One Thousand Sixty-Six and One Hundred and Seventy-Eight Fortress Flags

The place where the sentry post was located was surrounded by rolling hills. Zhang Jinglin and Ren Xiaosu followed the sentry along the patrol path, and when they stood on a certain mountain peak, their hearts felt magnificent.

The sentinel said to the two: "Commander, young commander, I will send you here. You can walk 30 kilometers along the mountain road I pointed out, and you will be the next outpost."

Zhang Jinglin and Ren Xiaosu shook hands with the sentry respectively: "Thank you."

The sentinel smiled and said, "It's not hard work."

Zhang Jinglin patted the young sentinel on the shoulder: "How can you not work hard?"

After speaking, they separated from each other.

After going down the hill, Zhang Jinglin said to Ren Xiaosu with emotion: "If conditions permit, I even want to stay with them here for a few more days. Do you know that each outpost here is equipped with a telephone line, and you can call the headquarters of the fortress. At the beginning, the soldiers at the outpost were too lonely, so they always called back, and even reported the loss of sheep. In the morning, the sheep were lost, and the sheep were found in the afternoon, and they never tired of it.”

Ren Xiaosu couldn't laugh or cry, some big outposts here raised a few cattle and sheep, he knew this. It's just that these cattle and sheep cannot be slaughtered, and they can be regarded as the public property of the fortress. The soldiers can only drink some goat milk at most.

Zhang Jinglin continued: "Although this can alleviate the loneliness of the soldiers, you can't be so casual in the face of war. If someone occupies the line and finally leads to the delay in the transmission of information, it will be a troublesome thing, so I later asked them not to fight like this." Called. Then the fort stipulates that if there is no enemy situation, then each outpost can only call back to the fort at one fixed time a week. The soldiers in the outpost are looking forward to this day every day, and then take turns to call back.”

"There are operators in the fort who are in charge of the outpost. There are men and women among the operators. For them, it is lucky to meet a female operator, but it doesn't matter if they meet a man. They can still chat for an hour... ..."

Ren Xiaosu listened silently. During this period of time, he had heard a lot from Da Huyou about the outpost, and he had also heard a lot from Zhang Jinglin.

But what feels the deepest is the loneliness of these Sentinels.

Turning around suddenly, Ren Xiaosu suddenly saw that the sentinel who sent them away was still standing on the mountain peak to salute him, his straight body was like a flagpole.

"They are all the flags of our Fort 178. As long as they are still here, the northwest territory still belongs to our Fort 178," Zhang Jinglin said.

"Use the best time of your life to plant the military flag for the Northwest," Ren Xiaosu said.

Zhang Jinglin sighed: "They are all good young people. If it is not for protecting the home behind them, who would want to go to such a place?"

Saying that, Zhang Jinglin and Ren Xiaosu saluted each other back together, then turned around and continued on their way.

Ren Xiaosu said suddenly: "I seem to have some ideas about the Daxing Northwest 3.0 plan, but I haven't figured out the details yet. I'll let you know when I think about it."

"Okay," Zhang Jinglin said with a smile, "Your version 1.0 and version 2.0 are already surprising enough, and I'm looking forward to your version 3.0."

The scenery in the northwest is different from that in the Central Plains, just because every inch of land here exudes the taste of vastness and loftiness.

Sometimes a dark cloud floats in the sky. One minute the cloud is still far away, and the next moment it has already floated overhead.

But in that dark cloud,

There is actually a huge beam of light penetrating down, the beam of light piercing through the dark clouds, it looks like a big hole has leaked in the sky.

Sometimes, in the evening, the deep red fire clouds like fish scales in the sky are like a magnificent oil painting, and the colors are fascinating.

This kind of strange scenery is hard to see in the Central Plains.

At this time, Ren Xiaosu and the others hadn't gone deep into the wilderness, so they could occasionally see the herds herders grazing, and they could also see the herdsmen galloping past on horseback from afar.

Ren Xiaosu said: "Da Huyou told me that there was a story circulating in the Northwest Army earlier, saying that there was a sentry who had no food in winter, and the mountains were blocked by heavy snow, so supplies could not be transported in, so he had to walk more than 40 kilometers on foot to find a family. The herdsman’s family wanted a bite to eat. As a result, the youngest daughter of the herdsman’s family fell in love with the sentinel and said that she had to marry her before she would be given food. In the end, there was no other way, and the sentinel obeyed.”

The corners of Zhang Jinglin's mouth rose slightly, he should have heard this story before.

Immediately afterwards, Ren Xiaosu said: "After hearing this story, Da Huyou took the initiative to be a sentry, but when he arrived at the sentry, he found out that the herdsmen are all men, and their families are all in the fortress. The story is a lie! "

Zhang Jinglin laughed loudly: "That's a story made up by the old commander to trick everyone into becoming sentries!"

"It's so wicked," Ren Xiaosu also laughed: "But Da Huyou also said later that in fact, he was a sentry for five years, and he regretted it for five years, but if he didn't have these five years, he would regret it for the rest of his life."

At this time, Ren Xiaosu saw a flock of sheep, and he looked around for something.

Zhang Jinglin asked, "What are you looking for?"

"Look for the two sheep I saw yesterday," Ren Xiaosu said, "I didn't see them follow yesterday, but I always feel that there is something wrong with them."

It's just that Ren Xiaosu searched for a long time but couldn't find a clue.

The main reason is that there are hundreds of sheep scattered on the grassy slope, and the sheep are similar in appearance, so it is difficult to identify them.

Ren Xiaosu picked up the big rock again, while Zhang Jinglin sat down on the rock nimbly, enjoying the beautiful scenery leisurely.

After they turned over a small hill and disappeared, suddenly two sheep in the flock broke away from the flock again and chased in the direction they left.

The two sheep looked at each other with lingering fear in each other's hearts.

Just now Ren Xiaosu's eyes searching for them were like knives, which made them tremble with fear, but they couldn't figure it out, is this servant's perception so keen?

The two sheep trotted all the way and continued to watch. Despite their short legs, they ran quite fast.

However, when they turned over the hill that Ren Xiaosu and the others left, they saw Ren Xiaosu staring at them with a smile...

"Are you surprised? Surprised or not?" Ren Xiaosu said with a cheerful smile.

The two sheep were startled, and immediately lowered their heads to eat grass. After eating a few mouthfuls, they raised their heads and bleated twice, looking pure and innocent.

But Ren Xiaosu didn't care about this, he stepped forward like lightning and grabbed a sheep's leg. The caught sheep struggled hard, but no matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't break free.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the other sheep turned around and ran away. Ren Xiaosu did not go to catch him, but smiled at the caught sheep: "Cast yourself!"

As he said that, Ren Xiaosu punched the sheep on the head, knocking him out completely.

Before the sheep fell into a coma, he prayed with his remaining consciousness not to be in the pot when he woke up...
