He may have been a little surprised by my words, even puzzled.

I saw him staring at me with a puzzled expression, as if he didn't know what I was talking about.

And said blankly: "I just want my belt back, I don't know what you're talking about?"

I was shocked.

"You don't know what I'm talking about?"

Yes, as soon as I entered his house, he asked me why I went to the grove last night, and I stayed so late in the grove last night, and the only person who knew that I went to the grove was the madman who fought me to the death.

This Chen Zhong's figure is not much different from that madman, and even very similar, since he knows that I appeared in the grove last night, is he related to that madman?

Or rather, he's the madman!

Chen Zhong said indifferently: "You drove a police car into the village and made such a big battle, who doesn't know that you went to the grove?"

I laughed dumbly.

It turned out that when he said that I appeared in the grove, he was referring to the first trip.

I was in the grove twice last night, the first time with my colleagues and the second time I went alone.

It turned out that the villagers knew about it for the first time.

Could it be that I was confused this time? But why did Chen Zhong's belt appear on my body? Because this belt was obviously left by the madman last night?

Anyway, after drinking with Gao Liang in the morning, I told Gao Liang about last night's events and took out this belt, hoping that Gao Liang would help me refer to what I should do next.

This is the only evidence left by the madman, and it is also the evidence that I fought with my life.

After staring at the belt for a while, Gao Liang said to me: "This belt is a standard belt from the 80s, the quality is very good, and it can be preserved until now, which shows how much the owner of this belt cherishes it." ”

"But who will its owner be?"

I asked the question in my mind, and highlighted: "Obviously, its owner is a former soldier, and he joined the army in the eighties. ”

"Does it have any relevance?"

I was a little puzzled when he talked about the 80s, why did he make that claim?

Gao Liang said to me: "The 80s was a special period, because the soldiers of that era experienced the tempering of actual combat. ”

Yes, in the 80s, because of border disputes in the southwest, China fought a ten-year-long war with a certain country in South Asia.

Gao Liang continued: "Just now I heard you say that the person who attacked you is extraordinary, and even has certain military fighting skills, think about it, isn't this kind of person a person who has been honed in actual combat in the army?"

Under his analysis, the general texture is about the same.

The person who attacked me last night must have been a master from the army, a veteran anyway.

This man lost his belt in a panic after being hit with an electric baton by me.

Because this belt is a memorial of him in the army, he cherishes it and is reluctant to lose it for more than 30 years.

It seems that this is still a person who misses the old, but maybe his nostalgia has also become his shortcoming, and it is precisely because of such a shortcoming that the evidence will fall to me.

I asked Gao Liang: "In the vast sea of people, how can you find this former soldier with just a belt?"

"It may be a bit difficult in other places, but in Teunshi Village, you can really find it. ”

Gao Liang said confidently.

He is a veteran policeman who has also worked as a police officer in the Nanxiang Police Station for more than three years, and he knows almost everyone in Nanxiang.

In Zhaoxi Village, there was only one person who served as a soldier in the eighties, Chen Zhong.

Chen Zhong is a person who participated in that border war and a combat hero, and his heroic story is well-known in the Nanxiang realm.

In particular, his legendary experience with his comrade-in-arms Xin Zefei is talked about, and Gao Liang also told me this story, so I can use this story to confront Chen Zhong now.

Chen Zhong looked at the belt in my hand, sighed, and said to me, "Young man, do you really want to know why I am so determined to find this belt?"

I was shocked: "Insist on finding the belt, do you mean that this belt is not on you?"

I always thought the belt had been on him all along, and I lost it during the fight with me last night.

As a result, he said: "Actually, this belt is not mine, it is from my comrade-in-arms Xin Zefei." ”

Hearing him say that, I feel like it's a belt with a story.

Then he raised his head, looked at the sunset in the west, and said in a trance: "Thirty years ago, after my other two comrades-in-arms and I were ambushed in Laoshan, Xin Zefei and I were forced into the cat's ear hole by the enemy. ”

For those who have personally participated in the southern Yunnan border operations, the "cat's ear hole" is neither strange nor mysterious.

In fact, it is a kind of most ordinary battlefield shelter fortification, under normal circumstances, built on both sides of the trench or traffic trench, the arched semicircular door, about one meter high, dozens of centimeters wide, the depth and length are different, the small one is only for one person, the large can accommodate three or five people, its function is mainly used for anti-artillery, hiding, storage ammunition, etc., to provide living space for the soldiers who hold the position.

Because the Laoshan area is a typical subtropical karst landform, there are many karst caves of different sizes and depths distributed on the mountain, which are often used as natural shelters by the soldiers, which largely makes up for the lack of difficult fortifications.

Over time, some people have confused small natural caves with artificially excavated cat's ear holes, and they do not distinguish each other.

As for this kind of battlefield shelter fortification, why it is called "cat's ear hole" such a strange name, people may be a little unsure, the initial name and change history can not be investigated, probably because its entrance is similar and the volume is extremely narrow!

In that era of blood and fire, the reason why "cat ear hole" became a keyword with a high click rate at that time and became the focus of people's attention for a while was not because of its form, but because of its unique connotation.

Such a little kitten's ear piercing is closely related to the living conditions of the front-line soldiers, the victory or defeat of the battle, and even the national prestige, military prestige, personality and spirit, etc., affecting the hearts of hundreds of millions of people in the front and rear.

In the fierce battles again and again, the ferocious cannonballs blew up the cat's ear hole, and the warriors had to splash blood on the cave wall, fight tenaciously, and swear to the death, so that people are in the position, and they live and die with the position!

When the soldiers died by drinking bullets, or were seriously wounded, and they could not withdraw from their positions for a while, they could only shed the last drop of blood in the hole in the cat's ear...... Such a dark and half-time place has become a "morgue" for the martyrs to finally bid farewell to the world and their comrades-in-arms.

When it comes to the little-known in-depth information of cat ear piercing, it is impossible not to involve its daily "secrets".

As the all-day shelter of the border soldiers, the cat's ear hole is narrow and cramped, and it must bow its head when entering and exiting, and must bend its waist when standing, even if it is lying down, it is necessary to bend its arms and legs, as if it is tortured, and the feeling of suffocation is not something that ordinary people can experience.

The darkness and dampness inside the cave are even more difficult to describe.

Typical subtropical climate, high temperatures, high humidity, moldy clothes, spoiled food, bedding can be wrung out of water droplets.

The warriors could only wear vests and pants, and even went naked, like primitive people.

Especially after entering the rainy season, the rain continues, the golden sun rarely shows a smiling face, and the cat's ear hole is low-lying, the entrance is narrow, and the pitiful sunlight has not shone into a wisp of light, and the rain flows happily.

The cat's ear hole is full of water, and sometimes the water is so deep that it is impossible to squat, and it is even more luxurious to lie down and rest for a while.

The soldiers had no choice but to build the used ammunition boxes into platforms to support their extremely tired bodies, and take turns to sit on them for a short rest, and to enjoy themselves in the midst of hardship and suffering.

If you can grit your teeth and endure the humidity and stuffiness alone, then the foul air in the cave, the smell of mold, sweat and sourness, mixed with the indescribable fishy smell, is simply filthy and almost suffocating......

In such a harsh living environment, the soldiers who stick to the forward position can only drink the rain given by God, gnaw on the hard and tasteless compressed dry food, and resist the enemy's attacks several times a day.

The harsh environment of cat ear piercing

In addition to being dark and damp, smelling bad, and biting poisonous insects, there are also mountain rats that are rampant, and terrifying pythons (sometimes poisonous snakes) and lizards are frequented by them.

The rats here are as big as small squirrels, staring at a pair of thief's eyes, unscrupulously like no one, daring to jump around on people.

Chen Zhong was bitten on the ankle by a rat rampant in the cat's ear hole at the front of the Nala Pass.

The subtropical lizard resembles a shrunken dinosaur, with a ferocious face and a strange "quack" cry from time to time, which makes the scalp tighten.

Pythons and the like are even more hateful, and incidents of being violated by snakes occur from time to time.

Once, Chen Zhong went to the forefront of the 398 Heights to learn about the battle situation, the enemy suddenly fired a cold cannon, he hurriedly drilled into the nearby cat's ear hole, but was dragged by the soldiers.

He said, you don't want to die, look at a big snake there, Chen Zhong looked at the place where his comrades-in-arms fingers, and sure enough, it was a thick and long red flower snake coiled there.

It was demonstrating against them with its three-edged head held high, sizzling blood-red letters......

Day and night of holding the Laoshan position, the officers and men had to resist the enemy who was fighting with open fire, and at the same time deal with these "accomplices" who were dormant in the dark, and became more and more frustrated and strengthened in the extremely dangerous and difficult environment, and won victory after victory.

It was under such a tempering that Chen Zhong and Xin Zefei's comradeship-in-arms became stronger and stronger, but because of the appearance of one person, all this was changed.

Speaking of this, Chen Zhong's eyes suddenly shot a light of hatred, and he gritted his teeth and said: "That is a traitor in the army, in order to be infatuated with the body of a foreign woman, he betrayed the intelligence, causing one of our platoons to be ambushed and suffered heavy losses. ”

"Has this traitor been punished in the end?"

I already hate traitors, especially such traitors, and I can't wait to get rid of them with my own hands.

The light in Chen Zhong's eyes dimmed: "Not only did he not get the punishment he deserved, but also because Xin Zefei had the evidence of his betrayal, he killed Xin Zefei not long after he changed jobs!"
