这是一支伟大的军队,自诞生之日起,他们打败了国民党军队、日本侵略军、以联合国军为名义的美帝国主义军队。这支军队曾先后改名为八路军、新四军、解放军、志愿军,与它的历史相伴随的是一连串辉煌的胜利,它打败了反动者,赶走了侵略者,建立了全新的国家,保卫了自己的主权和领土。由于装备落后,它曾经被人讥讽为“共匪”、“泥腿子”、“土八路”、“小米加步枪”,但它不争辩,只用事实说话。它用敌人的惨败,自己的胜利,证明了自己是世界上最伟大的军队,它就是中国工农红军——创造了一个个奇迹的伟大团队。如果要从红军中找出一句最能表现红军精神的标志性话语,那么,“保证完成任务”就是这样的标志性话语。中国工农红军中指挥官和士兵在接受命令时,都会在行一个标准军礼的同时坚定地说:“保证完成任务!”...

什么也看不到,什么也听不到。 但郑班并不认为是自己昏迷了,他觉得自己很清醒,不过,任凭他怎么睁大眼睛,也看不到一个什么东西,甚至连一丝亮光都看不到;任凭他怎样拼命地收集声波,哪怕把耳朵竖起来,也是什么也听不到,甚至连自己的心跳也听不到,仿佛心脏已经停止了跳动,似乎连心脏都不存在了一样,又觉得自己好像置身于茫茫太空,四周是没有空气没有光亮没有重力的虚无。 死一样的寂静让郑班感到恐怖,他觉得无形之中有一双手卡住了脖子,口干舌燥、呼吸困难。没有重力不分上下浑身轻飘飘的感觉让郑班怀疑自己是否还活着,他觉得如果这种情况再持续10分钟的话,精神肯定要崩溃。 还好,在郑班处于崩溃边缘的时候,眼前出现了一丝光,虽然是那么微弱,但郑班马上就镇静了下来,有光就有希望。 慢慢地,光线越来越亮,郑班慢看到了一片青青的草地,放眼望去,一眼看不到边,全是青色世界。有蝴蝶,有小鸟...
