On a summer night, the sky is full of stars, and the waning moon is on one side. The pen %fun %pavilion www.biquge.info in this season when cicadas and frogs chirp. In a small hill, a green military tent lurks quietly in the night. If the shadow appears, it seems to be a small dirt bag.

In an ordinary medical tent at the edge of the tent area, a middle-aged man in military uniform in his thirties was looking at the large sand table in front of him. A dark but handsome face was full of sadness, and both eyebrows were almost wrinkled together. His eyes were bloodshot.

The soldier is our protagonist, named Zhou Tao, with the rank of major general. He was participating in a drill. He was originally found to have a heart attack, but he was disqualified from participating in the exercise. However, at his strong request, he also pointed out that he wanted to test the new weapons, so the chief had to approve him to be the commander-in-chief of the defending blue side of the exercise. But no new weapons can be used.

At this time, Zhou Tao was playing with the ancestral jade pendant in his right hand, which was a very ordinary piece of black jade. The style is simple and resembles a jade pig dragon. According to his adopted father-in-law, when he met Zhou Tao, he was still a baby with only this piece of jade hanging around his neck. His father-in-law, who was already in his prime, was lying in the military hospital. Lives are at stake. It's not that he doesn't care about his father-in-law, but his father-in-law is looking forward to the development and equipment of this new weapon. So he participated in this exercise without hesitation.

Zhou Tao divorced his wife of eight years six months ago, and his wife works in the Organization Department of the Central Committee. They had no children, and Zhou Tao was tired of his wife's growing bureaucracy, and his wife felt that she had no common language with him. So the two readily agreed to the divorce and quickly went through the divorce procedures. Without the slightest procrastination.

The new weapons are so powerful that they are not only powerful, but they can also be combined with a variety of tactics. Now the blue side has suffered heavy losses, and Zhou Tao has almost become the commander of the light pole. It can be said that the current form shows that the defeat of the blue side is only a matter of time. That is, the red side does not attack now, as long as it is midnight tonight, the center of the military exercise will declare the victory of the red side. However, today's soldiers are all educated by a generation of great men that "it is advisable to chase the poor bravely, and not to sell their fame and learn from the overlord". The other party will not give him any respite. Just now, news came from the forward reconnaissance post that the opposing side's special scouts had been spotted two kilometers from there. Obviously, the other party wanted to capture Zhou Tao alive before the exercise.

Time, both red and blue are fighting for time. The red side's decapitation troops had already arrived at the doorstep, and Zhou Tao was not ready to withdraw immediately, because he was waiting, and there was still anticipation on his face. No matter how powerful a new weapon is, the tactics are always in use.

At 23:45 at midnight, the phone rang, Zhou Tao picked up the phone, and only heard what he said on the phone:

"I am xxx, and in my name as the commander-in-chief of the 'xx' exercise, I now declare the end of this exercise. ”

"In this exercise, the blue side wins!"

"Now all the units are immediately assembled, put together, and return to the military region at 6 a.m. on time. ”

Zhou Tao put down the phone and relaxed. Just when he answered the phone, Zhou Tao's nervous cold sweat broke out, and the right hand holding the jade pendant had already broken the palm. Blood and sweat stained the jade pendant.

Finally won, although the new weapon is powerful, but the run-in with the fighters is not good. At the same time, the other party did not guard against him sending a decapitation unit. Speaking of that team, it was still the special operations team he had stayed in a few years ago. At that time, Zhou Tao was the most outstanding soldier in the whole military region and even the whole country, and won the first place in the whole army competition many times, and Zhou Tao also won the title of "all-round champion". He often goes abroad to engage with foreign troops who have orders. Otherwise, how could Zhou Tao be promoted to the rank of major general at the age of 30, even by virtue of his father-in-law's identity as the Central Military Commission.

Just when Zhou Tao was excited, the tent was opened, and a team of soldiers wearing field special operations uniforms and smeared with oil paint on their faces entered. They have no joy of victory, no unwillingness to lose, and only a raging fighting spirit.

The red team waited quietly for nearly a minute before Zhou Tao withdrew his gaze from the sand table. Calmly and slowly said a word:

"You're late!"

"Yes, we're late, and you've won. ”

"We won. After saying this, Zhou Tao fell to the ground.

"Someone, hygienist. The chief fainted!" Seeing Zhou Tao fainting, the red team leader immediately screamed. There was a hint of chaos in the quiet night.

Three days later, at a memorial service, Zhou Tao began his career as a leading role, with a black-and-white photo of him placed in the center of the venue. The venue was full of wreaths, and Zhou Tao lay calmly and peacefully in the wreaths. Because it was a sudden heart attack, coupled with excessive stress. Zhou Tao left safely like this.

In the field, an old man in a black funeral dress who looked to be in his seventies was carrying a dragon-headed cane. looked at Zhou Tao who was lying quietly with a calm face, and Zhou Tao was covered with the national flag at this moment. Covering the national flag is an honor and a recognition of dedication to the country.

The old man is Zhou Tao's father-in-law. At this time, the old man's face was calm. Maybe it's because I saw through life and death. His son, who was the age of his grandson, died. The loneliness in the hearts of the elderly can be imagined.

The old man turned around and staggered out of the memorial hall. Didn't alarm anyone.
