Arrived at destination on time for the first time in a row.
This is surprising.
But there is something even more surprising at the same time.
When Qi Sheng crossed the finish line, he didn't throw up. Instead, he just squatted aside and burst into tears.
It is rare for soldiers to shed tears.
Not to mention an officer.
Perhaps because he was afraid of being laughed at, Qi Sheng hid aside.
However, he was discovered by the attentive instructor Mo San.
Mo San came up and asked, "What's wrong with you, Lao Qi? Why are you crying? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
At first, I thought it was too uncomfortable for Qi Sheng to run, and he cried because of the discomfort.
As a result, Qi Sheng wiped the corners of his eyes and said it was okay, I didn't cry.
Mo San has a bad temper, so he kept asking about this matter and said, "Stop talking about it. I even saw you shed tears just now and dropped them to the ground."
Qi Sheng wiped the corners of his eyes and said that it was sweat, it was sweat, Lao Mo, you saw it wrong!
Mo San stopped dwelling on this issue and helped him up, saying, "Go for a walk. Don't squat. Don't get cramps later."
Li Zheng stood at the finish line and looked at his watch. After the whole company arrived, there were 21 seconds left.
In the last section, the whole company exhausted all the remaining energy and rushed to the finish line with a lot of energy.
This continuous outstanding performance surprised him.
He seemed to understand why Brigadier Zhuang Yan arranged to run again in five days.
Although the physical fitness of the officers and soldiers of the first company has indeed improved due to the previous continuous high-intensity physical training, it is like digging a pond. The pond is dug larger and can hold more water. However, no water is stored during the digging process, no matter how big the pond is. It's no use if there's no water in it.
Resting for five days actually means allowing the pool to slowly recover and fill up with water.
Only when the water is filled can the capacity expansion effect be revealed.
With this question, Li Zheng asked Zhuang Yan if this was the reason.
Zhuang Yan didn't deny it, saying that you have been the deputy company commander for so long, don't you even understand this?
Li Zheng's face suddenly turned red.
He solemnly sighed and said: "You have been very good since you were a soldier, but you also have a weakness. You were assigned too many tasks back then, and you basically had no time to go to the teaching team to participate in the pre-preparation squad leader training, and you never came back to lead soldiers. For The grassroots leaders lack experience. The reason why I understand this is because I encountered this kind of problem myself and knew how to solve it, so..."
He nodded vigorously to Li Zheng, and said in an encouraging tone: "Leading troops at the grassroots level may seem simple, but in fact there is a lot of knowledge inside. Think carefully about it in the company, and you will really have the opportunity to become a more senior officer in the future." Commander, when formulating any tactics or action plans, or even training plans, you will not be divorced from reality, do you understand?"
"Understood!" Li Zheng was very encouraged.
Zhuang Yan takes enough care of himself.
This can be seen in many ways.
For a brigade commander to be so persuasive to a deputy company commander, teaching him the knowledge of leading soldiers step by step, it would be unreasonable to say that he was not caring about him.
"First company commander!"
Zhao Chuan came over and extended an invitation in front of Qi Sheng: "Do you want to go up the mountain and have a look?"
"good!"
Qi Sheng agreed without even thinking.
Go up the mountain.
Just two words.
It couldn't be easier than it sounds.
But this is the highest affirmation for Yilian.
Not only is the 270th Squadron's military recognition of the First Company, it is also Zhao Chuan's recognition of Qi Sheng, the company commander.
If in Zhao Chuan's eyes before, Qi Sheng was just a technical officer who was good at drones, from this moment on, he was finally a qualified "old man" in Zhao Chuan's eyes.
"Everyone gather, get in formation, and follow the comrades of 270 up the mountain!"
Mo San couldn't wait to gather his team.
Looking up, the height of the snow-capped mountains does not seem so scary.
But this is standing at an altitude of more than 5,000 meters.
Here, even if a mountain seems to be several hundred meters high, its actual altitude is staggering.
"Take out your hiking poles, which are good to have in your hands, and put on the safety rope. Don't lose them halfway. If you drop something here, you may not be able to get it back!"
Zhao came to the soldiers of the first company and began to explain the precautions: "Going up the mountain is not a leisurely activity. There is snow on it. Don't think that the winter snow in your hometown is so harmless to humans and animals. The snow here is very dangerous. You must line up to follow us. Don't run around without leaving footprints. If you step into a crevice in the ice, your legs will be destroyed even if you don't die!"
In fact, without Zhao Chuan's reminder, the officers and soldiers of the first company could see that the mountain roads in this area were rugged, the ice and snow were soft, and there were cracks in the ice everywhere and rocks, snow masses, and ice cubes that could be smashed from the overhanging shore at any time. It could be said that it was full of dangers.
No one dares to take it lightly.
Zhuang Yan made arrangements for the people of the first company, with cadres in the front, soldiers in the middle, and backbone veterans with good physical fitness.
Five minutes later, everyone started walking up the foot of the mountain.
Everyone followed closely the comrades in front, paying attention to the footprints under their feet, and no one dared to walk randomly.
Even the instructor Mo San, who always liked to laugh and joke around, became serious.
In fact, the reason why he didn't dare to speak loudly was not only because the road was difficult and he had to concentrate, but he was also worried that he might accidentally lose control of his tone and cause an avalanche if his voice got too loud.
The road up the mountain was not difficult to walk at first, and the slope was not particularly steep. However, as the height gradually increased, the road began to become difficult to walk.
At first, there were only large and small rocks under my feet. As long as I paid some attention and didn't hurt my ankles, there would be no problem.
Later, snow gradually appeared, and as the snow became thicker, the stones disappeared.
Although the stone disappeared, everyone knew that it was not really disappearing, it was just hidden under the snow and invisible.
Only then did everyone understand the benefits and functions of trekking poles. They can be used for support when tired, and they can also be used to explore paths in snowy areas.
After walking up about five hundred meters, the slope suddenly slowed down, and a mountain-ridge-like landform appeared in front of us.
The terrain on the left and right sides of the mountain ridge is extremely steep, and it is covered with white snow.
From this position, if you want to continue going forward, you have to walk up the ridge of the mountain ridge. Above the ridge, the path you can walk is only less than one meter wide.
Not to mention leaving, just looking at it can make one's calves feel trembling.
"Stop the team behind you." Zhao Chuan stopped, took out his walkie-talkie and started calling Qi Sheng behind him.
"Captain Qi, take out your climbing ropes, tie them one by one, pull them both front and back, and prepare to cross the ridge. Be careful, the wind here is very strong, lower your posture when walking, I hope there is something in your backpack Don’t be shy about pretending, if you’re cutting corners, you have to find a rock in the snow and put it in yourself, don’t let Feng blow you away.”
The order was quickly passed on.
Everyone began to take out the climbing ropes according to Zhao Chuan's instructions, and linked them together class by class. The advantage of this is that if one person stumbles, the rest of the people can pull him back together. Whenever you march to such a dangerous place or at night, You can rely on this method to ensure safety when marching in dangerous situations in the mountains.
Xu Nuo poked around in the snow with a hiking pole for a while, found a stone, dug it out and put it in his backpack.
I put a piece in, thought for a moment, poked out another piece, opened the backpack and put it in.
Bai Ping on the side asked curiously: "Xu Nuo, your kid cheated?"
The implication is that Xu promised that he had not filled his backpack before and it was not heavy enough. Now he heard Zhao said that the wind was strong, so he was afraid, so he added rocks to his bag.
Xu Nuo said: "Nonsense! Am I the kind of person who is sneaky? I just want to be safe."
After saying that, he put the bag in front of the white surface: "You can try lifting it."
Bai Ping tried it, and it turned out to be much heavier than his own.
He believed that Xu Nuo had not cheated, but warned: "It's so heavy, don't be unable to hold it on later."
"It's okay! I saw that the ridge was only two to three hundred meters away. If I get over it, I'll throw it away."
But Xu Nuo will soon have a taste of this "two to three hundred meters".
The team had only climbed about thirty meters, and he felt a little out of breath. There was so much extra weight in the bag, which made it worse. He hadn't gone very far before he was out of breath and plowed more than ten acres with the old ox. Tian is equally painful.
In fact, it’s no wonder. The oxygen on the plateau is so thin. Let alone climbing mountains with heavy loads, even walking on flat ground with bare hands will soon become overwhelming. This is caused by lack of oxygen, and it takes a long time to adapt.
After adapting, various plateau symptoms may lead to hair loss, deformed nails, chapped skin, and frostbite on fingers. These are common occurrences.
The border guards stationed here have to endure the painful hypoxic environment. After returning to the low-level areas in the mainland, they still have to endure the inebriated oxygen reaction - the body that has been accustomed to the hypoxic state suddenly returns to the low-level environment with sufficient oxygen. In areas where the body cannot digest such high oxygen content, it will experience symptoms such as fatigue, weakness, drowsiness, chest tightness, dizziness, diarrhea, etc., just like being drunk.
This is relatively mild. In severe cases, symptoms such as reduced hemoglobin content, slow heart rate, increased cardiac output and blood volume, and reversal of pulmonary hypertension may occur, which is very painful.
Among all the people in the Tiger Brigade, Zhuang Yan and Li Zheng were the most relaxed.
After all, they have received plateau combat training, and have even participated in missions in such high-altitude areas, and have long adapted to the environment and altitude here.
Although this is a snowy mountain and very cold, it is not a problem for them. Their strong physiques can quickly regulate their breathing, and the muscles of the whole body relax rhythmically. The center of gravity is slightly moved forward, and the posture is slightly lowered. There is no problem at all.
When passing through the middle slope of the ridgeline, a strong wind blew over, and clumps of snow powder hit everyone like bullets, making a crackling sound. Many people almost fell to the ground, and hurriedly squatted down in fear. He didn't dare to move even half a step.
On the other hand, the members of the 270th Squadron didn't take it seriously at all.
The violent wind was something they were accustomed to. They just adjusted their center of gravity slightly and still moved forward rhythmically in the confusing wind and snow.
This is where the plateau special forces specialize. No one knows this place better than them, and no one knows the snow-covered plateau better than they do.
This is their territory, and they are the gods here.
Finally, the mountain wind finally passed, and everyone climbed through this difficult and dangerous journey in one go.
Zhao Chuan stopped on a relatively gentle hillside and announced a five-minute rest.
He came to Qi Sheng and Li Zheng and pointed towards the distance.
"Do you see it?"
Li Zheng and Qi Sheng looked in the direction of his finger.
Zhao Chuan looked proud and pointed to the distance and said: "There! That's the border, and this is where we guard. Do you know why we often come here to climb this mountain? Every time we pass here, we stay for a few minutes. Look at the view here.”
Suddenly, there was an eagle's cry from beneath my feet.
Everyone lowered their heads and looked into the distance.
I saw an eagle spreading its wings and breaking through the sky, flying over the snow-capped mountains shining with silvery white light, and hovering over this uninhabited snowfield.
Standing on the top of the snow-capped mountains, looking at the white clouds lingering among the mountains, everyone feels an inexplicable shock deep in their hearts.
This is the country.
the land of one’s own motherland.
So beautiful and so majestic.
Perhaps before I came here, guarding the border and guarding the country were just concepts in my mind.
When you actually come here, see the border, and see the land here, all the concepts of protecting the country will be most concrete, and you will be able to understand why the border guards have no regrets, and understand them That kind of dedication and loneliness, swaying his most precious youth on this uninhabited snowy plateau.
Clear love, only for China!
Asking for a monthly ticket!
