Chapter 166: Under the Arc de Triomphe: A Warm Farewell to the Flood Fighting Soldiers
0165 Under the Arc de Triomphe: Warmly welcome the triumphant return of the soldiers who fought against the flood
"But I can tell everyone responsibly that General Dong's requirements for his son are much stricter than other officers and soldiers. Why? Just because he is the son of a general. Since he chooses to be a soldier, he must become a soldier like his father! "Wang Liang said.

Said these words, Wang Liang empathized.

I have three sons, two of whom are soldiers.

Of the five grandchildren, three are soldiers.

Before putting on the military uniform, I doted on him in every possible way, and I could do whatever I wanted.

But wearing a military uniform is different, and must be strictly required.

You can make transfers through the back door, but the places you go to must be the most difficult and remote places.

Otherwise, how could Wang Liang be so familiar with those border posts?
The old man looked like a tiger dad and sent his son to the lonely and desolate wind and snow plateau.

As everyone knows, for many days and nights, the old man hid in the study, holding a magnifying glass, carefully looking at the border defense map.

He refused to let go of every river, every mountain range, every cultivated land, and every beach.

Just because of missing my son.

Wang Liang loves his children, but in a special way.

Perhaps this is the uniqueness of military families.

The sons didn't resent their father. Gradually, they fell in love with the quietness and simplicity unique to the outpost.

When they were in the military academy, they studied and trained day after day, and they also thought about philosophical issues such as the meaning of life, but the feeling of confusion and emptiness was always lingering.

After arriving at the outpost, the children suddenly found that their hearts were enriched, sublimated, and enriched in the daily tranquility.

I understand better what is national interest and what is national interest.

"During the flood fighting in [-], although General Dong and his son were in the same position, they rarely saw each other. I remember very clearly that the general saw the black and thin second lieutenant's son while inspecting the construction. .”

Hearing that his father was coming, the son was so pleasantly surprised that he ran away in a hurry without bothering to get dressed.

I saw my father's face was tanned, and the skin on his arms peeled off mottled and mottled.

Seeing his son who was as tanned as himself, although General Dong's serious expression did not show distress, he showed a hint of relief.

General Dong: "How is it?"

Son: "It's okay!"

General Dong asked, "Have you learned how to fight floods yet?"

The son nodded.

General Dong: "What is piping?"

Son: "Under the action of seepage, the fine particles of the soil form pores along the skeleton particles, and water flows in the soil pores"

General Dong: "Tell me about the rescue method."

Son: "Before cutting the back, guide the pressure, reduce the seepage pressure, and prevent the seepage from bringing out the sediment"

The son answered fluently, and General Dong nodded slightly.

Before leaving, he raised his right arm and said to his son: "Look at your hands, they are not as tanned as mine. I have already burst the third layer of skin. You must at least be tanned like this." qualified."

The son smiled embarrassedly, nodded again and again, and kept it in his heart.

Wang Liang swiped the screen and found a photo, which was the one where the general pointed to his arm and told his son.

At that time, the general pointed to his right arm, opened his mouth, and said something.

The son stared intently at his father's arm, showing two front teeth, and smiled shyly.

He knew he wasn't doing enough.

There were two school officers next to the general, they waited quietly, and did not disturb the rare and warm moment of the father and son's rare reunion.

Wang Liang said: "These things are not fabricated, they are all real. These are our generals, and these are our grassroots officers and soldiers."

In fact, in the Red Sharp Knife Company, Second Lieutenant Dong was called the chief by the soldiers.

Because, he is recognized as the darkest person in the company.

Second Lieutenant Dong expressed his feelings like this: "My father has always been very strict with me. I always feel that I can touch his goal even if I jump up. As his only son, I never slack off for a day. Always in the middle of a tense rush. Don't embarrass your father!"

Generals have served in several important positions.

But he never said hello to others in matters of examination, transfer, assignment, and promotion, nor did he seek connections or go through the back door.

Wang Liang suddenly remembered something, and added: "Oh, there was one exception. The only time Lao Dong used his relationship was because his son was mischievous since he was a child. He decided to send his son to the army for reform. At that time, he helped his son choose It is a company. Whichever company has the hardest training and the hardest training will be sent there.”

The scene of flood fighting when Jiujiang blocked the breach is still vivid in my mind.

Beside the breach, the battle flag is flying high.

2000 officers and soldiers formed a chain of conveyors, throwing stones and grain bags for water blocking into the torrent.

But the turbulent water quickly washed away the sandbags and grain bags without a trace.

The steel pipes arrived, and the soldiers twisted the steel pipes into fences, drove them into the bottom of the river in rows, and then quickly threw stones, bagged gravel, steel cage stones, and bags of rice and broad beans.

The loss of stone materials has been contained, and the effect of water blocking is obvious.

General Dong gave an order: "The troops change defense!"

The 1800 officers and soldiers who rushed to the rescue from thousands of miles from Zhejiang Province drove to the scene in high spirits, and the exhausted soldiers withdrew.

Wang Liang: "Command and dispatch, can't you just use your words? Come, look at this photo."

As he spoke, Wang Liang found another photo.

A photo few have seen.

In the photo, the general is clearly in the torrential flood, holding hands with the officers and soldiers, forming a human wall.

Look carefully, the general didn't even wear a life jacket!

Leading by example is by no means talking.

In the early morning of September 1998, 9, Jiujiang City.

The 3-day flood fighting and rescue ended, and more than [-] trapped people were rescued.

Early morning was chosen because the officers and soldiers of the People's Liberation Army did not want to disturb the masses.

quietly i leave, just as i quietly; waving my sleeves, i won't take a single cloud.

You don't need to know who I am, just know who I am for.

Even in the early hours of the morning, a rare scene of empty streets appeared in Jiujiang City.

No one organized it, it was completely spontaneous.

In the early morning, no one was just putting on and sleeping late.

The citizens of Jiujiang woke up early and prepared a lot of breakfast.

On Ten Mile Avenue, under the temporary "Arch of Triomphe".

Hundreds of thousands of Jiujiang citizens shed tears to see off the first batch of soldiers who defended Jiujiang during the flood fight.

The citizens stuffed eggs, bread, and milk into the hands of officers and soldiers.
The officers and soldiers politely refused.

Don't take the people's needles and threads, and do what you say.

On the open trucks leaving one after another, the officers and soldiers smiled and waved goodbye to the citizens.

Those citizens wailed loudly, reluctant to part with it, really reluctant to part with it.

In less than two months, they really got to know the Chinese People's Liberation Army and the Chinese People's Armed Police Force.

"Comrades of the People's Liberation Army, you have worked hard."

"Thank you, you guys."

"thank you all."

"I wish you all a safe journey."

"Jiujiang people will never forget you."

"Goodbye, Uncle PLA!"

The aunt wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and the students burst into tears.
The driver slowed down to give the officers and soldiers time to say goodbye.

A brief handshake, a lifetime of friendship.

The Chinese nation is a nation that knows how to be grateful. If you warm him, he will warm others.

Good people, that's how they were born.

Later, the officers and soldiers stood upright in the rear compartment, saluting the military until the truck left the city.
It's hard for a bad person to become a good person, but since then, many people have slowly become better

The photos are all real, and there is also a farewell video, which can be found online, if you can’t find it, you can ask for it.
