Chapter 33 Bad news in the army (2)
"Where’s mom and dad?"
Looking at the child’s eager eyes, Joe’s heart was in a daze, and he didn’t know that his father might suddenly disappear because of work. They couldn’t ask, let alone ask, when he would come back until he came back.
"Where’s dad? He promised me to do the puzzle with me yesterday." Xi Bao asked again.
Qiao Xinwei has no way to say, "Dad said he would be back late."
"Ah, it’s going to be late." Xi Bao couldn’t hide his loss. He was not even in the mood for breakfast. He pouted and asked, "Is it impossible to play football in the park?"
Qiao Xinwei pointed to the outside and said, "How to play football in heavy snow? Your cold has just improved. Dad specifically told me not to go out to play."
Xi Bao stubbornly said, "I don’t believe I want my father to tell me personally. Tell me face to face."
"Xi Bao, you don’t trust mom."
"Then I want my father to play with me."
Qiao Xinwei is both resistant and heartbroken. Jiang Hao pampers children all day, so he is closer to him. If he doesn’t see children one day, he will ask her for dissatisfaction and complaints. He patiently advised, "Xi Bao’s father really has something to do. Isn’t it the same for his mother to play with you?"
"But mom is not as smart as dad." Children’s words are taboo.
Qiao Xinyu said very seriously, "Eat up the egg custard or I won’t even show you Qiaohu later."
Xi Bao was even more unhappy and reluctantly picked up the spoon and stirred it around in the bowl. "Hum, dad wouldn’t be so mean to me."
"…" Qiao Xinwei wants to cry. Since Jiang Hao left, she has become blx, but she doesn’t know that Jiang Hao is suffering in hot water at this time.
When Jiang Hao arrived at the army, Xiaofang told him the details. Guo Xueyan volunteered to take part in the actual combat exercise this time. Every year, there are irregular exercises in the army. This is very common. The exercise is in the deep mountains and forests on the Yunnan border. At the end of the exercise, a group of unidentified people suddenly came. I was in the enemy’s dark field for seven consecutive days. I didn’t sleep well. I was exhausted, but the enemy came with advanced weapons and sufficient ammunition.
A platoon led by Guo Xueyan, a total of 34 special forces departments, were ambushed and then brutally strafed by the enemy, and none of them survived.
This incident caused a sensation in China and shocked the world.
The military command department attaches great importance to the personal command of brigade commander Tang, which is the dignity of soldiers and the dignity of the country.
"It is now known that the invasion of our country was an international mercenary organization, and a dozen of them fled into Vietnam after the incident."
"Guo Chief, the new official has been killed, and the position of the head of this regiment will hang this hatred again. This hatred must be reported, otherwise the 34 soldiers who died in vain will not be wronged."
"Hateful, hateful, hateful, this is a provocation to the China army. We will never be able to kill it. This is a national event."
Everyone in the meeting room was furious. You expressed your anger in a word, and brigade commander Tang was also very sad. He looked at sitting in the corner and said nothing. Jiang Hao asked, "What about Jiang Hao? I want to hear your thoughts."
Jiang Hao has been transferred to other jobs, and to put it bluntly, he is an outsider, but informing Jiang Hao to let Jiang Hao participate in the discussion is exactly what brigade commander Tang meant. Jiang Hao is still immersed in deep grief, and his eyes are flushed with anger. He said, "Whoever commits China will be punished far away."
Brigadier Tang angrily said, "Well, that’s exactly what I mean, Jiang Hao. I know you’ve changed jobs, but you still hope you can think about what you can do at this time and what day you should do it. I hope you can give me an answer I want tomorrow."
All eyes were on Jiang Hao and Jiang Hao. The team led by him was the elite of the special forces. Guo Xueyan was once the deputy department of Jiang Hao. Now Guo Xueyan has sacrificed his face. Who else has the ability and qualification to provoke the burden of "comrades-in-arms fighting for revenge and defending the dignity of the motherland"? There is Jiang Hao
There is Jiang Hao …
The meeting was held from 6: 00 to 12: 30 at noon. Everyone was discussing the countermeasures. Will Jiang Hao listen to his comments? He is not qualified to come out of the meeting room now. Brigadier Tang, Jiang Hao’s heavy steps, patted him on the shoulder and asked him to think it over. If Jiang Hao is still in his post today, he can directly order Jiang Hao to change jobs. "Go back and discuss with Jiang Lao and listen to his opinions."
Jiang Hao nodded huskily spit out a word "good"
Find Xiao Fang Jiang Hao in a hurry to ask "Guo Chief, when will they come back"
Xiao Fang said, "A special plane has been sent to transport it. It is planned to come back at one o’clock in the afternoon, but it is hard to say that the capital is snowing."
"Ministry"
"There are too many people. Chief Guo and platoon leader Chen will go back first, and others will come back one after another."
"Have you notified your family?"
"I’ve been informed that Guo’s family members have sent someone to pick them up in the capital, and other family members are distributed in other places, which will probably take only a few days to arrive."
"When is the memorial service?"
"Temporarily arranged for the day after tomorrow"
Jiang Hao silently nodded, took two steps and stopped to look at the watch. It’s past twelve o’clock, so Guo Xueyan will be back soon. He folded back and told him to "appease the family."
"yes, chief"
Xiao Fang respectfully gave a military salute. Jiang Hao felt a throbbing pain in his heart. He didn’t deserve it.
The snow on Nuoda apron has been cleared away. The soldiers are dressed respectfully and solemnly. Jiang Hao’s black suit is very conspicuous in a dark green military uniform. Facing the cold wind, he can vaguely hear faint sobs coming from all sides.
Suddenly, a cry came from behind, and everyone turned to look at it. It was Guo Xueyan’s parents and his wife and daughter who helped each other. The two old people were gray at the temples and fainted directly when they received the news of their son’s death. When they woke up, they insisted on picking him up regardless of bad weather and weak health.
Guo Xueyan’s wife’s face is different from ordinary people’s. She is holding her old mother-in-law while pulling her young daughter. Since then, this family has been supported by her. The depression and calmness of her face makes people feel even more sad.
At the cry of tears, the soldiers could no longer suppress their grief, and both of them sobbed lightly.
Jiang Hao looked at all this quietly. He wondered if he would be as calm and strong as Guo Xueyan’s wife if he accepted this time and unfortunately he would never come back.
At 2: 10, the helicopter circled in the army "saluting", and a thick sound cut across the sky. The soldiers saluted the helicopter uniformly.
The helicopter landed slowly, and the huge cyclone dried the soldiers’ faces and tears, and the loud noise covered up the grief and crying.
The helicopter landed on the ground smoothly, and two coffins were carried out one after another. The soldiers took off their hats and saluted Guo Xueyan’s family and cried all the way.
I can imagine what it would be like to wait until the memorial service, when all the families of the sacrificed soldiers came to the army. Jiang Hao didn’t dare to close his eyes. It was two peas and big tears. His elderly parents gave them to him well, but he returned them to them as cold bodies. His heart was suffering and guilty.
At three o’clock in the afternoon, Xi Bao didn’t wake up. Qiao Xin only woke up and was sleepy. Seeing that Xi Bao was still sleeping soundly, she got up and went upstairs by herself.
The snow stopped completely, and the noise of the city was alleviated after the heavy snow. Qiao Xinwei looked out from the French window and saw that the capital was really a bustling city. Even if it was covered with heavy snow, it could not cover the busy traffic and hurried pedestrians. The rhythm of the capital was not slowed down by the snow.
She chatted in every way, holding the remote control and pressing the volume button to keep the sound to a minimum. At this moment, almost all TV stations are broadcasting the news of the attack on the Yunnan border special forces, and the headline with a sad atmosphere jumped into her eyes.
In an instant, she gave a chill, and her heart suddenly accelerated. She frantically pressed the volume button, but a careless remote controller fell to the ground. She squatted down to pick up the remote controller and her legs were weak. She simply sat on the ground and held the remote controller and rang the volume one by one.
Later, I don’t know how long it took for Xi Bao to rub his eyes and go upstairs. Qiao Xinwei just came to her senses, but her legs had already lost consciousness, as if there were thousands of ants gnawing at her meat.
"Is Mom and Dad back?"
"No … no"
"Why hasn’t dad come back yet?" Xi Bao was unhappy and pursed his lips to help his mother. "Mom, please call dad and ask him to come back soon. I want to eat his chicken legs and shrimp."
Qiao Xinwei struggled to get up and sat down on the sofa. She kept stroking his head with the palm of her hand.
"Mom, did you hear what happened to you?"
