Everyone was surprised.

"Such a high mountain, and there are loyal bones to bury on it?" Tian Guo asked.

"It's a problem for people to go up, how can it be possible to transport loyal bones up? I've only heard of cliff burials, and I've never heard of such a thing as a mountaintop burial. Qubiazhuo shook his head in confusion.

"We in Huaxia pay attention to the soul returning to our homeland, even if it is sacrificed, it should be transported back to our hometown." Tang Xinyi frowned.

"It's rare for the snow mountains to bury loyal bones." He Lu said in a low voice.

"It looks like this is a border post with a story!" Tan Xiaolin said with emotion.

With all kinds of doubts, under the leadership of the old village chief, everyone brought to the foot of the mountain.

Here, the crowd saw the hand-hewn stone steps.

Walking up the stone steps, the difficulty of climbing is reduced a lot, but Rao is like this, climbing the high mountains in the plateau area, everyone is also gasping for breath.

They were about to reach the top of the mountain on one side of the mountain, and everyone saw trenches one after another.

There is no doubt that these were dug out by the fighters with shovels, shovel by shovel.

An hour later, the group made it to the summit.

It's not so much a mountain peak as a mountainside, and there are several towering snow-capped mountains on the side.

The border post was built here.

A very simple border post, these houses are not made of concrete or wood, but are built of stones from the mountains, piece by piece.

The wind is strong on the mountain, and the height of the house is not high, that is, about three meters or so.

In the bitter cold land of the border pass, the soldiers who guarded the country still stuck here in the face of extremely harsh conditions, which is moving and reverent.

"Squad Leader Luo!"

As soon as the old village chief arrived, he shouted loudly.

A soldier heard the voice of the old village chief, jumped out of a trench with a shovel, and said from a distance: "Old village chief, is there something going on?" ”

When he saw a group of female soldiers and Zhang Lu, he was stunned, very surprised and surprised.

There are no villages in this generation except for the village at the foot of the mountain, let alone so many people going up the mountain.

"If these People's Liberation Army want to see you, I will lead the way." The old village chief said: "I brought the people, and I will go down the mountain first." ”

As soon as the old village chief left, Tan Xiaolin stretched out her right hand, shook hands with Luo Yongdan, and said, "Squad Leader Luo, we went up the mountain mainly to learn about the situation nearby." ”

Everyone looked at this Luo Yongdan, a man in his thirties, with an obvious plateau red on his face.

After years of wind and sun, there are not many frowns on his face, but there are potholes.

"Which unit are you from?" From their bodies, Luo Yongdan can feel the temperament of that kind of soldier.

Tan Xiaolin did not identify herself, and said: "We are soldiers, and we want to enter the gray area to fight, so we specially ask you about the situation." ”

Luo Yongdan was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that it was a soldier who was carrying out the task of encirclement and suppression, but there were only ten of them, and their faces gradually became serious.

"Comrades, mercenaries are active in this area. Don't act rashly, we don't know how many of them there are! ”

"We have observed their marches several times, at least a few dozen people larger, at most one or two hundred at a time, fully armed and equipped no worse than ours, if not better."

"Do you know where their headquarters are?" He Lu asked solemnly.

Luo Yongdan shook his head and said, "I don't know this, but the location of their activities is in the southwest." ”

The female soldiers' eyes lit up.

The general command of the exercise only issued a mission, and the specific location of the enemy still needs to be reconnoitred and explored by themselves.

This trip was not in vain, and I got an important piece of information.

As expected, the enemy's camp should be in the southwest.

"Thank you! You've done a great job! ”

After Tan Xiaolin thanked her, she wanted to lead the female soldiers down the mountain.

Luo Yongdan rarely saw his comrades-in-arms, and said enthusiastically: "Don't be in a hurry to leave first, eat something and then leave, in the bitter cold place, it is not easy to replenish." ”

"Okay, then there's Lauro squad leader." Tian Guo was hungry, and the first one agreed.

Tan Xiaolin didn't say anything, because Zhang Lu and Long Zhantian had such a quarrel in the temporary restaurant, everyone didn't eat, and they were indeed hungry.

Squad Leader Luo led everyone into the stone house.

All female soldiers, just a male soldier, this is the first time he has seen such a combination.

His eyes fell on Zhang Lu's body and said, "Comrade, they are all men, come and work together." ”

"Need help?"

An Ran and Tian Guo both offered to help, but Luo Yongdan refused, and said righteously: "How can you let the female soldiers do it, you just sit." ”

Zhang Lu smiled and followed the other party into the kitchen.

A simple kitchen, with a stone stove and gas stove, a rolling table, plus a cupboard, and a pile of firewood in the corner.

Zhang Lu helped add water on the side, and Luo Yongdan skillfully mixed the noodles.

Zhang Lu saw that the other party's nails were sunk into a hole, and asked curiously, "Squad Leader Luo, what's the matter with your nails?" ”

Luo Yongdan said disapprenously: "In this climate, the nails are a little concave every year, and we are used to it." ”

"By the way, little soldier, which company are you from?"

Obviously, Luo Yongdan regarded Zhang Lu as a new recruit.

Zhang Luhe said with a smile: "People's soldiers! ”

Luo Yongdan said solemnly: "Your number is too small, you still have to be cautious, that group of mercenaries heard that they have cleaned up several villages." ”

"Because we have to guard the border gates, we can't leave our posts without authorization and go down the mountain to investigate, and it's outside the country, hey......"

Luo Yongdan said helplessly: "I have all post-00s soldiers on my hands, and I don't dare to meet each other rashly." ”

Zhang Lu also understands that recruits who have never seen blood, if they encounter mercenaries, there is no suspense except for the annihilation of the whole army.

"By the way, why do you soldiers climb the mountain, do you want to climb the peak and set a world record?"

Luo Yongdan said solemnly: "No! Gashubrum's peak will definitely not be able to climb up, it's just a ceremony, where are the loyal bones! ”

Zhang Lu was curious and asked.

"During the Anti-Japanese War, there was a squad leader, who was an observer, and when he saw that the enemy was coming, he climbed the peak of Gashubloom, and where did he die in the end, but he succeeded in planting the red flag wherever he was."

"He sacrificed himself, but he reminded his teammates."

"Even if it's a plane, we can't get up, and we all want to take him down and bury him, so that the loyal soul can rest in peace."

"This is one of my wishes, and it is also the wish of every group of soldiers at our border station, when we think of the bones of the unknown martyrs on the top of the mountain, we feel uneasy and ashamed of the heroic soul."

"I hope that in my lifetime, I can see the bones of the martyrs and bury them at the foot of the mountain, so that I can retire with peace of mind."

In Luo Yongdan's body, Zhang Lu seems to see the efforts and persistence of generations of people at the border station.

He thought for a moment, with his climbing ability, climbing the wall and moving flowers and trees, maybe he could climb up and satisfy the veteran's wish.

Just then, there was a commotion outside.
