This was a dangerous situation that happened to one of our platoon soldiers when I was a platoon commander, and every time I think about it, I feel a chill down my spine!
On June 20, 1984, I graduated from the Shijiazhuang Army Academy (then known as the school) and returned to my old team, the 579th Regiment of the 1st Xuanhua Red Division, and the regiment arranged for me to be a platoon commander in the 2nd Machine Company.
In late autumn, a communicator from our 2nd Battalion Headquarters was "delegated" to our company. The company commander said to me, "Let your platoon go?" I said okay, and I didn't refuse to come, because I think that, generally speaking, soldiers are good soldiers, and only cadres who can't lead soldiers.
This soldier is really good, and he doesn't have to worry about the cadres at all. He is from Wanrong County, Shanxi, not tall 1.65 meters, a little fat, enlisted in the army for less than a year, very smart and clever, disciplined, work hard in training, and actively cooperate with the squad platoon leader. I am happy. As for why he was "delegated" from the battalion headquarters to the company, I never asked him.
However, something happened to such a good soldier. It was during the veteran's discharge, and one night, he asked for leave to go to Xuanhua Railway Station to send his demobilized comrades-in-arms home, and he sent his comrades-in-arms on the train. Let's get on, you put down your things and get off the train quickly, hey! In desperation, he opened the window and jumped out of it......
With this jump, he fell to the ground, knocked his head on the other railroad track, fainted at that time, came to his senses after a while, and then got up and returned to the army in a daze. If you wake up a little later, maybe the train will come and press you over......
When he reported to me what had happened, I was really frightened, and the punishment I had received was a trivial matter, and how could I explain to my parents and the troops if I lost my life? I said angrily: "Do you think you are a railway guerrilla? You can climb and jump as much as you want! If you are run over by a train, how can you pay it back?" As soon as I criticized him for two sentences, I found that he had a bag on his head, and blood was oozing out, and he could not be approved again, so I quickly called the company health officer to bandage him.
Afterwards, I took this as an example to educate him and the soldiers of the platoon: Under normal circumstances, you should not get on the train when you are sent to the station; if you are helping others carry a lot of things, you should hurry up when you get on the train, put down your things and get off the train as soon as possible; what if the train starts and does not come down? Then it doesn't matter if you take it for a stop and get down, at most you should delay some time and then come back! You must not jump off the train. If you miss the time and come back and get a few words of criticism, it's a big deal to give a punishment, but jumping off the train may be fatal, it's too dangerous. Everyone listened to it and thought so.
At that time, I also reported the incident to the company cadres. The cadres of the company also felt afraid, saying that it was fortunate that nothing serious happened, and that this matter should end here, and that they should not make a noise. I think, I'm afraid I can't cover it, how dare I make a noise? [Cover your face] [Cover your face] [Cover your face]
At the end of the recruit training that year (in fact, New Year's Day was 1985), this communicator who came down from the battalion headquarters learned to be a driver. I see...... The next company has been over for a few months, and it almost poked a big leak in me!
