9 a.m., Sanhe Martyrs Cemetery, Linghai Economic and Technological Development Zone.

This year marks the 50th anniversary of the victory of the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea. Binjiang Entry-Exit Border Inspection Station organized officers and soldiers to hold activities at the Sanhe Martyrs Cemetery to commemorate the event.

It is not important whether there are martyrs who died in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea buried in the cemetery. What is important is to carry out patriotism education. However, the element of resisting U.S. aggression and aiding Korea cannot be eliminated. The newly appointed political commissar Song decided to invite an old senior who participated in resisting U.S. aggression and aiding Korea to give a good lecture to the officers and soldiers.

The first thing Chief of Staff Li Jun thought of was Xiaoyu's grandfather, Lao Qian, and suggested that the political commissar invite Lao Qian to speak.

The stationmaster also believed that it was better to invite outsiders than to invite his own people, so Lao Qian put on an old-fashioned military uniform, an old-fashioned military cap, and a military medal and commemorative medal on his chest, and was taken to Sanhe from Bailong Port by Li Jun.

When Lao Qian was in the army, he was just an ordinary soldier. When he retired and returned to Linghai, he was just an employee cooking in a supply and marketing cooperative. He is neither a cadre nor a leader.

In recent years, only when Sichang Town held a meeting related to old party members and veterans, he was notified to go there, and every time he went, he was arranged at the back and applauded along with others. He had no chance to stand on stage, let alone receive the recognition today. Such courtesy.

Just because today is Lao Qian's "highlight moment", Han Gong and Director Xiang came with Xiao Hanhan, and Han Xiangning and Lin Yuzhen also hurried over. Lao Liang and his wife brought the SARS epidemic under control, and the Internet cafe was able to operate normally. It is impossible to make money in Sichang Town.

Xiaoyu came here on leave. He had to attend today's occasion. Not only did he want to cheer up his grandpa, but he also wanted to take a few more photos as a souvenir.

The venue is not at the Martyrs Cemetery, but in the large conference room on the third floor of the Linghai Reserve Camp.

Lao Qian was the protagonist for the first time, so he was both nervous and excited. After all, the border inspection station is a regiment-level unit, and the head of the regiment-level unit invited him to speak. It was really a respect for him!

As soon as he entered the venue, he was greeted with thunderous applause.

A young and beautiful female lieutenant even gave the old man a bouquet of flowers. The old man was so moved and grateful that he held the flowers in his left hand and raised his right hand to salute the officers and soldiers.

Considering that his Mandarin was not very standard and the officers and soldiers might not be able to understand it, and Xiaoyu's Mandarin was not much better, Li Jun specially invited Liu Degui, the administrator of the Linghai Reserve Battalion who had participated in the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam, to come on stage as a "translator" ", and helped explain some military knowledge that officers and soldiers may not understand from a professional perspective.

Lao Qian quickly got into the mood as he talked. He was very excited when he talked about the time when people all over the country united to support the war against U.S. aggression and aid Korea, and young people of appropriate age enthusiastically joined the army. When I talked about encountering an air raid by enemy planes after entering the DPRK, I burst into tears when most of a company was sacrificed in the blink of an eye under the indiscriminate bombardment of four enemy planes...

The officers and soldiers were deeply moved, and many cried while listening.

The event was a success. After the speech, many people came to the stage to take photos with the old man.

Li Jun did not follow him. He smoked with Liu Degui and said with emotion: "Uncle Liu, you are the translator today, and I will invite you to give the lecture next time. Tell us about the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam and the Laoshan front line." thing!"

"What's there to say?"

"You've all been on the front line, and you've all experienced the rain of bullets!"

"Now we are not even talking about the self-defense and counterattack against Vietnam. Many children don't know where the front line of Laoshan is, let alone what cat's ear holes look like. They are not even allowed to place garlands under the mountains. Is it appropriate to talk about that?" Qian sighed, thought about it and said nonchalantly: "To talk about the Laoshan front line, it would be better to talk about how you fought against the floods in 1998."

They have also fought on the front line, but the relevant departments are not very good to the veterans who have been on the Laoshan front line.

Li Jun could understand Liu Degui's mood and comforted him: "Poverty is not socialism. Now we must focus on economic construction. If we want to do a good job in economic construction, we must have a good international environment. Fight with Vietnam when it is time to fight, and be friendly with Vietnam when it is time." You have to be friendly when talking to others, and it will be understandable if you don’t mention it anymore.”

"Yes, you have to understand."

"But you can tell me, I won't talk nonsense, let alone promote reports."

"Stop making trouble, there's really nothing to talk about."

"Director Liu, tell us." Political Commissar Song heard clearly, walked over and said with a smile: "Director Liu, there is still a while before dinner. Come, go to the office next door to open a small stove for us, and give us a good talk. !”

Just now, Liu Degui acted as a translator for Lao Qian on the stage. Liu Degui was moved and had mixed feelings. Thinking that being idle was idle, he took the two of them to the office next door and told Political Commissar Song and Li Jun about the events of that year. .

"We were different from Uncle Qian when he went to the front line. The troops had not fought in decades, and suddenly we heard that we were going to the front line. If we were going to fight, the first thing we faced was the fear of death!"

"Afraid of death?" Li Jun was surprised.

"Really, I was really scared at the time." Liu Degui didn't think it was embarrassing. He took the cigarette and said: "Some people who had a slight illness were preparing to be hospitalized and wanted to use this as an excuse to avoid participating in the war. Some related people tried their best to mobilize Of course, there are many people who are not afraid, but the fear of death was really serious at that time."

The political commissar of the border inspection station asked curiously: "How did you resolve your fear of death later?"

"To do ideological work, the political commissar organized a one-day meeting for all the political cadres of the regiment to subdivide the entire regiment's officers and soldiers, so that they can carry out targeted work. For example, for the cadre team, rough classification is one type, and there are several subdivisions. There are various types. Cadres who are married, cadres who are not married, cadres who have children, cadres who have no children, cadres who have many brothers, cadres who have only children, cadres who have participated in the war, cadres who have not participated in the war, etc."

Liu Degui paused and continued: "Although they are all cadres, they have common ideas and individual ideas, and they must do their work in different categories. The same is true for soldiers and family members. Our political commissar subdivided cadres, soldiers and family members into eighteen All types of political and ideological work in political and labor unions must be detailed, practical, and targeted, and all ideological issues must be broken into eighteen pieces and then eaten piece by piece!”

"Before we go to the front line, why don't we start fighting an ideological war?"

"We can't do it without fighting, otherwise we'll lose morale and maybe all the people will run away."

Liu Degui changed the subject: "Fortunately, there were two typical members of the regiment at that time. One was Jiang Rui, who had enlisted in the army for the second time, and the other was Song Binguo, who had changed jobs and was assigned to be the vice principal of the Dongqi Party School. They insisted on returning to the army to join the war. , the group seized this opportunity to publicize it, which served as a demonstration and stabilized the thinking of the whole group.”

Li Jun asked in surprise: "Is Song Binguo from Dongqi?"

"There are more than ninety cadres and soldiers from Binjiang in our regiment, mainly from the three counties of Linghai, Dongqi and Dongru. In short, after a week of ideological work, the soldiers changed from being afraid of fighting to being afraid of not being able to fight. The cadres "From worrying about life and death to being worried about not being able to complete the combat missions assigned by superiors on the battlefield, the family members also changed from crying and holding back to enthusiastically supporting their husbands on the front line."

"We have to learn from this ideological work." Political Commissar Song said with emotion.

"But then we encountered a lot of problems. Before, we just said that we would join the war and wait for the order to join the war to be conveyed to each company. Overnight, dozens of soldiers in the whole regiment left without saying goodbye."

"A deserter?"

"They didn't run away from the battle, they just wanted to go back to their hometown to see their parents before the army set off. The longest time they stayed home was two or three days, and the least time was only one day. After taking one look at their parents, they hurried back to the army. Motivation They are innocent and simple-minded, but they have indeed violated disciplines, so we can only criticize and educate them and let them conduct in-depth inspections at military conferences."

Liu Degui knocked the ashes from his cigarette and continued: "The news spread to the homes of the officers and soldiers. Some parents of the officers and soldiers wrote letters and telegrams urging their sons to go home for a visit. They were about to leave, how could they approve the leave? People knew that their sons could not go back, so they all started When I came to visit the army, the whole regiment became enthusiastic about visiting relatives again.

A large number of family members and friends have flowed into the army, and the first problem they face is the difficulty of food and accommodation. But what we were most worried about at the time was not these things, but whether our family and friends would hold us back and be a disservice. Some companies simply issued orders not to allow family members and friends to visit the troops, but with little effect, those who were supposed to come came anyway. "

Li Jun asked: "What happens next?"

"Everyone has come, so we can't drive them back, and that may really be the last time they see their son. The regiment can only make the best of the situation and use the opportunity of family members and friends coming to the army to do ideological work."

Liu Degui thought for a while and said with emotion: "I remember that the regiment made several requirements for us at that time. When the families of officers and soldiers came to the regiment, the main leaders of the unit must meet with them, take the initiative to introduce the situation of the battle in Yunnan, and truthfully report the officers and soldiers' work in the regiment. Act realistically and listen carefully to their opinions and suggestions for the company.

We are required to organize family members to visit the honor room and learn the history of the company and regiment. When the commander comes to inspect the army and the regiment organizes military parades and parades, family members should be organized to watch them together. Some units also invite family members of the team to give reports and provide education through their own experiences. Treat the process of family members and friends coming to the team as a process of educating the troops and their families, thereby stabilizing the troops and educating their families..."

They are both on the battlefield. Comrade Liu and Mr. Qian were really different when they went to the front line.

The political commissar of the border inspection station benefited a lot. He held Liu Degui's hand tightly and said: "Director Liu, in a few days, I will organize a meeting of all political cadres at the station. I will invite you to come and talk about how you did the ideological work of the officers and soldiers back then. !”

Li Jun asked eagerly: "Uncle Liu, do you have any contact with Song Guobin of Dongqi?"

"Yes, he is my old leader, ten years older than me. When I was the deputy company commander, he was the battalion commander. When I was the company commander, he changed careers. Later, he joined the army for the second time and came back to serve as the battalion commander. , went to Laoshan to fight on the front line for two years, and then changed jobs for the second time."

Liu Degui thought for a while and sighed: "You have never met Xianyu's master Xu Sanye, but you must have heard of it. Xu Sanye admired Song Guobin the most at that time and insisted on me introducing him to him. One time he went to the Armed Forces Ministry to pick me up , drive a three-wheeler to Dongqi to find someone."

"Has Xu Sanye met her?"

"We met. They hit it off immediately. Both of them were drunk. I still remember that Xu Sanye held her hand tightly and kept saying that it was too late to meet her. If we had known each other earlier, he could have met her earlier. Go to the army with them so that you can go to the front line with us!"
