Chapter 46 46. ​​The wine of war, the war of wine

On April 28, 1984, among the various units that were attacking the main peak of Laoshan, one of them was a scout led by Deputy Battalion Commander Wu. Others' military jugs were full of water, but he filled a pot full of Laobaigan.After a certain point was captured, he raised his neck and drank two sips of wine, fighting and drinking all the way like this, the battle became more frequent and fierce, he became more aggressive in killing, and drank more and more happily, halfway through the attack, the wine in the pot was full Most of the miles.People call Lao Wu "drunk and beat the old mountain".

It's no wonder that the battle between wine and Laoshan is destined. A certain unit went to Yunnan to fight. This unit is a typical example of the whole army’s party consolidation. Before departure, it is a discipline not to drink alcohol. When it arrived in Kunming, the local party, government and military leaders hosted a banquet for it. Moutai wine was placed on the table. , although the guest repeatedly refused, the host repeatedly persuaded him to drink. In this case, without saying anything, a teacher drank more than a catty in one go. It is not known when the tradition of drinking wine for expedition began, but it can be seen that Goujian lived on his salary and tasted courage for ten years, launched an army to conquer Wu, and the people offered wine. ", it can be seen that this has become a custom in the Spring and Autumn Period and Warring States Period.Ethanol is the most wonderful thing in the world. This thing is both material and spiritual. Although many soldiers on the battlefield cannot do without cigarettes, cigarettes can never replace alcohol. The strength and potency of cigarettes are not enough.Only wine can burn a person's whole body, so again and again, "Cheers to victory!" Luo Buji, in the ranks of the commando, poured down the whole cup of sauce in one gulp, and then followed the second commando He rushed towards Height 968, several shells exploded one after another, his body was thrown high and then fell in all directions.The live video of the battle recorded this tragic moment.

Two months after the point-out battle, the head of the regiment who commanded the battle said to the author while drinking: "The most worth mentioning is that our cameraman followed the commando team and took pictures while fighting. That is real. We sent Five soldiers were dedicated to protecting him. As soon as he took a shot, the soldiers hugged him on all sides. The threat of the Vietnamese army’s air bombs was too great, and it covered a large area at once. There were 29 pneumothorax in that battle. The soldiers who covered the video were one by one. One fell to the ground, and the last one was injured again. The videographer put down the camera and carried him back, but the last part was not filmed. Anyway, Laoshan has been playing for several years, so many times, our group is the first one. Live video of the battle."

During the Spring Festival of 1987, a blind man in Wenshan prefecture played the sanxian and sang a toast song to express his condolences to the troops who were about to go to Laoshan: "Don't be sad when you leave, my sister will send my brother to the front, and take this bottle of home wine. It is more courageous to drink it. Usually you will not let me drink it, but you can understand my sister’s mood. Before leaving, I will offer a glass of wine, and I hope my brother will return to his hometown triumphantly.” People transcribed and sang.Especially when drinking, as long as one person hums, the whole table sings along, and tears fall into the cup. For a while, this song swept the entire army.

Not all soldiers who went to the battlefield could drink celebration wine, but none of the soldiers in Laoshan refused to go out to drink. From the perspective of war culture, although the charm of wine can be raised to the height of aesthetics, after all, wine is not beneficial but harmless when used in combat.He and he rummaged through the pockets of their combat uniforms, but couldn't find enough RMB to buy a bottle of liquor. The few monthly allowances, ten yuan for combat expenses and five yuan for cat ear piercing fees, had already been paid off by a pack of cigarettes. , The ethnic minorities in the war zone were impressed by the ancient custom of bartering, so they thought of hand grenades.As a result of this exchange, they both experienced the strictness of battlefield discipline and military law.I also want to introduce him-Duoji Chongweng. Listening to his name, one can think of that husky nation.Because of his alcoholism and loss of control after drinking, the company decided to arrange him in the "rear protection group" when he was on the field.Drinking too much made him unable to show his strength on the battlefield. He would rather give up one. He got his wish and came to the frontier of "Shangganling in the 1980s", and wrote two distinctive words on the eye-catching place on the cave wall: quit drinking. On February 7, 1989, the war zone newspaper published "Duoji Chongweng's Notes on Alcohol Rehabilitation", saying, "Sometimes he really wants to drink, so he eats some chili noodles. , I have never missed anything because of drinking." Duoji, be patient and patient, and when you go to the battlefield in the future, we hope that you two will open the altar, hold a bowl and drink like a long whale sucking hundreds of rivers, okay?

There is only one kind of wine, which can be drunk in large quantities without rhythm.This inexhaustible famous wine is the "spiritual wine" produced by dozens of phones and dozens of mouths.Under the guidance of the host of "Triumph Dream", everyone's ideas came to the guest house of the military region.The head of the military region said, invite the brothers to have a light meal, the table is full of dishes, the head and feet are in the water, braised pork, braised pork knuckles, chicken, duck and fish on the big plate, sea cucumbers and squids that have never been seen before.Waitresses came and went with plates.The boys' eyes were struck by lightning.After eating, we divided into two tables, and the political commissar of the commander accompanied Xiang Xiaoping, Wang Shuguang and Liu Changzhu.His son was accompanied by the deputy commander and deputy political commissar.Some said they didn't know how to drink alcohol, but the commander said, just drink champagne.The political commissar said that the meritorious officials were not excited to drink champagne, so they went to Moutai, and then some foreign goods, cocktails, brandy, and red wine. The chief clinked glasses and asked, who is the brat?You are working very hard, and you are so close to the enemy. How did you establish the idea of ​​selfless dedication?The brothers panicked and spilled wine.Save money and make a revolution, lie on the table and suck, squeak, and the saliva comes down.

Still in cat ears. Don't say that soldiers can't live without wine.Don't say that the fragrance of wine is everywhere in Laoshan.When Laoshan was regained on "4.28", there was no grand expedition to swear.There are no red and flowers, and no female soldiers toast.No wine is better than wine.You rushed up, and you rushed to the top of the old mountain with an altitude of 1442 meters in 1 hour and 54 minutes. You used your sedan chair to defend the dignity of the motherland, and your blood steamed like a cloud in southern Xinjiang.Now, you are quietly and neatly arranged here.

The Malipo Martyrs Cemetery during the Qingming Festival is the place where the most alcohol is used in the Laoshan war zone, and it is the day when the front line is the most alcoholic, from Yichou to Bingyin, from Dingmao to Wuchen to Jiji.Is it to make up for the lack of wine that time?There is also a little bit of guilt. Before I pulled out the wine, I gave you fake Moutai. Although Wenshan Prefecture has Moutai, I didn’t get it that time. I didn’t want to let you down. Can you forgive me? And you, Li Shaoyun who died the day before your birthday, the day after you left, your mother’s birthday gift arrived, and the commander Guan spilled a glass of wine on the post where you died: Shaoyun, my good brother, today is Your birthday, we see you coming.At the same moment, in the distant hometown of Hunan, your parents are celebrating your birthday, the red candle is lit, and the two elders raise their wine glasses. From today, your son will be 20 years old.At the same moment, your body was sent to the cremation plant, and your comrades in arms cleaned and arranged for you, and offered you a last glass of wine before sending you on the final journey.Please drink it, drink it, forever 19 years old.

And you, Zhang Daquan, the first Qingming Festival in the first year of the cemetery, Yichou Qingming, your wife cried to death here. And you, Guo Xingke, Bingchen Qingming, your little daughter pestered her mother to earn more money to buy her a father. And you, Liu Zhaoquan, Ding Mao Qingming, your father came again, borrowed 200 yuan to travel from Shandong to see you, took a 4-day train and 2-day bus to see you, brought white flour cakes baked by your mother for you, and the wine was in the county bought. And you, Quan Guangyou, Wuchen Qingming, your elder brother and younger brother came to see you and brought you a plastic bucket of corn wine brewed by your father himself.

And you.The villagers near the cemetery said that at night, the sound of footsteps walking in the queue can be heard in this garden, making a loud noise!Still practicing, ready to go?Please drink this glass of wine.And you, tens of thousands of officers and soldiers who have spilled blood, sweat, and tears on this red land, please raise your glasses, whether it is sweet or bitter, life or death, fragrant or spicy, war or peace , let us drink this soldier's wine, Laoshan's wine.
