"Big brother company commander, don't worry, my brother will accompany you soon!" Yang Zhenbang sat next to the tombstone, he leaned his body on the tombstone, his head also gently leaned next to the photo of the tombstone, and said softly: "I am not afraid of death, but to be honest, now in the face of such a China, I still have a lot of places to see, and many things to try, brother, I really ...... I don't want to die! ”

Yang Zhenbang looked at the battle song, and there was suddenly an indescribable softness in his eyes, "I've worked hard for you this time, brother!" ”

After listening to Yang Zhenbang's words, Zhan Xia Ge only felt that his nose was as if he had been punched hard, and several bittersweet and sour tastes came to his heart together. Zhan Xia Ge knew that, just like what Academician Sun Leijing said, after Yang Zhenbang left the life maintenance equipment and was forcibly taken out of the laboratory by him, his life had been shortened to just two months. Zhan Xia Ge watched Yang Zhenbang's body weaken day by day, he would wake up in his sleep more than once every night, until he was sure that Yang Zhenbang was safe and sound, he would wipe off the cold sweat oozing from his forehead and fall asleep again.

Yang Zhenbang and Zhan Xia Ge looked at each other like this, and beside them was Yang Zhenbang's eldest brother of the company commander, not far away, the rows sleeping peacefully were the martyrs who died in China's self-defense counterattack against India.

Time passed slowly in the cold wind sliding from the pines and cypress treetops, and after a long, long time, until the driver's feet had lost cigarette butts all over the ground, Yang Zhenbang slowly stood up, he gently patted the stone tablet, watching his movements, as if he was greeting the most familiar brother. "Big brother, I'll go first, I want to see more of the world and learn more about the current China before I close my eyes, so that when I return to you, I can tell you everything I saw and heard, 1510."

"Warrior Song, I want to ask you to promise me one thing." Yang Zhenbang straightened his waist and said, "After I die, I want to trouble you to send me to the Kangxiwa Martyrs Cemetery again." Here, there is my big brother of the company commander, and there are so many like-minded brothers, lying here...... Not lonely! ”

At this time, what else could Zhan Xia Ge say besides nodding vigorously?

The next stop of the Song of War Heroes is Motuo, who wants Yang Zhenbang to take a look at the guardian of the Republic who lives in the harshest environment.

Metuo, also known as Baimagang, is one of the most mysterious places in Tibetan Province. The famous religious scriptures of Tibetan Province say: "The Pure Land of the Buddha, Baimagang, is the most special among the holy places." These holy places, which are worshipped by believers, have sown infinite temptations in the hearts of many Tibetan people, and the Menba and Lhoba people of Motuo say that the place where they live is called "Baiyu Yabu Baimagang", which means "a hidden holy place like a lotus". In Buddhism, the lotus flower is a symbol of good luck.

Two thousand and six years ago, it was the only county in China without a road, located in the southern foothills of the Himalayas in the southeast of Tibetan Province, and the roaring Brahmaputra River, hidden deep in the vast clouds and mist, was flowing through Metuo, all the way to India. The world's seventh highest peak, Nanga Bhava, stands up to block the cold current, allowing the warm breeze of the Indian Ocean to blow through the Brahmaputra Gorge and moisten the rare "green patio" of the ice and snow plateau of Motuo.

With an area of 8,000 square kilometers and only more than 9,000 residents, the county is located on the north side of the "McMahon Line" and is of great military significance; since 1962, the Chinese People's Liberation Army has been stationed in Medog to serve as border guards and maintain social stability.

As soon as he heard the song of the warriors and was going to Motuo, the driver shook his head like a rattle, "Don't look at the Motuo traffic, but now that it's late October, once our car breaks down, it will be in big trouble." There, the top of the mountain is among the clouds, the foot of the mountain is by the river, the speech can be heard, and it takes a day to walk. Even if I send you to Metuo, there will be nothing to see, and now there is still a part of the territory of Medog occupied by the Indian army, and they occupy the plains, forests and hills, and all you can walk is high mountains and dense forests, and there are brown bears and Bengal tigers, although they do not usually attack people, but they will eat people when they are very hungry. Even if you get to Motuo, there is nothing in that ghost place, and there are only dozens of dilapidated houses in the so-called county seat, and things are sold at a high price. ”

Zhan Xia Ge has only been to Motuo once, and it was a few years ago when he was on a mission, he flew directly over all the mountains in the "Black Hawk" helicopter of the Snow Field Training Camp of the Fifth Special Force.

Two days later, the Yanjing jeep carrying Zhan Xia Ge and Yang Zhenbang entered Dabomi from Lhasa, from here to Metuo, if only the distance on the map is calculated, there are only more than 90 kilometers left, after asking the Dabomi Highway Bureau, the other party gave a positive answer: "It can be opened to traffic a week ago, according to the weather forecast, it will snow at any time in recent days, once the heavy snow closes the mountain, it will be trapped in it for more than half a year, and it is not possible to come out until March of the following year." And do you know who the people of Motuo County are? They're all Menba! ”

After hearing these words, the driver refused to set off again no matter what. Zhan Xia Ge said nonchalantly: "Isn't it just that the snow covers the mountain, what's the big deal, it's a big deal to find a military helicopter to pick us up from it!" ”

"Impossible!" The driver shook his head desperately, "There used to be eight helicopters in Tibetan Province, but now there are few of them, and two of them fell in Motuo." ** At that time, they were still transporting money by helicopter, and the plane exploded at the Toxiongla Pass in the Himalayas. Now they are all pulled by cars, or they simply hire migrant workers to carry them inside. If it really snows and the mountains are covered, I can only leave the car there and find a guide to take us out, hoping that the army will send a helicopter to pick us up, which is absolutely impossible! ”

Zhan Xia Ge patted the driver's shoulder and said with a big grin: "You don't have to worry about this problem......

"Uh-huh......!"

Yang Zhenbang's coughing voice suddenly came from behind him, and he didn't need to ask Zhan Xia Ge to know that Yang Zhenbang was reminding him not to use his privileges. Zhan Xia Ge's hand stiffened on the driver's shoulder, and in the face of the driver's strange gaze, Zhan Xia Ge barely squeezed out an embarrassing smile: "It's really not good, let's forget it." ”

But Zhan Xia Ge did not give up in the end, because Yang Zhenbang insisted, Yang Zhenbang Zhan Xia Ge said: "Since the highway has only been opened for less than a year, the army has been stationed there for more than 30 years. Wouldn't they just sit and die without a road? And you, without privileges, without the 'helicopter' you say, there is no way but to surrender?! ”

In the mouth of the driver, he kept saying "Crazy! Lunatic! In the sound of the madman ......", Zhan Xia Ge wrapped Yang Zhenbang firmly with a warm sleeping bag, and then carried Yang Zhenbang and a large number of necessary equipment for hiking on the plateau to his shoulders.

Zhan Xia Ge asked the driver to send them to Pai Township in Milin County, and from here to enter Motuo, it only takes three days for ordinary people to walk on foot. Zhan Xia Ge wrapped Yang Zhenbang tightly with a sleeping bag, plus a full hundred catties of nourishment and life-sustaining equipment, plus a set of small tents and heating equipment, Zhan Xia Ge actually carried nearly three hundred catties of weight on his body! Carrying these things on his back with Yang Zhenbang, even if the current warrior song is as perverted as the humanoid camel Xia Houguanghe, but carrying a small mountain and walking like a fly, it is enough to make everyone stunned.

"Wait!"

There was a quick cry from the driver behind him, and Zhan Xia Ge turned his head with a small mountain on his shoulder, and the driver flew over. Running to the side of Zhan Xia Ge, the driver first bent over and gasped for a long time before shouting: "Be careful of the Menba people there!" ”

Zhan Xia Ge has never seen any winds and waves in his life, he raised his eyebrows, and said to the driver disapplaudedly: "Thank you, I will pay attention." ”

"Look at you like this, you just don't know anything about the Menba people." The driver jumped to his feet and shouted, "You think you're amazing, don't you?" But the most powerful thing about the Menba people is their poisoning skills! ”

"Well, I've heard of these things too."

Yang Zhenbang, who was carried on the shoulder by Zhan Xia Ge, said: "The Menba tribe was a primitive tribe at our time, and they had a tradition, that is, to poison others. They believe that by poisoning people, the blessings of the deceased will be transmitted to their homes. Because in their understanding, they think that God will distribute such things as 'blessing' to everyone, but God will also be biased, so some people will have more money than others, and some people will be more beautiful than others, and if they want to get enough 'blessing', they have to kill those people. ”

Zhan Xia Song was really stunned, no wonder Motuo is so poor in this place, it turns out that not only has the congenital restrictions of inconvenient transportation, but also because they have this unique set of philosophical theories! In this environment, who dares to get rich first? After a long time, Zhan Xia Ge said: "Brother Yang Zhenbang, you said things before liberation, and now these things should have been extinct!" ”

"No, no!"

The driver shook his head repeatedly, "It's the same now, but it's a little more restrained." I heard that there are three kinds of poisons they have developed, one is that after eating, it will only die after a few months or even a few years; One is that you won't kill you after eating it, but it can make you feel like you have a serious illness, your whole body is weak, your spirit is weak, and you even become paralyzed; The last one you can die of touching it, but even the forensic doctor can't find any symptoms of poisoning. If you have to go into Meto, do not deal with the people of Bamen, and do not eat their food or drink their toast. Most importantly, if you see a spider painted in front of the door, don't touch it! ”

Zhan Xia Ge was stunned for a long time before shrugging his shoulders and saying: "I have no wealth and no blessing, I think they don't like me, and they don't bother to poison me." ”

"But you have the strength!"

The driver pointed to the mountain-like weight on Zhan Xia Ge's shoulders and said: "In the eyes of the people of Bamen, strength also means blessing, like you, you almost wrote the four big words 'come to poison me' on your body!" If those Menba people don't poison you, who do they poison?! ”

Zhan Xia Ge could only sigh in his heart, it was really strange in the world, the last time he went to Motuo to perform a mission, he came and went in a hurry, and he really didn't know that the local Menba people had such a strange "custom". At the end, the warrior song smiled and said: "If people don't offend me, I won't offend people, if people offend me, I will offend people!" ”

Gently patted the driver's shoulder, "Wait for me for seven days, and I won't give you a cent less than the cost of renting a car." And, thank you! ”

The driver watched in a daze as Zhan Xia Ge strode towards the Duoxiongla Mountain, and the most convenient way to hike into Metuo was to climb over the Doxiongla Pass in the Himalayas at an altitude of 4,221 meters. He had never seen such a strange, strong, and indifferent man in the face of the threat of death. Although he talked to Zhan Xia Ge very rarely, and he didn't know where Zhan Xia Ge came from and what he had done, he could clearly feel that the man who was carrying hundreds of pounds of weight and could still straighten his chest and stride forward was a very powerful person!

"Hey, are you okay?"

It was Yang Zhenbang who asked the question, and in front of them was the slope of Mount Duoxiongla, it was late October, but the ice on the slope of Mount Duoxiongla had not melted, and from below, the entire slope was simply a steep large ice rink! The scariest thing is that the slopes are still covered with snow, and it is difficult to know whether the snow is smooth as a mirror or a rock that allows people to stand on it without stepping on it yourself. Even if Zhan Xia Ge is wearing military and police riot boots, I am afraid that my feet will slip. Once he stumbles and falls, he and Yang Zhenbang, two brothers, will be counted as confessing here.

Zhan Xia Ge smiled proudly and said: "That iceberg more than 400 meters high, you and I brothers climbed it with their own two hands, in comparison, what kind of play is this pediatrics?" ”

Yang Zhenbang smiled, "That's right!" ”

Zhan Xia Ge knew that a "Black Eagle" helicopter of the Tibetan Provincial Military Region had crashed here, but when Zhan Xia Ge carried Yang Zhenbang on his back and walked halfway up the mountain, Zhan Xia Ge, a hero who changed color even if Mount Tai collapsed on the battlefield, his face suddenly changed.

Because he saw a canyon, in the grass, among the rocks, at the junction of ice and snow, the warrior song could clearly see the white bones of animals and humans.

In the air!

At this time, Zhan Xia Ge suddenly remembered the story that Instructor Long Jianhui told him in order to encourage him when he had just participated in the snow field training camp and tried to conquer the iceberg of more than 400 meters, forcing Instructor Long Jianhui to fight side by side with him.

In Medog alone, the bones of twenty-eight soldiers were buried, including five, whose bodies have not yet been found. It was in this valley of the Duoxiongla Mountains that in the summer of 1985, five soldiers carrying instruments for the Chinese scientific expedition group poured out their blood and loyal souls on this land, and only two years later, the military sub-district formed a transport team with more than 800 horses and mules, of which 94 stumbled and fell into the canyon.

This is a lifeline that has been piled up with blood and tears by Chinese people! The greatest sacrifice was the price paid by the 18th Route Army in 1950 for the construction of the Sichuan-Tibet Highway when it entered Tibet. On just 2,000 kilometers of road, more than 3,000 soldiers fell on their battlefield, in other words, on average, every kilometer of roadbed, 1.5 soldiers of the 18th Route Army fell!

Compared with the Song of War Heroes, they do not have a prominent family background, they have not received the most rigorous and scientific military training, and of course they do not have the powerful combat power that is almost perverted like Song of War Heroes and can stand proudly on the roof of the world.

They are just surviving silently in this harsh environment that is most unsuitable for human survival, and silently shouldering the heavy responsibility of protecting their homes and defending the country. Zhan Xia Ge really didn't expect that he just wanted to show Yang Zhenbang the demeanor of the modern [***] people, but he was moved and shocked first, and it was himself who was shocked!

Yang Zhenbang whispered in the ear of the warrior song: "Let me down!" ”

Yang Zhenbang at this time, although his body was weak and standing there staggering, he pushed away the hand of Zhan Xia Ge, gritted his teeth and puffed up his chest, this revolutionary predecessor who was active on the battlefield of resistance several decades ago, and was finally forced to retreat into Tibetan Province in the enemy's sweep, but was pursued by the enemy, stood on this mountain at an altitude of more than 4,000 meters, facing the white bones in front of him, he suddenly raised his right hand, and he shouted: "Salute!" ”

"Brush!"

Two Chinese [***] people from different eras raised their right hands at the same time and saluted their most solemn military salutes to these soldiers who were buried in other places.

Three hours later, Zhan Xia Ge carried Yang Zhenbang to the Duoxiongla Pass, and suddenly a strong mountain wind blew, mixed with a lot of rain and hail, Zhan Xia Ge was caught off guard, carrying Yang Zhenbang on his back, and he couldn't lie down, he only had time to stretch out his arm to block his face, and the hail the size of a bean grain smashed on his body. Due to the strong Indian Ocean current and the cold of the Tibetan province on the north side of the mountain, the climate of this mountain pass is complex and varied, with heavy rain mixed with hail, snow and avalanches.

After crossing the Duoxiongla Pass and walking through Nag, Zhan Xia Ge set up a tent in Nahanmi and rested for a night, and the next day, Zhan Xia Ge, who had received the most rigorous combat training in the snow field, carried Yang Zhenbang on his back at an astonishing high speed, and reached the back collapse and walked to the bank of the Brahmaputra River. On this rushing and roaring river, there is a liberation bridge made of iron cables. As long as you cross the Yarlung Zangbo River with the help of this Tianzhu Bridge, even if you step on the back collapse, you can basically reach the boundary of Heituo County.

This bridge was built by soldiers thirty years ago. At that time, the Military Commission decided to build a viaduct over the Brahmaputra River to end the history of the Bamen people who had lived in the Metuo Dynasty for generations, crossing the river on rafts. The entire bridge is made of eight thick steel cables with a diameter of 10 centimeters and a length of up to 250 meters. These eight main steel cables alone weigh dozens of tons. Zhan Xia Ge couldn't imagine that those soldiers thirty years ago used what method they used to make it so heavy, in order to ensure the load-bearing, the 250-meter-long steel cable that could not be cut must be sent to the Duoxiongla Pass!

In the memory of Zhan Xia Ge, there is only one data, just to transport these eight steel cables ten centimeters thick and two hundred and fifty meters long, and it took a full hundred days for the transport team composed of those soldiers to set off from Paixiang to here!

How many of them paid the price of their lives, Zhan Xia Ge didn't know, Zhan Xia Ge only knew that what was in front of him was a steel cable viaduct paved with the blood and lives of soldiers! Some time before they came, the water level of the Brahmaputra River suddenly soared dozens of meters, breaking the liberation bridge.

It takes three days to get from Paixiang to this liberation bridge, because the highway is not passable, all of them have to be carried by manpower, and a bag of 100 catties of cement is worth 1,000 yuan when sent here. In order to ensure the bearing capacity, the steel bar cannot be truncated, just a roll of four centimeters of steel bar, the freight of shipping here is as high as 40,000 yuan.

Zhan Xia Ge looked at the Liberation Bridge that had been repaired, and he secretly calculated in his heart, if it was exchanged for the same value, how much should those [***] people from thirty years ago be paid!

Of course there is no pay, because ...... They are military men!

With an inexplicable state of mind, he walked on the steel cable viaduct named "Liberation Bridge", and Yang Zhenbang, who was lying behind the song of the warriors, said in a low voice: "Tell me the song of the warriors, if the superiors order you to participate in the construction of this bridge, what will you do?" ”

How?

Zhan Xia Ge tilted his head and thought carefully.

If Principal Li Xiangshang really ordered him to build this bridge, he, the fangs of the Fifth Special Force, would definitely say to Principal Li Xiangshang that sending him here is disrespectful to talents and a waste of social resources, right? Even if he did, he would never run around the mountains like a donkey with a grinding head, carrying steel wires, cement and other toys on his body. It's okay to be trained with weights, but it's no way to let him be this kind of coolie!

Zhan Xia Ge's body suddenly stagnated slightly, because at this time, Zhan Xia Ge remembered the word that Yang Zhenbang had repeated to him the most these days: privilege!

If it is said that it is the privilege of all soldiers to drive a military vehicle and force a red light, relying on their superb combat skills, he is the third fangs in the history of the Fifth Special Unit, a hero who has sacrificed his life for the army, and the youngest assistant instructor in the history of the Fifth Special Unit...... Is this the personal prerogative of his warrior song?!
