Gao Lie bought some things at a nearby store and received a call from the political commissar on his way back.
It was agreed that the two parties would contact each other at this time every day, and political commissar Han would report on the work of the brigade, but it was late today. Han Wei was quite tangled when he made the call. On the one hand, he was afraid of disturbing the young couple who were on vacation, but on the other hand, he was working hard.
Don't wait for anyone.
Finally, he took the initiative to call me.
I came up and apologized first: "I'm sorry, Captain Gao, things are a bit urgent today, otherwise I wouldn't have..." Such a lack of expression...
Gao Lie intercepted the political commissar's words: "Haha, okay, this is not something we want to do with each other."
He leaned under the mango tree on the roadside and took out a cigarette as a habit. But when he squinted his eyes and saw the no-smoking sign in the flower pond, he retracted his half-stretched hand and put it into his trouser pocket.
The political commissar and he have been partners for many years and have already formed a deep tacit understanding. There is no nonsense between them. They talk about things and admit mistakes. Even if they curse, they are limited to a certain time.
"Wait a minute, I'll call the dedicated line." Usually when Han Wei does this, it means something serious has happened, or there is a confidential situation that needs to be reported to him.
Soon, the call came again, but this time the caller ID was blank.
Top secret phone calls that cannot be monitored.
"It's the Xilian Organization. I just received a notification from my superiors that the main personnel of the Xilian Organization have withdrawn from the mainland and returned to the Yunnan border."
Gao Lie was startled, sensitively aware of something strange. Could it be that the operation was going to start early?
When violent terrorists return to Yunnan, are they returning to the drug town that has always been regarded as a "lawless world" and is still a major channel for international drug trafficking?
Qinghe.
As soon as these two words appeared in his mind, Gao Lie felt a palpitation in his heart, a little tightness in his chest, and a little pain mixed in with it.
"Where is the border?" He needed to confirm again.
"We haven't received notification of the specific location, but our superiors have ordered us to be on standby to respond to possible emergencies at any time." Han Wei's tone was very cautious.
Gao Lie was silent for a while and whispered: "Okay. I understand."
He didn't ask anything else. Han Wei also hurriedly reported on the team's work and hung up the phone.
Gao Lie did not go back immediately. He stood under the fruit tree beside the road, thought for a few seconds, and dialed a series of numbers on his mobile phone again.
Soon, the call was connected.
The other party was surprised, "Ariel, aren't you on vacation? Where are you now?"
"Oh, I'm in Dehong." Gao Lie tightened the bag in his hand and frowned, "You can change the dedicated line. I have something to ask you."
Just like Han Wei's dedicated line, the call display this time is still blank.
The other party's tone was not as relaxed as before, "Ariel, tell me, what do you want to ask?"
"When will the operation start? Is it in Qinghe?" He asked the most sensitive and top-secret question, which obviously caught the other party off guard.
The other party was stunned for a moment, then chuckled: "What? You took your wife to travel around the mountains and rivers, and you lived a leisurely life, and you still feel uncomfortable?"
"Can you not be poor? It's business!" Gao Lie knocked on the microphone heavily to remind the other party to pay attention to their attitude.
Seeing that Gao Lie did not mean to joke, the other party also calmed down and seemed to be thinking about something. After a few seconds, he said: "No. 18. The location has been determined, Qinghe."
Gao Lie took a deep breath, and his eyebrows tightened even more.
No. 18.
He glanced at the date sign at the door of the store. Very good, today is the 14th. In other words, he and Xiaoxue only have less than four days left in their vacation.
In fact, there are not four days left.
It will take a lot of time on the way back and forth.
There was no reply for a while, and the other party was obviously a little anxious, "Hey! Let me just say something. I risked being punished to reveal military secrets to you. The least you can do is say thank you!"
Gao Lie came back to his senses and pursed his lips, "Thank you, Major Kang Da!"
"Huh... I reluctantly accept it." The other party is Kangwei, the husband of military newspaper reporter Gu Mengmeng, and Gao Lie's childhood friend and comrade-in-arms. Kangwei has an identity that will never be made public, that is, the National 530 Special
Leader of the action team.
Although Gao Lie currently serves as the captain of the Skyhawk Special Forces, he is still a special member of the 530 Action Group and accepts extraordinary tasks in extraordinary times.
In response to a series of violent terrorist incidents caused by the Xilian organization that shocked China and foreign countries, with the approval of the central government, the National Anti-Terrorism Leading Group decided to use the southwest border as the main battlefield, with close cooperation from other regions, to launch a transnational special operation to severely crack down on violent terrorist activities.
, effectively respond to the current severe and complex anti-terrorist struggle situation, make every effort to maintain overall social stability, and ensure long-term peace and stability of the country.
I wonder if it was a coincidence or not, but the special operation codenamed "Thunder" at the Beijing Conference actually coincided with the name of the Ministry of Public Security's operation to eliminate drug traffickers in Qinghe many years ago. In the operation many years ago, Xiaoxue lost her most beloved person, and the Gao family also lost their
Cherished little son.
At the meeting, Conway was appointed as the leader of the "Thunder" operation team, and Gao Lie was appointed as the deputy leader. Gao Lie's deputy leader was actually a false position. Due to his special status, he did not need to participate in various preparatory meetings before the operation, so
, his vacation was approved so quickly. And Kangwei, who was meticulous, seemed to have foreseen the possible battle in Qinghe. He knew that Qinghe was an obstacle that could not be overcome in the eyes of the Gao family, plus Gong Xue
He had a knot in his heart, so in the name of not interrupting his friend's vacation, he wanted him to miss this action.
Unexpectedly, Gao Lie, who was on vacation, refused to put down his work, and his extraordinary keen insight allowed him to smell the most terrifying and bloody smell in the darkness before dawn...
"Arlie, don't force me, I will explain it to Uncle Cao." Cao Ruojin, commander of the X Military Region that governs the southwest, is the commander-in-chief of the "Thunder" operation. He named Gao Lie as the deputy team leader.
Gao Lie was silent for two seconds, and his eyes returned to their usual stern look, "Who said I forced myself? We'll see you in Qinghe on time on the 18th!"
After saying that, he hung up the phone, "Wait a minute! Where's that girl? You won't let her participate in the operation!" Conway shouted worriedly.
Gao Lie raised his lips, looked towards the hotel with colorful neon lights, and said in a leisurely tone, "Why not? My girl, I know!" After saying that, without waiting for Conway to say anything, he hung up the phone.
Standing on the crowded street, Gao Lie took a deep breath of the fresh air filled with fruity and floral fragrance, and then slowly exhaled, "Xiaoxue, it seems we don't have much time left."
