In that era of gunpowder, there was such a story, which was not as fictional as a movie script, but it was more thrilling than a movie. One day in 1986, the sun was shining on the shoulders of a soldier who was about to embark on a journey, and the atmosphere in the barracks was so solemn that it could wring out water.
The army commander, the big man who is usually so majestic that people dare not look at it directly, made an exception and took out the treasured Moutai, personally poured a cup, and handed it to the soldier, his eyes were full of reluctance and admiration. Is this picture more weighty than any magnificent wine? Not far behind, the division commander took off his battle number, which symbolized honor, and solemnly hung it on the soldier's chest, his movements full of pity.
The whole army sighed, as if bidding farewell to a relative who was about to travel far away. However, what about this warrior? He just smiled indifferently, as if there was not a heavy number hanging on his chest, but an ordinary small object.
The story takes place at the end of 1985, the competition for the land of Laoshan is not only a battle of bullets, but also a contest of will and perseverance. 211 Heights, an inconspicuous hill, has become the focus of contention between the two armies.
Why? Because mastering it is equivalent to pinching the opponent's lifeline, which can block the road, cut off food, and make the enemy fall into passivity. This is like a game of chess, and 211 Heights is the key "rook". And the intensity of this battle is not an exaggeration to say that it is a modern version of "Shangganling", and every participant is a warrior dancing on a tightrope.
Then, there was such a squad leader named Xing Zhiqiang, facing an almost impossible task, he did not frown, but smiled lightly, and said: "I am the squad leader, or a party member, who am I not on?" This is easy to say, but behind it is a thousand pounds of responsibility and determination.
The people around him, looking at him, were like looking at a flag, and the fire in their hearts was also ignited, and they were scrambling to join the ranks of this "death". Isn't this scene like a strong man in ancient times who went out on an expedition and died generously?
The army commander's wine, the division commander's number, and the passionate send-off are all like crowns crowning Xing Zhiqiang, but the road taken by this "king" is more difficult than anyone else's. Outpost 211 Highlands, what is that concept? That is the target that sticks out the neck for the family to cut, and as soon as the enemy fires, the first thing to bear the brunt of it is there.
What's more, this outpost is actually a crack, yes, a crack in the stone! The two of them had to rub their noses against each other when they squeezed in, not to mention they had to hold their positions. Bake eggs on sunny days and take a bath on rainy days, this treatment is simply a VIP-level "enjoyment".
Xing Zhiqiang
Xing Zhiqiang and his friends are in this environment, fighting wits and courage against the mosquito army, fighting against moisture, and fighting against loneliness. You say, isn't this more exciting than "Survival in the Wild"? And when two comrades-in-arms were injured and the military order asked him to retreat, he said: "I have experience, and if I change someone else, the price will be greater." "This stubbornness makes people feel distressed and admired.
In this way, Xing Zhiqiang persisted for 117 days and nights, but he did not move his nest, and proved with his actions what is the "first soldier in Laoshan".
At the end of the war, he was wounded, did not ask the state for a penny, turned into a worker, and squeezed out a part of his meager salary every month to donate to the families of those martyrs. Whenever someone asks him, "Do you regret it?" He always shook his head with a smile, and there was a sentence hidden in that smile: "Being able to do something small for the country is worth more than anything." ”
Xing Zhiqiang's story, isn't it a living hero template? He made us think, what can we do for this country in times of peace? It's time to put down your phone and look up at the world, maybe everyone can find their own "211 Heights". We can be our own heroes, can't we?
