What do the two buttons on the hat of the Eighth Route Army do? After reading it, I found that it was very clever
In the smoke of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the Eighth Route Army composed magnificent epics for the country and the nation with tenacious perseverance and tenacious will. And in this heroic team, there is a seemingly insignificant detail, but it contains profound meaning and wisdom - that is, the two buttons on the hat of the Eighth Route Army.
The protagonist of the story, we call him Li Qiang, an ordinary soldier of the Eighth Route Army. He came from a small town in North China, and with his love for the country and the nation, he resolutely joined the Eighth Route Army. When he first put on the uniform of the Eighth Route Army and put on the hat with two buttons, he didn't pay much attention to the role of these two buttons, but just treated them as ordinary decorations.
However, as the war deepened, Li Qiang gradually discovered the special features of these two buckles. During a reconnaissance mission, he made his way through the dense jungle, and the two buckles on the brim of his hat were tightly fastened, so that the hat was firmly fixed on his head, and even under the rapid running and scratching of the branches, the hat never moved. This made him realize that these two buttons are not simple decorations, but have a practical effect.
With the observation and thinking of these two buckles, Li Qiang found that their design is very ingenious. These two buttons are located on both sides of the brim, and the tightness of the buttons can be adjusted to adapt to the size of the head circumference of different fighters. In this way, regardless of the size of the fighter's head circumference, the hat can fit snugly on the head, which not only ensures comfort, but also enhances the stability of the hat.
In addition to stabilizing the role of the hat, Li Qiang also found that the two buttons had an unexpected effect in battle. In a fierce battle, Li Qiang's squad was surrounded by the enemy. In the fierce firefight, a stray bullet hit Li Qiang's hat, hitting a button on the brim. Due to the sturdiness and tightness of the clasp, the hat was not penetrated, but dispersed the impact of the stray bullet, protecting Li Qiang's head. This discovery made Li Qiang have a deeper affection for these two buttons.
However, the role of these two buckles does not stop there. Li Qiang also discovered that by unbuttoning the two buttons, the fighters could fold the sides of their hats inward to form a temporary protective mask. In windy and sand or gunsmoke-filled environments, this mask can effectively protect the eyes, mouth and nose of the soldiers, and reduce the irritation of the respiratory tract from dust and smoke.
As time passed, Li Qiang's understanding of these two buckles became deeper and deeper. He began to realize that these two buttons not only represent the wisdom and courage of the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, but also represent their loyalty and responsibility to the country and the nation. Although the design of these two buckles is simple, it contains profound meaning and value.
However, the cruelty and ruthlessness of war also made Li Qiang deeply appreciate the fragility and preciousness of life. In one of the battles, his comrades were wounded by a hit in their hats and died in the end. This incident made Li Qiang realize more deeply that although these two buckles can protect the lives of the soldiers to a certain extent, the cruelty of war cannot be completely resisted by anything.
This experience made Li Qiang fall into deep thought. He began to reflect on the meaning and value of war, thinking about how to reduce the loss of life while defending the country. He realized that true victory was not only about defeating the enemy, but also about protecting people's lives and property. Therefore, he cherished his own life and the lives of his comrades even more, and threw himself into battle even harder.
In the years of the Anti-Japanese War, Li Qiang and his comrades-in-arms used this hat with two buttons to bravely kill the enemy and defend the country on the battlefield. They used their flesh and blood to build impregnable lines of defense and won precious victories for the country and the people. And the two buttons on this hat have become eternal pride and memories in their hearts.
Now, when we look back on those arduous years, we can't help but praise those heroic soldiers of the Eighth Route Army. They used their lives and blood to compose magnificent hymns. And in this hymn, the hat with two buttons becomes one of the indispensable elements. It has witnessed the bravery and wisdom of the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, as well as their tenacity and responsibility.
So, what exactly is the purpose of the two buttons on the hat of the Eighth Route Army? They not only enhance the stability and practicality of the hat, but also have a variety of functions such as protection and identification. More importantly, they represent the spiritual outlook and fighting spirit of the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army. This spirit will always inspire us to strive for the prosperity and strength of our country and nation.
However, we should also be aware that the cruelty and ruthlessness of war cannot be completely resisted by anything. Therefore, we should cherish peace, oppose war, and use our wisdom and courage to create a better future. At the same time, we should also remember those heroes who made great sacrifices for the country and the nation, inherit their spiritual outlook and fighting spirit, and contribute their own strength to the prosperity of the country and the rejuvenation of the nation.
