Friday, August 2004, 8.

At 03:30 in the morning, Xu Tao opened his eyes before dawn. Today is the day when Meng Zhan came back from participating in the International Special Forces Competition. It took more than half a month to leave. I clearly know the cruelty of the competition. In 03, because of the military exercise at the end of April and the accidental injury due to the Mongolian war, the Fifth Battalion did not participate in the competition in 4, but I don’t know if it was because it was too popular for the first time or because of various countries. For the emphasis on the competition, in 03, the results of the B military region headed by Shen Jian were not good. They only won a gold medal and even lost the cross medal.

This year, the Military Commission pulled out Mongolian Zhan early and asked the Fifth Battalion Mongolian Zhan to lead the team to participate in the competition. To be honest, Xu Tao was really unwilling at the moment he knew the notice. It can be seen from the video that, unlike the first competition, in the 03 competition, heavy armored vehicles were already patrolling the blocked blockade, which not only increased the difficulty, but also caused certain damage to the participating fighters. Especially the last level, in order to increase the difficulty, barbed wire was even pulled over the big river.

When he saw the game in the videotape, Xu Tao was secretly stunned. No wonder the result did not meet the national requirements. This was the case when participating in the competition for the first time, so the Fifth Battalion would not have achieved such good results, but it also happened that the excellent results made the Military Commission dissatisfied with the results obtained by the B Military Region in the competition.

Xu Tao couldn't tell what it was like in his heart. There was no way to compare events that were not at the same level. At that moment, Xu Tao felt a little uncomfortable. It was always ordinary soldiers like them who suffered hardships. Although they had honor and merit, but And who really sees the hardships of training and dedication of fighters, and the honor is often accompanied by irreparable damage.

Two consecutive accidents in 02 prompted Xu Tao to grow up rapidly, and he was no longer a simple fool in his heart. If Xu Yan's matter hadn't been for the army to come forward, and if Zhang Zhijun hadn't found a back door, then those who waited for him could only suffer. People have always had a deep-rooted fear of meeting officials, and it was even more so when he was in D City. If it weren't for Zhou Xiao, Xu Tao couldn't even imagine what was waiting for Meng Zhan.

After all, the result of Meng Zhan was too serious. In May last year, Xu Tao, who followed Meng Zhan to visit Yu Yang, met Zhou Xiao there. From Zhou Xiao's mouth, Xu Tao knew what the final result of the turmoil was.

First, Liu Jianyang was paralyzed, not only his right hand was completely disabled, but also because of the delay in treatment, the spine after being hit could only lie on the bed forever due to the loss of the spinal cord. Xu Tao did not feel sorry for Liu Jianyang's paralysis. After all, Liu Jianyang is his own step today. One step forward, and then, with the end of the exercise, Shi Hongjun entered the cadre rest due to illness. The Shi Red Army, who was only 60 years old, was jumping and arrogant. For the Red Army at that time, perhaps this result was more uncomfortable than killing him. Where is the cadre resting place?To put it bluntly, it is to take care of military cadres, and to put it bluntly, it is a nursing home, and with the fall of the Red Army, Zhou Aiguo was expelled from the army, all the leaders who were implicated in the incident, and the positions of real power that were vacated one by one. Said that Xu Tao can also imagine what kind of bloody storm it will cause.

Back at the station, Xu Tao was so worried that he couldn't sleep all night. Although Meng Zhan kept comforting him and said that it was over, Xu Tao was just afraid. Who knows what those officials are thinking?Who knows if those in power will find fault, this state lasted for a week, Xu Tao looked thinner, if Zhou Xiao hadn't come, analyzed with Xu Tao carefully and ensured that Meng Zhan would not be involved, Xu Tao felt that I can scare myself to death.

Thinking of this, Xu Tao smiled bitterly. He is a small person. He has never known what privileges are and has never enjoyed them since he was a child. Apart from knowing that he must pay for what he wants to get, he really doesn’t understand and dare not think about those privileges for him. Unrealistic privileges, when encountering such a big event at first, how could there be no idea in my heart, how could I not be afraid in my heart.

Although Xu Tao let go of it slowly following Zhou Xiao's enlightenment, two years have passed since the incident, and Xu Tao still feels scared whenever he thinks about it. For those in power, cleaning them up may be worse than strangling an ant Simple.

The first thought in Xu Tao's mind about the call call requesting Meng Zhan to lead the team was whether those people thought that the matter was over and wanted to plot against Meng Zhan. Xu Tao didn't deny it. It was so cold, and then secretly called Zhou Xiao, and the conspiracy theory in my heart was dispelled by Zhou Xiao's smile and explanation. Although he was laughed at by Meng Zhan later, the cold heart he held was also considered to let go and slowly pick up.

Xu Tao was originally going to participate in this competition, but I don’t know if Xu Tao was unlucky or lucky. During training, he first injured his right foot ligament, then his right foot healed, and his left foot was injured again. Both his left and right feet were injured. Next, after research, Xu Tao was replaced by Zhao Ming.

The moment he heard the news, Xu Tao was in a very low mood. He didn't fight side by side with Meng Zhan, and he didn't go forward with his teammates. Although the deserter was injured, Xu Tao felt that he had become a deserter. After two days of discomfort, Xu Tao thought about it. After all, Xu Tao still hopes that his teammates can win, and if he delays those hard work because of his own health Xu Tao will feel even more uncomfortable for his comrades in training. When he thinks about it, Xu Tao quietly babbles about his little thoughts with Meng Zhan, who is tired and sleeps at home, so that Meng Zhan, who wakes up in the morning to recover his energy, laughs loudly Had a meal.

Thinking of that passionate morning, Xu Tao blushed a little. Even after being together for two years, even after experiencing many times of embarrassing passion, Xu Tao was still not used to it. Still insisting that turning off the lights at night is the time to live a married life, but in the early morning, when the sun shines into the house to do that kind of thing, Xu Tao makes trouble all day long and feels like someone looks like someone.

Thinking in a mess, Xu Tao tossed and turned on the bed, unable to sleep. Although Meng Zhan called back yesterday and said he would be back today, Xu Tao was afraid, afraid that Meng Zhan would be injured, and his comrades who participated in the competition would be injured. He really couldn't lie down. Xu Tao got up, put on his clothes, tidied up the quilt, walked out of the room, went directly to the bathroom, brushed his teeth and washed his face, and after filling half a bucket of water, Xu Tao began to tidy up the house. I was studying in the college, and my home was a bit messy. Xu Tao didn't want Meng Zhan to see a messy room when he came home.

Plastering, sweeping, mopping upstairs and downstairs, after all the work was done, Xu Tao looked at the time, and it was only 05:30. Xu Tao wiped the sweat from his forehead, took the bucket after changing the water, and wiped the glass. After a while, I finally cleaned all the glass in the house at seven o'clock, and even swept the yard.

After washing his face again and taking a bite of breakfast, Xu Tao couldn't stay at home anymore, changed into clean clothes, locked the door, turned and left the house, and went directly to the health team.

As soon as he entered the team, Xu Tao saw Cui Yanping walking towards him. Xu Tao smiled, "What are you doing? It's early in the morning."

Cui Yanping walked quickly to Xu Tao's side, "New medicines are in today. I'll go to the door to see if the medicines are here. By the way, when will Zhao Ming and the others come back?"

The smile on Xu Tao's face paused slightly, "It's noon, by the way, what medicine did you take?"

Cui Yanping shook his head, "I didn't say anything, just wait and see." After speaking, he took Xu Tao to the gate and stood at the gate of the health team. Liberation drove in, Xu Tao and Cui Yanping moved the medicines into the warehouse with the help of the soldiers who delivered the medicines, and after clearing them lightly, they carefully watched the new batch of medicines and equipment.

After the work was done, he was sweating all over, but Xu Tao still felt that he was in a state of confusion. After washing his face, Xu Tao said hello to Cui Yanping, and rushed to Zhou Wei's office. Xu Tao found that he would be in a mess when he was free. Thinking about it, in order not to let himself think about it, Xu Tao decided to go to Zhou Wei and encourage Zhou Wei to leave early.

And when Xu Tao was looking for Li Shukun, Li Shukun was also in contact with the General Hospital of the Military Region. The 12 people who participated in the competition this time were much worse than those who participated in the competition for the first time. Although the results were the same, 7 people were injured. Health worker Zhao Ming was seriously injured, Meng Zhan had a fractured left arm, scout Yu Liang was seriously injured, sniper Tang Weihua had a leg fracture, combat Sun Wu was seriously injured, and combat Zhang Ruiwu was seriously injured.

When receiving the call from Zhou Wei, Li Shukun felt his head buzzing, especially knowing that the cause of the serious injury was that Li Shukun wanted to scold his mother angrily. When he finally passed the level, in order to increase the difficulty, he actually loaded live ammunition, and it was a helicopter. Support, f*cking bastard, shortening the time and increasing the difficulty, Li Shukun wants to slap the table angrily as long as he thinks of this result.

After urgently contacting the General Hospital to pick up the plane at [-] o'clock, Li Shukun hung up the phone after thinking about it, then called the health team, asking the health team to send some health workers, hung up the phone again, and there was a knock on the door, Li Shukun yelled, "Come in."

Xu Tao opened the door with a faint smile and came in, seeing the anger on Xu Tao and Li Shukun's face paused slightly, Xu Tao didn't know that Meng Zhan was injured, Zhou Wei had quietly communicated with Li Shukun as the instructor about Xu Tao and Meng Zhan's matter, Although he disagreed, Li Shukun didn't say much. The actual situation in Wuying made Li Shukun unable to blame whether their relationship was right or wrong. Even he himself was divorced, so what else could he say?Finding a girl, the result may not be better than now. Since the two of them didn't see each other in the open, Li Shukun held the same idea as Zhou Wei and pretended not to know.

The anger and worry on Li Shukun's face made Xu Tao's heart skip a beat, an ominous premonition arose in his heart, and even the smile on his face froze, "Instructor, is something wrong?"

Xu Tao's tentative tone was full of anxiety, Li Shukun sighed secretly, and nodded helplessly, "Sit down, Zhao Ming was seriously injured by the bullet, Meng Zhan's arm was broken, Yu Liang was seriously injured, Sun Wu was seriously injured, Zhang Ruiwu was seriously injured, Tang Weihua suffered a fracture .”

Li Shukun's answer made Xu Tao's brain slam like a frying pan, his heart was also beating suddenly, and a layer of sweat soon appeared on his forehead. Xu Tao's sudden change of face made Li Shukun's heavy mood even more depressed. "Xu Tao, sit down."

After speaking, he pulled Xu Tao, who was stupid, to sit on the sofa. After a while, Xu Tao forcibly suppressed the heartache that seemed to be split by someone with gravity. He looked at Li Shukun with a pale face, "Instructor, why...?"

Xu Tao's trembling lips and pale face made Li Shukun feel sad suddenly. It's no wonder that no one is married to them, no wonder they can't bear it if they are girls. Who can bear a life like this?Not to mention life and death, the salary they earn is not enough for a big meal, no wonder the common people say that they are stupid soldiers, aren't they just stupid soldiers?Rubbing the painful forehead, Li Shukun pulled the corners of his mouth and forced a smile, "Although the injuries are serious, they are not life-threatening."

Xu Tao nodded graciously, and kept muttering, "It's okay, it's okay, as long as you have your life, you can have your life."

Xu Tao's extreme request made Li Shukun burst into tears. He stood up and pressed Xu Tao's shoulder hard, "Calm down, let's go to the airport right away."

Xu Tao agreed with a hey, as if he didn't hear what Li Shukun said, he was still muttering, suddenly stood up, stumbled and ran out, muttering "as long as you have life."

Xu Tao's flustered Xu Tao's words made Li Shukun wipe his face vigorously, strode out of the office and went downstairs, saw a few health guards rushing over, Li Shukun didn't say a word, just explained, and took a few people to board the building. On the jeep to the airport.

Along the way, Xu Tao, who forced himself to calm down, held his hands firmly to suppress the desire/desire to tremble, pursed his lips tightly, stared at the front, and kept saying in his heart to hurry up and hurry up.

At [-]:[-], the jeep drove into the gate of the airport in the military area. Before the car stopped, Xu Tao pulled the door and jumped out of the car, rushed into the airport, and waited anxiously.

As the time passed, Xu Tao's face became paler and his lips lost all color. Not to mention Xu Tao, even the health workers who came with him also looked extremely bad. Knowing the news, the worry in his heart is It is beyond words, those are not others, those are life and death friends who fought side by side.

At twelve o'clock sharp, the plane landed at the airport of the S Military Region. As the plane landed, there were emergency personnel from the General Hospital of the Military Region rushing onto the plane. Xu Tao and others did not rush onto the plane, but were stopped under the plane. When Zhao Ming was lifted off the plane by a stretcher, Xu Tao's eyes were moist. Zhao Ming on the stretcher made all the pick-up personnel of the Fifth Battalion present red-eyed and rushed to Zhao Ming's side. , the body under the sheet heaved very weakly. If it wasn't for the oxygen and the slightly opened eyes after getting off the plane, everyone would think that Zhao Ming had died.

One after another, the wounded soldiers who got off the plane made the anxious eyes of the fifth battalion health worker and Li Shukun who came to pick up the plane bloodshot. When Xu Tao finally saw Meng Zhan walking off the plane with his arms hanging, he staggered. With trembling lips, he looked at the pale and unshaven Meng Zhan, and with blurred eyes, he looked at Meng Zhan who got off the plane step by step. Watching Meng Zhan walk over slowly.

Seeing Xu Tao's Meng Zhan from the moment he stepped out of the hatch, his heart trembled violently, looking at his lover greedily, up and down carefully, as if he couldn't get enough of it, even the short boarding stairs It seems to have grown a lot, step by step approaching, the lover's pale face, trembling bloodless lips, tearful eyes made Meng Zhan's eye sockets slightly red, the moment the shell exploded, Meng Zhan's heart was the first Knowing what fear is for the first time, he is afraid that he will not guard Xu Tao as he promised, and walk slowly with Xu Tao. Even the severe pain made Meng Zhan smile, because Meng Zhan knew that it was a proof of life.

Walking to Xu Tao step by step, standing in front of Xu Tao, Meng Zhan smiled with red eyes, "I'm back."

The simple four words made Xu Tao cry. Regardless of whether he was depressed or not, he hugged Meng Zhan and muttered, "I'm back, I'm back."

Xu Tao's cries and murmurs, and Meng Zhan's red eyes made the people of Wuying turn around together and secretly wipe away the tears that poured out. Comrades who had met life and death, and confidants who fought side by side, returned to the motherland covered with scars. , They don't want to tell how much hardship they have paid, they don't want to express the pain and pain suppressed in their hearts, the price, how much did the bloody Honor Fifth Battalion pay?The tombstones of martyrs all over the mountain are the price paid by the Fifth Battalion.

It took a long time for Meng Zhan to suppress the excitement and sourness in his heart, patted Xu Tao's back, and pushed it away gently. Zhan's first smile, "Meng Zhan, welcome home."

"Go home." Those who picked up the plane and those who came back from the competition shouted out their hearts together, yes, they went home, returned to the motherland, and returned to the S military region that they forged with blood and tears.
