Chapter 1 Return of the Wanderer
The World of Bright Sword, August 14, 1939.
In the vast desert and the dead sea of sand, hundreds of trucks are moving forward at a constant speed.
The wind was blowing loudly, and the rolled up gravel slapped against the truck's windshield.
A man in his early thirties with thick eyebrows and big eyes and an upright expression was sitting in the passenger seat of one of the trucks. He looked at the desolate and lifeless Gobi Desert and said, "I'm finally home!"
Although the driver in the driver's seat couldn't understand Chinese, the emotional tone still allowed him to make an accurate guess. The driver patted the shoulder of the man in the passenger seat and boldly said a string of Russian words: "Huang! Come back!"
How does it feel like home!”
Without waiting for Huang He to answer, the driver took out a bottle of vodka from his coat pocket and handed it to him. Then he took out a bottle from the other pocket and took a swig.
"You have endured a lot of hardships in order to return to your motherland. No matter what your previous life was like, home will always be your warm harbor! This bottle of wine is specially left for you, my dear home!"
Huang He looked at the Siberian man helplessly. He opened the bottle, smelled it with his nose, and then took a big sip.
The pungent and strong smell of alcohol filled the small space. Even after staying in the north for so long, he still wasn't used to the smell of vodka.
Fenjiu with rich taste and layered texture is more suitable for his stomach.
He tightened the bottle cap and snatched the driver's bottle, and then said in standard Russian: "You drink less, we have to drive for more than 20 days, and I don't want to ride in a drunkard's car."
.”
Makarov Sharogradsky looked at the Yellow River with some resentment. For him, being without wine was a very painful thing.
"Huang, you are good at everything, but you are too serious! You are just like my instructor! Don't you know my drinking capacity? If I have enough wine, I can drink until the end of the mission."
The two met not long ago. Huang He had just arrived at Makarov's troops before setting off on this mission, and his superiors told him to send this man back to his homeland.
Makarov has been running back and forth on this transportation line for more than two years, and this is the first time he has encountered such a task. He has always been familiar with it, and he immediately made friends with this new man with his curiosity and wine.
Friends who came here, the two of them had a drink and officially got to know each other, and they officially set off home the next day.
For this enthusiastic Siberian man, Huanghe was grateful to him from the bottom of his heart. After all, he had to be taken care of by others when he returned home, and he no longer had to be crowded with supplies on the road.
Although Huang He stopped him from drinking in the car, Makarov was not angry, but was still very concerned about his friend's future life.
"Huang, is your work in the Second Special Design Bureau not going well? Why should you give up all your years of hard work?"
"And I have been performing transportation tasks in your country a lot in the past two years. I won't have a decent research environment after I return."
When he heard this, Huang He thought of the war-torn motherland and his compatriots who were homeless and separated from their families. His eyes were full of fighting spirit and he said to Makarov:
"Your country was not always strong from the beginning. It needs people from all walks of life to build it. Just as you can travel on arduous transportation routes without hesitation, I also want to contribute to my country."
"My country needs me. Even if the road ahead will be difficult, even if I may die in a war, there are thousands of comrades with me there."
"There is a saying in our country called fallen leaves returning to their roots."
"Last year, a very famous modern poem was born. There is a sentence in it that I like very much. Why do I often have tears in my eyes? Because I love this land deeply."
Makarov didn't answer immediately, and the silence in the cab was frightening, but he was never good at hiding his emotions.
"Dawari, with people like you, a spark in the east can definitely turn into a prairie fire!"
When he said this, he did not look at Huang He, but his firm tone made people extremely at ease. Huang He looked at his side face and showed a heartfelt smile.
While the two were talking, the convoy was still driving day and night on the Gobi Desert. In two days, it would be a rugged mountain road. The task of the transport team was to deliver the materials they carried to the anti-Japanese troops and then bring them back.
Some raw materials and gold they need.
This team consists of three automobile battalions and an independent automobile company.
The vehicle operation carried twenty 37mm anti-tank guns and 10,000 rounds of artillery shells, five 76mm mountain guns and 5,000 rounds of artillery shells, 300 Degtyaryov machine guns, 40 Maxim heavy machine guns, and 7.62mm rifles.
It has 3 million rounds of ammunition and 1.5 million rounds of 7.9mm rifle ammunition.
Moreover, this transportation mission is the largest this year, and even airplanes were transported.
It's just that the aircraft is split into different parts. The wings, tail, propellers, spare parts, etc. are installed in the car compartment, and the fuselage is mounted on the compartment.
The independent automobile company carried the weapons and materials prepared by Huanghe for the base area, which was the wealth he had saved over the years.
As the sun was about to set, the transport troops finally arrived at the supply depot along the way.
They also saw a pack transport team composed of more than 300 camels passing by. After chatting with the fellow villagers, Huang He learned that they were going to exchange wool for gasoline, ammunition and other supplies, and then exchanged the
Give things to people who need them.
This transportation route is located in the rear area far away from the war. The experienced soldiers always hold some entertainment activities while having fun. Beside the fire not far away, several soldiers danced the Cossack dance with the political commissar like a heckler.
Accompanied by cheerful music, a group of officers and soldiers kicked their legs forward in a squatting or half-squatting posture. The entire dance was dominated by squatting and jumping movements. Their legs were stretched as straight as possible, and in some parts they had to squat quickly.
Kick your legs and spin in circles.
"Really unbreakable knees!"
From time to time, prairie cavalry songs played on the accordion were heard in the camp.
Seeing Huang He, who was facing the crowd but lost in thought, Makarov came next to him with a dinner. Today's dinner is the classic canned tusanka stewed Siberian three delicacies, and the staple food is pancakes, which is very special
The chaos of the battlefield is still very tempting.
"Lubyanka's potatoes are good at raising people~ Entering the big hotel feels like going home. Everyone in the hotel is talented and speaks nicely. I really like being there."
"They are all amazing. Even those of us who run this road all year round may not always be able to get home safely. And they all volunteered to participate in transportation. Several families I met last year either died on the road.
, or go bankrupt."
"You will win. Sooner or later the invaders will be driven away by you."
Although Huang He is not a fragile person, reliable comrades are always so reassuring. After eating, the transport team replenished fuel and started a new journey.
At this time, Huang He was leaning against the glass window, sleeping with his right arm on his pillow. He would need to change Makarov for the evening journey, so he needed to rest as soon as he had the chance.
Suddenly, an impassioned piece of music sounded in his mind, followed by a thrilling narration.
"We sacrificed our lives in the last war, but you turned your promise to us into nothing!
We worked hard to bring this country into modernity, but you exploited us at every opportunity!
While we are fighting bloody battles against powerful enemies, you are not willing to provide even the slightest bit of help!
Now, our war has become your war.
The gentlemen who feasted on flesh and blood with dignity were eventually coveted by wild beasts.
We stand together against the country that threatens our land.
From now on, we will fight side by side and drive the invaders down into the sea step by step
But no one will ever forget the price we paid to win our freedom.
While enduring the arrogance, waiting for the opportunity
Now, let the world see the greatness of our nation!"
"Hello host, we finally meet each other. The system is currently in read-only mode and will be fully unlocked after arriving at the base."
After hearing the voice in his mind, Huang He was trembling with excitement. This system has been silent for so many years, and finally there is movement!
