"what!?"

Not only Jiang Che, but Ji Wanqing also widened their eyes in surprise.

"Vietnam frequently provoked on the border and tried to occupy our territory. During the conflict, Deputy Commander Yan was seriously injured by a mine buried by the enemy and died."

Jiang Che quickly realized that something was wrong with him. "As the commander of the regiment, why is he not staying at the command post? Why is he on the front line?"

A son of a wealthy family should not sit in the hall, this is common sense that a commander should have.

The guard was vague, "I don't know the details, you should ask Dong Tuan."

The topic was serious and dull, and the car fell into silence.

Compared with the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the War of Liberation and the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam was a small-scale war, and Ji Wanqing did not remember it very clearly.

All I know is that in the late 1970s, Vietnam launched multiple armed harassments, occupied many parts of our territory, and caused heavy casualties among our military and civilians. Our country had no choice but to teach them a lesson.

If border guards can still return home, it means that we are still in the stage of one-sided provocation and the war has not yet reached a point of collapse.

Unexpectedly, Yan Chong died in a small-scale battle.

The car drove all the way back to the military area, and the guards sent Ji Wanqing to the gate of her family's courtyard.

Jiang Che opened the door and got out of the car, then came to the driver's seat, "I'll drive over there by myself, you help your sister-in-law with the suitcase."

"놆!"

Security guard Xiao Li helped carry two heavy suitcases and sent Ji Wanqing home.

As soon as we arrived at No. 1 Lane, we saw a white cloth hung on the door of Vice Tuan's house, with paper money scattered outside the door.

The cold wind blows, and it's desolate.

"Just put the box by the door."

Ji Wanqing took out a Beijing specialty from the suitcase for Xiao Li and said, "Thank you for your hard work. Go and have a rest."

Xiao Li refused but had to accept it, "Sister-in-law, you are too polite."

Through the high wall, the gray smoke rising from the next door indicated that paper money was being burned, and faint cries could be heard.

Ji Wanqing shook her head. It was so sudden.

The house had been empty for a long time, so she went to the living room to take a hot bath to relieve her fatigue.

Then she packed her luggage, tidied up the house, and waited until Jiang Che came back in the evening.

Seeing that he looked unhappy, Ji Wanqing asked, "What's wrong? What happened?"

Jiang Che shook his head, "Deputy Regiment Yan will go to the Martyrs' Park to bury him tomorrow."

"When did Deputy Commander Yan die?"

"Three days ago, the body was brought back yesterday for the family to see for the last time."

Fortunately, it is cold, and the body can be released.

Ji Wanqing asked: "What was the cause of death? Can you tell me?"

"The enemy uses corpses as cover mines. If you get close to the corpses, they will explode."

"Deputy Commander Yan died on the front line?"

Jiang Che was silent for a moment and sighed, "Well, our regiment headquarters guessed that the enemy might have discovered his identity as a commander and deliberately spent the price of laying mines to exchange one for one."

Ji Wanqing was good at analyzing Jiang Che's subtle expressions. She saw that Jiang Che's eyes were slightly averted and he didn't dare to look him in the eye. He didn't lie to her, but he was definitely holding back in his words.

For example, he must know why he went to the front line to fight in person, but he cannot tell it, and it is likely to be dishonorable, so he deliberately conceals it.

But she didn't plan to ask any more questions.

At least we met once, and the dead are our own. It would be disrespectful to the deceased to delve into it further. No matter what, Deputy Colonel Yan also sacrificed his life on the battlefield.

"Go take a shower." Ji Wanqing had already heated up some water in the room and told him to go wash up quickly.

After he finished washing and went to bed, the two of them just hugged each other quietly, and no one broke the silence.

——Only by being alive can you have everything.

No. 1.

Jiang Che went out early, and the sound of funeral music played by gongs and drums came from next door.

The crying gradually subsided. Ji Wanqing changed into pure black clothes and stood at the door to see off this military neighbor for the last time.

Yan's mother's gray hair has turned completely white, and Yan Xiaohu has become dull and timid, with no trace of his previous heroic and trouble-making look.

땤Ji Xiaorou.

She looked numb, and she no longer pretended to put her hands on her waist. She was like a soulless walking corpse, and she didn't even notice Ji Wanqing, who was the most afraid of her.

Ji Xiaorou has been on the verge of collapse since Yan Chong's body was sent back yesterday.

She had just gotten married, just got pregnant, and just won the first battle in the fight between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Before she could enjoy the comfortable days for a few months, her husband died.

The old woman cried bitterly, cursing her for being a troublemaker, a bad luck to her husband and family, and all sorts of nasty words.

If there were no other comrades around, Ji Xiaorou had no doubt that his wife would be able to crush her to death with a shovel!

놆, losing a child in old age, the white-haired person sending off the young, 놆 is pitiful.

What about her?

A widow, pregnant with a baby, has much more time to live than an old woman! How is she going to survive?

The funeral procession went further and further away. Ji Wanqing shook his head and prayed secretly that Jiang Che would return safely from his future combat missions.

The two days of adjustment passed in a flash.

It's time to clock in for work.

Chief Engineer Xiao had sent down the project a while ago, and this time Ji Wanqing's project team was filled with newcomers.

"It's the same as always. I'll meet with the two deputy team leaders and assign tasks for you. If you don't understand something, come and ask me." Ji Wanqing was quite passionate on the first day of work.

Not only did he make good arrangements for his own team members, he also wandered over to the next door congratulatory team and pointed out a calculation error, which indirectly helped them save two days.

"Xiao Ji, come to my office." Chief Engineer Xiao called across two desks.

"Here we go." Ji Wanqing put down the data from the team and said to the team members, "Try this torque parameter again and see what the result is. If there is still a deviation, adjust it down by two thousand points and try again."

"Good job."

Ji Wanqing came to Chief Engineer Xiao's office, "What's the matter, Senior Brother Xiao?"

Chief Engineer Xiao glanced at her sideways. This cunning girl, who usually kept a distance from Chief Engineer Xiao, would immediately call out to Senior Brother Xiao as soon as she sensed something was wrong.

"I'm busy."

He took out a document from the safe and said, "Take a look and see if you have any ideas."

This is a research project on anti-tank missiles. Its performance, hit rate, and armor penetration thickness are all improved on the original version. It is definitely a very challenging project at the moment.

"I don't have too many thoughts." Ji Wanqing told the truth.

In her opinion, this missile, which is 1.8 meters long, 0.2 meters in diameter, and has a range of only 1.4 kilometers, is too bulky.

She now has two portable anti-tank missiles in her space, which are only 17 kilometers including the launcher, and have four guidance modes for precise strikes. One shot can blow all zombies below the third level into pieces.

"This is a key research project of our country. I managed to get it with great difficulty by borrowing the name of Mr. Fu. I have issued a military warrant to the leader. We have to chew this hard bone no matter what!"

Seeing that she was not interested, Chief Engineer Xiao wanted to persuade her, "How difficult is it? I am not saying that I will put all the burden on you. We can discuss some of the details. In addition, if this missile is developed, our military factory will have stable funding in the future! If you win a place in the competition, I will approve a research and development award of 2,000 yuan for you!"

Two thousand R&D awards!

"It's not difficult at all." Ji Wanqing said with a hint of trepidation, "It's just too unchallenging and a bit boring."

She blinked. "Can I play freely?"

“…”

Thousands of words were stuck in his throat, and Chief Engineer Xiao took a deep breath, "Sixty-five research and development periods, if you can't deliver one less, I'll cut you!"
