"Labour closes " (Gung Ho) it is a catchword, it is a kind of thought more, it is American draws lessons from concept of Chinese direct troops, in the direct troops concept that carries out in the Marine Corps, and still by dictionary of formal income United States.
American Marine Corps is accepted elite army, team member often professes " the person is not much, very proud (The Few, the Proud) " , be " labour joins a soldier (Gung Ho Soldiers) " , here " labour closes " come from Chinese Chinese."Labour closes (Gung Ho) " one word, in the United States " Webster university dictionary (the 11st edition) " medium definition is:
1, (Chinese mandarin) Chinese industry cooperation (1942) abbreviation; 2, exceeding excitement and excited.
" new English-Chinese dictionary (century edition) " the definition is: (beautiful) make concerted efforts, enthusiastic, fanaticism is waited a moment.
"Labour closes " on behalf of a kind of spirit, come from concept of direct troops of the Eight Route Army of Yu Yanan periodInitial stage of war of resistance against aggression, er of card of Captain of American Marine Corps inferiors (Evans F.Carlson) the lot that gets Luo Sifu's president, come to China battlefield makes an on-the-spot investigation, how does his Ceng Quyan inspect the bushfighting fighting day of my party leader to contend for with China north. The leader such as Mao Zedong, Zhu De, Liu Baicheng, Deng Xiaoping, Nie Rongzhen ever grew to it talk, communicate direct troops and experience of war of resistance against aggression.
Through making an on-the-spot investigation meticulously seriously, ka Erxun is in 1938 spring in the personal letter that gives Luo Sifu the president bold prophecy, chinese Communist and the army that its lead not only can conquer Japan aggressor, and also can defeat Kuomintang.Ka Erxun such self-confidence, it is the effort that because of him saw with one's own eyes saw my party leads war of resistance against aggression of the Eight Route Army, experienced the direct troops concept of the Eight Route Army, he thinks crucial part has at 3 o'clock, want to carry out politics to teach, let be a soldier know why to fight; 2 it is to should execute martial democracy, make a soldier decision-making to the military affairs as far as possible participate in or know the inside story, win following credit; 3 it is to should do good masses work, relationship of fish and water of the army and the people is crucial to the action of guerrilla warfare war.
Ka Erxun discovers, the just that American army lacks is this at 3 o'clock. After returning home, ka Erxun tries to use thought of direct troops of the Eight Route Army to train American Marine Corps group of the 2nd assault, call this law " labour combines drive " ."Labour combines drive " training achievement is very outstanding. 1942 summer, ka Erxun leads group of the 2nd assault to be in south Pacific Ocean Ma Jindao and Japanese army struggle hard, battle call a power and prestige, let this army win " Ka Erxun commando (Carlson Raiders) " good name.
Pacific Ocean war erupts at that time before long, because Pearl Harbor incident has,this the victory is stricken American, expect long already victory, more reflected the United States' tenacious and castiron battle spirit, great invigorated U.S. Army morale, this one a specific example of a battle is patted technically still the film, "Labour closes " spirit one battle becomes famous, praise fall all over the sky, still be included English dictionary later, it may be said is far-reaching. Still having a kind of very humorous and humor view is, of Ka Erxun " labour closes " catchword learns to come from Chinese soldier.Ka Erxun ever asked a China the soldier on battlefield: "Why should you fight? Why is your brethren afraid of death? Why is your brethren afraid of death??
That person answers " save -- country! That person answers " save -- country!!
Ka Erxun asks again: "How you save the nation then? "How you save the nation then??
Ka Erxun " give full cooperation, do not be afraid of death, can defeat devil. Can defeat devil..
", force, close, make? " Kaerxun was not understood.
"Labour -- close! " that person simplifies 4 words into two words again.
"Labour closes! Labour closes! Can defeat Japanese " these two words left deep impression in Ka Erxun heart, when fighting after Kaerxun's leatherneck then, shouting " labour closes " fierce assault of 2 words brave, yield Japanese become terror-stricken at the news.
This is a kind of draw wrong conclusions by false analogy apparently say. Because be in in Feburary 1943, when group of the 2nd assault establishs American Marine Corps one year, ka Erxun was published formally about " labour combines drive " complete battle blast admonition (full text sees figure below) , this is not a simple assault catchword apparently, however concept of a kind of direct troops.Found " labour combines drive " Kaerxun accomplishs brigadier of American Marine Corps, retired due to illness 1946, have " Chinese double star " , narrate a country in all the story that two parties collaboration fights day. To commemorate him, american navy atttacked naval vessel to name in the amphibious that build in August 2007 for " Ma Jindao date " , have on badge of this ship naval vessel " labour closes " English phoneticize.
Long-term since, we think we are backward all the time, learning to advanced United States all the time. But actually, the United States also is learning China, we do not have necessary improperly belittle oneself, compare with modest photograph, what we lack is more self-confident.I am the Di Fei Jing of dedicated history culture, the welcome pays close attention to me!
