If the war gives us the initial impression of cruelty and tragedy, then the next story may allow us to see a trace of the light of human nature that still exists in the war, which has not been erased.
It was during the Korean War, when our army held a position and the American army held a position, and the positions of the two armies were very close.
At that time, both armies had dry food, but drinking water was very difficult. Our army has no water, and the American army has no water.
Just below the positions of both sides, there was a large crater blown out by artillery shells. When it rains, the rainwater gathers here, forming a large waterhole. The waterhole was just within the range of the enemy's and our firepower.
When our army first went to fetch water, those who took water were shot cold by the US military and wounded or killed. When the U.S. army went to fetch water, it was also wounded or killed by our army.
People on both sides who fetched water were injured or beaten to death, and the end result was that no one could drink water.
Seeing this situation, one of the company instructors of our army wanted to agree with the US army that when fetching water, they could not shoot the personnel who took the water, but the two sides had different languages and could not communicate.
Later, a clever volunteer soldier made a sign on the sign, on which the two armies drew the time of each of them to fetch water, drew a submachine gun next to it, and then drew a big X on the muzzle of the submachine gun to indicate that they could not fight when fetching water.
After that, the U.S. military personnel seemed to understand what we meant. In this way, the two sides formed a particularly interesting battlefield tacit understanding!
When our army went down to fetch water, the US army stopped fighting. When the U.S. army went down to fetch water, our army did not fight. The two sides drank a pool of water together.
This kind of scene allows us to see a trace of the light of human nature in the cruel war, which has not been erased.
Today, looking back at the war more than seventy years ago, we should remember history, remember the martyrs, and cherish the hard-won peace that is now. May there be no more wars in the world, and may the glory of humanity continue to shine on us!
