Yunnan in southwest China.

About 100 kilometers from Myanmar, in a deep mountain, it is known locally as Snake Mountain. As the name suggests, there are snakes and rats everywhere in the mountains and forests. There are many species of venomous snakes, so even the locals rarely set foot here.

In addition, China has been emphasizing environmental protection, and there are forest police and other departments, and hunters have been uniformly arranged for employment, and in the last one or two decades, it has been a rare place to visit.

However, in this mountain forest, I don't know when it started, suddenly a ring road into the deep mountains was built. And at the exit at the bottom of the mountain, there is also an army sentry, which strictly prohibits the people from entering the mountain at will.

Subsequently, this deep mountain and old forest became a military restricted area. In addition to feeling fresh at the beginning, it is natural for the local people to get used to it after a long time.

Of course, up to now, the troops in this area still make the local people talk about it and become a topic of conversation after dinner. It's nothing more than surrounding, what the garrison is doing here, making it extremely mysterious.

If they could have traveled all over the country, there would have been no such problems. Because there are many secret military bases like this, even if the nature of the troops in them is different, they all have one thing in common, which is very mysterious.

As usual, a military vehicle descended the mountain to the bazaar to buy food and household items for the day. For this reason, the local people are not surprised, after all, soldiers also need to eat, and food and oil and other things need to go down the mountain every day to buy.

However, today's Baixin, who sells vegetables in the market, is very surprised. Behind this military vehicle. It was followed by two cars with military license plates, and at the back there was a truck full of soldiers with loaded guns.

Together, the four cars drove into the winding dragon-like mountain road and headed for the dense forest.

The second sedan in the middle of the convoy had a license plate that read: Second Gun 00001. A very strange license plate, if it weren't for the fact that the color of the license plate is a unique green color of the Chinese military, I'm afraid no one can see that this is a military vehicle.

In the car, Wang Yunshan was seizing the time to watch the latest situation. He was very concerned about Chen Shao's personal assignment this time. Because this was the first actual combat mission since the establishment of the Second Artillery Corps, he had to pay attention to it.

That year, he suddenly received a secret appointment from Chen Shao. Become the first commander of a special unit. Initially. He also thought that the Second Artillery Corps was developing something like a German train gun or a French cannon. Moreover, he has low expectations for this army, which is a blank for everything.

But as he learned more and more, he walked into the labs he was in charge of. Look at the rows of jet tests. Various data on the design drawing. His heart was filled at once. He began to devote himself wholeheartedly to the construction of the Second Artillery Corps.

After 20 years of development, a unit that has zero everything has now initially become an important part of the military strength of the Chinese National Defense Forces. This is not only the efforts of various scientific laboratories. There are also the struggles of many pioneers.

After 20 years of silence, Wang Yunshan only spends a few days with his family every year, and the rest of the time he seems to disappear into the world. He wasn't originally a quiet person, but he could accept this burden, and he experienced a lot of things that he hadn't experienced before.

Every time I meet my family, I am in a hurry, and I get together with my comrades-in-arms for a short time. Since the launch of the spy satellite, he has not made a trip home for four consecutive years. If it weren't for the exchange of letters and phone calls, he would have been forgotten by the world.

Such days were finally coming to an end, and when he began to accept this task, he clearly felt that the day had come when the Second Artillery Corps would truly become an army. Many requests for war were not allowed, and this time it was an order given by Chen Shao himself. This made him feel extremely relieved and touched by recognition.

Wang Yunshan never regretted participating in the construction of the Second Artillery, not only because of his love for artillery, but also because of the very important point, this was the order given to him by Chen Shao. Like Wang Jie, they were all taught by Chen Shao, and all kinds of knowledge passed down by Chen Shao personally back then are still clearly remembered in his mind.

recalled the first full meal he ate back then, remembered how he said goodbye to famine back then, remembered the first word he knew back then, remembered every class Chen Shaojiao handed over back then, remembered his first day as a soldier, and remembered Chen Shao's many admonitions to him. All of this constantly motivates him to move forward.

There are gains and sacrifices, and loyalty and filial piety cannot be achieved since ancient times. Wang Yunshan has a very deep understanding of this sentence. To this day, he dreams of finding a time to spend time with his family, but the responsibility and mission of a soldier make his dream an unattainable luxury. At least for now.

At the beginning, Chen Shao asked him very solemnly: "Do you regret it?" ”

His answer was firm: "For the sake of the Chinese nation, in order to wash away the shame of a hundred years, I will not regret it!" ”

The three shining gold stars on his shoulders, the medal box placed at home, and the merit books all prove his efforts.

When the convoy arrived at the military base deep in the mountains, the soldiers in the base had already lined up and waited for Wang Yunshan's arrival. Except for the defensive troops patrolling the mountain, all the officers and soldiers in this military base gathered in the school grounds.

The convoy slowly stopped outside the school yard, and when Wang Yunshan stepped out of the car, a colonel officer with the rank of colonel trotted over, saluted Wang Yunshan, and said: "Luo Junyuan, commander of the 23rd Missile Regiment of the Second Artillery Corps of the Chinese National Defense Forces, has met the commander. ”

Wang Yunshan also returned a military salute and said, "Hard work." ”

"Misfortune bitter! Now that the troops have been assembled, I would like to invite His Excellency the Commander to give a pre-battle speech. Commander, please. Luo Junyuan made a gesture of please, and then walked to the school grounds.

Nodding, Wang Yunshan followed behind Luo Junyuan and walked towards the school field.

Under the watchful eyes of all the officers and men, Wang Yunshan strode onto the podium and stood under the fluttering Chinese flag, the flag of the National Defense Army, and the flag of the Second Artillery Corps. Although he didn't see those familiar launch vehicles in the school field, seeing the neat team in front of him, Wang Yunshan also felt a sense of pride in his heart.

"Stand upright, salute!"

With Luo Junyuan's order, the officers and soldiers below moved in unison, standing upright and saluting.

"Straddle, now I would like to give a speech to His Excellency the Commander." Luo Junyuan spoke again.

After the salute, after Luo Junyuan's order again, all the officers and soldiers pinned their hands behind their backs, spread their feet apart, and stood across. All eyes were on Wang Yunshan, waiting for his speech.

"Ladies and gentlemen, everyone stays in the deep mountains and old forests, and is in the company of snakes, rats, cicadas and insects every day. On behalf of the 50,000,000 people of China and His Majesty the Emperor Zhongxing of the Chinese Empire, I would like to say to you: hard work! Walking to the microphone of the podium, Wang Yunshan saluted the officers and soldiers below and said loudly.

"Serve the people, swear allegiance to China, and be loyal to Your Majesty!" Hearing Wang Yunshan's words, everyone shouted in unison. No one has taken the lead, and there is no need to take the lead, because this sentence has been deeply engraved in the hearts of all officers and soldiers. This is their only belief, the unchanging faith.

Hearing the neat and high-pitched roar, Wang Yunshan nodded with satisfaction and spoke again:

"We are an unknown army, a unit that has never appeared in front of the world, a unit that has never participated in actual combat, and a young army.

We do not have the huge number of the army, the mighty and domineering fleet of the navy, and the eagle of the air force. But we have a lot of destructive power that they don't have.

From the moment the world knows about us, the world will remember us and the enemy will fear us.

The moment we show up, we will prove our efforts in the past 20 years with our records.

Reciprocate the Empire's expectations of us, and repay Your Majesty's boundless trust in us.

The sword is in the sky, the longbow is in full swing, and the fire is erupting.

The sound shook the sky, and the thunderbolt shook the sky.

Today's carved bow is full of moon, and dare to calm the wolf smoke. ”

Wang Yunshan's voice fell again, and the officers and soldiers below had been aroused by him:

"Kill the enemy with a sharp sword, and punish the enemy with a long bow."

"Kill the enemy with a sharp sword, and punish the enemy with a long bow."

……

Waving his hand, he motioned for everyone to be quiet. When the school field fell into calm again, Wang Yunshan spoke again: "Now, our opportunity has come, and the opportunity to prove our strength to the empire and His Majesty has come. This battle will not only test our combat effectiveness, but also test our actual combat capability.

It's not an experiment, it's a failure to start over. The equipment used is not a test product, but a real thing. This time, the result is not only known to us, in Hanjing, His Majesty Zhongxing is always watching our actions. He's waiting for our good news.

Do you have the confidence to complete this task? ”

"Yes! Yes! ……”

The atmosphere reached its peak, and the morale of the officers and men also reached its peak. When Wang Yunshan said that Chen Shao was always paying attention to this action, such a result was already doomed.

"Disbanded, all units immediately go back and prepare for launch, every detail must be carefully and carefully. There is absolutely no room for error. Luo Junyuan took Wang Yunshan's microphone at the right time and said with a full temperament.

Not only is the mood of the soldiers high, but he, as the supreme commander of the base, is not very excited. Staying in this place, none of them ever thought to prove themselves.

It's not that they haven't thought that even if they pick up their rifles and attack with the army, they won't have to stay in this place where ghosts can't see a single one and get rusty. They are not afraid to go to war, they are not afraid of bloodshed and sacrifice. But they are afraid of being ignored, afraid of not being able to prove their role.

They are worried that they will be forgotten by the state and forgotten by the world. Every time I went home to save my family, whenever I was asked about the troops, I could only answer with the army regulations. The navy, army, and air force are not on the same side, and they want to be able to say loudly one day, when they are in the unit where the problem is: "I am from the Second Artillery Corps." ”

After years of anticipation, the opportunity has finally arrived. How can this keep them calm, they've been calm for too long. (To be continued.) )
