The comrade of the navy walked over and gently patted the heavy snow on the shoulders of Liao Junjie, the soldier on duty at the outpost, and asked, "How is it? Can you hold on?"

Sentinel Liao Junjie didn't know what he was asking, but he was very moved by the subtle action of the battalion commander, and he said: "Report to the chief! Fortunately, you can still hold on! But this year's winter seems to be much colder than usual." The vertex update is the fastest, and the wind and snow are bigger than usual. ”

"Before, the fighters lived in tents, and it was normal for frostbite to occur in winter. Life has improved a lot now. “

Liao Junjie said very satisfied. Since the arrival of the Commander of the Hai Battalion, they have built them a very strong outpost with bricks and cement.

The tower is now divided into three levels, the first floor is used as a food storage room, the second floor is a rest area for soldiers, and the third floor is a workshop for the observation post.

Liao Junjie thinks that the design of this guard tower is very perfect, the layout is reasonable, and it does not delay things while sheltering from the wind and rain.

The only fly in the ointment is the lack of drinking water. In summer and winter, the water source of the post is located in different locations, and the three soldiers often have to walk 1 kilometer up the mountain road and pick up 200 catties of water to return to the post.

Living and working on the plateau all year round, Chen Mo, the sentry chief, can carry a 100-pound bucket on the mountain path.

"There are so many impurities in the snow water in winter that you can't drink it even if it's boiled. ”

In order to find a clean water source that can be drunk, the soldiers of the outpost searched the entire mountain, and the veteran Liao Junjie said, "Every two days, we will send three soldiers to pick up 200 catties of drinking water from a kilometer away." “

Because of the high altitude, the water boils to a degree Celsius, and the fighters at the outpost have become accustomed to cooking rice with "raw water" and drinking it with "raw water".

Liao Junjie, a veteran, said: "Drinking water has become a big problem, and it is even more impossible to take a normal bath in the mountains, so we often have to go down the mountain every week or two to the company to take a bath, and then carry the food for the next few weeks to the outpost." “

As a frontier post, compared with other troops, the way of life of the observation post located on the plateau is "very primitive", but for Chen Mo, the commander of the post, who has spent ten years at the post, everything is now very satisfying.

"Before, we fighters lived in tents, and it was normal for frostbite to occur in winter. Life has changed a lot now. ”

Chen Mo said gratefully. Outside their outpost is a continuous snow-capped mountain, and the long winter closure period is full of wind and snow.

"When I go to bed at night, I feel like the watchtower is shaking. Soldiers at the post said that in the cold weather, finding water became the biggest difficulty.

In the view of Zhang Guoying, the commander of the eighth company where the post is located, cold, lack of water, and loneliness are all challenges that the soldiers of the post have to face, but being on the border, the sense of responsibility to protect the family and defend the country can also make these young people grow up more quickly.

In addition, the environment on the summit is unpredictable, sometimes lightning and thunder, sometimes wind and snow; If the mountain peak is large, there is not a single grass, a tree, a bird or a beast.

The strong wind mixed with the heavy snow blurred the vision, and by the eyes, things that were a hundred meters away were invisible.

After two trips back and forth, Comrade Navy found One Piece.

"Now that the weather is starting to get worse, especially in this snowy weather, the most important thing is to take precautions, you inform all the soldiers, and let them be vigilant from now on. Lest there be accidents. ”

"Yes!" One Piece said suspiciously, "Big brother, I've always had a doubt, I don't know if I can ask for advice?"

"Didn't we come here to practice?" Comrade One Piece remembers very well, didn't he say training at the beginning?

I said that I had been going through a tough two weeks, but I survived a hard month, how did I suddenly become a real garrison again!?
