Chapter 162 The nameless highland has a name (15)

Battalion Commander He went to see "Lonely Lady" in his busy schedule.He was very concerned about her safety.He knew that after the start, the enemy would intensify their cannons and bombardments; her small hole might be bombarded.He also knows that she is a "lonely old lady". When we attack, she may stand under the old pine tree and watch the battle; he knows how brave she is like other Korean women!He must go to see her, and advise her to be more careful and not to be careless under the principle of not leaking military information.At the same time, he would also like to see if she was short of food and other daily needs.Once it starts, it will be difficult for everyone to take care of her.

The battalion commander can easily send someone to do this, without having to go there himself.However, he didn't want to do that.He's not just going to do that.There was a rather complicated longing in his heart that drove him to see her. He loves his motherland and loves North Korea.These two loves have been so closely combined that when he thinks of North Korea, he thinks of his motherland; when he thinks of his motherland, he also thinks of North Korea.These two loves strengthen his sense of duty.If he does not do any good, he feels that he is sorry for the people of both countries.For the sake of the people of the two countries, he asked himself not only to do everything well, but also to do it very well.Now, he is about to attack the "Old Bald Mountain"; he must not only be worthy of the party and the chief, but also the "lonely aunt"-she is not eager for us to attack and destroy the enemy. Do you want us to fire a cannon?Yes, he must go see her; get encouragement from her face and words, make him more determined, braver, and fight a battle of annihilation!Besides, she is a Korean woman. The words "North Korean women" are noble and glorious in the mind of Battalion Commander He, just as in the hearts of every volunteer.During the war against the U.S. imperialist aggression, Korean women undertook all the work to support the front line. They plowed, harvested, built roads, weaved, directed traffic, monitored enemy planes, rescued the wounded, educated children, and The mines, factories, and even the army not only operate like men, but how many heroes and role models have emerged!Even when operating in the fields, they took the greatest risk.The enemy's artillery fire and bombing by enemy planes are intended to kill and injure peaceful residents.Shells and bombs rained down not only on the cities, but also on the villages and fields.Women who go out to farm are like soldiers who attack the enemy, they may not be able to return after going out.This did not intimidate the heroic sisters of North Korea.Unfortunately, some died, and other women just buried her with tears in their eyes, and then took up her work; they did not cry loudly.Their backs were always erect, and their fighting determination kept them from crying out.This has become their temperament, the temperament of a hero, the temperament of a heroic nation!Battalion Commander He decided to visit the "lonely lady" before the war, to pay tribute to her, and also to express his determination to avenge the sisters who lived with her and were killed by enemy planes, and to avenge all the Korean women who died.

Yes, when he thinks of "Lonely Lady", he also thinks of all the North Korean women he has met since entering the dynasty.Even if they lost their husbands and brothers, even if they lost their house and utensils, they still did not bow their heads, they still wore the only brightly colored jacket, and they still sang and danced whenever they had the opportunity.They are strong and proud, so they are optimistic.It doesn't matter what they lose, they just don't want to lose their motherland, and they firmly believe that they will never lose their motherland.They are willing to endure all sacrifices in defense of their motherland.They love the Korean People's Army and the Chinese Volunteers. These two troops fought side by side to defend the territory of the motherland for them.Battalion Commander He remembered how many times when he was on a march or on a business trip, even in the middle of a snowy night, as long as he met a North Korean woman, he would get all the convenience.They would make room for him.They would help him cook and bring him hot water.They regard him and every volunteer as their brothers and nephews.He also remembered: how he helped them plow in the spring, how he helped them repair roads or embankments.Everyone works in one place and rests in one place, forgetting the differences in nationality, language, and customs.Everyone has only one heart, which is to repel the violent enemy.The mutual help and mutual gratitude are so natural, sincere, and pure, making "Volunteer Army" and "North Korean Women" holy titles; from now to forever, they will shine brightly.Thinking of this, Battalion Commander He couldn't stop wanting to see "Lonely Lady", no matter how busy he was.He is not going to meet an old lady, but to condolences to all North Korean women and pay tribute to them!

It was dusk when Battalion Commander He and a correspondent came near the old pine tree.It was still quite cold.The old lady stood outside the cave, facing the "Old Bald Mountain".The mountain was already dark, and the branches of the old pine were also black. The lady in white stood there, much like a jade statue. She is just an ordinary farmer, not tall.However, just like the statues of works of art, although they are not tall, they have an inviolable dignity, which is admirable.Her manners and actions are all peasants, but with the spirit of resolutely resisting oppression, she is simple and lovely, but also has a very extraordinary bearing.

Seeing Battalion Commander He, she took a few steps forward to meet him.Her eyes, which can be soft and severe, are completely soft now-she sees the volunteers she loves.Her black eyes were still very dark and bright, and in the darkest place seemed to hide the most innocent smile, and at the same time hide some of the most resolute spirit of resistance.There are already some wrinkles on her face, but there is some pride that is not afraid of all sufferings between her brows. Battalion Commander He grabbed Gao Po in a few steps, came in front of her, and saluted her.He loves the old lady.She resembled his mother in stature and peasant manner.However, she is not exactly like his mother, she has the bearing and qualities unique to North Korean women.He recognized her as his North Korean mother.

Battalion Commander He can speak a few words of Korean, and the correspondent can speak a little more than him.The old lady can only speak a few Chinese words.Language is not a big barrier when everyone has one heart. The battalion commander first asked her what she needed.The old lady shook her head, indicating that she didn't lack anything.She smiled again, and then pointed to "Old Bald Mountain".The battalion commander thought for a while before he realized: Da Niang doesn't need anything, although her needs in life are extremely simple; what she needs is to attack "Lao Bald Mountain"!Because, he thought, she urgently needed to attack "Old Bald Mountain", so she didn't ask for an extra bucket of grain, or a few feet of cloth.

The battalion commander nodded.He understands her psychology.The people in the whole small village, even the chickens and dogs, have been killed by the violent enemy, so why does she need more things?She is over sixty years old, and she is eagerly looking forward to witnessing the fact that she has avenged the whole village when she still has breath! Seeing the battalion commander nodding, the old lady smiled again, and then looked at her feet.She was wearing a pair of wide and big rubber boots, which were given to her by a volunteer army.These big boots look ridiculous, but they don't take much special meaning on her feet.It was during the war and she had no choice but to wear what she could get.The volunteer soldier had no choice but to give her this little gift.She laughed at her boots sometimes, but when she was done she looked at them seriously.When there is no choice for things, people's desires exceed their material requirements.No matter what you wear or eat, the most important thing is how to fulfill your responsibilities and repel the enemy!

Battalion Commander He, with the help of a correspondent, explained his purpose of coming, and taught the old lady to be careful, the enemy might bomb again.He didn't say why the enemy could be so mad again. The old lady was very grateful for his concern, and didn't ask why the enemy went crazy again.She smiled innocently, as if to say: I already knew that the enemy would go crazy at any time! Battalion Commander He gave another order before bidding farewell to the old lady.He was a little bit reluctant to leave her, and was really willing to put her in the safest and most comfortable place.But where is the safest and most comfortable place?As he slowly walked down the hill, he couldn't help saying to the correspondent: "Only by destroying the enemy can we find a safe and comfortable place! After destroying the enemy, everyone will be safe!"

The correspondent didn't understand what the battalion commander meant, but he didn't ask any questions.He turned back involuntarily, and saw the old lady waving to them.It was very dark, but the uplifted arm could still be seen quite clearly because of the white sleeve.He told the battalion commander.The two stopped together, turned their heads, and waved to her. After walking a considerable distance, the two looked back, and the old lady in white was still standing under the old pine.The correspondent couldn't help asking: "Battalion Commander, what is the old lady thinking?" The battalion commander couldn't reply for a long time.After entering the trench, the battalion commander suddenly replied with anger: "She is just like what we thought, she will fight the 'Lao Bald Mountain' and destroy the enemy!" "Yes! Battalion commander!" said the correspondent.

Really, what a beautiful and quiet place this must have been in peacetime!Spring is almost here.After the Japanese rulers were driven out and the Korean people established their own government, before the American imperialists launched their war of aggression, how beautiful the spring here would be!When the spring breeze blows and the spring moon melts at night, the pines and cypresses on the spring mountains sound melodious and light waves, gently blowing the fragrance of wild flowers to every mountain village. What can be more beautiful than this? People who love to work and laugh, when the spring plowing is about to start, they are still laughing and operating in the moonlight, choosing seeds for those who choose them, and those who send fertilizers to send fertilizers.Elderly women are weaving fine white cloth with wooden machines in the house, preparing to make some spring clothes.The young girls gave up their winter clothes and put on gorgeous spring clothes no matter how strong the mountain wind was.They sang, they danced lightly, and their sweet laughter touched the mountains and was sent back.The old man who drank two cups of ginseng wine, and the old lady who wanted to take a break also came to join the girls' singing and dancing, and their laughter became louder.How beautiful it is!

Why don't they sing or dance, since they are so happy in their hearts!The old people can testify how they were slaughtered and oppressed by the Japanese rulers, and how they stubbornly resisted!Today, the people themselves have political power and freedom, so don't they work hard and laugh heartily?The Japanese rulers deliberately tried to eliminate Korean culture, but the Korean people preserved their own language, customs, and folk songs and dances.So why not sing or dance? Isn't spring a good time for men and women to marry?There are happy events in the east and west villages, and there are more opportunities for singing and dancing.How much the old people like it, they will be able to have grandchildren in the next spring!Their grandchildren will be born free people, enjoying the happiness that this beautiful country can give with honest labor!Their children no longer use the heavy farm tools and ox carts, and will soon use new farm tools and tractors, not to mention their grandchildren?Who knows how happy those red-faced and black-haired dolls will be, it's hard to imagine how thoughtful they are! Spring is coming again, but...the American invaders are more vicious and hateful than the Japanese rulers!The US emperor even blew up all the pines and cypresses on the mountain! "Lonely aunt", just as the correspondent asked, what are you thinking about?I'm afraid she is thinking of these extremely sweet and extremely bitter things, right?It was precisely because she thought of these things that she was eager to attack the "Old Bald Mountain" in front of her, right? Battalion Commander He walked silently in the trench.With the Korean knowledge he has accumulated, he will also think of these, so he can better understand the psychology and wishes of the old lady. "Okay! Definitely, definitely lay down the 'Old Bald Mountain'!" He said to himself.
