In February 1979, China made a decision to "fight back" against Vietnam's repeated offenses. Under the leadership of General Xu Shiyou, the People's Liberation Army made a quick decision and spent 28 days to attack the Vietnamese army. However, this was only the first part of the counterattack against Vietnam, and the border between the two countries continued to smoke for more than a decade.
China has never allowed an inch of territory to be violated, let alone laoshan, which is located in the throat between China and Vietnam. On April 28, 1984, the People's Liberation Army finally sounded the clarion call to recover Laoshan and ZiyinShan.
After 18 days of bloody fighting, our army successfully recovered the "two mountains." But Vietnam is still not dead hearted, constantly sneaking into the forward positions. Therefore, in order to hold on to Laoshan, the People's Liberation Army copied the "cat ear hole" type fortifications that had severely damaged the invading Japanese army in the anti-Japanese battlefield and also played an important role in the liberation war.
This kind of military fortification is, in short, a kind of cave that can be dug and perched by attaching itself to a trench, slope or hill. The advantage is that it is more suitable for the cold season, because the temperature inside the cave is much higher than that outside the cave, and the minimum temperature difference is about 10 degrees, and the higher can be 20 degrees. But during the hot season, cat ear piercings become the most uncomfortable shelter.
The area around Laoshan is not only high in temperature, but also high in humidity, which is a typical subtropical climate. And in order to better conceal, the holes dug by our army are deeper and narrower than before. That is to say, the cat ear holes in the old mountain battlefield will be stuffy and wet in the summer.
People have long expected that in a humid, dark environment, it will be very easy to get sick, the most direct is dermatitis, eczema. It also grows in some private parts, making it difficult for warriors to talk about. It can be said that at that time, as long as they stayed in the cat ear hole for a long time, almost all of them suffered from "rotten crotch disease" or light.
Wang Xiaohua was a female military doctor who was one of the heroes who voluntarily submitted an application to go to the front line after the Laoshan Reconquest War began. Like other female soldiers, she bravely ran through the rain of bullets and bullets with her weak body and composed a touching hymn of heroes and children.

As a woman, she has more delicacy, and at that time she was already a mother, so after going to the front line, Wang Xiaohua not only took it as her duty and responsibility to see a doctor and save people, but also changed into a big sister who was close to her heart and paid attention to the mental health of the soldiers. The warriors liked her very much and called her "big sister".
However, despite this, the warriors still had difficulty in talking about the pain in the private parts. Many people are unwilling to say the pain, so that the pain from the beginning of the itch, gradually developed to sit restless, legs standing side by side and standing are difficult. What's more, the skin in the diseased area has festered, the oozing yellow pus will stick to the top of the pants, and when the pants are taken off, the already festering skin will be pulled down... In short, it is extremely uncomfortable.
This is also why at that time, in many position news, most of the soldiers hiding in the cat's ear hole were naked, and only a piece of clothing was tied around the waist to cover the private parts.
Wang Xiaohua learned from other people that many soldiers were suffering from the disease, although the supplies were also equipped with medicine kits, but the effect was not ideal, she personally ran to the cat ear hole to show the soldiers the "rotten crotch disease". But still received a large number of rejections, the warriors have been dragging the clothes and pants that they do not know how long to wear, and they have long been dirty and smelly, and they just want to apply some ointment.
Wang Xiaohua looked at this scene and his heart was full of pain, so he said firmly: "I am your eldest sister, what am I afraid of?" I don't see how to cure the disease? ”

Even if the warriors go to the battlefield, they are all iron bones, not afraid of suffering, not afraid of tiredness, not afraid of blood and sacrifice, but even the strongest people will have a soft place in their hearts. It was also because of Wang Xiaohua's words that the soldiers were deeply moved and slowly put down their shyness and accepted treatment.
At that time, a young warrior who was less than 20 years old wrote her into a family letter after meeting Wang Xiaohua. He said that now he will no longer be afraid of injury and illness, because there is a good sister in the hospital, who is shrewd in medicine and will be very patient to take care of everyone, so let his parents stop worrying. It can be seen how grateful the warriors are to Wang Xiaohua.
Of course, this is only part of the many moving chapters between medical care and warriors on the Laoshan battlefield, and there are more medical care silently paid at that time. For example, Liu Yaling, the goddess of the position who originally applied to go to the front line after the application to go to the front line in the rear hospital was rejected, and when the leader gave way back, she bluntly said that "unless I carry my body back"; for example, the "Laoshan Ten Sisters Ambulance Team" who went deep into the front line and went back to the battlefield several times to rescue the wounded and sick.

In China, the battlefield is no longer a forbidden place for women, and they even have some advantages that male soldiers just don't have. Looking back at thousands of years of Chinese civilization, there are countless admirable heroes. China's heroes have never had anything to do with birth, age, and gender. Therefore, it is not unreasonable that a country can stand for thousands of years, and the culture is still brilliant, and even the piles and pieces have traces to follow.
