The general died in a hundred battles, and the hero returned in ten years. Once on the battlefield, people's life and death become involuntary, where knives and guns have no eyes, and the flames soar into the sky, which may deprive a young and fresh life at any time.
Even so, there were still groups of people who appeared on the battlefield. When the war begins, those who were once greedy for life and afraid of death, selfish and cowardly, will be burned by a fierce fire and disappeared.
The warriors can only give up their weakness, and even some of them will stand at the forefront of the team, to bear the greatest damage, to face the greatest possibility of the passage of life.
They may or may not want to, but they have no choice and must stand there. If we were in a different place, we would also listen to the arrangement and stand in the first row.
Charge to earn fame and fortune
In ancient times, it was the era of cold weapons, when two armies faced each other on the battlefield, sharpened blades, shining cold, neatly lined up.
At that time, due to the lack of developed productivity, there was not enough advanced and developed protective equipment.
Cold weapons, once touched the warm human body, hot blood, will be scattered and sprayed, many people will only die in, endless despair.
Even though the injury rate is very high, someone must be in the first row. Some of them do it voluntarily because they have a stronger desire to make a difference or to escape a destiny.
As early as thousands of years ago, the Spring and Autumn Warring States Period. Shang Martin promulgated a law that ordinary people who want to make meritorious achievements should be measured by their military merits, as long as they kill a certain number of enemy troops, cut off their heads, and as evidence, they can get a reward for upgrading to a higher level.
In feudal society, an ordinary person who wants a rich and carefree life must fight with his own life. Standing in the first row was vulnerable to attack, and at the same time easy to take credit for, they were the first to rush to the enemy.
In another case, in the case of a serious shortage of troops, some death row prisoners could be included in the ranks and placed in the first row. If they fought bravely and behaved well, they could be pardoned accordingly.
It's like throwing a tiny light into an otherwise dark house. Since the end is all death, they might as well rush out and win a hope for themselves to live.
These rewards are brilliantly placed in front of everyone, and those who want to change the status quo of their lives will actively participate in them and become warriors standing in the first row.
Helpless under pressure
But not everyone can bear the pressure of standing in the first row, not everyone wants to achieve great achievements.
There are also many people whose lifelong dream is nothing more than to start an ordinary small family, own a few acres of thin fields, and their lovers work at sunrise and rest at sunset. The upper can honor the parents who have worked hard all their lives, and the lower can raise innocent children.
What's on the battlefield? What high-ranking official Houlu? None of it has anything to do with them, they just want to live a peaceful life. Can such a person decide his own life and decide to stand in the first row?
No, it's still up to them to choose. Ancient armies set up supervisors to observe the mental state of soldiers.
On the battlefield, the overseers once they found that the soldiers tried to escape, or wanted to shake the hearts of the army. He had the power to draw his sword and execute these soldiers on the spot to set an example.
Soldiers face possible death when they advance, and absolute death when they retreat, so soldiers will not choose to flee unless they have to.
At the same time, there are some things in the world that are more important than life, such as fame, such as the lives of people they care about.
Even if someone escapes successfully, the social atmosphere at that time will not leave room for them to survive. All the soldiers' information is registered, and if they are found to have escaped, the soldier's squad will all be executed.
The families of soldiers would be implicated and the State would abolish their family pensions. Family members will live in endless accusations and insults, and it will be difficult to move forward.
The individual is like a speck of dust, in a grand environment, unable to control the flow of the wind. Under the pressure of feudal society, those who were forced to join the army, they did not dare and could not imagine.
If you follow your heart, if you leave the army, how will your life change? They can only obey the orders of the chief and arrange them wherever they are.
The head of the army will consider the whole picture, and those standing in the first row generally have a wealth of combat experience. They have been through many wars and have an extremely strong psychological quality. These people came out of the sea of corpses and blood, and they were even more eager to gain something.
In terms of the arrangement of the team, the people standing in the front row, experienced, can have more sophisticated protective weapons and wear a full set of armor. The further into the rear of the line, the less protective equipment the soldiers have, the less experienced the soldiers are, and they cannot play a greater role on the battlefield.
The great righteousness of the home and the country in modern society
Time goes by and society rises and falls. The train of the times, under the progress of technology, roared forward, faster and faster.
The feudal system was in decline, and the long-term policy of closing the country to the outside world made this huge country poor and weak. Modern China is like a woman with a treasure in her heart, but without the strength of a chicken, she can only be bullied by invaders who are full of greed and full of green light.
It was decades of suffering, displacement and hardship for people. The country is at war and its development is stagnant. In the eyes of the great powers, this distant eastern country, and the people in the country, are not worthy of awe.
However, the people Chinese burst forth with powerful spiritual power. It is a kind of patriotic feeling that comes from the bottom of our hearts, the most simple patriotic feeling, the land under our feet, that is, our motherland, will not allow other countries to invade and occupy in the slightest.
In the midst of numerous battles, a group of people can be seen, who are not afraid of life and death, standing firmly in the first row. These people are not for honor, nor for the oppression of any force.
They just want to do something for this country, they just want to protect their families.
In the process of fighting foreign enemies, these warriors scrambled. Even if there is a huge disparity in strength, even if the weapons are backward, they are still charging forward. It is they who use their flesh and blood to pave the way to peace and happiness, so that we can have a better life now.
epilogue
Today, we have aircraft and tanks, missile cannons, and we do not need many fighters to turn the tide of war with our own flesh and blood.
Maybe just a few people sitting in the control room, just a few maneuvers, can end the battle. But the progress of science and technology is always a double-edged sword, which makes people's lives more precious and makes the scope of damage infinitely expanded.
Even now, the world environment is not very peaceful, and there are undercurrents. To guard all this hard-won thing, our army and people must have the courage and responsibility to stand in the first row, and we must dare to draw our swords, dare to show our swords, and dare to think and fight at all times.
