Ivan is a hero, an unsung hero, Uncle Ji said.

Lan Yu and he parted without breaking up.

For a few months, she soaked in endless tears all day long, full of melancholy and couldn't let go. Every cell in her life is suffering and tormented by extreme grief day and night.

So, she sealed her heart in this beautiful but thorny forest, preferring to enjoy the loneliness and loneliness patiently.

However, from time to time, this loneliness silently cut the wound that had not yet had time to heal, and so it began to flow blood again, making her painful and unbearable.

If Huzi and Saihu were with her, Lan Yu would not be able to hide her sad tears all day.

Today, Saihu and Huzi led Blue Feather to the top of this fairy peak.

Facing the place where the sun was rising, they sat in a row from left to right starting from the blue feather on the strange stone at the top of the peak, and they all looked into the distance with their heads held high, as if waiting for the call of the distant mountain.

The slopes of the mountains stretch gently to the southeast, and the sun rises from the distant mountains towards the clear blue sky, shining infinitely on the earth.

The mountains, the trees and the jungles;

The water, the winding river;

The bird, all the creatures of the forest,

They are all enjoying such a warm and bright sunshine, and they have returned the colorful and charming world to Mother Earth.

At this moment, Ivan's shadow appeared in front of Lan Yu's eyes again, and Saihu and Huzi also seemed to see his voice and smile. They sat there, very quiet, and the listener Lan Yu began to chant a monologue in a deep voice:

You have heard me from afar, and you have touched your heart

Your eyes are damp, and a mist brushes over yours

I'm used to your silence, as if you're gone again, distant, and sad.

Hearing this, Huzi bypassed Saihu, moved his body to Lan Yu's left hand side and sat down, put his head affectionately on Lan Yu's shoulder and sighed, sniffed Lan Yu's hair again, put his mouth on Lan Yu's shoulder and began to close his eyes and meditate.

They sat on the top of the hill and watched as the sun slowly floated up in the sky, like a glittering balloon, hanging high in the clear sky.

It was the beginning of the day, and it was already noon.

"Hey, girl!" Uncle Ji is here.

"How about it, the great rivers and mountains of the motherland are gorgeous and colorful!" Uncle Ji ran up as if he had changed, shouting as he walked: "When I entered the mountain, I couldn't stop dragging the words of Wen Xuan, no less than you young people!" ”

"Uncle Ji, if possible, I don't want to leave here for the rest of my life."

"Li'er is such a Li'er, but isn't the country training you to study in vain?"

"yes, even if it's just a mundane job, a little nail."

"Well, I'll take you to take a good look at how important this big frontier is to the mainland's national security."

He flicked the whip in his hand:

"Let's go!"

Descending the mountain, a warrior was driving a carriage and was already waiting on the mountain road.

Sitting in the carriage, the horse bells jingle and sound pleasantly, the same as the horse bells of the carriage that came here for the first time on a heavy snowy day, but now the snow is no longer seen on both sides of the mountain road, only the flowers and red leaves and green reflect the trees and the sky, and the wind and sun are accompanied by a vibrant scene.

Saihu and Huzi happily led the way in front of the carriage, as if they knew where Uncle Ji was going to take them.

Along the way, Blue Feather saw that the ruins of many abandoned buildings made of cement were scattered among the weeds.

On the ridge in front of you, you can still see grazing cattle and sheep and herdsmen on horseback, and the idyllic scenery makes people can't imagine what happened here decades ago.

Lan Yu guessed, how could there be cement poured buildings in such deep mountains and old forests and sparsely populated prairies, could it be that the iron hooves of the Japanese army had also stepped into this pure land?

Sure enough, the warrior who drove the carriage began to explain to her:

Since 1929, the Japanese army has used this area as a springboard for the plundering of resources in this area, preparing for a military war against the Soviet Union.

They tightened their control over the area, sent military supplies to strategic locations, and used coercive and brutal means to force the inhabitants of the area to build railways, military forts, and airfields.

During the 14 years of Japanese occupation of the region, 15,000 laborers were taken prisoner, of whom more than 4,000 were persecuted to death. With the approach of the Soviet Union's war against Japan, by 1944, the Japanese army had more than 50,000 troops stationed in the area alone, and successively built and built underground barracks, tunnels, tunnel bunkers, airfields, railway stations, hangars, and nearly 20 places that could accommodate 3,500 Japanese soldiers.

Uncle Ji reminded Lan Yu that the most important reason why the Japanese invaders were able to successfully occupy this area during the war was that they had carried out very meticulous collection of intelligence information on strategic destinations in advance.

They risked their lives to collect military intelligence, resource intelligence, geology and geography, and even local humanities.

The fact that they had taken the intelligence gathering work ahead of the war of aggression gave Lan Yu a chance to awaken deeply.

In the past two days, Saihu and Huzi have been really busy, and they have to travel long distances every day, and after running forward and backward with the carriage, they have led Blue Feather to a number of abandoned ruins, arranged in chronological order:

In June 1931, a group of four Japanese spies were captured by our officers and soldiers. Investigation notes, military maps, summer watches, compasses, mappers, and pistols were found on the person's body and in his bag, and a large number of Chinese military secrets were recorded in the notes.

After rigorous interrogation, it was learned that Shintaro Nakamura (left), a spy at the Japanese General Staff Headquarters, and Nobutaro Isugi, a retired sergeant, had been engaged in espionage activities in this area since June 1931.

The four were secretly executed at 0:30 on 27 June. The "Nakamura Incident" became one of the direct triggers for the Japanese Kwantung Army to launch the "918" Incident.

In 1934, the Japanese Kwantung Army set up a secret service in this area, and the Kwantung Army Headquarters dispatched more than 10 people, the main task of which was to be responsible for social security in the area.

In 1941, the site of the 5rd Department of the Japanese Army, there was a team of more than 500 people, which was subordinate to the Intelligence Bureau of the Kwantung Army and engaged in spy activities.

On September 13, 1941, Unit 53, also known as Unit 868 of the Manchurian Special Service, was subordinate to the Intelligence Bureau of the Kwantung Army. The unit has 6 rooms for education, adjutants, and weapons, and has jurisdiction over 5 squadrons and 2 squads.

In June 1942, the Japanese Kwantung Army sent the 107th Division to garrison the line, set up a headquarters and a communication station, and stationed more than 140 Japanese troops, mainly responsible for communications, navigation, agricultural experiments, labor recruitment and defense assistance.

In June 1944, the 107th Division of the Japanese Army stepped up preparations for war against the Soviet Union and strengthened the collection of military intelligence in the region for strategic relocation, and specially dispatched a motorized communications company to station, mainly to carry out the task of collecting military intelligence for the Japanese Kwantung Army.

By April 1, 1945, there were 800 officers and soldiers.

"These bloody facts prove that at that time, the mainland was not only weak in a frontal war for national defense."

Uncle Ji summed up the visit by saying:

"Because of the weakness of the authorities themselves and the barren foundation of intelligence science, intelligence defense, and intelligence technology at that time, they could only be beaten, which led to the surrender of the entire northeast to the Japanese invaders and even the establishment of their puppet government."

Uncle Ji continued:

"Even now, although China is not in the war zone where the artillery is under fire, the abundant strategic materials contained in this area have always made all kinds of powerful forces still salivate. They have taken advantage of the opportunity to carry out bad actions in all kinds of ways and by means of plunder, and they have never stopped. Therefore, we must always be ready to improve our national defense strength not only in terms of armed forces, but also on the platform of scientific and technological forces. This is the necessary preparation for the victory of modern justice over all evil forces. ”

"I see, Uncle Ji, this should be the only reason Ivan gave his life to it."

After hearing this, Lan Yu understood a big truth, which was of profound significance.

"Our grief should be turned into strength. Start from little by little and live well, this is Ivan's hope for you in the first place. Sooner or later, you will have the opportunity to be like Ivan and others, resolutely appearing where your dedication is needed. ”

Uncle Ji is educating Lan Yu that he can't continue to be miserable and slack off like this, he should cheer up.

When the carriage came to a stop in front of a small hill, and when he saw Saihu and Huzi stopped on the side of the road, Uncle Ji smiled knowingly and said:

"You follow the two of them to the hillside, and I'll pack up supplies. When you return, you will have water to drink. ”

"Okay!"

Lan Yu happily agreed, and followed Huzi up the hillside. Here, Huzi was happier than he had just gone, which made Lan Yu feel very curious.

When they arrived at a stone monument, Saihu and Huzi both stopped, as if they remained solemn and stood there motionless. Lan Yu rushed over to look at the inscription, on which were engraved the words "Monument to the Unknown Hero".

Lan Yu thought that the heroes here must be people like Ivan and them.

In front of the monument, someone has already placed a wreath tied with flowers.

Lan Yu looked left and right, looking for something around. Huzi had already seen her thoughts, so she jumped up and down to lead the way for Lan Yu, and walked a little to the eastern slope, and the various wild chrysanthemums all over the mountains and fields on the entire Dongyang slope were really beautiful.

Seeing this bright flower made Lan Yu's heart suddenly become gentle again.

She couldn't help but fold off all the colors, tied them into a bunch very neatly, returned to the monument, mourned silently for dozens of seconds, respectfully placed the bouquet next to the wreath, and finally bowed.

Saihu and Huzi did the same saluting as Lan Yu together, and only then did they begin to lead Lan Yu down the mountain.
