On the mountain, the radar is spinning, guarding the long sky with vigilance; At the foot of the mountain, tall buildings stand tall, exuding a festive and peaceful atmosphere everywhere. On the eve of the Spring Festival, a radar station of a certain brigade of the Southern Theater Command Air Force welcomed two special guests - Deng Chuanyou, the former commander of a radar company in the predecessor unit, and Li Pingkun, the former instructor. On both sides of the road, the officers and soldiers of the radar station lined up neatly, warmly welcoming the two senior colleagues. The cadre section of the radar station pointed to three medals, including the "four railways" exemplary organization and the military training exemplary organization, and reported good news to the two seniors. Looking at the golden medal, 88 year old Deng Chuanyou worked hard to straighten his body and slowly moved his wheelchair forward; At the age of 82, Li Pingkun raised his right hand tremblingly and saluted with a military salute, excitedly saying, "I am proud of you!" At the end of last year, after winning three honors at the station, the officers and soldiers specially invited two senior veterans to visit their "mother's home" and witness the glorious moment together. A brand new camp, advanced equipment, and energetic officers and soldiers... After returning to the old army after many years, the spirited Deng Chuanyou and Li Pingkun were particularly excited, as if returning home after a long separation. The places where you have fought have undergone earth shaking changes in recent years, with new barracks and facilities, updated weapons and equipment, and significantly improved combat capabilities... "Standing in front of a certain type of equipment, Liu Zhe, a cadre of the radar station, loudly introduced the progress made in the development and construction of the troops in recent years. The brand new equipment shines brightly in the sunlight. Looking at the scene in front of them, the two veterans exclaimed repeatedly, "Your equipment is getting better and better, and you are doing a great job!" During face-to-face communication with the officers and soldiers, Deng Chuanyou carefully took out an old photo with rolled edges and yellowed edges. The young man in the photo is full of vigor and vitality, and the "echo" of the shocking blow more than 60 years ago comes from the depths of history - that day, in the command room of Deng Chuanyou's company, the officers and soldiers on duty suddenly noticed a weak suspicious signal on the screen. Preliminary determination is that it is an unmanned reconnaissance aircraft! "Immediately, the entire company was transferred to first-class combat duty. Quickly, the higher authorities reported that our fighter jets had taken off to intercept, and ordered the company to continuously measure and report the altitude difference between the enemy and our planes, guiding our fighter jets to approach the enemy at a favorable position. At that time, Deng Chuanyou, as a radar operator, calmly controlled the equipment and reported target information with clear commands... Shortly after, the enemy aircraft signal disappeared from the radar screen, and the higher authorities reported that our side had successfully shot down the enemy aircraft! This impressive record has accumulated valuable experience for national air defense operations. Deng Chuanyou was promoted to a higher rank ahead of schedule due to his outstanding performance. In January 1965, as a representative of the radar troops, Deng Chuanyou was honored to be warmly received by Chairman Mao and Premier Zhou. When meeting with us, Premier Zhou asked me where I was from. I heard that I am from Hunan, and Premier Zhou immediately said, 'Hunan people like to eat chili peppers.'. Premier Zhou's kind words instantly relaxed my previously tense mood. Upon learning that I am a radar operator, Premier Zhou said, 'That's the Thousand Mile Eye.' Recalling the scene at that time, Deng Chuanyou's face showed a proud expression, and his voice became even louder. When the enemy plane was discovered, I happened to be on duty too... "Li Pingkun took over the conversation and recounted the thrilling battle experience to the officers and soldiers. After serving as the company commander, Deng Chuanyou transformed the earnest instructions of party and state leaders into a powerful driving force for promoting the comprehensive construction of the company - the brick houses at the beginning of the company were transformed into cement houses by officers and soldiers; There was no power supply in the living area, so the officers and soldiers connected the wires themselves... "As long as you work hard, there is no hurdle that cannot be overcome!" During that period, Deng Chuanyou led the officers and soldiers to work together to build the company into a comprehensive and exemplary radar company. Remembering the history of war, talking about tradition, and talking about building a strong army. Surrounded by officers and soldiers, the two old heroes arrived at the honor room of the radar station. The old man's gaze lingered on the medals for a long time, looking particularly focused. Liu Zhe introduced to two senior officials that in recent years, all officers and soldiers in the station have consciously inherited the fine tradition of "holding onto the faith of revolutionary positions, holding onto the responsibility of spiritual highlands, and holding onto strategic locations with courage", constantly honing the courage of "doing first, striving to win the championship". In front of the plaque of the "First Class Radar Station", Deng Chuanyou took out a letter from his pocket addressed to all the officers and soldiers of the station. In the letter, he deeply reminisced about his military career and encouraged everyone to continue the tradition and inherit the good style, making new and greater contributions to the cause of strengthening the military. Looking at the young officers and soldiers on the scene, Deng Chuanyou said emotionally, "You must study hard and practice hard to become the air and space sentinels of our country." Listening to the deep instructions of the old hero, Zhang Wenjun, a radar operator and first level sergeant who had participated in multiple combat training missions, had red eyes. He tightly held the hand of the old hero and solemnly promised, 'Please rest assured that we will spare no effort to forge the' Warning Blade ', so that all invading enemies have nowhere to hide.' The hero returned to camp and inherited his bloodline. After 60 years of wind and frost, the revolutionary spirit of the old heroes has inspired generations of officers and soldiers, inspiring them to continue writing new chapters of building a strong and prosperous military with firm beliefs and high spirits. Before parting, Deng Chuanyou and Li Pingkun, two old partners, took a group photo in front of a stone monument in the camp. After exchanging greetings and cherishing each other, the two old heroes also made an appointment with the officers and soldiers to meet again when spring is warm and the flowers are blooming. Line up, salute, and the officers and soldiers stand tall, watching the two old heroes leave. On the radio, the resounding military bugle sounded, and the two veteran soldiers turned around together, unwilling to leave for a long time... (News Agency)
