Leaving is not a simple matter.

Although the time was relatively tight, Shen Yun didn't want to go quietly like this. Because although I have only lived here for more than half a year, it is more unforgettable than any previous life.

To truly regard yourself as a border guard from the heart, when you leave, you are destined to do one thing, which must be done.

When the vehicles sent by his superiors to transport them were still nearly a day's way away from the station, Shen Yun took the officers and soldiers of the Tiger Battalion and drove in batches to the Shenxian Bay outpost, which was known as the forbidden area of life.

I didn't get notice in advance, and seeing that Shen Yun suddenly brought such a large group of people, Company Commander Xiao was a little confused:

"Chief, what's wrong? Why did you suddenly take so many comrades up the mountain? ”

He still trusts Shen Yun's character, although he has some doubts, but it has not reached the level of vigilance.

Facing Company Commander Xiao's inquiry, Shen Yun nodded: "We have received a new mission and are about to leave here." Although we have not carried out specific patrol tasks for most of the past six months, in any case, in terms of establishment, we are also border guards. ”

"Since you are leaving, of course, you must not forget the old traditions of the border guards."

Hearing Shen Yun's explanation, Company Commander Xiao immediately burst out laughing.

What Shen Yun said has actually been discussed by various outposts for a long time. The Tiger Battalion has been carrying out very intense training for so long since it left for the Karakoram Pass.

Although the Tiger Battalion had not patrolled the border line for a single day, it had been able to survive and train in the cold zone at an altitude of more than 4,700 meters for such a long time, and the outposts had long regarded the Tiger Battalion as a family.

When they knew that Shen Yun and they didn't stay here for a long time, many people were wondering if Shen Yun had regarded themselves as border guards.

Now it seems that no matter what the other officers and soldiers of the Tiger Battalion are, Shen Yun, the military commander, already has the factor of their border guards in his spirit.

"Chief, in half an hour, we are going out to patrol, why don't you follow us. We are very familiar with every boundary monument here. Save you from taking the wrong path. ”

At this point, the officers and soldiers who were brought in understood that the purpose of Shen Yun bringing them here was related to the boundary monument.

In turn, many people remembered the legend that seemed to have some impressions.

Legend has it that when every border guard leaves, he personally wipes down the border monuments they have patrolled. The stele engraved with the word "Huaxia" will become the last most beautiful memory of their barracks.

Thinking about this, everyone's bodies trembled slightly.

A qualified soldier is destined to uphold honor. Those who can come to the Tiger Battalion are destined to be qualified soldiers.

Therefore, wiping the cold boundary monument with their own hands also means a high honor to them. To be able to have a border guard experience is not just a topic of conversation for them in the future when their children and grandchildren are full.

More importantly, they can prove the value of their youth in this way.

Hundreds of people took turns to take oxygen, and then rested in place, but the half-hour wait seemed so long.

When they heard the voice of Company Commander Xiao walking up to Shen Yun to ask for instructions, the officers and soldiers seemed to have spent a century with difficulty.

Of course, with this request, they were still a little mentally poor because of the severe hypoxic environment, and they instantly became excited. Because walking out of the gates of this outpost means a sacred ritual in which they will play the leading role.

The nearest boundary monument is not far from Sanctuary Bay. After all, on this section of the border line, there is a change of direction every one or two kilometers, and the role of boundary pillars is quite prominent at this time.

The boundary monument that Shen Yun and the others encountered this time was a single basic boundary monument made of marble. Because it was only a small angle of the border line turn, the base of the boundary pillar was only poured with concrete to a square foot.

The half-man-tall boundary monument was angular and angular, and even though there were flakes of snow covering the place on top, it was still very different from the surrounding mountains that were completely covered in snow and ice.

On this monument, Shen Yun seemed to be able to see the figures of ordinary border guards one after another, straightened his spine, and silently opposed it, turning the heavy military salute into a wordless thought.

Company Commander Xiao and his entourage naturally couldn't stay here for a long time, and after saying goodbye in a hurry, the officers and soldiers of Shenxian Bay began to continue to fulfill their mission.

And Shen Yun and his entourage, at this time, stood quietly on this stone monument that was blown cold by the wind and snow.

"Let's wipe it, these hundreds of people, all of them are light, the stone is too brittle."

After looking at it for a while, Shen Yun turned around and greeted. The officers and men of one company began to use the towels they had brought with them when they came, one after the other, carefully starting from the top and carefully wiping them down.

It was precisely because there were not many people who went up at one time that the work was carried out for a full hour before it was finally completed.

At this moment, no one is warm on their bodies. But Shen Yun could see that although the cold began to shiver, no one's eyes were impatient and perfunctory.

"After today, we're going to get out of here. Eight months of hard training, in addition to the plateau red on our faces, left us with many, many memories here. And we, except for the sweat and tears that have long been turned into soldiers, there is no trace of it. ”

"Wipe this boundary marker, it just means that we are about to leave here. But the spirit of sacrifice and dedication of the border guards who are not afraid of hardship and I hope to be able to integrate it into the minds of each of us. ”

"After this exercise, whether you are facing demobilization or being promoted, do not forget that you spent eight months at an altitude of 4,700 meters. So in the future, apart from life and death accidents, what else can there be, more difficult than facing life and death in the past eight months. ”

"In addition to sacrifice and dedication, I think you should also remember courage and responsibility. I believe that there are many difficulties in the world that we cannot solve, but I also believe that there are no difficulties in the world that we cannot face. ”

"If so, think about us standing here today."

Many people burst into tears when they said the sensational words, but Shen Yun had lost the passion to continue. Feelings are certainly the main theme of this visit, but in addition to feelings, something extra is always needed to make it seem less monotonous.

"Now, salute our boundary monument and the countless predecessors who shed their blood for the land under our feet."

If An Li could see this scene with his own eyes, he would definitely be deeply impressed by Shen Yun's timely ideological education.
