Chapter 33: Bad News in the Army (2)

"Mom, where's Daddy?"

Looking at the child's eager eyes, Qiao Xinwei's heart twitched faintly, Xi Bao didn't know that his father might suddenly disappear because of work, they couldn't ask and couldn't inquire, and when he could come back could only be determined when he came back.

"Where's Daddy? He promised me to do the puzzle with me yesterday. Xi Bao asked again.

Qiao Xinwei had no choice but to say, "Dad said he would come back in the evening." ”

"Ah, it's going to be night!" Xi Bao couldn't hide his frustration, he wasn't even in the mood to eat breakfast, he pouted and asked, "Isn't that why you can't go to the park to play football?" ”

Qiao Xinwei pointed outside and said, "How do you play football in the heavy snow?" Your cold is just starting to get better, and Dad has specially explained that you can't go out to play. ”

Xi Bao said stubbornly: "I don't believe it, I want my father to tell me in person, to tell me in person." ”

"Xibao, you don't believe Mom?"

"Then I want my dad to play with me."

Qiao Xinwei was both helpless and heartbroken, Jiang Hao spoiled the child all day long, and the child was closer to him, and if he didn't see him for a day, the child would have to look for him. She accepted her dissatisfaction and complaints, and patiently persuaded: "Xibao, dad really has something to do, isn't it the same for mom to play with you?" ”

"But Mom is not as smart as Dad." Childlike words, children's words.

Qiao Xinwei was speechless, so she had to say sternly: "Eat, finish the egg custard, otherwise I won't even show you Qiaohu for a while." ”

Xi Bao was even more unhappy, and reluctantly picked up the spoon and stirred it around in the bowl, "Hmph, Dad won't be so fierce to me." ”

"......" Qiao Xinwei wanted to cry, since Jiang Hao left until now, she has become a glass heart. But she didn't know that Jiang Hao was suffering in dire straits at this time.

Jiang Hao rushed to the troops, and Xiao Fang told him the details, Guo Xueyan took the initiative to invite Ying to participate in the actual combat exercises this time, and there will be irregular exercises in the army every year, which is very common. The exercise was in the deep mountains and dense forests on the border of Yunnan, and just as the exercise was about to end, a group of unidentified figures suddenly came. I was in the open and the enemy was in the dark, and the soldiers had been practicing in the field for seven days in a row, and they had not slept well or eaten well, and were exhausted, while the enemy came prepared with advanced weapons and ample ammunition.

A platoon led by Guo Xueyan, a total of 34 special forces, all fell into an ambush, and then were brutally shot and killed by the enemy, and none of them survived.

The incident caused a national sensation and shocked the world.

The military region attaches great importance to it, and Brigade Commander Tang personally takes command, which is the dignity of a soldier and, more importantly, the dignity of the country.

"It is now known that we were invaded by an international mercenary organization, a dozen or so of them, who fled into Vietnam after the incident."

"Chief Guo's new official took office but was brutally murdered, the position of the head of this regiment is about to vacant again, this hatred, this hatred, we must revenge, otherwise the thirty-four soldiers who died in vain will not be wronged?!"

"Hateful, hateful, hateful, this is clearly a provocation to the squadron, a blatant provocation. We must not allow others to slaughter us, this is a major matter that has a bearing on the foundation of the country. ”

In the conference room, everyone was furious, you expressed your anger every word, Brigade Commander Tang was also very sad, he looked at Jiang Hao who was sitting in the corner without saying a word, and asked: "Jiang Hao, what about you, I want to hear your thoughts." ”

Jiang Hao has changed jobs, and to put it bluntly, he is an outsider, but informing Jiang Hao and letting Jiang Hao participate in the discussion is exactly what Brigade Commander Tang meant. Jiang Hao was still immersed in deep grief, his eyes were red from anger, and he said: "Those who offend my Chinese will be punished even if they are far away." ”

Brigade Commander Tang patted the case, "Okay, that's exactly what I meant!" Jiang Hao, I know that you have changed jobs, but you still hope that you will think about it, what can you do at this time, what should you do, tomorrow, I hope you can give me the answer I want tomorrow. ”

All eyes looked at Jiang Hao in unison, the team led by Jiang Hao is the elite of the special forces, Guo Xueyan used to be Jiang Hao's deputy department, and now Guo Xueyan has sacrificed, who else has the ability and qualification to provoke the burden of "avenging comrades-in-arms and fighting to defend the dignity of the motherland"? Only Jiang Hao.

Only Jiang Hao!!

The meeting was held from six o'clock to half past twelve at noon, everyone was discussing countermeasures, Jiang Hao only listened, did not make any remarks, he is not qualified to do so now. Coming out of the conference room, Jiang Hao's steps were heavy, Brigade Commander Tang patted him on the shoulder and asked him to think about it clearly, if Jiang Hao was still at his post today, he could directly order, but helplessly Jiang Hao had already changed jobs, "Go back and discuss with Jiang Lao and listen to his opinion." ”

Jiang Hao nodded, and spit out a word hoarsely, "Okay." ”

Finding Xiao Fang, Jiang Hao asked anxiously: "Chief Guo, when will they come back?" ”

Xiao Fang said: "I have already sent a special plane to transport it, and I plan to come back at one o'clock in the afternoon, but it is snowing heavily in the capital, so it is difficult to say." ”

"All?"

"There are too many people, Chief Guo and Platoon Leader Chen will return first, and the others will be transported back one after another."

"Have you notified the family?"

"It's all noticed, only Chief Guo's family is in the capital, and someone has been sent to pick it up, and the other family members are all distributed in other places, and they will probably arrive tomorrow."

"When is the memorial service?"

"For the time being, it will be arranged the day after tomorrow."

Jiang Hao nodded silently, took two steps and stopped to look at his watch, it was already past twelve o'clock, then, Guo Xueyan was about to come back, he turned back again, and advised: "Pacify the family." ”

"Yes, Chief."

Xiao Fang respectfully gave a military salute, Jiang Hao's heart throbbed, he was not worthy.

On the tarmac of Nuoda, the snow has been cleared, the soldiers are neatly dressed, respectful and solemn, Jiang Hao's black suit is very conspicuous in a dark green military uniform, facing the cold wind, he can faintly hear faint sobs, from all directions around.

Suddenly, a wail came from behind, and everyone turned their heads to see that it was Guo Xueyan's parents, wife and daughter, supporting each other. The two old men were already gray, and when they received the news of their son's death, they fainted directly, and after waking up, they insisted on picking up their son regardless of the bad weather and weak bodies.

Guo Xueyan's wife, with an unusually calm face, she supported her elderly mother-in-law while pulling her young daughter, the family lost its pillar, and she has had to support it since then. The depression and calmness on her face made people feel more and more distressed.

With a shout and bursts of tears, the soldiers could no longer suppress their grief, and one or two of them sobbed softly.

Jiang Hao looked at this qiē quietly, and he thought, if he accepted this mission, unfortunately, he would not come back, then would Xinwei be as calm and strong as Guo Xueyan's wife?

At ten o'clock, the helicopter circled over the troops, "Salute!" A thick voice pierced the sky, and the warriors saluted the helicopter in unison.

The helicopter landed slowly, a huge whirlwind dried the tears from the faces of the fighters, and a loud noise masked the cries of grief.

The helicopter landed smoothly on the ground, and two coffins were carried out one after the other, covered with national flags. The soldiers took off their hats and saluted, and Guo Xueyan's family was grief-stricken and cried all the way.

Can you imagine what it would be like to wait for the memorial service and the families of all the sacrificed soldiers to come to the troops? Jiang Hao didn't dare to think about it, closing his eyes was two teardrops the size of beans, his elderly parents handed over his good son to him, and what he gave them was a cold corpse. Who can know the torment and guilt in his heart?

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Xi Bao had not woken up, Qiao Xin only woke up and had no sleep, she saw that Xi Bao was still sleeping soundly, so she got up and went downstairs by herself.

The snow stopped completely, and the hustle and bustle of the city was relieved after the heavy snow, Qiao Xinwei stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows and looked out, the capital is really a prosperous city, even if it is covered with heavy snow, it can't cover the busy traffic and hurried pedestrians, and the rhythm of the capital has not slowed down at all because of this snow.

She turned on the TV in all kinds of boredom, holding the remote control and holding down the volume button to turn on the sound to the minimum, at this moment, almost all TV stations were broadcasting the news of the attack and death of the special forces on the Yunnan border, and the big headline subtitles with a heavy atmosphere suddenly jumped into her eyes.

In an instant, she shivered, and her heart suddenly increased significantly, and she pressed the volume increase button in a panic, but accidentally dropped the remote control on the ground. She squatted down and picked up the remote control, her legs were weak and she couldn't stand up anymore, she simply sat on the ground, held the remote control and pressed the volume.

Later, I don't know how long she sat down, Xi Bao rubbed her eyes and went downstairs, Qiao Xinwei came back to her senses, but her legs had already lost sensation, and she was so numb that it seemed that thousands of ants were gnawing on her flesh.

"Mom, is Dad back?"

"I didn't ...... No. ”

"Why hasn't Dad come back yet?" Xi Bao was not very happy, and pouted to help his mother, "Mom, can you call Dad and ask him to come back soon?" I want to eat the chicken thighs and shrimp he made. ”

Qiao Xinwei stood up with difficulty, and sat down on the sofa with a head in one fell swoop, she held Xi Bao, and her palm kept stroking his head.

"Mom, did you hear that? What happened to you? ”

"It's okay, it's okay......"

"I want my dad to come back and give me ** legs and shrimp shrimp."

Qiao Xinwei tried her best to stay calm and said, "Is it okay for mom to do it for you?" ”

"No, what you make is not as delicious as Daddy's."

"Dad, he probably won't be coming back." In fact, she was not sure, many things, she was not sure, she suddenly became very confused, even more confused than when she fled the capital four years ago.

Xi Bao was still young and didn't know anything, he raised his head and looked into his mother's eyes and asked, "Then when will Dad come back?" ”

Qiao Xinwei touched her son's little face in a panic, she didn't know when Jiang Hao would come back, but she knew that she must not affect Jiang Hao at this time, and she would not forget what Jiang Hao looked like when he received a call from the army in the morning. Sometimes, there are some things, although she can't identify with him, but she understands him
