"Stand upright! …… Salute! ......" shouted Su Ergang, the commander of the guard company at the base of the listening station!

The "monkey" holding the urn of the martyr Zhang Xianghua of the "royal cat" and the urn of the martyr "snake carving" holding the martyr "eagle" Federgao stood in front of the large compartment of the "Liberation brand" truck, and slowly entered the middle of the soldiers of the guard company who were "saluting with guns" on both sides of the road.

"Raise your gun! ......" With the roar of the company commander of Surgon, the fighters raised the "Type 56" to their chests, and the barrel of the gun was pointed at the sky at a 42-degree angle.

"Put! ......" Commander Surgang gave another order. The fighters pulled the trigger, and more than a hundred "Type 56" fired a shot almost simultaneously.

"Put! ......" Commander Surgang gave another order. "Phew!" Another gunshot rang out.

The "Jiefang" truck slowly drove into the gate of the base in the solemn ceremony of welcoming the martyrs and heroes of the base guard company.

Scouts from other detachments of the "Sword Force" and comrades-in-arms who were not on duty at the listening post lined up on the playground of the base to greet them. As soon as the "Jiefang" truck came to a stop, the scouts of the second detachment immediately rushed up, and Chen Yongfei, the "buzzard," wept and took the urn of the martyr of the "Royal Cat" from the hands of the "monkey," and walked to the prepared table in the corner of the playground with him in his arms. The table was covered with brand-new snow-white sheets, full of fruits, sweets, canned food, cigarettes and alcohol sent by the condolence group, and I don't know which comrade-in-arms' "Taoism" was so big, and I don't know where to find incense and candles.

The "Snake Eagle" held the urn of the "Eagle Eagle" martyr and gently placed it next to the urn of the "Royal Cat" martyr. After saluting the incense, the "buzzard" took a few steps back, knelt down with a "poof", beat his chest and cried bitterly. While crying, he shouted, "Brother...... Brother! You are so ruthless, why did you ruthlessly leave us and leave by yourself! Elder brother...... Brother! ……”

The "buzzard" wept and kowtowed "knock, knock, knock". The scouts who were surrounding the "Buzzard" "made a fuss", knelt behind the "Buzzard", and kowtowed to the "Buzzard" while crying bitterly.

Looking at his comrades-in-arms to pay tribute to the "Royal Cat", Zhan Zhizhan stood there, bright tears rolling in his eyes. Then, large, round, glittering tears rolled down his cheeks, dripping on the corners of his mouth, on his chest, and on the ground.

According to discipline, it is not permissible for scouts to pay tribute to the martyrs in this way. The "Siberian Tiger" can only shed tears at this time, and it is rare that he can not take the lead in kowtowing to the martyrs. If a "political" person comes out to interfere at this time, I am afraid that the "Siberian Tigers" will be the first to scold this person to the point of blood.

"Black Fox" Zhang Han, "Golden Eye Eagle" Sun Shengli, "Grassland Lone Wolf" Ba Hai, "Polar Bear" Li Pinyao and "Mohu Luojia" Wang Yufeng, the leader of the female soldier squad at the listening station, did not know when they flocked to Zhan Zhizhan and the "monkey". The comrades-in-arms hugged Zhan Zhizhan one by one with tears in their eyes, and even Wang Yufeng hugged Zhan Zhizhan's neck without any scruples and cried bitterly. Zhan Zhizhan only found out at this time that Huang Xiaowei and Wu Fang, female soldiers from the female soldier squad at the listening station, were hiding in the corner, looking at him and crying. The sorrow of his comrades-in-arms made Zhan Zhizhan feel a little strange, but he thought that maybe it was because he and the "monkey" escaped back after nine deaths.

The next day, all the scouts boarded two "Jiefang" trucks and went to the martyrs' cemetery near the "Qianzhi" to attend a memorial meeting. After nearly three hours of travel, no one spoke, and the atmosphere was quite depressing. The "Jiefang" truck drove into the compound of the "front finger," where the new commanders, Zhu Yutao, Zhu Commander, Political Commissar Hu, He Zhimin, and other "front finger" leaders were already waiting.

"Get off! …… Lined up! ......" "Siberian Tiger" jumped out of the cab and gave a loud order.

"Comrades, please take a moment! Comrades for your hard work! ......" Commander Zhu said, accompanied by He Zhimin, walked in front of the "Siberian Tiger", shook hands with him cordially, and then shook hands with the other scouts one by one, and He Zhimin introduced each scout to Commander Zhu. The other leaders also stepped forward to shake hands with the scouts.

When He Zhimin introduced Zhan Zhizhan to Commander Zhu, Commander Zhu held Zhan Zhizhan's hand for a long time and did not let go: "Xiao Zhan, good guy!" You've worked hard, don't be sad! War always has to die, revolutionary soldiers shed blood without tears, you have to turn grief into strength, inherit the legacy of the martyrs, and hit the Vietnamese monkeys harder! ……”

"Thank you, chief, I'm ......" Zhan Zhizhan was excited, and tears almost came out again.

As soon as the ceremony of the chiefs meeting the scouts was over, He Zhimin beckoned to Zhan Zhizhan. The eyes of the comrades-in-arms immediately "brushed" and stared at Zhan Zhizhan in unison, how could there be no surprise in those eyes, it seemed to be a kind of grief.

He Zhimin took Zhan Zhizhan to the office of the former chief of staff Qian Zhenglun on the second floor of the "front finger", knocked on the door and got out of the way. And the person who opened the door surprised Zhan Zhizhan, it turned out to be Mei Xiaoran's brother Mei Xiaohan.

"Xiaohan? Why are you? Yes? Uncle May, uncle, aunt, sister-in-law...... Why are you here? ……” Almost at the same time as shaking hands with Mei Xiaohan, Zhan Zhizhan saw Mei Xiaoran's uncle at a glance, who was also the former "front finger" chief of staff, and the current commander of the 18th Army, Qian Zhenglun, supporting Mei Xiaoran's father, Mei Xiaohan's lover was walking towards him with Aunt Shui.

"What's going on? ......" Zhan Zhizhan was a little confused, but a hint of ominousness immediately appeared in his mind.

"What about the smile? Where is she? Is something wrong with her? Say! Xiaohan, tell me quickly! ......" Zhan Zhizhan had already had a premonition that something big had happened to Mei Xiaoran, and his voice was getting louder and louder. Zhan Zhizhan suddenly remembered the eyes of his comrades-in-arms looking at him, especially the order of Zhan Zhizhan to order him and his returning comrades-in-arms to recuperate at the naval base for a week after Zhan Zhizhan returned to China.

"Xiao Zhan, you are a soldier, you should be calm! ......" Mei Xiaohan said this with tears in her eyes.

"Me? Xiao Han, what the hell is wrong with Xiao Ran? ......" Zhan Zhizhan wanted to lose his temper, but when he saw that Mei Xiaoran's mother was already in pain, she cried bitterly and held back.

"Xiao Zhan, Xiaoran went to the army with the car to deliver condolences on the day you set off on this mission, and encountered an attack by the Vietnamese monkey team on the way, Xiaoran ......" Mei Xiaohan said and couldn't cry.

Mei Xiaoran died on the day Zhan Zhizhan boarded the submarine and set off, God is really unfair. Zhan Zhizhan couldn't bear this heavy blow anymore, and with a "boom" in his head, he only felt that the sky was spinning, his eyes were dark, and he was planted on the ground with a "bang". I don't know how long it took, there was a tingling pain in the person, and Zhan Zhizhan woke up again. It was Mei Xiaohan who was pinching him, and Mei Xiaoran's mother was sitting on the floor, holding one of Zhan Zhizhan's hands and crying wordlessly. Mei Xiaohan's lover and his father, as well as Qian Zhenglun and He Zhimin, surrounded him, their eyes full of concern and pity.

Zhan Zhizhan sat up silently, he had no tears, no words, his tears seemed to have dried up. Mei Xiaohan helped Zhan Zhizhan to stand up, maybe Zhan Zhizhan's face and gaze were too scary, everyone didn't make a sound, just looked at him with concern, and even Mei Xiaoran's mother and sister-in-law stopped crying. Suddenly, Zhan Zhizhan felt that the gas in his chest was rapidly expanding outward at this time, and his heart was uncontrollable with grief, and he suddenly raised his head to the sky and shouted, his voice was like a fierce beast's roar. Zhan Zhizhan's long howl is definitely better than a wolf's howl, better than a tiger's roar. The shock made Mei Xiaoran's relatives indoors ringing and heartbeat, and the birds outside were frightened.

"Child, if you want to cry, cry, child, ......" Mei Xiaoran's mother took Zhan Zhizhan's hand and cried.

Zhan Zhizhan didn't answer, just bit his lower lip fiercely until blood flowed out. He suddenly asked He Zhimin murderously: "Brother, which of the Vietnamese monkeys beat the calf and beat the child in the army?" ……”

"It is the fourth company and three platoons of the Vietnamese monkey 'shadow troops', stationed in the Quang Ninh River juniper. It's a good thing to laugh! This ambush by the Vietnamese monkeys was very strange, not only did they grasp the time and place very accurately, but they also shot the soldiers of the guard squad mercilessly, and the goal was very clear, that is, to capture the prisoner alive. Later, the 'former finger' enemy Ministry of Engineering figured out that these were all ghosts made by Cao Tinghui, a traitor. After kidnapping Xiaoran, coerce you into fighting with the 'Sword Force'. ......" He Zhimin looked at his cousin who was staring out the window with his eyes hooked, and hesitated for a moment and said.

"The Vietnamese monkey is another 'bottom of the kettle'! And then? ......" Zhan Zhizhan muttered and asked.

He Zhimin continued: "After Xiaoran's death, I ordered the border to be sealed and organized a dragnet search by troops and militia. Hey...... When the Vietnamese monkeys fled in a hurry, they collided head-on with the 1st Battalion and 2nd Company of the 7th Frontier Regiment and were all killed. ……”

Zhan Zhizhan only had the word "revenge" in his mind at this time: "Grandma's, since ancient times, 'the hatred of killing your father, the hatred of taking your wife, you don't share the sky!" 'How can the revenge of killing a wife be 'worn to the sky'? Revenge! If you don't take revenge, you won't be a man! Lao Tzu wants to kill all the Vietnamese monkeys in Nagqu Village to avenge the 'Royal Cat'! Avenge 'Hai Dongqing', 'Black Kite', 'Weasel', and 'Big Bad Wolf'! Lao Tzu wants to kill the four companies and three platoons of the Vietnamese monkey 'shadow army' raised by the son of a bitch to avenge Mei Xiaoran! ……”

Later, Wang Yufeng, "Mohu Luojia", told Zhan Zhizhan: "When Deputy Commander He learned that the Vietnamese monkeys who killed Mei Xiaoran were surrounded, he urgently transferred the special company and machine gun company of the Fourth Reconnaissance Brigade to participate in the battle of encirclement and annihilation. Regardless of the dissuasion of the 'former commander' Commander Ding, he went to the front line to command. Although the scale of this battle was not large, it was fought brutally. This group of Vietnamese monkeys later could not resist and raised a white flag to surrender. However, Deputy Commander He gritted his teeth and refused to accept the surrender, and all of them were killed! ……”

Suddenly, the door opened. Commander Zhu and Political Commissar Hu, as well as Qiao Jianhua, the new chief of staff of the "former finger," respectfully accompanied a pair of veteran soldiers supported by young men and women.

It seems that this old soldier's rank is not low. Zhan Zhizhan was wondering, Commander Qian Zhenglun hurriedly stepped forward, saluted, took the old soldier's hand and said, "Vice Minister Zhou, you don't have a good rest, why did you come over?" ……”

Vice Minister Zhou said kindly: "Oh...... I was in a daze on the sofa in Commander Zhu's office and was about to fall asleep when I was suddenly woken up by a 'lion's roar'. I'm wondering who has so much confidence? A single throat can actually wake me up, more powerful than a cannonball explosion! After this inquiry, I learned that it was Fuqi's detachment leader. No wonder! No wonder! Presumably this is the captain of the Zhan Zhi Cham battle sub-team who made the Vietnamese monkeys frightened and slashed the 'three surnamed house slaves' Park Yong-sik, right? ……”

"Fuqi's squad leader? Obediently boom, fried green onions in lard! Who is Fu Qi? ......" Zhan Zhizhan hurriedly saluted and said, "Report to the chief, I am Zhan Zhizhan, the captain of the fourth detachment of the 'Sword Force'!" ……”

Vice Minister Zhou's eyes flickered, and he stretched out his hand to Zhan Zhizhan and said, "Stinky boy, Zhou Fuqi is my youngest son. Every time he writes to him, he mentions you, and you are his idol, and my ears are full. Oh...... My youngest son, Zhou Fuqi, is Qi Fuzhou of your fourth detachment. ……”
