Review of the first lesson of the school year, I Love You China, waiting for answers

In the early winter of 1955, Qian Xuesen, who had just overcome the obstruction of the US authorities from returning to his motherland, visited the Harbin Military Engineering Institute. The dean, General Chen Geng, asked him: "Can the Chinese develop missiles?" Qian Xuesen said: "Foreigners can do it, why can't the Chinese do it? Are the Chinese shorter than foreigners?!"

This sentence determined Qian Xuesen's career in rockets, missiles and aerospace. More than 40 years have passed, and Qian Xuesen is now 90 years old. With his foundational contributions to China's rocket and missile technology, aerospace technology and even the entire high-tech national defense industry, he wrote a splendid chapter for the modernization of our military's weapons and equipment.

On February 17, 1956, after careful consideration, Qian Xuesen proposed the "Opinion Letter on the Establishment of my country's National Defense Aviation Industry", regarding the organization of my country's rocket and missile industries. plans, development plans and specific measures. The "Opinion" received great attention from the Party Central Committee. Soon, Qian Xuesen was appointed to establish my country's first rocket and missile research institute, the Fifth Research Institute of the Ministry of National Defense. October 8th—the first anniversary of Qian Xuesen’s return to China—the Fifth Academy of the Ministry of National Defense was announced and Qian Xuesen was appointed president. New China's rocket, missile and aerospace industries thus began a difficult journey. There are so many things to worry about when starting a new business. Qian Xuesen first taught "Introduction to Missiles" to the 156 college students who had just been assigned, so that these technicians who had never seen a missile could understand the most basic professional knowledge. He formulated study plans for aerodynamics, engines and other related majors, and guided the establishment of research laboratories for missile overall, aerodynamics, engines, and missile body structures.

Jiuquan Launch Site. Qian Xuesen, like ordinary scientific and technological personnel, slept in tents, ate coarse grains, and organized the testing, calculation, analysis, and research of missile tests. Under the difficult conditions when the former Soviet Union suddenly withdrew all its experts, he led Chinese scientists to overcome difficulties one after another, and successfully conducted my country's first missile flight test on November 5, 1960. Nie Rongzhen, who was at the scene, said happily: "This is an important turning point in the history of my country's military equipment." On October 27, 1966, Qian Xuesen participated in organizing the flight explosion test of my country's first medium- and short-range surface-to-surface missile equipped with a nuclear warhead. , that is, the "two-bomb combined" test of atomic bombs and missiles. The nuclear warhead successfully achieved a nuclear explosion over the predetermined location, which shocked the world. my country's national defense modernization construction has once again achieved a historic leap.

As a great scientist of a generation, Qian Xuesen’s vision is always forward-looking. Shortly after the first missile was successfully launched, Qian Xuesen organized relevant experts to discuss the development path of my country's surface-to-surface missiles, and formed the "Opinions on the Development Path of my country's Surface-to-Surface Missiles", which proposed my country's medium and short range, medium range, medium and long range and Long-term development plan for intercontinental missiles. Subsequently, projects such as surface-to-air missiles, coastal defense missiles, solid motors, solid missiles, anti-missile systems and launch vehicles were also launched one after another under his organization and coordination. In January 1965, he submitted a report to the central government, suggesting that my country's artificial satellite research plan should be formulated as soon as possible and included in the national mission. The project code name of my country's first man-made satellite was thus designated as "Project 651", and Qian Xuesen was responsible for the overall technical coordination and organizational implementation of the "Star-Arrow-Ground System". On April 24, 1970, my country's first man-made satellite "Dongfanghong-1" traveled into space, announcing to the world that New China had ushered in the dawn of the space era.

Qian Xuesen is one of the founders of China’s military high technology. He not only made outstanding contributions to the cause of "two bombs and one satellite", but also put forward high-level important ideas and viewpoints on my country's military scientific research, and directly advocated the establishment and development of military systems engineering and military operations research disciplines. As early as the late 1970s, Qian Xuesen profoundly expounded the idea that "war is a science." He pointed out: “We must use modern science and technology to study the laws of war and study the science of war, which forms modern military science.

"

After painstaking research, Qian Xuesen made a complete discussion of the military science system in a written speech in 1998. He pointed out: "In military science, the basic theoretical level is military science, and the technical theoretical level is It is military operations research, and the applied technology level is military systems engineering. He positioned the role and function of military systems engineering as "using modern scientific and technological methods to better solve practical problems in the implementation of military lines and military strategies", and summarized the main problems to be solved as: combat simulation; weapons Demonstration of design plans of equipment systems, determination of tactical technical indicators and effectiveness assessment; organization and management of logistics systems; design of combat command systems; quantitative analysis of strategic issues and war simulation.

In May 1978, at At the suggestion of Qian Xuesen and others, our army began pilot research on military operations research and systems engineering, and the Academy of Military Sciences established the first military operations research and analysis institution. Today, military operations research and military systems engineering have been used in our army's strategy and tactics. , military establishment system and force structure research have been widely used and achieved fruitful results.

As for my country's national defense strategy, Qian Xuesen put forward a series of important suggestions that are overall, forward-looking and feasible. He pointed out in the 1980s that "small battles" in local areas may be our main form of warfare by the beginning of the 21st century. In order to build some elite troops that must be retained in peacetime and can fight immediately, we should carefully organize the army from , equipment to solve this problem. These suggestions have been highly valued by the military leadership and have now been reflected in practice. He also put forward many important suggestions for the reform and development of our country's national defense strategy and military industry. The viewpoint that "military-civilian integration" should be implemented, while civilian enterprises should implement "civilian-military integration", and the viewpoint of using "flexible automated production systems" to reform military industrial enterprises provide guidance for the reform of my country's military industrial enterprises and the wartime mobilization preparations of civilian enterprises. Important ideas.

In his later years, Qian Xuesen also emphasized the need for interdisciplinary research in military science. In 1999, he pointed out to the leaders of the General Assembly and the Academy of Military Sciences who came to visit him that the development of science is inseparable. Various disciplines intersect, interact and learn from each other. National defense construction is a large system and encounters all big problems in practice. However, experts often look at problems from the perspective of their own majors, which has great limitations and should be applied. Promoting mutual exchanges and discussions among various disciplines.

Pursuing the long-term development of China's military high technology and military modernization is Qian Xuesen's lifelong wish. Scientists’ forward-looking vision has provided lofty insights on the cultivation of scientific and technological talents for national defense and the military. Since 1985, Qian Xuesen has repeatedly talked about the topic of “scientific and technological talents”: “Now it is required to cultivate a group of scientific and technological talents, namely. They are a group of engineers, scientists and thinkers"; "When leading talents to achieve a clear goal, they should be able to consider everything from basic applications to engineering practice." Qian Xuesen supports new disciplines and supports marginal disciplines, every day. Innovative ideas and ideas can be encouraged. He said: “Innovative thinking should be promoted and whether it is correct or not should be tested by practice. ”

As early as 1986, Qian Xuesen believed that the high-tech revolution will inevitably bring about the rapid development of military technology, and the military will become a knowledge-intensive department. In future wars, various advanced weapon systems will be widely used, and battlefields The situation is complex, which puts forward higher requirements for the scientific, technological, cultural and military literacy of commanders. After analyzing the educational levels of foreign military and our military officers, he keenly pointed out that in order to cope with possible wars in the future, military cadres should gradually reach college or above. As for the educational level, divisional cadres should have a master's degree, military cadres should have a doctorate, and the educational level of soldiers should also be improved accordingly. His foresight and foresight are highly valued by the Central Military Commission and the headquarters.

He is 90 years old this year. Qian Xuesen is still concerned about the progress of high-tech national defense and military modernization. He told the leading comrades of the Central Military Commission who came to visit him that they must pay close attention to the research on scientific and technological development strategies and the construction of talent teams. The reporter saw in Qian's hometown. The most conspicuous place on the bookshelf directly opposite the couch is a model of the "Shenzhou" spacecraft.

Through the flying Shenzhou, his wise eyes will always be watching the soaring future of the motherland.

Sacrifice one's life to block the hole of the gun——Super hero Huang Jiguang

(2000.10.19 11:02:04)

Super hero Huang Jiguang, Zhongjiang County, Sichuan Province people. Born on January 8, 1931 in a poor peasant family. He lost his father when he was young and his family was poor. In 1949, his hometown was liberated. He actively participated in the Peasants' Association and the militia and was very active in his work. He twice exposed the landlord's lies about land and illegally changed the tenancy contract. He also captured a fugitive landlord alive and confiscated two pistols hidden by the fake security chief. .

After the outbreak of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, Huang Jiguang resolutely joined the Chinese People's Volunteers in March 1951. When he was about to leave his hometown, his mother happily brought a big red flower to his chest and said to him: "When you get to North Korea, you must kill more enemies and repay the motherland and the people." With her mother's instructions and the people With high expectations, Huang Jiguang came to the Korean front line and was assigned to the 2nd Battalion of the 135th Regiment of the 45th Division of the 15th Volunteer Army as a correspondent. Although he is working as a correspondent, he always thinks about learning more skills and training himself hard. He works hard, studies seriously, and makes rapid progress. On July 25, 1952, he gloriously joined the New Democratic Youth League of China.

On October 14, 1952, the US invading army began to launch a crazy attack on the 597.9 and 537.7 Beishan highlands of Shangganling. Shangganling is located on the Five Sacred Mountains in central Korea. It is the gate to the center line of the Volunteer Army and a steel knife that pierces the enemy's heart. In particular, the two highlands in the northern mountains of the Shangganling area penetrated the front of the enemy's position like wedges, posing a great threat to the enemy. On the small highland of Shangganling, which is less than 4 square kilometers, the enemy mobilized more than two divisions of troops. With the cooperation of a large number of aircraft, tanks and artillery, they continued to madly attack 537.7 Highlands and 597.9 Highlands. The sound of artillery fire on the moonlit night Rumbling and smoke filled the air, the volunteers launched a fierce battle with the enemy. After the battle started, Huang Jiguang was responsible for delivering letters, conveying orders, answering telephone lines, and carrying the wounded under artillery fire. We spent 4 days and 4 nights under the enemy's artillery blockade.

On the evening of October 19th. Huang Jiguang's battalion was ordered to counterattack at Highland 597.9 on the right side of Shangganling. The 6th Company was ordered to capture Position 6 in advance, and then Positions 5 and 4. Position 0 must be captured before dawn to lay the foundation for the victory of the entire counterattack. Once the battle began, it went more smoothly than expected. At this time, it was suddenly discovered that there was an enemy group firepower point on the top of the mountain, which suppressed the volunteer troops and prevented them from advancing. The battalion chief of staff immediately ordered the 6th company to blow it up and organize a demolition team. From 7:30 p.m. to 10:30 p.m., the 6th Company had launched five charges against the enemy, but the enemy's firepower was still not destroyed, and many soldiers died heroically. At this time, there were only more than 40 minutes until dawn. Failure to capture position 0 would mean that the combat mission had not been completed as planned, and the victory of the entire counterattack would be affected. At this critical moment, Huang Jiguang, who was standing next to the chief of staff, stood up and demanded firmly: "Give me the task. As long as I have breath, I promise to complete the task." The chief of staff said with great confidence: "Huang Jiguang, this mission Leave it to you, now I order you to be the acting squad leader of the 6th Squadron of the 6th Company. You must complete the mission!" After accepting the mission, he immediately put on the grenade and led his two comrades to crawl towards the enemy's firepower point. They took advantage of the bright light of the flares and advanced skillfully. The enemy did not notice them at first. When they were only more than 30 meters away from the enemy's fire point, two comrades fell one after another. Huang Jiguang's left arm and left shoulder were shot twice, and he was bleeding profusely, but he still kept moving forward toward the enemy's central firepower point. When there were only eight or nine meters left, he puffed out his chest and raised his right hand to throw a grenade at the enemy. However, due to the excessive firepower, only half of it was blown up. The two machine guns that were not blown up were fired from the remaining shooting holes. Stretching out, roaring desperately, the charge of the volunteers was blocked again. Huang Jiguang was injured again and fell down.

At this time, the sky was about to break, and the 40-minute deadline was about to come. Huang Jiguang jumped up, pointed at the muzzle of the gun that was spitting out tongues of fire, and pointed at the stubborn fortress of the invader. He puffed up his chest, opened his arms, and pounced. Go up... The spitting tongues of fire suddenly went out, and the roaring machine guns became silent. Huang Jiguang used his young life to open up a path for the volunteers to advance victoriously.

In an instant, Dan Ren’s comrades on the attack mission rushed out like arrows from a string, shouting "Come on! Revenge for Huang Jiguang"! They followed the path Huang Jiguang crawled and quickly occupied position 0. The two enemy battalions guarding the high ground, more than 1,200 people, were all annihilated.

In order to commend Huang Jiguang's great spirit and immortal meritorious service, the commander of the Volunteer Army Peng Dehuai issued an order to posthumously record special merit for Huang Jiguang once and award him the title of "Super Hero". The 15th Military Committee of the Communist Party of China Volunteer Army ratified him as a "model league member" and at the same time ratified Huang Jiguang as a member of the Communist Party of China. The Standing Committee of the Supreme People's Assembly of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea posthumously awarded Huang Jiguang the title of "Hero of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea", and also posthumously awarded him the Gold Star Medal and the First-Class National Flag Medal.

Huang Jiguang’s name and glorious deeds are engraved on the Five Sacred Mountains behind Shangganling. His heroic feats and immortal achievements will last forever like the majestic Five Sacred Mountains. (End)

The Siege of Berlin (1)

While we walked back along the Elysée Pastoral Avenue with Dr. Wei, we looked towards the walls that were riddled with shells, The history of the siege of Paris is explored on pavements pockmarked by machine gun fire. When we were approaching the Star Square, the doctor stopped, pointed to one of the magnificent high-rise buildings surrounding the Arc de Triomphe, and said to me:

"You see the closed door on that balcony?" Four windows? At the beginning of August, that terrible August full of storms and disasters, I was called to treat a patient who had suffered a sudden stroke. He was Colonel Joupe, a soldier of the Napoleonic Empire, who had served in honor. He is a stubborn old man in terms of patriotism. As soon as the war started, he moved to the Elysée and lived in a room with a balcony. Guess why? It turned out to be to watch the triumphal return ceremony of our troops... This poor thing Old man! He was leaving the dinner table when the news of the tragic defeat of Wissembourg reached his home. When he read Napoleon's name under the battle report announcing the defeat, he fell to the ground as if he was struck by lightning.

"When I got there, the old soldier was lying upright on the carpet in the room, his face red and his expression dull, as if he had just been hit in the head. If he stood up, he would be very tall; now lying down, he still looks very tall. He has regular and beautiful features, beautiful teeth, and curly white hair. He looks only sixty years old when he is eighty years old... His granddaughter knelt beside him, with tears streaming down her face. She looks a lot like him, and looking at them together, it can be said that they are like two ancient Greek coins cast from the same mold, except that one is very old, stained with dirt, and has worn edges, while the other is dazzling and clean. Bright, completely retaining the color and smoothness of new casting.

"I was deeply moved by the pain of this girl. She was a soldier two generations later, her father served on the staff of Marshal MacMahon. The image of this burly old man lying in front of her, There was always another, equally terrible thought of her father. I tried my best to comfort her, but I didn't have much hope that what we were dealing with was a serious case of hemiplegia. This disease was contracted at the age of eighty, and it was completely incurable. As a matter of fact, for three days, the patient was unconscious and motionless... Within these few days, Lei She came again. You must still remember how the news came. Until that evening, we thought we had won a great victory, annihilated 20,000 Prussian troops, and captured the Prussian Crown Prince... I don't know. Due to some miracle and some electric current, the joyous sound of the whole country spread to our poor deaf and mute patient, and penetrated into his paralytic hallucinations. In short, that night, when I approached him. When I was at the bedside, the patient I saw was no longer the same patient.

His eyes were bright and his tongue was less stiff. He actually had the energy to smile at me and stammered twice:

"'We won...!'

"'Yes, Colonel, A great victory!'

"When I told him the details of Marshal Mike Mahon's glorious victory, I found that his eyebrows broadened and the expression on his face brightened. .

"As soon as I walked out of the room, the young girl was standing by the door waiting for me. She was pale and sobbing.

"'He is out of danger!' I held her hands to comfort her.

"The poor girl barely had the courage to answer me. It turned out that the true situation of the Battle of Reshefen had just been announced. Marshal Mike Mahon escaped and the entire army was wiped out... She and I looked at each other in horror. She was worried about her father, and I was worried about my grandfather's condition. There is no doubt that he can no longer bear this new blow... So, what to do? ...You can only make him happy and keep him alive with this fantasy of resurrecting him...But then you have to lie to him...

"'Okay, I'll lie to him !’ the brave girl volunteered to tell me, wiping away her tears, pretending to be beaming, and walked into her grandfather’s room.

“This is a very difficult task for her. The first few days were easy to deal with. This good old man's mind is not very sound, and he is like a child who is being coaxed. However, as his health gradually recovered, his thinking became increasingly clear. This requires explaining to him clearly the activities of the armies on both sides and preparing daily battle reports for him. This beautiful little girl looked really pitiable. She lay on the map of Germany day and night, inserting some small flags here and there, trying to fabricate a glorious battle; one moment it was Marshal Bazin marching towards Berlin, At one moment, General Froissart invaded Bavaria, and at another moment, Marshal MacMahon advanced into the Baltic Sea coast. In order to make the fabrication come alive, she always asked for my advice, and I helped her as much as possible. However, in this fictional offensive, the person who helped us the most was the old grandfather himself. You know, he had fought in Germany so many times during the Napoleonic Empire! He knew in advance any military actions of the other party: 'Now, they are going to advance here... You see, they are going to act like this... 'As a result, his predictions were all realized without exception, which of course inevitably made him a little proud.

"Unfortunately, although we conquered many cities and fought many victories, we could never keep up with his appetite. This old man was simply greedy... Every day when I arrived at his house, You will definitely hear about a new military victory:

"'Doctor, we have captured Mayans again!" The young girl said to me with a wry smile on her face. As I opened the door, I heard a cheerful voice in the room shouting to me:

"'Very good, very good... We will enter Berlin in eight days!'

"Actually, the Prussian army is only eight days away from Paris... At first we discussed moving him to the provinces; but as soon as he went out, the real situation in France would make everything clear to him. I think he was too weak physically and mentally from a severe stroke to understand what was really going on. So we decided to let him stay in Paris.

“On the first day of the siege of Paris, I went to his house. I remember that I was very excited that day and felt very anxious. At that time, all the gates of Paris were closed, the enemy was approaching, and the national borders were closed. Zoom out to the suburbs and everyone is panicking.

When I entered, this good old man was sitting on his bed and said to me happily:

"'Hey! The siege has finally begun!'

"I looked at it in amazement. Him:

"'What, Colonel, you know?...'

"His granddaughter quickly turned to me and said:

"'Yes. !Doctor...this is good news, the siege of Berlin has begun!'

"She was doing needlework while saying this, her movements were so calm and calm...how could the old man have doubts? ?He could not hear the cannon noise of the carnage. He could not see the unhappy city of Paris, which was turned upside down and devastated. All he could see from his bed was a glimpse of the Arc de Triomphe, and a large collection of shabby Napoleonic relics surrounding his room effectively maintained his fantasies. Portraits of Napoleon's marshals, woodcuts depicting battles, pictures of the Roman king as a baby; and a tall long table inlaid with carved copper ornaments, on which were displayed the relics of the empire, such as coats of arms and small bronze statues. The rocks on the island of St. Helena are under a glass dome, and there are some small portraits of the same lady with curly hair and lively eyebrows. She is wearing a dancing dress and a yellow robe. Big sleeves and tight cuffs - all of it, the long case, the Roman kings, the marshals, the lady in yellow, the tall, high-belted lady in yellow with the dignity so beloved in 1806 Madame... created an atmosphere of victory and conquest, more powerful than the lies we told him, the good colonel, who so naively believed that French troops were laying siege to Berlin.

The Siege of Berlin (2)

“From this day on, our military operations have been greatly simplified. It is only a matter of time to capture Berlin. After some time, as long as The old man was getting impatient, so we read him a letter from his son. Of course, the letter was a forgery, because Paris was already besieged and, after the defeat of Sedan, Marshal Mac Mahon The staff had been captured and taken to a certain fortress in Germany. You can imagine how painful this poor girl was. She didn't get any news from her father. She only knew that he had been captured and deprived of everything. She was still ill, but she had to pretend to be in his tone and write cheerful letters; of course the letters were short, and a soldier who was marching victoriously in a conquered country could only write such short letters. At that time, she couldn't hold on anymore, so there was no letter for several weeks. The old man was anxious and couldn't sleep, so soon another letter came from Germany, and she came to his bedside and couldn't bear it. Tears, the old man listened solemnly, smiled understandingly, nodded in approval, criticized, and explained to us the unclear parts of the letter. His special nobility is reflected in his reply to his son: 'You must never forget that you are French...be lenient to those poor people and do not make them feel that our occupation is offensive. Unbearable...' The letter is full of endless instructions, about protecting private property, respecting women, and a lot of admirable words. In short, it is a book specially prepared for conquerors. A true manual of military honor. Sometimes, he also included some general views on politics and the conditions for peace in his letters. On this issue, I should say, his conditions were not harsh: "As long as war reparations are paid, nothing else." They don't want anything... What's the use of cutting off their provinces? Can we turn Germany into France?...'

" When he dictated these words, his tone was very firm. , you can feel that his words are full of innocent feelings, and his noble patriotism cannot help but make people deeply moved.

"During this period, the siege became tighter and tighter. Alas, it was not the siege of Berlin!... It was the severe cold season, with constant artillery bombardment, plague, and famine. But, fortunately, we With careful care and meticulous care, the old man's resting life was not disturbed for a moment.

Until the most difficult times, I managed to get him white bread and fresh meat. Of course only he can eat these foods. It's hard to imagine anything more touching than the scene of the old grandfather having a meal, enjoying himself selfishly but being kept in the dark: He was sitting on the bed, his face red, smiling, and wearing a Napkins; the little granddaughter, whose face was pale due to lack of food, sat beside him, held his hand, helped him drink soup, and helped him eat the good food that no one else could eat. After the meal, the old man was full of energy and the room was warm. A cold north wind was blowing outside and snowflakes were flying in front of the window. The old soldier recalled the battles he had participated in in the north, so he told us again for the hundredth time. Talking about the ill-fated retreat from Russia, when they only had frozen biscuits and horse meat to eat.

“‘Can you feel it? Little guy, we could only eat horse meat at that time!’

“I believe his granddaughter understands it deeply. In the past two months, she had eaten nothing but horsemeat... But as each day passed, as the old man regained his health, it became more and more difficult for us to take care of him. In the past, he was sluggish and paralyzed, which kept us in the dark, but now that's starting to change. Two or three times the terrible volley in front of the Gate Maillot made him jump and prick up his ears like a hound; we had to invent that Marshal Bazin had won another decisive victory at the gates of Berlin, just now. It was the Invalides who fired cannons in celebration. Another day, we pushed his bed to the window. I think that day was the Thursday when the bloody battle of Busenwa took place, and he clearly saw the National Guards gathering on the avenue.

"'What kind of army is this?' he asked. Then we heard him complain softly:

"'The clothes are too untidy, the clothes are too untidy!'

p>

"He said nothing else; but we immediately understood that we had to be extra careful in the future. Unfortunately, we were not careful enough.

"One evening I went to his house When I arrived, the girl greeted me in a hurry:

"'They will enter the city tomorrow!" she said to me.

"Whether the door of the old grandfather's room was open at that time?" Anyway, now that I think about it, after we talked about it, the old man’s look was indeed a bit special that night. Maybe he heard our conversation. It's just that we are talking about the Prussian army; and this well-intentioned man was thinking about the French army, thinking it was his long-awaited triumphal ceremony-Marshal MacMahon, surrounded by flowers and playing drums, marched along the Boulevard Walking over, his son walked beside the marshal; he himself stood on the balcony, neatly dressed in military uniform, just like he did in Luzhen, saluting the national flag covered with bullet marks and the eagle flag blackened by gunpowder smoke... …

"Poor old man Joupe! He must have thought that we wanted to prevent him from watching the triumphal procession of our army in order to prevent him from being too excited, so he didn't talk about it to anyone; but the first The next morning, just as the Prussian army was cautiously advancing along the road from Porte Maillot to the Tuileries Palace, the upstairs window slowly opened, and the colonel appeared on the balcony, with a military helmet on his head and a waistband. Carrying a saber and wearing the glorious and ancient uniform of Milhaud's old cavalry, I still can't figure out what kind of will and what kind of sudden vitality enabled him to stand up and be so fully dressed. Indeed, he was standing there, just behind the railing. He was surprised that the road was so empty and silent. The shutters of every house were closed tightly. Paris was desolate, like a quarantine station for infectious diseases in the port. Everywhere They were all hung with flags, but the flags were so weird, all white with red crosses on them, and no one came out to welcome our team.

"For a moment, he thought he had made a mistake...

"But no! Over there, just behind the Arc de Triomphe, there was an inaudible noise, and under the rising sun, a dark team drove over... Slowly, the peaks on the military helmets were shining, yeah The small bronze drum they were carrying also started beating, and under the Arc de Triomphe, Schubert's Victory March sounded, along with the cumbersome steps of the procession and the clash of sabers accompanying the rhythm of the music! ...

"So, in the desolate silence on the square, a cry was heard, a stern cry: 'Get weapons quickly... Get weapons quickly... Prussians.' At this time, the outpost troops The first four cavalrymen could see a tall old man waving his arms, staggering, and finally falling straight down. This time, Colonel Rufo was really dead. " /p>

Appreciation of the work

"The Siege of Berlin" is another short story masterpiece by Doude. The novel takes the Franco-Prussian War of 1870 as the background and narrates the patriotic story of an ordinary French soldier, Colonel Jouffer, during the Prussian army's siege of Paris, creating a tragic image of a French soldier with a strong spirit of patriotism. The novel has a novel concept, and the original "Siege of Paris" was renamed "The Siege of Berlin". The plot is cleverly arranged. Through the story of a sick old soldier, it contrasts the painful reality of Paris being besieged and captured by Prussia with the hero's imagination of the French army's victory in conquering Berlin. It not only deeply expresses the character's strong patriotism, but also makes the novel more interesting. It has a touching tragic color. The style is euphemistic and delicate, the language is simple and unpretentious, and the length is short and concise, which are also the artistic characteristics of this novel. From the perspective of artistic ingenuity and ideological profundity, the novel can be called a patriotic masterpiece among the world's short stories.
