At this time, Ye Feng looks at old man Zhang and is a little frightened. He has these three medals at the same time. Is this old man a legendary founding father.
We should know that these four medals, in addition to the first class meritorious service of the group, were awarded to the three medals of August 1, freedom and independence, and liberation at the same time, but they were all major generals or above in the early days of the founding of the people's Republic of China, and they were all big figures enough to be written in history books?
"At the same time, of course, only the more than 100 generals were awarded, but many of them were awarded separately!"
Mr. Zhang laughed at him, pointed to the four medals and explained: "this August 1st medal belongs to me, and the medal of freedom and independence belongs to our team leader at that time. He has no family, so he can only be led by me.
The first-class Liberation Medal belongs to our teacher. When he first came to Yida to express his sympathy, he sent someone to give it to me to keep it. The first-class merit of the group belongs to our whole platoon. "
After hearing Zhang's explanation, Ye Feng was a little relieved, but anyway, it was a great and heavy honor. It can be said that there is no such medal now, and few people have even seen it, but it represents the highest honor of soldiers in that era.
Zhang old man will dress, Ye Feng help him with the medal, with Zhao Rui left and right respectfully helped him to the podium.
When the audience saw the old man who was invited by Ye Feng and Zhao Rui, they were surprised.
This is what kind of big man, unexpectedly let Ye Feng this East China Sea King line junior ceremony, is a certain emperor to big man?
And the military training instructor sitting on the side of the stage glared when he saw the old man's simple military dress and the four military medals flashing with historical seals on his chest.
"All rise!"
The instructor stood up suddenly and began to shout.
Hearing this, the military trainers behind him stood up in a neat moment, staring at the platform with bright eyes.
"Hail to the hero!" The instructor raised his hand to salute.
"Hail to the hero!"
At the same time, the trainers behind them raised their right hands to pay high respect to the old Red Army predecessors.
Those who had been soldiers also held their chests high and saluted the heroes on the platform as veterans.
At this time, Uncle Zhang also stood up, meticulously saluted the people in front of him.
At this time, he was like a stone statue with historical traces, representing the soldiers who came slowly from that era.
Some people were whispering after Uncle Zhang came on the stage, but the students on the playground were surprised and speechless when they saw the crowd.
"Students, my name is Zhang Rongjun, I think many of the students present know me!"
After the ceremony, Mr. Zhang stood alone on the platform in front of him. Looking at the new student, he said slowly, "I am eighty-four years old today. I have been a doorman in Yida for forty years. Now I have reached the last stage of my life."
Listen to Mr. Zhang's words, the people on the field looked at each other and then calmed down.
Although I don't know the identity of the old man, looking at his white old-fashioned dress, I feel a little dignified.
"You are the rising sun of the new generation, but I am about to end. Looking at your young appearance, it is impossible to say that you are not envious!"
Looking at the young man in front of him, Uncle Zhang steadied himself and said, "I still remember that when I was your age, or younger than you, I joined the army and went to the battlefield.
At that time, I didn't know what to do when I joined the army. I knew that I could fight devils and avenge the 368 people in our village. At that time, the little devils were inhumane,
our village had Zhang Rongjun. It can be said that I had no father, no mother, no son, no daughter, no sister, no sister, no brother and no brother. So I didn't worry about it. I just fought hard, just like my leader said If we meet in a narrow road, the brave will win
At this point, people on the platform generally know what Mr. Zhang does.
He said slowly: "seventy years ago, I followed the whole platoon of thirty-two people in our regiment from the North all the way here. It was here that we accepted a task.
I heard from my superiors that there used to be a devil's artillery position here. The counterattack of our whole regiment was contained by this artillery position, and hundreds of people died and injured almost every day. At that time, there was a time limit for the task attack. If we couldn't reach the specified place at the specified time, we would be incompetent, deserting and punished.
At that time, our regimental commander was at a loss. Later, I volunteered to say that if the regimental commander asked us to platoon, we would definitely destroy this artillery position.
At that time, the team leader asked me if I had any confidence. I laughed and said, "if we can't get rid of it, no one in our platoon will come back alive."
At this point, Mr. Zhang suddenly closed his mouth, his lips trembled, his eyes seemed to penetrate the time and space, back to the war years and days.
"At that time, we knew very little about this artillery position. We only knew that there was a place, how many people did not know, what weapons and equipment we did not know, and what dangers we would encounter.At that time, there was only one thought, that is, to get rid of the artillery position and let the whole regiment rush to kill the devils.
That night, when we entered the position in the dark, the place was still a green forest. At that time, the little devil's artillery position was in the place where you are now teaching building, and we were lurking in the dormitory building behind me. "
Uncle Zhang pointed to the teaching building nearby and the dormitory not far away. The meeting between the two places was less than 100 meters.
"At that time, the weather was dark, and nothing could be seen in the dark. We didn't dare to make a sound, so we had to grope slowly.
I thought I had to grope for a long time, until a young man in the platoon was hungry and suddenly smelled the smell of fried rice on the opposite position, we found their artillery position.
At that time, when the whole platoon came over, we saw that these people were still firing guns. Thinking of the comrades who suffered heavy casualties because of these guns these days, we were all red eyed. After we were ready, we had a charge against the enemy. "
Speaking of this, the old man's tone was full of blood, but it was followed by a bitter smile.
"I know, you may think that like those people in the TV series, we will fight against one hundred in the hail of bullets, take up the machine guns and kill them all with no effort, and usher in victory.
But I want to tell you that victory is also cruel on the battlefield, because at that time, our weapons and physical quality were far behind those aggressors.
At that time, there were only two machine guns and 400 bullets for more than 100 people in our company. Moreover, the soldiers did not shoot much and practiced. They were still farming at home yesterday, and today they are going to fight for their lives.
Not only did we have no food, no clothes, no hunger, and even for a long time, the army could not do a single gun, and could only take advantage of the night to fight with the enemy.
Some people say that the Red Army's night attack and white-edged battle are fierce. In fact, they are not. Because we are not the opponents of these well-equipped devils in the daytime, we have no choice but to work hard at night.
Because at that time, human life was the least valuable.
I remember that our charge started very quickly at that time, but we soon found that there was an integrated artillery battalion stationed here at that time, and the guard force was two platoons, which was twice as many as ours.
moreover, they were well-equipped, and even had a lot of gunners with their own weapons and ammunition. No matter the number, equipment and quality of war, they crushed me There are 32 people in this row.
You know, in that environment at that time, an ambush was an elite German mechanic, a beautiful mechanic, and it was unlikely that they would be one-to-one with the devils.
Therefore, within a few minutes from the launch of the charge, our charge began to be suppressed. After all, a cavity of blood couldn't resist the bullets from the muzzle. However, we finally found the enemy's ammunition depot by mistake.
At the last moment, someone detonated the shells in the warehouse, and the sound of the explosion broke the area to pieces, and I was swept out by the air waves.
When I woke up, I was on the stretcher of my comrades. Later, I learned that because there was a deep pit in the place where I was hiding, I was lucky to survive. The rest of the 31 people in the platoon died for the country.
I remember, I was just 14 years old.
