Mo Houcai also examined the map and replied: "Governor Tang, I have also looked at the map, and I am also trying to figure out the thoughts of my opponents. Still, I'm sure they must have something in mind. ”

Tang Cheng pointed to the map and said: "This Jitou Ridge, north and south is only 3 kilometers long, the terrain is not complicated, this topographic map, many years ago, there were many people who drew this Jitou Ridge, a grass and a tree, several mountains, the map is clearly marked, they are not for drawing a map." And this Jitou Ridge, the strategic location is not important, if the war starts here, less than a kilometer opposite the Jitou Ridge, is the highest point of Jiwei Mountain, if you want to choose a position, Jiwei Mountain is the best position, so the other party proposed, to enter the Jitou Ridge, it must not be for military purposes. Why did they do this if it wasn't for military purposes?"

Tang Cheng groaned and called the commander of the Fourth Regiment over, and Tang Cheng asked him: "Comrade Regiment Commander, let me ask you, according to the information we have, in the past six months until now, is there really a geological scientific expedition from the wild country. Enter this Jitou Ridge?"

The head of the regiment scratched his head and said: "This problem, we are really not easy to grasp, this is a border area, mountains and mountains, mountain paths, intertwined, and what, this turkey snow mountain, is the most famous snow mountain in Asia, not only famous in Asia, the whole world is very famous, every year in the mountaineering season in May, there will be mountaineering enthusiasts from all over the world, come to climb and conquer the big snow mountain, we are not good to screen one by one." It cannot be ruled out that it is possible to cross the mountain range from the wild country to Jitouling to carry out mountaineering and exploration activities, and the geological science expedition they call exists. ”

Tang Cheng nodded, asked this Mo Houcai and said: "Knowing oneself and knowing the other side will not be defeated in a hundred battles, but in the case of not knowing the other, we need to plan for the worst, old Mo." Tell me, once they have a search and rescue team and enter our Jitouling area, what will be the worst outcome for us?"

Lao Mo looked at the map and said, "It seems that as long as they don't carry weapons of mass destruction, there doesn't seem to be any threat to our side, militarily." I don't see that their move will affect the gap in our entire military strength and deployment, but this also needs to be seen step by step, and it will change with the change of the current situation, and the real purpose of the other side will slowly appear. ”

Tang Cheng nodded and said: "Yes, but it's better to see than to hear, we are not too far from this Jitouling, we are figuring it out on the map, it is better to investigate it on the spot, maybe, we can find the answer from the field inspection." ”

When Mo Houcai heard this, he hurriedly stopped: "No, Turkey Mountain is a snow-capped mountain, and the temperature in the mountain is very low. ”

Tang Cheng said: "It's okay, as long as we wear more warm clothes, it should be okay, besides, Jitouling is not the main peak of the Snow Mountain." In a year, the heavy snow is less than that of the main peak, and I have heard that our soldiers are stationed in Jitouling all the year round, braving the severe cold, patrolling the borders of the motherland and protecting our people. ”

Mo Houcai still wanted to persuade, but Tang Cheng was unmoved and insisted on going, Mo Houcai's persuasion was ineffective, so he had to follow Tang Cheng and let the soldiers prepare military coats, military cotton hats, military cotton shoes and other warm clothes, and then, under the close protection of the soldiers, Tang Cheng took an off-road vehicle and personally rushed to Jitouling, a cold area, to conduct an on-the-spot investigation.

Mo Houcai strengthened the protection of Tang Cheng, and the strength of the entire reinforced company followed Tang Cheng closely, and the commander of the high company did not leave the left and right. With telescopes, sleds and other equipment, Mo Houcai also did not leave an inch, followed Tang Cheng left and right, and went deep into Jitouling.

Tang Cheng came to Jitouling, got off at the mountain road, and under the protection of the soldiers, climbed the Jitouling, and looked at both sides of the Jitouling, one side is the territory of the wild country, and the other side is the territory of China.

Sure enough, this Jitouling area, although it is also said to belong to the severe cold zone, is not the main peak, is not covered by heavy snow, and 90% of the area is exposed. Tang Cheng carefully observed the terrain, and indeed did not see any clues, why did the wild people attach so much importance to Jitouling!

It seems that it is not easy to be killed here, and there is the corpse of a wild geological science explorer there! This is clearly an excuse. What did they want? The group stayed on Jitouling for a long time and walked a long way. Mo Houcai pointed to a sentry post not far in front and introduced it to Tang Cheng: "This outpost is called the Jitouling Outpost, and a sharp knife company of the Sixth Regiment of our 60th Division is stationed here, and the soldiers here are very hard. ”

Tang Cheng nodded and said, "Today is here, let's go and comfort our soldiers!" Then, Tang Cheng, accompanied by Mo Houcai and the regiment commander, entered this outpost, the commander of the outpost, the commander of the third company, gathered some of the soldiers, gathered in the small square in front of the barracks, the commander of the outpost company walked quickly in front of Tang Cheng, stood up and saluted and said: "Report to the chief, the officers and soldiers stationed at the Jitouling outpost are on duty, please instruct, Lu Shaojing, the commander of the third company." ”

Tang Cheng said: "Heighten your vigilance and continue to be on duty. ”

The commander of the third company stood upright. Then go back and give orders to the fighters.

Then, Tang Cheng shook hands with the soldiers present one by one, thanking the frontier soldiers for their hard work, Tang Cheng on behalf of the people of Monan on behalf of the people of Gannan, and expressed his sincere gratitude to the outstanding frontier soldiers. The outstretched hands of the fighters were frozen like a small loaf of bread, and some of the soldiers also had frostbite on their faces and hands. Tang Cheng saw the pain in his eyes, and Tang Cheng asked everyone kindly: "Soldiers, our sons and soldiers, are you bitter?"

The fighter replied loudly: "Serve the people, do not feel bitter." ”

Tang Cheng said: "If you don't say it, I also know that you have suffered a lot of sins and must be very bitter, but the motherland needs you! You are all the most lovely people, and the people of the motherland will never forget the sentinels on duty in the snowy frontier. ”

Tang Cheng sincerely bowed to the border guards.

Tang Cheng finished condolences to the soldiers at the outpost. Under the guidance of Mo Houcai, Mo Houcai insisted that Tang Cheng return, this place belongs to the cold region and should not stay for a long time.

Under the persuasion of everyone, Tang Cheng went back, and on the way back, he passed through a small town called Jianpei, which is the closest town to the turkey snow mountain, and the town is not big, with nearly a thousand households.
