In 1950, when I was still an ignorant child, I was abandoned by my parents in a dilapidated village. At that time, there was a shortage of wars, and no one had a hard time. I was so hungry that a procession passed through the village, and I stared at the men in military uniforms with wide eyes, and thought to myself, maybe this was my way out.
After enlisting in the army, I changed my name to Li Tiedan, and after three years of tempering, I grew from a small soldier to a regiment commander. Only I know the ups and downs in between.
On that day, our regiment received an order to go to a hill occupied by the enemy to storm the fortifications. I led my brothers to brave the hail of bullets and bullets to move forward step by step.
"Iron Egg, be careful!" The voice of Deputy Head Zhang Mazi suddenly sounded in my ears.
I subconsciously pounced to the side, and a bullet flew across my cheek, leaving a trail of blood. My eyes widened as I watched the bullet hit the tree, and I felt a palpitation.
"Mazi, don't fucking scream, I haven't married a daughter-in-law yet!" I pretended to scold lightly, but my heart was full of gratitude to Zhang Mazi.
At this moment, the enemy's fire intensified, and our regiment was in a difficult situation. I was anxious, but I also knew that I couldn't be impulsive at this time.
"Tiedan, what should we do?" Zhang Mazi asked me.
I gritted my teeth, glared at the beads of the ball, and said, "We can't just spend it, we have to find a way." ”
My eyes widened, observing the enemy's firing points, and suddenly I had a plan.
"Mazi, you take a team of people to outflank from the left, and I lead a team of people to break through from the right, let's attack from both sides and kill them!" I said through gritted teeth.
Zhang Mazi's eyes widened, hesitated, and nodded: "Okay, just do it!" ”
We split up, and I cautiously touched the right side of the enemy with my team. Less than fifty meters away from the enemy, my eyes widened and I shouted: "Brothers, rush!" ”
We descended like a tiger and pounced on the enemy. The enemy, stunned by our surprise attack, threw down their weapons and surrendered.
In that battle, our regiment won a great victory, capturing a large number of enemy weapons and ammunition. I stared at the victory banner raised on the hill and my heart was filled with pride.
Time flies, and I have grown from a child abandoned by my parents to a regiment leader. Along the way, I have experienced countless hardships and gained countless comrades-in-arms.
Now, I have gray temples, but those passionate years still shine in my heart. I glared and thought back to those years when I fought side by side with my brothers, and my heart was filled with emotion.
This is my story, a legendary journey from orphan to regimental leader. Although I have gone through ups and downs, I have never forgotten my original intention and have always adhered to the post of defending the motherland. To this day, I still have wide eyes as I look at the prosperity of my country, and I am proud that I was once a soldier.
In the days that followed, our regiment repeatedly shuttled through the enemy's positions, and every movement was like dancing on the tip of a knife. That night, the moonlight was cold, and we were given the urgent task of going deep behind enemy lines and destroying a secret enemy headquarters.
"Tie Dan, this mission is dangerous, are you really okay?" Zhang Mazi looked at me worriedly.
I clenched my fists, and a hint of determination flashed in my eyes: "Mazi, we have been through ups and downs for so many years, and we can't back down this time." We have to set an example for our brothers. ”
Zhang Mazi nodded heavily, and a hint of determination flashed in his eyes: "Okay, then let's go together!" ”
We selected a dozen capable fighters and quietly set off in the night. The night breeze is cold, but our hearts burn like a blazing fire. After a night of rapid marching, we finally came to the location of the enemy's headquarters.
"Tiedan, how are we going to fight?" Zhang Mazi asked in a whisper in my ear.
I glanced around and whispered, "Sneak in, try not to alarm the enemy." As soon as you find it, attack it immediately. ”
We cautiously infiltrated the enemy's camp, and just as we were about to approach the target, an enemy suddenly spotted us.
"Who!" The enemy screamed.
"Do it!" I shouted and rushed forward with Zhang Mazi.
It was a short but intense battle, and we took control of the situation with lightning speed. The enemy command was destroyed by us in one fell swoop, and all the enemy became our prisoners.
After the mission was completed, we quickly evacuated. However, the retreat was not peaceful, and the enemy sent a large number of troops in pursuit of us. We fought and retreated, bullets whistling in our ears and artillery fire exploding all around us.
"Tiedan, it's not a way for us to go on like this, we have to find a place to hold on!" Zhang Mazi shouted at me in the midst of a fierce battle.
I widened my eyes and searched around, and finally found a favorable terrain: "That's it, take the brothers over!" ”
Taking advantage of the terrain, we managed to withstand several enemy attacks. That night, as if there was no end, each of us was red-eyed, just to be able to go back alive.
At dawn, reinforcements finally arrived, and we managed to repel the enemy. Although we paid a heavy price in that battle, we all survived.
As the years passed, the smoke of the war gradually dissipated, and Zhang Mazi and I also left the army one after another. But the comradeship between us has never faded, and we often get together and recall the days when we fought side by side.
Today, we are all in the twilight of our lives, but those iron-blooded years are forever engraved in our hearts. Our eyes widened as we watched the young warriors continue to defend our homeland, filled with pride.
This is my story, a legendary journey from orphan to regimental leader. Although time flies, that love and loyalty to the motherland will never change. We widen our eyes to witness the prosperity of our motherland and be proud of being a soldier.
Time flies, and in an instant, Zhang Mazi and I have been retired from the army for many years. Our lives have gradually returned to peace, but those war-torn years are like an unforgettable imprint that can never be erased.
On that day, Zhang Mazi and I made an appointment to come to the battlefield of that year, where it was already a peaceful land, the wheat fields were golden, and the fragrance of rice flowers said that there was a good year. We stood in the place where we had fought to the death, and our hearts were filled with emotion.
"Tiedan, do you remember that night attack behind enemy lines?" A hint of nostalgia flashed in Zhang Mazi's eyes.
I smiled and said with emotion, "How could I forget?" We almost couldn't come back that time. ”
The two of us looked at each other and smiled, as if we were back in the days when we fought side by side. At that time, we lived and died together, for the sake of the country and the people, at all costs.
"Tiedan, you say, is our sacrifice and dedication worth it back then?" Zhang Mazi suddenly asked me seriously.
I was silent for a moment, then said firmly, "It's worth it!" For the peace of the motherland and the tranquility of the people, everything we have paid is worth it! ”
Zhang Mazi nodded, a trace of pride flashed in his eyes: "Yes, we are all heroes of the motherland, and we will always be!" ”
We stood there, reminiscing about the old years of battle, and our hearts were filled with respect and nostalgia. Suddenly, a gust of wind blew and blew up a leaf on the ground, and that leaf danced in the sunlight as if to salute us.
At this moment, a young warrior came in the distance, he looked at us, and a trace of admiration flashed in his eyes: "Two old heroes, hello! I am the guardian of this land, thank you for all you have done for your homeland. ”
Zhang Mazi and I looked at each other and smiled, feeling the respect and inheritance of the new generation of fighters. We understand that although we are old, that patriotic feeling will live on forever.
"Young man, defend our motherland well, she is our mother!" I patted the young warrior on the shoulder and said earnestly.
He nodded firmly: "It will be, old hero, please rest assured!" ”
We said goodbye to the young warrior and continued to wander the battlefield. Every plant and tree here makes us feel familiar and intimate. We stared wide-eyed, looking at this land that was once sprinkled with blood, and our hearts were full of emotion.
This is my story, the story of a veteran. Although the years have made us falter, the love and loyalty to the motherland will never change. We widen our eyes to witness the prosperity of our country, to be proud of being a soldier, and proud of the new generation of warriors who continue to defend this land.
Just as we were immersed in the memories of the past, suddenly, a rapid phone ringing broke the silence. I picked up the phone, and a familiar voice came from the other end.
"Tie Dan, it's me, Lao Wang. Do you remember that mission we did together? ”
My heart shook and I immediately remembered that mission. It was one of the most difficult missions of our time, and we went deep behind enemy lines and managed to destroy an important enemy base. But that mission also cost us a lot, and many of our comrades died in that mission.
"Of course I do, Wang. Is there anything wrong with you? I asked nervously.
"I found some information about that mission, and I think it is necessary for us to remember those comrades who died." There was a hint of heaviness in Lao Wang's voice.
I was silent for a moment, then said, "Okay, let's go together." ”
Zhang Mazi and I immediately set off to join Lao Wang. We came to the mission site, which had become desolate. We stood there, looking at this land that was once sprinkled with blood, and our hearts were full of respect and nostalgia.
We found a few bouquets of flowers and placed them in front of the graves of our fallen comrades. We stood there quietly, reminiscing about the fighting years, and our hearts were full of respect and nostalgia.
"Tiedan, you say, those comrades who sacrificed, will they regret it?" Zhang Mazi asked me suddenly.
I was silent for a moment, then said, "They won't regret it." They sacrificed themselves for the defense of the Motherland and for the peace of the people. They are our heroes and always will be. ”
Zhang Mazi nodded, a trace of pride flashed in his eyes: "Yes, we are all heroes of the motherland, and we will always be!" ”
We stood there, reminiscing about the old years of battle, and our hearts were filled with respect and nostalgia. Suddenly, a gust of wind blew and blew up a leaf on the ground, and that leaf danced in the sunlight as if to salute us.
