Chapter 512 Never Depreciates
Yang Xiaotao stepped forward and helped Platoon Leader Du and Director Wang walk in together.
When I came to the entrance of the courtyard, I looked around. It was similar to a courtyard house, with many families living there.
The same scene, but the yard is very clean, and the children are restrained by adults and do not run around.
As soon as Yang Xiaotao walked in, someone came out of the house and stood up from the ground.
At this moment, Yang Xiaotao knew why Director Wang asked him to come and see it in person.
Here, there are many people like Hao Ren Duchuan who are missing arms and legs, and who are blind.
Yang Xiaotao was stunned on the spot.
Director Wang didn't say anything when he saw him, knowing that this would be the case.
After all, everyone who comes here for the first time says this look.
Yang Xiaotao looked to the left, the person on crutches, the person being supported.
Look at the right side, there is a man with one eye missing, a ricket, and a man standing on a stool, but he has no legs.
For a moment, my nose felt sore, but I resisted opening my eyes wide and preventing tears from flowing down.
"Director Wang, Director Yang, let's go in and talk."
"Here comes someone, please serve tea quickly."
"Xiao Hao, please come quickly."
Platoon Leader Du shouted a few words, and everyone immediately started moving and walked towards the largest courtyard together.
Entering the door, Hao Ren was pouring water.
The family has four walls, and the room is like a hanging chime.
Except for the drinking bowl and the chopsticks placed in the cupboard, there is no other furniture.
The whole house is like a rough house in the previous life.
There are just two more wooden windows, which are open at this time for ventilation.
When Yang Xiaotao looked around the house, he discovered something special.
It was a gun, a rifle, with a bayonet stuck under the gun head, but only half of the bayonet was left.
"Director Wang, Director Yang, sit down!"
Platoon Leader Du greeted, while Hao Ren was busy on the side, pouring water and making tea, very skillfully.
"Platoon Leader Du, you're welcome, just call me Xiao Yang." Yang Xiaotao sat down and didn't think the word "Director Yang" sounded very nice, especially in front of these people.
Platoon Leader Du didn't pay attention and kept talking, "Director Wang came to me yesterday to tell me that the work problem was finally solved. I didn't expect that Director Yang would come today. We were unprepared, sorry!"
Puilator Du’s politeness made Yang Xiaotao not sure how to reply.
Life here is really hard. To say it’s pretty good is not a slap in the face, right? If you say you don’t need to prepare, isn’t that looking down on you?
Yang Xiaotao didn't know what to say, so he simply changed the subject.
"Platoon Commander Du, what are you doing? Can you tell me about it?"
Platoon Commander Du was a little surprised when he heard this.
"It's all about old sesame seeds and rotten millet. What are you talking about?"
"Tell me about it, I want to know." Yang Xiaotao became more and more sure that the story inside will be filmed by later generations. It can't be made into a movie.
"We didn't catch up with that war, but we all know that you fought for us, the younger generations."
"Tell me about it."
There was a silence in the room, Many people outside are looking for a place to sit.
Seeing this, Hao Ren sat aside.
"Platoon leader, just tell me."
Platoon Leader Du was silent for a moment and nodded, "Okay, if you want to hear it, let's start with my leg in 1952."
"That was one month before the armistice, and the American emperor was unwilling to give in at the negotiation table. , there are more little tricks below. At that time, I was still a platoon leader, the leader of the reconnaissance platoon..."
Platoon Leader Du fell into memories.
More than ten years have passed. Although the sacrificed comrades and the fallen brothers cannot be seen, the sounds and images in my mind have never disappeared for a moment.
Later, Platoon Leader Du told his story.
In that battle, Du Chuan led his men out of the tunnel and prepared to seize the enemy's No. 3 stronghold.
After a night of fighting, the two sides continued to push and pull on the final position. At first, the enemy was caught off guard and everything went smoothly, but the friendly support went in the wrong direction, resulting in no backup and an ineffective attack.
At this time, it was dawn, and the enemy's aircraft and artillery kept coming. The people who were blown up by the explosion could not see anyone if they lay down on it, but the steel inside the soil was hot and sharp, and they couldn't lie down at all.
Du Chuan led the last ten soldiers and did not retreat but stayed in place.
He knew that only when he got involved with the enemy would he be wary of having a bomb on his head.
Although there were no artillery shells, enemy reinforcements continued to arrive.
Du Chuan led his men to guard for a whole day, and finally three of the ten soldiers were left. He also lost his left leg.
When Platoon Leader Du said it, it was like an open thermos bottle. The water slowly flowed down like a thread and would not stop until it was poured out.
People around me feel the same way, maybe they have the same experience, maybe they are used to it.
However, Platoon Commander Du’s voice was heavy, and Yang Xiaotao felt equally heavy in his heart.
"At night, the company commander will personally bring his people up, and we will take down Position 3 together."
Company Commander Du said, sighing, and reached out to touch the table twice, and touched the water tank. Then he put it in his mouth.
Just the hand holding the jar was shaking a little.
"What about your eyes, too?"
Yang Xiaotao's words were a bit abrupt, mainly because the head he was listening to suddenly broke off, and he said it without paying attention for a while.
Hao Ren on the side saw this and took over the conversation.
"I followed the platoon leader. When it got dark, the only three who could move were the platoon leader, me, and a baby."
"The baby was the youngest, but he was The most literate among us. He helped me remember the number and the writing."
"What a pity..."
"After nightfall, the company commander came up with the able men in the company under artillery fire. Take position 3.”
"But the nearby No. 7 position has not been captured. The enemy can provide support through here at any time. It is imminent to capture No. 7 position."
"But at this time, the company commander was killed by an artillery shell. The platoon leader refused to go down Treat the wounded, take over the command task, the baby is carrying the platoon leader, I Lead ten people and rush to position 7 together."
"The platoon leader's marksmanship is very accurate. He can shoot one person at a time in the dark. He is the best gun in our battalion."
Hao. Ren had a proud look on his face, and the people outside also nodded, very convinced of Platoon Leader Du.
Afterwards, Hao Ren continued to tell the story.
At this time, a figure appeared outside the door, leaning against the door, also listening fascinated.
Later, Wawa carried the platoon leader on his back and rushed toward the enemy. The platoon leader controlled the firepower point from behind. Hao Ren led the charge. He took two steps and threw the grenade, then fired and threw it again.
In the dark night, there were explosions everywhere, shouts of killing, and gunfire everywhere. "Later!"
Hao Ren's eyes were moist, his expression was sad, and his voice became deeper.
"Later, we secured Position 7, but there were only three people left."
"At that time, I discovered that the platoon leader at the back did not come up."
"I'll go look for him. , and then found the baby whose body was broken by the mortar, and the platoon leader who was lying motionless on the ground."
After the battle ended, only nineteen wounded were left in their company, and there were more wounded on the road. Eight didn't make it.
One hundred and twenty-one of the one hundred and thirty-two people in the company were gone, and some even had their bones gone. They all fell on that mountain.
Talking about the past, people in the courtyard were still very excited.
After hearing this, Yang Xiaotao felt even more panicked.
Listening to what they said, there was darkness in front of me, a stream of bullets flying in the air, blood dripping in the soil, and eyes filled with murderous intent.
It is bravery in cruelty.
Instead of treating it as a kind of "education," a kind of "sympathy", or a kind of "entertainment".
He was genuine, shocking, indescribable, yet plainly defiant.
On that battlefield, a few people dared to charge the enemy, knowing that they were close to death. What kind of courage was this? How big are the hearts of these people.
Death generously is the way to go.
If it were him before time travel, he doesn't know if he would have had such courage.
No, Yang Xiaotao definitely didn’t.
He was afraid of fear and even more afraid of death.
After being reborn, Yang Xiaotao discovered that the environment can really change a person's thinking.
When you are surrounded by a group of people who sacrifice their lives and blood for their ideals, when you are surrounded by passionate people, you will be assimilated.
You will feel that you can do it.
Just like Yang Xiaotao now, he has this illusion in his heart.
If war comes, he will take that step.
Duchuan received first-class merit for this battle, Hao Ren received second-class merit, and Du Chuan even accepted the banner of the company as acting company commander.
After the war ended, everyone was transported back to their country, and they were arranged here.
After Hao Ren finished speaking, he also picked up the jar and covered his expression.
“Have you ever been afraid?”
Yang Xiaotao lowered his head and asked what he had always wanted to ask.
“Afraid?”
“Why should we be afraid? Just because he has planes and tanks, and just because they are powerful, he wants to bully us?”
Platoon Commander Du’s voice was strong Full of power, "Who are we? We want to liberate all mankind."
"Stand up straight, don't lie down, what are you afraid of!"
Yang Xiaotao straightened up suddenly. He suddenly remembered that someone had said it before.
When Miss Qiu came out, it was time to straighten her waist.
But what about before that?
What makes them stand up straight?
Now he knows, it is this group of people in front of him.
It is their backbone that has allowed this country to stand up completely.
"Yes, what are we afraid of?"
"No fear, destroy all paper tigers."
Yang Xiaotao looked at the people at the door. Although their bodies were incomplete, But the spirit was so high.
Compared to them, those who grovel are mentally crippled.
Those who flatter and flatter foreigners are ideological waste.
A rabbit appeared in front of our eyes...
“Use our own hands to create a flower grower who is well fed, warmly clothed, and not looked down upon by others.”
< br>"Kiss, your tears will be frozen"
"Kiss, charge, kiss"
"Give me another brick, and I will go to the third to eighth lines again."
...
Yang Xiaotao stood up and wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes.
"Platoon Leader Du, Squad Leader Hao, and everyone."
"You guys have learned a lesson."
"In my eyes, you are the real heroes, the heroes of this country."
Platoon Commander Du lowered his head, and two lines of tears flowed from his eyes.
“What kind of heroes are we?”
“Those who can’t come back, those who didn’t even leave their names, those...”
“They are the heroes. ”
"We are just luckier. We are not heroes."
Hao Ren on the side also raised his head, "Yes, Director Yang, it will be a big honor for you to listen to what we have to say. You usually chatter with these guys, Which one is not impatient?"
"If these guys are heroes, then there are too many heroes."
There was a burst of laughter from outside, free and unconcerned.
“No, you are the heroes.”
Yang Xiaotao said with certainty, "Heroes will not be devalued just because there are too many people."
"It will not be devalued just because there are too many people."
"You are heroes. , everyone is. "
"Forever, even if you pass away, those who come after you will remember you."
There was a silence around.
Platoon Leader Du burst into tears.
Hao Ren's smiling face also turned serious.
“Don’t you know, you can’t shed tears?”
At this moment, a female voice came, breaking the serious atmosphere.
