The sun sets in the west and rises in the east, and at 8:20 in the morning, a white cloud like a silk thread cuts the morning light into two ends, and the diffuse light wordlessly reminds people that it is a new day.

Hotan Airport is a military-civilian airport, and the annual passenger throughput is only four or five hundred thousand.

With an average of seven flights per week, in fact there are not many passengers per day. On Wednesday, the airport was even more deserted, standing near the tarmac, where An Li waited with local leaders in Hotan City and Pishan County for the arrival of the passenger plane.

"It's really rare, I've been working in Hotan for so many years, and it's the first time I've seen a condolence group of this scale."

Senior Colonel Wu Guocheng, commander of the Hotan City Military Division, expressed his feelings.

A 737 passenger plane was directly full, and the condolence materials were directly transported by a cargo plane dispatched from the war zone.

And after Senior Colonel Wu Guocheng started talking, everyone present also joined the discussion.

"This shows that our military-civilian joint construction is fruitful. The troops have no veil of mystery and have narrowed the distance between them and the people, so that they can be regarded as the people's army. ”

"And the condolence group from the capital this time, the membership is not simple, and it is better for them to publicize what they have seen with their own eyes than for ordinary people to speculate wildly and deliberately exaggerate or belittle the image of our PLA."

With their own considerations, these officers and officers expressed their opinions backwards, and when they achieved mutual recognition, they also completely eliminated the sense of distance that had been caused by the first meeting.

The lively conversation came to an abrupt end with a shrill whistling.

Although they had heard a lot of sounds of transport planes taking off and landing during the hour they were waiting for the plane, this time the sound from far and near was obviously different from those military green planes.

I don't know who shouted: "Look, it's coming." ”

Everyone standing below instantly looked at the northeast sky with concern.

In the clear blue sky, a silver-white passenger plane was like a giant bird in the clouds, and in the blink of an eye, it was a little larger in the line of sight.

The ground staff at the airport had already been notified and made all preparations. As the whistling sound became louder and louder, the passenger plane gradually filled everyone's field of vision, and the take-off and landing gear slowly opened, and at the moment of ground contact, the fuselage was visible to the naked eye with a slight tremor.

When the local staff informed An Li that they had landed safely and could go to meet them, the group hurriedly walked up, and at the same time, the number of buses that had been prepared for a long time also slowly drove to the side of the plane door with their footsteps. 、

The first to walk out of the hatch is naturally the initiator and leader of this condolence group.

The initiator is the CEO of a company headquartered in Beijing, and the team leader this time, wearing a military uniform, and a second-level civilian on his shoulder, clearly told everyone who came to pick up the airport that the affiliated unit of the condolence group this time.

As the passengers on the plane rushed out, many people they had seen or had not seen on TV walked towards one after another, and they consciously stood in several columns in order.

Just when An Li shook hands with several leaders in front of him, Huo Xianmin behind him suddenly pushed his back, and when An Li turned his head, Huo Xianmin's chin was slightly raised in the direction of the cabin door.

An Li fixed his eyes and saw that Han Yuhua was among them.

For a moment, An Li forgot to continue walking.

"What's going on with Shen Yun, why don't you know if your family members come over?"

If I knew that this was the case, then I should have asked Shen Yun to come over today. With the relationship between Shen Yun and Han Yuhua, the reception of the condolence group should also be more handy.

Huo Xianmin smiled helplessly: "Obviously, he definitely didn't know in advance." In this adaptation training, our external mailing address is still in northern Xinjiang, and the battalion commander probably didn't tell his family. ”

"Xiao Han must have come here with a political task this time, and I guess I didn't think to tell the battalion commander, this time I came and went, and it was natural that I didn't understand each other."

This explanation is reasonable, An Li didn't say anything more, nodded, and already had a plan in his heart - no matter what, Shen Yun must be brought down in the past two days of the condolence performance, and no matter how bad it is, he must also come to serve as a bridge between the two sides.

Thinking of this, An Li rolled his eyes and quietly reported the situation to Colonel Wu Guocheng in front of him.

When Shen Yun received the next call, he had already followed the officers and soldiers of the Shenxian Bay outpost on patrol all afternoon.

Life at the outpost was no different from their previous training, and after breakfast, they would rest for a short period of time before going out on patrol and on-site training in batches.

The officers and men of the outpost deliberately took care of Shen Yun, who had just arrived, and thought that during the time when the oxygen partial pressure was lowest in the morning, the officers and men of the outpost went to patrol, while Shen Yun and the others stayed at the station for basic training.

Different from the high-intensity training on land, every movement here is equivalent to sprinting to the limit of the human body, so the intensity is not very high, but it is better to have endurance and patience.

Shooting training, an hour, after the gun, and then concentrate on aiming in the cold snow, even though the officers and men of the Tiger Battalion had already conducted training for more than four months, they were still a little unable to parry when they arrived here.

Many people feel that it is much more comfortable to exercise as little as possible on the plateau and reduce the body's need for oxygen.

This perception cannot be said to be completely wrong, after all, from a physiological point of view, it is indeed true.

But on the plateau, in addition to low oxygen, there is also low temperature and strong ultraviolet rays.

When aiming in the lying position, although the body remains stable, the abdomen is pressed with snow, the body is cold, and the back shines on the sun, especially after eleven o'clock, that slight warmth makes the body completely fall into the temperature conflict.

The biggest effect of this conflict is that it can make the body feel an itch.

The willpower is a little worse, and I definitely can't help but scratch it with my hands.

Although this situation would have been encountered in Shen Yun's previous training, it was far less obvious than it was today.

The afternoon patrol also made the officers and men of the Tiger Battalion feel that the soldiers at the plateau outpost were not so easy to serve.

It's summer, and you can feel the temperature of the sun when you aim in the morning when you're lying down, but once you walk, it's not like that.

Don't look at them walking outside wearing summer training uniforms, but inside the clothes, thermal underwear is not counted, and cotton vests lined with animal hair will be put on them.

In the same way, dog hair, wool, and cow hair are best. These things were bought by the warriors themselves from the herdsmen below the mountain and then sewn by themselves.

Only in this way can we ensure that in such an environment, the body will not go out and freeze once.
