The car left Kunlun Mountain and galloped along the Qinghai-Tibet Highway. The reporter finally rushed to the funeral home in Golmud City on the morning of August 2 to attend the funeral of soldier Guo Hao.
The officers and men who waited in the farewell hall of the body early looked sad. The portrait is a thin face full of childishness, and their clever eyes are fixed on the front. The body was placed in a crystal coffin and covered with a bright August 1st military flag.
On July 30th, 20 18, on the plateau exercise ground, Guo Hao, a private of an army brigade in the western theater, and his comrades-in-arms quickly broke into a highland at an altitude of 5008 meters. Suddenly, Guo Hao fell to the ground sideways and lost consciousness. The comrades-in-arms gave him oxygen and choked him urgently, and the health worker gave him quick-acting rescue pills and cardiopulmonary resuscitation. After that, the helicopter transported him to the field hospital for full rescue. The sudden cardiac arrest caused by cold and lack of oxygen mercilessly took his young life.
Although it is midsummer, Golmud is still chilly in the morning, and the snow peaks of Kunlun are looming in the morning fog.
10: 30, Yue Jia, deputy political commissar of a brigade of the Army in the Western Theater, announced that the memorial service for Comrade Guo Hao began. Dozens of officers and men were extremely sad, silently mourning in their hearts, and the dried-up tears on their faces added new ones. They are representatives of officers and men selected from the whole brigade. Comrades all want to send Guo Hao through this last life, but they have to stick to their combat posts because of their tasks.
Salute! Representatives of officers and men came slowly and dignified, walked past Guo Hao's body in turn, and gently placed the flowers in their hands on the crystal coffin cover. When you look around at the portrait, salute again and bid farewell to Guo Hao for the last time.
Knowing the danger of Kunlun, climb the road bravely. Guo Hao's sacrifice made his comrades truly realize the cruelty of the "forbidden zone of life" on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. The black elegiac couplet and the white Chinese characters "Dedicate yourself to national defense, pay high aspirations and leave a name for the country" are the most sincere respects of comrades-in-arms to Guo Hao.
"Before the sacrifice, he was still taking care of me." Pan Ying O, a classmate, burst into tears. He is a gunner in the class, and his physical fitness is weak. When marching, Guo Hao took the initiative to replace Pan's machine gun with his own rifle. In this change, the weight on Guo Hao's shoulder is nearly 4 kilograms.
Pan Yingao sleeps in Guo Hao's lower berth. He remembers that Guo Hao stood guard for his comrades with altitude sickness after he was stationed in Gaoyuan, and his comrades with sprained back and ankle went to the toilet. The last time I performed the interspersed task, it was also the quota that Guo Hao took the initiative to fight for.
"Monitor, I'm leaving!" The scene of Guo Hao taking the initiative to fight is still emerging in front of the squad leader Liu Yajiang. He couldn't bear to refuse Guo Hao's determined eyes. From recruits to veterans, whether it is training tasks or business responsibilities, Guo Hao is always the first to give a report and devote himself wholeheartedly.
Guo Hao's parents came all the way from Xianyang, Shaanxi, and they were already crying. Guo Hao was supposed to be discharged from the army in less than a month. They will soon be able to meet their long-lost son and listen to his story of joining the army face to face. However, what they are waiting for is Guo Hao's sudden departure.
"He sacrificed for the country and the army, so you don't have to blame yourself." In the face of the apology of the officers and men for "not taking good care of Guo Hao", Guo's parents said with tears.
After the memorial service, Private Yang Hao stood alone in front of Guo Hao's portrait, unwilling to leave for a long time. He joined the army in the same year as Guo Hao, and he wanted to tell Guo Hao about the few kilometers he had not traveled. "Dad, Mom, A Hao is also in my name, and I will be your son in the future!" Guo's father, Guo's mother and Guo hugged each other tightly and let tears flow freely.
After Guo Hao's body was cremated, his comrades put his hat badge, epaulettes and armbands into the urn. Comrades lined up neatly, holding Guo Hao's ashes in both hands, and solemnly boarded the bus and set off. His ashes will be placed in Xining Martyrs Cemetery in Qinghai Province.
There was no war in China, but soldiers made sacrifices. After hearing the news of Guo Hao's sacrifice, a comrade-in-arms wrote this poem in the WeChat circle of friends: "Your soul is as high as Kunlun/your reputation will last forever/you will become the sand in the wild field/the most powerful cornerstone in the military field/you will become the snow lotus on the mountain/the most vital rhythm in the forbidden zone of life ..."
19 years old, fell on the road of charge.
-Remember Private Guo Hao of a synthetic brigade of the Army in the Western Theater?
■ Sun Libo, a special correspondent of Weining People's Liberation Army Daily, is happy.
On August 17, the big tent of the 3rd Battalion and 7th Company of a synthetic brigade of the Army in the western theater was solemn. Under the gaze of the officers and men of the whole company, instructor Yu Yadong posted a half-length photo in his hand into the company's "glorious history" called "Red Family Tree".
Below the photo, Yu Yadong wrote a description in his most standard font: Guo Hao, I am a first-class soldier, 19 years old, from Ganxian County, Shaanxi Province, and I joined the army in 20 16 years. On July 30th, 20 18, he died of cardiac arrest during altitude exercise, leaving his glory and dream on the road of charge forever.
In the history of the company, there is also a photo. This is a photo taken before the mission. In the picture, the officers and men of the seventh company are smiling brightly, and they can't see the tension before the battle. After taking this photo, Guo Hao and his comrades-in-arms embarked on the road to winning the championship.
His life stays at the age of 19, and his figure is fixed on the road of charge.
On the morning of July 30, the officers and men of the Seventh Company camped in the standby area for one night and set off in full gear. With an average load of more than 20 kilograms, they have to March on foot 10 kilometers, climb over three highlands with an altitude of more than 4,500 meters and go straight into the "enemy" command post. Guo Hao's firepower group was incorporated into the main attack team.
This is the first time for Guo Hao to train in the plateau, and it is also the first time for him to come to such a place close to the sky. When receiving the interspersed task, he was as excited as the officers and men of the company. There are more than 20 companies in the whole brigade, and only two companies have the opportunity to participate in this mission.
At about 9 o'clock, officers and men attacked a highland at an altitude of 5008 meters. At this point, Guo Hao fell to the ground without warning. Health workers and company cadres arrived one after another, and his comrades called his name without any response.
The military doctor immediately rescued him. Seven companies with tasks did not stop, and many comrades took a look and moved on. They thought that Guo Hao just fainted in training and would catch up after a rest.
Subsequently, Guo Hao was taken to the hospital by helicopter. Despite the best efforts of the medical staff, he failed to save his young life.
A few hours later, the officers and men of the Seventh Company completed the interspersed task and arrived at the destination. At this time, they learned the news of Guo Hao's sacrifice.
Guo Hao's sudden departure left too many thoughts for his comrades. Everyone wants to have a chance to say goodbye to him. ...
"This time the mountain is high and the road is long, why not go later!" After receiving the interspersed task, Tang Benheng, the vice squad leader, made a joke with several young soldiers including Guo Hao.
"Even if I climb, I will climb back." Guo Hao accepted us without hesitation.
Along the way, he took two comrades-in-arms to load materials and build tents, and he was still on sentry duty until the eve of his sacrifice. However, his promise of "crawling back" failed to come true.
Before leaving, Guo Hao also quietly went to talk to the staff sergeant and Chen Yunhui.
In the face of the old squad leader, Guo Hao opened his heart. He made no secret of his growth and progress in the sharp knife class and his getting along with his comrades. Chen Yunhui is not surprised by this situation, because it is less than 1 month before Guo Hao leaves the army, and these heartfelt words can only be heard at this time.
"Come to me during the holiday and wait for you." When breaking up, Guo Hao left this sentence, which has now become Chen Yunhui's secret pain.
"The ideal is higher than the sky, and the more bitter it is, the more forward it is."
"The ideal is higher than the sky, and the more bitter it is, the more forward it is." On June 13 this year, Guo Hao wrote this sentence when forwarding a group of pictures of border guards in the WeChat circle of friends, which was turned around by Yang Xiaojun and other comrades.
Guo Hao wrote in the WeChat circle of friends that "the ideal is higher than the sky, the harder it is, the more forward it is", and at the same time wrote it on the inside of the helmet as his life motto.
At that time, the unit had just received an order to train in the plateau, and the officers and men of the company talked for a while. Many new soldiers who have never experienced such a task are full of drums. However, after seeing the article and this sentence forwarded by Guo Hao, everyone dispelled their anxiety and had some expectations for altitude training.
When sorting out the relics, Yang Xiaojun saw this sentence again on the inside of Guo Hao's helmet, and he was in tears. In his memory, Guo Hao has always had a sense of urgency. Guo Hao has always said that he has only been a soldier for two years, and he has to do everything in these two years.
In June 5438+February last year, this brigade selected members of the peacekeeping detachment. Hearing this, Guo Hao ran to find Yang Xiaojun, then acting platoon leader.
"The peacekeeping team was selected through the elimination system. We even had 65,438+00 people running for office. How can you rank yourself? " Considering that Guo Hao's overall quality is not top-notch in the company, Yang Xiaojun had to give up the idea on the grounds of great difficulty.
"As long as I go, I will definitely stay." Guo Hao didn't stop there. He found the company commander again, and under his soft grinding and hard foam, the company commander finally allowed him to participate in the selection. In the strong training team, Guo Hao was rated as an advanced individual in the first week with solid training. Unexpectedly, after the cancellation of the mission, his dream of peacekeeping can only be put on hold for the time being.
In Yang Xiaojun's eyes, Guo Hao is like this, regardless of hardships, and keeps moving forward.
At the beginning of this year, due to exams, training and vacations, only Guo Hao was a first-class soldier in the platoon.
A combat physical training, who will carry the cooking backpack has become a difficult problem in the class. There are all kinds of rice noodle pots and stoves in this backpack, but the weight is heavier than that of two people combined.
On the verge of departure, Guo Hao stood up and said, "I'll carry it!" " "The whole journey is 30 kilometers, and he didn't fall behind until the armed attack. Yang Xiaojun stopped to wait for him, but he forced out a smile and said, "Monitor, I can keep up. Just watch. "
"He is not the best soldier, but he has been improving."
These two days, every roll call will make the company commander Liang Dong feel like a knife-the team standing in front of him is missing a young face.
"Compared with the same batch of recruits, his physical fitness is relatively weak. Throwing grenades, the action is not good, and you can't vote. " In Liang Dong's story, Guo Hao is still the skinny recruit.
At first, Guo Hao, who fell behind in various achievements, was not conspicuous. However, when he was a soldier, Guo Hao grew 7 centimeters taller, surpassing the company commander.
He will train more than others every day and will go all out every time. Every time he would smile and say, "I'm fine, I can still practice."
"If you only give me one private, I want Guo Hao because he is willing to practice." When the recruits got off work, Chen Yunhui, the squad leader who graduated from physical education, took a fancy to Guo Hao. In his record, Guo Hao's training performance improved "steeply" three months after he joined the company.
Under the leadership of Chen Yunhui, getting up early to practice has become the normal life of Guo Hao. If the 3 km cross-country fails, he will continue to practice, and he will repeatedly practice his movements and arm strength not far away ... Soon, the training plan formulated by the squad leader can no longer meet Guo Hao's "ambition".
"Monitor, run 5 kilometers from tomorrow!" Guo Hao's independent pressure made Chen Yunhui feel gratified. At Guo Hao's insistence, his training volume gradually increased from 3 km to 8 km.
"This boy just don't give up. He couldn't sit still when he saw that others were praised for their good grades. " Chen Yunhui said that every day before lunch, Guo Hao would practice the horizontal bar by himself. ...
After a year of hard work, Guo Hao sent himself to the sharp knife class. For him, this is the recognition of the officers and men of the company and an honor. During the interview, Guo Hao's two squad leaders said the same thing to reporters: "He is not the best soldier, but he has been making progress ..."
In the plateau in early autumn, the night is already chilly. Guo Hao's imprint still remains in every corner of Class One. On his bed, the neatly stacked coats were pinched out of a corner, and the bulging backpack seemed to be waiting for him to start again.
The new training task has arrived, and the officers and men of the Seventh Company are once again engaged in intense training. In the hearts of his comrades, Guo Hao is still with them. ...
There is always a tearful parting, and there is always a touch of ordinary and lofty. On the eve of "August 1st", on the top of the frozen Kunlun Mountain, we bid farewell to a soldier named Guo Hao in the name of mission.
19 years old, his youth has just begun; Less than two years later, before he finished his second Army Day, he fell on the road to charge. Sadness, regret and disappointment ... This lovely young soldier, with the blood of "higher altitude and higher morale", turned his young life into a monument and stood in the "forbidden zone of life" on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.
There was no war in China, but soldiers made sacrifices. On the day of protecting peace, soldiers died not only on the battlefield, but also Guo Hao, * * * and the national soldiers who "put mission above life"? The flood-fighting hero who bravely saved the masses, Shen, a peacekeeping soldier who has lived in a foreign country, and Zhu Ke Zhang, a carrier-based pilot who dreams of a sea and sky ... According to incomplete statistics of the media, nearly 100 people have died in the PLA, armed police and militia reserve since 20 16.
There are no quiet years, but someone carries the burden for us. When a comrade-in-arms mourned Guo Hao, he wrote: "The prosperity of the world is because someone is guarding the desolation." Indeed, choosing a military career means choosing sacrifice and dedication, and it is doomed to face the test of life and death. Facing the call of mission, China soldiers went to the cold and oxygen-deficient snow area, to the battlefield where bullets were flying, to the roaring sea of death, to the constant danger of aftershocks, and used the "most beautiful retrograde" again and again to interpret the responsibility and value of soldiers, as well as the hard-won happiness and peace of their homes.
A cavity of blood is diligent and precious, even if spilled, it can become Bi Tao. Looking back at these sacrificial faces, they are all in mottled youth, with plain names, but they support the backbone of the nation with their youthful bodies. Youth is not only poetry and distance, but also sacrifice and dedication; Youth is not only full of passion, but also full of blood. "You can't extend the length of life, but you can grasp its width, enrich its connotation and improve its quality." Liu Jingtai, Shen, Juck Zhang, and today's Guo Hao ... they turned their passion into the loyalty of soldiers and wrote the immortality of life.
The soldiers fought the enemy in the golden drum during the day and slept in the saddle at night. When Guo Hao fell on the snowy plateau, his comrades were still struggling to challenge the limit in the "life forbidden zone"; When He and Zhang are still in the sky, more comrades are soaring and fighting the blue sky.
Even if the soldiers fall, they should keep their charge posture in the direction of victory. Soldiers in China shoulder important tasks and will never give up the charge because of sacrifice. For the benefit of the motherland and the people, they are still silently sticking to the lonely border, waiting to die in the training ground, and bravely moving forward when the disaster comes. Their blood will always boil for national security, and their loyalty will surely raise a peaceful sky for the motherland.
