In 1958, General Sun Jixian, then commander of the 20th Army, was engaged in the daily training of the troops as usual, but he suddenly received orders from his superiors and accepted a special task. And because of a mysterious phone call, the 100,000 soldiers of the 20th Army, who had participated in the volunteer army, disappeared overnight.
General Sun Jixian's 20th Army has made many good achievements on the battlefield, especially during the Battle of Chosin Lake, the 20th Army has stubbornly dragged down the enemy's reinforcements, creating favorable conditions for our army to completely annihilate the enemy. It was also because of this battle that the 20th Army was called the "Tiger Army" and was deeply trusted by the superiors. In 1958, however, the unit suddenly received a mysterious mission, and this mission was extraordinary.
At that time, General Sun Jixian received a mysterious phone call, which was made by General Xiao Hua, and since Xiao Hua was Sun Jixian's old superior, General Sun answered the phone and began to greet him and expressed his condolences to his old superior. However, General Xiao Hua's tone was unusually solemn, and he entrusted a mysterious task to Sun Jixian. General Sun Jixian hung up the phone with tears in his eyes, and then gave orders to the army and prepared to go.
At dawn the next day, Sun Jixian dragged 100,000 soldiers onto the train, claiming to be going on a field training exercise. Although I don't know what the commander is going to do? But the soldiers were well aware that this field training must be extraordinary. The train traveled all the way west, eventually reaching the endless desert and the Gobi. Later, after the car tossing and turning, the soldiers finally fell into a desert, the environment here can be said to be quite harsh, even can be said to be grassless, but the soldiers are full of passion, they are determined to do a big cause.
In the following time, the warriors have been working hard in this desolate land, but with the endless work, the enthusiasm of the warriors has gradually cooled, because they do not know what they are doing. However, with General Xiao Hua's personal inspection, the soldiers slowly became full of self-confidence, because they understood that what they were engaged in must be an extraordinary project. It wasn't until 1964 that Sun Jixian received an order to return with his troops, a full six years after the soldiers had arrived. Just two months later, the continent's first atomic bomb was successfully exploded at Lop Nur and made the whole country boil. And the soldiers of the 20th Army did not understand until this moment that they were engaged in such a great project.
