43: Searching for the crashed plane.

"Enemy detected."

"Wait until they get closer."

"Fire!"

At this moment, in a certain artillery base, many Soldiers cheered.

"It hit!"

"Quickly send people to pursue that plane; it must not be allowed to escape."

"That's great!"

"Oh!"

"This is truly excellent!"

"That plane must have crashed."

Several commanders walked towards Lu Jing, with Division Commander Yu, who was leading them, excitedly patting Lu Jing's shoulder.

"Little Lu, well done!"

"This time, I will definitely recommend you for a commendation."

The other commanders also praised him one after another.

Xu Yang was leading his men, currently searching for the whereabouts of that plane.

For the past twenty years, USA, in conjunction with those across the sea, would come to demonstrate and provoke every New Year. There were also spies who took advantage of the New Year to stir up trouble, and some even ambushed Soldiers... For years, the Division Headquarters wanted to strike back, but their weaponry and equipment weren't good enough, so they could only watch helplessly. But now it's different; their equipment is much better than a few years ago. Everyone was holding their breath, determined to deliver a heavy blow to those enemies.

Before, reconnaissance planes from across the sea often came to provoke. Ten years ago, one was shot down using a surface-to-air missile to bring down a U-2 reconnaissance plane.

This time, the enemy is probably using a new model. If a large part of that plane can be preserved intact, our side can use it for research.

"Company Commander, it should be to the south, at least five kilometers from here."

"Let's run faster; we must be the first to find this plane."

Twenty-odd other teams were also searching for this plane.

In the County Government.

Today is New Year's Eve, and the County Government is decorated with lanterns and colorful streamers everywhere. Every household has also turned on all their lights. Families who usually couldn't bear to use electric lights would keep them on today, until tomorrow morning.

Wu Jiaojiao's face was a bit grim. She had brought Chen Ke and a few other friends to the County Government's cinema to watch a movie.

She had already heard about Xu Yang having a fiancée and knew that the woman was shameless. Although Xu Yang said he wanted to cancel the engagement with that woman, she disagreed and had been loudly proclaiming her identity as Xu Yang's fiancée at the Guesthouse.

For the past few days, she had been both angry and annoyed.

She had originally planned to meet Xu Yang these past few days to ask him about his plans. However, the Division Headquarters had assigned a mission these days, requiring everyone to stick to their posts and enter a state of combat readiness.

She also thought about going to see Xiao Yueyue, but then she felt that going to see Xiao Yueyue like that would make her lose face.

They came to watch a movie today to relax.

She couldn't be too hasty; if she kept making a fuss, Xu Yang would definitely dislike her. She had also sent people to investigate Xiao Yueyue. She heard that Xiao Yueyue's parents were ordinary workers and that she had an older brother.

Xiao Yueyue's appearance was far inferior to hers. Xu Yang wouldn't be blind enough to marry Xiao Yueyue. She was very confident in this.

"Jiaojiao, this movie today is really good."

"It's a pity Company Commander Xu isn't free today and can't come with you to watch the movie."

Chen Ke looked at Wu Jiaojiao and said with some regret.

"He's busy with work; I can't hold him back."

As Wu Jiaojiao said this, she touched her braid, a smile on her face.

"Did you hear the rumbling sound just now?"

"I heard a plane crashed."

"Many Public Security officers just passed by here."

Wu Jiaojiao and Chen Ke and the others looked at the people not far away when they heard this.

"Could it be a Military Unit plane that crashed?"

"I don't know."

"Could it be an enemy attack?"

Hearing these words, Wu Jiaojiao and Chen Ke and the others decided to quickly ride their bicycles back to the regiment.

Although the regiment had given them a day off today, they had to return to their dorms before 10 PM.

The six immediately rode three bicycles and rushed towards the regiment.

Wu Jiaojiao sat on Chen Ke's back seat, her hand grasping the fabric at Chen Ke's waist.

After riding for a while, they saw a First Team of Soldiers running towards them.

Wu Jiaojiao and Chen Ke and the others looked at that First Team of Soldiers, but they didn't recognize them. Not long after, they saw several more groups of Soldiers running past.

"The Military Unit personnel are out; is it because of the plane?"

Chen Ke asked with a curious expression.

Wu Jiaojiao didn't speak, but Liu Zhu said, "It should be."

"It should be."

"There was supposed to be a performance today, but it was canceled. What a pity," Chen Ke said with some regret.

"I heard it's postponed, not canceled entirely."

Not long after, they arrived outside the Guesthouse. The Guesthouse was brightly lit at this moment.

Xiao Dong and Xiao Yueyue, hearing the plane sound just now, also came out to watch. When they saw the plane being hit, they were startled. They didn't know what was going on.

Later, seeing a large number of Soldiers running outside, Xiao Dong thought a war was about to break out.

"Is there going to be a war? Should we run?"

Xiao Dong would get scared whenever he encountered dangerous situations.

Hearing this, Xiao Yueyue looked at her father.

"Dad, what nonsense are you talking about? Where is safer than the Military Unit? It's just one plane; maybe it was an accident..."

Xiao Yueyue felt that nowhere was as good as the Military Unit; it was safer here.

After a while, the two went to the entrance to inquire.

"comrade, what just happened?"

Seeing Xiao Yueyue, the Guesthouse comrade said,

"It seems there was an enemy attack, and that plane was shot down by our Soldiers," the Female Comrade at the Guesthouse said with a smile.

They had also seen the situation just now. Although they didn't know the specifics, they had seen the plane being hit from afar. So, this was a great joyous occasion.

One must know that for so many years, those enemies had been provoking them. Before, those reconnaissance planes and such would come to provoke them every New Year and holiday.

After the reconnaissance plane was shot down, the enemy brought some new models over.

Although they were just Guesthouse comrades, they had heard some things about this.

Xiao Dong breathed a sigh of relief when he heard what happened.

"Daughter, Xu Yang promised to get you a job. Go to the Supply and Marketing Cooperative; this is something others would pay to get into but can't..."

That's dozens of yuan a month! If he didn't have a job in Wang County, he would also want to work here.

But now, the most important thing is to have Xu Yang marry his daughter.

"You call Grandpa Xu and Grandma Xu with Dad to wish them a Happy New Year."

Hearing this, Xiao Yueyue was overjoyed.

"Okay."

Xiao Dong had already memorized the Xu Family's phone number, and he was calling it now.

On the other end of the phone, when Grandpa Xu heard that it was someone from the Xiao Family wishing them a Happy New Year, he immediately picked up the phone.

"Hello."

"Is that Uncle Xu? I'm Xiao Dong. I'm calling today to wish you and Aunt Xu a Happy New Year..."

Xiao Dong was still good at saying pleasantries.
