In the spring city of November, during the day, it is like a mother's hand, gentle and intoxicating, and at night, it seems to become the hand of the stepmother, pumping people to death. Meng Feng and I wrapped ourselves in a military coat, shrunk in the office of the brigade headquarters trembling and writing the report, the snot fell down, and I didn't bother to wipe it on the paper, racking our brains to write the report more profoundly, but I held back two words in three minutes, and I couldn't finish writing it at dawn. I was irritated and was about to go out for a walk, but as soon as I went out, I saw the sentry staring at me deadly, and it felt like a fugitive was being spied on, and I felt furious at the sight. I hurriedly retreated into the house, and the more I thought about it, the more wrong it became, the self-defense post that originally had only one sentry was specially added tonight, and the grass, the colorful flags and gongs and drums were displayed during the day, were they all acting? Looking at Meng Feng, who didn't care at all, I felt very uneasy, what would I do with him after I made a report tomorrow? Judging from this situation, I would have put him in a confinement room. Just as I was thinking, a shrill whistle suddenly sounded in the silent night sky.

The "Xiuxiu" tower blew the whistle for an emergency assembly, and then ran quickly to the brigade headquarters.

"Urgently assemble, you two are still rubbing a fart," Iron Tower's face swelled.

"Is the report still written?" I raised the paper in my hand that looked like I was wiping my buttocks.

The tower was nauseated for a while, and scolded angrily, "Roll the calves, gather quickly, there is a task".

I didn't hesitate any longer, I rushed out with an arrow step, the sentry on duty had already opened the gate, and several Dongfeng EQ diesel personnel carriers rushed in from the outside, and at the same time, the soldiers of the squadrons of the recruit company were ready to go, crackling and gathering next to the personnel carriers. Meng Feng and I packed our backpacks as fast as we could, just in time for the troop to pedal the bike. Even the pre-war mobilization was waived, what an urgent task it should be, and the recruits' faces were full of horror, "Is this going to war?" someone asked in fear. There was a deathly silence in the carriage, squad leader Zhao had a tense face, and the muscle lines on his cheeks were particularly obvious in the night, such an urgent task, he had encountered it for the first time since he joined the army, no matter what, he couldn't mess with himself first.

"Nonsense, just rely on you recruits who haven't even touched a gun, what kind of battle to fight, cheer up, look at yourself, how can you look like a soldier, all of them are cowards" After more than an hour, the car went on the dirt road, and the iron frame of the troop carrier shook loudly, and we sat in the carriage and did not dare to fall to the ground at all, so after driving for about four or five kilometers, the car suddenly stopped, and the birds and birds that could not be named around were surrounded by black holes, and there were bursts of mournful wails, which cast a shadow on everyone's originally anxious hearts. The tower blew the whistle and we ran towards him as fast as we could.

"Comrades, the time to stand the test has come, after receiving the notice of the corps, at 5:15 p.m. today, a forest fire broke out in Ning'an City, southern Yunnan Province, and the fire was so rapid that it had burned from Ning'an to the suburbs of Chuncheng, and the Armed Police Forest Corps and the 17th and 19th Divisions of the People's Liberation Army had been put into battle one after another, and the task of our detachment was to open up a fire passage in the area of Karma Mountain and pave the way for the transportation of heavy firefighting vehicles and equipment. Political Commissar Zhang gave a concise introduction to the mission, and then Division Commander Wang made arrangements for the division of labor, and our recruit company was responsible for clearing the road opened up by the troops in the front, and opening the road in the primeval forest was incredible just thinking about it, but the fire ground was like a battlefield, and in front of the motherland and the people, we had no reason to retreat.

Southern Yunnan Province belongs to the mountainous plateau terrain, the mountainous plateau accounts for more than 90 percent of the total area of the province, the mountains between the cities are connected, Ning'an is only 40 kilometers away from the spring city, and the spring city is affected by the subtropical plateau mountain monsoon climate at low latitude north latitude, the rainfall in winter is small, the forest is particularly dry, and the fire borrows the wind.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry, there is only half an hour at most" Senior Commander Wang kept scratching the few remaining hairs on his head, the time was tight, the task was heavy, and it would not work if he did not take extraordinary measures.

The veterans are divided into a number of small sections on the steep cliff wall in the platoon as a unit, limited by the conditions, the only individual equipment available for use is the hand-held chainsaw, firewood knife and other relatively primitive felling equipment, the soldiers have their palms sharpened off the skin without saying a word, it is this fearless spirit of not being afraid of death, not afraid of hardship, has created the third division's iron fist, sharp knife prestige.

The division commander's eyes were moist, and he rushed over and grabbed the arm of a little soldier, what kind of hands this is, it was already bloody and unrecognizable, "You, go down and rest, and replace me" couldn't help but say, snatching the blade of the curled firewood knife from his hand.

"Division commander, I can still fight" The young soldier's childish face was full of resolute expressions, sweat rolled down his forehead into his eyes, and he didn't even blink an eye.

"This is an order, obey the order 、、、、"

The hearts of the soldiers were boiling, and they all went crazy and waved the tools in their hands, and they opened up a fireproof barrier with a diameter of more than ten meters on the cliff where the birds were extinct, and the fire was getting closer and closer, and the detachments accelerated the speed of opening the barrier, and the roaring fire snake roared and swallowed up the dead branches at our feet, making a crackling sound, and the scorching waves of fire passed in front of me, and I seemed to smell the smell of burnt hair, and the left side of the barrier had become a sea of red.

"The situation is urgent, all the recruit companies are on top of Lao Tzu" Captain Xu Shaofeng threw away the trunk in his hand and smashed a spark in the sea of fire. This irascible old man with black teeth has the same temper as this raging fire.

The tenacious style of the veterans who fought desperately shocked them and infected them, and the recruits shouted to grab the equipment from the supply truck and join the ranks of the veterans.

Meng Feng never thought that he would love this army so much one day, everyone he knew was really cute, being a soldier was a depressing thing for him, but at this moment, he understood that he was actually like these people, with the same enthusiasm as fire in his heart.

"Meng Feng, don't get too far aside, it's dangerous" I looked at the crazy Meng Feng in front of me, and I couldn't help but sweat for him.

"Take care of yourself, I have my own measure" Meng Feng seemed to be extremely repulsed by my concern, maybe he didn't really get rid of that incident.

The wind is getting stronger and stronger, the flames are getting higher and higher, and the separation zone is less than five meters away to be connected.

"Boys, work hard, and you'll be about to succeed" Captain Xu mustered up his energy, this time the recruit company can increase its face, and if you work harder, the battle to dig through the isolation zone is the first merit of the recruit company. The captain took the lead, and the soldiers were very excited, and they rushed over.

Just when everyone thought victory was in sight, a scream full of terror was heard from the crowd, "The mountain has fallen, run".

Everyone immediately tensed their nerves, and ran back in a swarm, I kept an eye on Meng Feng's actions, his state today made me very uneasy, the fire scorched the mountain wall, and the broken stones fell down in pieces, he didn't even feel a trace of danger, and still frantically chopped down the small tree that was almost scorched.

"Meng Feng, hurry up," I desperately tried to drag him over, but the frantically fleeing crowd pushed me backwards, and he finally cut down the tree, and the moment the tree fell, it plunged into a sea of fire along with the ground on which he stood. The screams of everyone rang out, and the Xu brigade, which was running at the end, turned around and happened to see Meng Feng being engulfed in flames. He gritted his teeth and sizzled, and shouted at the soldiers who were fleeing frantically, "Go down to Lao Tzu to save people, and whoever runs again will be treated as a deserter", and after saying that, he rushed towards the place where Meng Feng fell.

"Lao Xu," the instructor closed his eyes painfully, he knew too much about this partner for many years, he only had soldiers in his eyes, for his own soldiers, he could not even want his life, the deserter in the eyes of others, in his eyes, was just a soldier, exactly the same soldier as all soldiers, what is the love of soldiers like a son, the moment he jumped into the sea of fire, everyone cried.

The division commander cried, and he remembered how Lao Xu looked at the smoke all over the ground a few days ago

The commissar cried, he knew that this old man with a foul mouth would never come back.

The instructor also cried, and at this moment, how he wished that he would hear someone call him "Old Han" again.

The tower also cried, and the captain's black-faced lecture was still vivid.

I cried too, and I wanted to tell him that his mouth full of black teeth wasn't ugly.

All the warriors cried, because no one would scold them any more little bunnies.

The fire was stopped, but no one could feel the joy of victory, and the black smoke billowing hills were filled with silent choking. The road was opened, the waterwheel drove up from the bottom of the mountain, the firefighters sprayed countless water dragons at the place where they fell, and splashed layers of white mist when they touched the hot rocks, the iron tower took Zhao squad leader and a few veterans to slide down the cliff wall that had been watered, half an hour later, two black corpses were lifted, and the ambulances who arrived immediately covered the corpses with white cloths, and when they lifted the stretcher, Wang Shichang shouted "salute" with a heart-rending voice.

The soldiers all over the mountains raised their right arms, rushed to the slow-moving stretcher, solemnly saluted, the officers and soldiers of the fire brigade and the PLA troops spontaneously lined up on both sides of the road, and the neat team flowed slowly with the movement of the stretcher, at this moment, regardless of the size of the rank, regardless of the level of the position, regardless of the type of soldier, as long as it is a soldier, you can feel the power of the shock--- called the soul of the army.
