A round of red sun gradually set down the mountain, twilight like a rendered gouache painting, painted a layer of blue-gray to the stretching Dajian Mountain, Qiu Di ran up the mountainside, looking at the nine-curved mountain road, this is a habit that has been cultivated since childhood, every time in the mountains this home, every time at dusk, always waiting here in the mountain pass, waiting for a lonely figure.

The figure that is getting more and more rickety is called: Father.

He came back, carrying a bundle of firewood on his back, the difference was that he carried something more in his hand today, walked very slowly, Qiu Di ran towards him quickly, more than ten years of memory, this picture is so familiar, the more separated he is, the clearer the memory, even if he is in the city thousands of miles away.

"Dad, I'll do it. Qiu Di followed the firewood, enough to put a hundred and ten catties away, he put it on his shoulder, the father smiled, looked at the strong son, his eyes were always so proud, Qiu Di saw his father's kettle on his body, bulging, and asked casually: "What is that?"

"Little sour jujubes, it's out of season, it's not easy to pick...... There is also yellow moss to make children appetize. Dad said with a smile.

"They have eaten a few hares at noon. Qiu Di laughed.

"How many days will you stay? are all city babies, can you get used to our mountain life?" said Dad and Haze.

There are few traces of people in the mountains, but all the living people are distinguished guests, Qiu Di said: "It's okay, the freshness hasn't passed yet." ”

"Huh...... As soon as the freshness passes, I'm afraid I can't wait to leave. Dad said.

Qiu Di's footsteps hesitated and slowed down, following his father's steady steps, his father, who never said much, almost grew old slowly in his eyes, and he was no longer as vigorous as when he was a child, and he was no longer as old as he remembered, always in a hurry. The old one is like the mountain here, and it may not be nostalgic in the eyes, but in the heart, it is always haunted by dreams.

"Baby, what are you doing?" asked Dad.

"No. Qiu Di said, keeping up with his father's steps, and changed the topic with a smile: "Dad, I met a master of military physical boxing outside, and at my level, I was beaten to the point that I had no power to fight back." ”

"You always want to be opportunistic, and you are never the right way. Dad shook his head, his words were exactly the same as Qi Lianbao's.

"That person is 1.92 meters tall, weighs more than 200 pounds, is half a head taller than me, weighs dozens of pounds, he is just like you said, pinching his fingers and bringing the wind with his punches. Qiu Di said.

"No, right? When you encounter something like this, can you stand well?" the father turned around and looked at his son suspiciously.

"He showed mercy. Qiu Di said.

"Oh, that's it, don't show off your three-legged cat level, it's light to break a few of your bones when you run into an expert. Dad said slowly, for this way, there is a different concept from other parents, Qiu Di took a step and said: "Yes, in the face of absolute strength and absolute superiority, skills are useless, and moves are useless." ”

"That's the difference, it's not about the moves, it's about the environment. The father said, he knew that his son was listening, so he listened to him say slowly: "When we first learned, what we learned was to defeat the enemy with one move, the move is dead, the person is alive, the environment is changing, the opponent is uncertain, it may be someone weaker than you, it may be a person stronger than you, it may be an open environment, it may also be a dilemma that is not conducive to playing...... With your deadly moves, of course, you can't cope with the constant variables. ”

"What then?" Qiu Di was curious.

"Forget you learned the moves...... Don't trust the power of your fists and kicks too much, use a qiē that can be used, such as when stumbling, you can elbow your face according to the situation, or directly lunge and slash...... For example, when you kick your leg and lock your throat, how can you hold a short dagger in your right hand, and it may turn into a straight cut through your opponent's carotid artery...... For another example, when the two sides hold each other, at close range, your forehead and knees can become the most direct weapons, hitting the bridge of the opponent's nose or the lower yin, you can achieve the effect of defeating the enemy with one move. Even if the other party is stronger than you. Dad said.

Hearing this, Qiu Di couldn't cry or laugh, and he asked, "Then you can't be disabled?"

"So tell sù don't fight with people. There is no absolute strength or absolute superiority in fighting, a person with a machete may injure you, and an ordinary person with a gun may kill you...... Do you think that after a few years of practice, you will be invincible in the world?" the father smiled and touched his son's head.

Qiu Di smiled, didn't ask any further, and felt a little ashamed in his heart, there was no shortage of fights, and the bargain was almost the same as the loss. He has always been quite confident in himself, until he met Qi Lianbao, and he didn't get out of bed for two weeks, which was quite profound.

At the very least, it would be wrong to deal with someone who is significantly higher than you, bare-handed.

a guy. He thought so.

After turning two corners, he saw the smoke of the house, and at this time, the father always stopped, looked at it with satisfaction, and then roared, and the family dog came to him.

If this is the case, a shout mountain, the mountains responded, and saw a few black shadows barking and came, the father walked with a smile, Qiu Di followed a little preoccupied, maybe it was a glimpse of his son's heart, the father said while walking: "Seeing that you are not living well when you come back this time, the son is useless, the daughter is not staying, the family affairs, don't worry, your mother and I are still hard, you can live well, it is the greatest hope of your parents." ”

"Dad......" Qiu Di shouted embarrassedly.

"Hehe, don't call it so close, the closer you call, the farther you go...... Your grandmother said that. Dad said with a smile, shouting at a few dogs.

Qiu Di followed his father, but he muttered something in his heart: "Dad, this exam ...... I don't know the bottom in my heart, if I get in, I can stay in the county, I will die, tsk, I'm afraid of ......"

"That's your business, raising you up as a human being is your parents' business, but whoever you want to live is your own business. You can be in charge of this. The father put his hands behind his back and unceremoniously left the problem to his son.

Qiu Di was stunned for a moment before he went home one step later. It's not a good thing to have a father who has been a soldier, training your son will always be like training a recruit's egg, don't expect him to hold you, he will only watch you beat.

As soon as I got home, I put down the firewood, I didn't wipe my face dry, the laughter in the house started again, Qiu Di entered the door and saw it, and the mood was ruined again, Bao Xiaosan and Geng Baolei were looking at the photos at home, Guan Qianjiao covered her mouth and laughed secretly, the old couple was happy, Xiao San asked: Uncle Qiu, this one who wears open crotch pants and shows his ****** is Brother Qiu.

Deliberately, Qiu Qianjun laughed, so embarrassed that Qiu Di was embarrassed, snatched the photo album, and kicked the troubled Bao Xiaosan.

Dinner is probably the happiest time of the day, a coarse bowl of cleanly washed, red and purple sour dates, eat Qianjiao Lian bar, the yellow moss in the mountains is particularly sweet, Geng Baolei asked curiously, only to be very uncertain about this kind of mushroom, very similar to the taste of chicken fir. When I asked him what chicken fir was, he couldn't tell him, only that it was a delicacy and that it was quite expensive.

When Bao Xiaosan heard this, he naturally pretended to be forced to brag, quarreling and quarreling, this meal of corn nest head and millet soup, in a blink of an eye, he ate a lot of seven, eight or eight, and the people who were quite bad at eating made the second elder extremely happy, and he couldn't stop laughing.

After eating, Guan Qianjiao rushed to wash the dishes, grabbed it, but pulled Geng Baolei to work, she commanded next to her, so angry that Geng Baolei rolled his eyes, Bao Xiaosan has a goal today, and went straight to Qiu Qianjun, who was sitting on the threshold smoking dry cigarettes, handed over a cigarette, and asked curiously: "Uncle, are you ...... Fought the Vietnam War?"

"Ah, what's wrong?" Qiu Qianjun said, holding the cigarette behind his ear.

"I always thought the flute was bragging. "Bao Xiaosan, it's hard, Qiu Di and his father, it's much more credible than Qiu Di, he and the old Qiu got together, looked up and down, Qiu Qianjun wondered, and finally heard Bao Xiaosan's curious and envious question: "Uncle, have you ever killed someone?"

Qiu Qianjun probably didn't expect this question, so he laughed and didn't answer.

"What's wrong, uncle?" Bao Xiaosan was puzzled.

"No, do you think I look like I've killed someone?" Qiu Qianjun looked at him and asked rhetorically.

This...... Bao Xiaosan looked at it again, dressed in work clothes, white from pulp washing, a pair of old rubber shoes, worn to the point that the gang was almost rotten, Qiu Qianjun, whose face was as black as old bark, was like a peasant who had worked for a long time, he shook his head suspiciously and said, "No." ”

"How do you see that?" Qiu Qianjun seemed curious.

"You... You're so kind, it's certainly not like that. "Bao Xiaosandao.

Qiu Qianjun laughed again, and said in a mist voice: "Do you want to hear war stories? I have killed many people." ”

"I want to!" Bao Xiaosan nodded, there is not even electricity in this place, and there is nothing to do if you don't want to listen. He waved his hand and shouted to a few people: "Come here, come here, listen to Uncle Qiu tell the story of the war...... Uncle Qiu, the Vietnamese devil you did back then was very cool, right?

"Of course, it almost hit Hanoi. Qiu Di carried the kettle and poured water for everyone.

"By the way, I have seen the garland under the high mountain, it is very tragic, and the hill is flattened a few meters after the beating. Geng Baolei said.

Qiu Qianjun took the cigarette pouch, looked at a few juniors sternly, his lips twitched a few times, and he smiled speechlessly without saying a word.

Guan Qianjiao, the only one who didn't speak, also sat beside everyone curiously, looking at this old man who looked like an old farmer, and he really couldn't connect with the war.

"Uncle Qiu, what's wrong with you?" Bao Xiaosan couldn't wait.

"Come, drink water, clear your throat. I heard that the female soldiers of the Vietnam War are very awesome, have you ever seen them?" Geng Baolei asked curiously, handing over the water.

Bao Xiaosan rushed to say when he heard this: "I've seen it in the picture, carrying a rocket launcher naked, which is more exciting than watching Lao Mei's blockbuster." ”

Qiu Qianjun looked at it with a smile and a smile, it took a long time to save it, he took a sip of saliva, looked at his son, and also looked at his son, he also looked at it with a blazing staring, and he didn't want to say a word, which aroused everyone's curiosity, he seemed to be unwilling to talk about the past, and sighed and said: "It's not as good as you think, so excited...... At that time, the Cultural Revolution had just ended, and the troops were also affected by the Cultural Revolution, the production quality of the arsenal was not good, the weapons were very poor, and they were going to die on the battlefield, the grenades did not explode when they were thrown over, the submachine guns jammed after two shots, and even the shells exploded in the chamber of the cannon. ”

A few people listened depressedly, and the beginning was unpleasant.

What's even more unpleasant, Qiu Qianjun looked at the sky with a look of reminiscence, and said: "If you want to talk about individual soldiers, the Vietnamese devils were really no worse than us at that time, they used the equipment of the captured American army, as well as the arms supported by the Soviet Union and even us, AK submachine guns, and we also used Type 56 semi-automatic rifles, and when we went to the battlefield, some companies were not even equipped with steel helmets...... However, we knew this at that time, and we were very excited, and before we went to the front line, our squad leader and mule said that after making meritorious contributions, we would be promoted immediately, and we would not have to go back to the countryside for demobilization, and we could stay in the city and earn wages...... Hehe, at that time, in fact, my motives were not pure, I thought, if I became a national cadre, how long my face would be......"

Bao Xiaosan smiled, Qiu Qianjun caressed the child's head, and said with a smile: "You know, our squad leader was not as old as you at that time, he was only 24, he was from Mule River, and we all called him old mule." ”

"Wow, my fellow?" Bao Xiaosan was excited.

"Yes, fellow...... He's also a bastard, he didn't tell us recruits, and we still have to die in battle. Qiu Qianjun said speechlessly, in that memory, there seemed to be an astringent taste that he couldn't speak.

Everyone waited for a long time before he said leisurely:

“...... Advancing to the No. 9 boundary pillar, we found that the war was completely different from what we imagined, the three ace divisions of the Vietnamese army had not yet fought with us, the local armed forces and militia harassed us everywhere, there were dead Vietnamese armed men everywhere along the way, all kinds of postures, the villages and houses on the side of the highway were riddled with bullets, and some were even razed to the ground, the ploughing cattle in the cattle pens were dead all over the place, and there were military supplies everywhere along the way.

The smoke of gunpowder, the corpses, and the cold guns that came at an unknown time, this was the first impression I had of the war......... On the way we marched, we were constantly harassed by the Vietnamese army, sometimes throwing grenades at our convoy, sometimes shooting cold guns at us, the first night camping, I was so scared that I didn't fall asleep at all, only gnawed half a compressed biscuit for a day and a night, and the comrades who went to fetch water were killed by the Vietnamese army on the way, the two sides exchanged fire in the middle of the night, and several times they were just squinted and woke up, and the next day when we pulled out, we saw two corpses on the road after walking a short distance, which were crushed into meat cakes by passing tanks, and the bloody and unpleasant stench, I vomited everything I could in my stomach......”

This is war, Qiu Qianjun took a puff of cigarette and said it in a desolate tone, which made the heart of the listener sink with it.

Guan Qianjiao's throat moved, listening to such a terrible story this night, she was a little uncomfortable, not she, several people were a little uncomfortable, it seemed that Qiu Di was also listening to this story for the first time, obviously frowning, I don't know why my father said this.

"...... I was very scared, I wanted to go home, I was thinking, even if I went home to be a farmer, it was better than soaking in the mud of the battlefield, maybe somewhere a cold gun, the small life will be confessed, the Vietnamese artillery fire was very fierce at that time, on our border, many places disappeared piece by piece, and even a little camp was shelled, even after the corpse could not be found, I was almost terrified to the extreme, let alone holding a gun, my teeth were fighting when I spoke, the squad leader and the mule looked at me like this, and did not persuade me, in front of the whole class, he slapped me a few times, kicked me into the mud and scolded me, and said that the coward is more pitiful than the Vietnamese devil...... Hehe, in fact, I know, I am afraid, the oldest of our squad is the squad leader, the youngest is only 19 years old, and he has been a soldier for less than a year......"

Qiu Qianjun said, it seemed to be very regretful, everyone listened to it, it seemed to be surprised, this is not in line with the imaginary story of heroes or cowards, purely the story of an ordinary person in war, and there can only be one feeling: fear!

"It's scary enough, the real war, and it's not a feeling on the screen. Guan Qianjiao said.

"Yes, fear, fear makes us forget our hunger, we forget our exhaustion, we forget ourselves, we forget our fears...... At that time, every day, there were logistics and teams and a large number of military workers, who were carrying a cart full of casualties to return home, and even before they stepped into the country, they could become casualties...... It was March, and we were connected to the task of attacking from the front to eliminate the artillery positions of the Vietnamese army, and the company commander pulled up the first platoon, the second platoon, and the third platoon, leaving the whole company as a soldier for less than a year, and let the squad leader and the old mule lead the team to form a self-defense group...... I was already frightened at that time, and the old mule left me behind to let us build a position, and although he was a bit of a bastard, he was not bad-hearted. ”

Qiu Qianjun said, his chest rose and fell, Bao Xiaosan felt that the climax was coming, and he asked excitedly: "Then, take the artillery position of the Vietnamese devils." ”

"Hehe, no, they traveled to a place nineteen kilometers away from the position, and just as they were about to intersperse, they were ambushed, and the Vietnamese army knocked out a car in the front and rear, blocking them in the middle, condescendingly, almost slaughtering...... When the follow-up rescue force arrived, the car had been blown into burning scrap metal, dozens of comrades-in-arms were stumps and broken arms, only nine seriously wounded people survived, the company commander and the instructor were both killed, and we didn't even find the instructor's head...... That's really called broken bones, the bodies are picked up piece by piece, and they can't be put together at all. ”

Qiu Qianjun said, his expression was blank, his voice was pale, he couldn't help coughing violently when he said that he was broken, and it took a while to breathe, like re-experiencing the human tragedy after the gunpowder smoke dissipated, the tragic scene, no matter how you describe it, is pale and powerless.

Qiu Di looked at his companions, they were all looking at each other, in fact, he was like he knew his father for the first time, and he couldn't figure out why he said this, this didn't seem to be a hero's story, but like a coward's confession.

"Dad, are you tired...... Otherwise, let's rest, Ming'er has to get up early. Qiu Di weakly comforted.

"Do you think your father is embarrassed for saying this?" Qiu Qianjun peeked into his son's mind and asked directly.

"No, Dad, it's been so many years, and you're still thinking about it. Qiu Di said.

"Once you do, you'll hate yourself for the rest of your life. In fact, it is really humiliating, there are only 20 of us left in the whole company unharmed, we stand in front of the remains of those comrades-in-arms, we will no longer cry, the battalion commander is so hateful that his eyes are red, and he wants to retaliate...... The battalion commander said, even if he gnawed his mouth with his teeth, he had to take down this artillery position, the heavily guarded long-range heavy artillery position, so that the casualties of our follow-up troops were very large, and most of the casualties were caused by shelling...... For several days in a row, the whole battalion was desperately launching a sneak attack on that position, and that position, which was built by the Vietnamese army during the resistance against the United States, was stronger than we imagined, and was surrounded by four trenches, three kilometers of minefields, and more than a dozen firepower points ambushed on the road......

Speaking of this, Qiu Qianjun stopped, as if he was depressed and disappeared, his eyes were bright, like entering a state of excitement on the verge of battle.

Bao Xiaosan was stunned and asked, "That...... You're not going, are you?"

"You guessed it, we went. ”

Qiu Qianjun said, his voice softened, and the turbid breath slowly exhaled out, and he said with determination on his face: "The whole company is disabled, they have become heroes, we have become bears behind our backs, no one can swallow this breath, the old mule represents us, and we want to form a sharp knife platoon to end this position...... This Tiyì was scolded back by the battalion commander, who said that we are a bunch of waste, and we are not even qualified to be cannon fodder...... At that time, we did a very outrageous thing, the old mule privately encouraged everyone, anyway, it was like this, it was a big deal to go with the company commander and the instructor, he instigated, we wrote blood letters one by one, stole a military vehicle overnight, pulled up all the equipment that could be used in the company, and the two signal soldiers found us, and were tied up by the old mule and thrown on the sentry card, and we gritted our teeth and left......"

This is a ridiculous thing, so absurd that it has almost no credibility, and a few people don't believe it, Qiu Qianjun seems to be talking to himself:

“...... That day was like heaven perfecting us, it was raining heavily, lightning and thunder, I had never seen such a heavy rain, rocks kept rolling down the mountain, mines were blown up, even the devils didn't do fire testing, they all nested in the cat's hole, the visibility in that weather was less than ten meters, not to mention interspersed, it was difficult to march normally...... Taking advantage of the heavy rain, we waded through a minefield, three kilometers, one by one...... Just stepped on the past, and after walking a few meters, there was an explosion, and one died, and then another, and then pushed forward for more than ten meters, and it exploded again, and the dead one lay there, dragging the remaining half of his body and crawling forward...... Three kilometers, we died eight brothers, all of whom came out with a hundred pounds......"

The speaker was hoarse, and the listener was stunned, Qiu Qianjun calmed down for a long time before he continued:

“......... The nearest firing point found us, and the machine guns began to blockade us, and at that time we were in a hurry, and if we delayed a little, if we let the devils organize an interception, we would have to be reimbursed here...... The old mule was in a hurry, carrying the explosives bag to go up, but was robbed by Xiao Dongbei in the class, he said, you are the squad leader, you are glorious, we all have to die...... We concentrated a few grenades and fired in opposite directions, and as soon as the Vietnamese army's firepower was attracted, Xiao Dongbei took advantage of the heavy rain to touch the slope ......"

"Did it blow up?" Qiu Di asked nervously.

"When it exploded, he climbed higher than the point of fire, and then jumped down and blew himself up. Qiu Qianjun said, he said, as if it was sadness, a kind of remembrance with comfort.

Guan Qianjiao was attracted, the charm of a man Cangsang may lie in this, every wrinkle is the scale of a wonderful story, she moved closer, and asked curiously: "Uncle Qiu, what about you...... Did you rush through?"

"Our gang of recruits are not good at military affairs, and they have no chance to rush over at all, so they dodged it. ”

Qiu Qianjun said slowly: "As soon as the firepower exploded, the Vietnamese army realized that it was a sneak attack, and it didn't take long for patrols and agents to block it, at that time, there were twenty-four of us, even more than half of the dead and wounded, and the old mule with nine who could still run, hid in the muddy water under the hillside, dug a pit, buried most of his body in it, and lay down in the muddy water, so disguised...... The remaining four lightly and seriously wounded pretended to intersperse and exchanged fire with the Vietnamese soldiers who received them...... As you can imagine, they were easily killed by Vietnamese agents, with a dozen muzzles beating them into a pile of pulp......... From the Lei Chi to the corpses lying down at the firing point, it became our best camouflage, and I even heard the footsteps and shouts right next to me, at that time, the morale of the Vietnamese army was also very high, and they did not pay attention to our troops crossing the border at all, and we suffered losses in several battles...... They didn't find out this time that there was still a team lying next to those dead comrades, like a miracle, in such a clumsy way, they had deceived the Vietnamese devils who were better than monkeys. ”

Commander Qiu Qianjun sighed and muttered: "The old mule, this bastard, has always been paving the way with human lives, and we are also a little confused, knowing that if we take a step forward, someone will die, but no one is silent, when it is time to go, I gritted my teeth and crossed my heart, and I went up like that, without even saying a last word...... In the other classes, I can't even remember what their names were, some of them didn't even say anything, and they were gone in the blink of an eye, and they all said that human affection was as thin as paper, but in fact, human life was even thinner, no matter how great a war was, it couldn't change the fact that soldiers' lives were like mustard, and they all said about human nature in war...... In fact, there is no human nature, death will make people numb. ”

"What happened later?" Geng Baolei asked reverently, the story obsessed him.

"We have no road except to walk forward with our heads covered, the road ahead is the cushion given to me by the brothers who died, we can only go forward, the Vietnamese army thought that this small interspersed force had disappeared, and after they withdrew, we continued to move forward...... In some places, we don't walk, almost climb, a few people high hills, we stack people up and pull ropes, dozens of meters of slopes, we just hold our heads and slide down...... On the way, two more people were reduced, and they slid down the slope to die, and after a few hours of walking, we finally got close to the position where we could shoot...... It was four o'clock in the morning, and not even a scout had ever been so close. We also paid a heavy price, of the twenty-four people in the group, only eight people remained, almost all of them were wounded, except for one person, two grenades and five or six steps, the only heavy weapon was a four-zero bazooka, and only two shells remained......"

"Call the artillerymen, kill them?" Bao Xiaosan said.

"Hehe, at that time, communications were not so developed, artillery was at least regimental level to command, and we semi-illiterate, that understand the coordinates of ****, even if we can, wireless communication is not used in that kind of weather, on the battlefield like us acted without authorization, we were going to be shot, at that time, even if the battalion headquarters found us, they would think that we had already died in the minefield, because before that, the special service battalion had not been interspersed with minefields. Qiu Qianjun said.

"What then?" asked Geng Baolei.

"What else can I do?" Qiu Qianjun's eyes unexpectedly showed a trace of hideousness, a trace of excitement, he gritted his teeth, and said word by word: "Blood debt...... Only...... Blood!"

....................................

....................................

Thirty years ago, on a rainy night, the dense jungle was drowned in pouring rain.

A flat land in the mountains, an artillery firing site was built against the wall, several square kilometers in size, the position stretched down a road, where the light source was faintly discerned, was the garrison, the whole position was surrounded by three layers of defense, even in such a heavy rain, there was a dazzling searchlight, scanning the surrounding jungle and bushes.

Bang!

Suddenly, a gunshot rang out in the dark night, the searchlights went out in response, the alarm immediately sounded piercingly, and several Vietnamese soldiers with guns ran out of the camp in an instant, shooting in the direction of the gun, the gunfire was loud, and the camp, the surrounding camps, and the firepower points were chaotic for a while, and the tongues of fire that were constantly spraying were like monsters hidden in the dark night, ready to harvest life at any time.

In the headquarters behind the wall, a major of the Vietnamese army was facing the phone, asking about the situation, he was arranging guards, this military important place, to prevent sneak attacks, the focus is on the ammunition depot in the wall hole, as long as it is well protected here, a small group of sneak attack troops, there is no need to worry about it at all.

The sound of gunfire came from the northwest corner, and soon the Vietnamese army clearly identified the incoming enemy, and the guards who kept pouring out of the camp suppressed the fire in this direction, which was the best angle for shooting, just sealing the entrance and exit, and after a military vehicle going to help was hit by a grenade and exploded, the Vietnamese army also became angry and returned fire according to the burning vehicle.

In the sound of gunshots like bursting beans, the screams of the people who were shot kept coming.

The occasional roaring sound of grenades would reflect a brilliant light, and the surrounding area of the light would be dotted with severed limbs and arms that had been blown away.

In the midst of the busy transfer, on the machine guns and sandbags that were sniped on the ground, the guards did not pay any attention to the battle outside the door, the enemy's intention was obvious, to take this position, and their order was to hold the ammunition depot.

The confusion lasted only a few minutes, and after the rapid reaction troops from two kilometers away, they set up a line of grenades, and with the sound of fire, grenades with tail flames pounced on the firing point of the sneak attack...... There was a roar, the flames shone like white ground, and another row of explosions sounded, igniting the oil drums that the guards rolled down, and after the explosion, a sea of fire, in the sea of fire, only a rolling figure remained, countless machine guns, submachine guns, and bullets poured on him like a torrential rain.

The gunshots, stopped, stopped.

The artillery formation, safe and sound.

In the call, they were urging to find out the situation at the scene.

Moments later, the Vietnamese army tried to see the opponents of the sneak attack artillery position, but were surprised to find that only six corpses were still burning.

At this time, the camp and the guards were all transferred to the door, and some people had a trace of ominousness in their hearts, and it was impossible for the six people to open the gate of the position so desperately...... Conspiracy!?

Someone was shouting in horror, pointing from afar.

The whistling sounded, and when I looked up, I saw only a flying cannonball, with a brilliant tail flame, it rose into the air, it roared, and in the frightened eyes of the defenders, it whistled, and exploded on the door of the cave without hindrance, igniting an ammunition box next to it, and the door fell with a bang, and it was directly behind the sandcastle that had been surrounded in a circle.

Before the shouts stopped, a second shell flew into the air and penetrated the already undefended ammunition depot without hindrance.

The sound of the earth shaking the mountain, half of the mountain vacated, poured, exploded, and poured again, pouring sand and stones, and the burial ground was hatred, and the whole position became a human purgatory, and it was too late to escape and was crushed under the rocks, and was hit by shrapnel during the escape, almost in the blink of an eye, this impregnable artillery position built along the mountain became a living burial ground with smoke and blood, and even the pouring rain could not extinguish the raging flames............

....................................

....................................

“...... In this way, the six of them feinted to attack the gate, we blew up the ammunition depot right under our noses, the old mule was very smart, he said, as long as the fight starts, the most heavily guarded place is our attack point, and it is really beautiful, a heavy artillery position was half blown up by us, they didn't even have the time to breathe, and the next day the large army attacked Lang Son, and they couldn't release a single shot. Qiu Qianli recounted this past incident, maintaining a meditative posture, as if immersed in the blood with his comrades-in-arms, like immersed in the memory of his comrades-in-arms.

"Wow, Uncle Qiu, are you a hero?" Bao Xiaosan said admiringly.

"Hehe, hero? I'm not. Qiu Qianjun shook his head and said self-deprecatingly: "Attacking the main gate is a death mission, I am the only one who did not stand up, the old mule knew that I was cowardly, so he left me by his side, he only left two bullets, he told me, if the Vietnamese devils did not blow up, we would shoot each other, he said that he was also afraid, afraid of pain, and did not dare to shoot himself." ”

Several audience members laughed unexpectedly, and that was perhaps the highest level of joke. Guan Qianjiao smiled, looking at this old man with a black face and wrinkles like an old tree, and looking at Qiu Di again, she seemed to have realized the factor of righteousness in her blood. She asked curiously, "Uncle Qiu, what about you...... How did you get back?"

"I almost didn't come back...... When the 40 bazooka is launched, it needs an open environment, otherwise the tail flame will burn itself, and the old mule's idiot is in a hurry, and both cannons are fired against the mountain wall, and he burns himself...... I have been carrying him on my back, walking back from the same road, but I can't come back at all, when I came, my brothers walked all the way to the corpse mat, when I left, only the two of us were left, he was burned by the tail flame, I was hit by a stray bullet in the shoulder, I carried him almost crawling, over a mountain, no longer had the strength...... It wasn't until the end of the Battle of Lang Son that the military industry cleaned up the battlefield and searched all the way for the sharp knife team members who wrote the blood book that day that we picked up the two of us...... The whole company of 108 people, the company commander, the instructor, the platoon commander, and the other two squad leaders were all killed, and only 11 of the seriously wounded, including me...... I later learned in the field hospital that five of the seriously wounded of our company who were ambushed by the Vietnamese army did not resist, and only six people remained in the whole company after the battle of Lang Son...... It was revoked and rebuilt only a few years later. Qiu Qianjun said, he slowly knocked on the cigarette pouch, the spark was extinguished, and only a cloud of residue came out.

Bao Xiaosan and Geng Baolei were immersed in the aftertaste of the story, Qiu Di looked at his father who was very interested in talking today, and asked, "Dad, what's wrong with you today?"

"Not really. It's for you. Qiu Qianjun looked at his son.

"Me?" Qiu Di was stunned, always thinking that he felt that his life was very frustrated.

"Yes, if you were in elementary school, you would have to walk more than ten miles to the village. If you go to school later, stay early, and then go to university, no matter how you look at it, it will not be better than the current life...... What else is there to be dissatisfied with? Who has been in the bag for a while, and it may be a problem of one kind or another, but if you want to be in the bag for a lifetime, that is your own problem. People always have to do something meaningful in life, which is more important than jobs and wages, otherwise when you reach my age, you look back and see that you have nothing worth remembering and being proud of, then it is called failure. Qiu Qianjun looked at his son in a friendly manner, he got up slowly, as if he had experienced another battle, and said tiredly:

"Sleep, children, how good the environment is now, let our generation say, it is happiness to be able to open your eyes and gasp, such a big living person, can you still be worried about a job?"

He smiled and patted his son on the shoulder, which was perhaps the best relief, and Qiu Di sent his father into the hall. After a while, the lights came out, and the mountain rested early, and today was already an exception.

The four people sat on the bluestone steps in front of the door, sitting quietly, no one spoke, they all looked at the night sky silently, the night sky in the mountain is so quiet, any faint sound may disturb this tranquility, in the tranquility, the stretching Dajianshan is covered by stars and moons, like falling asleep, like stretching its branches, like waiting for the first rays of dawn.

That should be a new beginning, a new day............
