Chapter 62: The end of the training, the monument heals the heart, and the water goes down the mountain!

About half an hour later.

Shi Jianxiong had a small meeting with the lieutenant.

Taking advantage of this moment, Li Xiu also learned the identity of the captain from Dong Xing. He was the company commander of the Sixth Company of the Seventh Border Defense Regiment. His name was Zhao Guoqiang. He led the entire company stationed at the 734 Post at the front.

And soon, Zhao Guoqiang came back.

After coming back, I couldn't help but look at Li Xiu a few more times.

However, soon, Zhao Guoqiang looked at the people in the recruit company, nodded slowly, and said: "Although the time was delayed for half a day due to heavy snow."

"But... you are all good."

"One hundred and twenty kilometers, marching in the snow, four days and three nights!"

"Not bad, very good. I didn't lose the flesh and blood of a good man!"

The recruits held their heads high and their bodies straight.

"This is Post 734, one of the frontline posts of our army against Tianzhu. The altitude is as high as 3,211 meters, and the highest station point is as high as 3,821 meters. It is one of the few areas in the Xinjiang region where the altitude exceeds 3,000 meters and altitude sickness may occur.

.”

"If any of you feel unwell or have difficulty breathing, you need to report to me immediately."

Zhao Guoqiang gave a brief introduction, and then said: "This is the end point of your training. You originally planned to rest here for a day, and then military vehicles will transport you back."

"But due to the heavy snow and road closures and everyone's fatigue, the superiors have decided to allow you to adjust for two days before returning!"

"Now, everyone, follow me."

With that said, Zhao Guoqiang turned his back and led everyone in the recruit company forward.

I don't know if he felt the tension and severity at the border. Zhao Lei, who usually talked the most, was looking straight ahead with bright eyes at this time.

Soon, everyone came to a stone tablet.

The stele is very small, only reaching between the calves.

There are lots of names on it.

The snow had stopped yesterday, but the wind had not stopped. It was blowing on everyone's faces like a knife cutting them.

Everyone's expressions were extremely solemn.

No matter how stupid the recruits are, they still know that the stone monument in front of them is very heavy.

"Since our Seventh Border Guard Regiment was stationed at the border of Xinjiang, a total of forty-one soldiers have stayed here forever. Among these people, the youngest is only twenty-one years old.

Some of their deeds have been reported, and some have not.

Some have left traces in other parts of the world, and some may be the only ones whose names I remember. But no matter how bad the environment is, no matter how difficult the task is, they are not afraid or shrinking. They are heroes.

The stone monument in front of you is very small, and it cannot accommodate too many people. But... when you come to the Seventh Border Defense Regiment, you must be aware, pass on their will, and fulfill your responsibilities as a field border guard!!"

"Do you... have any confidence?" Zhao Guoqiang shouted at the recruits.

"have!"

Everyone shouted at the top of their lungs with firm expressions.

"A moment of silence for all."

After Zhao Guoqiang said this, he said no more and looked at the stone tablet.

Everyone lowered their heads and looked at the names on the stone tablet, with pictures flashing in their minds.

The cold wind blew all day long, the distant mountains were severe, and the snow covered my knees.

High altitude, intense and boring work, day after day.

The seemingly infinitely beautiful territory is full of great dangers.

The responsibility of the border guards is to isolate dangers outside the defense line and not retreat even one step.

Humans are emotional creatures, and at this moment, the recruits were all shocked in their hearts.

Especially some of the new recruits suddenly understood why the veterans had so many emotions about Li Xiuchang's "Lonely Warrior".

Who said that only those who stand in the light are heroes?

This group of people guarded silently in the dark night.

Seeing this, Zhao Guoqiang spoke again: "What you have been assigned to...is the border guard force."

"It is the sharp knife of the country"

"A sharp knife must be stronger and sharper than the armies in other areas!"

"Now, facing heroes and martyrs, I ask you if you have this ambition!"

Zhao Guoqiang shouted.

"have!"

The recruits roared in unison and said.

"Very good. I believe that when the heroes and martyrs see how good our country is now, they will look up to the sky and roar, drink and sing loudly."

The end point of the recruit company's training is the national border.

It is the most authentic frontline and the most authentic outpost.

Whether it's a dangerous environment, a tense atmosphere, or a tragic monument.

This gave the new recruits a huge impact.

Li Xiu understood that it was precisely because the soldiers used their bodies to build an insurmountable solid defense line for the border that the mountains and rivers were safe today.

Brush brush brush.

Everyone saluted in unison.

Li Xiu and other recruits witnessed the tension and hardship on the front line and mourned the heroes.

Everyone’s spiritual will has been sublimated.

This kind of feeling can only be felt by standing in front of the densely packed small stone tablets and truly feeling the icy cold wind and the endless ice and snow here.

………………

night.

The new recruits rest at Post 734.

After all, the 120-kilometer training exercise greatly consumed the recruits' physical strength and spirit.

Therefore, the recruits will not be allowed to rush back on foot, but military vehicles will be sent to take the recruits back to their original companies.

Of course, I won’t take the snowy road in an uninhabited area.

It would be too perverted to continue walking on snowy roads in uninhabited areas.

The outpost station where Li Xiu was assigned was very special and dangerous.

It is not clustered together with other garrison points, but is located on a platform protruding forward among the towering mountains.

Li Xiu and Li Dazhuang were assigned here together.

The terrain of the station is steep, with a vertical height of about 400 meters from the ground.

When Li Xiu just arrived, it was half past nine in the evening.

Except for three sentries on duty, the rest of the soldiers gathered around a pure black radio station.

The radio station is old and there is still a hissing noise when playing.

However, the soldiers listened very seriously.

"What you are listening to now is zy People's Broadcasting Station, a literary network, cheers to the motherland. Here, we extend cordial greetings to people of all ethnic groups, regions and overseas Chinese across the country. This episode's program is..."

"..."

Li Xiu did not disturb them, but was very touched.

There is no electricity here, let alone TV, so the daily [News Network] is listened to on the radio.

As for this kind of literary and artistic network broadcast, Li Xiu and the others are in the company and can still see the picture, but here they can only listen to the sound of the song.

Li Xiu felt touched when he thought that this was the only way for the soldiers stationed in the border area to understand the outside world.

After listening to the literary broadcast, platoon leader Wang Guoqing also felt at ease.

"Are you this year's recruits? Haha, it's not bad to be able to reach this point in the Snowy Mountains." Wang Guoqing said with a smile: "I heard that you also arrested armed poachers?" Wang Guoqing looked very curious and said with a naive smile: "

I’m very well-informed, right?”

Before Li Xiu could say anything, Li Dazhuang pointed at Li Xiu and said, "Platoon leader, our squad deputy has made a great contribution in capturing the armed poachers!"
