Military compound

Shan Jun turned around.He was too busy messing with Zhou Haifeng just now, so he didn't pay attention to look around.Suspiciously, he turned on the flashlight.

The flashlight illuminated the dark space behind.Shan Jun suddenly froze...

Ever since Shan Jun grew up, he knew that the ammunition depot that he desperately wanted to find when he was a child did not exist at all.

It was just a trick to deceive children, and like all the strange legends in this air-raid shelter, it was just a fairy tale to satisfy the hero's fantasy and curiosity.

But now, he was facing the space behind him, this huge underground warehouse, right in front of his eyes.In this cave full of densely packed weapons and ammunition boxes, the light of the flashlight illuminates the words on the old box skins, the dates and battle tracks before the founding of the People's Republic of China...

They are silent and majestic, like thousands of soldiers with scars, exuding awe-inspiring dignity underground. This majestic and majestic scene suddenly hit Shan Jun's heart.

This is the place that Shan Jun has fantasized about countless times since he was a child, and he also thought it didn't exist at all. At the age of 12, he came in just to find it.But he didn't find it. Back then, he only found two grenades.

Shan Jun stared blankly.

He turned his head in disbelief, his eyes met Zhou Haifeng's...

The ammunition boxes were all empty.

The truth of the so-called ammunition depot is just a place to store shells, like old archives left in a military museum.Their value is only history, and they are stored in this deep underground.Although it exists, it is not the glorious treasure that these boys have been looking for since childhood in their dreams of heroes and glory.Just the ruins and remnants of the war.

Boys have grown up, childhood dreams have faded and changed.I finally know that some obsessions only belong to childhood.It was just an illusion of childhood obsession.

Shan Jun leaned against the wall and smiled wryly.

There is only half a fork in the road from the road he entered when he was 12 years old.Back then, he only needed to take a few steps to the left to find it, but he chose to go to the right.

Now six years have passed, but Zhou Haifeng found him and brought him to this meeting that he should have had six years ago.Shan Jun didn't know if this was a joke made by God.

"How did you find it?"

Having seen enough, the two sat on the ground, in the dark tunnel.

"The company's security training, I have learned it. 95 air defense maps, an unnamed mark is added at this position. This kind of hidden mark generally means that there is a warehouse. I also guessed."

The guard company has training in civil air defense facilities in emergency situations, and Zhou Haifeng has learned the structure inside.

It is far away from that era, and some so-called secrets in the past are gradually lifted. This place that was not marked publicly on the map in the past has been marked.With the historical and political factors removed, these things are no longer covered up.They won't be in this place for long and will be dealt with soon.

After Shan Jun went to middle school, those childhood thoughts faded away, and he stopped studying for a long time.

Now, he leans against the wall, facing the sacred place in his childhood heart.He could not meet it when it had been all his attachment.Now, he met, but has grown up.He faced these ammunition boxes as if he was facing his childhood self.

Today, he finally bid farewell to that self.

The two sat quietly against the wall, facing the empty ammunition depot in front of them.

Shan Jun asked Zhou Haifeng, how did you know I was looking for this.

Zhou Haifeng said that the chief had said so.

The old political commissar was fine at home, and often chatted with Zhou Haifeng. He was old and liked to have someone to chat with. When chatting, he often talked about Shan Jun's childhood and his obsession with this ammunition depot.

Shan Jun paused for a moment, then asked again, "No flashlight, no lighter, how did you find the way?"

Zhou Haifeng paused for a while, and took out a bunch of keys from the military uniform pocket on his chest.

There was something tied to the keychain, and Zhou Haifeng turned it on.

A whitish ray of light casts light and shines on the ground.

A tiny flashlight...

"Zhou Haifeng."

Before leaving, Shan Jun looked at the opposite side and spoke quietly.

"The selection list is down."

Shan Jun said.

"Go ahead."

……

The selection of the military region's organs will start a week later.

Zhou Haifeng qualified with the first overall score in the individual test of the team directly under the agency, entered the re-selection, was called by his superiors, and was directly required to go to the senior infantry school training base in the suburbs for closed training, and then participate in the selection after training.

The leaders of the military region government attach great importance to this recruitment. In the past few years, the government soldiers have been counting down in the previous military competitions and selections. It would be good if they don’t shave their heads. If there is a special forces member, the leader's face will also be bright.So an emergency training camp was arranged, and the re-election was to compete with the top soldiers of the field army. Only those who passed the second selection were eligible to be selected for training at the special base in the mountains. Only those who were not eliminated in the end could become real special forces. .

On the day Zhou Haifeng left, the old political commissar personally sent him out.

"Good boy, show your face! Go and fight for me!"

The old political commissar was quite satisfied with Zhou Haifeng's performance and personally sent him off.The old man was a revolutionary general in the war years. These old soldiers who had been in the army for a lifetime admired soldiers with excellent military qualities. Judging from the results of this selection, Zhou Haifeng looked up to him with admiration.

"Go ahead! Don't be afraid if you don't get selected. Come back, and I will send you to the military academy with my own hands!"

The old political commissar patted Zhou Haifeng on the shoulder vigorously.

Grandma Shan Jun said to Zhou Haifeng, "It's early in the morning, and Junjun hasn't gotten up yet, so I won't come down to see you off."

Zhou Haifeng put on his suitcase, saluted and bid farewell to the two old men.

Before getting into the car, he raised his head and glanced at the windows in the southeast corner of the second floor.

He took one last look at the window, looked at the chief building where he had been staying for a month, turned around, and got into the car.

The car roared and left the military compound far away.

half a month later.

A training camp in the southwest camp of a certain field area.The training camp is located in the middle of the mountain, and all the barracks, facilities, and training grounds are covered with protective nets and camouflage nets.

On the rugged mountain road, a long line of stuffy tank trucks covered with thick canvas carried the participating soldiers from all over the place to the selection place.

All the people who passed the line for the first time were sent here for the second selection after intensive training in various places. The elites from all parts of the military region were assembled, and more than 300 people came here.Cross-country marching with heavy loads, individual action and tactical skills, team-based coordinated operations, shooting in various environments, and survival in the wild are all selection subjects, and cruel elimination will occur every day.

The participating soldiers filed down from the car and quickly formed a team spontaneously.There were old comrades who met each other, and some who just met and talked to each other. The scene was very lively.

"Hey! Deputy! Are you here too?"

As soon as Zhou Haifeng got out of the car, he was squeezed by a soldier in the crowd and hugged him hard.

"It's you kid!"

When Zhou Haifeng turned around, he was also pleasantly surprised, and punched his shoulder hard.

This person is Tang Kai, who is Zhou Haifeng's fellow soldier. He was in the same squad as Zhou Haifeng when he was in the recruit company. Zhou Haifeng was the deputy squad leader in the recruit company, so Tang Kai called him the squad deputy.Later, Zhou Haifeng was assigned to the Linfen Brigade, and he was assigned to the anti-aircraft artillery company, and then they separated. The two met again in the special warfare selection, which can be regarded as the meeting of old comrades. They were both surprised and happy.

"Squad deputy, why don't you..."

"What are you arguing about? The vegetable market?! Shut up! Get over here and roll your name!!"

With the roar of the instructor, more than 300 people shut their mouths together, and there was a nervous automatic adjustment of formation.

Zhou Haifeng was in a team of 30 people, and the instructor called them out rudely.

"Zhou Haifeng!"

"To!"

"Wang Yongming!"

"To!"

"Cheng Yong!"

"To!"

……

"Single army!"

"To!"

A loud voice answered loudly.

Zhou Haifeng was stunned when he heard this, and suddenly turned his head...

Shan Jun, in military uniform and with luggage on his back, stood upright in the queue, like a straight steel gun, full of heroic spirit.The eyes under his military cap looked directly at Zhou Haifeng, facing Zhou Haifeng's shocked gaze, Shan Jun's stern face under the sun was full of arrogance and hardness...

"How did you come??"

The barracks were equipped with luggage, the team was disbanded, and the soldiers were finally able to move freely. Zhou Haifeng went to block the single army without even taking off his rucksack.

"You can come, but I can't?"

Shan Jun adjusted his luggage skillfully, and glanced at Zhou Haifeng's shocked expression.

"Don't act like you've seen a ghost."

When Shan Jun came, he waited to see Zhou Haifeng's reaction, and Zhou Haifeng's reaction was bigger than he thought.

"...What are you doing!" Zhou Haifeng was really shocked, even annoyed.He never thought that Shan Jun would appear here and participate in the devil's selection here!

"Didn't you ask me what to poke when I walked out of that compound? That's why I came. I just wanted to see if I was standing or lying on my stomach when I got out of the door you mentioned."

Shan Jun said lightly.

"But let me declare first, except for the clothes, I got the identity of this soldier. I got the rest, how you got here, I got here, and there is nothing missing in every level."

When Shan Jun walked out of the air-raid shelter that day, he made a decision.

As soon as Zhou Haifeng left, Shan Jun proposed to the old political commissar that he also wanted to be selected.It's not really to be a special soldier, but to experience a rare opportunity to hone, to gain insight and to broaden one's horizons.

"You can go, but since you have gone, don't embarrass me!"

The old political commissar is strict.

"Yes! Guaranteed to complete the task!"
