Gu Fengchun looked at Liu Wensheng's wrinkled face full of fear, and couldn't help feeling very nervous. He really wanted to know what Liu Wensheng had gone through.

The following are Liu Wensheng's memories. For the convenience of description, we temporarily use No.1 as the name, and the "I" in it refers to Liu Wensheng.

Beginning on February 1979, 2, a large-scale group army began to attack Vietnam's transgressive troops, and completed the first phase of military operations on March 14.When marching, we were responsible for clearing mines. When the army retreated, the main task of our engineering company was to lay mines behind.And my experience mainly happened when I marched.

When the army marched very quickly, our engineers had to risk their lives to carry out mine clearance tasks in the flames of war, and I was one of these engineers. At that time, the attack on Lang Son on the Eastern Front was very difficult, and the troops suffered heavy losses. It is said that our regiment The reconnaissance platoon suffered heavy losses and urgently needed to be replenished. Our engineering company also suffered heavy losses. Of the 25 comrades in my team, only [-] remained after the war started only three days ago.

I was selected from the engineer company to be added to the newly formed reconnaissance platoon. At first I thought I could read and read maps.Later I learned that our team was not a reconnaissance team in the traditional sense. We had a very special mission and were assigned to the Thirteenth Army on the Western Front.There were thirty people in the reconnaissance team, two of them had just arrived here, one looked only in their thirties, and the other was over 60 years old.The man in his thirties is named Chen Wenhua, who is said to be a special commissioner of the Central Committee, while the man in his 60s is a very famous professor of a university named Ye Pingbo.Ye Pingbo and Chen Wenhua were treated very well. It is said that General Xu treated them differently at that time. It was thanks to these two people that I met General Xu before leaving.

At that time, the war on the Eastern Front was already heating up. On March 3, we left Lang Son in the dark. On that night, General Xu issued a death order, demanding that after dawn, Lang Son should not have a building that would not be destroyed. This order The red-eyed soldiers executed without compromise.After our army defeated the 1th Division, which is known as the most elite enemy army, Lang Son was occupied by our army on March 308. From then on, the Vietnamese army had no danger to defend on the Eastern Front; and the engineers I belonged to were not even defeated in those few days. Now, if I hadn't been transferred out of the engineering company, my fate would have been the same as that of my dead brother.We, a group of people performing special missions, transferred to Liyunnan by helicopter, but followed Ye Pingbo's instructions and quickly marched into the depths of the rainforest.Except for Ye Pingbo and Chen Wenhua, the rest of the personnel are the top soldiers selected by each company. Except for me, they are the elites of each team.And this so-called mission, except for these two people, we don't know.We basically just escorted these two people to their destination and then escorted them back.

The discipline in the army is very strict, and we will never ask questions that we know should not be asked.According to Ye Pingbo's introduction, we are going to march towards the depths of the rainforest, and the destination is a ruins of an ancient city.And must arrive within 5 days.Ye Pingbo said that if he fails to arrive on time, the consequences will be very serious.

We are generally not very interested in non-military tasks, but the level of this task has been valued more than general military operations.We dare not take this lightly.We all know very well that in this rainforest, it looks very peaceful, but in fact, we all know that there are more murderous intentions hidden in the tropical rainforest than on the battlefield. In addition to various deadly poisonous snakes, there are countless poisonous insects that suck blood. Leeches, life-swallowing swamps, and more.Add to this the fear of guerrillas and mines in Vietnam.Every step we take is a hidden murderous intention.Along the way we have to be on tenterhooks.Although I know that being a soldier means pinning your head to your waist, but this feeling is especially appropriate on the battlefield.

By the time we arrived in Yunnan, the battle on the western front was drawing to a close, and our mission had just begun.In addition to the threat of the natural environment of the rainforest, there are also guerrillas lurking in the rainforest and scattered Vietnamese troops. These are nothing. What we are most worried about is that when Vietnam occupied the Khmer Rouge, if they If the Chinese army returns to aid the east and west lines, then if we go in this direction, the probability of bumping into them is very high.

Ye Pingbo and Chen Wenhua were clearly prepared for this harsh environment. We tried our best to avoid places where there might be Vietnamese troops, but in this way, we walked deeper into the rainforest.

The first day was uneventful, but on the second day, bad luck began to haunt our team.

On the way, Chen Wenhua told our team leader Xiao Zhonghua that the purpose of our march was not to find any ancient city, but to find an ancient tomb. This ancient tomb is the burial place of Shu Pan, the king of Anyang.He explained that the reason why he came here for investigation during the war was that after the two had completely turned against each other, the possibility of them wanting to enter Vietnam for investigation was almost zero.

My aristocratic family reads Fengshui, and I am very sensitive to things like yin and yang houses, and I am very interested in what they say, but I also know that there is deceit in Chen Wenhua's words. Shu Pan was originally the king of Shu, but Sima Qin Shu was wrongly conquered, the Shu people lost their country, and Shu Pan was tossed and turned, and the Anyang Kingdom was established in northern Vietnam.However, after being defeated by Zhao Tuo, Shu Pan fled from Vietnam without knowing what to do. How could an ancient tomb of Shu Pan suddenly appear?Just when I was suspicious, Chen Wenhua looked at me for a long time before asking me: "Are you Liu Wensheng, the son of Company Commander Liu Defu?

I was very surprised at the time. Since my father was classified as a ghost and a snake, no one in the army has been called. Those years were hard, and the old man couldn't stand the repeated criticisms, and he couldn't stand it. , died of illness in the cowshed.When the self-defense counterattack started, the black hat of ghosts and monsters on his head hadn't been taken off yet.And Chen Wenhua looks to be around thirty, so the possibility of knowing my father is not very high.

I nodded and said, "You know my father?"

Chen Wenhua shook his head, and said with a half-smile, "No, I haven't seen him, but I do know your grandfather." As soon as I heard it, the nameless karma burst into flames. The prince is playing chess, isn't Chen Wenhua looking for a way to say this?Could it be that he knew my grandfather before he was born?At that time, I was about to teach him a lesson, but he said in a serious manner: "Ghost Eye Old Liu is famous all over the world for his Feng Shui skills. Who doesn't know him? You should learn some of his skills, right?"

As soon as I heard it, this ghost-eyed old Liu was my grandfather's alias. This was a top hat given to him by people in the industry, saying that he seemed to have a yin and yang eye. .But when I heard this, my anger subsided and I shook my head like a drum, and said anxiously: "I have already drawn a clear line with these ghosts and snakes, and the four old things!" It has just ended, but the influence left over from the special period is still deeply imprinted in my heart.Even if I die, I dare not admit that I have learned this family-passed craft; otherwise, even if I finish this battle alive, I am afraid that I will be scolded and criticized by the people when I go back.

Chen Wenhua patted me on the shoulder, and said softly: "Liu Wensheng, you can deny it, but before you were transferred here, I checked everything clearly. Now you can play dumb, but when I need you When you go out, your eyes should be bright. I can guarantee that when you go out, you don’t have to bear anything for the past. You don’t have to stay in the army for seven or eight years as a veteran. When you go out, I can give With a clean identity, you will have a bright future." After he finished speaking, he smiled inscrutablely, and the look in his eyes made me shudder.But something in his words made my heart skip a beat.

Chen Wenhua didn't talk much, and Ye Pingbo was even more silent.We soldiers know better that keeping quiet is the safest thing in this kind of place.

Chen Wenhua is more vigilant than any of us, if not for him, I believe I should have ended my life in that swamp.When passing by the edge of a swamp, he whispered, "Get down."We still don't know what happened, but the gunshots of Vietnamese soldiers rang out suddenly.It turned out that a small group of disbanded Vietnamese troops was resting here, lying in ambush in the swamp, and we were attacked as soon as we appeared.Fortunately, the Vietnamese army also suddenly discovered us and fought hastily, otherwise our losses would be heavy.

Xiao Zhonghua said bitterly: "Damn Vietnamese barbarians." Then the guns in his hands fired at the Vietnamese army, and everyone fought back. For a while, there were loud gunshots in the silent rainforest.Only Ye Pingbo didn't dare to move while laying on his stomach. Everyone, including Chen Wenhua, was shooting at the remnants of the Vietnamese army.

But the Vietnamese have a big advantage in numbers, and their weapons are no worse than ours.The irony is that many of the guns they used were weapons used by us to support Vietnam in counterattacking the US military during the Vietnam War.It's all right now, I raised a white-eyed wolf to bite me back.Looking at the equipment, you can tell that they are not scattered soldiers, but troops with rich combat experience.I later learned that this remnant soldier turned out to be part of the deserters from the elite 316a Division of the Vietnamese Army.We kind of hit a hard bone.When we meet, we are at a disadvantage.

Chen Wenhua shouted in desperation: "Bomb them with mortars."

Xiao Weihua suddenly became enlightened, quickly summoned his men to suppress the enemy's firepower, and then unloaded the mortar and loaded the shells.In order to deal with unexpected events, we also took two small local mortars and set off with the team.The range is exactly the kind of miniature artillery of tens to hundreds of meters; the lethality is also amazing.It really came in handy.

The power of the mortar is really scary.Under the control of the gunners Liang Yishan and Ma Xiaojie, the two mortars aimed at places where the enemy's firepower was fierce.

With screams and stumps scattered everywhere, Ma Xiaojie fired a cannonball fiercely into the swamp, and the mud on the horse in the swamp immediately flew around, accompanied by several shrill screams.

A foul smell came out as the mud flew up.The smell made us all feel a little sick to our stomachs.We have even gotten used to the smell of corpses on the battlefield, and now squatting next to corpses and eating dry food with relish; but this rotten smell is more disgusting than the smell of corpses.There are a lot of fallen leaves and other organic matter in the swamp, which usually produce methane when decomposed, but the methane has absolutely no such stench, at most it smells like rotten eggs.In the dense rainforest, there is no distinction between upwind and downwind, and the stench immediately swept the entire area. Until decades later, when I think of this smell, my stomach will still be acidic.
