Chapter 7 The Iceberg Visitor

It is a steep mountain with a height of 400 meters, and its whole body is covered with the eternal ice and snow of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and from a distance, it looks like a silver-white giant tower, shining with cold and bright light in the sunlight. In this realm, which almost no life can conquer, there are vertical cliffs at 90-degree angles everywhere, and in the sedimentation year after year, no one knows how thick the layer of ice and snow on its body is, and it is impossible to see what color it is.

Two cadets of the Fifth Special Forces Elite Training School stood under this iceberg, and they both squinted their eyes and tried to look upward. And halfway up this iceberg, a lonely figure is climbing upwards little by little.

"You bastards!"

Long Jianhui led the other students to run by, he raised his hand and slapped the two students a few times, he pointed to the mountain peak above his head, and roared: "You bastards only ran to the snow mountain, so you dare to let your companions conquer this iceberg?" Are you too arrogant, or do you want your companions to die?! Immediately report to me what tools you brought with you in the Battle Hero Song! ”

A cadet with a bright red palm print on his face shouted, "Report to the instructor!" Zhan Xia Song brought three sabers, three bayonets, a sapper shovel, a roll of special climbing rope with a length of 450 meters, a bag of sugar, a bottle of soju, a single soldier's sleeping bag, two lighters, fifteen individual self-heating rations, two cans of butter, five liters of gasoline, and a small vaporizer that could support a miniature oxygen cylinder for thirty minutes......"

Another student whispered, "There is still ...... Instructor, you have two boxes of cigarettes that I secretly took from your car yesterday. ”

"The kid is quite well prepared, and he actually stretched out the thief's claws to my instructor's head!" Long Jianhui didn't laugh angrily, he looked at the warrior song who had climbed a hundred meters above his head, and snorted coldly: "But you guys are too underestimating the icebergs on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, right?" Well, I would like to see what a cadet who can continuously win the Medal of Honor for the Earth, the Jungle, and the Mountain can do something when he comes to my snow training ground! ”

The splitter snatched the radio communicator from a student, and Long Jianhui said: "Battle Song, I am Instructor Long Jianhui!" Don't look down, I'm at the foot of the mountain you're climbing right now! Don't answer me, just listen to my every word! ”

"I will not order you to come down again, because the average slope of the iceberg you are climbing now is eighty degrees, and it is a dead end that can only go forward, not backward! Even if you regret it now, you won't find a way to get it back! If you want to survive, there is only one way, which is to keep climbing until you reach the top of the iceberg, and then find a way to fix the 450-meter-long special climbing rope on your body to the peak, and then use it to climb down! ”

There was a heavy wheezing sound from the radio communicator that almost shattered the lobes of the lungs, and Long Jianhui said in a deep voice: "I believe you have begun to understand the power of the plateau by now, right?" I've heard about the equipment and supplies you carry, and they add up to more than thirty kilograms. The concentration of oxygen in the air on the plateau is only 47 percent of that on flat ground, and even if you have empty hands, it is equivalent to carrying a weight of 20 kilograms, and the higher you climb, the more pressure you will have. In other words, you are carrying a weight of 50 to 60 kilograms on your back to conquer an iceberg as high as 400 meters with a few bayonets, which are so rudimentary tools that could not be more rudimentary! ”

"I order you, as soon as you find a suitable place, throw away all the unnecessary equipment on your body and travel as light as possible! Otherwise, if you slip under your feet, I will have to collect your body at the foot of this mountain!" ”

"Poof!"

The bayonet in the warrior singer stabbed into the unmelted ice in front of him, his left hand tightly wrapped his palm with a strip of cloth, and the five fingers exposed to the air had been frozen white, but they could still effectively hook a piece of protruding ice, he tried his best to keep his body close to the iceberg, avoiding the heavier and heavier mountain wind, he gasped a few times, trying to restrain the altitude dizziness caused by the rapid loss of physical strength, hoarse, and whispered: "I can do it!" ”

"Isn't that a weight of thirty kilograms? I don't believe that the two seniors who carry the red flag on their bodies, can't even eat enough, don't even have shoes, and can't climb the iceberg that they can conquer! ”

Long Jianhui's angry roar passed through the communicator and slammed into the ears of Zhan Xia Ge: "What do you want to do?" ”

"Didn't you tell us, instructor, that when we get here, we should toast these heroes and light a cigarette, this is the rule of the Snow Mountain! I just want to see these two greatest heroes with my own eyes, and I want to have a drink with them and smoke a cigarette with them! ”

Zhan Xia Ge lowered his head, under his feet was a smooth ice surface that was almost vertical for more than a hundred meters, and Instructor Long Jianhui and his classmates standing at the foot of the mountain looked so small, but the layer of earth, which was fused with ice, snow and gravel, suddenly became hideous. The Song of War Warriors can almost see the poignant scenery of his body's flesh and blood merging with the snow and soil on this plateau if he really stumbles and falls.

A creature faced with the imminent death hit Zhan Xia Ge so hard that his hands couldn't help but tremble slightly, and the bayonet inserted in the ice made a crisp "click" sound, and several pieces of ice chips floated out of it and gently hit Zhan Xia Ge's face, which was instantly melted by the heat of his skin, mixed with the sweat on his face, and no longer separated from each other.

Looking up at the iceberg above him again, Zhan Xia Ge let out a sullen breath, Instructor Long Jianhui was right, as long as he kept looking up, he wouldn't be so scared.

"Instructor, I once abandoned a big brother and let him dive into the sea with my own submarine, and I, the person who abandoned my big brother, friends, and brothers, couldn't even find his body in the end!"

Tears gushed out of his eyes, and he said stupidly: "From that time on, I swore to myself that I would never let a real hero get rest after giving his life!" I allow heroes to shed blood and tears! So, I want to take the remains of the heroes and the red flag that they guarded with their lives...... Bring it back!! ”

Listening to the song of the warrior with a slight chok, but firm and indestructible voice, feeling his fighting flame and passion that burst out from the depths of his body, Long Jianhui was silent.

"Instructor, I'm sorry! But, please forgive me for this presumptuousness, and if I can return alive, I am willing to accept any punishment! ”

"I think I finally know why you can get three medals in a row: jungle, mountain, and earth, and you have done what every soldier of us does not want to do, but we dare not do it, and we have not done it!"

Long Jianhui said in a deep voice: "Battle Song, I will accompany you to fight with your shoulders!" You listened carefully to every word I said, and from this time on, my snow terrain survival training for you alone began! ”

"Even if you are a member of the mountaineers who have undergone rigorous training, the death rate of climbing the snowy mountain is still as high as 5%, and it is the first time you have come to the snowfield, and you have forcibly climbed without professional tools, and you should know in your heart that your mortality rate may have exceeded 50%!"

"There are seven main causes of death on the snowy fields!"

"Excluding avalanches, ice crevasses, and rockfalls, there are four other situations that can directly affect your survival! The first is severe physical exhaustion and dehydration, I don't care what method you use, you have to drink a lot of water! Many high-altitude illnesses such as headaches, edema, and frostbite are caused by dehydration rather than lack of oxygen! ”

Zhan Xia Ge poked his head under a sharp icicle hanging upside down in the ice, opened his mouth and bit down an icicle, he squeaked and bit the ice cube hard, he took a mouthful of ice water in his mouth, until he used his own body temperature to completely melt the ice water and turn it into warm water close to his own body temperature, he swallowed this mouthful of water that had been frozen for I don't know how many years into his stomach, he exclaimed: "It's so fucking enjoyable!" ”

"The second situation is that on this plateau at an altitude of 5,100 meters, a strong wind will blow at any time, your visibility will drop to zero degrees in an instant, and it will form a tearing force on your body and back, if you can't climb the mountain peak before encountering the danger of a heavy snowstorm and find a suitable hiding point, you will definitely die!"

"The third scenario is that you can't find a camp! You've prepared yourself for five days of individual supplies, and I think you're ready to spend the night on the mountain peaks and fight for a long time, and you'll have to find a suitable place for yourself to camp and shelter from the wind and snow! ”

"Fourth, some physical diseases, which mainly include frostbite, acute altitude sickness and pneumonia! The sleeping bag you carry does not provide you with enough cold protection on the iceberg, if necessary, you must keep exercising to keep your body warm, if you fall asleep in the sleeping bag, you may never be able to open your eyes again, become the third martyr on that mountain! ”

"Remember! You have to know exactly how much you have to supply at all times, know your gear, oxygen and the amount of candy you can use to help you overcome altitude sickness! You have to plan for yourself now, what if you are facing altitude sickness and have to take oxygen, and the miniature oxygen cylinder throttle valve is frozen? What if the saber and bayonet in your hand are broken, and what if your eyes can't adapt to the plateau and you become snow blind......

"I can't help it!" When Zhan Xia Ge finally found a safer position and rested, he replied honestly: "I haven't thought about it so much at all, instructor, you are right, I am ignorant and arrogant." But now there's no turning back, so I'll concentrate on my best and keep trying to climb up until I conquer this mountain! ”

At the foot of the mountain, the eyes of all the students were focused on Instructor Long Jianhui, Long Jianhui was silent for a long time, nodded and moved the communicator, and said in a deep voice to the students beside him: "All the people living in the snow mountain know that there is a very strange fact on the snow mountain. The more inexperienced a climber is, the more likely he or she is to make it to the summit on the first attempt, which is nothing more than a matter of ignoring the risks and seizing the luck. I don't want to talk about the danger and the probability of victory, the only way to survive now is to use his ignorant and fearless courage to seize luck for himself! ”

Everyone remained silent, and the surrounding was so quiet that only the sound of the mountain wind blowing, Long Jianhui suddenly shouted: "Zhang Hua, contact the base immediately, and ask them to send the weather forecast for the coming week!" Also, notify the base emergency rescue team to prepare a helicopter and be on standby 24 hours a day! Tell them that if I give the order and I won't see the helicopter in thirty minutes, I'll break their necks with my own hands! ”

Staring at the warrior song who climbed halfway up the mountain and had conquered the 200-meter iceberg, although Long Jianhui already had a high estimate of this soldier with three medals of honor in the earth, jungle and mountain, but he had to admit that he still underestimated this student, and he had to admit that he was deeply shocked!

This student who has just come to this snowy plateau, this real man and an outstanding soldier, he just used his own hands, and the bayonet that is by no means a mountaineering tool in his hand, carrying a full thirty kilograms of supplies on his back, climbing up little by little, and creating a path of his own on the cliff that even apes cannot climb!

Everywhere he passed, he left one small hole after another poked out with a bayonet, and in the places he passed, on those ice and snow that had not been melted through the ages, he left his deep finger marks, leaving his enthusiasm and regret that belonged to a man.

"Warrior Song, you are also a hero!" Long Jianhui whispered to himself in his heart: "A soldier like you should be able to play a greater role in a heavier place, I must not let you die here!" ”

It took ten hours, and when the sun was about to disappear behind the distant peaks, the warrior song finally carried his heavy backpack and slowly climbed to its top little by little!

Standing on the top of this iceberg, which was only less than five square meters in size, covered with solid ice, and a slip under his feet might make him lose all his efforts, when he couldn't help but look back into the distance, Zhan Xia Ge's chest was suddenly filled with a kind of heat. The sun was half-hidden on the snow-capped mountain tops in the distance, blooming with warm rays of fiery red light, and the whole sky seemed to be on fire, bringing out the magnificent majesty of nature.

On the whole land, the white is the snow, the red is the mountain, and the thin line that winds endlessly like a thin ribbon is the main artery connecting Tibet Province and Xinjiang Province, and it is through this lifeline that this piece of land suddenly has an endless vitality.

He stood on this inaccessible snow-capped peak, standing side by side with those snow-capped mountains, and the warrior song suddenly couldn't help but roar.
