At the same time, crossing the border of China and traveling more than ten kilometers in the direction of Yueguo, on the winding mountains, if you look closely, you will find that some black shadows are moving slowly, with a slight firelight, not bright, but enough to dispel some darkness.

Groups of people in dark green camouflage uniforms, some sat by the fire, baking the fire to keep warm, some ate cold, hard, choking dry food, swallowing with difficulty, and some of the wounded were bandaging their wounds, even if the pain was so painful that their muscles popped out and they grinned, they did not say a word.

They were a company belonging to the 149th Division of Huaguoyun Province, which was a temporary resting place for them on the march.

"Everyone have a good rest, recuperate, and after a twenty-minute rest, we will continue to set off, and we must arrive at 798 Heights before 11 o'clock tomorrow morning."

Heralds weave through the crowd, conveying orders from above.

"Xiao Su, what are you doing sitting here!" A figure nervously patted the young man sitting in an open area, "What if this is detected by the enemy?" ”

"No, Brother Zhang." The young man looked back and smiled, the bright moonlight shining on his face, his camouflage face could not see his facial features, but his eyes were surprisingly bright.

This person is Su Congwen, who is remembered by his family.

"I've seen it, although it's relatively open here, but the mountains over there block it, and I can't see it at all." Su Congwen explained, "I just want to sit here for a while. ”

"Ugh." The man he called Brother Zhang sighed and sat down next to him, "Xiao Su, are you homesick?" ”

"Brother Zhang, don't you want to?" Su Congwen asked rhetorically.

"Why don't you want to?" Brother Zhang carefully took out a photo from his pocket and handed it to him, with a proud and proud face, "Look, this is my daughter, she just spoke when I left, and she would call her father." ”

After finishing speaking, he paused and put on a sad face, "I don't know if I can go back?" Does my daughter remember me when she goes back? ”

"Will go back." Su Congwen affirmed, "Brother Zhang, we must have confidence, we have the upper hand in this war, and the current situation seems that the Vietnamese side has shown a declining trend." ”

Although at the beginning of the war, Hua occupied more than 20 important cities and counties in the northern part of the country in a short period of time, and declared victory within a month.

Subsequently, Chinese troops began to systematically destroy the infrastructure in the northern part of Vietnam, and then withdrew from Vietnam. After the withdrawal of the Vietnamese People's Army from China, it also declared victory in the war. This has further deteriorated Sino-Vietnamese relations to their lowest point, and the war is far from over.

Brother Zhang waved his hand, "Xiao Su, I am just a big old man, my family is poor, so I chose to be a soldier, I am not like you, you are a student of the military academy, you have a good future, you shouldn't work hard with us people." ”

The students who participated in the war at the Chuncheng Army Academy were all divided into various companies, Su Congwen was the only military academy college student in their company, and the people in the company only thought that Su Congwen was a weak scholar with no power at first, but after seeing his brave performance at the forefront at all times, everyone changed their opinions.

"You have knowledge, culture, and understanding, and the company commander has said that you are a senior talent, you don't have to work so hard, just stay in the rear and make suggestions."

There was a look of envy in Brother Zhang's eyes, "If you work hard, maybe you can become a general in the future, we will be different, we will only have this life in this life." ”

"Brother Zhang, whose life is not fate? I'm no different from you. Su Congwen smiled and looked into the distance, "No matter what the reason for going to the battlefield, we have only one purpose, to defend our country and protect our people." ”

Su Congwen applied to rush to the front line by himself, he is not a timid person, since he is here, he will not let his comrades stay in front of him.

"Besides, aren't all generals spelled out on the battlefield?" Su Congwen put his hand on his shoulder, "Brother Zhang, try to kill the enemy, maybe you can too." ”

"That's right." Brother Zhang smiled, "If I can become a general, my ancestral grave can emit green smoke, no, my ancestor is estimated to be able to crawl out of the ground directly." ”

Su Congwen couldn't help but smile.

"By the way, Xiao Su, do you want to take a look at this?" Brother Zhang took out something like a trick.

Su Congwen's eyes widened, "Telescope? Where are you from? ”

"Yes." Brother Zhang looked excited, "The company commander said that there is no situation now, and we will show us the telescope that we collected before, just a few minutes, I grabbed it from so many of them, hurry up." ”

"Aren't you homesick?" Brother Zhang pointed ahead, "This is more than ten kilometers ahead, which is the border line, and I guess I can see a little something." ”

Su Congwen was stunned for a moment, and then smiled, "Brother Zhang, the straight-line distance that this telescope can see during the day is only 7 or 8 kilometers, not to mention that it is still night, and you can't see that far." ”

"How do you know if you don't try?" Brother Zhang didn't understand this, so he directly stuffed the telescope into his hand, "Take a look, just take a look, and be closer to home." ”

Su Congwen paused, "Okay." ”

He also wanted to be closer to home, even if it was just self-deception.

Su Congwen picked up the telescope and looked around, thinking that it was just pitch black, but in this darkness, he saw some blooming points of light, red, green, yellow, blue......

What is it?

Su Congwen was stunned, and in his pupils, he saw those points of light rising into the air, blooming, and falling.

This is...... Firework! Blockbuster fireworks!

"Do you see anything?" Brother Zhang asked curiously.

Su Congwen put down the binoculars, turned his head to look at Brother Zhang, his voice was dry, and he asked impatiently, "What day is today?" ”

"What?"

"I said what day it is!"

"What day? Today is February 15th, huh? Brother Zhang was confused by the question, and then his expression suddenly certain, thinking of something, his eyes were widened, "February 15th, February 15th, today is Chinese New Year's Eve!" ”

"Chinese New Year's Eve, it's New Year!"

Brother Zhang couldn't help screaming, but he still remembered suppressing his throat, but there was irrepressible excitement on his face.

Chinese New Year? Su Congwen's expression was stunned, a little dazed, has it been the New Year?

On the days of marching and fighting, there is only one most important thought for them, which is to live and return home alive.

It turned out that inadvertently, the New Year had arrived.

"You show me, show me." Brother Zhang anxiously took the binoculars and held them up to look, "It's fireworks, it's really fireworks!" ”

As he spoke, his excited voice already had a slight cry.

The mountain breeze is blowing, separated by more than a dozen kilometers, a long border line, separating people who miss each other.

Su Congwen took out his small notebook from his pocket, the corners of the notebook were worn, and he slowly wrote down a line of words.

On February 15, 1980, Chinese New Year's Eve, on the border between China and Vietnam, I looked at my hometown, and my heart had crossed the mountains.
