On this day, the sentry heard the shouts of the villagers at the grave outside the village, and he hurried over, fearing that a dangerous situation would occur.
Who would have thought that he happened to see the newlywed deputy brigade commander holding a gun, chasing the bride while shouting:
"I'm going to shoot you today!"
What's going on?
The sentry was also the first time he saw the deputy brigade commander like this, and he was a little overwhelmed.
He saw that many villagers had already gathered, and everyone was chattering to dissuade the brigade commander, but to no avail.
Only then did he react and quickly reported the matter to the brigade commander Zhou Xihan. When Brigade Commander Zhou heard this, he returned the favor, and rushed to the scene with Director Lei Yun of the Political Department.
When I went to the place, Chu Daming's muzzle was pointing upward, and he didn't want to hurt the bride Zhou Yu.
The resolute Director Lei didn't have time to figure out the situation, and asked sharply:
"Lao Chu, I want to shoot the bride when I just got married, you want to go to heaven!"
As soon as Chu Daming saw the two of them, his momentum immediately weakened, he quickly put away the gun, and said with a smile: "We're joking." ”
The brigade commander knew his temperament, glared at him fiercely, and scolded: "What kind of joke is this kind of thing!"
then comforted Zhou Yu and said: "Xiao Zhou, if he makes a mess again in the future, you tell us directly, and we will clean him up." ”
Subsequently, he asked the villagers to take Zhou Yu back to rest first, and sent two female comrades to accompany her.
Only Chu Daming, who was still sulking, ran up the mountain alone.
He has anger in his heart, which is difficult to dissolve, but not to his own bride.
I also knew that Zhou Yu just said a few words in his heart, but he was so angry that he did such a stupid thing.
So, what did the bride Zhou Yu tell him?
"Aren't you afraid of being a widow?"
Zhou Yu first met Chu Daming in 1944.
At that time, Chu Daming was accidentally shot in the Battle of Qingfu, but he always pursued the concept of not being slightly injured in battle, and was forced to be sent to the field hospital by the soldiers until the battle was won.
On the way to the field hospital, Chu Daming developed a high fever and gradually fell into a coma.
Guard Li San anxiously urged the soldiers to go faster, while always paying attention to the state of the regiment commander.
Suddenly, he saw the regiment commander's mouth move, and when he leaned over to listen, Li San immediately exchanged glances with the soldiers: "The regiment commander wants to drink water." ”
You know, a few people don't have any water on their bodies now, and the water source near here is also polluted by the enemy, where can they find water?
Li San was like an ant on a hot pot, so anxious.
Luckily, it didn't take long for them to meet two women and a little girl.
As soon as they heard that the head of the regiment was in such a critical situation, they hurriedly handed over the only remaining water on their bodies to Li San.
Subsequently, together with the soldiers, they sent the regimental commander to the hospital, where they continued to take care of them until the operation.
Although Chu Daming was not very conscious, he dimly knew that several women had saved themselves with water.
When he woke up, he saw a female comrade taking care of himself in a daze, so he shouted, "Sister-in-law, thank you." ”
As soon as the female comrade heard this title, she threw down the sentence "I am not a sister-in-law" with a flushed face, and ran out to call someone.
Several women next to her laughed and said, "Zhou Yu is still a little girl, with a ponytail!"
Chu Daming knew that he had made a joke, and before he could apologize to the little girl, he fell asleep weakly.
Zhou Yu used to live in a very warm family, until two years ago, when the Japanese army entered the village and swept the village, her father and younger brother were killed to protect them, leaving her and her mother to rely on each other.
After hearing about Chu Daming's heroic deeds on the battlefield, Zhou Yu admired him very much and offered to stay in the hospital to continue to help.
However, Chu Daming is not a talkative person, so it is rare for the two to occasionally chat.
When Chu Daming's body recovered, he proposed the idea of going to the river for a walk and exercising.
His attending doctor is a high-achieving female student with a warm and cheerful personality, and in order to ensure his safety, he often goes for walks with him.
After many conversations, the female doctor thought that Chu Daming was not only brave and resourceful, but also very down-to-earth and steady, and a good man worthy of being entrusted for life, so she took the initiative to express her heart to him.
Unexpectedly, Chu Daming didn't understand the amorous feelings at all, and blurted out the sentence "Aren't you afraid of being a widow?"
This made the somewhat arrogant female doctor very angry, in her opinion, Chu Daming did not respond to his emotions positively at all, and he did not take his heart seriously.
Even Chen Geng at that time couldn't cry or laugh when he heard about it, this kid spoke too straight.
Chu Daming in his youth
As soon as the rumors spread, some of the little nurses who had a good impression of him before broke off their minds and only did their own things full-time, only Zhou Yu became more diligent.
Because she saw from this rhetorical question that Captain Chu was good, he was thinking about the female comrades, although the words were not good, but they were sincere.
In this way, the two slowly became familiar with each other.
The day before Chu Daming was discharged from the hospital, Zhou Yu thought of the current situation of himself and his mother, and came from sadness, crying and saying:
"Commander, now it's just me and my mother who depend on each other, I have nowhere to go, can I follow you?"
Chu Daming first comforted her for a while, and then said solemnly: "I am a full 11 years older than you, if you want, I will be your brother in the future." ”
Zhou Yu heard his voice, and slowly stopped crying, after all, her brother was also a kind of dependence on her.
What happened next, however, was beyond the control of the two parties.
Carry your head to the battlefield
This is not the first time that Chu Daming has used "Do you want to be a widow?" to dissuade those suitors, and obviously, it will not be the last.
Now the country is still in danger, and the relationship between children and daughters is not within the scope of Chu Daming's consideration.
What's more, there are no eyes on the battlefield, and every time Chu Daming charges into battle, he holds the belief that he will win and the determination to die.
Where do you dare to make a promise to a lesbian so easily?
Don't look at his words without emotional intelligence, but on the battlefield, Chen Geng once praised him as a natural combat hero, brave and strategic, and in control of the overall situation.
Chu Daming was one of the first young people in the village to participate in the uprising, when he was only 13 years old.
The tempering of blood and tears made him grow up quickly, but considering that Chu Daming was still young, his superiors arranged for him to be a hygienist in the hospital.
In less than two years, Chu Daming asked to go to the front line to fight, and he would rather be lying in the hospital than live under the protection of other soldiers every day.
Seeing that he was so determined, Xu Shiyou, who was the commander of the 34th Regiment of the 12th Division, made an exception and made him his own guard.
Since then, Chu Daming has become more and more brave in every battle, and he will never eat the losses he has suffered, and the pits he has stepped on will never become the bottom line of his battles.
Every time he came down from the battlefield, he was wounded all over his body, and he escaped a bloody man alive.
In this way, Chu Daming relied on his constantly refreshing record and made great progress all the way to become the head of the 20th regiment.
In 1943, Chu Daming obeyed the orders of his superiors and followed the 386th Brigade from southern Hebei to Taiyue District, which was full of dangers along the way.
The superiors received news that in order to weaken the strength of our army, the Japanese invaders urgently transferred 20,000 Japanese troops and puppet troops to carry out a sweep together.
Chen Geng, the commander of the 386th Brigade, decided to send two teams of men and horses to test the enemy's strength, while our side mainly marched to preserve its strength.
Chu Daming took the initiative to ask Ying, Chen Geng knew his record, and asked him to let go and do a big job, without any worries.
The brigade commander's words reached Chu Daming's heart, he was never willing to wait for the fighter, and it was his ability to strike first.
After carefully surveying the local terrain conditions, Chu Daming led his troops to march quickly overnight to the road where the enemy army must pass to ambush.
Since the enemy wants to surprise us, we will be faster than them and take the enemy by surprise.
Coincidentally, when Chu Daming was rushing with his troops at night, he happened to bump into a group of Japanese soldiers who were resting.
He ordered the fighters to keep quiet and act immediately.
A few hours later, everyone laughed as they listened to the sound of bombs behind them.
The two armies had not yet come to face each other, and the battle had already begun.
When the enemy troops in the rear heard that the advance troops had suffered such heavy losses, they did not dare to act rashly for a while, and after several attempts, they began to concentrate their firepower to clear the obstacles to their advance.
Chu Daming always stuck to the front line of the battlefield, buying more time for our army to continue to advance, and did not join the large army until Chen Geng ordered a retreat.
Since the 20th Regiment always rushed to the forefront on the battlefield, the casualties in the team were large, and once the troops were replenished, most of them were sent to the 20th Regiment.
However, on the run-in between recruits and veterans, how should Chu Daming, as the regiment commander, adjust and train?
He gave a perfect score.
Chu Daming's future batch of recruits formed a new company alone, trained with them, ate and slept together every day, and soon mingled with the recruits and established their own prestige.
Seeing that the regiment commander was very easy-going, a recruit took the initiative to ask: "Regiment commander, did you really deduct the enemy's eyeballs with your bare hands?"
Chu Daming laughed and said, "Yes, my front teeth have been broken off, let you see you next time." ”
Everyone cheered instantly, and they all geared up, eager to fight the enemy.
The fighters are practicing assassination
When it was time to actually fight, Chu Daming dismantled this group of recruits and redistributed them to various teams.
Experienced veterans combined with brave recruits are a great addition. Soon, they fought one beautiful battle after another.
In order to thank him, the local people spontaneously made a pennant for him and sent it to him.
Unexpected marriage
In 1946, Zhou Yu, accompanied by the director of the County Women's Rescue Association, came to the brigade station, and she came to marry Chu Daming this time.
After learning the purpose of the two, the brigade headquarters was very surprised, and after arranging for the two to stay, they immediately reported the matter to Commander Chen Geng.
Chen Geng naturally agreed to this marriage, and said to Zhou Xihan with a smile: "This kid, when did you open your mind." ”
Soon, the news that Deputy Brigade Commander Chu was going to get married spread throughout the brigade, and some villagers also came to say goodbye.
Chu Daming, who had just returned to the army after a training session, had not yet figured out what was going on, so he was brought to Zhou Yu by Zhou Xihan.
Looking at Zhou Yu's shy expression and everyone's beaming demeanor, Chu Daming knew that there might be a misunderstanding.
He immediately made a decision, looked at Zhou Yu, and asked again, "Aren't you afraid of being a widow?"
Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what Chu Daming meant, but Zhou Yu laughed instead, she said:
"I'm not afraid, I'm willing to stay with you all the time, now only you are my backer. ”
Chen Geng
It turned out that Zhou Yu's mother died of illness last year, and the pain in her heart was difficult to dissolve, so she could only find Chu Daming to tell.
Chu Daming listened to her quietly for an afternoon, thinking that he was about to go to fight elsewhere with the army, and he was afraid that he would no longer be able to take care of her, so he left all his allowances to her.
After the director of the County Women's Rescue Association knew about this, she helped Zhou Yu analyze it, and she smiled:
"Head Chu has already acquiesced that you are his fiancée, otherwise how could he hand over his entire net worth to you. ”
Zhou Yu was also pleasantly surprised, and then nodded happily.
In this way, it was not until the brigade headquarters was re-stationed nearby that Zhou Yu mustered up the courage to come to Chu Daming.
And Chu Daming was also stunned when he heard Zhou Yu's answer, this was the first time someone said this to himself.
At present, everyone knows that Zhou Yu is going to marry him, if he doesn't agree at this time, where will he put the reputation of the girl.
Chu Daming has known Zhou Yu for so long, and he also has a good impression of her, seeing her answer like this, his heart moved, and he couldn't help but look forward to the future of the two.
Soon, the two got married with everyone's blessing.
Who would have thought that such a thing would happen on the third day of marriage.
epilogue
The reason is that after the two get married, Zhou Yu will inevitably have a vision for the future and tell Chu Daming his thoughts.
Chu Daming didn't think there was anything wrong, but after listening to Zhou Yu talk about the peaceful life of male farmers and female weavers a few times, he suddenly woke up, this is dragging down the war!
No wonder so many soldiers who have families are reluctant to return to the battlefield, and they are indulging in gentle township.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel angry and bloody, jumped up, took out his spear and aimed it at Zhou Yu.
Then, things evolved into the opening scene, and when he reacted, he didn't know how to end.
Fortunately, Zhou Yu was not angry with him because of this, and Chu Daming was also very distressed after seeing her crying and swollen eyes.
After the two talked, Zhou Yu could also understand his thoughts, and went to the women's university of the brigade to study.
Indeed, the country is in a time of crisis, first there is a country and then a home, if the soldiers refuse to return to the army after they get married, then can our country have a future?
In 1947, in order to protect his comrades in the Battle of Fenxiao, Chu Daming was hit by four bullets in the chest and died heroically.
He dedicated his life to the motherland and is a hero that we will always remember.
