Luo Zhengxiong was right, Yu Hai and the others really had an accident.

When the caravan passed through the Yellow Widow Beach of the Wind Gourd, it encountered a whirlwind, and someone unfortunately went missing. It was almost dusk, and according to the plan, they were going to cross the Yellow Widow Beach and camp in the Wisteria Xiangzhai at the ancient site of Loulan in front. Although the ancient country of Loulan is no longer there, the ruins of Wisteria Xiangzhai are intact, which can not only shelter from the wind and rain, but also allow campers to evoke a reverie of the ancient country of the past. Yu Hai had been there before, and he had a whimsical idea that he must be an archaeologist to solve the mystery of Loulan when he had the opportunity. Now it seems that it can only be a dream, and as soon as the central government gave an order, the 100,000 army became a reclamation warrior, and the vast Gobi did not know if he could go out in this life.

The wind always comes suddenly, walking in the desert, the wind is a trouble you can't escape, you have to learn to deal with it, and take it easy. The good thing is that the sea has long been fearless. When the caravan walked into the Yellow Widow Beach, he reminded everyone that the wind of the wind gourd was different from other places, it came violently, and it swirled quickly. He asked everyone to ride on the camel and tie the body with the camel with a rope, so that the camel would be in the people, and no matter how strong the wind was, the camel would still have a way to deal with it.

Who knows, after just twenty minutes, the camel team was scraped apart, the head of the camel spun out of the Yellow Widow Beach, and the tail camel was still on the other side of the beach. Thirty camels are like thirty peanuts, and let the wind spread on the vast Yellow Widow Beach. The terrain of Yellow Widow Beach is not complicated, it is a rare flat land in Takla, some people jokingly call it the lower belly of Takla, a wild woman, flat and smooth, and diffuse a fragrance. Years ago, it was a swamp.

Yu Hai turned around and looked around for the camel team, fortunately, the guide was not far from him, this is an experienced old camel driver, before the liberation was a famous camel passenger in Xinjiang, known as the "camel five masters", these camels were bought from him. The two men walked south along the beach, and at dawn, they found the twenty-seven camels that had been swept away by the wind.

Count and count, but the only one who is not seen is Wanyue.

What Yu Hai is most worried about is Wanyue, when he entered the Yellow Widow Beach, he also specially explained to Liu Wei that he wanted him to follow Wanyue and ensure her safety, who knows......

"When the wind whirled, I heard her shouting, but the wind was too strong, I ......" Liu Wei, the deputy head of the regiment, stammered, before Yu Hai and they came to find him, he had searched all over the neighborhood, Wan Yue was missing, and he was more anxious than anyone else.

"A group of five, looking in six directions, be sure to find her." Yu Hai didn't care to ask more, and ordered immediately. The caravan that had just gathered quickly separated, lined up in six small squares, and walked slowly from south to north. At this time, a huge sun erupted in the east, and the Yellow Widow Beach, which had been swept by the wind, suddenly brightened.

Yu Hai and they were delayed for two days at the Yellow Widow Beach, and the camel caravan barely rested during the two days, and they walked back and forth on the Yellow Widow Beach three times, searching almost every pothole, and Wanyue was still nowhere to be seen. Yu Hai's heart darkened, he didn't dare to imagine the result, and he couldn't stop praying in his heart, don't let anything happen, don't let anything happen to her. On the evening of the third day, they arrived at the Wisteria Village, which was the suggestion of the guide Camel Wuye. The fifth master of the camel resolutely disagreed with Yu Hai to search for it again. "If she really lets the wind sweep away, your eyes are idle, a pair of naked eyes can't see through the desert, if this desert swallows a person, what's it?" Seeing that Yu Hai didn't want to leave the Yellow Widow Beach, the fifth camel master said, "Do you know why this beach is called the Widow's Beach, it swallowed more than 30 poor people back then, and it was the best gift that the prince carefully selected to give to the outside of Xinjiang." If you don't want to get into trouble again, you should leave quickly. ”

Yu Hai doesn't believe in this, since he was a child, he doesn't believe in ghosts and gods, but what is the use of this? Wanyue can't see anyone alive, no corpse when dead, even if a cadre looks through his eyes, he can't see the shadow that was swept away by the wind. Yu Hai didn't dare to drag it out any longer, he was afraid that Luo Zhengxiong would be in a hurry, and he was even more afraid that this desert beach would suddenly fly into some misfortune. Everyone's mood was very heavy, and no one had the heart to give birth to a reverie for Ziteng Xiangzhai, and silence replaced everything.

Poor Zi Tengxiang ushered in a sad team.

When he got back on the road the next day, the fifth camel suddenly said: "Don't worry, my camel I know that as long as she doesn't leave the camel, the camel can bring her back." ”

"Really?" Yu Hai suddenly had a glimmer of hope in his heart, and stared at the fifth master of the camel in surprise.

The fifth camel avoided his jumping gaze, roared twice into the empty desert, and sang: "Where the sun rises, there is hope, and where the camel bell rings, there is singing, my beloved girl Alayi will not leave me and go away." ”

What a familiar song this is, every soldier who enters Xinjiang has been stained, intoxicated, and inspired by this song. Now that the fifth master of the camel sings it, it is even more unique. The fifth master of the camel is a Han nationality, his hometown is in Inner Mongolia, he sings this song is by no means a praise of love, he uses his singing voice to bring Yu Hai confidence. Yu Hai blasted away those sad thoughts, shaking his spirit, he got a trace of relief from the calmness of the fifth master, yes, my beloved girl Alayi will not leave me and go away.

But as he walked, he suddenly raised his throat and yelled at the desert who couldn't see the end: "If you have the ability, you will swallow us all, you black-hearted, what kind of hero is it to swallow a girl?!" ”

The sound was a bit like a wolf howl. The desert was quiet, extremely quiet.

Only the tireless sound of camel bells.

Everyone's heart is heavy, and no one knows what will happen next.

After another two days, the caravan finally reached Honghaizi. The moment he saw the camp, Yu Hai felt a wave in his heart, this is the common mood of the expedition, every time he meets his comrades, something else will always be born. Luo Zhengxiong had been waiting on the sand beam for a long time, and when he saw Yu Hai, he rushed over excitedly, and the two of them hugged each other tightly, using their bodies to convey what they wanted to say in their hearts.

The Red Sea rose into a burst of joy.

"I lost Wanyue." Yu Hai said, with a deep sense of self-reproach in his voice. Luo Zhengxiong smiled and punched Yu Hai. Yu Hai felt a little strange and glared at Luo Zhengxiong in confusion. Luo Zhengxiong pointed in the direction of the distance and said, "Look. ”

Seeing this, Yu Hai was shocked. On the sand ridge covered with fruit thorns, Wan Yue stood with her back to them, her posture was graceful and long, like a wild rose swaying in the wind, blooming in the fruit thorns. The fruit thorns of the summer spew out a ridge of yellow flowers to the fullest, dyeing the sand beams to be drunk. When the wind blows, the sand ridge shakes.

"Why is she ......" Yu Hai was speechless in shock.

"She's a day before you." As Luo Zhengxiong spoke, he led the camel and led Yu Hai to the camp. There wasn't much surprise on his face, as if Wanyue's disappearance was not something to be surprised about, but Yu Hai was stunned in his mind, this was really a surprise, Wanyue she? As he walked, he kept looking back, and the shadow standing in the wind seemed to arouse something on his mind, but he was indeed not a person with a heart. In the summer desert, because of the appearance of the moon, it once again aroused a joy. In Yu Hai's heart, there was something more for no reason.

While camping, there was a little accident. After the two teams met, Luo Zhengxiong redistributed the nest, because Wanyue resolutely did not sleep in the nest, so he had to set up a simple tent for her on the side of the cooking class, but he didn't think that Du Lili also wanted to squeeze in, so Luo Zhengxiong was ruthless. Du Lili pouted and secretly scolded Luo Zhengxiong for being eccentric, why do you want to make special things for the new female soldiers? On the other side of the cooking class is the tent of the guide Uncle Timur and his daughter Ahargul, the guides never sleep in the nest, and wherever they go, they have their own tents. Luo Zhengxiong originally wanted to set up a small tent for the new guide Fifth Master Camel next to the father and daughter, but he didn't think that Fifth Master Camel had just met Uncle Temur and would never go there again. These two people, who have been walking in the desert all their lives, seem to have some prejudice. Luo Zhengxiong asked a few words, but the fifth camel master didn't say, he led his own camel, walked to two hundred steps away from the camp, took off the big bag on the camel, and set up a tent under the sand ridge a little lonely.

At this time, Ahargul, who had always been active, suddenly fell silent, as if the arrival of the fifth master had disturbed her. Although Luo Zhengxiong didn't say anything, he still firmly remembered the very surprised look in the eyes of the fifth master when he saw Ahargul for the first time.

Uncle Temur seemed to be very generous, took a naan from the tent, and walked towards the sand ridge, but soon, his steps came back, and the fifth master did not like to eat his naan.

Luo Zhengxiong quietly observed all this, and couldn't help but put a few question marks in his heart.

As soon as the team met, the special second regiment was officially established, and Luo Zhengxiong spent a day mobilizing the team before the war. He still couldn't get rid of the habits he had cultivated over the years, and he always attached great importance to pre-war mobilization. Although it was a time of peace, this expedition meant a battle, a battle between man and nature, man and the desert. Whether or not we can win this war will not only test the skills and tactics of the soldiers of the whole regiment, but more importantly, perseverance and confidence. Yes, faith. Luo Zhengxiong said: "During the war years, we were born and died, and we were always ready to insert a sharp knife into the enemy's heart. Now is the era of construction, and we shoulder the mission with iron shoulders. We are a group of monsters, a group of wild wolves, crossing the desert sea, crossing the Gobi, and crossing the swamp...... We are fearless, and our purpose is to plant the red flag on the Tianshan Mountains! ”

Unexpectedly, the team that seemed to be scattered in the past few days suddenly became nervous and serious, including Du Lili, who had been criticized several times, and her expression was solemn at this time, with two bright and sudden eyes, looking at Luo Zhengxiong.

After Luo Zhengxiong finished speaking, Du Lili took the lead in applauding, and between the applause, Luo Zhengxiong glanced at Wan Yue, her hands were not bulging together, but habitually resting on her knees with her fingers crossed. His eyes were passing through the Red Sea, staring into the distance.

According to the plan issued by the division headquarters, the first task of the 2nd Special Regiment was to survey and map the topographic map of the Red Sea.

The team was divided into three groups, the first group was led by Hai and was responsible for surveying and mapping the topographic map of the Red Sea. The second group, led by deputy head Liu Wei and Zhang Xiaotian, surveyed the ancient river channel that once flowed to Honghaizi. This is the largest ancient river channel discovered by the Corps so far, according to legend, more than 200 years ago, this ancient river called Huerma is still rippling, the water is murmuring, one end of it is tied to the Tianshan Mountains, and the other is plunged into the vast desert. Surveying and mapping the ancient river channel will play a very important role in the next large-scale reclamation of farmland by the Corps, so Luo Zhengxiong demanded that all the branches of the ancient river channel be measured within one month. The third group, however, was a bit strange, three people, Luo Zhengxiong, and the two young fighters he brought. As for what to do, Luo Zhengxiong didn't tell everyone. Yu Hai and Liu Wei didn't ask much.

When Yu Hai and Liu Wei accepted this appointment, their superiors repeatedly stressed that they must absolutely obey the command in their actions, and if certain secrets are involved, they must avoid them. "You must not easily suspect anyone, let alone form friction with each other, remember, you have only one mission, which is to provide first-hand information to the large corps."

The team drove into the Red Sea in an uproar, and the guides were divided into two groups to help the soldiers carry their instruments. In Luo Zhengxiong's eyes, these instruments are more important than life, although until now, he still can't fiddle with them.

From a distance, Luo Zhengxiong saw that the first person to set up the theodolite was Wanyue. This woman is really neat, it seems that as soon as she touches the instrument, she becomes another person, and the feeling of willow swaying left to Luo Zhengxiong in two days is instantly gone, he has to admire, the division commander Liu Zhenhai has a vision. On the other end, Zhang Xiaotian and the others also stood at the starting point, and it was the fat man Zhang Shuangyang who ran forward with the leveling ruler. Seeing that she weighs more than 130 pounds, but she is very flexible when she runs, this is a child who can endure hardships, Luo Zhengxiong is very optimistic about her. Her brother used to be a scout under Luo Zhengxiong, and when he quelled the rebellion, he was unfortunately ambushed and buried alive by the rebels.

The red sea in summer, because of this mysterious team, suddenly came alive. A breeze swept by, and Luo Zhengxiong's heart slowly relaxed. After the two groups were all put into work, Luo Zhengxiong turned to the scout and said, "From now on, your task is to supervise everything around Honghaizi around the clock, even if a bird flies in, you must make a note of my appearance." Remember, the Red Sea is just a smokescreen for our opponents, and before we really enter the core area, we must ensure that this team is not infiltrated by the enemy, let alone discovered by the enemy, and if we can't do this, the next step cannot be carried out, and we must not allow the tragedy of the special group to be repeated. ”

The two scouts quickly left after disguising themselves, but Luo Zhengxiong himself sat on the sand beam in a daze.

He had something on his mind. At a secret meeting held by the division headquarters, division commander Liu Zhenhai conveyed the instructions of the corps headquarters. After the accident of the Special First Regiment, the Corps Headquarters launched an investigation, and initially suspected that the Special First Regiment had an internal conspiracy. The Xinjiang separatists and the remnants of the Kuomintang secretly colluded in a vain attempt to overthrow China's new regime, and in order to prevent the red seeds of revolution from being scattered all over the vast territory, they sent spies to infiltrate our special group and wait for an opportunity to take retaliatory action. The day of the accident happened to be the day when the topographic and geological data of the oilfield were explored. In a hurry to report to the headquarters, the Special First Regiment relaxed its vigilance and allowed the hidden hostile elements to take advantage of the situation. According to the information found by the headquarters, two key elements of the 1st Special Regiment and a guide have mysteriously disappeared, and at the same time, all the information on the No. 1 oil field has disappeared. If this information falls into the hands of the enemy, the consequences are unimaginable! Therefore, the command requested that in addition to completing the survey task assigned by the command, the 2nd Special Regiment should try to find the three missing persons. This is also the reason why the headquarters is in a hurry to let the Special Second Regiment urgently go to the desert. At present, the headquarters has tightly sealed all passages out of the desert, and if the missing are still alive, they must be lurking in the desert. In the vast desert, it is indeed difficult to find these three people. But the command believes that Luo Zhengxiong can do it.

Among the officers and soldiers who entered Xinjiang, only Luo Zhengxiong has received special training, and to deal with spies and defectors, Luo Zhengxiong is a trump card of the headquarters!

"You are steel, and you have to use it on the edge of the knife when it matters most. If you compare the desert to the sky, you are an eagle, and now this eagle is going to fly to the sky, and in addition to taking care of your comrades, you have to pounce on the cunning jackal at any time. The division commander Liu Zhenhai was full of infinite expectations for him, and he also knew that it was a bit cruel to suddenly intercept Luo Zhengxiong, but the sudden accident of the special group disrupted the entire plan of the headquarters. At this time, what better way is there than to urgently recall these elite soldiers?

Liu Wei, deputy regiment commander, and Zhang Xiaotian, commander of the second battalion, were both transferred from the list of demobilized jobs and asked the commander to personally transfer them.

It can be seen how determined the headquarters is to form the Second Special Regiment.

However, it has been ten days since he entered the desert, and Luo Zhengxiong has no clue in his mind. He is suspicious of everyone now, and the slightest wind and grass can make his nerves sensitive. Wan Yue disappeared and came back unexpectedly, what happened in the middle, he didn't ask in detail, and she wouldn't say anything if he asked. Luo Zhengxiong is very aware of Wanyue's character, among the existing female soldiers in the Special Second Regiment, she is the most difficult to grasp and the most mysterious one. Also, why didn't the fifth master of the guide camel live with Uncle Temur, and why did he look at Ahargul so strangely?

Who was that dark shadow that night?

These questions must be clarified as soon as possible, otherwise, Luo Zhengxiong himself will lose his way.

The wind is blowing! The desert, which was still full of scorching sun just now, was washed by a black wind in the blink of an eye, dark clouds rose in the sky, and the black wind swept the sand and stones, rushing towards Luo Zhengxiong. Against the bad wind, he went into the camp and took something from his den, and it went away like a leopard.

This is Luo Zhengxiong, no matter how evil the wind is, it can't fascinate his eyes.
