不令人心酸。连队破例救济他50元钱，邹军又以团政治处的名义，向该县民政局去信，请求给予适当的照顾，又如石沉大海。某些地方政府的官僚作风，真叫人痛心，他们对参战人员家中的困难，视而不见，真是地地道道的官僚作风。 邹军经过做李石头的思想工作，消除了他悲观、厌战的不满情绪。为了让坚守在前线的战士吃上饭，他每天半夜起床做饭。然后，身背几十斤重的饭菜，冒着生命危险，穿梭在枪林弹雨中。爬几公里的山路，最后把饭菜送到距敌几十米的战士手中，无论刮风下雨，一百多天如一日。 而我们可爱的战士在遭到种种不幸打击后，仍然不忘自己肩上的责任，民族的尊严，用自己的实际行动，捍卫祖国的领土完整。这就是战士的伟大胸怀，他们不计报酬，不计个人安危，在生与死，血与火的考验面前，表现出了大无畏的革命精神，是难能可贵的，是任何人无法比拟的。
