In the 1950s, new China had just been founded, and every household was ready to build a country. At this time, on the Korean Peninsula, war was on the verge of breaking out.
Just after the end of the Second World War, the Korean Peninsula was divided into two countries of different social natures.
On June 20, 1950, the Korean War broke out, and the United States immediately sent troops to intervene in the war. On many occasions, United States forces have crossed national borders, violated our territory and threatened our national security.
On October 19, Peng Dehuai led the Chinese People's Volunteer Army to cross the Yalu River in support of the Korean People's Army.
First, join the army in the chaos of war
Guofeng Yong was born in 1930, and was born when the country was in turmoil and wars, and it was very fortunate to survive.
In 1937, the Japanese army vainly attempted to invade China, the Chinese military and people rose up to resist, and the War of Resistance Against Japan broke out.
It was a war of nationality, and the Japanese army had the most advanced weapons and occupied one city after another. And these ordinary people who were occupied by the Japanese army faced massacres.
When the war broke out, Kunighiro's parents fled with Kunihiro, but unfortunately they did not escape the Japanese planes and artillery in the end, and both were killed, leaving only the little Kunihiro.
Guofeng Yong experienced the destruction of his family, and even more saw the cruelty of the war and the cruelty of the Japanese in the process of fleeing, and secretly made up his mind to kill the devils with his hands and avenge his parents.
In 1945, Japan announced its unconditional surrender, and although Kunighiro regretted that he had not been able to avenge his parents with his own hands, he was still very grateful to these soldiers who fought for the country.
After the end of the War of Resistance Against Japan, the civil war broke out again, and the people of the whole country were panicked, and the past was vividly remembered, and Guofengyong was worried and uneasy in his heart. After much deliberation, he decided to join the army as part of thousands of soldiers, fighting for the stability and peace of the motherland.
In 1948, when GuofengYong was just eighteen years old, he couldn't wait to come to the army registration office of our army and resolutely joined the Chinese People's Liberation Army.
Newly recruited, Guofeng Yong was assigned to the Western Naval District and trained to become a qualified soldier.
Later, Guofengyong's unit was incorporated into the artillery company, and Guofengyong also met pan Zongdao, the most unforgettable friend in his life, in the artillery company.
Second, brothers and friends, forge ahead
Pan Zongdao was already the commander of the artillery company when Guofengyong's unit was incorporated into the artillery company. In the eyes of other soldiers, Pan Zongdao was a very kind person, and he would often chat with them in the army and care about their lives.
However, Pan Zongdao on the battlefield is a heroic and wise man, every time he fights, he can always keenly judge the location of the enemy, and at the same time lead the soldiers to kill the enemy, so Pan Zongdao is also famous in the army.
After GuofengYong entered the army, because he knew the cruelty of the war, he was also very attentive in the face of training, and his ability also reached a great improvement.
GuofengYong's excellence was seen by the leaders, so he was appointed as a correspondent of the Artillery Federation. At that time, the correspondent had to exchange information with the commander from time to time, and when he came and went, Guo Fengyong and Pan Zongdao also became acquainted.
Pan Zongdao joined the army in 1944, four years before Guofengyong, and both were from Shandong, and the same rural voice also made them feel very close. In this way, Pan Zongdao often took Guofeng Yong with him, cared about his life, constantly encouraged him, and regarded him as his younger brother.
At the Battle of Huaihai, their army caught the enemy by surprise and captured a large amount of supplies, and Pan Zongdao also captured a pair of new cloth shoes.
Pan Zongdao didn't think about it, so he gave the new cloth shoes to Guofengyong. You know, even a pair of cloth shoes was a rarity at that time, not to mention that it was still a trophy.
Guofeng Yonglian waved his hand and said, "Chief, this is a trophy, you have a hard time getting it, you still keep it for yourself." ”
Pan Zongdao said with a flat face: "I still have to wear it, and besides, you are the signal soldier of our artillery company, you must not move on the battlefield, you must have a good pair of shoes!" ”
Guofeng could not resist Pan Zongdao, and in the end, he accepted this pair of cloth shoes. And this incident also made Guofeng Yong remember for a lifetime.
In the ensuing war, many comrades died every day, and the two brothers supported each other along the way, and almost died on the battlefield several times.
In the blink of an eye, two years of war-torn days have passed, and after several battles, our army has finally won the victory in the War of Liberation, and Guofengyong and Pan Zongdao have also made many military achievements and dedicated their own strength to the country.
There is an old saying that the barracks of iron strike, the soldiers of flowing water. There is no unbroken feast in the world, let alone in the army?
Before the outbreak of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, Pan Zongdao was transferred to the instructor because of his rich experience, and Guofengyong was also transferred to the artillery regiment to continue to serve as a messenger because of his outstanding performance in communications work.
The soldiers took it as their duty to obey orders, and the two went to work in different places.
On the eve of their separation, the two met and told each other, and they both hoped that the other could take good care of themselves.
Reunion after 68 years
After rushing to North Korea, Guofengyong found that the war here was more brutal than he thought. In winter in North Korea, it was freezing cold, and the thin cotton clothes of the volunteer soldiers could not withstand the cold, and the food of the volunteers was also very scarce.
In addition to the harsh environment, the volunteers also had to avoid bombing by American aircraft. Although this battle was difficult to fight, the volunteers stubbornly persevered and burst out a strong fighting force.
This difficult war made Guofengyong no longer have the energy to think about other things, and could only devote himself to various tasks, and since then, the brothers have never seen each other again.
In 1952, Guofengyong, who was seriously injured in the Korean War, returned to China to recuperate under the organization's arrangement.
After returning to China, in order to help these soldiers who fought for the country, the organization wanted to arrange a job for Guofengyong. However, Guofeng yong refused the state's arrangement, returned to his hometown, became an ordinary farmer, married and had children.
After Returning from North Korea, Pan Zongdao has been working in the army, and after retiring, settled in Wuxi, Jiangsu Province.
Although the lives of the two no longer intersect, they are still very concerned about each other.
Guofeng Yong often told his children and grandchildren the story of his military service, and whenever he talked about Pan Zongdao, he would always mention those unremitting stories, and he felt a lot of emotions in his heart, not knowing whether he could still see this brother in this life.
In the blink of an eye, more than sixty years have passed. The two have changed from green teenagers when they first joined the army to old men with gray hair, and their desire to see each other has not been realized.
One day, Guofeng Yong was reading the newspaper as usual, when suddenly, a report caught his attention.
This report writes about a veteran who recalled his military career that year, and this veteran was his old comrade-in-arms Pan Zongdao!
GuofengYong rubbed the newspaper with his rough fingers again and again, and at the same time read the report over and over again, afraid that he had read it wrong. After a long time, GuofengYong finally determined that this was his old comrade-in-arms!
From the newspaper, Guofengyong learned that Pan Zongdao was now in Wuxi, so he immediately called his son in the army and urged him to find his old chief.
His son Guo Jianbin received a call from his father, and he did not know how to find it for a while, he understood his father's heart, so he mobilized all his comrades-in-arms around him and even asked the leaders of the unit to help find Pan Zongdao.
After a long process, in the Spring Festival of 2018, the two elderly people finally met again across the mobile phone.
After a few years, Qingsi had already turned white hair. The differences over the years have not made them strange, and in the video, the two are still as cordial as when they were young.
Although Guofengyong had already made contact with Pan Zongdao, Guofengyong still wanted to meet Pan Zongdao.
His son Guo Jianbin knew that this was his father's wish for sixty-eight years, so during the National Day holiday, he specially went to Wuxi to visit Pan Zongdao, and told Pan Zongdao about his father's wish to see him.
Pan Zongdao listened, his eyes moistened, and said, "I have always missed him very much, if you want to see him, you can meet him, when the whole artillery company was more than a hundred people, now there are only two of us." ”
In May 2019, Pan Zongdao embarked on a journey back to his hometown, and Guofengyong was very excited to know that he could finally meet his brother who had been worried about him for more than 60 years.
A few days later, Guofengyong got into the car to meet Pan Zongdao, and along the way, although the distance was not far, Guofengyong was very nervous, he kept rubbing his hands and asked his son over and over again: "Have you arrived?" How long will it take?"
His son, Guo Jianbin, replied to his father over and over again: "It's almost here, it's coming." ”
Arriving at the destination, the car was not yet stable, Guofengyong saw Pan Zongdao standing under the stairs, he hurriedly urged the driver to stop, sorted out his clothes, and then got out of the car and walked towards Pan Zongdao with trembling.
The 93-year-old Pan Zongdao also saw Guofengyong walking towards him, and immediately greeted him, opening his mouth and shouting: "Small country! ”
This small country made everyone present tear up, the two old men were separated for more than half a century because of the war, and finally today, they can get together.
GuofengYong heard Pan Zongdao's call to him, immediately stood up, and saluted Pan Zongdao with a standard military salute, as before. Then he said: "Report chief, I have completed all the tasks entrusted to me by the party and the state!" ”
Pan Zongdao shed tears and hurriedly said, "Good! Good! Good! After saying that, he and Guofengyong hugged each other tightly.
After that, the two old men sat next to each other and chatted cordially about the day, from when they first joined the military to their current lives, they were eager to know how the other party had lived for so many years. Although the two are old, their hearts are still the same as before, still the enthusiastic teenagers.
The young man left home and returned to the old man, and the township voice did not change the sideburns. The two old men joined the army at a young age and dedicated the best years of their lives to the country, and they are well-deserved heroes.
Even if the two people have been apart for more than sixty years before the war, the goodbye is already twilight, and the remaining days do not know whether they can say goodbye, but they have always left a concern for each other in their hearts, even if they are thousands of miles apart, they will not forget the love in their hearts!
