Chapter 251: Salute

251

Where Xue Qing grabbed the snow with his hand just now, a hand slap was faintly revealed, and at first glance, it almost scared Chen Beiming and Xue Qing half to death.

"Oh my god, what is this!" Xue Qing stumbled and almost fell on the snow again.

Chen Beiming was also so frightened that he took a small step back, his whole body tense.

For a moment, Xue Qing looked at Chen Beiming: "Did we have a dazzle just now?" I seem to see a hand! ”

Chen Beiming didn't speak, just exhaled softly, and then carefully came to the place where Xue Qing was sitting just now, squatted down, and observed carefully.

It's really a hand.

And it should be a hand that has been buried in the snow for many years, but the snow has melted in the past few days, and this is revealed.

This year's global temperatures are unusual, several degrees higher than usual.

Of course, there must be more than one hand, and there may be other parts of the body besides the hands, however, due to the time spent buried in the snow for a bit longer, the palms look a little scary, like zombies in the movies.

The two men were bold and watched carefully.

"It's strange, we Gambala haven't heard of a murder when it happened!" Xue Qing muttered as he watched.

Chen Beiming stood up and observed the situation nearby.

After a while, Chen Beiming was suddenly shocked: "Xue Qing, did there be a large-scale disappearance incident in Gabala before, it seems to be called the 928 incident or something, is there such a thing?" ”

"Nine-two-eight?" Xue Qing was stunned for a moment, and after thinking for about three seconds, he was stunned: "He...... They...... They ......"

He stammered and couldn't speak.

Chen Beiming's face was also solemn.

More than 40 years ago, Xia mobilized tens of thousands of troops to build the world's tallest radar station in Gabala.

At that time, both the conditions and technology were much behind now, so all the material transportation could only be carried on the shoulders, which was very hard.

Moreover, the temperature in Alxa at that time was lower than now, and the mountains were covered with heavy snow in September.

However, in order to seize time, the Gabala radar station, which is related to Xia Guo's safety, was repaired as soon as possible, and more than 10,000 soldiers risked their lives to compete for time with nature.

Once, a team of more than 30 people carried a very advanced radar at that time up the mountain, but for some unknown reason, suddenly encountered an avalanche, and everyone was killed, and no one was spared.

After the incident, the superiors immediately sent a lot of manpower and material resources to find people, but the scale of the avalanche was too large, and everyone searched for more than two months without finding the missing person.

More than 40 years have passed in a flash.

But those who went missing were never found.

Therefore, at this moment, Chen Beiming and Xue Qing both suspected that the person buried under the snow at the moment might be the victim of that avalanche incident.

Thinking of this, Chen Beiming and Xue Qing didn't speak, but were just solemn.

After standing quietly for a few minutes, Chen Beiming handed the flashlight to Xue Qing: "You follow me, I'll pick up the snow on it with my hands and take a look." ”

"Pick up the snow?" Xue Qing was taken aback.

In the wilderness, in the middle of the night, the snow buried on the dead people was picked up in the snow, which really tested people's courage, and Xue Qing was a little scared.

However, he quickly took the flashlight and nodded earnestly.

Chen Beiming squatted down, closed his eyes, and prayed silently in his heart: "I don't know the name of the comrade yet, excuse me, I'm going to pick up the snow buried on you now, I want to see who you are, if you are really the comrades who died in the 928 avalanche, don't worry, I will definitely send you home." ”

After praying silently for a while, Chen Beiming bowed again, and then he gently lifted the snow on it with his hand.

It was very difficult, a lot of snow had frozen into ice, but Chen Beiming did not give up, but carefully and slowly cleaned up the snow.

Xue Qing also squatted down after a while, with a flashlight in one hand and Chen Beiming in the other.

The two of them silently picked up the snow one by one.

Time seemed to slow down, and the noise of the whole world seemed to disappear at this moment, and even the wind on Gabala seemed to cease at once.

The whole world held its breath.

Digging and digging, digging and digging for three hours, all the time the handle was numb, the handle dug out blood, and the outline of the person buried under it was finally clearly visible.

His whole person was curled up, the whole person was hunched over, using his body to protect the things he held in front of his chest, one hand was clutching a wooden box, and the other hand, that is, the hand that Xue Qing saw, may have broken a bone when he fell, and he was weakly hanging on the ground, but the other one was like being welded to death on the wooden box.

Two words can still be faintly seen on the wooden box: "radar".

The rest of the words are not read.

Chen Beiming shook off his frozen hand, slowly stood up, raised his right hand, and solemnly saluted.

Xue Qing also stood up and raised his hand.

It's them!

It was the comrades who disappeared in the 928 avalanche.

After a while, a faint shout came from not far away, like the voice of a horn: "Xue Qing - Xue Qing - Chen Beiming - Chen Beiming -"

"They've got it!" Chen Beiming and Xue Qing raised their heads at the same time and looked in the direction where the voice came from.

"You wait here, I'll call them." Chen Bei Ming Dao.

"Hmm." Xue Qing nodded.

Chen Beiming turned on his flashlight and followed the sound.

Xue Qing lowered his head, looked at the person lying in the snow, and muttered, "Brother, I'll accompany you!" ”

Chen Beiming trotted briskly, and after a while, he found the company commander and others.

At this moment, two-thirds of the people in the Alxa Border Company were mobilized, and everyone turned on flashlights, held walkie-talkies, searched and shouted all over the mountains.

"Company commander, we're here." Chen Beiming trotted over.

"How are you? Are you okay? The company commander rushed over quickly, asking as he ran.

"I'm fine, Xue Qing is fine, he twisted his ankle, but I cured it." Chen Beiming said the matter concisely.

"What about him? Where is he? The company commander didn't believe it, and was a little suspicious, mainly because the expression on Chen Beiming's face was a little weird.

"Follow me." Chen Beiming said, turned around and left after finishing speaking, without waiting for the company commander.

The company commander was stunned for a moment, then made a gesture to everyone, and soon, the soldiers gathered around.

Chen Beiming took the company commander to the place where Xue Qing was standing.

When the company commander saw Xue Qing, he was very excited: "Xue Qing, are you really okay?" ”

Xue Qing's face was full of sadness, he glanced at the company commander and pointed to the person on the ground: "Company commander, look-"

At first glance, the company commander was almost scared to death, but he reacted quickly, quickly adjusted, and hurriedly leaned over to take a look: "What's the matter?" ”

"Company commander, they are the thirty brothers who disappeared when the Gabala radar station was built more than forty years ago, and those comrades who disappeared in the 928 avalanche incident."

"What?" The company commander was startled, and after a moment, he slowly squatted down, carefully looked at the man lying on the ground, and then he stood up and took off his hat.

Behind him, the soldiers of the Alxa Border Company also vaguely understood what was going on, and everyone saw the company commander take off his hat, and they all took off their hats.

After a moment, the company commander raised his right hand and shouted in an earth-shattering voice: "All of them, salute the brothers who died in the 928 avalanche incidentβ€”β€”"

Swish!

Everyone raised their right hands and saluted solemnly.
