Chapter 0001: Missing Comrades

Next Chapter

My name is Zhang Zichen, I am a county-level city at the foot of Longhu Mountain, and in the 70s of the last century, I became a border soldier in the northern Xinjiang of the motherland. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

It was when I was in the recruit company, one night, I was sleepy, I was woken up by Fu Xiaojun on the top bunk, I opened my eyes in a daze, looked at him in the dark inexplicably, and asked, "What are you doing?"

"It's time," Fu Xiaojun said to me as he fastened his belt, "It's time for us to change the guard." ”

"Oh. I replied casually, as if I had just remembered that I was in the army.

We are new recruits who have just joined the army, and we have not yet regarded the army as our home, especially at night when we are asleep, and we always think that we are still coming from our own home. Tonight was the first time for our class to go to the No. 3 post in the back mountain, standing from 12 o'clock in the middle of the night to 2 o'clock in the morning.

Reluctantly, I got up from the hot bed, put on the military uniform that had not yet been issued with a badge and collar badge, fastened my belt, yawned and walked out of the dormitory with Fu Xiaojun, and walked towards the No. 3 sentry set up on the back hill.

The goose feather snow in the evening has now stopped, and when we stepped on the snow that was not up to our calves, and squeaked to the hillside more than ten meters away from the sentry, we suddenly shouted from the sentry: "Password?"

Fu Xiaojun got up earlier than me, so he was more sober, and before I could react, he replied, "Red." Repatriation?"

The other party replied, "Flag." ”

After a while, two figures came out of the sentry and handed over the sentry to us.

They were comrades-in-arms from the other classes on the previous shift, because they were all recruits, and we didn't know each other's names yet, only that they were from Shandong, and we were from Jiangxi.

We took the Type 63 semi-automatic rifles from them, and the overcoats they were wearing, and they put their hands to their mouths and said to us, "Brother, hard work. ”

After saying that, he trotted down the hill.

After we walked into the sentry, we first looked around through the glass window in the sentry, paying particular attention to the ammunition depot at the foot of the mountain, and then I sat on the bench in the sentry and said to Fu Xiaojun: "Hey, Xiaojun, you look at it for a while, I haven't woken up yet, and then lean on for a while." ”

After saying that, without waiting for him to agree, he held the rifle, raised the collar of his coat, and leaned against the corner where he had just fallen and narrowed.

"Okay. ”

He answered, put his hand into my coat, took a box out of the pocket of my pants, lit one out of it, and put the box of cigarettes in my pocket.

I tucked my neck into the collar of my coat and took a sip on him: "Nima learned to smoke before she was a smoker." ”

Fu Xiaojun undeniably spat at me, turned his gaze out the window again, and hummed the melody of the model play in his mouth: "Through the forest sea, across the snowfield, the anger is ......"

Actually, I don't really want to sleep, not to mention that this sentry is made of a single layer of wood, and it is no different from the unsheltered wilderness in the northeast at more than minus 20 degrees.

I just want to squint for a moment.

Suddenly, Fu Xiaojun pushed me: "Hey, Zichen, look, what ...... What's that?"

I closed my eyes and muttered, "Look, if a woman squats there to pee, you kid won't tell me, and you will quietly help her with that stick." ”

When a woman pees, she needs to take a stick to help her? It is estimated that people who have never been to the Northeast will not be able to figure out this allusion.

On the first day that our Jiangxi soldiers came to the Northeast, the veterans said to us seriously: "When you go out to pee at night, don't forget to bring a stick." ”

Puzzled, we asked, "Why, are there still jackals in this icy snow?"

They said as if they were foolish boys: "That's not true, because it's cold at night, and you will freeze as long as you urinate, and you don't need to hit it with a stick, and the urine column can't go down, and you can't pee out even if it's blocked." ”

So I used this allusion and took a sip of Fu Xiaojun.

"Hey, no," Fu Xiaojun's hurried voice was obviously a little afraid: "Look at it!"

I opened my eyes and leaned against him, and looked out the window beside him, but there was nothing but endless snow.

I glanced at Fu Xiaojun dissatisfied: "Surprised, what are you doing?"

"Ah," he said, touching me on the shoulder, pointing to the sky in the distance, "Look, there!"

I don't seem to have woken up yet, but my brain knows it.

Seeing his frightened look, I was startled and thought: Could it be that Su Xiu's plane came to attack?

At that time, a few years after the end of the defense of Zhenbao Island, we called the Soviet Union Soviet Xiu, and we are only a few hundred kilometers away from the Sino-Soviet border.

I hurriedly ran out of the watchtower and looked at the sky in the distance, it was so dark that I couldn't even see a star or moon, let alone Su Xiu's plane.

I felt like I was being played, and I turned around angrily and shouted, "Fu Xiaojun, you kid is sleepy with labor, right?"

As I spoke, I returned to the sentry post and found that Fu Xiaojun was still sitting on the bench, his raised arm still pointing in the direction that he had just asked me to see, with a frightened look on his face and his expression stiffened.

"Paralyzed, you're still like the real thing. I kicked him in anger, but he fell straight down without saying a word.

I was stunned and thought: Why is this kid doing, you don't have to take acting so seriously, right?

"Fu Xiaojun, Fu Xiaojun-" I shouted twice, and then reached out and touched his face, which was not only hard, but also cold to the bone.

I reached under his nostrils and probed to his heart, and to my horror he was dead.

"Damn, won't you?"

Seeing Fu Xiaojun's pale face and body stiffened in an instant, I had the feeling that he might pounce on me at any time with his fangs and teeth open.

I forgot to scream, and I stepped back, only to tripped over the threshold of the sentry and fell to the ground with a "poof".

This Nima is also too terrifying, a person who was still alive just now, has become a cold and stiff guard in the blink of an eye?

I didn't even have the strength to stand up, so I hurriedly ran down the hill with a rolling belt, but I felt as if Fu Xiaojun was following behind me, and his outstretched hands might grab the back of my neck at any time.

Fu Xiaojun was obviously scared to death, but I was almost scared to death by him. I didn't even have time to grab my gun when I rolled down the hill.

I ran to the door of the battalion headquarters in one breath and knocked on the door urgently, and the knocking sound seemed strange as it had never been.

The sleeping battalion commander was woken up by me, and when he heard the sound inside, he should have run out of bed barefoot, suddenly opened the door, and before he could see who I was, he whispered to me with an angry face: "What are you doing, knocking on the door in the middle of the night without shouting a report, is it a dead person, or is it angry?"

I stammered, "Report ...... Sue the battalion commander, no...... Didn't get angry, but ...... Fu Xiaojun died...... He's dead. ”

The battalion commander was stunned for a moment, seeing my panicked look, and knew that even if he was given the courage to take me, as a recruit, I wouldn't dare to knock on the door of the battalion headquarters in the middle of the night and make such a big joke?

He asked, "What's going on?"

I swallowed my phlegm and said, "We are standing at the post from twelve to two o'clock tonight, and he has just been on duty for a while...... He seemed to see something terrible, ...... Scared to death. ”

The battalion commander asked, "The third post in the back mountain?"

I nodded like garlic and replied, "Yes, yes, yes." ”

He turned around and walked into the house, put on his coat, put on his shoes and held a flashlight, walked up to me, waved his hand, and said to me, "Go!"

When the battalion commander walked to the door of the barracks, he asked me to wait there for a while, and he walked towards the building behind the storehouse, and after a while he came back again, and I guess he had just gone to urinate.

He asked one of the two sentries standing at the door of the barracks to follow us, and when I followed the battalion commander to the sentry with some trepidation, I was dumbfounded.

There were two Type 63 automatic rifles lying on the ground, but Fu Xiaojun was gone.

The battalion commander immediately turned around, and I hurriedly took two steps back to explain to him, but he walked past me and checked the situation around the sentry as if looking for some clue in the snow.

Then he looked back at me, afraid that he would accuse me of deceiving him, and just as I wanted to explain to him what had just happened, he first asked, "Are you alright?"

"Me?" I was stunned for a moment, and quickly said, "Oh, I'm fine." ”

The battalion commander raised his wrist and looked at his watch, turned to the sentry who was standing at the gate of the barracks just now, and said, "You go to the guard platoon, just say what I said, let the veterans take over the post here tonight." ”

"Yes. ”

The sentry answered, and immediately ran down the hill.

Only then did the battalion commander ask me, "What happened just now?"

I made a detailed report to the battalion commander about what had just happened, and strangely enough, even I thought it was a fantasy, but the battalion commander did not raise any objections after hearing this, but admonished me:

"When the guards come over, you'll sleep in your bedroom. Remember, don't mention what just happened to anyone. ”

"Yes. ”

"If someone asks Fu Xiaojun about it, you will say that the changing of the guard is because he broke his leg and was sent to the hospital overnight. ”

"Yes. ”

"Also," the battalion commander continued, "think about it in the evening and see if there are any details that are missing, and you will report back in detail tomorrow when the instructor comes." ”

"Yes. ”

At this time, a few flashlights shot from the bottom of the hillside in the distance, and I was immediately relieved, knowing that the veterans of the guard platoon were coming, and I didn't want to stay in this ghost place for a moment.

After the battalion commander saw me enter the dormitory, he went upstairs and returned to the battalion headquarters.

I walked into the dormitory and saw my comrades-in-arms sleeping on the bed, and I felt steady, but Fu Xiaojun couldn't forget what he was like just now, so I quietly took out the cigarette in my pocket, tore open the seal and lit one, and felt something was wrong after a few puffs.

Fu Xiaojun was in the sentry just now, but he took out a cigarette from my pocket and lit it, why did I take out the cigarette just now, but I didn't tear the whole pack of cigarettes from the seal?

I took out my cigarette again and counted them one by one, and there were exactly twenty cigarettes that had been lit in my hand.

I'll go, what's going on with this Nima?
