Chapter 1532 Extra (1)

  July 1978!

Although deep in the Taihang Mountains, there is a blanket of snow, there is a group of gray brick-walled buildings surrounded by the mountains. On the large training ground, many soldiers in camouflage uniforms are training hard.

Perhaps because of the snow, a jeep was moving slowly on the simple mountain road and it took a long time to reach the gate of the gray building complex.

A middle-aged man and woman in green military uniforms got out of the car and stared at the large characters "Taihang Special Forces Military Academy" written in running script on the gate, their eyes full of emotion.

This was the place where they had lived, studied, and trained for several years. They had spent their entire teenage years here. For some reason, they had not been back for more than ten years. Unexpectedly, after so many years, the appearance of the gate had not changed at all.

"It's been a long time since I came back, sister. I haven't been to the Martyrs' Cemetery to visit those uncles and aunts due to work reasons. My father wants to beat me, so you have to help me block him." The middle-aged man suddenly said.

"With our father's skills, if he really wants to beat you up, I'll call my parents to help you, but we still won't be able to beat you! It's of little use for you to ask me for help, I'm afraid your precious daughter will have to step in!" The middle-aged woman smiled.

The middle-aged woman was not particularly beautiful, but her smile made the winter in Taihang Mountains a lot warmer.

"Haha! It has to be me. I have already figured out how to deal with the stubborn old man. With my daughter taking action, even the hardest fist of old Tang will become soft!" The middle-aged man grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, and laughed heartily.

"Mom and Dad, have we arrived at Grandpa and Grandma's house?" A sleepy six-year-old girl climbed up from the back seat of the jeep and asked while leaning against the window.

Along the way, she took a train from Yunnan Province to Sichuan Province to visit her great-grandmother who was over 95 years old, then took a train from Sichuan Province to Shaanxi Province and drove to Shanxi Province. She traveled from southwest to northwest, crossing half of China, which made the little girl very tired.

"We're here, Tang Xiaodao, quickly wipe your face. Look at how you sleep with saliva still on your chin. Grandpa hates sloppy people the most. Your father and I are counting on you to coax him!" said the middle-aged man with a serious face.

"Dad, you're still mean to me. I'll tell grandpa later. Yes, and my aunt! She said that if you're mean to me, just tell her and she'll help me." The little girl was obviously not afraid of her seemingly serious father. She pouted her little mouth and had a puffy face.

"That's not right! Ji Bei didn't say she was coming back! Didn't she call me some time ago and tell me that she and Professor He were developing a new type of weapon and were very busy?" The middle-aged man was surprised to hear his daughter say this.

The sister who was four years younger than him was definitely the evil star in Tang Shanhe's life. When she was still a baby, Tang Shanhe naturally treated her as a treasure in his hand and took care of her everywhere. When Tang Jibei was five or six years old, because of the outbreak of the Icefield War, Tang Dao and his wife were busy with their military affairs and had no time to take care of the young girl. She was basically taken care of by Tang Shanhe.

My goodness, Tang Shanhe probably took after his mother's temperament. Although he looked like a straight man, he was gentle. But Tang Jibei was a real little Tang Dao. He climbed trees, climbed walls, and went down rivers to fish when he was four or five years old. When he was six or seven years old, he started to build field fortifications around the garrison with a group of little kids. He learned to fight with slingshots and throwing mud. He named himself the captain of the Taihang Mountain Guerrilla Corps. He was so dirty every day! He didn't look like a girl at all.

The worst thing is that she is really talented in military affairs. When she was eleven or twelve years old, she had mastered the several sets of boxing taught to her by Uncle Mingxin to perfection. Not only was she invincible among her peers, even Tang Shanhe, who had already entered the military academy, could not beat her little sister even if he held back.

At the age of 18, Tang Jibei was even more radiant. She could beat an ordinary 350-10-98 shooter with a score of in rounds in a -meter range. Her fighting skills were so good that not only could Tang Shanhe, who had graduated from a military academy, be beaten by her, but even the guards who had been to the ice battlefield with their uncles Leng Feng, Li Jiujin, and Wei Donglai were outclassed.

Everyone thought that Tang Jibei would become a member of the army. The members of the army even called Tang Dao, hoping to recruit her into the special brigade of their military region.

As it turned out, Tang Jibei asked to go to university on her own initiative. The most amazing thing was that she was admitted and became a student of Professor He, who has become one of the most renowned military weapons experts in China.

To use the original words of many old leaders who know Tang Jibei: Tang Jibei is the strongest force in scientific research. With her around, there is no need for guards.

This is by no means an exaggeration, especially when Tang Shanhe saw with his own eyes ten years ago what he considered an insurmountable mountain - his father's Tang sword was unable to defeat his younger sister within ten moves. He knew that even if he used all his strength, he probably could not beat his younger sister.

Because, in the same period of time, he was kicked on the inside of the thigh by his old father in the eighth move. Just a little bit away, the grandmother who was watching the fight with a smile on her face would have hit the old father's butt with the cane in her hand.

The violent gene of the Tang family is really a perfect inheritance, except that this third-generation male is a little bit lacking, and that was improved by the Tan Tai family, a big family in Jiangnan.

The talented Tang Jibei is also the pride of his elder brother Tang Shanhe. The only regret he has is that his younger sister is still alone even though she is almost 34 years old.

Her requirements are not high. Whoever beats her is qualified to pursue her. The key is that she doesn't hold back. Who the hell can beat her?

There are so many sons of my father’s old comrades-in-arms, Uncle Leng, Uncle Cao, Uncle Qian, and even Uncle Long’s younger brother Long Aohua, who is three years younger than her and learned from Uncle Mingxin, all tried their best but were beaten to a pulp.

  However, Tang Dao fully supported his daughter's request, believing that her life was her own decision and he would never interfere!

This is also the thing that Tang Shanhe admires most about his father. Although he had made great achievements on the battlefield, he was very tolerant of his children and never forced them to join the army to inherit his career. Since the brother and sister turned 18, he rarely interfered with their work and life, and even rarely gave suggestions.

Even though Lieutenant Tang Shanhe had fought on the plateau for the first time 16 years ago, he only said one sentence on the phone: "Come back alive, otherwise your mother and I will be sad!"

The guard at the door strode over. He did not let down his guard just because the jeep had a license plate from the Shanxi Military Region. He took the ID that the short-haired middle-aged man handed over and after carefully comparing it, he showed respect in his eyes and saluted: "Hello, Chief! No. 1 is waiting for you at home."

Tang Shanhe raised his hand in return, and he and his wife got into the jeep. The jeep passed through the gate and drove into a valley behind the gray building.

. . . . . . . . .

After passing two guard posts in a row, they arrived at the family area consisting of a separate courtyard. Tang Shanhe did not let the car move forward, but got out of the car with his wife and daughter.

All the people living in this family quarters are old comrades-in-arms of my parents. Some of them are in poor health due to having fought in two major wars, or they just want to stay deep in the mountains to accompany their comrades who have sacrificed their lives, or they want to continue to accompany their father, the old leader, to establish China's first special military academy. They choose to live on the land where they once fought. When Tang Shanhe and his wife Long Zhan were young, they often went to these uncles' homes to eat and drink.

Perhaps because it was afternoon and the weather was a little cold, most of these elderly people who were over 70 years old were taking a lunch break. The entire family area was quiet. The couple looked at each other quietly, and tacitly did not take out the cigarettes and alcohol in the car, and walked towards their home in the innermost room empty-handed.

The courtyard gate was ajar. Obviously, his parents knew they would arrive at about this time and had opened the door early. Tang Shanhe stood at the door, but was a little hesitant.

"What? Are you really afraid that dad will challenge you to a duel? Don't worry, dad has long believed that my younger sister is his successor, so just forget it." Long Zhan couldn't help but laugh when he saw her husband, who was usually very decisive in his work, but now seemed timid when he was close to home.

Long Zhan is the eldest daughter of Long Ying and Shen Laoliu, only half a year older than Tang Shanhe. The couple are both backbones of the army. Long Zhan has been placed in the nursery of the Sihang Regiment when she was more than three months old. Tan Tai Mingyue loves her very much and takes Long Zhan to her side to take care of her during holidays. She and Tang Shanhe are childhood sweethearts. Tang Shanhe has long been accustomed to calling her sister, and even after they got married 3 years ago, the name has not changed.

Long Zhan, who had long been accustomed to living in the Tang family, was very familiar with the temper of his father-in-law Tang Dao. When he was a teenager, Tang Shanhe was almost "beaten" by Tang Dao all the way. It was not until his younger sister Tang Jibei showed extraordinary talent that Tang Shanhe was no longer "beaten". It was no wonder that her husband habitually showed this "cowardly" look when he thought about meeting his father.

If the special forces under his command saw the captain whom they called 'Tang Yanwang' in this state, they might be so frightened that their front teeth would fall out.

"Hehe! I have our Tang Xiaodao to protect me, so why would I be afraid of the stubborn old man? It's just that when we met last time, Dad already had white hair. It's been more than two years now, and I'm afraid of seeing him have more white hair." Tang Shanhe smiled, but his voice was a little low.

As a son, the thing he is most reluctant to admit is that his parents are gradually getting old. In his heart, his parents will always be the couple of middle-aged people in their prime who hold his hands.

  But time is cruel!

"Grandpa Hammer!" Tang Xiaodao broke free from his mother's hand and rushed into the room.

  On a clean cotton cushion behind the door, there was a big dog lying!

To be exact, it's an old dog!

Not only did the dog's beard turn white, but even the already extremely sparse hair on its head turned white. There was hardly any hair on its tail, and its eyes looked a little cloudy.

But with that huge body, who else could it be but Hammer?

Seeing Tang Xiaodao running towards him, the already very old Old Hammer raised his head with an effort and wagged his tail lightly a few times.

Tang Xiaodao had seen Hammer when her grandfather flew to visit her when she was 3 years old. At that time, Hammer, who was almost 40 years old, could still walk with her slowly. But now, Hammer, who has lived more than twice the lifespan of an ordinary dog, obviously has no strength to stand up. Looking at the old Hammer who was hugged by his daughter's neck and licked her hair with his tongue, Tang Shanhe's eyes were a little glistening, but he grinned and walked into the door and saluted: "Uncle Hammer, it's great to see you again!"

Hammer looked at Tang Shanhe who was saluting, and his cloudy eyes seemed to become clear. After Tang Xiaodao let go of his neck, he tried hard to sit up.

"Xiaodao, your hammer grandpa is tired, let it rest!" The door opened and a tall figure walked out.

"Grandpa!" Tang Xiaodao's eyes smiled into crescents and he pounced towards Tang Dao.

"Dad!" Tang Shanhe and his wife quickly straightened their backs.

"Come in, your mother has been feeling a little weak these past two days and can't be exposed to the cold wind!" Tang Dao, who already had a head of white hair, smiled and leaned over to pick up the little girl, then turned and went into the house.

Although Hammer is a typical cat that is afraid of heat but not cold, he is old and frail now, so he usually stays in his own room. Today, he knew that Tang Shanhe was coming back, so he stubbornly waited at the gate. For many years, he had been waiting for Tang Shanhe and Tang Jibei, the brother and sister, like this.

Tang Shanhe did not enter the house immediately. Instead, he turned around and picked up Hammer, who had fallen down again, before entering the house.

Hammer's body was much lighter than Tang Shanhe had expected. It was no longer like the uncle Hammer who weighed over a hundred pounds in Tang Shanhe's childhood memory and followed him into the mountains. Even if they met a jackal, his low roar would echo in the valley.

"Mom, why haven't you changed much over the years? You're still so beautiful!" Long Zhan has always been straightforward, and this kind of words of praise make people feel very real.

Indeed, even though Tan Tai Mingyue is almost seventy years old, apart from a few strands of white hair and a few wrinkles on his face, he does not look old at all. Although he is only wearing an ordinary military uniform, his heroic appearance is more elegant due to the years.

"Xiao Zhan is still good at talking. Unlike Shanhe, that blockhead, he can only smile foolishly when he sees me and can't say a few nice words." Tan Tai Mingyue took her daughter-in-law's hand, with smiles in her eyes and eyebrows.

"Then look at what you said, Xiao Zhan. You don't even see whose wife she is. With the nourishment of this pile of cow dung like me, Old Tang, over time, the rose can also turn into a rose!" Tang Dao, who was also very pleased while holding his granddaughter, began to talk nonsense.

"Grandpa, you are cow dung and grandma is a rose, then what are my dad and mom! And what am I?" Tang Xiaodao didn't quite understand the logic behind this.

"Your father is a cow dung egg, your mother is a gardenia, and our Tang Xiaodao is a jasmine. Once it blooms, the whole house will be filled with fragrance." Tang Dao fondly caresses his granddaughter's little face.

  Tangshan River.

You want to show off in front of my mother, so you should show off by asking why you dragged me into this. Not only am I cow dung, but I'm also just a small piece of it.

There hasn't been so much laughter in the Tang family for a long time.

. . . . . . . . . . .

"Is a war about to start?" The father and son entered the study, and as soon as they sat down, Tang Dao pointed directly at the core of Tang Shanhe's intention of returning home this time.

"Yes! The higher-ups have already decided, let's fight!" Tang Shanhe was not at all surprised by his father's accurate assessment of the war situation, and nodded.

"If we are going to fight, we must be fast, accurate and ruthless! Don't give the enemy a chance to breathe. Yunnan and Sichuan should have begun to gather troops, and attack on both the east and west fronts at the same time. There is no problem with the strategic deployment above. Your Uncle Wang has already asked me about it on a confidential phone." Tang Dao nodded.

"Dad, when I came back this time, the commander asked me to thank you for planning and training the mountain infantry regiment 10 years ago. Otherwise, this would be the first time for our army to conduct large-scale combat in the subtropical jungle, and I would have been a little unsure. With these six specially trained mountain infantry regiments, the commander is now confident." Tang Shanhe stood up. "Comrade Tang Dao, please accept the greetings from the Yunnan Provincial Military Region!"

"Oh! This guy Old Gu is still very good at using my name to cheat people. It's his own business, what does it have to do with me, an old guy who is about to retire? Let him go away and tell him that if he wins the fight, he can come to my place for a drink. If he wins but suffers a big loss, he doesn't have to come." Tang Dao didn't buy his son's tricks and waved his hand.

"Tell me! Lao Gu specifically asked you two to come back from afar. Do you want to get something from me?"

"It's you, father, who knows what your old subordinates are thinking right away. The leader said that as soon as the telegram arrives, you will know what he wants." Tang Shanhe's face was full of flattery.

"Your son is going to the front line, you have to give him some support!"

"Get lost, Xiaodao is good at being cute, but you are almost 40 years old, it doesn't work." Tang Dao rolled his eyes. "Hurry up and tell me, I have to prepare the food later, and those old guys will definitely come when it's time to eat. You have prepared all the gifts for them, it's free, I owe them for the rest of my life."

"60 mountain special operations experts, 20 military dogs, and 10 sniffer military pigs." Tang Shanhe looked at his father quietly, fearing that he was asking for too much.

In this respect, he is different from his father. When Tang Dao was young, he was bold and productive. His main strategy was to ask for a high price and pay back on the spot.

"How can that be enough?" Tang Dao frowned and said coldly.

  "I have a 180-man mountain special operations squadron, all assigned to your Yunnan Special Forces Brigade! I'll give you 50 military dogs and 50 sniffer pigs specifically for mine clearance.

In addition, you can go find your younger sister. The military research institute led by Professor He has developed the latest individual rocket launchers and lightweight assault submachine guns, which are specially developed for jungle warfare. Your special brigade will have priority in equipping them.

Also, let your uncle Mingxin and uncle Gen go as well. Those two old guys fought in the Anti-Japanese War and the Icefield War. With them in charge, I guarantee that those monkeys will be terrified and will never dare to invade our borders again."

  When Tang Shanhe heard these two names, his hair stood on end!

Who are Mingxin and Agen? They are known as the two killing gods under Tang Dao, and they made great names in the Anti-Japanese War and the Ice Field War respectively. Although they are now in their 60s, their murderous aura remains as strong as ever. Letting them go into battle clearly shows their father Tang Dao's attitude towards this war.

If we have to fight, we must defeat the opponent so badly that he cannot even stand up.

"By the way, where is Uncle Guaiguai? Why can't I see him?" Tang Shanhe asked curiously after the conversation.

The lifespan of a pig is much longer than that of a dog. The longest lifespan of a wild boar in the wild can reach more than 50 years. Over the years, Guaiguai has basically been moving around in the mountains alone and only returns home at night.

"That guy is still full of energy! He's been taking his cubs to have fun in the mountains these days. I guess he'll bring them back in a few days and hand them over to the school's pig training squadron for training." Tang Dao said with a smile.

Military Pigs are a unique subject in Taihang Special Forces Academy.

Trained military pigs can sniff out explosives buried 1.5 meters underground, and are considered experts in mine and bomb disposal. The demand for military pigs in major military regions and police even exceeded that for military dogs at one point.

Tang Dao gave away 50 heads in one go, which also shows how much importance he attached to this battle.

In the evening, Guaiguai, who had reached 400 pounds in weight, came back and had a close relationship with Tang Shanhe for a while. Then he went to sleep with the old Hammer. That had been his habit for many years. No matter where he went, he had to have his big brother Hammer with him.

Even several years later, at the entrance of Taihang Special Forces Academy, the bronze statues of a dog and a pig were no longer standing on the left and right, but side by side.

Active duty officers and soldiers do not wear military ranks, but the ranks of Hammer Sergeant and Sergeant Major shine brightly!

Tang Shanhe and his wife only spent one night at home. After meeting many uncles and aunts, they bid farewell to Tang Dao and his wife and their tearful daughter the next day. They brought the people that his father had arranged for them and arrived in Yuncheng, where two special planes were waiting for them and flew directly to the southwest front.

He only has two months to equip his troops with new equipment!

Two months later, the war in the southwest broke out!
