Liu Yong said happily: "Me too, I also want to send Zhang home." It's also my first time to come to the northernmost part of my country. ”

Jiang Chao set up the shooting rod, set the digital camera to the timed automatic shooting mode, and then fixed it on it.

Immediately afterwards, the six of them opened the red flag of the Dragon Kingdom, and each of them pulled one side and stood in a red square to take an intimate photo with the No. 5 boundary monument.

"Click" one.

"Click", another one.

"Click" continues to have a triple shot......

When they returned to the Altai Army Division, it was already the middle of the night.

If you don't go on patrol, you don't know the hardships and tiredness of the patrol soldiers, and you can't appreciate the pride of standing next to the boundary monument with the national flag in hand and swearing the territory of our country.

After returning to the temporary dormitory, Liu Yong said: "I heard that there is still a border here, and it will take seven days to walk it. Half a month of round-trip. The process is arduous and painful. There have been occasional natural disasters, and there have been incidents where patrols have died as a result of natural disasters. ”

Jiang Chao said: "It is really not easy for the soldiers on the border line...... Let's rest for two days and then go to the Rooster Tail line. ”

"Really?"

"Of course."

Land Rover spread the map on the table: "I'll look at the map first." ”

The Atai region is located in the north of the new province, connected to Kazakhstan and E in the northwest, and bordered by Mongolia in the northeast, with a border of 1,205 kilometers.

The No. 5 boundary monument of "Chicken Tail" is known as the "Four Kingdoms of Chicken Song".

This vast expanse of land is beautiful, but also treacherous.

Jin Ge put his palm on the map and said, "Don't look at it, we will still follow this line, only this time to the top." ”

Land Rover said: "Go to the vicinity of Friendship Peak? What is the border of country E? ”

Jin Ge said a little excitedly: "Yes, only the top of the entire border line is really close to the border of country E." Then there is the Heijiang Mohe, where it is icy and snowy. But there are glaciers here too, so we can go and see them. ”

Iron Horse said: "You really should be a tourist?" It is said that the snow here does not melt all year round, and it is heavily guarded, so idle people can't go here. ”

Jin Ge said: "This long border line includes the route including the No. 5 boundary marker, besides, we are not idle people!" ”

Jiang Chao got up and pointed to the map and said, "We can go all the way around from here, and then go to Boundary Pillar No. 124, which is located near Qinghe County in the Atai Prefecture of the new province on the border of Longmeng. Take about three or four days. Finally, the patrol mission is complete, and you can pack up and return to the southern border. ”

Liu Yong said: "Sounds pretty good. I wonder if something interesting will happen in this place. ”

Zhu Xing said suddenly: "I heard that the border line has not been very peaceful recently, and some terrorists are ready to move, so you should be careful." ”

Jiang Chao wondered: "Where did you hear the gossip?" In the end, it is a terrorist element, or a drug and an armament? It's a capital offense to walk arms here! And this place is inaccessible, the terrain is complex, and it is difficult to get in and out. ”

Zhu Xing said: "What I heard from the nomads that day was overheard their conversation. But they didn't say anything about it later. I heard that it is possible to walk from the southwest slope, but it has not been very peaceful here. The Three Kingdoms are borderlined, deserted, how can there be a paradise village to speak of? ”

Jiang Chao said: "Maybe they're just discussing something about chasing after the wind?" There is no gossip in this kind of place. ”

Zhu Xing sat down and said, "No matter what, I'd rather believe it than believe it." For example, we didn't encounter anything strange when we went on patrol this time, but that doesn't mean it's okay. I always feel like it's a moment of calm before the storm. ”

Jiang Chao said: "You don't want God to predict!" This isn't a joke. ”

"It's not my God who predicted, it's those people who can't just do it. Who knows what surprise they've been brewing lately? "Zhu Xing refers to the dark shadow on the other side of the border.

"I can't sleep, so let's go out and find out."

"Let's go." After saying that, they swarmed up.

A week later, they once again set foot on the border of their homeland.

Last time, it was a patrol route close to the border with Kazakhstan, and this time it is a patrol route close to the border with Mongolia.

Although they are both northernmost borders, this line is completely different from that line because this top is in a critical state of Shikoku.

In all fairness, the new province is really beautiful.

Picturesque, dreamlike, fairyland-like, often make people forget to return.

These days, they also experienced the simple customs of the local nomads, and gradually integrated into it.

Jiang Chao even learned a few words of local daily language from a young man.

Of course, in return, he taught him some "flower fists and embroidered legs" for daily self-defense.

This time, the place they wanted to get close to was the 4,374-meter-high Friendship Peak, which can be seen on the map of the new province from Kanas Lake to the Friendship Peak.

It is a horse road that has rarely been traveled since ancient times.

It is only 40 kilometers from the White Lake to the bottom of the Friendship Peak.

Friendship Peak is the main peak of the Altai Mountains, which is located in the territory of the Dragon Kingdom.

It is very close to the junction of the four countries, including Longguo, Mongolia, E, Kazakhstan, and the mountains, which are covered with snow all year round.

Due to the influence of the cold and humid air currents of Siberia, the surrounding area is rich in precipitation, dense forests, lush pastures, and beautiful scenery.

The southwest slope of Friendship Peak is home to a large area of glaciers.

It is the source of the Kanas River and the largest glacier in the Altai Mountains.

Friendship Glacier is the lowest altitude valley glacier in China, and enjoys a high reputation at home and abroad.

The majestic Friendship Peak Glacier has been affected by the external environment to form a unique landform, and ice crevasses of different sizes are all over the Friendship Peak Glacier, which can be called a wonder of the world.

Because the latitude of Youyi Peak Glacier is located in the north, it is well representative, and it is the best base for scientific investigation and research and tourism exploration, where you can feel the changes of the four seasons in one day.

As early as the 40s, an expedition of 30 people from the former Soviet Union mysteriously disappeared during the expedition; In 1965, Chinese mountaineers tried to climb the Friendship Peak, but they failed to do so due to the steepness of the mountain and the lack of accurate understanding of the Friendship Peak.

In 1999, a mountaineering team bought out the "first ascent", but failed because they could not climb it halfway through.

Anyone who knows mountaineering knows that the difficulty of climbing a mountain is not necessarily proportional to the height of the mountain.

The mystery of Friendship Peak lies in the fact that very little is known about it.

The climatic characteristics of Friendship Peak, which are very important for climbers, the formation of the mountain, and the condition of the summit are vague and lack accurate data.

Climbing Friendship Peak is a very desirable and alluring journey, because most of the time, people are moving in the scenic area.
