Chapter 150 The nameless highland has a name (3)

He Zhongyun, the commander of the Hero Battalion, is only a little taller than a normal average person.From the looks of it, he wasn't particularly strong, but he wasn't thin either. His whole body was well-proportioned, soft and hard.His movement is a perfect example of the unity of his body and mind, sometimes fast, sometimes very slow, alertness and agility hidden in the steady.He can squat in the corner like a farmer, with his cheeks in his hands, chatting with the old man or the baby in a low voice and affectionately.He was originally from a farming family.If something unexpected happens at this time, such as being surrounded by two enemies, he can quickly draw out his gun, cover the old man or the baby, and finish the enemy.

A face that is neither fat nor thin and not very long, with well-proportioned and regular features.He loves to laugh and blushes.He smiles very nicely, because he always smiles so sincerely.He doesn't often blush because he is angry, most of the time it is because he is anxious, worried about others or about his own lagging behind.When his face was flushed, he did not bow his head; his face flushed frankly. "No, no education, no way!" His face turned red.Immediately afterwards, he said: "I have no culture!" He didn't just say that, he really made up his mind to learn culture well.His blushing was partly a confession of his shortcomings, and partly an expression of excitement about his determination to improve.He couldn't take out his heart to show others, he could only blush.His hair is very black, so black that it shines.When he blushes, with this black shiny hair, he looks very good-looking and innocent.

Two years ago, he only knew his own name, and it took a lot of effort to sign it. "The pen is much more difficult to play than the submachine gun! It's too much!" He sometimes speaks quite humorously.Now, he already knows more than a thousand characters and can write them.In the tunnel, holding a small vegetable oil lamp, he "fights bayonet" with the square guys every day!Because the air in the tunnel is bad, humid, and there is no sunlight, his face has lost any color. However, whenever he attacked the square characters, his face turned red again. However, he has many things to do, so he cannot study culture at ease.Good guy, sitting in front of the "Old Bald Mountain" to study culture is no joke!But he persevered. The bomb fell on the top of his hole and extinguished the small oil lamp. Then he lit the lamp again and continued to study.

"Where the battle is fought, there is where to learn!" This is what he heard from a company instructor after he joined the army, and he will never forget it.This is the knack of his ability to improve and develop at any time. That's how he learned his skills.He knows how to shoot a gun first, and then he learns to carry a gun, raise a gun and other regular movements.When he was first assigned as the squad leader, he refused to do it: "I don't know how to do exercises, and I don't know how to give passwords!" But, slowly, he also learned it. The same is true for the construction of firearms.At first he thought a gun was a gun and a grenade was a grenade; if the gun didn't go off and the grenade was dumb, it deserved it.Going back and forth, he understood their structure, and some of the applied physics.Thus, he felt the joy of mastering a weapon, and he really became the master of the gun. "I'll hold you, you can't be obedient! I know exactly what's going on with you!"

In the same way, he knew how to conduct first, and then it took a long time to understand the term "conduct" and its meaning.He has a genius for command.When he was squad leader and platoon leader, he fought extremely fiercely in every battle.However, his eyes can detect the situation at any time, arrange it in time, and don't teach his own people to suffer.If he should rush, he would rush, if he should encircle, he would encircle; he could fight desperately, but he also used tactics. "I can tell at a glance that something is wrong, so..." That's all he would report back then.

It wasn't until he became a company commander that he realized that command is an art of combat, not just something that happens by chance.What he used to say "it's obvious at a glance..." turned out to be predictable in advance.It is true that the quick-sightedness of the mind can temporarily "see at a glance..." But what if you don't see it?Before, he thought that victory equals bravery plus bravery; later, he realized that victory equals bravery plus tactics.He is getting more and more stable. When he came to North Korea and came into contact with the most brutal imperialist army, he became even more thoughtful.He saw enemy soldiers coming across the ocean, encountered weapons he had never seen before, and a new set of tactics and formations.Yes, he, like the soldiers, looked down on enemy soldiers, especially American soldiers.However, he is not exactly like the fighters, that is, he often thinks and thinks about the enemy's style of play-not all of them are good, but they are indeed self-contained.Fighting against such an enemy, he thought, required both extra bravery and caution.Speaking of a soldier, he has become more mature and understands the truth that knowing oneself and the enemy is the only way to win every battle.His previous combat experience could no longer satisfy himself.

One day, 18-year-old Gao Jiabao, a small bugleman in the third company, fished two wheat codfish over an inch long from a small ditch and gave them to the battalion commander.The battalion commander put the small fish in the prettiest little bowl they could find in the tunnel, and watched them swim with the little bugler, just like two schoolchildren watching goldfish in the park.Both of them had happy smiles on their faces. "How beautiful the little fish is, how beautiful!" The battalion commander nodded in admiration. "In this mountain, apart from soldiers and soldiers, you can't even see a person in plain clothes!"

"I can't even see a little rabbit!" added the little bugler. "Although this is the case, we will learn wherever the battle is fought!" Yes, Battalion Commander He did not close his eyes in this place where he could not even see a bunny.He noticed that the enemy's equipment and tactics were different from ours, so he could try to deal with them.Even in the tunnel, he refused to numb his sense of new things, so he can improve. What is more important is the progress of his political thought.Without this, just mastering some military knowledge and the courage to fear nothing will not make you a hero.

At the beginning, he only knew that people should not be cows and horses.But he has to serve the rich man's cattle and horses, and he is lower than the cattle and horses.He decided to resist.After escaping from home, he went to see if there was a place where people were not as good as cattle and horses.No!He went to the mine to dig coal, went to the mountains to cut trees, and drove a cart, all of which were exploited and oppressed.Everywhere he met man-eating tigers and wolves.He also met the Japanese who occupied the Northeast—he was simply not allowed to live, even if he wanted to be a cow or a horse!

Had to rebel.To keep himself alive, he has to fight a bloody road and clean up the landlords, mine owners, car owners, corrupt officials, local ruffians and bullies, and even the Japanese robbers!He first grabbed four guns, and then joined the guerrillas.He doesn't know what revolution is. He just needs to pick up his gun and become a soldier so that he can take revenge. However, this guerrilla army is not just about fighting, but also about revolution and patriotism.His heart lights up.His career is not to kill and slash indiscriminately, but to revolutionize in an orderly manner.Not only must he avenge himself, he must also avenge all the suffering people; not only to avenge, but also to turn the common people over and take power, so that there will never be man-eating tigers and wolves on the ground.He can see far away. From a village or a mountain, he seems to be able to see the whole of China.He gained strength in his heart and saw clearly that what he had done was a great and glorious thing.

In wars, he always walks ahead, striving for glory; he has done meritorious service and will do more meritorious service, and glory will be more honorable.He joined the Communist Party.A strong man becomes steel when he joins the Communist Party. He heard a chief executive say this, and he remembered it.Whenever he encounters difficulties and pains, he encourages himself: "This is to add firepower to iron, so that it will quickly become steel!" Since he is a party member, he cannot focus on himself. He feels that the greatest joy of being a party member is to help others.Who said being in the army would be lonely?New comrades come at any time and need his help.He helped them become fighters, fighters led by the Communist Party.At first, he couldn't write; later, he could write but couldn't write fast.However, whenever he went to listen to a report, military or political, he always listened attentively so that he could convey it to the soldiers completely, although there were no notes.Sometimes he invites a fellow listener to listen to his speech to see if there are any omissions and mistakes.Some soldiers are more stupid in practice, and some are very slow in literacy.All this made him anxious, and he tried every means to help himself and others.However, even such a slow-witted comrade can quickly comprehend revolutionary ideas.Most of them are from rural areas, who have suffered oppression and suffering just like him.The anger in their hearts ignited instantly.He loved them as much as his own brothers.He ran away from home since he was a child, but he seemed to have returned to the countryside in the army.The difference is that the plow and hoe are not used to grow the five grains, but to cultivate the seeds of the revolution, so that the revolution will develop and win. He refused to leave the army for a day.In the army, he was only really happy and satisfied when he was with the soldiers.He himself has become a hero from a fighter, and he is also willing to see rising fighters become heroes.He often "goes out" to see the soldiers.He didn't like to hear things that had nothing to do with army life. For example, if someone talked about the life of bees or what Shanghai was like, he would stand up slowly and "go out for a walk."He is not interested in bees and Shanghai, he has to solve the problem of the warrior Lao Wang or Lao Li first, even if it is a small problem. This is our hero.If he was walking down the street in his military uniform, no one would pay him special attention.People would praise him only when he asked for directions or bought something: what a kind comrade!But it is not easy to think that he is a hero as hard as steel.If he changed into plain clothes and went out, everyone would call him "hometown"; his flushed and smiling face was so cute that no one wanted to pass by without saying hello.However, no one will suddenly think that he is a hero.This is our hero, a very ordinary and very extraordinary person, a kindest and most tenacious person. Since the change of defense, he and the political instructor Lou Yulin carefully drew up a plan for the soldiers to learn military and culture, consulted their superiors, got approval, and then arranged it. The instructor's stature is about the same as that of the battalion commander, but it is wider at the bottom, and looks stronger and tougher than the battalion commander.With high cheekbones, large eyes, a head of bristly black hair, and a clear, bright voice, he appeared at first glance to be a man of little thought.However, there were several deep wrinkles on his forehead; when he was tired, these wrinkles deepened.His work compelled him to use his mind. His education level is quite high, and he has rich social experience and army experience, but he does not despise the battalion commander because of this.He always showed respect to Battalion Commander He.His respect for the battalion commander increased the battalion commander's prestige among the soldiers.As for the battalion commander, he happened to be a dissatisfied person, and he almost never played with his attitude.In this way, the relationship between the two of them is getting better and better, as if the left and right hands are so old and help each other. Both of them are from Shandong, which has little to do with their close unity.Because they have been in the army for many years, they have a common heart-to-heart view-to understand the bottom of the cadres and soldiers, they can command.This view made them coincidentally learn everything about every cadre and soldier in detail.Military tutorials and various regulations are rigid things, but people are alive.If you don't understand people thoroughly, no matter how good the conditions are, you may lose the battle.Battalion Commander He often "goes out for a walk", and instructor Lou does the same.They know that sitting in the tunnel can't do anything. They were discussing carefully in the tunnel the ideological situation of the whole battalion since they were withdrawn to the second line.It was dark, but it was difficult to know the time in the tunnel without looking at the watch.Battalion Commander He likes to do this kind of research, and if he understands others, he can understand himself indirectly; he is the commander of this battalion, and other people's affairs are more or less related to himself.Needless to say, Instructor Lou also likes to do this job. It is his duty to grasp the ideological situation of the whole battalion and ensure the victory of the battle. The state of mind of troops is sometimes elusive.Only sincere and careful people like Battalion Commander He and Instructor Lou can discover hidden reefs in the water and predict wind and rain in time. After the withdrawal, the whole camp was very calm.The battalion commander and instructor immediately felt that something was wrong.Why is everyone so silent?When Battalion Commander He thought about it, he thought that it was because there was no big battle, and everyone was unhappy; wasn't he also a little unhappy?He thought: In two days, a new job will be arranged, and everyone will be happy again.When the cultural study and military study were arranged, everyone was still very calm-this could no longer be called calm, but indifference. Battalion Commander He learned from health worker Wang Junhua: Company Commander Li Zhitang of the third company personally said: "You don't need to be educated to fight a war!" This sentence immediately made many soldiers not very motivated to study. "Old Li has been hurting his brain since he taught poison gas," said the instructor, "he often speaks upside down! He is still a good company commander!" Yes, Li Zhitang, nicknamed "Huzi", is indeed a good company commander, and he is serious in his work. , He was brave in battle, but his brain is a bit out of control recently. "But you can't say something like that!" The battalion commander's usual smile disappeared, his eyes were fixed, and he didn't move for a long time. "Three years back, didn't we say the same thing?" The trainer smiled heartily. The battalion commander's face slowly relaxed, and there was a smile again. "That's right! It's hard to make progress!" "Some people make progress quickly, while others make slow progress; don't be embarrassed by the fast ones!" "Yes! Yes!" The battalion commander nodded repeatedly. "I'll ask him to talk about it? Maybe it's better for you?" "Go! Don't let him treat me as an intellectual... He will listen to your words!" "Let's agitate and agitate everyone together, and it's in full swing! Yes!" AA Learning culture and rest during the day; training troops at night, the mood of the whole battalion is high again.After detailed discussions, the cadres of each company were adjusted.The heroes who should go to the friendly army to report have already been sent away, and some new comrades have been sent to burn charcoal and some to repair tools.There are also some people who rectify and add tunnels.The whole camp really calmed down. However, news came: the third battalion was transferred to the front, and within a few days they won a battle—not big, but they fought beautifully, with kills, captures, and prisoners.We have no casualties. The news of the victory spread to the regiment, and the old squad leader repeatedly shouted "too bad" a few times.He didn't smoke at first, but now he borrowed a "big front door" to rattle.While smoking, he pondered: he has a share of the glory of victory, he has carried so many grenades on his back!Every drop of his sweat is fragrant and beautiful, as precious as pearls! "Enough-choke!" he yelled once, out of gleeful emotion. The news reached the first battalion, and everyone cheered for a while.However, after a while, everyone was silent again, and some people sighed repeatedly.The most restless was Li Zhitang, the commander of the third company.Without taking anyone with him, he ran to the battalion headquarters alone. The nickname "Hu Zi" is indeed enough to explain his image and character: he is not short in stature, has a tiger head and a tiger brain, and is just twenty-five years old. He is not afraid of anything. He not only has the shape of a tiger, but also has a tiger gall.Every time he led the team to attack, he always said this sentence: "If you don't complete the task, you won't come back!" Seeing the battalion commander, after saluting, he said, "It's over! You have to bow your head when you enter the tunnel, and you have to bow your head when you go outside!" "What's the matter?" The battalion commander smiled with surprise. "What mistake did you make?" "Except for talking too much, there is nothing wrong with it! Battalion Commander, the third battalion fought a beautiful battle!" There was only surprise on the battalion commander's face, without a smile: "Isn't it good to win the battle?" "The victories were fought by others, not us!" The company commander had such a strong sense of honor that he thought that all victories should be arranged by him alone. "The third battalion is also a volunteer army!" The battalion commander was a little angry.If a soldier said this to him, he would not be angry; but how could a company commander speak so casually? As soon as the battalion commander got angry, the company commander became even more anxious, and sweat broke out on his broad nose. "I see, they fought well as soon as they went up, and it must be their business to attack the 'Old Bald Mountain' in the future, let's visit!" This impressed the battalion commander.Although he has been quite cultivated and is no longer as reckless as the "Tiger" company commander, but if the glory of counterattack is taught to others, he will not feel comfortable.He thought for a while, and the words came very slowly: "Superior, the superior taught us to fight, let's fight; taught, taught us to guard, let's guard; taught us to visit, let's visit!" If it was appropriate, his mouth went smoothly, "Comrade company commander, if you refuse to analyze other people's victories and absorb experience, you are arrogant and self-satisfied. Self-sufficiency and self-satisfaction will definitely teach you to be narrow-minded and jealous! Fighting is not for your own reputation, but for the glory of the motherland !" "Report!" Someone shouted at the entrance of the cave.Tang Wanshan, a sergeant of the second company, came in joyfully, and saluted the battalion commander and company commander respectfully. "What's the matter, sergeant?" the battalion commander asked with a smile. "Report to the battalion commander, tomorrow Saturday, the cooking class will have a music evening at seven o'clock, and I want to borrow the auditorium." "I also invite the battalion commander to participate and guide." "What program?" The sergeant's face blossomed with a smile. "There is a big kitchen band I organized for them. The egg powder cone is the drum, the two water ladles are the cymbals, the beer bottle is the chime, the cooking pot is the big gong, and the vegetable spoon is the small gong. It sounds so good! Battalion Commander, go!" Before the battalion commander could speak, the company commander poured a basin of cold water on the sergeant: "What kind of beating, it softened the big guy!" Before the sergeant had time to explain how important culture and entertainment are, there was another voice outside the door: "Report!" The one who came in was Shen Kai, Sanlian's cultural teacher.He was like a warrior from head to chest, and he imitated a warrior even in his smallest movements.His wish was to go to the front line with the assault force—"What's the matter if you have participated in the meeting but not fought in the war?" He often babbled like this.His thoughts and feelings were almost the same as those of the soldiers. Not only in the whole camp, but also in the whole division, Sanlian is also famous.Battalion Commander He used to be the company commander of this company.Since he led this company, the "Third Sharp Knife Company" has been "famous and far-reaching".Now, the soldiers of the third company still maintain the honor of the past and always ask for assault.Soldiers are most afraid of the term "backward". The steamed buns in Sanlian’s cooking class are bigger than those in other companies! "Report to the battalion commander!" Shen Kaiwen said in a low voice, "Tomorrow Saturday, we will have an entertainment party at six o'clock in the evening..." Before the teacher finished speaking, the battalion commander stopped him: "The auditorium has been lent to Erlian!" In his heart, he attaches great importance to Sanlian.This is a company that he has cultivated by himself, and already has a glorious tradition.But this is by no means a preference.It is his responsibility to love this company and continue to be a role model for every company. He guessed that Teacher Shen Kai must have known that Erlian was going to have a meeting, so he had to hold his own meeting first to avoid "falling behind".He guessed right. "According to the order of the company, the second company will open tomorrow, and the third company will open the day after tomorrow. I will participate. Nothing else? Go!" After saluting, the sergeant and the teacher went out one after another.The teacher blushed. "Comrade company commander," said the battalion commander quite sternly, "do you see that? I, regiment and division chiefs, and I all attach importance to the third company. This is our responsibility. We cannot teach such a company to regress. You are a very good company commander. , but you are narrow-minded and conceited. Look, you have to rush ahead of others even in a small meeting. This is not because you are afraid of falling behind, but because you are top-notch and look down on others! If you continue to develop like this, you will no longer be a typical company, but The isolated company has damaged the unity of the whole battalion!" Li Lianchang was sweating on his head, and he listened with his back straightened. The battalion commander stretched out his hand and shook the sweaty hand affectionately. "Our army can be said to be the most disciplined army. You see, how the North Korean people love us, respect us, and support us. The DPRK and China really become a family. But we can't be complacent. Then, we will, we will, the more More and more slack, completely wipe out the discipline... Prepare well, improve everyone's culture and technology; fight more big battles, if we are prepared, we will be able to fight well. "Yes! Battalion Commander!" The company commander's tiger eyes widened and he saluted. "We should write a letter to the Third Battalion to congratulate the victory!" "Yes! Battalion Commander!"
