In the first battle of "going up to the house and drawing ladders", although the eastern "front finger" severely damaged the three companies of the "shadow troops", the "sharp sword" detachment also paid the price of the sacrifice of the "red-bellied eagles", and two scouts of the "flying eagle army" were seriously injured and one was slightly injured.

The day after the "red-bellied eagle" martyrs were buried in the martyrs' cemetery, a grand celebration meeting was held in the eastern "front fingers."

Political Commissar Hu, the "former commander," personally led the team, bringing Cao Tinghui, deputy director of the Political Department, three officers, and soldiers from a guard platoon to three Jiefang-brand trucks, and a truckload full of condolences was pulled.

What made "Royal Cat" happy was that his deputy team leader "Buzzard" Chen Yongfei returned to the team. "Buzzard" heard that he had won a big victory, but he did not participate, and he was very depressed. When he was free, he went to find the "former commander" and Deputy Commander He was clamoring to return to the team. He Zhimin really couldn't stop it, so he had to agree to the limping "Buzzard" and four other wounded scouts, including the "German blackback", to return to Wanglang Mountain with the condolence group. The "Sharp Sword" detachment can also be regarded as a good thing. In consideration of the actual situation of the downsizing of the "Sharp Sword" troops, and in order to enable the "Flying Eagle Army" to gain actual combat experience in special operations more quickly and speed up the building of special forces, the commander of the "Flying Eagle Army" decided to transfer Li Wenhua, deputy commander of the reconnaissance company of the 55 th Division, nicknamed "Hai Dongqing." Wang Nan, deputy company commander of the reconnaissance company of the 56th Division, nicknamed "Peregrine Falcon", and Zheng Yuji, deputy company commander of the reconnaissance company of the 57th Division, nicknamed "Owl", were added to the "Sharp Sword" detachment.

The happiest is none other than Zhan Zhizhan. Mei Xiaoran, who he thought about day and night, wanted to come to the base with the team to express condolences and present awards. As soon as the welcome queue was disbanded, the scouts immediately surrounded the four returning members of the "Flying Eagle Army" and the three new comrades. Seeing the comrades-in-arms who were born and died together return to the team, Zhan Zhizhan was also as excited as others. But as soon as he saw Mei Xiaoran, his eyes naturally couldn't be taken off.

Although the scouts of the "Flying Tiger Army" did not know the new comrades-in-arms of the "Flying Eagle Army", they would be stirring spoons in a pot in the future and fighting side by side, and they also hugged and shook hands with the three new comrades-in-arms one after another, and introduced themselves.

The condolences and celebration ceremony was held on the playground of the Wanglang Mountain base, simple and pragmatic, presided over by Cao Tinghui. After the slogans subsided, Cao Tinghui first read out the order on "Giving the 'Sharp Sword' Detachment a Collective First-Class Merit."

The order also posthumously awarded the first-class merits of the martyrs of the "Flying Eagle Army" Huang Qun and Li Xiangdong who bravely sacrificed their lives in the "ham feast" combat mission; He was posthumously awarded the first-class meritorious service of the martyr Ling Fei of the "Sharp Sword" detachment who bravely sacrificed his life in the combat mission of "going up to the house and drawing ladders". Eight comrades who were wounded in two battles, including Comrade Qin Yiling, leader of the "Sharp Sword" detachment, and Chen Yongfei, deputy head of the second group of the "Sharp Sword" reconnaissance detachment, were awarded personal second-class merits; Comrade Zhan Zhizhan, the leader of the fourth group of the "Sharp Sword" detachment, who smashed the assassination conspiracy of the Vietnamese spies, was awarded a second-class meritorious service. Xiao Zhenfei and other comrades of the "Sword" detachment were awarded personal third-class merits.

As soon as Cao Tinghui finished announcing the military region's meritorious service order, Zhan Zhizhan was a little confused. He muttered in his stomach, "His grandmother's! Wang Yufeng, a dead girl, how could she lie about the military situation? Obediently boom, fried green onions in lard! Didn't Wang Yufeng, the dead girl, convey the decision of the stationmaster Jiang of the Nanning Station of the headquarters, and the credit for catching 'Zhu Jinhua' was offset by his own merits? ……”

Zhan Zhizhan wronged Wang Yufeng, he didn't know what was going on. After smashing the assassination conspiracy of "Zhu Jinhua," the eastern "front finger" reported to Zhan Zhizhan a first-class meritorious service, but the Southern Xinjiang Military Region did not approve it and did not give a reason. As a result, Zhan Zhizhan's first-class merit naturally ran aground. No one could understand the "front finger" in the east, only He Zhimin guessed one or two points: "It must be my cousin who caused trouble in the struggle on the hidden front!" As for what is causing trouble, it is not known. ……”

He Zhimin's guess is not far from ten, and the head of the Southern Xinjiang Military Region also has different opinions on the issue of Zhan Zhizhan's meritorious service. Because the matter of smashing the assassination conspiracy of "Zhu Jinhua" has already caused a stir, almost everyone in the entire military region knows about it. The common people in the county town where the eastern "front finger" is located have all conveyed Zhan Zhizhan's spirits, and it is indeed a bit unreasonable not to give Zhan Zhizhan credit. Stationmaster Jiang is by no means prejudiced against Zhan Zhizhan, on the contrary, he feels that Zhan Zhizhan, the "thorn head", is very suitable for his spleen and stomach, and he always likes it. Now that the head of the military region has something to say, Stationmaster Jiang also got off the donkey down the slope, and reluctantly stopped insisting on his opinion. After the political department of the Southern Xinjiang Military Region was balanced, it approved the awarding of Zhan Zhizhan a second-class meritorious service.

Perhaps Cao Tinghui deliberately arranged that Zhan Zhizhan's military merit medal was worn on his chest by Mei Xiaoran himself. People know that there are many servicemen who have received awards for meritorious service, but they have never heard of a military merit medal being awarded by their lover.

All the comrades-in-arms were salivating for this, so much so that this incident became a metaphor for the comrades-in-arms to do things after dinner. At the moment, he said: "You can do this thing, you will also make meritorious service, and you will also let your wife award you a military merit medal!" ……”

The lunch was very sumptuous, and the soldiers of the base guard and even the cooking squad took out their housekeeping skills, and the comrades-in-arms naturally could not let go of the "smiling tiger" and "old harrier", and attacked them in groups. After the two surrendered, Zhan Zhizhan and Mei Xiaoran naturally became the targets of the siege by their comrades-in-arms. The scouts were excited, and Cao Tinghui was so drunk that he couldn't get up. It wasn't until nearly two o'clock in the afternoon that the scouts dispersed. But no one thought that the crisis was approaching step by step.

After the scouts dispersed, the "Smiling Tiger" was like a kind elder brother, took out the written pass warrant, and said to Zhan Zhizhan: "I said 'camel', Xiaomei is not easy to come once, lead her to wander around the base, go to see the great rivers and mountains we have here, and return before four o'clock." The scenery of the creek near our base is very beautiful. Haha......"

"This ......" At this moment, Zhan Zhizhan and Mei Xiaoran were so ashamed that their faces were full of fever, and they didn't know what to say.

"I said, don't be embarrassed. Go and come back quickly! Don't forget to bring a weapon, you still have to pay attention to safety. I said 'camel', you have to be responsible for Xiaomei's safety! Haha......" At this time, the "smiling tiger" is alive like a naughty little brother.

Zhan Zhizhan was afraid that the "smiling tiger" would joke with him again, so after thanking him, he brought the 54-style and dagger gun for self-defense, and pulled Mei Xiaoran to run to his Beijing jeep. He thought about it, ran back to the dormitory, the Type 80 submachine pistol and bullet belt, and carried the Japanese saber that Commander Ding had awarded him, and ran back to the Beijing jeep.

Zhan Zhizhan drove the Beijing jeep fast and circled around Sleeping Cow Ridge for most of the time, so that Mei Xiaoran enjoyed the beauty of Sleeping Cow Ridge and stopped on the side of the road not far from Sleeping Cow Creek. Sleeping Cow Creek is indeed very beautiful, although it is now in the wet season, but the water flow is not urgent, and it is still clear to see the bottom. In the sunlight, the fish swimming in the stream are also clearly visible. On both sides of the stream, waist-deep weeds are overgrown, opposite the Sleeping Cow Creek is a verdant bamboo forest surrounding the beautiful Sleeping Cow Ridge, and then up is a cliff about two or three hundred meters high, some hideously looking down on the bamboo forest and the Sleeping Cow Creek.

Zhan Zhizhan and Mei Xiaoran ran to the side of the sleeping cow stream in one breath, sat on the stone, breathed in the fresh air full of fragrant grass, and seemed to have moved away from the war, and there were only two of them in the whole world. Zhan Zhizhan interrupted the tranquility a little ignorant of the times, and said to Mei Xiaoran: "Meizi, why didn't you pay attention to it before, there are so many fish in this creek!" ……”

Mei Xiaoran stretched out her hand to pry the stream water, felt cool, and smiled gently: "Yes!" Not only small fish, but also small shrimp. Hehe...... I just don't know if there are any small crabs. I really want to jump into the water, catch fish and shrimp, and take out crabs. ……”

Zhan Zhizhan scratched his head and said with a smile: "I have a snot and a snot on my black and thin little face, and my soul has been painted all day long, and my hair is always unkempt, like a nest of house birds." My hometown is very poor, I don't have any change of clothes, in order not to get wet, we stripped naked and jumped into the river crazy! ……”

Mei Xiaoran listened leisurely: "Oh...... It's just beautiful! That's how I want to get back to nature! Returning to nature is the harmony between man and nature, and returning to the magnificent mountains and rivers of nature. Return to the wind and snow of nature, and return to the cycle of the four seasons of nature. Hearing you say that, I want to strip myself naked and jump into this creek to play to my heart's content! Hi ...... 'Camel', will you accompany me? ……”

Zhan Zhizhan was startled, and hurriedly smirked: "Hehe...... I can't ask for it. But...... The water is too cold at the moment, if my plums are frozen and cold, wouldn't it be a violent thing. Wait for a warm day, I will accompany Meizi to Xiaoqinghe in my hometown, Meizi is willing to play with me! ……”

Mei Xiaoran also felt a little inappropriate about her extremely romantic words, she couldn't help but blush, bowed her head and said nothing. In order to break the embarrassment, Zhan Zhizhan hurriedly changed the topic: "Meizi, I sent your photo to my father and mother, and they replied to ......"

"Really? Why are you in such a hurry! How do you know that someone agrees to be your girlfriend? Your mom and dad won't complain about how you found an ugly duckling, right? ......" Mei said slyly with her big eyes full of laughter.

"Where is it, my father and my mother are boasting about my blessings! If you don't believe me, I'll show you their letter when I get back to the base later. ......" Zhan Zhizhan seemed to be a little anxious to argue.

There is a saying that "the golden wind is not moved, the cicada is aware of it, and the secret plan is impermanent, and the death is unknown." When Zhan Zhizhan and Mei Xiaoran were entangled, they never dreamed that in the picturesque mountains of southern Xinjiang, there were actually murderous opportunities hidden, and danger was pressing towards them step by step.

When Zhan Zhizhan drove the Beijing jeep out of the base gate, he was already firmly encased by the telescope in the hands of Major Ruan Jinyong, the new deputy commander of the "shadow force" and commander of the first company. It wasn't until Zhan Zhizhan's Beijing jeep turned into a dead end that Ruan Jinyong put down the telescope in his hand. Nguyen Jinyong took "shit luck". He received an order yesterday to appoint him deputy commander of the "shadow unit" and commander of a company, with the rank of lieutenant to major. He also ordered him to lead a company that had just completed the whole training to sneak into China and hit Wanglang Mountain three times. Nguyen Tan Dung was full of spirit and was very confident in completing the "dragon head saw horn" battle plan.

When the "front finger" condolences and celebration ceremony was held on the playground of the Wanglang Mountain listening station base, the noise from the loudspeaker at the Wanglang Mountain base could be faintly heard on the top of the mountain in Sleeping Niuling. Ruan Tan Dung stood on the "Smiling Tiger" and his three colleagues, Pei Yi Tao and Ruan Wei Wu, who had all stood on it, observing the huge stone that had become pitted on Wanglang Mountain, holding a telescope in his hand, staring intently at the very lively scene on the playground. Nguyen Tan Dung secretly scolded in his heart that the planner did not have a long brain, why did he have to launch an attack at 24 o'clock in the middle of the night? It is also forbidden to attack the "former fingers" who have come to attend the condolences and celebration ceremonies. If he is given another company at this time, he will lead two companies of "shadow troops" to kill him, and he will definitely be able to wash Wanglang Mountain in blood.
