In the spring of 1979, Liu Lu took on a task: to accompany Dr. Wu Yifang, a famous educator in his eighties, to visit American cities. Stepping onto this land that had been reached during the Period of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, she was full of emotion: "There is really no eternal enemy in the world. ”
To her surprise, during her visit to the United States, she was recognized by the American prisoners of war. On this day, she was attending a public event at the Brooklyn Museum in New York, when a tall American man took the initiative to talk to her.
Just as she was wondering, the man held her hand tightly and said, "You are Officer Liu!" I remember you, in the POW camp of the Volunteer Army, where you interrogated me. He told Liu Lu that his name was James and that he still kept the small pin that Officer Liu had given to the prisoners of war at Christmas, with the word "peace" written on it.
More than twenty years have passed, the situation has changed, and Liu Lu is no longer green, and his sideburns are invaded. However, when she was young, she had the ambition not to let her eyebrows be raised, and resolutely rushed to the battlefield, just as Qiu Jin, a modern revolutionary hero, said: "Hugh Yan women are not British things, and the night dragon spring wall sounds." ”
Throwing pen from Rong, through hardships
Liu Lu once liked to sing and dance since she was a child, and served as a backbone of literature and art in the school, but who ever thought that such a little girl, when the war to resist the United States and aid Korea and defend her family and defend the country broke out, she threw herself into the pen and resolutely gave up the East China Military and Political University without consulting with her family, and took the initiative to sign up to cross the Yalu River with the army.
It was the end of 1950, the front line of the war had captured a large number of prisoners of the coalition army, in order to successfully carry out the interrogation work, it was necessary to urgently recruit a group of young translators, and Liu Lu, who was still a senior in college, was one of the 23 recruits.
Liu Lu's ability to have such courage is actually related to the education she received since childhood. Her great-grandfather Liu Bingzhang was a soldier who fought against the French invaders in the late Qing Dynasty, and the descendants of the Liu family were deeply influenced by the great-grandfather's spirit of loyalty to the king and the country.
Many of her brothers and sisters have actively responded to the call of the state, working in the Youth League Municipal Committee, the Southward Cadre Service Group and other places, and when they resisted the United States and aided Korea, the gold bracelets that their mother gave to their sisters were donated to the state.
After crossing the Yalu River, Liu Lu was assigned to the Enemy Works Department under the Political Department of the Ninth Corps of the Chinese Volunteer Army, which was located on the ruins of a village and was devastated, and she was mainly responsible for the English translation of the investigation and research team and the interrogation of prisoners of war.
Liu Lu had never been exposed to military knowledge before, in order to understand various military terms, such as weapons, ammunition, guns and other vocabulary, she could only study while working, through copying, memorization and other methods, day and night to study, quickly mastered the skills.
Working in the field, the environment is very difficult, but she gritted her teeth and persevered, never slackening. The Ninth Corps needed to approach the direction of the "March 8th" line, marching nearly ninety miles a day, and in order to avoid the threat of American fighters, everyone had to carry heavy luggage, make camouflage, and climb mountains and rivers.
Liu Lu, who was originally well-bred in Shanghai, did not dare to fall down even if there were blood blisters on his feet and sore shoulders. The small body carried the cold wind and flood, and also carried the thrill of being trapped in the air raid shelter by heavy snow.
Interrogating prisoners of war, meet James
In the summer of 1951, after the victory of the Fifth Campaign, groups of PRISONERs of war were escorted to the regimental headquarters of the Ninth Corps, where they could not stay for more than three days, during which time they were subjected to a brief initial interrogation, after which they were taken to the management regiment at headquarters.
When Liu Lu was interrogating prisoners of war, he once met a very arrogant prisoner of war, he was originally a pilot in the US army, he had participated in World War II, and his qualifications were quite sophisticated. Facing Liu Luzeng, who had come to interrogate him, he said, "I am a famous soldier, and I will fall into the hands of a hairy man." ”
The young Liu Lu did not show weakness in the face of aggressive American prisoners of war, but fought against them and struck at his pride. The prisoner of war was placed in custody with South Korean prisoners of war, and his preferential treatment was revoked. Soon, he offered to talk.
James Gertner, a recent recruit in the U.S. First Marine Division, was captured on the battlefield for the first time. According to Liu Lu' description, he was a Native of Florida, Usa, tall, with brown hair and blue eyes, and was only twenty-two years old at the time.
After the outbreak of war, after being sentenced by the court for stealing a guest's car, he agreed to serve as a United Nations army in North Korea for half a year under false propaganda by the US government to offset the sentence. He himself did not have much of a concept of the East, Korea, and the war.
Once, when he had a fever that caused him to perform badly, Liu Lu asked the military doctor to send him a few pills and reported to the leader, approving that he could take a ride that night. With the help of this female soldier, he experienced the Chinese People's Volunteers' humanitarian policy of not beating, cursing, killing, humiliating, or searching for prisoners of war.
After a period of educational reform, his class composition and political performance shifted from backward to intermediate, and in a letter to his girlfriend, he said: After living in a prisoner-of-war camp, I learned the meaning of the volunteer army's lenient policy towards prisoners, and here, more like friends than being treated as prisoners of war.
Battlefield Nightingale, Thrilling Frontline
Subsequently, Liu Lu was transferred to the Enemy Engineering Section of the Political Department of the 24th Army of the Volunteer Army as an English translator. It was close to Christmas, and in order to take advantage of christmas to concentrate on launching a political offensive against the enemy, the troops needed an English-language propagandist who shouted directly to the enemy, so she took the initiative to ask for participation.
Shouting at the enemy is not an easy task. She followed the convoy to the front line and saw what was going on and on and on. The tweeter was placed in a bunker at the top of the hill by the warriors, and from eight o'clock in the evening to one o'clock in the night, she broadcast to the enemy in the tunnel.
Sometimes it was to promote the position of our army and the policy of preferential treatment of prisoners, and sometimes to play Christmas songs such as "Ode to Joy" and "Christmas Eve". In the dark of the night, accompanied by music on the radio, the land of fierce battles during the day ushered in a rare tranquility.
When descending the mountain, Liu Lu had escorted her army to encounter a fierce attack from the enemy, the battle was intense, she forcibly escaped the blockade line under the escort of soldiers, this was the most critical moment of her life, behind the flames, she has been desperately running forward, racing against the god of death, and finally escaped the enemy's blockade.
She is proud to recall the past full of war and smoke. The baptism of war transformed her from a petite lady of a capitalist into a strong female volunteer soldier, which can be described as "the sons and daughters of China, who do not love red clothes and love arms." ”
Liu Lu, who returned from the battlefield, was still an activist for patriotic education, running in various activities related to the Nanjing Military and Civilian Memorial Hall to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea.
Someone once asked her: When you escaped from the front line of the war from the enemy blockade, were you not afraid? She smiled and said: I believe in the arrangement of the state. It is precisely because of faith that we will be brave and fearless.
