The commendation meeting began. There is no need to describe the lengthy ceremony. The leaders spoke on points one, two, three, and four, and Yuan Yuan kept dozing off.

She was not awakened until the passionate music started.

"Hualala..." Warm applause rang out around them. Yuan Yuan wiped the saliva from the corner of her mouth, raised her head, and clapped with everyone else. Uncle Qiu, wearing a big red flower, and other representatives walked up to the podium in unison.

Uncle Qiu's ordinary face was beaming with smile under the light. He seemed to be a completely different person from the hardworking figure who worked in the kitchen of the small shop on weekdays. Next to Uncle Qiu was Lin Hanliang, who was airdropped in. But he was handsome, young and handsome, and dressed like a rich man in Hong Kong, which made many young girls stare at him.

Seeing the award certificate with a bright red seal on it received from the county party secretary with a proud face, Yuan Yuan clapped even harder: "Wow, so impressive! I really hope I can stand on the podium next time!"

Qiu Jiu said: "Sister, you are being modest. If you were willing, you would be the one standing on the podium right now."

Yuan Yuan was happy and said, "I'm really not being modest. I just didn't know I could get the honor, otherwise I would have signed up. Whether it succeeds or not is another matter. I'll try my best."

With everyone talking and laughing, the award ceremony ended successfully.

Uncle Qiu treated everyone to dinner and set up a large table at the God of Wealth Restaurant. Yuan Yuan couldn't refuse the invitation and went anyway.

When the table was served, Uncle Qiu pushed Yuan Yuan to the main seat again: "Yuan Yuan, you must sit in this main seat! Otherwise it will be empty!"

Yuan Yuan took a look and saw that she was the youngest among all the people present, so she said without hesitation: "If it's empty, then it's empty!"

The main seat was actually vacant. After three rounds of drinks and talking about serious matters, the second half of the gossip began. Someone said, "In fact, there were originally twelve people to be commended today, but who knew that only ten people officially took the stage. Guess who the two who were eliminated were?"

Yuan Yuan was curious: "Who is it?"

The man smiled and said, "One of them is not from here. Her name is Wenlan. She is the tour guide who usually leads tours to the Overseas Chinese Building. Who would have known that she is so young but has a strong family background? She leads tours just for fun. In fact, she is the one who runs the whole business. In the past one or two years, she has earned a lot of foreign exchange by bringing truckloads of returning overseas Chinese to the county town. The key is that she has also advertised. Now if they want to come to the mainland to play, our Z city must come."

After he spoke, everyone was amazed. Yuan Yuan was actually Wenlan's partner. She knew all the details here. She stood by with a harmless smile on her face, politely playing the role of a loyal listener.

To be honest, I feel quite happy when I hear others talking about my partner with starry eyes and admiration.

Uncle Qiu asked: "What about the other person? Is he the one we all guessed?"

Yuan Yuan was stunned and looked at the people around her. Every one of them had a "you know" smile on their face. The top of her head lit up and she suddenly guessed who the person who had been wiped out was.

Hehehe, I was already happy, and now I’m even happier!

……

"Customs, 6 km/h. Visibility, 8 meters. Snow has stopped, thickness 32 centimeters. Suitable for movement."

The subtle and clear reports were transmitted to the ears through the radio. The members of the action team hidden under the snow pit were watching the mountain pass at the corner.

A large group of sheep rolled over the mountain pass like a rolling wave of cotton, surrounded by several shepherds. In the headset, Jiang Zhou heard the shepherds laughing and scolding with disdain: "These grandsons, they can't even pretend. There is no shepherd who drives sheep over the mountain in the snow! They deserve to be killed by us!"

Several comrades chuckled softly, with barely audible coughs in between.

Jiang Zhou interrupted: "Who is coughing?"

The shepherd boy said, "It's Erpang. He has a slight cold."

Erpang said, "Sorry, I'll hold back. Don't cause an avalanche."

Jiang Zhou's tone changed: "That's not the problem. Shouyue, check if the sheep have entered the sniper range. If conditions permit, start the action three minutes in advance!"

After a moment, Shouyue's voice came: "The wind speed is too fast! It is not suitable for sniping!"

The rolling flock of sheep, wrapped with people and the unspeakable things inside, had reached the mountain pass and slowly spread out in a fan shape. Suddenly, the entire mountain pass was filled with sheep. Those people turned their fur coats inside out and almost blended in with the sheep, making it increasingly difficult to distinguish them with the naked eye! As time passed, Erpang really didn't cough again.

But in this place with high altitude and low temperature, the soldiers all know how dangerous it is to catch a cold and hide in the snow!!

Erpang, you must hold on! !

Finally, they reached the designated position. With the sharp whistle of the Type 81 rifle, a "shepherd" fell down with blood mist coming out of his head. Sheep are very numb creatures. They continued to move forward without knowing it. Only the three or five sheep near the fallen shepherd stopped curiously to lick the salty blood. The remaining enemies quickly squatted down, using the sheep as cover, and counterattacked at the same time.

They even had big guns. The rocket launcher blasted in the direction of the sniper, and the fragile rocks collapsed like a cake hit by a hammer, with ice and snow... That place should have been Erpang's, and Erpang should have come out of the snow to attack...

But that place is now silent...

Everyone understood what was going on. Jiang Zhou grabbed his weapons, jumped out with red eyes, and rushed forward like a mad bull! ! The enemy was horrified, shouting and separating the flock, and the flamethrower on his shoulder spewed out a long tongue of fire, more than 50 meters long, burning towards Jiang Zhou.

Jiang Zhou's gun was faster, and with a series of bursts of fire, the man on the opposite side fell down. The flamethrower went from horizontal to upward, burning a large number of sheep to death, and then fell on the spot. The mountain pass was filled with the strange smell of burnt wool, and the action team quickly followed.

……

Total annihilation.

But Erpang died. He had died of pulmonary edema before the mountain collapsed. He was suffocated to death. In order not to alert the enemy, he had been suffocating in the snow. When he was dug out, he was still in a crawling posture ready to load the bullet at any time.

……

When Jiang Zhou woke up, a group of people gathered around his bed. His eyes fell on their old battalion commander, who gave him a thumbs up and said, "Xiao Jiang, you have done a great job again."

Jiang Zhou curled his lips and saluted, "Thank you, Commander."

The old camp said to Jiang Zhou, "Xiao Yang was burned just like you. He is in the next ward. His injuries are less severe than yours and he will be discharged this afternoon. You have completed your mission very well. I will write a report later to commend you. There is another good news. I will tell you after you recover from your injuries."

Jiang Zhou lowered his eyelids and hummed. Lao Ying said nothing about Er Pang, but his staggering steps as he left seemed to say everything.
