老   兵

刘建超

①老兵是个粗人,1948年6月,老兵跟随华东野战军挺进中原,解放古城开封时,他担任爆破分队的队长。开封守敌长期经营城防工事,形成了永久性的防御体系。城外挖有战壕,深宽各有一丈有余,挖战壕用来加厚城墙。城门外筑有三角地堡群,城外200米以内的住房都拆迁了,形成了一片开阔的地带。老兵负责爆破宋门关。宋门关的守敌仗着城墙墙高壁厚地势险要阻止了部队的进攻。老兵率兵冒着密集的炮火连续两次对城墙实施了爆破,都因威力不足,城墙未炸开。老兵急红了眼,将两个炸药包捆扎在一起,又上。通信员扯住老兵的胳膊:“队长,我去!”老兵一脚把通信员踢开,对机枪手吼着:“你给老子狠狠地打!”机枪手端起机枪,将猛雨般的子弹扫向城头。老兵身捷如猿,左蹿右跳,连滚带爬地摸到了墙根。一声巨响,城墙裂开了个缺口,部队攻上了城头。老兵烤焦的衣裤被子弹弹穿了六七个洞,他却一点也没伤着,老兵拍拍头,十分得意地对自己的部下说:“看到没,子弹也欺软怕硬。”部队开庆功宴,首长点名让老兵发言,老兵背了大半宿的发言词,一登台就忘了个精光,干脆挥一挥手,说:“也没什么了不起的,就是往城墙送了三次炸药包。”笑声比掌声还热烈。

②建国初期,军区办了干部文化补习班,当了团长的老兵又在文化补习班当班长。拿顺了枪的手就是拿不顺笔,每节课老兵都要折断几支铅笔,老兵着急上火,腮帮子肿得老高。教员说,学习像你炸碉堡一样,有困难。只要你有勇气和恒心,没有攻不下的堡垒。老兵心想,说的是呢。便下了狠劲儿,几个月不回家。一天,教员交给老兵一封信,说:“团长,你把收信人和写信人的地址写颠倒了。”老兵摸着头,憨憨地笑着说:“收到没收到也没啥,只是想让你嫂子知道我也能给她写信了。”学员们起哄,拆开了信,信上只有一句话:“老婆子,你吃了吗?”

③补习班有个学员姓王,爱摆老架子。有次他骂了教员。老兵找学员谈话:“你立过几次功?”王学员神气地摆摆头:“三次!”老兵说:“我才立了五次,你立了啥功?”王学员底气不足:“一个一等功,两是二等功。”老兵说:“我才两个特等功,三个一等功。你是啥职务啊?”王学员耷拉下头。老兵说:“打仗立功,敢打敢拼,那是半个本事,能文能武那才是大本事。咱来这儿学习,不就是要学这大本事吗?”

④一晃过了几十年,老兵黑亮亮硬扎扎的头发花白了。他从 * * 的位置上退了下来,每日照例要到熟悉的营区走一走,转一转。营区坐落在临近海滨的东山坡上,站在营区,可以鸟瞰整个城市,营区脚下的那条黄金海岸,每日都被密密麻麻的中外游客铺满。老兵常坐在营区山崖边的岩石上,出神地望着无垠的碧波和如织的游人。

⑤“怎么回事?”老兵被身后的一阵喧哗声吸引。

⑥一位值勤战士跑过来,敬了礼说:“报告首长,这位导游带着几位外国朋友要到营区里游玩,我不放行,他们就闹,还说脏话。”

⑦老兵对导游说:“请你告诉这几位外国朋友,这里是军事重地,游人止步。你们必须向这位士兵道歉。”

⑧导游不屑地瞥了老兵一眼,对外国游客叽咕了一通。

⑨老兵双眉一抖,一把揪住导游的衣领:“你还是个中国人?你让我向他们道歉?”

⑩老兵转向那几位游客,用不流畅的英语说:“我以一名 * * 的名义,要求你们为刚才不礼貌的言行向这位士兵道歉。”

⑾外国游客望着威武的老兵,连连向士兵道:“sorry , sorry 。”

⑿导游嘟哝着:“人家的卫星连陆地上的男女都能分辨清楚,还有什么了不起的秘密。”

⒀老兵提高了嗓门儿:“人家科技发达,难道我们连自己的尊严都不要了吗?你这种混帐话,放在从前,老子敢毙了你!”老兵说着,手习惯摸向了腰间。

⒁导游脸白了,带着几个人匆匆离去。

⒂老兵拍拍士兵的肩头,背着手朝山崖走去。夕阳正浓,余晖似一把神斧,将老兵修凿成一座雕像。
