Movie Variety Show: Starting from a New World

同登要塞的这场爆炸，炸死包括越3师12团团长及以下共计600人和公安军12团100余人还有数目不等的民兵部队，共计大概有一千人直接或者间接死于这场剧烈的爆炸中。

It was because of this explosion that the Type 72 mines arranged by Zhao Cheng became useless. The people who were chasing him were knocked to the ground by the shock wave of the explosion. After they woke up, they could only retreat to rescue their companions, thus avoiding the fate of being ambushed by mines.

The news of the explosion of Tongdeng Fortress spread as fast as it could, and it was impossible to conceal it, because not only the Yue Army knew about it, but even the Flower-Growing Army, which was secretly gathering troops on the opposite side, knew about it.

At this time, when the fire of the explosion appeared in the field of vision of our scouts in the opposite position of Tongdeng, they were almost scared because the mushroom cloud was so spectacular that we could see it clearly even from dozens of kilometers away.

At the 163rd Division Command Headquarters at Jigong Mountain in Pingxiang, Division Commander Bian frowned unconsciously as he listened to his subordinates' report, because the news was too strange.

"Is the news true? What is the Tongdeng Fortress across the way? How could it explode for no reason? Is it a bit exaggerated? Or are our soldiers dazzled?"

"Report to the division commander, we have confirmed it, and our border observation post did see a huge mushroom cloud rising in the direction of Tongdeng, just like the atomic bomb explosion we saw in the newspaper. The soldiers will definitely not be wrong!" The combat staff said to the division commander with a smile.

"Oh? It seems that the ungrateful guy on the opposite side got himself into trouble? He blew up his own ammunition depot? But it's just a small Tongdeng Fortress, even if the ammunition depot exploded, it can't achieve such an effect, right? Could it be that their ammunition depot is full of high explosives?" Division Commander Bian still couldn't believe it.

Because the huge mushroom cloud that can be seen from several kilometers away is no joke. How many ammunition explosions would it take to produce such a large mushroom cloud.

"It's hard to say. How about we send someone to do some reconnaissance closer? It'll only take a few hours to go back and forth, so they'll definitely be able to send back detailed intelligence." said the combat staff.

"No, now that there's such a huge explosion in the Tongdeng direction, the enemy will definitely increase their defense of the surrounding areas. If we send people over there at this time, we'll be sending sheep into the tiger's mouth. This will be a waste of our soldiers' lives. We can't do such a thing." The division commander said after thinking for a while.

"What should we do? If we don't confirm it, what if something goes wrong during our attack?" the combat staff officer asked doubtfully.

"That's easy. I'll ask the friendly forces in other directions to see if they know the situation." After the division commander said this, he picked up the phone and began to ask his superiors for instructions.

Through the phone call, the division commander confirmed one thing, that is, the army also did not know the specific situation. This aroused the division commander's curiosity, so he began to ask friendly troops on the same line of defense, and the result was the same.

The division commander became even more curious, but before he could figure out what was going on, a combat staff officer walked in.

"Report to the division commander, one of our reconnaissance troops encountered a friendly force that had been conducting reconnaissance in the border area. However, they are confused about the numbers provided by the other party, so we ask the division to check it out." The combat staff came in and said.

"What? There is such a thing? What is the opponent's number?" the commander asked curiously.

"Their number is a unit, but we have never heard of this unit. Could it be that the enemy is impersonating it?" said the combat staff officer.

"Troops? Wait a minute." The division commander picked up the phone and called the army.

"Deputy Commander, do you know? Why does this number sound so familiar to me, but I can't remember it for a while?" asked the division commander.

"How do you know?" the deputy commander asked seriously.

"The scouts on my side encountered several soldiers from this unit. They were unsure of the situation and asked me for help!" said the division commander.

"Send those people to the army. This is our own unit, the special forces of our military region! Remember to keep it secret and don't spread it downward. The specific details of this unit number are only known to the division level! Do you remember?" When the deputy army commander heard that they had met, he breathed a sigh of relief and did not forget to remind him.

"Oh, look at my brain, I remember now. I did hear the leader talk about this unit in a meeting before, but I forgot about it because it has been a long time. I immediately arranged for someone to send these people to the army!" The division commander slapped his forehead and remembered.

After hanging up the phone, the division commander turned to the operations staff and said, "These are our troops, not enemy impersonators. You arrange for them now. No, I'll go and take a look myself! Find a car and take them to the military headquarters. By the way, how many people are there?"

"Commander, there are only five of them. You'd better not go. The wolf cubs on the opposite side have offered a reward of 30,000 knives for your life. It's too dangerous for you to go out." The combat staff officer said a little embarrassedly.

"You are so stupid! Just because he puts a bounty on me, will I not go out? Am I scared by them? Let's go. I also want to see what kind of people come out of the army." The division commander scolded the staff officer with a smile, picked up his hat and went out.

Twenty minutes later, Division Commander Bian arrived at a border outpost, which was a temporary assembly point at the front, where a battalion of troops was gathered.

The division commander soon spotted the five men the operations officer had mentioned. One, wearing the uniform of the opposing Public Security Army, was clearly the oldest and also looked like the leader, his face somehow blackened. The other four were wearing Russian military uniforms, their faces painted with camouflage, clearly young men. The division commander wondered if it was an illusion, but he wondered how these men looked so similar.

When he got there, the division commander dispersed the crowd of onlookers and walked up to them alone. He carefully looked at the man in front of him, who was wearing the uniform of the Public Security Army from the opposite side.

Zhao Cheng looked at the commander who was approaching and smiled, revealing his large white teeth. "Commander Bian, long time no see!"

"Zhao Cheng?" the commander asked in disbelief.

"It's me!" Zhao Cheng said with a smile.

"Oh, why is it you, kid? It's been many years since we last met! I didn't expect that after so many years, you haven't changed at all!" Commander Bian said with a big smile and hugged Zhao Cheng.

The two can be said to be old acquaintances. Commander Bian was once an old subordinate of Ding Wei, so the two have had several interactions and have also drank together.
