Chapter 223

203 base, early morning.

It has entered the early winter, but the weather in the south is not cool. When it is dark and bright, the wake-up call rang out in the camp.

Lei Ming stands in front of the mirror in the bathroom. The reflection in the mirror makes Lei Ming a little strange to himself.

With red eyes, stubble beard, hair that has obviously exceeded the length specified in the regulations, it is tangled like a chicken nest just picked.

If you are in an ordinary army, this military appearance will certainly be severely criticized by your superiors.

It's been more than half a month.

More than half a month has passed since Qin Fei disappeared.

The soldier sent out by himself, the inexplicable rookie who let himself enjoy and often see, of course, he will never see him again.

Lei Ming used to think that as long as Qin Fei made a little mistake, even if it was a trivial mistake, he could honestly let him go.

Now, there's nothing to do.

Because Qin Fei won't come back.

This is the first member of unit 3 of unit 203 to lose for the first time.

Although he has served in the 203 army for many years, Lei Ming has long been used to life and death, and the departure of his comrades in arms is not the first time, Qin Fei's sacrifice still makes him inexplicably sad.

For more than half a month, Lei Ming did not tidy up his military appearance, and the whole 203 training base was shrouded in a strange melancholy. Even the most sparse pop stars did not smile.

Yesterday, the final information was finally sent to unit 203.

The explosion was a trap. Obviously, someone wanted to use Qin Fei to induce the whole third team into a death trap full of explosives.

Although the final explosive detonated mysteriously early, the reason is still unknown, but I was lucky not to lose another team member.

Santos has obviously absconded. No trace of Santos has been found in all the intelligence returned from overseas. This man disappeared into the air like a wisp of water vapor evaporated in summer.

What makes thunder feel most sad is that a large amount of industrial oil was stored in the exploded plant. The explosion ignited a fire, and finally the whole abandoned plant was completely razed to the ground.

According to the report brought back by the investigators of country D and the investigators sent by unit 203, the people who set the trap added white phosphorus agent to C4 explosive. As a result, all the people and objects in the plant were burned to ashes, whether the enemy or friends, without leaving a trace.

Lei Ming knows very well that even without the fire, with such an equivalent C4 and professional explosion point setting, the other party has long not planned to leave anything that can be traced, because it involves a very sensitive relationship. In itself, this is an invisible front, and neither side will make any announcement about the victory or defeat.

Lei Ming washed his face with soap and his head, then picked up the electric haircut and began to cut his hair slowly.

This is the tradition of the army. Every soldier who has served in the army for many years will basically have his hair cut. All his hair is helped by his comrades in arms. Sometimes he has enough food and clothing by himself.

It wasn't hard to cut the head, but the thunder lasted twenty minutes, and then began to use a foam shaving.

Until he hung up the last redundant beard, he took cold water and poured it on his head and face, washed off his broken hair, and the thunder in the mirror had returned to its former appearance. However, he knew that some things had changed and could no longer be the same as before.

Back in his single room, Lei Ming reached the chair, opened the drawer, took out a kraft paper file bag from inside, slowly rolled open the white cotton rope on it, and took out a file from inside.

Turning to the first page, Qin Fei hung a bareheaded uniform photo of a first-class soldier. Hao Ran caught his eyes.

This is a very special private.

In Lei Ming's eyes, if there was no matter about Qin'an, he would appreciate this first-class soldier who was scolded as a rookie by himself.

Qin Fei's character seems a little deep and melancholy to Lei Ming, which may have a lot to do with his personal growth experience. But Lei Ming has to admit that this is the best seedling in the third unit of unit 203.

Calm and resolute, although sometimes impulsive, but full of daunting fighting spirit.

Thunder had no reason to feel that his nose was a little sour, and his eyes became hot.

Calm down, he continued to look through the remaining files carefully.

This includes Qin Fei's soldier files, as well as local files, commendation orders, meritorious service reports, d-entry volunteer letters, etc. a person's life is all on these dozens of pieces of paper.

A person's life can be heavy or light.

This is a necessary procedure. Every sacrificed soldier must be reviewed at all levels, and then sent to the operation commander for final verification, and then closed the coffin.

After reading all the materials, Lei Ming couldn't help turning the first page again.

Staring at the young faces in the photo, Qin Fei seems to be fixed at the age of 24 forever. Lei Ming suddenly feels that greatness and commonness may be together, especially in the special forces soldiers fighting on the secret front.

He picked up his pen. According to the regulations, he must sign his name in the blank, then seal the file and hand it over to the superior department for final filing and sealing.

These files will disappear for a long time. No one knows what happened to the soldier and what he experienced.

Everything will be top secret at the highest level.

Hands are shaking, thunder has not written for a long time, and time passes bit by bit.

Dududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududui——

There was a knock outside the door.

Lei Ming sighed slightly. The nib finally fell on the paper. The black ink flowed out of the pen and wrote the words of Lei Ming, the operation commander.

"Come in."

He said faintly to the door, "the door is unlocked."

Chen Kefan pushed the door in and sniffed the room. It was full of thick smoke.

"Lao Lei, it's time to prepare. Everyone is assembled and will wait for you."

Thunder was stunned and immediately seemed to be dragged back to reality from another world.

Today is Qin Fei's funeral. According to the treatment of army martyrs, he will be buried in the martyr cemetery, and then

Then what?

Qin Fei's mother Liang Shaoqin has received Qin Fei's sacrifice notice. Of course, there will be no description on it. There is only one sentence "sacrifice on duty", that's all.

Lei Ming is suddenly afraid. Liang Shaoqin is expected to come today. He really doesn't know how to face Qin Fei's mother.

Cover the pen cap, thunder suddenly looked up, looked at Chen Kefan and said, "is Jin Donghai there, too?"

"Yes," said Chen Kefan.

Thunder pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice, "let him come here first. I have something to talk to him."
