"Can I hug you? "The little soldier on the hospital bed pleaded weakly, knowing that his life was coming to an end. Hearing his request, the young ** was slightly stunned, and then she leaned down gently and hugged him tightly.
As soon as she looked down, her lips touched the corner of the little soldier's mouth, and a crystal tear slid down.
In the flames of war, the little soldier Zhao Weijun quietly left in the arms of ** Zhang Ru and slept forever on this land. She was stunned for a moment, and then hugged the little warrior tightly, tears rained down, and the people around her also wept.
The war correspondent had red eyes and recorded the scene with his camera, which he named "Dead Kiss". It was 1986, the second year of the Battle of Lao Shan. Zhang Ru was born in Yangzhou, Jiangsu, gentle, beautiful and generous, inheriting the beautiful character of Jiangnan women.
Her parents are intellectuals and are busy with work all the year round, and Zhang Ru has lived with her grandparents and grandparents since she was a child, forming an independent personality. This childhood experience led her to choose a military career.
Zhang Ru, an ordinary girl, has an extraordinary experience. Her grandfather, a valiant soldier, often told her stories of what he saw on the battlefield. These stories deeply attracted Zhang Ru and made her full of curiosity about the outside world.
As she grew older, Zhang Ru began to have the idea of becoming a soldier. She longs to be like her grandfather, to be able to experience the experience of the army and feel the atmosphere of the battlefield. In 1983, when Zhang Ru was 18 years old, she joined the Xi'an army and became an army health officer.
Zhang Ru likes the atmosphere of the army very much, it is like a big family, everyone is very friendly. Her life is full of warmth and love. However, the political stability did not last long, and a protracted war broke out.
The people of the army are going to the front one after another. In October 1985, when Zhang Ru was 20 years old, she followed the army to the Yunnan border and stayed at the Mangangdong Field Hospital.
It was a dangerous place, but Zhang Ru was not afraid, she stood firmly on the front line, using her knowledge and courage to help the wounded. Zhang Ru's story tells us that everyone has their own dreams and pursuits.
As long as we have determination and courage, we will be able to achieve our dreams. Zhang Ru is a living example, and she proves this with her own actions.
She met Zhao Weijun here and changed her life from then on. This experience is known as the Battle of Lao Son, and for nine years, tens of thousands of compatriots remained forever on the Sino-Vietnamese border. In March 1979, when the war of self-defense against Vietnam ended, people thought that there would be peaceful life on the border.
However, the Vietnamese side never admitted defeat, the war continued, and the people on the border suffered. Unable to bear it any longer, the Battle of Laoshan broke out. However, the cruelty of the war exceeded anyone's imagination, and countless young soldiers went to the battlefield to fight for the people.
According to records, the warriors in the Battle of Laoshan were very young, and many left their precious youth and even their lives at the border. The female ** Zhang Ru and the little soldier Zhao Weijun are like this.
Although Zhang Ru did not have to face the enemy directly on the border front, she had to take on the task of treating the wounded coming down from the battlefield every day, which was undoubtedly a difficult task.
In the hospital, Zhang Ru looked at the batches of wounded people transported from the front line, and her heart was full of anger. However, after the anger, she felt a deep sadness, and what was the future for those young lives who had suffered so badly?
In addition to anger and sadness, Zhang Ru's heart was also full of powerlessness, and she could not remain indifferent to the loss of those fresh lives. The experience hurt her deeply and made her feel like she was supposed to do something about it, but she didn't know where to start.
While treating patients, she endured psychological suffering, and at the same time thought about how she could really help everyone. It wasn't until July 1986 that Zhang Ru met Zhao Weijun, who was on the verge of death.
Seeing that Zhao Weijun was covered in blood, and a group of soldiers had just carried him off the battlefield, Zhang Ru's heart was filled with a deep sense of responsibility and mission.
Zhao Weijun's life was in danger, and he unfortunately stepped on an enemy mine while transporting ammunition, causing his lower body to blur his flesh and blood. The medical staff of the field hospital immediately took action, and in the face of Zhao Weijun's young face, Zhang Ru was heartbroken.
Although amputation is the only option, Zhang Ru can't imagine what the second half of Zhao Weijun's life will be like without a leg. She began to reflect on whether there was any other way to heal him and when the war would end.
Despite this, the pace of ** did not stop, and the doctors quickly prepared for surgery to save Zhao Weijun.
Under the rudimentary conditions of treatment, Zhang Ru recalled the day when Zhao Weijun was placed on a converted operating table at the dining table, and a group of people operated on him. It was a rainy day, the hospital had a power outage, Zhang Ru and his comrades-in-arms used flashlights to illuminate the doctors, and the room was still leaking, and the rain was mixed with blood, and finally the operation was completed with difficulty in the dripping rain.
Soon after the operation, Zhao Weijun woke up, looked at his empty lower body, the light in his eyes gradually dimmed, and finally lowered his head and remained silent. Zhang Ru noticed the change in Zhao Weijun and understood that in the face of such a huge change, no one could accept it immediately.
But she believes that the greatest luck is to be alive, and as long as she is alive, there is still hope. So, she came over and took the initiative to talk to Zhao Weijun and ask about some household routines to distract Zhao Weijun.
At first, Zhao Weijun didn't say a word, just looked blankly at the northwest of the motherland. After a day of getting along, Zhang Ru learned the reason.
A little Lanzhou soldier named Zhao Weijun was looking in the direction of his hometown and was full of thoughts about going home. After the conversation between Zhang Ru and Zhao Weijun, we learned some basic information about him.
Zhao Weijun was born in an ordinary family in Yuzhong County, Lanzhou City, Gansu Province, and his family conditions were not good, only one son. In order to reduce the burden on his family, in October 1984, he left home to join the army before he was 18 years old.
In the army, he was down-to-earth, hardworking, and never fell behind in his daily training, and he was strict with himself. The squad leader was deeply moved by him and thought that he was a good seedling, so he became the deputy squad leader.
After the outbreak of the Battle of Laoshan, Zhao Weijun came to the border with a large army. The battle was fought extremely hard, and the Vietnamese army sent a large number of well-trained special forces to support the operation.
These special forces are not only well-trained, but what is even more terrifying is that every time they attack is extremely fierce, they don't care about their own life and death, as if as long as they can attack our army, they will be complete.
Zhao Weijun knew the danger of the enemy, and he was cautious everywhere after coming to the border for three months, but he did not expect to be trapped by the war.
Zhao Weijun went to the front line to deliver ammunition as is customary, and he has been engaged in this task for three months without any mistakes. Today, however, the weather seemed to be different, with thunder rolling in the sky and a torrential downpour soon after, causing mudslides in the mountains.
Zhao Weijun carefully avoided the rocks rolling down the mountains on both sides of the mountain road, he needed to make sure that he would not be swept away by the mudslide, and with dozens of kilograms of ammunition on his back, every step seemed very difficult.
However, the heavy rain made Zhao Weijun's judgment deteriorate, he suddenly stepped on a hard object, the mountain was full of mines planted by the Vietnamese army, Zhao Weijun realized that the situation was not good, the pain came from the soles of his feet, and before he could react, he fainted.
The mudslide quickly overwhelmed him. When Zhao Weijun's teammates heard the sound, they immediately surrounded him, and when they saw him seriously injured, everyone immediately sent him to the ambulance. Hearing this, Zhang Ru's heart tingled, the young man in front of him was only 18 years old, and his life had just begun!
Facing the injured little comrade-in-arms, she didn't know how to comfort her, so she could only barely squeeze out a smile and say, "Don't be afraid, everything will be fine, and your injuries will be fine." ”
Fighting back tears, she turned her head. However, things did not go as she wished, and Zhao Weijun did not get better, but worsened. Zhao Weijun's amputation was performed in a harsh environment and did not meet the sterility requirements.
Although everyone thought he was recovering well after the surgery, unfortunately, the worst happened. Zhao Weijun's wounds began to inflame, his whole body was infected, and he himself fell into a coma due to a persistent high fever.
Post-operative infections have a direct impact on the patient's life, and if not timely**, the consequences will be unimaginable. Zhao Weijun has been unconscious, and the ** of the ambulance center tried to feed him medicine and injections, hoping to reduce the fever, but the effect was very small.
On July 24, in order to save the life of the young soldier, the comrades of the ambulance station decided to transfer him to the rear, where there was a better ** environment. There, he might have a chance to survive.
After receiving the report, the comrades in the rear immediately dispatched *** With the help of ***, they could reach the large field hospital in a few hours. However, the reality was not as expected, and the mountain had been raining incessantly, and the ambulance station hid in a hidden corner of the terrain in order to avoid the enemy's attack.
** Can't find a suitable landing spot, can only hover in the air, landing is extremely difficult. Zhang Ru looked up at the plane overhead, she felt powerless, and she fervently hoped that the young little soldier would recover his health and return to the great northwest where he had grown.
But now, she couldn't do anything but stay by his side. Watching the plane come and go, Zhang Ru's heart was full of sadness. Soon after the plane left, Zhao Weijun suddenly came to his senses, and he was in good shape, and he asked Zhang Ru: "I'm so thirsty, can I drink some water?" ”
She prayed silently in her heart: "Little warrior, I hope you can **!"
Zhang Ru watched Zhao Weijun wake up, and was extremely happy in his heart, and immediately trotted to catch a bowl of water and carefully fed him to drink. Zhao Weijun took a short rest, and then pleaded with Zhang Ru: "*Sister, can you change the direction of my stretcher?"
I want to face my hometown. Zhang Ru was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then understood what he meant, and hurriedly turned his stretcher around with his comrades. She hoped that this was not Zhao Weijun's last words.
Suddenly, Zhao Weijun thanked Zhang Ru: "*Sister, thank you for saving me." I knew I might not make it. Although it is honorable to stay here for the sake of the motherland, and I do not regret it, there is one thing I would like to ask you to promise. ”
I heard that life is incomplete without being in love. I joined the army when I was 18 years old, and the woman I came into contact with was you, except for my mother. I can. Hug you? ”
Zhang Ru looked at Zhao Weijun, he was extremely weak and slurred, but the sincerity in his eyes deeply touched her.
She saw the little warrior's fiery eyes, and leaned over to hug him tenderly. Lowering his head, Zhang Ru's lips touched the corners of Zhao Weijun's mouth, the warrior was trembling slightly, this kiss that did not involve love or Fengyue made the people present feel extremely warm.
Not long after, Zhao Weijun was in Zhang Ru's arms, gradually losing his breath, and Zhang Ru felt the person in his arms gradually cooling. A tear slipped down, and then Zhang Ru could no longer hold back her tears, and the soldier's departure made her cry silently.
The little soldier Zhao Weijun stayed on the battlefield forever and also stayed in Zhang Ru's heart. Zhang Ru couldn't forget this young warrior, because of Zhao Weijun, she could always think of those young faces left on the battlefield.
Even after the war ended and she returned to her stable hometown, she could not forget it for a long time. The faces of those old people always lingered in front of her eyes. Countless times in her midnight dreams, she always remembered the little warrior, and in her memory, he asked her if she could hug him.
Zhang Ru was eager to do something for these fighters, and it wasn't long before she finally made up her mind.
The war took so many comrades-in-arms that I think of the days of the battlefield from time to time, watching these people appear in front of my eyes one by one, and nothing has changed.
Shouldn't we get together and go see these old friends? "In the old mountains of Yunnan, the blood of the martyrs is soaked in every inch of the land, and the heroes are bones, and we must not forget it for a moment.
After Zhang Ru finished speaking, the comrades-in-arms around him agreed, it turned out that everyone had been thinking about their old friends and that time. So, an event to commemorate his comrades-in-arms was organized in this way, and Zhang Ru also named the event"Journey of Duty"。
Zhang Ru and everyone carefully recalled the comrades-in-arms on the battlefield back then, and the partners of the "Journey of Duty" planned to go to the memorial one by one, see the hometowns of these old friends, and also look at them, and talk to them.
Among them is Zhao Weijun. In May 2015, the "Journey of Duty" team came to Yuzhong, Gansu Province, and met again many years later, Zhang Ru and this young soldier reunited in the martyrs' cemetery.
The years have passed, and the youth is no more. At the moment of meeting for the first time, Zhao Weijun was only 18 years old, and Zhang Ru was only 21. Today, many years later, Zhang Ru is no longer young, and Zhao Weijun still maintains a young face.
Maybe Zhao Weijun can't call her "** sister" when he sees Zhang Ru today, but should call her "** aunt". Seeing Zhao Weijun's young smile on the tombstone, Zhang Ru's tears couldn't help but slide.
She recalled that war-torn era, and she hugged a young soldier to give him the last warmth. She also remembered the life full of life and vitality, but in the end it was lost forever on the battlefield.
was so badly injured, but he didn't cry out in pain. Raising his head, Zhao Weijun's ** was facing Zhang Ru, with a resolute face, as if with a smile. Zhang Ru and his comrades-in-arms raised their glasses to pay tribute to the young little soldier, and a bouquet of flowers was placed in front of the tombstone.
Zhang Ru hoped that in this way, his soul could be comforted in the spirit of heaven. In addition to Zhao Weijun, Zhang Ru also met an old friend, that is, the martyr Chen Gang who died in the Battle of Laoshan.
Chen Gang's sacrifice is heart-wrenching, and he died for his country at the age of 18. In 1985, he went to the battlefield with his cousin, but in the end only brought back his cousin's ashes.
His cousin still remembers the scene when he handed over the ashes to Chen Gang's parents. Every time the comrades-in-arms of the "Journey of Duty" came to visit Chen Gang's parents, they would feel comforted.
Although Chen Gang and his parents were saddened by the sacrifice of their lives for their country, the fact that his comrades-in-arms still remembered him was enough to make them feel satisfied. Today, the "Journey of Duty" has traveled through 32 counties, and although Zhang Ru is over half a hundred years old, her pace has not stopped, and their story continues.
Zhang Ru hopes to visit more comrades-in-arms in her lifetime and tell them: "The country has not forgotten you, and the country is proud of you." "My comrades-in-arms have not forgotten you, and you will always live in their hearts!" ”
Her behavior is like the female soldier Zhang Ru, burning into a blooming red lotus, a real version of "Fanghua".
In the war-torn era, a female ** met a comrade-in-arms who had never met before, and the friendship between them shone brightly in the last hug and kiss. The cruelty of the war easily took away the fresh life, but the tenacity and charm of the Chinese sons and daughters, in such a historical background, have left countless touching memories, these memories have nothing to do with love, nothing to do with the wind and moon, but the deep comradeship, enough to make people tearful, timeless, give people hope, give people strength.
However, behind the heartwarming story is the untold suffering caused by the war. The news of the death of his only son Zhao Weijun in the battle came, and his parents cried bitterly in the room.
The Battle of Laoshan has been fought for 9 years, and how many soldiers, like Zhao Weijun, have remained on the battlefield forever. The war not only left scars on the body, but also wounds in the heart that cannot be healed.
Let peace stay forever in the world, so that every soldier can find his own happy home, go home safely, refuse war, and cherish peace!
