Chapter 70: Qin Zhen's Death

On the way to the Alps, Stale Wind told me the news from home.

Qin Zhen was injured by the special forces of the Asan State while patrolling the border.

Perhaps it was because he knew that the army of the Immortal God Realm had arrived at the border, and the troops of the Asan Kingdom used special armor-piercing bullets. Qin Zhen was shot in multiple places, including two fatal wounds in the neck, and he collapsed at that time, and is now being rescued in the Plateau Military Hospital.

Rushing from the Special Administrative Region to the snowy plateau is the nearest road at present. So we traveled overnight, didn't even go to the shepherd's hut, and after breaking up with the stagnation wind, we entered the special zone directly from the secret realm of the gods, and after meeting with Qiao Zhijun and Hans in the fourth level, we took Xiao Xu and Wang Keke in the third level, and the group crossed the road of ascending immortals non-stop.

When we were having dinner in the Lingqian Village Building, Lao Liu heard about this and joined our convoy, taking the only seven veterans of the Longshou Mountain Special Meritorious Division, on the large transport plane at the Longshou Mountain base, and headed towards the snowy plateau.

Along the way, my face was grim, and no one dared to talk to me. Finally, Wang Keke sat down next to me and said to me, "Don't be too sad. ”

I grabbed her hand and said, "I shouldn't have allowed him to go to the border." ”

Wang Keke didn't speak, just silently clenched my hand. She knows my feelings for this old man I have always treated as an elder, and since I was a child, I have no father or mother, and I respect Uncle Qin, an old man who knows my parents well, as if I were my own parents. What's more, this is an old man who has been fighting for the country in the other world for decades since he was in his twenties, and he didn't even leave any descendants of his own.

When I arrived at the border, the cadres above the division level of the Second Army were already waiting for me in the military hospital. When they saw me, they all bowed their heads, I ignored them and walked straight into the intensive care unit.

Seeing Qin Zhen, who was gray-haired, full of tubes, and was sleeping soundly, I couldn't help but have red eyes.

The Immortal Realm Medical Sect Elder who came with Zhou Huai'an took action to check Qin Zhen's condition, and asked about the situation of the military doctor of the Snowy Land Group Army. Zhou Huai'an said softly behind me, "Your Highness." ”

I turned around and walked out of the ward, and the elder of the medical sect said to me, "Your Highness, Chief Executive Qin is a fake immortal, and he could have lived a long life. But because he was injured too much when he was young, his origin has been broken, and he has been overworked recently, he has reached the end of the strong crossbow, and this wound is enough to be fatal, and he is currently just hanging in one breath, I am afraid that it will be in these few days. His Royal Highness mourns. ”

I nodded and said, "There is Elder Lao." ”

The attending physician also said to me: "Chief, judging from the current medical means, it is a miracle that Commander Qin has been able to support it until now. ”

I said, "I know, thank you." Then he turned to the officers and said, "Raise your heads and go back to prepare for battle." Everyone cheered up, hurriedly saluted me, turned around and hurried out.

I said to Wang Keke and the others, "Let me and Xiao Xu stay alone with Uncle Qin for a while." Wang Keke hugged me and went out with everyone.

Walking into the ward, Xiao Xu moved a chair, I sat down in front of the bed, Xiao Xu stood behind me and said, "Dad, mourn." ”

I nodded and reached out to hold Qin Zhen's hands. What kind of pair of hands is this, the palms are thick and have a thick layer of calluses, and the bone joints are thick and prominent, which are the traces left by the perennial practice of external hard skills. I looked at Qin Zhen, who seemed to be dozens of years older than when he was in the Special Administrative Region, and his forehead and neck were covered with layers of wrinkles.

As if sensing something, Qin Zhen opened his glasses, looked at me for a while, and said, "Your Highness, you are here." ”

I nodded and said, "Xiao Xu and I are here, Wang Keke is also outside, and Miao Min is still in the Sheila enclave, so I couldn't rush back." ”

Qin Zhen smiled hard and said, "What are you doing with such a good teacher, for such a bad old man as me, and ask Wang Keke to come over too." ”

Xiao Xu said: "Grandpa Qin, this is as it should be. ”

Qin Zhen's face turned ruddy, and he said with a smile: "Your Highness, Your Highness, don't be sad, I know my own situation, after all, so many years of immortals are not in vain." In my life, it is very exciting, Yu Gong, I have guarded the three passes for the motherland for decades, and I have a clear conscience. Yu private, in fact, my life was handed over to the battalion commander more than forty years ago, and now there is His Royal Highness and Little Highness in the Immortal God Realm, I can finally report to the battalion commander and the teacher with confidence, I am very happy. ”

I smiled hard and said, "Uncle Qin, for so many years, I have always regarded you as my elder, and Xiao Xu also worships you as his godfather, his first son will be surnamed Qin." ”

Qin Zhen became excited, coughed violently twice, and said, "This is overstepping, Your Highness." ”

Xiao Xu said: "Grandpa Qin, you used to jokingly let me send you to the end of your old age, we should do this." ”

Qin Zhen gasped and struggled to sit up, Xiao Xu quickly shook the bed, and I took a pillow behind him.

Qin Zhen gasped and said, "Your Highness, a person is about to die, and his words are also good. I have a few words I would like to explain. ”

I nodded and said, "Uncle Qin, I'm listening." ”

Qin Zhen said with difficulty: "First, don't be angry about my death, at present, there is no movement on the front line of the snowy border of Nepal, and those troops of the Asan country are actually not worried. ”

I nodded and said, "I understand, I have already spoken to the Military Commission on the phone this time, and the Military Commission means that we should attack Nepal first, so as to contain the Nepalese people on the front line of the capital, and the capital is very difficult." ”

Qin Zhen nodded with satisfaction, and said slowly: "Second, the first line of the Arctic ice field in the Special Administrative Region, I have been sending expeditions to explore over the years, although most of them have gone and have not returned, but there is a person who came back not long ago, specifically you ask Director Fan, he is now on the front line of the Arctic ice field." ”

I nodded and said, "Okay, the border matter is settled, I'll go to the Arctic ice field." ”

Qin Zhen coughed violently a few times before continuing: "The third thing is a private matter, I request that my ashes be scattered in Lingqian Pass, where the bones of the three hundred brothers of my special combat camp are buried. ”

I nodded solemnly and said, "I will establish a cemetery of martyrs in the Immortal God Realm there to commemorate the martyrs who fought for the country and sacrificed their lives to defend the Immortal God Realm." ”

Qin Zhen smiled and said, "It's very good, Your Highness still has important matters, let's go get busy first, I'm tired and want to take a break." ”

I said to Xiao Xu, "You are here to accompany Grandpa Qin." Xiao Xu nodded.

Walking out of the ward, I said to Wang Keke, Hans and Lao Liu: "I'll leave it to you here, please ask Uncle Liu to take some ideas." Lao Liu understood that what I was talking about was Qin Zhen's death, nodded and said, "I understand." I turned to Lisin and said, "You rush back to Fengqi City to help the Devourer stabilize the situation in the Special Administrative Region." Lisin nodded, didn't speak, and turned to walk out. Then I said to Qiao Zhijun and Zhou Huai'an: "Let's go to the former enemy headquarters. ”

In the car, I said to Qiao Zhijun: "Is the handover of the First Group Army clear?" In the secret realm of the gods, I have reported to the central authorities and received approval, Wu Lie took over as the commander of the First Group Army, and Qiao Zhijun was transferred to the commander of the Second Group Army.

Qiao Zhijun nodded and said: "The handover is clear, Wu Lie has a little emotion, Commander Qin has a good personal relationship with Chairman Yan, and treats him like a nephew." He asked me to convey an application to His Highness, and the 300,000 soldiers of the First Army asked for the expedition. ”

I was silent for a moment and said, "The First Army will be used soon." ”

When they arrived at the former enemy headquarters, the officers had been sitting on their ponies and waiting for a long time.

I walked over to the podium with a big screen and looked at the people below. All the officers stood up and saluted me, and one officer said: "Report, all the cadres above the division level of the Second Group Army of the Immortal God Realm Special Administrative Region and the Frontier Group Army of the Western Theater are here, please give a lecture to Your Highness." Yun Chang'an, commander of the Fourth Army of the Second Group Army of the Immortal God Realm Special Administrative Region. ”

I said solemnly, "Sit down." ”

The officers sat down, and I glanced at all the officers, some of their eyes were still red, and more of them showed strong murderous intent.

I picked up the teapot on the table, but there was no water in it. An officer hurriedly came over with a kettle and poured me water.

After taking a sip of water, I said slowly, "What are you talking about? I only have orders here." ”

A soldier stood up with a "rub" and said, "Please give an order to Commissioner Xu." ”

I looked at this big man who was more than 1.9 meters tall and his face was flushed and said, "Which unit are you from?"

Dahan said: "Report to Commissioner Xu, Gu Changfeng, commander of the 100th Division of the 79th Army of the Western Theater Frontier Group Army. ”

I nodded and said, "Master Gu, please take a seat." ”

After Gu Changfeng sat down, I said, "I know that this time Commander Qin was attacked, everyone was very angry, because the Asan Kingdom was an undeclared war. But ......," I raised my voice and said, "The central government has the consideration of the central government, and the military takes it as its duty to obey orders. So now I announce the operational order for the coming period. Today, the front commander will come up with a battle preparation plan, you have one day to prepare, and one day later, launch an attack on Nepal from the border direction, and be sure to advance to the line of Kathman, the capital of Nepal, within a week and occupy all the cities east of Kathman, and I will announce a declaration of punishment war against Ahsan in Kathman. ”

After speaking, I nodded to Qiao Zhijun and walked to the chair behind the podium and sat down. Qiao Zhijun stood up, walked up to the podium and saluted a standard military salute, and then said: "Hello everyone, I am Qiao Zhijun, you don't care about my skin color and appearance, I am now the commander of the Western Border and the commander of the Second Group Army of the Immortal God Realm Special Administrative Region. ”

I nodded secretly, Qiao Zhijun has been tempered in the Secret Realm of God for several years, and he has already possessed the quality of an excellent commander, which can be seen from the fact that the First Group Army has always been among the best in military competitions and large-scale exercises in the Special Administrative Region.

After Qiao Zhijun finished announcing the battle order, an officer stood up and shouted loudly: "Report." ”

Qiao Zhijun said: "Speak." ”

The officer said: "Report to the commander, I am Zhang Zhizhong, commander of the 81st Army of the Western Theater Border Group Army, and I understand that the attack on the Nepalese people must be targeted, so it must be dominated by the army of the Immortal God Realm Special Administrative Region, but our 81st Army has been stationed on the Nepalese border for a long time and is familiar with the terrain of Nepal. ”

Qiao Zhijun said succinctly: "Agreed." Then he turned to me, saluted, and sat down.

I stood up and walked up to the podium and said to the officers in the audience: "The battle plan has been approved by the Central Committee, and I will follow the Second Army." This operation was the first large-scale cross-border operation of our army in 60 years, so we could only win. I have only one request for the Ni, don't take prisoners. The attack of all units must be fast and fierce, and if they are not afraid of sacrifice and hardship, they will be able to weaken the strength of the Nepalese people faster if they rescue more Nepalese people as soon as possible. Again, I don't want casualties, just time. ”

After a pause, I continued: "The troops of the border army group should be prepared for defense, and as soon as the order arrives, they will immediately attack the Asan army on the other side of the border. It should be noted that the troops of the Asan country on the other side are ten times larger than yours, and they are likely to be the first to attack you before the order arrives, and I have only one request for you, not to allow a single soldier of the Asan country to enter the country. ”

Glancing at the people below, I said in a slow tone: "There may be Ni people in the Asan army on the other side, and before the SAR army completes the encirclement of the Asan border group, you must face the enemy's counterattack alone, and I have mobilized enough power armor, which must be the same as bulletproof clothing, to ensure that every soldier wears it." ”

After speaking, I glanced at the officer below with a determined expression, waved my hand and said, "Go back and prepare, I don't have lunch here." ”

After everyone left, Zhou Huai'an walked up to me and said in a low tone: "Your Highness, Chief Immortal Qin has gone." ”

My hand holding the teacup trembled for a few seconds, and I put the teacup down and said, "Let's go." ”

When I arrived at the hospital, Wang Keke was already crying pear blossoms with rain, Xiao Xu helped her and said to me: "Grandpa Qin walked very peacefully, he asked me to tell you that you are very good." ”

I nodded, walked in and looked at Qin Zhen, he had already changed into the old white-washed military uniform, and his chest was full of military merit medals. I gently straightened out his appearance and said to Lao Liu on the side: "Uncle Liu, please, the ashes are temporarily stored in the Lingqian Village building, waiting for us to come back triumphantly." ”

Lao Liu nodded and said, "Don't worry." ”

I turned and walked out, without looking back.
