Master of the city

"Xiaoman, this is grandfather and grandfather Liu, and that is..." The girl obviously met the family for the first time and was very formal. Ma Zhiyuan introduced her one by one. When he introduced Zhang Fan here, he stopped for a moment. Because Ma Zhiyuan had not met Zhang Fan in the army.

"Oh, this is Zhang Fan who came to treat me. Xiaoman, just call him brother Zhang. " Unexpectedly, Mr. Ma didn't introduce the topic to his son-in-law. Instead, he simply introduced Zhang Fan. His mood was a little lower.

"Grandfather, grandfather Liu, brother Zhang." The girl a little to deal with the cry, the same low mood she is full of absent-minded expression, but now no one will blame her.

"Pony, she's your adopted daughter. You mean he's bald. He died?" Mr. Liu's face is full of disbelief. Obviously, Ma Zhiyuan's "little bald head" is also growing up. Now he suddenly hears the news. Although it can't be said that it's a white haired man who sent a black haired man, it's hard to avoid some sadness in his heart.

"Well, this..." Ma Zhiyuan side head looked at Shen Xiaoman, "in fact, it is not sure, can only be said that it is missing, and has not yet found the whereabouts. Little bald parents left early, and his wife died in childbirth. There was only one daughter left in the family, and no one took care of her. So I first applied to the organization to get her custody. If Guoao could come back, it would be the best. "

When Ma Zhiyuan said this, Shen Xiaoman's eyes were full of tears.

"Missing? What's going on? Missing on a secret mission? " Mr. Liu's brows are wrinkled tightly. Ma Zhiyuan's army is the old man's former army. Although it is impossible for retired old men like them to know the contents of secret missions, there will be more or less spread of secret missions in the small circle.

But before, Mr. Liu had never heard of it.

"A field mission is not a secret one."

Ma Zhiyuan takes Shen Xiaoman to the table, takes a cigarette out of his pocket, lights it for him, and takes a hard breath.

"Field training? Do you mean that a simple field training lost the little bald head? How do you fools serve in the army! " Mr. Liu slapped him on the table.

It's no wonder that he has a big temper. Field training is a common thing for these professional soldiers. Shen Guoao is not a big soldier who doesn't know nothing. He's already a battalion commander and Ma Zhiyuan, the commander of the battalion. What can happen if there are two of them?

Ma Zhiyuan spits out a long puff of smoke ring, "uncle Liu, do you know the bombing camp?"

"Bomb camp? Did you have a bomb camp? How can it be

As soon as he said this, Mr. Liu's face was filled with astonishment.

Bombing camp, also known as "Jingying" and "yingxiao", is a very special military term. It is a kind of abnormal action that all officers and men gather blindly and urgently when the troops stay in the camp at night without receiving any instructions.

In modern history, the most famous "bombing camp" is the one on the first phase of Huangpu, sun Yuanliang, the general of the national army.

At the time when Xu Beng would defeat the defeated general, sun Yuanliang led the 16th corps to break through from Chenguanzhuang and ran outside to see that there were still more than 400 people left.

Later, according to the personal experience, we learned that sun Bu was basically intact when he broke through the encirclement, retreated to camp in Xiaoxian County, and our small army attacked at night. After running all night, sun Bu thought that he was far away from the battlefield, and tens of thousands of people fell asleep almost at the same time, without even sending out sentries.

After being surrounded for many days, the officers and soldiers of sun BINGTUAN suddenly relaxed and were attacked. Their nerves suddenly collapsed. The whole army screamed and even fought against each other. The army of tens of thousands of people broke up. What can be verified is that this is the last large-scale "barrage howling" of ten thousand people in the world military history.

Mr. Liu's suspicions are not unreasonable.

The bombing camp mostly occurred in the days of frequent wars.

The military camp is a place for killing. In the traditional military regulations, there is the so-called "Seventeen fifty-four cuts". Soldiers are living in fear, and their mental depression over the years can be imagined. In addition, the traditional military ranks are very strict, and they are usually suppressed by military discipline. Before the war, everyone's life and death are uncertain. I don't know if they can come back alive tomorrow. Everyone is on the verge of mental breakdown.

At this time, as long as there is a little disturbance, it may be just a soldier's scream of nightmares, which can ignite the hysterical and crazy atmosphere in the camp. The soldiers completely get rid of the shackles of military discipline. Some people pick up the guy, and some people take revenge. They chase and kill officers, enemies and unknown comrades. The next day, only one body is left.

According to superstition, the bombing of barracks is an ominous omen, indicating that the army is facing the disaster of extinction. In order to avoid disaster, the troops usually take the defensive position and cancel all offensive plans when the barracks are bombed.

But Shen Guoao's department is not going out to fight at all. It can't even carry out a mission. It's just a simple field training. How can the mental pressure make them blow up camp?

"No, even if it's a bombing camp, it shouldn't be missing. When it's a bombing camp, there are soldiers hurting each other, but even if they are killed in duty, there are corpses. How can you say they are missing?""So it's not easy Sister in law, do you have any wine? I want to have a drink. "

Ma's sister-in-law in the kitchen took a bottle of stuffy donkey and handed it to Ma Zhiyuan. These soldiers like to drink spirits. The more you worry, the more you drink.

Half a month ago, a group of recruits came up and were assigned to the battalions of Ma Zhiyuan and Shen Guoao. As for recruits, when they first joined the army, they had to do a good training for a period of time. This is what happened in the army. After finishing some routine training in the barracks, Shen Guoao proposed to take these recruits to do a field training.

Because it was summer, the two officers also consciously wanted to do some field survival training, so the distance of this field training was far away.

It was their third day in the mountains, and they camped on the hillside of a big mountain in the evening. According to a mountain people who met on the road, this mountain is called Guhong mountain, and a temple on the mountain is called Guhong temple. At that time, the mountain people also told them that they had better not stay here for a long time at night. The mountain is not clean.

But how could a group of soldiers take such words seriously? Soldiers are always murderous. A group of energetic young men have guns in their hands. If there is anything unclean, they will be even with him. When camping, some recruits joked that if there was a beautiful ghost or something, they must catch it back and take turns to warm the bedclothes for the brothers, which made the people around laugh.

Ma Zhiyuan naturally thinks it's no big deal. People in the army don't believe this kind of feudal superstition. After putting up the camp, he went up the mountain with his guards.

Ma Zhiyuan was born in a military academy and had a little intellectual hobby. In my spare time, I like to visit some places of interest. Although soldiers don't believe in Buddhism and Taoism, the statues and inscriptions in the temple still have a certain appreciation value. Anyway, Shen Guoao is watching in the barracks. It won't be a big deal if he leaves for a while.

The time of encampment was about 8 p.m. Ma Zhiyuan and the guards were not familiar with the terrain. They walked wrongly several times, and it was already 9:30 when they climbed to the top of the mountain.

In the middle of the top of the mountain stands a small temple which is not very tall. The plaque on the door of the temple is askew. It seems that it will fall from the door at any time. There is also a stone tablet outside the temple, which is also very dilapidated.

Ma Zhiyuan flashed his flashlight at the plaque to see if it was inscribed by a famous scholar. However, when he saw the words on it, he was stunned. It turns out that this temple is not called "Guhong Temple" at all, but "guhun Temple".

The inscription of guhun temple can be seen in the stone tablet outside the temple.

However, it's not unusual. The place names in many places in China are quite random. If there are any landmark buildings, the name of the place is what it is called, such as the famous Princess cemetery in Beijing.

But later, people thought that the name was inappropriate, and it sounded unlucky, so they changed the homonym. For example, in many cities, the road to build martyrs' cemetery was called "Cemetery Road". Later, in order to avoid bad luck, it was changed to "Linyuan road". Yangzhou's famous "screw top" is the homonym of "Lei Shi and Ding".

With such a temple, it's easy for the mountain people to understand that it's not clean here. It's likely that there are some legends about lonely souls and ghosts here.

Ma Zhiyuan naturally didn't care about those shadowy legends. He went into the temple with the guards to have a look. What the temple worships is not Buddha Sanqing or something, but three fierce ghosts with blue faces and fangs.

Interestingly, the statue in the middle looks like the armor of an ancient general, and the helmet is held in the hand. Because the statue has been broken for a long time, it can't be seen from the shape that it was a general of any age. The fierce ghosts on the left and right sides are also dressed as soldiers, one holding a three pointed two edged knife, the other holding a horsewhip.

If it wasn't for the terrible appearance of the blue face and tusks, it would have felt like the Guandi temple.

The dilapidated table had fallen down long ago, the censer was overturned, and some traces of incense ash could be seen on the ground, but it was obvious that many years had passed.

There are some differences between the scene in this small temple and what Ma Zhiyuan imagined. He has no interest in seeing it and plans to leave. However, as soon as he steps out of the temple, the security guard has raised his ears and asked him to listen carefully.

At first, Ma Zhiyuan knew what the guards told him to listen to. Soon, he understood that at the foot of the mountain, there was a sound of counting. From the direction, it was the place where they camped.

"What is Shen Guoao doing?"

After field training and encampment, we usually don't engage in military training. After all, recruits also need proper rest, cheering songs and a few programs. Generally speaking, there is no counting program, especially when it's ten o'clock, even if there is a program, it should be over.
