One year before the Spring Festival, the General Office of the Xi'an Municipal Party Committee called me **, saying that the commander and political commissar of a certain group army had come to Xi'an. The city leaders held a banquet and invited me and the secretary general of the municipal party committee to accompany me.
At 17:30 in the afternoon, I went to meet him in advance. No one expected that the happy conversation before the banquet was made angry by a topic of participating in the war.
The first topic: "Is it fun to fight?".”。
After I saluted and shook hands with the army commander and political commissar, we all sat down and talked together. Secretary X came to me and said kindly, "Uncle Ji, my dad asked me to say hello to you on his behalf", and I said, "Thank you!".”。He also said that my girlfriend wanted to ask, "Is it fun for you to fight?"I said, "It's not fun, you were young at the time, you were still in kindergarten, playing games, sitting on the slide, that's called playing." We are fighting guns, ** dealing with death, that's called playing with life. ”
The second topic: "When the war is fought, the head of the regiment and above can get valuable condolences."
Director X listened to the topic of war and said to me: "Hello old chief!I heard that when there is a war, the local government often offers condolences, and the leaders above your regiment can get a lot of valuable condolences”。Without thinking, I told him that in those days, the economic conditions were poor, and the condolences were mainly condolence letters, which were insoles, tea jars, handkerchiefs, vests, undershirts, towels, cigarettes, etc., and the most expensive was the towel quilt, which was not more than one or two yuan, how could there be anything valuable. In addition, the number of condolences is not very large each time, and there are more than 2,000 people in a regiment, and even the front-line officers and soldiers are not enoughAfter hearing this, everyone smiled and said that rumors had spread in the past.
The third topic: "Leaders at all levels still care very much about the combatants. ”
The army commander said that when Political Commissar Ji went to Xi'an to take up his post, he might be stronger than the deputy army. I smiled and said: "I don't have as much salary as the deputy army, I don't have the rank of deputy army high, and the treatment is not as good as the deputy army”。
The political commissar said that Political Commissar Ji is our old chief, who has fought in battles, been wounded, and made meritorious contributions, and is also a pacesetter. I said, "Thank you then!".”。However, I have a different opinion on the statement that the group army cares for the cadres participating in the war. Two examples were given: One was that the division fought against Vietnam, and only about one-thirtieth of them reached military ranks. Most of the others changed jobs, and a few were promoted. Another example is the 8th Company of the 184th Regiment, "3 18 battles", which lost 20 people a day. Company commander Yuan Hui was wounded and disabled, and the battalion cadre was transferred to another job. The instructor died honorably, and was awarded the honorary title by the ** Military Commission. Succeeded as company commander Deng Lin, in 1979 and 1985, he participated in the war twice and made meritorious contributions, and the battalion cadre was transferred to another job, and died young. Instructor Xu Shiping, second-class combat merit, second-class disabled, promoted to deputy battalion division disagreed, and said that I went through the back door for the people of northern Shaanxi, and finally demobilized without a job, relying on part-time work and receiving disability money to live. The conscience of individual chiefs has long been eaten by dogs. After everyone listened, the audience was speechless.
