More than 50 years ago, just after the civil war ended, the clarion call for the liberation of the whole of China had already blown to the frontiers of the motherland. The frontiers of the Western Regions, nomadic holy lands, vast prairie and undulating mountains stretching for thousands of miles have gradually been unveiled by people.Xinjiang, known as the Western Regions in ancient times, has continued the inheritance and development of civilization for thousands of years in a territory of approximately 1.6 million square kilometers.In this vast land, dozens of large and small ethnic groups once lived. Even though some ethnic groups are only a flash in the pan in the scroll of history, the civilization they left behind has been passed down to this day.There are even some ethnic tribes that are not recorded in the official history at all, and their names and the civilizations they created are not known to future generations at all, but we cannot deny their existence.

More than 50 years ago, Altay was still Chenghua County under the control of the Kuomintang, where a large number of Kazakhs lived. In September 1949, Tao Zhiyue agreed to peacefully liberate Xinjiang, electrify the whole country, break away from the Kuomintang government in Guangzhou, and accept the reorganization of the Communist army.At the same time, Wang Zhen was the general, and the non-Marshal General Wang Zhen led the First Army from Lanzhou to Xinjiang, liberating Xinjiang without a single soldier.At that time, the whole country was jubilant. The Kuomintang army, which had been entrenched in Xinjiang for decades, was being reorganized by the headquarters of the People’s Liberation Army.

However, when the First Army Corps was stationed in Dihua, a small unit from the Legion just took a short rest and left the center of Dihua in the dark that night.A group of dozens of people, less than a company, walked northward along the outskirts of the city, passing through Jichang City and Shihezi, but they did not enter the city;At that time, Xinjiang had a vast territory and the transportation was inconvenient. After walking for more than half a month, the group finally arrived in Chenghua, which is now the Altay region. A company of soldiers from the People's Liberation Army entered Chenghua, took a short rest, and prepared enough dry food. Several middle-aged men who looked like officers studied a map for a long time, and asked the local Kazakh aborigines to inquire about some local folk customs. , Finally, when night fell, I left the resting hotel and headed north all the way into the Altai Mountains, which stretch for thousands of miles.

After they entered the mountain, no one saw their traces again.Half a month later, a regiment of the People's Liberation Army was stationed in Chenghua County, and this regiment headquarters was also the furthest PLA troops stationed in Xinjiang at that time.After they were stationed in Chenghua, they immediately arranged to take over the local military defense tasks. The head of the regiment, Li Changgen, was drinking water there with a military jug seized from the Japanese army. His correspondent suddenly rushed in from the outside of the yard, stumbled and gave a military salute before he could stand still, and said loudly: "Report to Commander Li, urgent call—"

Li Changgen was almost choked, he coughed a few times, covered the lid of the kettle and yelled at his throat, and cursed: "His grandma, you bastard, what's the urgent call, isn't the whole of Xinjiang peacefully liberated?" Correspondent Wang Er said loudly: "Commander, it's really an urgent telegram! Moreover, the telegram was compiled with the highest-level coding of our army, and a few words were added in front of the telegram—" Li Changgen glared at Wang Er's stunned man, and said, "What word? It looks like a scallion!" Wang Er stupidly opened the folder and read: "Top secret——"

Li Changgen's face turned pale, and he called Wang Erlian to enter the room.Li Changgen understood that it would be impossible for a cadre of his level to be able to read top-secret telegrams if the sky had not fallen.But at this moment, what can happen? Wang Er was stupefied and read: "The top-secret message from the headquarters, Chenghua Li Changgen Regiment Headquarters, quickly dispatched two companies to the southern foot of Altay Mountain, searched for the traces of our army's advance team, and reported the search results within twelve hours. Wang secret message." Li Changgen was stunned, and Wang Er was also stunned. Although they didn't understand why their superiors sent them into the mountains to search for the purpose of the advance team, but this secret telegram from the headquarters, Wang, could be figured out by anyone with their asses.

This is a top-secret telegram sent by General Wang Zhen. The military order was urgent, and Li Changgen hastily handed over the procedure of troops stationed in Chenghua to the deputy head of the regiment. He personally led two elite companies and marched into the Altai Mountains. At the southern foot of the vast Altai Mountains, he divided the troops into four teams and went deep into the mountains. Look for traces of the advance team in the secret message. A week later, the regiment headquarters lost contact with the search teams of the two companies led by Li Changgen. The deputy head led the team into the mountains and searched for nearly a month. Nearly a hundred people from the two companies seemed to have evaporated. Not a single scrap of cloth remained.

The deputy group panicked and immediately reported the situation to the headquarters. The headquarters sent people to Chenghua a few days ago to conduct a thorough investigation, but they found no clues. But one day, a hunter at the foot of the Altai Mountain reported to the Interim Public Security Committee that a skeleton had been found in the dense forest at the foot of the mountain.The investigators at the headquarters were preparing to evacuate, and upon hearing the situation, they immediately went to check. At the foot of the tree in the dense forest lay a skeleton lying on its side. The bone was as white as a large animal that had been pecked empty by eagles and vultures on the grassland.But this is in the mountains of Altai, where the trees are so tall, how could eagles and vultures come here to peck at them?

What's more, investigators at the headquarters found a piece of sheepskin under the body of the skeleton, on which a strange pattern was scribbled. At first glance, the pattern seemed to be a sheep's head with one eye blind. sheep head.The most surprising thing is that although the painting is scribbled, it expresses the expression of the sheep vividly. The sheep seems to be smiling, and the smile is so weird that people feel like vomiting. A layer of cold sweat broke out. The hunter said that he had been hunting here two months ago, but he didn't find anything unusual here, but it was not an easy task to completely decompose the corpse in a relatively short period of time.Even if it was eaten by animals, the bones must at least show signs of damage.

Moreover, the time when the bones appeared happened to be very close to the time when the advance team entered the southern foothills of the Altai Mountains. That night, the skeleton was sealed and preserved together with the sheepskin with the sheep's head painted on it, and was marked as top secret, and was rushed to the Dihua headquarters, and then sent to Beijing for storage. After this incident, the headquarters never sent any manpower into the Altai Mountains, and the original garrison troops were also transferred away after a few years.Li Changgen and his brothers from the two companies, as well as the troops of the previous advance team, were scattered in the mountains of Altai like dust, and no one mentioned them again.

More than 20 years later, the "Cultural Revolution" had just ended, Lao Chenghua had long since been renamed Altay County, and the garrison had changed from batch to batch. , One after another drove over.But one day, hundreds of large military trucks suddenly drove up in the military area more than 30 kilometers away in the northern suburb of Altay County. Trucks were galloping on the dry land, dust was flying all over the sky, and the convoy stretching for tens of miles was like a giant beast hidden in the dust. They rushed to the military station with a large amount of military supplies.Herds of bison on the grassland ran along with the convoy, and the ground was shaken by a large black mass of bison. This huge convoy has been moving for a week before stopping.A green military jeep drove over from the edge of the grassland and into the compound of the headquarters of the military region. A middle-aged man with a dark face got out of the car. Capable and seasoned.He was wearing a dark green military uniform, with golden yellow epaulets on his shoulders, and two thin red bars and four stars on the bottom plate of the epaulets. He had the rank of a colonel, and at least he was a deputy division figure. The middle-aged man walked straight into the hall of the military region, and the sound of leather shoes hitting the floor echoed in the empty security hall of the military region.Along the way, there was a post at five steps, and a whistle at ten steps. The middle-aged man greeted the guards with impeccable salutes indifferently, with piercing eyes, looking straight ahead. He seemed to be very familiar with this military base, he circled around, and finally took the elevator down to the third basement floor.The elevator door opened, and a female officer at the elevator door gave him a loud military salute, saying: "Colonel Wang, you are here, the commander is waiting for you in the office!" Colonel Wang nodded slightly, glanced at the female officer, and motioned to lead the way.The female officer led Senior Colonel Wang around several corridors, and pressed a switch, and Senior Colonel Wang followed her in. The person in front of the desk has gray hair, and he is bending over to write a large cursive character. The person's pen is fast and smooth, with rhythm and fluency, and every detail is very well grasped. The female officer said: "Commander, Colonel Wang is here!" The old man straightened up and leaned his pen on the inkstone. Senior Colonel Wang put his legs together, tapped his heels, and performed a military salute with a slap, "Commander, Wang Guohui is here to report!" The old man smiled and said, "Guohui, we haven't seen each other for at least a few years. I didn't expect that once I got out of the 'Cultural Revolution' prison, I would be tasked with such an important task!" Colonel Wang said in a deep voice, "Wang Guohui asks the chief to give you the task!" The old man waved his hands and said, "Guohui, I haven't seen you for so many years, you still have such a hot temper, you have to change." Colonel Wang bowed his head, and the old man pointed to the big characters written on the desk just now, and said, "Guohui, this is the mission of your trip—" On the snow-white paper, there were four big characters written in flying and flying patterns, "One-eyed Qingyang". The old man took a deep breath and said, "Guohui, it's not that I don't believe in your ability, but that going deep into the Altai Mountains this time is indeed extremely dangerous. The dozen or so experts are in your hands. Not only do you have to complete The mission is to bring these dozen people out safely, do you understand?" Colonel Wang looked at the old man suspiciously. The old man sighed and said, "This secret may be related to the rewriting of history. Maybe we are all just pathfinders to discover the real history." The old man looked at the setting sun in the afternoon, and said calmly: "It may be a victim, you have to be prepared for this!" A month later, in the underground base of the Altai Frontier Military Region, there were no less than a dozen officers sitting in the meeting room. The large space was all made of refined steel frames, and the air was filled with a cold and stiff atmosphere.More than a dozen officers were expressionless, and most of them wore red-edged and starred logos on their shoulder straps. They stared at a document that was taken out of a cowhide bag on the table. The general presiding over the meeting coughed and said solemnly: "All the ten expedition teams of Wang Guohui's department have disappeared, and the telecommunications equipment lost contact with the ground half a month ago. The special search and arrest operation team has already started. But according to the current situation Look, the situation is extremely pessimistic." A gray-haired old man knocked on the table and said, "It's the same as the situation twenty years ago. The two companies of the Central Reconnaissance Company and the Li Changgen Regiment completely disappeared at the southern foot of the Altai Mountains in order to complete their mission. Entering that place is like The world is like evaporating, no one is alive, no one is dead, what is the secret that the higher-ups are looking for?" Half a month later, the search team found an old man in ragged clothes near the Russian border in the eastern foothills of the Altai Mountains.The man passed out on the edge of the foothills, and the search team sent him to the military hospital for emergency treatment. After verification, this man was one of the archaeological experts who participated in the Altai Mountain expedition.After a week of emergency treatment, the old man finally regained consciousness, but at the same time, his spirit had collapsed, and he couldn't recall everything that happened in the depths of the mountain. It took nearly three years for the military hospital to heal his injuries and send him back to his hometown. Half a year later, the old man fell ill again and died.All the information related to this has been sorted into files by the military region, and the files have been collected into the National Archives through secret channels, and the file level is absolutely confidential. And all of this is just the beginning of the whole story. The one-eyed Qingyang and the secrets deep in the Altai Mountains have just come into people's sight.
