A famous Japanese netizen once asked, if China is invaded by Japan again, will the Chinese stay and fight for the motherland?
When I saw the comment area, I became excited, and I couldn't imagine what price a Japanese invader would be fired by scalpers at that time!
After all, with such a contribution, who can refuse the "temptation" of opening a single page of genealogy?
However, the editor accidentally brushed up on a first-class hero in wartime, who was wounded in the defensive war against Vietnam, but quietly returned to his hometown to farm for decades, and even the younger generations and fellow villagers in the family knew what kind of contributions he had made.
If it weren't for a piece of clothing, I think this hero might have walked into the loess with a military medal in the future.
Zhang Zuolin?
In the video, this peasant man with an honest face full of vicissitudes is one of the lucky few lucky people who stand and pick up this honor.
But such a glorious thing was well hidden by him, and as far as the local residents knew, he rarely mentioned his honor, and his neighbors didn't even know about it, and even the younger generations knew very little.
And the name Zhang Zuolin should not actually be Zhang Zuolin but Zhang Zuolin.
Information source: Douyin blogger "Jiurier".
It turned out that I searched the whole network and found the only piece of information about him, the name is written by Zhang Zuolin, our hero did not leave a thousand years of fame as imagined, and the world only knows him with a few short lines of text and a miswritten name.
From the video of the self-media blogger Jiuri'er, we learned that this old hero was reluctant to talk about the past at first, and if it wasn't for the "bribe" with a piece of clothing, we might not be able to see it.
And this dress is the most popular generation of military uniforms of the Chinese army, green military uniforms, red collar badges - 65-style military uniforms.
In this war, he was assigned to the No. 1 post of the Laoshan 211 position, which was the forefront of the front-line position, and the distance from the enemy's position was only a dozen meters.
For the enemy, Sentry 1 may be the beginning of all things, and this Sentry Point is not only important for its geographical location, but also for its very different significance.
Once this outpost is lost, Laoshan will be in danger, and it will be a big blow to the morale of the whole army.
As far as Zhang Zuolin is concerned, he only has one firm belief to protect the people behind him.
He said: "Once this mountain is lost, many people will die." ”
As you can see from the video, his eyes are glowing as he speaks of this. He was a new fighter at the time, but he wasn't timid, and he didn't have any other ideas.
Heroes fight, history has no halo
In this way, Zhang Zuolin, who had been in the army for three months, held the position together with another seriously injured comrade-in-arms and the remains of three comrades-in-arms who had died heroically. In that period of shortage of war materials, they only relied on perseverance to persevere, and these days the enemy never gave up counterattacks and sneak attacks.
On the 4th day of Zhang Zuolin's arduous resistance, the god of luck did not continue to favor him, and Zhang Zuolin was injured by the bomb and lost his sight.
The battle was raging in front of him, and he was in danger, but he said: "I can't see clearly with my eyes, and I still have ears, where is there movement."
Fortunately, with the support of the troops, Zhang Zuolin arrived at the battlefield after holding out for another day, and under the cover of the fire of the large army, he and his seriously injured comrades climbed for more than two hours in a short distance of 200 meters.
Later, he saved his eyes due to timely treatment, but after recovery, he returned to the rural fields.
But the comrades-in-arms who accompanied him to stick to the position and the heavy memory have never been forgotten, but they have not been mentioned for a long time. After all, no one can grasp the script of life in advance, and they don't have the halo of the protagonist on their heads.
The blogger took Zhang Zuolin to the martyrs' cemetery, and they went to visit the soldiers who died at the No. 1 post at that time, and he said: "When he died, he was only 19 years old."
And the first-class merit of this hero is not taken by himself, but by his family, which is also a true portrayal of many heroes: third-class merit is taken standing up, second-class merit is taken lying down, and first-class merit is taken by family members.
Covered in medals, the horn of the charge
Some people say that Zhang Zuolin is not a hero, if netizens comment like this, he must inevitably suffer a "civilized" baptism, but the person who said this sentence is himself. He said: "It is the responsibility to protect the family and defend the country, he said that the real hero is to sacrifice his life for the country, and he said that only such people can be called heroes." ”
But in the eyes of the public, his low-key, his cognition is a concrete expression of this sentence - the hearts of heroes are the appearance of heroes!
Today's peaceful and prosperous era is established by the exploits of one hero after another, and the spirit engraved in their bones is the integrity that contemporary young people should learn and adhere to. Fortunately, their exploits have never been overlooked, whether it is the honor they wear on their uniforms or the scars on their bodies.
At this point, the sound of a charging horn sounded in my mind, and some people wondered what the reappearance of the horn meant for these veterans.
Perhaps that special meaning can only be felt by the comrades-in-arms who have carried the gun together, it is a feeling that cannot be described in words, it is the grandeur of the hot-blooded young people fighting for the country, and it is a tribute to the predecessors of the comrades-in-arms.
It is very complex and even abstract in the eyes of you who were born in peacetime, but in the eyes of veterans it is a memory, a concrete engraved in the depths of the soul.
If you have to find an example, you can probably only think of the nostalgia and sorrow of hearing the campus bell again after a few years of social struggle, but this sadness is too simple and too small in comparison
All our young people are respectful, all thanks, and all are of the same heart!
