On July 27, 1953, the Korean Armistice Agreement was signed, ending the three-year-long Korean War, drawing a comma to the largest war involving the largest number of troops invested in the country after World War II, and signaling that the conflict could break out again at any time in the future.

New China also invested a lot of troops and material resources for this war in neighboring countries, but at that time, it was only a few years after liberation, and the domestic productivity was relatively low, and many firearms and vehicles were borrowed from the big brother of the Soviet Union. Having said that, if you borrow it, you must pay it back, but the Soviet side doesn't want these equipment and materials that have already experienced the war, so what do they want? It is the bread of the people who feed for heaven. It may also be destined to have such a catastrophe and keep the gateway to the northeast, but because of the lack of grain reserves in various places to return to the Soviet Union, they actually caught up with the natural disasters of those three years and starved to death many people, which were similar to those 42 years, all of which were natural disasters and man-made disasters.

However, although it was said that there was an armistice at that time, it was not easy to defeat the United Nations forces in the 38th parallel peace talks, and for the new China at that time, it should be regarded as a great victory to block the long guns and short cannons of US imperialism. At that time, big-character posters were posted everywhere in the country to publicize the victory of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, and those soldiers who returned from Korea were warmly welcomed by the people when they set foot on the country, and they were all full of joy.

But in the midst of the returning troops, four mysterious trucks without any numbers or markings left North Korea from the Yalu River at night to return home. But no one expected that the last truck would be left behind, and instead of following the three cars in front of it, it slowed down, and then drove into the wilderness without a trace. Then the local military district received an order to mobilize thousands of people to search for trucks in the mountains, and some people found the bodies of two volunteer soldiers in the grass on the side of the road, both of whom were from the car squad. The truck they had been driving that day was the missing one, and all it was carrying was a metal box that had been held securely and securely, with a set of alphanumeric "H-16" printed on the front of the box.

The mountains are full of white snowmen, and the buried peaks are indistinguishable.

The white ice sky is clear and shadowy, and the light shakes the silver sea without life.

The flowers are cold, and the jade is bright day and night.

Looking out over the railing at night. The vastness of the pole is more and more crystalline.

This is a poem describing Changbai Mountain, so many sentences can actually be summed up in one sentence, that is, the snow of Baishan is the most beautiful, and this story starts from this famous mountain in China.

It was at the end of December 1954, when heavy snow covered the top of Changbai Mountain, the temperature plummeted to minus 30 degrees Celsius, and the strong wind blew up the heavy snow, which flew from the bottom to the top and then fell again, plus the snow continued to fall. As far as the eye can see, it is endlessly white, and the sky and mountains and forests in the distance merge into one, which makes people feel a strong fear of white, so the locals will not come to the boundary of Changbai Mountain after the heavy snow closes the mountain.

Heavy snow covers the primeval forest of Laoyeling Nitou Mountain in Changbai Mountain, and there is a small border post in this inaccessible forest. The outpost was also covered in snow, and the material was made of wood from the primeval forest, which was very strong, even if there was a slope of snow on the windward side. is still standing, on the frontier where there is no national boundary monument. This small outpost is a national border monument, a symbol of a country's borders, which cannot be violated by anyone.

The outpost was actually very small, and it was so low that one person was right in it, and two people were too crowded. The three of them couldn't move at all, so only one person stood guard in the post at a time, and the shift was rotated every six hours, and there were border guards stationed twenty-four hours a day, especially for the unstable North Korean cause. The specifications of the guards are also very high, and they are all loaded with live ammunition, which looks quite strict and scary.

The soldiers stationed here don't know how many days they haven't seen a sunny day, the sky is always shrouded in lead clouds from the beginning of the cooling, the endless snowfall and strong winds destroy people's willpower, constantly challenging the bottom line of the soldiers, and those who can't stand it can also apply for transfer, and arrange the field army at the foot of the mountain nearby. But at that time, people didn't know if it was stupid or what's going on, anyway, the mental strength was more than the physical pain, since the founding of the People's Republic of China to establish a border post in Changbai Mountain, no soldier has taken the initiative to apply for transfer, and some were forcibly sent down the mountain because of frostbite and the like, but at that time it was possible to see that the consciousness of steel alone is not enough, and it should be worn more.

At this time, it was eight or nine o'clock in the morning, but the sky was always so dark, the post was facing the direction of North Korea with a small opening, which could be blocked with a wooden plank, which was usually open when it was not windy, and the soldiers were standing in the closed outpost around the window to observe this distance, and if there was an abnormal situation, it could also be used as a shooting hole, and in special periods, it could be shot first and then checked, and there was this privilege.

The treetops that were high up were crushed by the snow and fell, and happened to hit the roof of the outpost, startling the soldiers who were on duty inside, but they didn't dare to go out to check directly, for fear that some wild beast would smell human smell and come to find food, so they quickly pulled the bolt of the gun and carefully probed outside from the small window to check. But as soon as the little soldier poked his head halfway out, he was detained all over his face by the branches that had slipped down from the top of the outpost, and the snow that had been measured, and a lot of fine snow went down the back of his neck into his clothes, and he grinned and threw down his gun and pulled his clothes out of his pants, shaking the snow inside.

At this moment, the small door behind the outpost was slammed open, and the little soldier was still showing his belly so that the cold wind outside blew and he was covered with goosebumps, but he didn't know what opened the door, so he picked up his gun and was about to pick it up, but he heard a familiar young voice.

"Hey! You can't point this gun at your own people! ”

The little soldier raised his hand to block the light and squinted, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief, threw the gun aside again, took off his gloves and stuffed the clothes inside into his pants, and muttered, "Oops! But his mother scared me to death, I'm afraid that this stand guard will make Li Feng's kid have nothing to say about the black blind man eating people to scare, I'm really scared! ”

"Scholars, you are small enough, don't you just occupy a post? Come on, I know you calf can't do it yourself. Come! Grab the gun, let's shift early, and I'll stand for you for the rest! The little soldier at the door raised his hand and pulled down his hat, revealing a cold red face, and exhaling all the heat.

His name is Wu Qi, he is the little seven of the grave team, he has been stationed here for two years, and his experience is not bad, but the most obvious thing is that his Henan dialect has become slightly northeastern. (To be continued......)
