Koguqin fell into great grief.

The mountains are silent, the water is silent, and the heavens and the earth are gloomy.

When Luo Zhengxiong and the others arrived, it was already the afternoon of this day. After the rain, the black chicken cliff showed a blood-colored tranquility, and the scene in the valley was miserable. All of them lost their voices at that moment, as if this valley of blood, this crazy collapsing stone cliff, was a ruthless sword, and it instantly sealed the throat.

Political commissar Yu Hai was the first to run towards Situ Bilan, and the tragic scene was so terrifying that he didn't dare to open his eyes. Situ Bilan's right leg was pressed under the stone, and that leg was clearly broken, and he no longer listened to the call. Situ Bilan was dying, struggling to open her mouth, but she couldn't speak. She carried the head of the old steel cannon in her arms.

Can that be called a head?

Even on the battlefield, Yu Hai had never seen such a bloody head! The head of the old steel cannon smashed the evil stone that rolled down in the morning, half of it was gone, and the other half of the flesh and blood were blurred and rotten on Situ Bilan's hands. Yu Hai didn't know how to rescue Situ Bilan, maybe he hadn't saved him at all, how could he still have the strength to save people. That scene, it was fortunate that he didn't pass out.

That night, a fast horse carried Situ Bilan, who had broken his leg, to the division headquarters overnight. Embracing Situ Bilan was the guide Hashida. This twenty-one-year-old young man saw such a bloody scene for the first time in his life, but he didn't fall, he gritted his teeth and galloped wildly, calling the name of Situ Bilan who he wanted to call but didn't dare to call in his heart.

The sorrow lasted for a whole month. It was not only political commissar Yu Hai and regiment commander Luo Zhengxiong who were hit by sorrow, but every heart of the special second regiment was clouded, darkened, and bleeding in the face of this huge disaster. After getting the news, division commander Liu Zhenhai led a team to Keguqin and held a grand funeral for the victims in the hazy Wuji Cliff. That day, the mute Black Chicken Cliff was awakened by the sound of gunfire, and it opened its drowsy eyes to witness its sins again. The sound of gunfire was sounded by the soldiers of the Second Special Regiment, and in this barren mountain range, every gunshot was the tragic cry of the soldiers, unwillingness, and the most affectionate and painful call for the victims. After the gunshot, all hearts sank into silence, into remembrance, and into cold thoughts about life......

In view of the catastrophic disaster that occurred at Wuji Cliff, division commander Liu Zhenhai ordered the 2nd Special Regiment to suspend operations and withdraw all of them to the bottom of the mountain. The Political Department of the Corps sent all the information of the victims, invited comrades who had fought with them to tell their deeds, and recalled every day when they were alive. Division commander Liu Zhenhai wanted to use this way to express the second division's sorrow for the victims. In addition, this disaster also exposed the loopholes in the management of the Special 2nd Regiment, which did not fall under the guns of the enemy, but fell in their own negligence. If you can know more about Wuji Cliff in advance, even if you go to the top of the cliff to take a look, maybe this disaster will be spared. In view of the many problems exposed by the 2nd Special Regiment, division commander Liu Zhenhai urged all the soldiers of the regiment to treat this mission with a high degree of vigilance and sensitive political awareness, and absolutely not to take any chances, still less to be ideologically paralyzed.

At the on-site meeting held by the division headquarters, regiment commander Luo Zhengxiong and political commissar Yu Hai both made a profound review, especially Yu Hai, who almost finished the review with tears.

After the meeting, political commissar Yu Hai, accompanied by personnel from the Political Department of the Corps, left Keguqin. Division commander Liu Zhenhai explained to Luo Zhengxiong like this: "Let him go back to the division headquarters to help the division solve the aftermath and comfort the families of the martyrs." In addition......" Liu Zhenhai hesitated for a long time before saying: "Situ Bilan has no legs, and he doesn't know how to make trouble after waking up, at this time, if he doesn't go, he can't say it." ”

Luo Zhengxiong was speechless. This disaster dealt him a fatal blow. As the head of the Second Special Regiment, he knows that he has an unshirkable responsibility. He was indeed a little negligent, which had never been done in his previous work, why could he make such a mistake now?

Luo Zhengxiong fell into thinking, from the moment he heard the bad news, his heart was tormented by deep self-blame, and when he arrived at the Black Chicken Cliff, he saw the terrifying scene and the bloody scene, and what rolled in his heart was not only self-blame, but repentance and hatred. No, it's everything, it's all there. He finally realized that in these days of the Second Special Regiment, a terrible thing was quietly growing on his body, thinking about the past years, thinking about the days of the Sharp Knife Battalion, he found that he had changed, became careless, became proud, and became less concerned about difficulties and dangers. He remembered what he had told his soldiers in the past: "In the face of any unknowable situation, we must be cautious in the face of a great enemy, strategically contemptuous, and tactically we must pay more attention to it." It was this kind of change that led to the relaxation of the thinking of the whole regiment and the slackness of action. It was this change that made him gradually move away from the warrior, becoming closed-minded, conceited, and even ......

"I'm guilty......" On that day, in front of the soldiers of the whole regiment, he made such a remorse. But what's the use of that? Thirty-four lives, thirty-four brothers and sisters, went like this, and remained in Koguqin forever, never to see their laughter again, never to hear their singing again. Yes, singing. He thought that on the moonlit night when he first came to Koguqin, the warriors danced and sang around the campfire, stirring the beautiful grassland so that even the grass danced.

"You shouldn't blame yourself too much, if something like this happens, no one will feel good in their hearts. But this is the Keguqin, the moment we step on it, death follows us, we are fighting against death, we are playing hide and seek with death......" That day in Wuji Cliff, the deputy head Liu Wei persuaded him. From the moment the disaster occurred, Liu Wei's role was prominent. This iron-clad man, he usually can't see how important he is, but at the moment of life and death, his composure and calmness have become the key to the special second regiment to survive the crisis. I remember that in Honghaizi, whenever there was a dispute with the political commissar Yu Hai over understanding or decision-making, and when there was a disagreement, he always stood up and silently supported him. There is too much content in this support, not only the deep friendship between brothers, but also the maintenance of the overall situation of this new collective. Yes, to maintain the overall situation, he always does it so well, never fights for merit, never catches the eye, silently makes up for his mistakes and fills his loopholes. Only now did Luo Zhengxiong really understand the good intentions of the division to send Liu Wei to him as an assistant. But he always did it intentionally or unintentionally, and neglected him many times.

Maybe after being in charge for a long time, I unconsciously have a bad problem.

Almost all of the rescue and aftermath work were done by Liu Wei, but he seemed to be stunned and stupid by this sudden disaster. Until now, he couldn't slow down.

If you can't slow down, you have to slow down, this is a soldier!

After thinking about it repeatedly, Luo Zhengxiong handed over a petition to the division commander Liu Zhenhai, asking the division headquarters to punish him and dismiss him. It's not a show, it's not acting for others to see. What should be borne by oneself must be borne by oneself, otherwise the conscience will be disturbed for the rest of one's life.

Liu Zhenhai has never expressed his position, he can't express this attitude.

Half a month later, the division headquarters made a decision to deal with it, and it did not deal with anyone except for the ideological rectification of the special second regiment. Luo Zhengxiong did not know that at the beginning, the division headquarters suggested that he be punished, but the corps headquarters vetoed the opinion of the second division and demanded that the second division proceed from reality and the overall situation, and not easily impose additional responsibilities on anyone who should not be added, but the ideological paralysis and the loopholes in the work must be solved, and they must be solved thoroughly.

Subsequently, Zhang Xiaotian was appointed as the political commissar of the regiment. It is reported that as soon as Situ Bilan woke up, she shouted frantically: "My legs, my legs—" She refused to take medicine, refused treatment, and even refused to live. On two occasions he struggled to get out of bed and tried to kill himself. After careful consideration, the division invited her father and the fifth aunt. Situ Kongden is worthy of a generation of talents, in the face of his daughter with a broken leg, he behaved quite strongly, and the old man's deep understanding of righteousness won the high respect of the commanders and fighters of the Corps, and under his patient persuasion, Situ Bilan agreed to accept treatment.

The fifth aunt cried as soon as she heard the news, and these days, she washes her face with tears almost every day. She grabbed Situ Bilan's hand, often crying silently, and that scene made too many people cry.

Political Commissar Yu Hai was even more surprising, as soon as he arrived at the hospital and saw Situ Bilan, he suddenly changed as a person, and he was no longer the strict Yu political commissar that people had seen in the past. Like a child, he not only cried bitterly, but also knelt down to Situ Kongden in front of everyone.

"I'm sorry for you, I'm sorry for you......"

On the same day, he submitted his resignation report to the division headquarters, requesting the division headquarters to remove him from his post and let him stay by Situ Bilan's side with peace of mind and take care of her recovery.

A wave of cold air hit the Special 2nd Regiment, and this cold air did not come from nature, but from within the Special 2nd Regiment. After the Wuji Cliff disaster, the 2nd Special Regiment carried out a major internal adjustment, and because the original group was heavily damaged, the regimental headquarters decided to combine the three into two, temporarily abandon the measurement of the eastern vein, and all the troops moved westward, concentrating on completing the measurement of the western vein. The assault battalion set up before the rain and snow also ran aground for various reasons and did not go to the target as originally planned. Although the disaster has passed, the shadow remains in the hearts of every soldier, and for a while, the soldiers almost talked about the change of color of the rain and the color of the cliff. Luo Zhengxiong and Liu Wei thought of many ways, but they couldn't completely bring the soldiers out of the shadows.

At this time, Wanyue caused trouble again, she violated the rules of the group, went out at night without authorization, and refused to explain what she did when she went out at night.

It was Du Lili who exposed Wanyue, saying that it was not appropriate to expose Xing, but Du Lili was also loyal to her duties and did her duty as a soldier. But Luo Zhengxiong's fire was indeed shaken up by her.

The regimental headquarters held several meetings in succession, arguing whether the assault battalion should rise to the challenge and give the whole regiment a good start. Luo Zhengxiong was a little hesitant, believing that if the current conditions have changed, there should be a change in strategy and tactics. Zhang Xiaotian doesn't think so: "What is a tactic, I think that stepping on difficulties and dangers under our feet and facing everything with high morale and the belief of victory is the tactic we need." We can't stop the whole regiment just because we sacrifice a group! ”

"Comrade Xiaotian, now is not the time for us to talk big and sing high-pitched, we must think about the lives and safety of the soldiers of the whole regiment." Luo Zhengxiong was a little excited.

"What's the matter? Hold your arm or crane your neck? If that's the case, it's better to withdraw the koguqin. Zhang Xiaotian's attitude is a bit unexpected, it is said that he has just arrived at the position of political commissar, and he should pay more attention to the attitude of talking to Luo Zhengxiong.

Luo Zhengxiong didn't care about this, he knew Zhang Xiaotian, this is a person who laughs when he hears the bones of a war. Seeing that he usually sees female soldiers and giggles, he makes himself like a playboy, and he gets carried away about everything, but in fact, in his heart, he is more eager to do a real fight. The establishment of an assault battalion was his and Zhang Shuangyang's idea, and the two of them had already been gearing up and eager to try. Now that he suddenly wants to stop the operation of the assault battalion, how can he stand it.

"At the moment, the morale of the army is unstable, and the soldiers have a lot of ideas, will rashly engaging in an assault at this time lead to other problems?" Luo Zhengxiong patiently explained to him.

"What can go wrong, it's a big deal to sacrifice another group. When a soldier is afraid of sacrifice, what kind of soldier should he be? When he said this, Zhang Xiaotian suddenly lost his mouth. It is indeed a bit immature to say this kind of thing at this time. Sure enough, Luo Zhengxiong's face was dark and ugly.

Liu Wei finally opened his mouth, not thinking that this time he was not on Luo Zhengxiong's side, but expressed his attitude straightforwardly. "I agree with Xiaotian's opinion, we can't stop, we can't delay, the more we have to show our attitude. The soldiers are actually looking at the three of us, and if the three of us are afraid, the whole regiment will be afraid. ”

"I'm not afraid!" Luo Zhengxiong suddenly became angry.

In the end, the matter did not discuss a result, and because Luo Zhengxiong insisted on not allowing the assault battalion to operate, Liu Wei and they had no choice. Who knew that as soon as the meeting ended, Luo Zhengxiong had not left the tent, Du Lili walked in and said, "I want to report Wanyue." ”

"Report Wanyue?" Luo Zhengxiong was a little surprised.

"You can't cover her up this time." Du Lili said again.

"When did I shield her?" Luo Zhengxiong's voice revealed dissatisfaction, Du Lili has been in a very abnormal mood recently, and often asks him for inexplicable things.

"You've been shielding her, haven't you? She is now the second in the second special regiment, how can she still look like a soldier. As long as this topic is brought up, Du Lili will be endless.

"If you have something to say, don't talk nonsense!" Luo Zhengxiong interrupted her impatiently.

"Just say it!" Du Lili seemed to be agitated by some kind of emotion, and her chest was bulging one after another, as if she had formed a deep hatred with Wanyue. Sure enough, when she opened her mouth again, it was Luo Zhengxiong's turn to be shocked.

"Don't think that others don't know what she does, since she entered the Special Second Regiment, she has never broken off her contact with the outside world."

"What are you talking nonsense?!"

"I'm talking nonsense, listen to what the comrades say, which one doesn't suspect her? I don't believe you can ask her, where did she go last night? ”

"Last night?" Luo Zhengxiong wondered even more, when it was dark last night, he and Wanyue met, but they didn't stay together for long, and then the meeting was held, he didn't let the team leaders participate, what could happen?

Du Lili pouted, as if she had something to say. Luo Zhengxiong couldn't bear it anymore, so he threw down Du Lili and went to another tent to find Wanyue. Wan Yue was not there, Zhang Shuangyang was talking to Tian Yuzhen, and when they saw him, the two hurriedly got up and saluted. "What about Wanyue?" Luo Zhengxiong asked.

"I'm not there, I seem to have come in just now, I don't know where this one went." Tian Yuzhen said.

"Get her back for me!" Luo Zhengxiong said fiercely.

Ten minutes later, Wan Yue entered the tent where he lived, and at a glance, Luo Zhengxiong saw that Wan Yue had mud on her trouser legs and her shoes were also muddy.

"Say, what did you do out there?"

"Didn't do anything."

"Why didn't you run out and do nothing, you didn't return overnight, do you know what the rules are in the group?"

"Yes."

"Know why you're going out?!"

Wan Yue was silent, lowered her head, and twisted her hands together, looking very aggrieved.

"Say, what the hell are you doing?" Luo Zhengxiong was really anxious, and Wan Yue's face was clearly filled with layers of doubts. Since the accident at Wuji Cliff, the regiment has repeatedly stipulated that no one is allowed to leave the camp at night without special circumstances. As an important member of the Special Second Regiment, it is impossible for Wan Yue not to know the consequences of violating the regulations, but why did she ......

"I can't answer you." After being silent for a long time, Wan Yue raised her head and said.

"Guard!" Luo Zhengxiong shouted outside, and some guards came in when they heard the sound. "Take her away and lock her up!"

Wan Yue was locked up in confinement.

Liu Wei, the deputy head of the regiment, rushed over when he heard the sound and asked what had happened. Luo Zhengxiong said fiercely: "You go to ask her, you really spoil her." ”

After a while, Liu Wei walked in again and said with a gloomy face: "There may be an article here." ”

"What article?"

"Qi Shun told me just now that Jiang Tao of the first battalion was not in the camp last night, will he ......?"

"Jiang Tao is not here? Why not report such an important situation?! ”

Qi Shun said......"

"Say what?"

"Last night, Gulmi had a fever, and he helped decoction the medicine, so he ......"

"Bastard!"

All of a sudden, the situation became complicated. Qi Shun had been following Jiang Tao, and Jiang Tao's every move was under secret surveillance. Recently, Jiang Tao has behaved very calmly, and he doesn't see any suspicion at all. After the accident, Jiang Tao was more sad than anyone else, and took the initiative to report to the regiment headquarters to ask for punishment. He is the person in charge of the group where the accident happened, and sometimes when Yu Hai arrives at that group, he will also go to other groups. Cadres at and above the battalion level take turns to guide the work in each group, and they do not have specific measurement tasks on their shoulders, but mainly to coordinate the work of the whole group. Due to his current special status, he belongs to the object of secret surveillance, and more often, Yu Hai is with him. After a group of accidents, the work in the regiment was hectic, but the monitoring of him was relaxed.

"Did he really go out?" When the three of them sat together again, Luo Zhengxiong asked Liu Wei and Zhang Xiaotian. Liu Wei didn't answer, Zhang Xiaotian said with a red face: "He asked me last night, just before the meeting, it was said that there was a group of soldiers who had diarrhea and couldn't stop it, he went to the bottom of the mountain to find herbs, and I agreed." ”

Luo Zhengxiong and Liu Wei looked at each other, monitoring Jiang Tao's affairs, Zhang Xiaotian didn't know, he was only a battalion commander before, he couldn't talk about it, and he didn't bother to tell him these days. really responded to that sentence, the more I wanted to do it foolproof, the more mistakes I made. It seems that there are still too many loopholes in their work, which is also the biggest problem that the Special Second Regiment has exposed so far.

After a period of silence, Luo Zhengxiong asked again: "What time did he go out?" ”

"It's a little past eight o'clock, and it's just getting dark." Zhang Xiaotian said.

"What about Wanyue?"

Liu Wei answered: "I asked Zhang Shuangyang, Wanyue was still in the camp at eight o'clock, and she didn't pay attention to what time she didn't see." ”

"What about the guards, what do the guards do to eat, they can't even look at a camp, what kind of guards are they supposed to be?"

"I asked the guard on duty last night, and he said that Wanyue replied that you approved it, so he didn't dare to stop it."

Luo Zhengxiong was silent, Wan Yue had done this more than once, he had endured it the first few times, this time, did he have to endure it?

"Now we have to figure out, what did Jiang Tao go out for, and when did he come back?" Afraid that Luo Zhengxiong would blame himself too much, Liu Wei interjected.

At this point, Luo Zhengxiong had to say something.

After listening, the deputy head Liu Wei and Zhang Xiaotian were stupid and dumb.

It turns out that behind Wanyue, there are too many hidden secrets!
