spn Mongolia, Kulun.

Kulun suburb, Mongolian garrison area, accommodation area for officers and their families.

This is a simple small courtyard. The old courtyard walls are covered with light snow from the previous night. Tall and tall poplar trees grow inside and outside the courtyard. In the ice and snow of Outer Mongolia, these poplars are the ones that can best adapt to the four seasons.

of bad weather.

There is only a simple courtyard house number on the courtyard gate, No. 012.

"Lao Xu, I asked you if you could come and help me. Mother Liu and I are almost overwhelmed with all these things. The little boy will be back soon, so don't miss dinner." said a man in his fifties.

The woman walked into the main room and asked into the study.[

"Women know how to be wordy. You take your time, it's still early, it's only five o'clock, and you haven't finished your lunch yet..." In the room, a middle-aged man with some gray hair on his temples

The soldier was immersed in a document marked top secret. There was a smoke pipe leading to the stove outside the house, but he was still wearing a military coat.

The epaulettes of the military coat are shining gold stars.

This person is none other than Major General Xu Shuzheng, commander of the Mongolian Garrison Region.

Xu Shuzheng actually had more than one main wife, and three young wives, all of whom were married when he was in the northern "government". After he was rescued from death and fled to the southwest, in order to adapt to the new social atmosphere, he took the initiative to place the three folk wives.

After returning to his hometown, he took his wife and children to Mongolia and served as the commander of the Mongolian garrison area.

Three daughters and one son. Although only her son is Mrs. Xu’s biological flesh and blood, Mrs. Xu has treated all the children equally since she came to Mongolia many years ago. She serves Xu Shuzheng and the waiters hired from the army in a safe and orderly manner.

Liu's mother took care of Xu Shuzheng's daily life together.

The eldest son Xu Zhentang got married this year, but has never been married. Instead, because of his longing for the south in his early years, he joined the army and became an Air Force fighter pilot stationed at the Cullen Air Force Base. Because of his excellent flying skills, although he was in the Cullen Air Force

Among the nearly a thousand official and reserve pilots at the base, they are not among the top twenty, but they are firmly in the top fifty, and they are elite pilots.

The thing Xu Zhentang fears most is going home. As soon as he returns home, his old mother will be urging him to get married all day long. You must know that Dao Sui is still an older youth even in today's new society.

And based on his conditions, whether it is appearance, conversation, knowledge or tutoring, he is enough to match any famous lady.

However, under the influence of Xu Shuzheng, Xu Zhentang wanted to make a difference in the army. He went from being an ordinary pilot to an elite pilot, and finally became a fighter squadron leader with the rank of major five years after joining the army. The father of a tiger and the son of a dog.

Xu Zhentang did not rely on his old father's relationship at all. In a republic where integrity and devotion to duty were extremely strict, not to mention his father was a major general, he had to avoid suspicion even if he was a general of the republic.

From time to time, Mrs. Xu knocked on the door of the old man's study. She had to knock on the door even to enter.

Xu Shuzheng put away the secret document he had just read and put it into a briefcase with a password lock. Then he put on his military coat and let her in.

"Old man, my son is stationed in our Culun, but he hasn't been back for half a year. As a father, you don't know how to care. You can't take care of family and national affairs. How can you take care of those military and national affairs." Xu

Madam is a little angry with her old man. Ever since she left the Beiyang government, "Xu

Shuzheng seemed to have been reborn, and her whole person made her feel scared. "Look, do you want to invite Political Commissar Zhu and the others to come over for a party tonight? After the New Year, the daughter of the Zhu family is getting ready to start school again. What a good girl.

Even if you have to study for a graduate degree, it’s still so far away from your mouth, and it’s hard to see this side.”

"Why should a man worry about his wife?" Xu Shuzheng smiled and waved his hand, rejecting his wife's idea, "Today is a special day, let's have a good dinner as a family."

"You old man, "Today is a special day, why don't I know? Forget it, I'll just listen to you and leave." Mrs. Xu said gloomily, and turned to the kitchen again.

After Mrs. Xu went out, Xu Shuzheng opened the door, looked at the white sky in the north, and murmured to himself, "Why don't I want to hold a grandson? That girl from Political Commissar Zhu's family is a very nice person. Hey, family and national affairs are so important."

He Xiao. The Soviets are right in front of us, and it is time for men to fight bravely to kill them."

At five-thirty, a bicycle bell rang outside the yard, and Xu Zhentang came back.

"Xiao Xu is back!" In the guard room of the courtyard, Xu Shuzheng's guard Ou Pingjiang saw Xu Zhentang coming back and quickly opened the door for him.

"Hello, Brother Ou. Dad, Mom, I'm back."

Xu Zhentang smiled and signaled to his father's security guards, then drove into the yard.[

As soon as he came back, the small courtyard was suddenly filled with laughter and laughter, especially Mrs. Xu, who kept chasing her son and asking questions. Occasionally, Mrs. Liu also joined in, and three younger sisters who were still in junior high school and high school also joined in and gathered around.

This big brother makes the whole family happy.

The three girls are very afraid of their father, who is a major general, and they admire their father who is flying in the sky every day. They can confidently tell their classmates that their father is a pilot, but they dare not

He brazenly promoted that his old father was a major general of the People's Army.

Like the early anti-British, anti-French and anti-Japanese heroes in Southwest China, he is one of the national heroes alive today.

"Zhentang, you said you are serious, why haven't you gone home for half a year? It's not like the army doesn't have vacations. Your dad is stubborn, I, I, alas..." Xu Ma will cry when she says it.

The noble lady in the Beiyang period has changed a bit to be the wife of a major general today, but her life is much more comfortable.

After talking for a while, Xu Zhentang said, "Mom, there are new tasks at the base. In order to overfulfill the new tasks and seize all the time to train, we all applied to cancel the six-month leave. Not just me, but our division commander also

take a vacation."

Xu Shuzheng, who was sitting behind his desk, knew that because a large number of J-2 fighter jets were equipped at the Kulum Air Force Base half a year ago, the army was phasing out the J-1 fighter jets while organizing flight and confrontation training for the new aircraft. It was a tight grip.

.Everyone from the aviation division commander at the base to the ordinary pilots who flew these new aircraft took the initiative to cancel their vacations.

Because the People's Army has regulations for family members accompanying the military, many family members of military personnel work, study and live in the garrison area, so they can reunite with their families during normal vacations.

"I see that you and your father are both molded from the same mold. You are so busy that you don't even know where your home is. You..."

"Stop nagging, go out first, I'll talk to Zhentang about some military matters.", "Okay, okay, you guys can chat well, and I'll go cook."

However, Xu Zhentang suddenly said, "Mom, I might not be able to have dinner. I'll leave in a moment."

"What? Why are you in such a hurry?" Mother Xu didn't agree with her son this time. It's okay for her son to not take a vacation for half a year because of training. He just went home on the way and why should he leave immediately? "No, I have to eat whatever I say.

If you can’t leave after dinner, ask your father to call your group leader.”, “Mom, it’s really not possible. There is a discussion meeting tonight, I...”

Xu Shuzheng waved his hand and motioned for his wife to go out first, "We will discuss this matter later. I will make the decision today and eat at home. I will take you to the base tomorrow."

Xu Zhentang was stunned. He didn't expect why his old father was so tough today. The usually most useful "military is in trouble" didn't work today. In fact, the regiment leader allowed him to drop by home for a visit. After all, although the commander *exercises special privileges,

But the entire base is so busy that it would be too much for the son of the commander of the garrison to have sex with the family. Moreover, there will be no flying missions at night, as long as he returns to the unit early in the morning.

He went to the city today to cooperate with an aircraft parts factory. As a pilot representative, he put forward some opinions from a pilot's perspective. He went home on the way, and the team leader specially granted him a night's leave.

You know, "The situation is extremely tense right now, and everyone has canceled their vacations and personal leave and is on standby at the base."

"How is the army lately? Have your flying skills improved? Are you adaptable to the new aircraft?" After closing the door, Xu Shuzheng asked about his son as if he were asking his subordinates.

Xu Zhentang: "Dad, don't worry. The army is very good and I have always been accustomed to it. My flying skills ranked 34th in the last confrontation exercise. The new aircraft has a more scientific and reasonable structure and uses a new engine.

With the new aerodynamic layout, the performance is very strong. In the harsh weather like Outer Mongolia, the combat performance is very little damaged, which is much better than the previous generation aircraft."

"If you were to face a Soviet pilot, would you be sure of victory?" Xu Shuzheng asked with concern. "The war is about to begin. As a father, it would be a lie to say that he is not worried about his son."

"Yes! Mom, she doesn't know, but Dad, you must know that the Soviets have been fighting so hard in the Hudaili River in the north recently. The base has already entered wartime status according to the orders of the security area. Everyone is looking forward to flying the aircraft as soon as possible.

Heading north to join the war. It was my turn to go on a mission the day before yesterday, but I didn't meet the Soviets and I did a lot of shooting.

They returned from the air defense positions on the border." Xu Zhentang said regretfully, "Dad, please don't help mom stop me. I'm 27 years old, and the military is my entire career. A dinner is a small thing.

Combat training and combat discussions are big things. After the fight against the Soviets is over, I will take two days off to spend time with you two."

Xu Shuzheng shook his head, remembering the top-secret order he had just received before leaving get off work, and knew that when tomorrow comes, the plan will begin. This is not an ordinary battle, but a battle with great risks and temptations. The battle and war model may suddenly expand, or there may be great losses. Even Xu Zhentang may be sacrificed in an air battle with the Soviets.

As a major general of the People's Army, he knew very well that the pain caused by such a large-scale war would inevitably require someone to sacrifice, but who could guarantee that the son of a major general would be able to defeat all enemies he encountered?

Maybe it was a coincidental anti-aircraft cannon shot, maybe it was a plane malfunction, or it could be considered shot down...[

"After dinner, I will personally take you to the base tomorrow."

Xu Shuzheng said without any change, he knew that when this huge air raid plan started to be implemented, Zhentang would also take off to fight. A dinner would not be too much.

During dinner, the whole family, including Liu's mother, also sat over. The rules of the Xu family were to be careful with words and deeds when eating, but Xu Shuzheng rarely served his son some food. He saw his wife's eyes welling up with tears, thinking that

The husband finally regained some fatherly love from his cold face.

After dinner, Xu Zhentang watched TV with his three sisters for a while, and then went into the study room with his father. The two father and son had never had such a long conversation, talking about life, the army, career, and ideals.

At the end of the conversation, Xu Shuzheng said, "Zhengtang, no matter what enemy you are going to face, you must move forward. The Soviets are not scary. We have the confidence and strength to defeat them. In a war, the first to be eliminated is

, must be the weak one.

Fight hard, and when the war is over, I will personally help you propose marriage to Political Commissar Zhu.

You kid, you think I don’t know, I even came to me and read it to me about the love letters I wrote to others. What kind of disgusting things are they? “Dear Jiajia, when I am promoted to lieutenant colonel, I will

When I came to propose to you, "Boy, don't embarrass me this time."

Hearing what the old man said, Xu Zhentang's face suddenly turned red, as red as pig liver. He thought to himself, Zhu Jiajia, this kind of letter can also be read to political commissar Zhu. "The two of them are also childhood sweethearts after all; this is really embarrassing.

Throw it into the old man's face.

"Yes, yes, I, I will come together...,..."

The next day, early in the morning, Xu Shuzheng took his son to a remote place at the entrance of the air force base. He straightened his military cap with his own hands, patted his shoulder and encouraged him, "Go, my major, drive your

Fighter, send me a lieutenant colonel and my wife back."

"yes!"

Xu Zhentang stood at attention and saluted, said loudly, and then confidently entered the military camp.

Xu Shuzheng shook his head, returned to the car and headed towards the base.

On the same day, the security area issued an emergency order to all relevant combat troops and units, requiring all units to be prepared for a full-scale battle within two days.
