A jeep gallops across the Gobi Desert. The scorching sun is scorching, and the Gobi Desert seems to be burning in September. This was the summer of 1951, a very ordinary day.Two hours ago, Luo Zhengxiong suddenly received an order to rush to the division headquarters to accept the appointment. appointment?Luo Zhengxiong, who was talking with Jiang Wanyin in the low bungalow of the Fourteenth Regiment, looked puzzled. He was no longer a Predator of the Great Army, let alone the head of the Fourteenth Regiment.He has already taken off his military uniform, and soon he will leave this vast Gobi with Jiang Wanyin who came to pick him up, leave this frontier land that makes people in the mainland feel creepy, and go to a county called Wangshui to serve as the county magistrate.Wangshui is really beautiful, with green mountains and green waters, fertile land and strong cattle. More importantly, Wangshui is Jiang Wanyin's hometown.As soon as the democrat Jiang Mohan heard the news, he brought his daughter Jiang Wanyin to rush here, and hired five-humped camels and four horses, saying that he wanted to use this special method to take him, a hero, to Wangshui.

"The folks in Wangshui are looking forward to you, Battalion Commander Luo." Jiang Mohan said in his full baritone voice, shaking his beard.Compared with six years ago, Jiang Mohan looked a little older, but his complexion was much better than when Wangshui was liberated six years ago.This old master, who devoted his whole life to the educational cause in his hometown Wangshui, was not at all pedantic at the moment. He held Luo Zhengxiong's hand and told him about the series of changes that had taken place there after the sharp knife camp left Wangshui. Including the construction of the People's School.

"Okay, now the people are the masters of the country. If you go, you will definitely accomplish a lot." When the two were talking, 18-year-old Jiang Wanyin stood on the side reservedly, her almond eyes sneaked over from time to time, and after a glance, they quickly moved away again, a shy red cloud flew out of her fair cheeks from time to time.It's really a girl's 18th change, the more she changes, the better she looks.In Luo Zhengxiong's mind, Jiang Wanyin was still stuck on the little girl six years ago with her bangs cut and two braids, who was in his arms at night and wrapped around him telling stories.Unexpectedly, in the past six years, she has grown so dazzlingly that one's heart beats at a glance.Luo Zhengxiong, who claims to have experienced countless times of bullets and bullets, has been forged by the flames of revolution so that he is not afraid of swords and guns, and he is not shocked by wind and rain. In front of eighteen-year-old Jiang Wanyin, he showed a guilty conscience for the first time.The two of them didn't talk much, but every sentence seemed to be wrapped in a strange smell.No wonder, the purpose of Jiang Mohan's visit this time is to marry his daughter Jiang Wanyin to Luo Zhengxiong. According to him, this is called a hero matching a beauty, which is very suitable.

"County Luo, no, I still call you Commander Luo Yingying. Back then, I blamed me for being blind and not treating heroes as heroes. This time is different. I must use the red sedan chair to carry you to Wangshui, and let those in Wangshui follow me. Look at those who made comments, I, Jiang Mohan, respect heroes more than anyone else." Jiang Mohan was telling the truth. Back then, when Luo Zhengxiong went to his house, he disguised himself as a fortune teller.At first, Jiang Mohan was very disgusted with this young man. He did something wrong and wanted to use these ghosts and gods to deceive people.In a rage, he drove Luo Zhengxiong out.If it weren't for Lao Huang, the underground leader of the party organization, to do his work, probably, Luo Zhengxiong's fate with him would have stopped there.Later, although I didn't feel so disgusted, I still looked down on this poor scholar who came in and out mysteriously all day long wearing a satchel.According to his Jiang Mohan's principles, poor people cannot be short-sighted, and a scholar with a good face should do some serious work, even if he goes to teach in the school he runs.Luo Zhengxiong rejected him, claiming that he was comfortable with this bowl of food, and the people who asked him for advice or divination were all rich people or high-ranking officials of the Kuomintang.One sentence made Jiang Mohan ignore him for several days, and he refused to let his daughter Jiang Wanyin into his room, for fear that this charlatan would teach her daughter badly.Unexpectedly, when the People's Liberation Army attacked the city, Luo Zhengxiong transformed into the commander of the Sharp Sword Battalion.During those days when he was in the Jiang family, he was not originally a fortune-telling or a psychic, but was ordered to break into the enemy's interior and instigate rebellion.With his unremitting efforts, the 27th and 28th regiments of the miscellaneous army guarding Wangshui County defected one after another, voluntarily abandoning the city and surrendering, leaving the stubborn 22nd regiment.The regiment is a direct descendant of Chiang Kai-shek, known as the Desperate Journey.Luo Zhengxiong adopted the tactic of luring the enemy out of the city, and lured the 22nd Regiment to the Black Wind Valley, 20 miles outside Wangshui City, and the two sides launched a bloody battle.The battle lasted for seven days and seven nights. Relying on the help of the underground armed forces and the secret support of the progressive people, the Jiandao Battalion successfully wiped out a main force regiment of the enemy with the strength of a battalion, and captured the regiment leader Hu Daganzi alive.Wangshui was liberated without firing a single shot in the city.Since then, Luo Zhengxiong has become a well-known hero. Some progressives in Wangshui took the initiative to write to the relevant parties after the founding of the People's Republic of China, requesting that Luo Zhengxiong, who has both civil and military skills, return to Wangshui to serve as the chief executive of Wangshui.It's a pity that at that time, the Sharp Knife Battalion had to march westward first, all the way to Xinjiang. Before Jiang Mohan had time to apologize to Luo Zhengxiong, Luo Zhengxiong had already embarked on the journey westward.

The democrat Jiang Mohan is a stubborn person. Over the years, he has been inquiring about Luo Zhengxiong. He first heard that he had made great contributions in Xinjiang. .According to it, three more rebellions were successfully quelled, and he made great military exploits for defending the fruits of the frontier revolution.Later, when I heard that the Xinjiang Corps was going to be restructured as a whole, and that the soldiers were going to take off their military uniforms, cultivate and defend the frontier, and stick to the frontier for the rest of their lives, Jiang Mohan was in a hurry. He kept running around and calling, and through layers of connections, he insisted on beating the commander. In Wang Zhen's hands, this tiger general is about to arrive in Wangshui.Of course, it's not just Jiang Mohan's love of talents, there may be something more secret, but Jiang Mohan doesn't say it himself.Luo Zhengxiong was unaware of all this.When the superior notified him of his transfer to a local area, he simply told him that the whole country is now in the period of socialist construction, and that a general like him is needed everywhere. If he is to go to Wangshui, he must maintain the glorious tradition and fine style of a soldier. Lead the people of Wangshui to fight against the sky and the earth to build a new socialist Wangshui.

Luo Zhengxiong himself has never said anything about the organization's arrangements. He is used to obedience, and he is also used to rediscovering himself from obedience.He does it wherever he goes, and deep down, he still prefers Wangshui.So he happily agreed.Unexpectedly, just as he was about to pack up and leave the Great Gobi, he suddenly received such a strange order. Don't you want me to go?Luo Zhengxiong who was sitting in the car thought so. The Great Gobi in September is the hottest time of the year. Its temper is far more intense than that of a man, dozens or hundreds of times.Not long after the car was on the road, it was steamed by the heat wave and couldn't sit still.Luo Zhengxiong asked the driver to stop and took off the tarpaulin. The wind cleared, but the vicious sun soon made his skin peel.Luo Zhengxiong cursed something ugly and urged the driver to drive faster.When the car drove out of Baibantan and jumped onto the No. 2 line, Luo Zhengxiong saw a group of gazelles, about fifty or sixty, clustered together, putting their heads on each other's crotches, heading towards Tianshan Mountain.Baibantan used to be a place where gazelles haunted. When Luo Zhengxiong and others first entered the Great Gobi, they were often surrounded by groups of gazelles.Gazelles don't hurt people, but if you hurt them, they will wait for an opportunity to retaliate.Luo Zhengxiong and the others had the experience of being besieged by thousands of yellow sheep for one night. It was four years ago on the way to chase down the rebel Wurazbai. offerings.After that time, Luo Zhengxiong understood that the first thing he had to learn when fighting in the deserted Gobi was how to get along with these wild species.

When it was dark, Luo Zhengxiong and the others entered the Yanqi Basin. Under the night, Yanqi was as beautiful as a virgin. In the distance, the vast Bosten Lake shone with crystal light.In normal times, Luo Zhengxiong would definitely tell the driver to slow down. He likes to stand in the dark, staring at the mysterious Bosten Lake in a daze.But this time, his heart is more anxious than the stars that are eager to burst out of the sky.Jiang Mohan's father and daughter are still waiting in the low bungalow in Dasha Lake. There is no important change on the division's side. Sure enough, as soon as he entered the division headquarters, Luo Zhengxiong heard the news that his order to change jobs had been withdrawn, and what awaited him would be a arduous and glorious task.

"Thinking about it, you are the most suitable." Tong Tieshan, political commissar of the division, said. Considering the complexity of this appointment, division commander Liu Zhenhai first asked the political commissar to do some work with Luo Zhengxiong in private to eliminate any possible knots in his mind. After listening to the political commissar's words, Luo Zhengxiong bowed his head and remained silent.This decision was too unexpected. If it had been half a month ago, he might have accepted it with pleasure, but now that he was ready to go to Wangshui, he was suddenly stopped back, and the first to bear the brunt was to ask him to be the head of the special second regiment. .This is a role that is even more difficult than charging into battle during the war——

"Commissioner, can you...?" After thinking for a long time, Luo Zhengxiong hesitated. "Why, are you timid? You, Luo Zhengxiong, are the most courageous in the whole division. Back then, the old commander praised you as a sharp knife that will always stick in the enemy's heart. Could it be that the wind in the Gobi Desert blows your heart? Have to be shaken?" Political commissar Tong Tieshan was not a few years older than Luo Zhengxiong, and they were both from Gansu, so when they talked, they naturally became more peaceful. "I want to..." Luo Zhengxiong still hesitated, not knowing how to explain it to Tong Tieshan.

"What are you thinking about? Don't you really miss that Jiang Wanyin? Let me tell you, as a soldier, you must not let a lesbian hold your heart. Although that Jiang Wanyin is young and beautiful, but you are a soldier. The first thing you must obey is first Military orders. If you really want to see her, the organization can come forward and let her stay. However, if she delays the work, I will not spare you." "No, no," Luo Zhengxiong hurriedly shook his head, his hesitation had nothing to do with Jiang Wanyin, "He's only so old, don't think about it."

"It's not that I thought, when did you, Luo Zhengxiong, hesitate, why did Jiang Wanyin appear, and you became a mother-in-law. I just ask you, obey or not?" When forced by the political commissar, Luo Zhengxiong had no way out, straightened his body, and replied firmly: "Obey!" "Okay!" Political commissar Tong Tieshan smiled, with a few approvals in his eyes, "I knew that you, Luo Zhengxiong, would not disappoint the division. Come, come with me to see the division commander." The order to form the Special Second Regiment was an urgent order received by the division headquarters three days ago. On the evening of August 20th, the Special First Regiment, which was responsible for the frontier surveying and mapping tasks of the Corps, encountered a strong black storm in the Takla Desert. The biggest black storm that Xinjiang has encountered in the past 30 years lasted for three days and three nights, destroying countless fertile fields, and threatening villages and military bases along the desert to varying degrees.It has been nearly 20 days since the storm, and the lives and deaths of the officers and soldiers of the Special First Regiment are still uncertain. The headquarters estimated that the possibility of the soldiers surviving is not high. It's too easy for a human life.When a black wind blows up, groups of camels can be blown away, let alone people.Judging from the fact that the three jeeps were torn to pieces by the wind and couldn't be put together, the place where the group stayed overnight was right in the center of the storm.And his logistics troops just walked to the bank of the Tarim River.If the Tarim River swallowed up people, it would not be able to fill it with a few hundred people. I am afraid that even if the entire regiment was thrown in, it would not be able to fill its stomach. However, the construction task of the Corps was set at the beginning of the year. The large-scale land reclamation team will enter the desert Gobi, and the frontier surveying and mapping work cannot be stopped for a moment. Then the headquarters ordered the urgent formation of the Special Second Regiment to take over the mission of the Special First Regiment. . "We have never competed for the first division to form the special first regiment. This time, the headquarters entrusted our division with the sacred mission of forming the second regiment. This is a high degree of trust in our division." Political commissar Tong Tieshan escaped from the shadow of an accident in the first regiment Come out and speak with passion. Luo Zhengxiong's heart suddenly became heavy. He formed the Second Special Regiment and went to the forefront. The test will no longer be a person's wisdom and courage, but whether the whole regiment can be used to cultivate and guard the border in the harsh and cruel natural environment. Great dreams become reality. Five days later, another team also set off from Dihua.Sitting on the hump and walking in the front is political commissar Yu Hai. According to the order of the division headquarters, Yu Hai and Luo Zhengxiong split into two groups, starting from Dihua and Hongshawo respectively, and meeting up at Honghaizi, the place of death, a week later.The reason why the division decided to choose Honghaizi as the first stop was to test whether this newly formed team could persist in the harsh desert.The present is no better than in the past. During the war, no matter how difficult and dangerous the situation is, as long as there is an enemy, every soldier can rush to the forefront.Right now, the dawn of peace is spreading across the land, and everyone's hearts are relaxed to varying degrees. Whether they can withstand the second test has become the only criterion for the division to evaluate this special force.Moreover, the origin of this team is complicated. Some of them have never worn military uniforms at all, and they don't know what hardship is like.With the deepening of the Corps' work, there will be a large number of fresh blood added to it. Whether they can lead this special journey well is the biggest test for the two of Luo Yu. Under the scorching sun, political commissar Yu Hai's face was a little gloomy, even a little depressed.He is in his thirties, not tall, but strong, with a dark face that is rarely stained with smiles, and a pair of eyes that are always thinking, always revealing an incomprehensible light.He joined the army at the age of sixteen, fought countless beautiful battles, and made a lot of military exploits. During the Anti-Japanese War, he studied at the Anti-Japanese Military and Political University for a year. Among the officers and soldiers who entered Xinjiang, he was considered a scholar.This time, Liu Zhenhai and Tong Tieshan had put in a lot of painstaking efforts to select him to the Special Second Regiment. Luo Zhengxiong was good in other aspects, but his temper was too violent, he would punish others corporal punishment, and he even liked to talk.After all, the Special Second Regiment is not a wartime corps, and its mission is far more important than that of a sharp knife regiment in wartime. Every move will be related to the overall situation of the Corps.After discussing with Tong Tieshan, Liu Zhenhai and Tong Tieshan decided to let go of the report on Yu Hai's promotion to the second division's deputy division commander, and send him to Luo Zhengxiong's side to build up this new era of special forces. For this appointment, Yu Hai himself has a grudge, but he will not tell his true thoughts. This man in his thirties from northern Shaanxi still behaves optimistically and firmly in front of the teacher and the political commissar of the teacher. When he walked out of the gate of the division headquarters, his face darkened.This time, the yin was obviously emotional, especially when he saw the first batch of elite soldiers sent to him by the division headquarters, his two frowns became tighter. On the desert scorched by the scorching sun, a 30-humped camel was drawn word by word. This is a 30-humped male camel bought by the logistics department from a well-known local camel team. Its endurance and walking speed are top-notch. .But the one sitting on the camel made Yu Hai sigh.In addition to the two guides and four support soldiers, if Yu Hai were to choose the rest, he might not be able to pick any of them.Especially the dwarf camel in the middle is like an embroidered pillow! His name is Wan Yue, twenty-five years old, recruited from Dihua after the liberation of Xinjiang, it is said that he is good at mathematics and can play with many instruments.Teacher Liu Zhenhai introduced her to Yu Hai as if she was a treasure, and repeatedly emphasized that no matter what the situation is, the most important thing is to ensure Wan Yue's safety.Yu Hai chuckled at that time, how could such a weak woman be safe in the Gobi desert?After Wan Yue came under his command, within a few days, he discovered that this woman was not only pampered, but also had an arrogant personality, indifferent and taciturn, making it extremely difficult to get along with others.No, the other female soldiers on the hump were talking and laughing, and they were surprised to see everything. She was the only one with a cold face and raised eyebrows. Cold and proud.Yu Hai has been a political commissar for many years, and he is most afraid of dealing with female soldiers, especially female soldiers with personality.He really didn't understand why the division sent him so many female soldiers, and why did they send such a cold beauty! The camel caravan walked westward slowly, the sun at noon was so scorching that people dared not look up, but they dared not stop.Walking in the desert, whether you are a human or a hunchback, you have to work hard. If you slack off a little, the heat wave will melt you away in no time.Amidst the tinkling of camel bells, the Taklamakan Desert was like a magic net spreading all over the sky, and the team was hidden in a blink of an eye. Luo Zhengxiong and the others arrived a few days earlier than Yu Hai. The evening wind is rustling, and the desert that has been noisy all day is gradually quiet, the last smear of red glow has faded from the sky, and the sand dunes smeared by the sunset glow present a rare tranquility. This is the beginning of night, and between day and night, the desert has a moment of respite. Luo Zhengxiong didn't dare to let everyone rest, he had to dig the nest before the desert unleashed its power.More than forty fighters were divided into three groups, and one group was led by him to collect firewood in the nearby sandthorn bushes.A group led by the second battalion commander Zhang Xiaotian rushed to dig the nest.The other group is the cooking class, and they set up tents and set up pots in the camp.After traveling for four days and three nights, the first meal in the desert should be memorable.Unexpectedly, as soon as the stove was set up and the first firewood was lit, the loud northwest wind came.The wind came without any warning. Just now, the surrounding fields were still quiet, and the sand was lifted up, but it could fall vertically. In a blink of an eye, the northwest wind rolled the sand and roared.The soldiers who entered the desert for four days and three nights did not show panic, but habitually turned up their collars, retracted their necks, and bowed their bodies to grab things in the leeward place.Luo Zhengxiong brought a total of thirteen camels and three horses.What was immediately carried was the materials and instruments given by the division headquarters.Before entering the great desert, the division commander Liu Zhenhai called him again and told him the mission and importance of this expedition.The Takla Desert is known as the Sea of ​​Death. Back then, the Fifth Division and the Fifteenth Regiment crossed the desert on foot. With extraordinary perseverance and unimaginable speed, they arrived at Hotan before the Kuomintang reactionaries rebelled, smashing the enemy's rebellion plot in one fell swoop. A great feat in human history has been accomplished.This time they entered the great desert to map out important topographical maps of the great desert, including dried up lakes, ruins of abandoned cities, and oil fields and mines.Completely conquering the Takla Desert is the first strategic goal established by the Corps Command. Now that the 100,000 troops are about to march into the Gobi Desert, it is very important to have first-hand topographical and geological data. "You must be firm in your beliefs, and you will step out a road in the vast Gobi like an iron camel. Are you confident?" Liu Zhenhai suddenly stared at him and asked. "Yes!" Luo Zhengxiong snapped to attention, "Please rest assured, Chief!" Liu Zhenhai slapped him heavily on the shoulder: "Zhengxiong, it's up to you." In private, they are more like brothers. The wind is still roaring, wave after wave, this is a kind of wind called "iron broom", it is not common, but it is not terrible.It's like someone took a huge iron broom and swept the world.When the wind hits your body, it feels like iron brushing against you. Luo Zhengxiong has experienced it more than once.Unexpectedly, the "iron broom" greeted them as soon as they arrived in Honghaizi, so let everyone experience the cruelty of this expedition in advance.Luo Zhengxiong put away his thoughts and ran back to the camp from the sandthorn bushes.The Second Battalion Commander Zhang Xiaotian's men were braving the strong wind, struggling to dig the nest.Luo Zhengxiong jumped down, feeling that the nest was a little smaller, and said, "Go to the left and dig three more steps, such a small field can be filled with sand in one go." Zhang Xiaotian rolled his hands into a trumpet and shouted into his ear "This is where the female soldiers live, they don't like to be big." "What female soldiers and male soldiers, when they get here, they are all sand wolves!" Shouting, he grabbed the shovel and dug to the left.At this time, some soldiers ran over and said that Du Lili was crying, and they couldn't persuade her.Luo Zhengxiong cursed, "What time is this? I still have time to cry. Bring her here." The soldiers led the order and left. Luo Zhengxiong was thinking about how to deal with Du Lili. Second Battalion Commander Zhang Xiaotian yelled into his ear. , "Du Lili is a recruit, don't scare her." Only then did Luo Zhengxiong realize that he had made another mistake just now.This time the division gave him part, half of which were recruits who had not yet been trained. He was assigned to the Special Second Regiment when he first arrived in the army. The division commander Liu Zhenhai repeatedly emphasized that he must pay attention to his work style and never play abusive temper again. "Well, you go to work. If she dares to cry again, she will be sent back immediately by the guide." Second Battalion Commander Zhang Xiaotian crawled out of the nest and ran south, but Luo Zhengxiong suddenly threw away the shovel and nestled in the nest alone. It was stuffy in the deep nest. To be honest, Luo Zhengxiong had no idea about this expedition, especially after seeing the new recruits given to him by the division department, he lost confidence even more.How can this be considered a soldier?Although not all the soldiers in Luo Zhengxiong's heart were tall and strong, they could at least stand like a tree, or together they would form a mountain.Soldiers come to block, soil comes to cover water, Luo Zhengxiong has never felt that there is a river that cannot be crossed, the reason is that he chooses soldiers first when fighting a war, and chooses an axe first when chopping wood.But this time, the division headquarter gave him a hand, and he was not allowed to choose, and he would not be allowed to order. They shoved him to a bunch of flamboyant men and women like a novelty, and said they were all intellectuals.Can intellectuals fight wars and endure hardships?joke!As for this Du Lili, Luo Zhengxiong didn't like her at first sight.The moment she jumped off the camel, Luo Zhengxiong thought she was a literary soldier who came to condolences from the army, but when he saw it again, it was not like, a literary soldier walked like a literary soldier, unlike her, he looked left and right , Three states in one step, just like a new daughter-in-law entering her husband's house, nothing new.After finally walking in front of Luo Zhengxiong, he didn't give a report, and he didn't show respect, so he asked stupidly: "Are you doing revolution here?" Luo Zhengxiong saluted her with a snap: "Yes!" She was so scared that she took a few steps back, and suddenly her face was full of laughter, "You are on guard, hehe, I heard that all soldiers on guard are like this." After laughing, before Luo Zhengxiong could criticize her, she rushed into the courtyard I went to see the flowers. The small courtyard of the regiment headquarters is full of flowers of various colors. This is the idea of ​​Zhang Xiaotian, the commander of the second battalion. Luo Zhengxiong hates these flowers and plants the most. Zhang Xiaotian said that this can enrich everyone's life and boost morale.Luo Zhengxiong scolded in his heart: "Encourage a fart! Relying on flowers and grass, can it be called morale if it is inspired?" But he said: "Okay, I will entrust this task to you. If something happens, I will not spare you." The thing didn't come out, but the flowers in this courtyard were blooming, and Luo Zhengxiong felt an itch in his heart, and couldn't help but want to touch or smell it, but he resisted it, and didn't move his footsteps even once. Send to the garden. Under the bright summer sun, Luo Zhengxiong stared at Du Lili's back for a moment, then suddenly woke up and shouted: "Battlemaster Zhang!" Battalion Commander Zhang, who was giving a lecture to the recruits who reported the first day in the other half of the courtyard, rushed over after hearing the sound. Ask for instructions.Luo Zhengxiong suddenly said in a very abnormal tone, "What's that girl's name?" Zhang Yingchang turned around and took a look at Du Lili. Du Lili had already covered most of her body in the flower group. I don't know whether she adorned the flower group or the flower group reflected her. There was a rare light in Zhang Yingchang's eyes. Light after being stimulated by an unexpected object. "Reporting to the head of the regiment, her name is Du Lili, and she is a new intelligence officer from the division headquarters." "Information soldiers?" Luo Zhengxiong was very puzzled. What did the division department do for him? It wasn't to quell the rebellion, nor was it to siege the city.Besides, just such a little girl who is more delicate than Hua can be an intelligence soldier? "She was brought here in a fit of rage by the political commissar," Battalion Commander Zhang whispered. "Oh?" Luo Zhengxiong stared at Battalion Commander Zhang vigilantly, and Battalion Commander Zhang obviously meant something when he said this. Recently, such things happened one after another, which made the cadres at the lower level of Dough Battalion both surprised and frightened.Everyone was looking forward to the sudden dispatch of a few beautiful female soldiers from the division headquarters, but when they did come, they couldn't figure out the depth.Could it be this little girl?Luo Zhengxiong couldn't help thinking about it for a while, but this little girl didn't look like a broken soldier who was bombarded by the division.Luo Zhengxiong had an idea, and ordered: "Take her to train immediately, double the amount of training compared to others." "Yes!" Second Battalion Commander Zhang Xiaotian didn't expect Luo Zhengxiong to give such an order. After saluting, he walked towards Du Lili, "Recruit Du Lili obeys the order and returns to the team within three minutes." Du Lili was concentrating on standing in front of a flower that she had never seen before. This flower was graceful and graceful, with trembling branches, with a unique beauty, but the flower was as white as snow, so clean that it made people breathless.In particular, the fragrance it exudes is elegant and has the power to penetrate the heart and spleen. One breath can relax the whole body and make people feel intoxicated leisurely. "What kind of flower is this?" Du Lili turned around in astonishment when she heard the voice, and asked selflessly. Zhang Xiaotian blushed: "This is Tianshan Snow." "Snow in Tianshan?" Du Lili's voice had a bone-eating taste, which made the young Zhang Xiaotian's eardrums tremble slightly, and the microwaves swayed slightly.Over there, Luo Zhengxiong's face was already darkened with anger, he couldn't see Zhang Xiaotian's humiliated face in front of a woman the most. "Attention everyone, gather urgently." Luo Zhengxiong himself didn't know why he issued such a password that day. Later, he thought, maybe from the first sight, he wanted to send Du Lili back. It's a hassle to take her with you.Luo Zhengxiong in the nest let out a deep sigh. The wind died down at some point, and the dark night rolled over. Luo Zhengxiong's body and neck were covered with a thick layer of sand.Standing up, shaking off the dust from his body, Luo Zhengxiong looked out eagerly, while Zhang Xiaotian was taking Du Lili and the others to move things to the dug nest.The first group that collected firewood also came back one after another. The firewood piled up into a hill, and the guide, Uncle Timur, was directing the other group to light the bonfire.There is something particular about lighting a bonfire in the desert, not where you want to be. According to Uncle Timur Khan, the first thing is to put it auspiciously, and the second is to put it in a festive way. Man's hope is aflame.His daughter Ahalgul is cooking delicious mutton with the cooking team. Ahal Guli is a girl who is a bit too beautiful. This beauty is beyond the imagination of a Han man like Luo Zhengxiong and Zhang Xiaotian. If it is not for entering Xinjiang, no matter how wild their imagination is, they will not be able to imagine a girl like this .It's a pity that this beauty made Ahal Guli wrapped in a veil. From the first day of the meeting until now, her smile has been hidden behind the veil, only showing Luo Zhengxiong's black grape-like eyes.Coupled with the strict discipline of the troops and the respect for Uighur compatriots, Luo Zhengxiong did not dare to look directly at the past.But in his heart, he felt that the beautiful Ahalgul was kind and affectionate, and with her as a guide, the harshness of this expedition was reduced by half. Seeing that Gale did not mess up the newly formed team, Luo Zhengxiong felt a little comforted.He jumped out of the nest and shouted at the guards standing in the distance: "Can you see them?" The voice of the guard came from the night: "I can't see it, Captain." On the night after the storm in the summer of 1951, Hong Haizi's first meal was of great significance to Luo Zhenghai's life.When Ahalguli handed him a bowl of mutton with his own hands, he saw the stars flashing in the distance, which was the first light in the sky after the storm subsided, but Luo Zhengxiong felt that he saw hope.Ahal Guli speaks Chinese very fluently, but Luo Zhengxiong likes to express his thanks to her in Uighur language. Uncle Timur beside him said with a smile: "When I saw the first star, the light was already shining. I wave to you, eat, let your soldiers eat their fill." Just as Luo Zhengxiong was about to speak, Du Lili, who was squatting behind Zhang Xiaotian, suddenly yelled: "My God, sand." Then, he heard the sound of a bowl being thrown on the beach.In the dark night, Luo Zhengxiong clearly felt a few pairs of bright black eyes move a few times, which was the dissatisfaction from Uncle Timur and Ahal Guli, and also the dissatisfaction from the whole desert. "Pick it up." Luo Zhengxiong walked over and stared at Du Lili.Du Lili didn't seem to feel his majesty, she muttered, "The bowl is full of sand, how can I eat it?" "Pick it up!" His lion-like voice suddenly burst out in the dark night. This voice was very familiar to Zhang Xiaotian and the others. It was like a thunderous tremor to every soldier of the Sharp Knife Regiment in the past, but it was so unfamiliar to Du Lili. ,fear. "I won't pick it up. Who are you giving your shame to?" Second Battalion Commander Zhang Xiaotian was about to wink at her when Luo Zhengxiong picked up Du Lili and threw her out of the crowd like a chicken.With the light from the bonfire, the soldiers of the Special Second Regiment saw that Luo Zhengxiong bowed his waist, held up the bowl, picked up the mutton scattered on the ground, and said to the soldiers: "This is the first meal we ate in the desert." For a meal, Uncle Timur brought his sheep from thousands of miles to inspire the fighting spirit of our Special Second Regiment. We only have 46 people at the moment, and Political Commissar Yu and the others are still on the way. I firmly believe that our team will continue to grow. It will become an iron camel in the desert. After eating this mutton meal, we are tied to the desert. Needless to say, the difficulties and obstacles ahead, I only hope that the 46 of us will still be there when the mission ends in the future. After finishing speaking, he took the wine in the hands of the cooking squad leader and sprinkled it on the beach.Amidst the aroma of wine, Luo Zhengxiong grabbed the mutton that Du Lili had spilled on the ground and gnawed it. The meal was a little heavy. Du Lili was silently deprived of the right to eat. Red Sea is a Dead Sea. It is said that in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, it was still green and rippling with water and grass. It was not far from the Red Sea. It used to be the official residence of a prince, and his descendants are still in charge of Xinjiang.When Luo Zhengxiong and the others quelled the rebellion, this descendant also gave a lot of help.The sea of ​​sand stretches, the world changes, and the vast desert stretches as far as the eye can see. How many stories are buried?Back then, Honghaizi was fertile and beautiful, but now it is ferocious and terrifying, with murderous intentions lurking in the calm.In the middle of the night, Luo Zhengxiong, who was already sound asleep, was awakened by the noise, turned up and asked the guards, did Yu Hai and the others arrive?The guard timidly said, "No, it's Du Lili." The noise was really made by Du Lili. Du Lili felt aggrieved in her heart after that fall, but she didn't dare to speak out. Now she has learned how powerful Luo Zhengxiong is. This black-faced demon king really looks like a cannibal.Du Lili was full of worries, curled up in the nest, it was the first time she saw the nest, and it was also the first time to "enjoy" the nest, she couldn't have imagined that people could still be like mice, nesting in this dark and In a damp crypt.Du Lili's heart was so dark, how could she sleep in such a dirty place?If I knew this earlier, I wouldn't be a soldier if I killed her.It's a pity that it was too late, Du Lili suddenly thought of her father, and her father was right: "When you are a soldier, you think that military uniform is easy to wear, but if you wear it on your front feet, you will cry until your eyes bleed." Tears burst out, but she really wanted to cry. Dreams can sometimes deceive people. No matter how beautiful a dream is, it will be completely changed when it touches reality. Du Lili felt that the desert ruined her first dream in life. Her stomach was growling with hunger. She hadn't eaten for two days and couldn't eat. How could she swallow such rough food, and how could she bear a mouth full of sand?There was something wriggling in her eyes, it wasn't grievance, it was hunger, a golden flower from hunger.At this moment, a strange sound came out from the nest, like a mouse stealing food, more like two hard things grinding, it was very ear-piercing, Du Lili heard it, and it turned out to be the fat man beside him grinding his teeth.Du Lili became furious. Among the five female soldiers who came with her, she hated the fat man the most. Not to mention his short stature, he also had a short mind. Only his body was her strength.Du Lili punched the fat man first: "Hey, wake up, take care of your teeth." The fat man turned around and threw Du Lili a back that was wider than a man's. Like a big snail.Seeing that she didn't respond, Du Lili pushed her again, "What's the matter, you're still eating in your sleep." The fat man suddenly stretched his legs and let out a fart.How could Du Lili bear this, immediately, she tore up the fat man, "Are you a human or a pig, get out!" The fat man was too heavy, Du Lili wanted to lift her up, but she fell to the ground instead, The fat man turned over, and Yuan fell asleep again, with a thick leg on Du Lili's body, and Du Lili couldn't get up even thinking about it. Du Lili's howling came out like this.When Zhang Xiaotian rushed to hear the sound, the female soldier's nest had already rolled into a ball, and Du Lili had fought with the fat man.The fat man's name is Zhang Shuangyang, from Min County, Gansu Province.She originally ran to the army to find her brother, but unfortunately her brother died when he quelled the rebellion.Zhang Shuangyang cried a lot and told the chief that she wanted to be a soldier and didn't want to go back to Min County.Originally, she was not assigned to the Second Special Regiment. The female soldiers who joined the Second Special Regiment were strictly selected. Although they looked a little weak, they all possessed special skills.Reluctantly, before departure, a female soldier was suddenly "selected" by her superiors and left. This is also a special need of the army, and no one dared to stop her, so Zhang Shuangyang was temporarily added. "Zhang Shuangyang, come out!" Zhang Xiaotian saw Zhang Shuangyang's fat buttocks sitting on Du Lili's body, and Du Lili called her father and mother under the pressure, so he punished Zhang Shuangyang out of the nest.Du Lili's eyes were red and swollen. She had obviously cried, but now she was acting like a hero and wanted to pounce on Zhang Shuangyang.Zhang Xiaotian stopped her, "What do you want to do, do you have to go outside?!" Du Lili gave Zhang Xiaotian a look: "I want to change the dormitory immediately, living with such a person, I will go crazy." 张笑天没理杜丽丽，他看到夜色下罗正雄正冲这边走来，忙迎过去，堵住罗正雄。“女兵发生了点小磨擦，没事，我已经处理了，团长请回去休息吧。” 罗正雄刚要发火，却猛然发现黑夜里有人影在动，就在离营地几十米处。“谁？”他叫了一声，拔枪就冲黑影的方向扑去。张笑天也觉眼里有什么东西动了一下，条件反射似地跟着冲过去。两人跑过沙梁时，黑影已没了踪。四周静楚楚的，除了夜风，再没有别的声音。 怪了？两人的目光碰到一起，又迅速分开。“搜！”罗正雄说了一声，人已窜入黑夜中。 红海子一带，地形十分复杂，不仅有废城遗址，还有枯井深穴，更可怕的，清末年间，这儿曾发生过一场宗族间的血斗，几百人被一夜间屠尽，尸骨埋进废弃的城墙底下，此后红海子便成为血光之海，终年弥荡着一股冤气。夜色懵懵，大漠露出它深幽险恶的一面，罗正雄和张笑天分头搜寻，每迈一步都觉有寒气从头顶冒出。新疆虽已解放，但残存的国民党反动势力还有叛乱分子随时都在伺机反扑，之所以分两路行进，就是不让敌人摸清独二团的真正意图，更不让敌人搞清楚独二团有多少人。独二团肩负的，不只是勘查荒漠戈壁，还有一项更为隐秘的任务，罗正雄没敢跟同志们讲，包括二营长张笑天，罗正雄也隐瞒着。一想到这一层，罗正雄就忍不住要抽冷气，他必须时刻保持警惕，一定要为全团的安全着想。这也是他在饭前说那番话的真正缘由。 直到天色发白，还是啥也没寻着。两人在一处枯井前汇合后，张笑天要说什么，罗正雄拿眼神制止了他。这是罗正雄的习惯，对有所怀疑的事，他从不讲出来，也不许同志们讲出来。有时候怀疑搁在心里，比讲出来的危害要小。 征战尚未开始，绝不能先乱了人心！ 回到营地，女兵张双羊还站在外面，两人让黑影一搅，反把这事给忘了。也难得这女娃，居然很是服从地在风中立了半夜，身子还挺得笔直。罗正雄瞅了一眼，没说话，这时候说啥也不合适，还是留给二营长去处理。不过，他对这个来自小县城的女娃，心里多了种看法。 新的一天很快开始，出乎意料的是，罗正雄下达了一个命令，全团集合，兵分两路，在沙漠中跑步。 罗正雄有意识地将杜丽丽分到了自己这边，而将张双羊分给了张笑天，果然，没跑上半小时，杜丽丽就掉队了。罗正雄没理这个边城小姐，继续带着队伍往前跑。中午时分，他看到向导阿哈尔古丽扶着汗流浃背的杜丽丽，一瘸一拐地朝队伍走来。罗正雄的目光在阿哈尔古丽身上盯了好久，才缓缓移开，然后一声令下：“全体注意，前方目标，沙刺梁，冲啊。” 阿哈尔古丽和杜丽丽又被远远甩在后头。 这时候一只鹰斜刺里冲来，盘旋在罗正雄他们的上空。 天格外蓝。 骄阳似火。 跑在队伍最前面的罗正雄心里却想着另外的事，政委于海他们怎么还不到，莫不是？ 罗正雄担心的没错，于海他们果然出事了。 驼队经过风葫芦黄寡妇滩时，遭遇了旋风，有人不幸失踪。当时已近黄昏，按计划他们要穿过黄寡妇滩，到前面楼兰古址紫藤香寨宿营。楼兰古国虽已不在，紫藤香寨遗址却保护完整，那儿不仅避风遮雨，还能让宿营者勾起对昔日古国的一片遐想。于海曾到过那里，还异想天开地想，有机会一定要做一名考古学家，解开楼兰之谜。现在看来只能是梦想了，中央一声令下，十万大军便成了垦荒战士，茫茫戈壁，这一生还不知能不能走出去？ 风来得总是突然，沙漠里行走，风便是你躲不过去的一个麻烦，你必须学会应对，而且要从容。好在于海早已无所畏惧。驼队走进黄寡妇滩时，他提醒大家，风葫芦的风不同别处，来得猛，旋得也疾，平地而起，呼啦啦就能把人旋起。他要大家都骑在驼上，拿绳子将身体跟驼捆一起，这样，驼在人在，风再害，驼还是有办法应付的。 谁知，短短的二十分钟刮过后，驼队被刮得七零八散，头驼旋出了黄寡妇滩，尾驼还在滩那头。三十峰驼如同三十颗花生米，让疾风撒在了阔大的黄寡妇滩。黄寡妇滩地形并不复杂，它是塔克拉玛干难得一见的平地，有人戏称她为塔克拉这个野性女人的小腹，平坦而光滑，还弥散着一股香气。多年前，这儿曾是一片沼泽。 于海回转身，四下寻找驼队，还好，向导离他不远，这是位经验丰富的老驼手，解放前曾是新疆有名的驼客子，人称“驼五爷”，这些驼都是从他手上买的。两个人顺滩往南走，赶天明时分，他们先后找到了被风掠散的二十七峰驼。 清点来清点去，独独不见的，偏是万月。 真是怕啥就有啥，于海最担心的，就是万月，进入黄寡妇滩时，他还特意向刘威交待，要他跟着万月，务必保证她的安全，谁知…… “大风旋起时，我听见过她的喊，可风实在太猛，我……”副团长刘威结结巴巴，于海他们找来前，他已寻遍了附近四处，万月失踪，他比谁都急。 “五个人一组，分六个方向找，一定要找到她。”于海顾不上多问，当下命令道。刚刚集中在一起的驼队迅速分开，排成六个小方阵，由南向北缓缓行走。这时候东方喷出一轮巨日，被风掠过的黄寡妇滩哗一下明亮起来。 于海他们在黄寡妇滩耽搁了两天，两天里驼队几乎没有休息，他们在黄寡妇滩来回走了三个来回，几乎寻遍了每一个坑坑洼洼，万月仍是不见踪影。于海的心暗下去，他不敢想象结果，心里不住地祈祷，千万别出事，千万别让她出什么事。第三天晚上，他们到达紫藤香寨，这是向导驼五爷的主张。驼五爷坚决不同意于海再找寻下去。“她要真让风掠走了，你眼睛找烂也是闲的，一双肉眼是看不穿沙漠的，这沙漠要是吞起个人来，算啥？”驼五爷见于海还不想离开黄寡妇滩，又道，“知道这滩为啥叫寡妇滩么，当年它吞掉过三十几名可怜的人儿，那可是王爷精挑细选送给疆外的上等礼品。我说句话你莫见怪，这滩，见不得女人，你若不想再惹麻烦，还是快快离开。” 于海不信这些，打小到现在，他就不信鬼啊神的，可这又能顶啥用呢？万月活不见人，死不见尸，纵是一干人把眼睛望穿，也看不见那个被风卷走的影子。于海不敢再拖下去，重命在身，他怕罗正雄等得心急，更怕这荒漠野滩，突然地再飞来什么横祸。大家的心情都很沉重，谁也无心思为紫滕香寨生出遐想，沉默取代了一切。 可怜的紫滕香，迎来了一支伤心的队伍。 第二天重新上路时，驼五爷忽然说：“放心，我的驼我知道，只要她不离开驼，驼就能把她带回来。” “真的？”于海心里忽然生出一丝希望，惊喜地盯住驼五爷。 驼五爷避开他跳跃的目光，冲空旷的大漠吼了两嗓子，唱：“太阳升起的地方就有希望，驼铃响过的地方就有歌唱，我心爱的阿拉依姑娘，不会抛下我远走他乡。” 这是多么熟悉的歌呀，每一个进疆战士，都被这歌熏染过，陶醉过，激励过。这阵驼五爷唱出来，更是别有一番滋味。驼五爷是汉族人，老家在内蒙一带，他唱这歌绝不是赞美爱情，他是用歌声带给于海信心。于海轰走那些悲暗的想法，抖抖精神，他从驼五爷的镇定里得到一丝宽慰，是啊，我心爱的阿拉依姑娘，不会抛下我远走他乡。 可是走着走着，他忽然扯起嗓子，冲望不到头的大漠吼：“有本事你就把我们全吞掉，你个黑了心的，吞走一个姑娘算什么英雄？！” 这声音有点像狼嗥。大漠唰一下静下来，极静。 只有驼铃不倦的声音。 谁的心也沉甸甸的，没有人知道，接下去还会发生什么。 又是两天后，驼队终于到达红海子。望见营地的一刻，于海心里腾起一股浪，这是出征者常有的心情，每每跟战友会合，总会有别样的东西生出来。罗正雄老早就等在沙梁子上，看见于海，兴奋地扑过去，两个人紧抱在一起，用身体传达着内心想要说的话。 红海子腾起一片欢跃。 “我把万月丢了。”于海说，声音里有股深深的自责。罗正雄嘿嘿一笑，捣了于海一拳。于海感觉有点怪，不解地瞪住罗正雄。罗正雄指着远处的方向说：“你看。” 这一看，于海惊了。铺满果果刺的沙岭上，万月背对他们而立，她的身姿曼妙，颀长，宛若一支风中摇曳的野玫瑰，盛开在果果刺中。夏日的果果刺，尽情地喷出一岭的黄花，染得沙梁子要醉。风一吹，沙岭摇晃起来。 “她怎么……？”于海惊得说不出话。 “她比你们早到了一天。”罗正雄说着话，牵过驼，引于海往营地走。他脸上并没太多惊诧，好像万月的失踪并不是件值得惊诧的事，倒是于海，脑子里怔然着，这真是太意外了，万月她？他一边走，一边不住地往回望，那依风而立的影子，似乎勾起他什么心事，可他又的确不是一个有心事的人。夏日的沙漠里，因了万月的出现，再次激起一片欢悦。于海心里，却无端地多出些什么。 宿营的时候，出了点小意外。两支队伍汇合后，罗正雄对地窝子重新做了一番分配，由于万月坚决不睡地窝子，只好在炊事班边上为她搭了座简易帐蓬，没想杜丽丽也想挤进去，让罗正雄狠剋了一通。杜丽丽噘个小嘴，暗骂罗正雄偏心，凭啥要给新来的女兵搞特殊？炊事班另一侧，是向导铁木尔大叔和女儿阿哈尔古丽的帐蓬，向导们是从来不睡地窝子的，走到哪，都有他们自带的帐蓬。罗正雄原想在父女俩边上为新来的向导驼五爷搭个小帐蓬，没想驼五爷跟铁木尔大叔刚打了个照面，就再也不往那边去了。这两个一生都在沙漠中行走的人，好像有什么成见。罗正雄问了几句，驼五爷不说，他牵着自个的驼，走到离营地二百步处，取下驼上的大行囊，有点孤独地在沙岭下打起帐蓬来。 这个时候，一直很活跃的阿哈尔古丽却突然沉默下来，好像驼五爷的到来惊扰了她。罗正雄尽管什么也没说，但还是牢牢记下了驼五爷第一眼看见阿哈尔古丽时那十分惊诧的眼神。 铁木尔大叔倒显得很大度，从帐蓬里拿了一个馕，朝沙岭走去，不过很快，他的步子又迈了回来，驼五爷不喜欢吃他的馕。 罗正雄静静观察着这一切，心里，止不住打了几个问号。 队伍一会合，特二团就算正式成立，罗正雄用一天时间，给队伍做战前动员。他还是改不了多年养成的习惯，总是把战前动员看得很重。虽是和平年代，可这次出征，就意味着作战，是人跟自然、人跟沙漠的战斗。能否打赢这场战争，考验的，不只是全团战士的技战术，更重要的，是毅力和信心。是的，信心。罗正雄说：“战争年代，我们出生入死，尖刀一样时刻准备着插入敌人心脏。现在是建设年代，我们铁肩担使命。我们将是一群怪兽，一群野狼，穿漠海，越戈壁，过沼泽……我们无所畏惧，目的，就是把红旗插在天山上！” 出乎意料，这几天看似散漫的这支队伍，忽然间变得紧张、严肃，包括已经挨了好几次批的杜丽丽，这阵儿也神情肃然，睁着两只明突突的眼，朝罗正雄望。 罗正雄讲完，杜丽丽带头鼓掌，掌声间，罗正雄扫了一眼万月，她的双手并没鼓在一起，而是习惯性的十指交叉搁在膝上。目光，正穿过红海子，凝望着远处。 按师部下达的计划，特二团第一项任务，就是测量红海子地形图。 队伍分成三组，第一组由于海带领，负责测绘红海子地形图。第二组由副团长刘威和张笑天带领，测绘曾经流往红海子的古河道。这是迄今为止兵团发现的最大的一条古河道，相传二百多年前，这条叫做呼尔玛的古河还清波荡漾，水流淙淙，它的一头系着天山，一头，扎进浩瀚的大漠。搞清古河道，对兵团下一步大规模开垦农田作用十分重大，因此罗正雄要求，务必在一月时间，将古河道的几个分支全都测出来。第三组，却有点奇怪，三个人，罗正雄，还有他带来的两个年轻的战士。至于做什么，罗正雄没向大家说。于海和刘威也没多问。 在这支部队里，很多事是不能随便问的，于海和刘威接受这次任命时，上级曾再三强调，行动上要绝对服从指挥，牵扯到某些机密的，要他们能回避一定要回避。“绝不能轻易怀疑谁，更不能互相间形成磨擦，记住，你们的任务只有一个，就是为大兵团提供第一手资料。” 队伍哗啦啦开进红海子，向导也分成两组，帮战士们拿仪器。罗正雄眼里，这些仪器比生命还重要，尽管到现在，他还一样也不会摆弄。 远远地，罗正雄看见，第一个架起经纬仪的，竟是万月。这女子果然利落，似乎一触摸到仪器，她就变成了另一个人，两天里留给罗正雄的那种杨柳轻摆的感觉瞬间全无，他不得不叹服，师长刘振海挑人就是有眼光。另一头，张笑天他们也站在了起点，扛着水准尺往前跑的，竟是胖子张双羊。甭看她体重130多斤，跑起来却很灵活，这是个能吃苦的孩子，罗正雄很看好她。她哥哥以前就在罗正雄手下当侦察兵，那次平息叛乱，不幸身中埋伏，让叛乱分子活活给埋了。 夏日的红海子，因了这支神秘的队伍，忽然间活泛起来。一阵微风掠过，罗正雄的心慢慢舒展开来。等两个组全部投入工作后，罗正雄转身对侦察兵说：“从现在起，你们的任务就是全天候监督红海子周围的一切，哪怕飞进一只鸟，也要给我记下模样。记住了，红海子只是我们放给对手的一颗烟幕弹，在真正进入核心地带前，我们必须要保证这支队伍没被敌人渗透，更不被敌人发现，做不到这点，下一步工作就不能开展，我们绝不能让特一团的悲剧重演。” 两个侦察兵化妆后迅速离去，罗正雄自己，却呆呆地坐在了沙梁子上。 他心里有事。师部召开的秘密会议上，师长刘振海传达了兵团司令部的指示。特一团出事后，兵团司令部展开了调查，初步怀疑，特一团是内部出了奸细。新疆独立分子还有国民党残孽暗中勾结起来，妄图颠覆我新政权，为了不让革命的红色种子撒遍辽阔的疆域，他们派间谍打入我特一团内部，伺机采取报复行动。特一团出事那天，恰好是油田地形地质资料勘探完毕的日子。特一团因为急着向司令部报功，放松了警惕，让暗藏的敌对分子趁虚而入。据司令部查到的情况，特一团两名骨干分子还有一名向导神秘失踪，同时，一号油田的所有资料都已失踪。如果这些资料落入敌人手中，后果不堪设想！因此司令部要求，特二团在完成司令部交给的勘测任务以外，就是要设法找到三个失踪者。这也是司令部为啥急着让特二团紧急开赴大漠的原由。目前司令部已严密封锁所有离开大漠的通道，如果失踪者还活着的话，一定潜伏在大漠里。茫茫大漠，真要找到这三个人，的确很难。但司令部相信罗正雄能做到。 进疆的官兵中，惟有罗正雄受过特种训练，对付间谍还有叛逃者，罗正雄就是司令部一张王牌！ “你是钢，关键时刻必须用在刀刃上。如果把大漠比作天空，你就是雄鹰，现在这只鹰要飞向天空，除了照顾好同志，你还要随时扑向狡猾的豺狼。”师长刘振海对他充满了无限期望，他也知道，将罗正雄突然截留下来，有点残忍，可特一团突然出事，打乱了司令部整个计划。这个时候，除了紧急召回这些精兵强将，还有什么更好的办法？ 副团长刘威还有二营长张笑天，都是从转业名单上让司令员亲自划过来的。 可见，司令部对组建特二团，下了多大决心。 然而，进入沙漠已经十天，罗正雄脑子里，却一点头绪也没。他现在是看谁都起疑心，稍稍的风吹草动，都能让他的神经敏感起来。万月失踪又意外回来，这中间到底发生过什么，他没细问，问了她也不会说。罗正雄很清楚万月的性格，特二团现有的女兵中，她是最难把握的一个，也是最为神秘的一个。还有，向导驼五爷为什么不跟铁木尔大叔住一起，他看阿哈尔古丽的目光为什么那么奇怪？ 那天晚上的那个黑影到底是谁？ 这些问题必须尽快搞清楚，要不然，罗正雄自己会迷失掉方向。 got windy!刚才还骄阳四射的大漠，眨眼间被一场黑风洗劫，天空乌云骤起，黑风卷着沙石，朝罗正雄扑来。他顶着恶风，摸进营地，从地窝子里拿了件东西，豹子一样顺风而去。 这就是罗正雄，再恶的风，也迷不住他的双眼。 一周以后的一个早上，营地发生了件小事。天刚蒙蒙亮，罗正雄从营地外面回来，正要往地窝子里钻，猛听政委于海在另一边发火。罗正雄止住步子，竖起耳朵听，于海好像是在批评万月。大清早的，又是什么事？罗正雄轻步走过去，晨曦下，一幅画面跳入他眼帘。晨光泼洒过的大地，发出一层黄橙橙的亮，夜风抚摸过的沙梁子，极像一条浑圆饱满的大腿，尽情地裸露在天空下。大漠发出的质感，有时是很能感染人的，它能让人猛地想到美的极深处。沙梁子下面，一块帆布遮挡起一个小世界，那是女兵们的私地儿，罗正雄轻易也不敢朝那儿去。此时，万月背对着他，将她美丽的背还有匀称修长的双腿展现给他。晨光将她的背映得很模糊，两条腿更是朦朦，她似乎被定格在那里，成为一幅画。罗正雄定睛望了一会，才知道万月是在洗头。 沙漠里是绝不允许洗头的，这一点罗正雄讲得很清楚。红海子的水源还没找到，来时带的水又很有限，水就成了一团人的命根子，除了女兵，早上可以拿毛巾沾点儿水擦把脸，男兵是绝不容许糟蹋一滴水的。怪不得一向温和的于海会发那么大火。 可是这火发了等于没发。于海在边上大发雷霆，万月却照旧洗着她的头，似乎于海这个人根本就不存在。此时，她已将头发从水中取出，轻轻拿毛巾掠干。头一仰，那一头瀑布便飞泻而下。罗正雄吃了一惊，这么长日子，他居然没发现万月留着长发，这也是部队坚决不许的。进入大漠前，师部再三强调，女兵一律剪短发，齐耳，万月怎么能搞特殊？ 罗正雄正想走过去，万月突然转身，两个人的目光就那么瞬间相遇，不知怎么，罗正雄心里震了一下，真的是震。这是他人生第一次在异性面前发出震颤，江宛音面前也没产生过这感觉，很奇怪，很微妙，却又……罗正雄脸红了一下，感觉心跳在加快。万月静静地视住他，有那么一分多钟，她的目光盯他脸上，没挪开。罗正雄感觉被那目光烫着了，有点惶乱，也有几分茫然，就在他手足无措时，万月轻轻甩了一下发，端着水盆，进了地窝子。 政委于海的骂更响了。他大约是被这个目中无人的丫头给击怒了，居然骂出一句很难听的话：“你是战士，不是风尘女子，留长发给谁看？！”罗正雄想制止于海，那边却传来驼五爷的话，说他的罗盘不见了。 “什么？”罗正雄撵过去，向导驼五爷正在发火，说他的罗盘明明就在枕头底下，早起给驼喂草的空，罗盘就不见了。“是哪个多长一只手的，那可是我的宝贝啊。”驼五爷的声音有点
