Chapter 22 Tamura challenge

At the beginning of 1979, Tamura's heroic dream lit up a ray of light.The troops on the southern front triggered a self-defense counterattack in southern Xinjiang. The troops suddenly became tense. The original normal training became a first-level war preparation. The combat troops of each regiment slept with their backpacks on their pillows. Some troops I was pulled to the prepared air defense fortifications, most of which were caves one after another. The Thirteenth Division is located in the northern border, far away from the war in the southern border, but the international and domestic environment it was in at that time, the northern border was not easier than the southern border.The cadres and soldiers of the division's police and police company are also fully armed, and the division command post has been moved underground, leaving an empty courtyard, and the gate post has also become a double guard.The guards were loaded with live ammunition and wore steel helmets, as if the enemy would come at any moment.The common people who live around the army have changed their way of looking at the army. They used to be careless.In their eyes, the army in peacetime is just shouting and running, no big deal.At this time, the shouts of killing in the army barracks were gone, and there was only solemnity, and this quiet solemnity gave people a murderous look.When people passed the barracks, their steps were light, and their eyes were full of holiness.This is the change that peace and war bring to people.

During that period of time, Tamura developed the habit of reading newspapers and listening to the radio.What he reads is the "Liberation Army Daily" and the newspapers of the military region, and what he listens to is the Central News Station.Newspapers and radios reported the state of war of the troops at the front.At that time, Tamura regretted a little, regretting why he did not serve as a soldier in the Southern Military Region.If he goes to the south to serve as a soldier, he will definitely participate in this southern border war. The battle in southern Xinjiang came and went quickly. In only a dozen days, the large army returned in triumph, leaving only a small group of troops to stick to Maoerdong to fight the enemy's war of attrition and protracted war.At this time, troops from the rear began to be transferred to the front line to fight in rounds.

Tian Cun thought that the war in southern Xinjiang would last for a while, but unexpectedly, it was a thunderstorm, and it was over as soon as it was said.The rain has passed, and the land is not yet soaked, and it does not quench my thirst.At that time, he was still thinking that if there was a fight in the south, there would be a fight in the north. If there was a fight in the north, it would definitely not be a small fight, but a big fight.In the face of this severe war, there will definitely be times when he will show his talents.Since he was a child, he has always envied his father's generation of soldiers. They grew up in the hail of bullets and spent every day in a vigorous way. That is the life of a soldier, and soldiers in peacetime are simply too boring.After the large-scale war in southern Xinjiang ended, one hero after another was born. Newspapers and radio stations are full of deeds and stories of heroes every day.Fortunately, the south has not completely calmed down, and the troops are still holding their positions in the continuous spring rain.At this time, Tamura is very eager for the heroes of the south.

The Thirteenth Division had no chance to participate in large-scale battles, and the first round of troops to go to the south still did not have the Thirteenth Division.The command posts and combat troops that had moved to the positions were withdrawn one after another, and the barracks almost returned to their former appearance.The ordinary people walking outside the courtyard stretched their necks to look into the army compound, and finally boldly said to the soldiers in the courtyard: Chief, do you not want to fight this battle? Tian Cun was really in a hurry. If the Thirteenth Division didn't go, he would go up himself, so he wrote a letter of invitation. The content of the letter of invitation was to regard death as home, the tone was tragic, and the emotion was sincere.He handed the letter of invitation to the company commander and the instructor. The instructor read the letter of invitation and said, "Okay, not bad, it's great that you have such a positive attitude!"

After speaking, the instructor put his letter of invitation into the paper bag on the desk. After he came back from the company headquarters, he waited for three days without any movement.On the fourth day, he wrote another letter of challenge with more urgent wording, and handed it to the company commander and instructor. This time, the company commander and the instructor seemed to be patient with him, and the instructor even poured him a glass of water: Xiao Tian, ​​don't worry.We understand your feelings. In fact, our feelings are the same as yours, but we are soldiers, and we must follow orders in all actions.The troops participating in the war have the mission of the troops participating in the war. We stick to it here, and this is also our mission.

Tamura once again walked out of the company's office dejectedly.The more he thought about it, the more he felt bad. The battle in southern Xinjiang became more and more flat. If he waited like this, the day lily might be cold.After thinking about it, he wanted to write a blood letter, and he wanted to send this blood letter directly to the division commander. He didn't care if the 13th division participated in the war, but he wanted to join the war anyway.According to his understanding at the time, as a soldier, it is not a good thing to want to fight?At that moment, Tamura bit his middle finger, and the moment the blood flowed out was very painful, but Tamura didn't even frown.After writing the blood letter, he came to the division building. This was the first time he entered the division office building, and he easily found Mr. Liu's office.Mr. Liu looks like he is in his fifties and wears glasses. In Tamura's eyes, Mr. Liu is not like a teacher at all, but like a teacher who teaches.At the gate of the division commander, Tian Cun shouted magnificently: "Report--

The teacher raised his head and looked at Tamura standing at the door in surprise.At this moment, Tian Cun rushed forward with enthusiasm, he couldn't care more, went straight in, handed the blood book to the teacher, and waited there without saying a word. Master Liu read the bloody book at a glance, raised his head and said, "Are you Tian Cun?" Tian Cun straightened his back and said: I am Tian Cun, a soldier from the third squad of the Police Communication Company. Master Liu adjusted his glasses and said: Oh, I see, aren't you a child of Deputy Army Commander Tian's family?Your dad and I are old comrades in arms, come on, sit down quickly.

Tamura didn't want to chat with the teacher about the family, so he still stood there upright and said seriously: Teacher, I want to go to the front line. Master Liu just laughed, and said while laughing: OK, this is like your father. When your father heard about the war back then, his forehead was full of joy. Tamura didn't smile, he was waiting for the teacher's reply. Master Liu took off the mirror and put it on the table: "Okay, as long as you have the enthusiasm to join the war."It was written in blood, quite resolute.Our division party committee has considered your request, so you should go back first.

From the teacher's tone, Tamura seemed to see hope, and he felt that it was time for him to make some preparations for the war.Back in the dormitory, looking at my luggage and the washbasin under the bed, I felt that there was nothing to prepare.After thinking about it, he decided to leave a letter to his parents. After Tiancun came out of the division commander's office, Mr. Liu called Chief Wei from the Propaganda Department. The division commander handed Tamura's blood book to Chief Wei and said, "I think this matter should be publicized. It's all written in blood. One by one." It's not easy being a child of a senior leader, you can get angry, but don't let it go.

Chief Wei took the blood book and said: Teacher, I understand, I will arrange people to publicize it. The Propaganda Section arranged for an officer, as well as Liu Dong, to interview Tamura at the company office.The secretary and Liu Dong both held notebooks, looking serious and serious.The secretary said to Liu Dong: "Tamura is your comrade-in-arms, and you are in the same class. This article is mainly written by you, and I will check it out." Liu Dong asked Tamura: Tamura, why did you think of writing a blood letter to ask for a fight? Tamura seemed not to cooperate with the interview. He leaned on the chair and said: I want to go to war, and I don't want to grind my teeth here with you.Whether it is written in blood or not, it is my determination to join the war.

The officer asked from a different angle: Then talk about your motivation for joining the war. Tian Cun glared at the officer and said: Officer Liu, aren't you a soldier?What other motives do soldiers have for going to war?Soldiers don't fight and don't serve the motherland, so what's the point? Officer Liu was choked by Tian Cun's words, wanted to get angry but couldn't say anything, so he lowered his head and scribbled a few strokes in his notebook. Liu Dong hurriedly said: Officer Liu, I am in the same class as Tamura, and I know him well. Please read it after I finish writing the article. Officer Liu closed the cap of his pen, stood up and said, "Then let's talk." Walking to the door, he turned his head and stared at Tamura again, muttering in his mouth: I have never seen such a soldier. Liu Dong also put on his pen cap and said, "Tamura, there's no need to interview, I know how to write this article." Tian Cun looked at Liu Dong and said, "You people are always thinking about making up stories. No matter how good the story is, can you make up the enemy?"What the soldiers want is bloodshed, and I have nothing to say to you people.I don't want to be a typical example of a war, I just want to join the war, do you understand? After finishing speaking, he stood up and patted his buttocks and left. Liu Dong looked at the back of Tian Cun, puzzled. Tian Cun's enthusiasm for the battle was poured cold water, but he has made up his mind to go, he thinks this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, either a hero or a bear.Tian Cun wants to become a hero. After he gave the blood book to the division commander, he fantasized that the division commander would approve his invitation to fight and send him to the battlefield solemnly. Unexpectedly, the division commander did not support him and wanted to set him up as a model for the battle. He doesn't want to be such a model, he wants to join the war.Excellent soldiers can only gain eternal life in the flames of war. Tian Cun didn't want to hesitate anymore, the war in southern Xinjiang was coming to an end, and he wanted to catch up with the feast of the soldiers, so he decided to secretly go to southern Xinjiang to join the war.He left at midnight. He was the midnight post. At that time, the division's two-person post became a single-person post. This was his best chance to leave the Thirteenth Division.The gun was in his hand, and there were five yellow bullets in that semi-automatic rifle.He wore an armed belt around his waist and a steel helmet on his head, completely in a wartime attire.Not long after receiving the post, in the dead of night, he left the Thirteenth Division and ran to the train station, where he was going to board the train bound for the south. The disappearance of Tian Cun was first discovered by Liu Dong, who took over from his post.When Liu Dong walked to the sentry post, he found that there was no one there. He thought that Tian Cun had gone to the bathroom, so he stood there waiting, but he still didn't see the shadow of Tian Cun.He went to the toilet but couldn't find it. He stood on the sentry post and shouted a few more times, but he still didn't see Tamura.Reminiscent of Tian Cun's reaction during the day, Liu Dong felt that something was wrong, so he called the company commander from the post. Soon, the company commander and instructors all came, and they searched around but couldn't find Tamura, so the situation became very serious.The company commander immediately issued an order for emergency assembly. During the emergency assembly, the soldiers in the same dormitory in Tamura found the letter that Tamura left for his parents. The content of the letter revealed the whereabouts of Tamura. So, after the company commander reported the disappearance of Tian Cun to the division duty room, he drove to the train station.Their judgment is correct, Tamura will definitely take the train.When I asked the conductor, the conductor said that there was indeed a soldier who wanted to buy a ticket to the south, but there was no car at night, so the soldier left.The company commander decided to chase along the railway, and finally saw Tian Cun when the sun was rising. Tian Cun walked on the sleeper between the two railroad tracks with a gun in his shoulders. The stabs of the gun flashed in the sun. He was striding forward with a firm goal, and he was sweating profusely towards the holy land in the south. The military vehicle easily overtook Tian Cun. When the company commander and instructor got off the vehicle, Tian Cun saw it. His body softened, his eyes darkened, and he sat on the railway sleeper.He complained to the company commander and instructor who walked towards him: I wonder why it is so difficult to join the battle. After Tian Cun was escorted back to the division, he was put in confinement.Before being locked in the confinement room, the company commander and the instructor had a talk with Tamura. The instructor said: Your enthusiasm for participating in the war is good, but if you leave your post without permission, it is tantamount to a deserter.You have to fully recognize your mistakes. Tamura lowered his head and said: I want to join the war, what's wrong?I am not afraid of death, I want to be a hero. The company commander walked up and down in front of Tamura with his hands behind his back, his appearance was very angry, and his tone of voice was also very fierce.He pointed to Tamura's head and said: You haven't realized your mistake until now. This is going to be a wartime. You are running away from battle and going to court-martial. Do you understand? Tamura scratched his neck and shouted: I am not a deserter, I want to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy and make meritorious service. The instructor said: We have affirmed your enthusiasm for serving the country, but you can't be so unorganized and undisciplined! The army has an overall deployment. If everyone is like you, is it still an army? Tamura stopped talking, his neck still stiff. The instructor discussed with the company commander, and in view of Tamura's current attitude, he could only go to the confinement room to calm down. What happened to Tian Cun caused a sensation in the 13th Division. During the period when Tian Cun disappeared, the division duty room reported the news to the military duty room, and the military duty room reported the news to Deputy Commander Tian. Deputy Army Commander Tian was furious, and he shouted to the officer on duty: Send me a car, I'm going to the 13th Division. The off-road jeep rushed to the 13th Division at high speed.When Tian Liaochen marched angrily to the 13th Division, Yang Peipei didn't know that such a big incident happened to Tiancun, she hummed a song in a good mood as usual, and went to work in the outpatient department of the military agency. Liu Dong brought lunch to Tian Cun, and Tian Cun turned his head away and looked indifferent, neither looking at Liu Dong nor the food in the bowl.Liu Dong persuaded in a low voice: "The company commander asked me to bring you food, so you can eat something." Tamura said angrily: I don't eat, I'm full of gas. Liu Dong persuaded with sincerity: You have to admit your mistakes, if you don't admit your mistakes, you won't be able to get out of the confinement room. I'm not wrong, is it wrong for me to ask to join the war?You don't come to do work for me.you go! Liu Dong stood there, not knowing whether to advance or retreat. At this time, Tian Cun yelled at Liu Dong again: It's not your turn to teach me a lesson, so go away! Hearing that Tian Cun slammed him away again, Liu Dong had no choice but to leave. Tian Liaoshen appeared in the confinement room, which surprised Tian Cun. He got up from the bed in a panic, and stood in front of his father with a complicated expression. Tian Liaoshen shouted: "Tian Cun, you are a deserter!" Tamura became tough all of a sudden, he didn't admit that he was a deserter, he just wanted to join the war, why did he become a deserter?He shouted loudly: I am not a deserter! I want to be a martyr on the battlefield! Faced with Tian Cun's attitude of a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water, Tian Liaochen couldn't bear it anymore, and finally waved his hand. Just as his hand was about to fall, the instructor who followed him shouted: Chief—— This sound made Tian Liao wake up, and his raised hand did not come down.The Tamura in front of him was not his son, but one of his soldiers. On this occasion, he could not beat his soldiers.Tian Liaochen was too angry to speak. He pointed to Tian Cun's nose and said: I heard that you are still on a hunger strike. Who are you showing this to?You don’t admit your mistakes and go on a hunger strike.Okay, if you want to go on a hunger strike, you can go on a hunger strike. If there are consequences, the leaders of your Thirteenth Division will not be responsible. All the consequences will be borne by me. After speaking, he left without looking back. His father's aura stunned Tian Cun, and he stared at his father's back in a daze. The instructor whispered on the side: "The army knows about your affairs, so I'll make the chief angry." The letter from Tian Cun was handed over to Tian Liaoshen by the company commander and instructor, and it was left by Tian Cun to his parents.It's more like a suicide note than a letter-- Mom and Dad: When you read this letter, I have already left the Thirteenth Division.I am not a deserter from the Thirteenth Division. I want to join the war. A soldier can only show his value on the battlefield.Dad, don't you often tell me that good men die on the battlefield?From the day I joined the army, I wanted to be a good man and a good soldier. I was waiting for the war to serve my motherland, and now I finally have this opportunity.If I die in battle, Mom and Dad, don't feel sorry for me. Your son fought for his country and you should be proud of me.Goodbye, Mom and Dad... When Tian Liao read the letter that Tian Cun left for him, he couldn't control his emotions anymore. There were tears in his eyes and his hands were shaking.He slowly folded the letter and put it in his arms.When he left the Thirteenth Division, he said to Commander Liu, "Tamura is a soldier of your Thirteenth Division. Please deal with him according to the army regulations. Don't consider him my son." After speaking, he returned to the army by car overnight. Yang Peipei read Tamura's letter the next day. Before that, she already knew the ins and outs of the matter.When she finished reading the letter, she also sighed and murmured: Our son has grown up. Tian Liaochen also bit his cheekbone and said: Tian Cun is really like when I was young.Hey, this guy is really my son. Yang Peipei said with a choked voice: He was originally your son. Tian Liao put his hands behind his back and looked out the window: There is nothing wrong with letting Tian Cun serve as a soldier. He is a good piece of steel, but he still needs to be tempered. At that time, Tamura was severely warned by the administration, and he paid the price for his heroic dream.
