Many comrades in arms do not believe that the first level sergeant Gao Muchang, who has a black, red, thin face, resolute eyes, and decisive actions, once had a stuttering problem. Comrades said, class leader, you always talk to us well, why have you ever eaten? Takagi Masayoshi didn't respond, just smiled shyly. Whenever faced with urgent, difficult, dangerous, and heavy tasks, 34 year old Takagi Chang often imagines himself as a soldier fighting to the death: smoke fills his eyes, shells roar in his ears, his body resolutely rushes forward in the roaring artillery fire, and the heavy machine gun in his hand fires angry tongues... In the face of adversity, he can feel a kind of strength that makes him risk everything to complete his mission. The first time I went for high-altitude training at an altitude of over 4500 meters, I was caught off guard by the intense altitude sickness. He has a headache that feels like someone is constantly hitting him with a hammer, with palpitations, shortness of breath, and uncontrolled shaking of his legs. At that time, Gao Muchang was the main shooter of a heavy machine gun company in a certain regiment of the Xinjiang Military Region. He had to carry a gun body weighing nearly 20 kilograms on his shoulders when climbing glaciers and snow capped mountains. Before the drill charge was launched, Takagi Chang suddenly received orders to immediately climb to a high point on the flank of the snow capped mountain at an altitude of 5200 meters and snipe to reinforce the "enemy". At two o'clock in the afternoon, the strong wind howled with sand and dust in the snowy mountains and valleys. Sand kept pouring into his mouth and ears. He had a box of ammunition on his right shoulder and a heavy machine gun on his left shoulder, with two comrades carrying nearly 10 kilograms of tripods and ammunition boxes following closely behind. They charged fiercely towards the sniper position amidst the icy peaks and snowy valleys. Gaomu Chang has a headache that makes his eyes sparkle and his heart beat like a drum. The high altitude and sandstorms make it difficult for him to breathe. Cannot rest, must arrive at the position within the specified time! "He constantly encouraged himself in his heart, turning back to call his comrades to follow closely. Suddenly, a gust of cold wind hit, causing Takagi Chang to feel anxious and short of breath. His intermittent words were immediately torn to pieces by the strong wind, and his body trembled as if he was about to fall down. Two comrades rushed up to help him: squad leader, what's wrong with you? Gaomu Chang trembled his lips and said, "Hurry up, we must climb to the battlefield as well." After returning from the high-altitude training, Gaomu Chang was awarded the third class merit. For a long time after descending the mountain, he could hear the dense wind echoing in his breath. Later, the company was transferred to a support team, and the company commander solicited everyone's willingness to pay attention. This time, Gao Muchang didn't stutter at all, speaking as fast as the clatter of a heavy machine gun. He said, 'I cherish the glory and strength of soldiers.'. Takagi Chang likes fan sweeping and rotating sweeping, and his bullets are fired without fail. Turning to the Light Infantry Second Company, he still hadn't left the heavy machine gun that had repeatedly crushed him and injured his shoulders. He said that guns have life, and understanding their temperament and personality is the key to unleashing their full potential. Er Gaomu Chang suffered a lot due to his stuttering. His stuttering was not innate, but learned from his neighbor Aqiang. The child has a stutter without realizing it, and the parents are so anxious that they jump to their feet. However, they have searched everywhere for folk remedies, but none of them have been effective. Later, through continuous practice, his stuttering improved a lot, but when he became nervous and anxious, his tongue would become difficult to straighten. Gao Muchang is accustomed to silence, being quiet and independent. Entering the military camp, he could no longer remain silent. His communication was okay, but when he became nervous, his tongue began to knot again. The class monitor saw the clues and didn't say a word. Every morning and evening, during his free time, he would give him a newspaper or a book and ask him to read aloud outside. Two years of unwavering perseverance, Gao Muchang surprisingly stopped stuttering. He participated in the pre training of commanding non commissioned officers and was appointed as the squad leader as soon as he graduated. Every time Takagi Chang recalls these things, he is quite grateful: I used to be like someone who fell into a deep pit, wanting to jump out repeatedly but lacking the strength. The more anxious I was, the worse it was; It was the class monitor and my comrades who gave me strength, enabling me to overcome my stuttering and regain my confidence. In July 2015, Gao Muchang, who had returned from a mission in another city, received a phone call from his mother at the hospital as soon as he received his phone. My mother cried and said, 'Our family's sky has collapsed - his father suddenly suffered from Guillain Barre syndrome, and his body has lost sensation from the chest down.'. Hurriedly rushing home, Gao Muchang, who was accompanying his father in front of the hospital bed, was overwhelmed with emotions. Before leaving, the palms of his comrades on his shoulder still had warmth. Squad leader, it's okay! If there's a hurdle, let's step over and get through it together! "" Squad leader, remember to teach me how to shoot heavy machine guns when you come back! "The words of my comrades were like an iron, smoothing out Takagi Chang's heart that had been wrinkled due to his father's illness. During that time, Takagi Chang often stood by the window of the ward, staring blankly at the patients walking in the garden downstairs. Occasionally seeing family members sobbing uncontrollably due to the loss of loved ones, memories of the past flood back to him. He felt guilty for the debt he owed to his parents when he was young and ignorant, and he was helpless because he couldn't always be by his parents' side as a soldier now. When he enlisted, he remembered clearly what his father said to him: "When you put on military uniform, you can't just pretend to have a small family in your heart, but also pretend to have a country." His father's illness gradually improved. He is going back to the team and wants to go home to see his mother. After leaving the team for a long time and not exercising for a long time, he decided to walk home. After walking for over an hour, his phone made a vibration sound, and he couldn't help but shed tears while watching - it was a message sent to him by his comrade, with words full of concern and warmth. Returning to the army, my comrades found that Gao Muchang's training was even more intense. No matter what job he did, he always rushed ahead with great enthusiasm. At the end of that year, Takagi Chang, who had planned to retire after serving in the army for five years, voluntarily stayed in the team and was promoted to sergeant. The sky on the Three Plateaus is like a child's face, changing at will. As soon as the sun sets, the cold wind is like a knife, and the temperature drops sharply, freezing people to the point of fighting all over their bodies. The exercise has begun, and Gao Muchang has been ordered to lead the whole class to seize a position located on the top of a mountain at an altitude of over 5100 meters. The steep slopes and knife like cliffs require both hands and feet to climb step by step. On the battlefield, every second counts. At an altitude of over 3600 meters, he and his comrades were already very tired, but they still encouraged each other, rubbing their fists and palms, and entered the combat area as quickly as possible. Amidst heavy breathing, they arrived at the mountaintop sweating profusely. The second command followed: hold the position and be on standby. Although it is already May, the cold wind still howls at the top of the snow capped mountains at night, and heavy snow suddenly falls. Under the severe cold, without tents and heating equipment, the soldiers sweated and immediately felt extremely cold. Find a shelter from the wind and find a way to burn a fire to keep warm Takagi Chang made a decisive decision. That night, in the midst of hunger and cold, he tightly surrounded his comrades, relying on the warmth of his body and intermittent flames to sit until dawn. By the time the warm supplies and food were delivered up the mountain, he and his comrades had been holding their ground on the snowy battlefield for over 20 hours. The Fourth Regiment ordered the Fourth Company to dispatch a small team to undertake high-altitude airborne training tasks. Gao Muchang appealed to company commander Guo Qiangping: Our regiment was formerly known as the 359th Brigade, and the fourth squad was called the "Zhang Fuqing squad". Let the fourth squad establish itself and inherit the spirit of our predecessors in urgent and difficult tasks, and forge it into steel. Aerial training is conducted in the "life restricted zone" at an altitude of over 4500 meters, where unexpected dangers can occur at any time. After the landing simulation training platform was set up, Gao Muchang said, "I'm the squad leader, I'll jump first." Guo Qiangping disagreed and said, "No, I'll jump first!" Gao Muchang refused and said, "I'm an old soldier, I'll come first." After less than a month of training on the self built platform, Gao Muchang took his comrades to the training ground. During this high-altitude aerial landing training, Gao Muchang's team achieved multiple firsts and was awarded the collective third class merit due to being the closest to practical combat requirements and having the shortest aerial landing time. Just after entering the battlefield, the Fourth Company was tasked with demonstrating high-altitude mountain attack exercises. The rough sandstorm on the plateau made the tent clatter. The hour hand pointed to 2 o'clock in the morning, and seeing that the captain's tent was still lit up, Gao Muchang shouted "report" and went in, handing over his prepared attack drill plan to Guo Qiangping. I have come up with a plan, please take a look and see if it works Guo Qiangping turned to look at him and said, "Why did you think of doing this?" Gao Muchang chuckled and said, "I learned from you to think carefully before major tasks and not to fight unprepared battles. With one mission, one must have a harvest and growth. That day, due to a headache and chest tightness, Takagi Masayoshi lay in bed tossing and turning, unable to sleep. He remembered the exercise: they held their position for more than 20 hours on the mountaintop at an altitude of over 5100 meters, and when they came down the mountain, the company commander made dumplings for their comrades. The joy and excitement of that time seemed to be right in front of him. His eyes couldn't help but moisten. Listening to the strong wind beating against the tent, Takagi Chang's heart was like the wind passing over the lake, creating layers of ripples. He remembered once again that there was a soldier in the platoon who was stubborn and disobedient to the squad leader's discipline. The squad leader is young and has a short military service, so he didn't know what to do for a while. The training and life spent together day and night gradually reconciled the old grudges between the two. The new soldier saw the sense of responsibility as a soldier in the squad leader, and the squad leader did not give up on him. He regarded him as his comrade in arms, brother, and relative... The next year after retiring, the soldier held onto the squad leader and cried uncontrollably. The waves of passing military troops surged like waves, filling Takagi Chang's heart with an indescribable force that struck his ear drum, urging him to continue moving forward; It also nourishes his heart, making him proud to shoulder the heavy responsibility as a soldier. Gradually, altitude sickness seemed to recede like a tide. When he woke up from his dream, the wind had stopped and dawn was approaching on the plateau. Last year, after returning from high-altitude training, Takagi Masayoshi was awarded second-class merit. Facing the golden military medal, Gao Muchang, with a thin face and resolute eyes, appeared somewhat shy. He said that people should grow vigorously like plants, and he was grateful to the military camp for giving me the strength to grow upwards. (New Society)
