An uninvited guest came to the office of division commander Cai Wenming.

The person who came was a woman in her early fifties, with a navy blue office dress dressed decently on her body, her hair was dyed, but a small piece of new snow white was revealed at the root of her jet-black hair, and the corners of her eyes were densely crow's feet telling the ruthlessness of the years, and there were a few lines on her forehead that were not deep but condensed with pain, which were full of hardships left by life.

Cai Wenming stood behind the desk, a little emotional, his chest rose and fell, his snort became thicker and thicker, and his eyes stared back and forth carefully and affectionately on the face of the visitor.

After a long time, Cai Wenming walked out of the desk, took a few steps forward, paused at a distance of two meters, seemed to hesitate a little, but finally spoke: "Sister-in-law!" ”

People who came heard this long-lost title, what a kind title it used to be, but since the Southern Xinjiang Campaign, it has been many years since they heard it, and they don't want to hear it again.

This title made her have too many unbearable memories.

The corners of her mouth twitched slightly, and she wanted to say something, but she stopped talking.

"Sit, sit!" Cai Wenming completely lost the majesty of a colonel at this time, as warm as seeing relatives, thought about it, turned around and walked to the door and shouted: "Xiao He, bring my best tea!" ”

The visitor finally sat down, put his satchel on his lap, and quietly watched Cai Wenming busy making and pouring tea.

The public service soldier Xiao He stayed on the side and didn't know what to do, what he usually did by himself, but today the division commander did it himself, who was coming? Can the teacher be so humble?

Xiao He looked at the middle-aged woman in front of him suspiciously, who looked very ordinary in appearance and clothing.

"Xiao Pei, it's none of your business, go out and get busy." Cai Wenming turned to Xiao He, his eyes suddenly became complicated again, and he sat on the sofa opposite, and did not say anything for a long time.

Suddenly remembered that the tea was brewed, and stretched out his hand to bring it to the visitor: "Sister-in-law, drink tea." ”

"Longjing green tea?"

"Well, your favorite drink...... It's also ......" The words paused here, Cai Wenming's eyes suddenly became a little hot, and a choking sullen breath surged from his throat to his chest, and he changed his words: "Sister-in-law Qiuru, I haven't seen you for many years, are you okay?" ”

Liu Qiuru slowly put down the cup in her hand, her face was still covered with frost, and her voice was silent for a while, before she made up her mind and mustered up the courage to say: "Master Cai, I only have one thing to ask for this time, for the sake of Lao Zhang and you for many years, I beg you to promise me one thing." ”

Her cold and solemn tone made Cai Wenming feel a trace of sadness, so many years have passed, and that matter is still on Liu Qiuru's heart.

He sighed secretly in his heart and said calmly: "Say, sister-in-law, as long as I can help......"

……

Xiao He kept an eye on the door of Deputy Division Commander Cai's office.

Half an hour later, the middle-aged woman left, and the deputy division commander personally sent her downstairs and arranged for a car to be sent to the station.

Back in the office, Cai Wenming returned to his seat, leaned back on the back of the chair, and he looked up at the ceiling for a long time.

Finally, he shifted his gaze from the ceiling back to his desk, where there was an old black phone.

After thinking for a while, he finally made up his mind, grabbed the microphone and said, "Give me Commander Wang of the Provincial Military Region." ”

"Yes, Chief."

The sweet voice of the female soldier of the communication company came from the microphone, and then there was silence.

Cai Wenming lit a cigarette, and the curling smoke soon enveloped the whole person, and the evening sunlight shone in through the window, and the smoke was blue and golden for a while.

Time once again returned to the southern Xinjiang battlefield of that year, the familiar regimental command post......

The same smoky scene, the air was filled with the smell of smoke, sweat and rancidity.

Cai Wenming rushed into the temporary command center, and shouted as soon as he entered: "Regiment commander, do you have an important task for me!" ”

Several officers gathered around the map laughed indoors, and the regiment commander Wang Fulai pinched a pencil and nodded at Cai Wenming, turned his head to a tall man on the side and said, "Look, Lao Zhang, our little black company commander can't sit still!" ”

Cai Wenming turned to the tall man with glasses, stood upright, and saluted: "Battalion commander!" ”

The tall battalion commander Zhang Yan nodded and motioned for him to come over: "Xiao Hei, Commander Wang has a task for you." ”

Cai Wenming's eyes lit up: "I can't wait, from the time we entered here until now, we haven't even fought a decent battle, and the brothers are panicking!" ”

"Good steel should be used on the edge of the blade!" Captain Wang extinguished the cigarette butt in his hand and lit another one: "Xiao Hei, come and look at the map......"

He pointed to several red circles on the map and said: "This is the 1052.4, 1142, and 1250 highlands, which can overlook the depth of more than 15 kilometers in China to the north, and can see the X county in country Y and the highway leading to the river to the south, so it has a relatively important strategic position." After withdrawing its troops in self-defense and counter-attack, country Y attempted to retaliate by sending troops to invade our territory and important cavalry points on the side of these highlands, and often fired guns and artillery and dispatched agents to harass our territory. ”

"Now, the head of the Central Military Commission is determined to take these highlands to prevent future troubles." Regiment commander Wang Fulai took out a cigarette from the cigarette case and lit it again: "The division commander has specified a battle plan, the 1052.4 and 1142 heights are attacked by the brother troops, and our regiment is facing the main attack on the 1250 heights. ”

"But our biggest problem is that there is a reinforced special forces battalion in County X, less than twelve kilometers to the right rear, and if they come to meet us when we are encircling and attacking the 1250 heights, it can easily disrupt our offensive plan. Therefore, the regiment decided that your company would intersperse with the 800 heights behind the 1250 heights, which was the only way for reinforcements, and you must arrive on time and pin down and block the enemy's reinforced special battalions to ensure that our regiment can successfully capture the 1250 heights. As soon as we take the 1250 heights, your troops will immediately retreat, direct them into our firepower, and deal a fatal blow. ”

"Understood! Mission completion guaranteed! Cai Wenming replied loudly.

Zhang Yan frowned and said: "Xiao Hei, you have to understand the current situation of our division, once you even intersperse it, it will be a lone army to go deep, because the large-scale troop movement is easy to expose the traces, and the suddenness and secrecy of this battle plan do not match, so the reserve can only be deployed in the starting position of our division, at least thirty kilometers away from you, that is to say, if you lead the team to intersperse, then everything has to rely on yourself, even if you encounter difficulties, there will be no support for a while." ”

Cai Wenming replied loudly again: "Please rest assured, the head of the regiment!" I am a soldier, and I know what the duty and glory of a soldier is! I promise to complete the tasks assigned by my superiors, and you will wait for my good news! ”
