Chapter 238: Forgotten Veteran

Listening to Lao Liu's chattering voice, the endless questions made Zhang Yan not know which one to answer for a while. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Usually Lao Liu doesn't talk so much? Why are the girls chirping today. ”

Thinking of Lao Liu's crooked appearance, Zhang Yan pursed his lips helplessly and said to Lao Liu: "Boss, you listen to me first, okay?" ”

"Okay!"

"Boss, Wu Rui and I need a large force to support now, and we found a military air-raid shelter with enough weapons and ammunition to equip three army regiments."

"We're guarding the entrance to the bomb shelter, asking for backup!"

"Repeat, 100,000 urgent, request for support!"

Zhang Yan yelled at the communication system several times for the same words, but Lao Liu didn't react at all.

"Boss, can you hear me?"

"Boss, I need support!"

……

Repeated, still repeated requests for support; There was no response, only the radio turbulence of "Zrazla" in the headphones.

"Liu Xiangfei, you eat!"

Zhang Yan suddenly shouted into the communicator, startling Wu Rui and an old man standing next to him.

"Ahh Lao Liu finally reflected, "I'll listen, the weapons and equipment of the three army regiments, the military air-raid shelter, you and Wu Rui have guarded it for me, I will inform Liang Feng to locate your location, and go over immediately!" ”

"Be sure to guard the bomb shelter!"

Lao Liu hurriedly cut off the communication after saying a few words to Zhang Yan, probably to contact his superiors and ask for support.

Seeing that Zhang Yan's call was over, Wu Rui laughed out loud, gave Zhang Yan a thumbs up, and said, "You are so awesome, dare to let Lao Liu eat!" ”

"That's, don't look at who you are!"

Zhang Yan put on a smiling face of thieves, and Wu Rui fought with each other, and the white-bearded old man sitting next to them watched the two of them fight, showing a kind smile.

It's just that the old man's eyes are full of memories, as if he thinks of when he was young; After a while, there was something called melancholy in the old man's eyes, which should have thought of something sad.

Zhang Yan and Wu Rui stopped fighting, sat beside the old man, and quietly looked at the air-raid shelter next to him.

The old man's surname is He, he is 87 years old this year, and after Zhang Yan and Wu Rui walked out of the military air-raid shelter, they found He Lao not far from the entrance of the cave.

After some conversation, Zhang Yan and Wu Rui figured out what kind of untold story this air-raid shelter hidden in the deep mountains and dense forests has.

He Lao has been silently waiting for this air-raid shelter in the mountains for 42 years, and he has also changed from a young and strong middle-aged man to a gray-haired old man.

In the seventies of the last century, because of the needs of the country, He Lao and his comrades-in-arms from his unit came to this deep mountain and old forest.

At that time, because people wanted to keep the construction of national defense projects secret, He Lao and his comrades-in-arms did not mention this matter to the outside world.

At that time, He Lao's unit was the Railway Corps Engineering Corps (which has been withdrawn), and he had made unfortunate contributions in the construction of national defense projects. (Of course, there are countless revolutionary martyrs among them, who have succeeded each other, and even left their lives in the construction project.) )

The air-raid shelter was built according to the standard of "three defenses", and the quality of the project was very high, and many of He Lao's comrades-in-arms remained in the air-raid shelter forever. (Three defenses: anti-biological and chemical weapons, anti-nuclear weapons, anti-biological weapons)

Later, the railway soldiers were withdrawn, the civil air defense project was interrupted, and the superiors had forgotten about the air-raid shelter in the deep mountains and old forests and the incognito railway soldiers after personnel changes.

He Lao's instructor once confessed to him on his deathbed, "Keeping the secret of the party, this is the foundation of the country!" It is precisely because of the instructor's dying instructions that He Lao has been in the mountains for more than 40 years.

He Lao buried his comrades-in-arms who had died digging an air-raid shelter together on a sunny hillside not far from the air-raid shelter.

The veterans who dig air-raid shelters like to see the sun and bask in the sun, in the words of He Lao, "Standing under the sun, you can still feel like a person!" ”

The days passed year by year, and the superiors did not look for them, and He Lao never left the mountain.

He abided by the agreement with his comrades-in-arms back then, kept the "red secret," was loyal to the party, and never betrayed!

Forty years have been like a day, He Lao has used his life to interpret the loyalty of a veteran!

Zhang Yan and Wu Rui sat at the entrance of the air-raid shelter with He Lao, looking at the sun in the sky in a daze.

The entrance of the cave faces south, it is a good place to bask in the sun, and the warm winter sun shines on the body and feels hot, which makes people feel indescribably comfortable.

"You two little dolls, how did you end up in the hole?"

"Alas, I'm old, and maybe it won't be long before I'll go down to accompany the instructor."

"I don't think you two boys are bad, if you have the chance, help me find the government and tell the government about the matter here."

"My name is He Wen, I am from the Chinese People's Liberation Army Railway Corps Construction Pioneer Regiment, my comrades-in-arms, my brothers have all sacrificed ......."

Zhang Yan listened to He Lao's words quietly, and he could feel the sadness in He Lao's heart.

The comrades-in-arms were all gone, and only one person remained in the deep mountains, guarding their common mission alone, and keeping the instructor's dying promise.

In the forest in the distance, a large number of birds flew up, Zhang Yan nervously stood up from the ground and clenched the gun in his hand.

"Wu Rui, immediately take He Lao into the air-raid shelter and get ready for battle!"

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

Two replies sounded behind Zhang Yan, Zhang Yan turned his head, and just in time to see He Lao saluting Zhang Yan with a military salute.

"Soldier He Wen, ready for battle, please instruct!"

He Lao's words made Zhang Yan and Wu Rui cry at once.

He was a soldier and never forgot his oath!

He was a veteran, and even when his superiors had forgotten about him, he still held his ground!

"Into the bomb shelter!"

Wu Rui helped He Lao quickly retreat into the air-raid shelter, Zhang Yan turned his head to look at the forest in the distance, he had already seen the figure hovering in the air.

Two Z-10 helicopter gunships flew over from a distance, skimmed over Zhang Yan's head, flew cross, and circled above the air-raid shelter.

Behind the two Wuzhi, three M-171 transport helicopters flew above the open space in front of the bomb shelter, and the whirlwind blew so that people couldn't open their eyes, and Zhang Yan put down the goggles.

Six thick ropes were thrown from the sides of the plane, and the heavily armed fighters jumped from the plane and quickly landed on the ground.

When Zhang Yan saw the mark of the comer clearly, he immediately put down the gun in his hand, and the armband of the comer was the unique "Fire Dragon Burning Sky" of the Longyan Brigade!

Lin Tianyang came over in person!

Behind him were three combat groups led by Ma Mengchao, the commander of the Sixth Commando Regiment!

Lin Tianyang strode in front of Zhang Yan and said, "Boy, you did a good job!" ”

"Hello Captain!"
