Chapter 485: An Island on the Snowy Plain! [Please follow! ] Ask for support! 】
Red Fang, scientific name is fermented bean curd.
As a condiment to rice, this thing is quite rare in the army.
But in Liaodong, it doesn't matter what unit this thing is, it doesn't matter if anyone eats it or not, a few bottles must be placed on the table, and I don't know who brought it up.
And the taste and texture of this thing. It's the same as his name.
Sufu bean curd is no different from rotten dairy products, and it is difficult to describe it when you eat it
But as the so-called world is big, there are no surprises.
It is precisely because of this peculiar taste that the bean curd has won countless fans.
Those who love it love it to death, and they can't eat without him.
People who don't like fermented bean curd shake their heads when they see it, and would rather choke on it with rice than touch it.
Like the current recruits.
Looking at the two pieces of bean curd in front of him, the recruit's face twisted into a ball, looking very aggrieved.
"Squad leader."
"Can't we eat something else?"
If it is in other units, the recruits dare to pick and choose about the food and drink, and they are designated to be cleaned up by the squad leader.
But in terms of the Weidong outpost, where the number of people remains at a dozen all year round, and it is worth firing a cannon to celebrate if it can break through twenty.
There is nothing wrong with the recruit's current words and deeds.
After all, all of you here, the squad leader, who is extremely good at making fun in hardship, also came from the period of recruits.
"Hey, you kid!"
"Let's deal with it and eat two meals first!"
"When the supplies come up, the squad leader invites you to eat the 'emperor set'!"
The emperor set is also a big "black talk" in the army. ”
To put it simply, it is a luxurious instant noodle set.
Buckets of instant noodles, plastic-sealed braised eggs, golden gong ham sausages, and if the conditions are good, you may also add a braised chicken thigh, a bag of mustard or enoki mushrooms, and a bottle of iced tea and other small sweet water to quench your thirst.
By the way, when eating instant noodles in the army, it is best to choose iced black tea for drinks.
Other drinks don't have that taste~
Listening to the squad leader's naked "temptation", the recruits instantly remembered their sip of instant noodles and iced tea, which was like a fairy-like taste.
"Goo."
Subconsciously swallowed his saliva, and the recruit unconsciously picked up a chopstick red square and sent it to his mouth.
The strange smell that was strong and went straight to the Heavenly Spirit Cover instantly awakened all the senses of the recruits!
I Nima!!
It's not something that people eat!!
"Phew!"
With a retching sound, the recruit subconsciously wanted to spit out the red square in his mouth.
But the four-month education that the recruit company received did not allow the recruit to make such a move.
Look at the table next to you, the company commander who came to squat, the only platoon commander in the company, and the non-commissioned officers and conscripts, all of them were placed in front of a bowl of rice and two red squares.
Recruits have no reason to do so.
"Come on!"
"In a few months, the recruits will be out of the company!"
"You'll be a veteran by then!"
"Hurry up and get used to it, and look like a veteran! Give a sample to the recruits! ”
"Don't make the recruits laugh at that time!"
glanced at the squad leader who was following his path, this recruit who was about to become "Nijo", finally frowned, and wiped out the rice in the bowl one bite at a time.
And outside the window not far from them, the wind howled, the snow danced wildly, and the sky and the earth were filled with a "whining" sound that sounded cold.
The open space in the camp was already covered with a thick layer of snow.
Farther away, between heaven and earth, there were only large expanses of white color.
Even the object of this group of warriors, the meaning of the existence of the Weidong outpost, the No. 37 boundary pillar eight kilometers away from the outpost, has been flooded with snow at this moment.
No man's land, these three words, it seems that it is difficult to have anything to do with Liaodong.
But the area where the outpost is located is an extremely rare no-man's land in eastern Liaodong.
The altitude is the highest in eastern Liaodong, the climate is extremely harsh, and the snow is closed for up to eight months every year.
After all, it's not easy to get stuck in the snow with a sled.
But for a young man of about 1.8 meters, the deepest snow here is three or four meters, and it is easy to swallow them.
This is the "first outpost of Tianchi." ”
Weidong Outpost.
"Instructor, do you really want to go?"
"I'm a brigade commander of a field unit, and I'm running with you to the border defense unit."
"It's easy to misunderstand!"
After the end of the assessment, Zhou Qingchun still wanted to play tricks, trying to "break the agreement" between himself and Section Chief Ye. ”
It's not that Zhou Qingchun can't endure hardships, it's that the situation at the Weidong outpost is too bad.
In addition to the legendary "First Outpost of the Arctic", in the vast Liaodong, it is difficult to find an outpost with a worse environment than the Weidong Outpost.
If the hell is this, if you accidentally fall off the winding mountain road, or fall into the snow nest, it will be very troublesome to dig Zhou Qingchun out!
You know, our Brigadier Zhou Da hasn't hugged his grandson yet!
But it is obviously impossible for Section Chief Ye to let Zhou Qingchun just rely on him.
It's hard to find a big injustice, no! "Travel" hitchhiker!
If you say a word, you don't want to go?
Is it possible?
Of course, according to the rank, after the assessment is over, Section Chief Ye has no right to order Zhou Qingchun, who is the main brigade commander.
But it doesn't matter, Section Chief Ye has a way.
Seeing that Zhou Qingchun retreated, Section Chief Ye did not directly say "threat", but said with a smile.
"Okay, then you can rest."
Well?
Section Chief Ye's simple words not only held back a lot of rhetoric prepared by Zhou Qingchun, but also made him feel alarmed!
Wrong!
Something is very wrong!
After all, Section Chief Ye's personality, as Zhou Qingchun, who is the "great disciple of the mountain", can't be better understood!
Can he let go so easily?
Dream!
And Section Chief Ye did not disappoint Zhou Qingchun, and directly "See you in the poor dagger!" ”
"But Xiao Zhou, I'm a person, you know."
"The main thing is to seek truth from facts, what to say."
"You don't know yet, do you? I plan to compile and publish what I have seen and heard in the past few years on the border defense. ”
"The Political Department has already communicated."
"And the Weidong outpost is my last stop!"
it?
As soon as he heard this, Zhou Qingchun's ominous premonition became stronger and stronger, and he was about to speak, when he was interrupted by Section Chief Ye.
"If you don't want to go, then I'll have to record it truthfully in the book."
"Before going to the Weidong outpost, Brigade Commander Zhou readily agreed to go to the Weidong outpost with me."
"Later, for various reasons, I resigned."
"Student Xiao Zhou, do you think my wording is sincere enough?"
"It's kind of realistic, right?"
Zhou Qingchun: "."
I don't have a reputation in the first place, and you still want to give me a disaster to die, right?
Full of resentment roared in his heart, Zhou Qingchun immediately took out an extremely attentive expression and said enthusiastically.
"Ouch, instructor, what's the matter!"
"You're not realistic at all!"
"When did I quit?"
"Isn't it just the Weidong outpost! I have to go! ”
"Let's go, let's go!"
"I'll be your driver, take my special car!"
Facing Zhou Qingchun, who judged the two of them with attitudes before and after, Section Chief Ye said directly with a smile.
"No, what if you delay your work?"
"Why don't I go by myself? Don't bother you Brigade Commander Zhou? ”
As soon as he heard this, Zhou Qingchun's head immediately shook like a rattle!
"No delay! I asked for leave of absence for myself and the army! ”
"Ouch, go all over the border posts, record the most real border deeds, and let people feel the hardships of our soldiers."
"What a sacred work!"
"I believe the army will understand!"
"Instructor, don't say anything, let's go!"
"You insisted on it, I didn't force you, did I?"
"It's not! Definitely not! I volunteered! ”
Looking at Zhou Qingchun, who was "smiling on his face and MMP in his heart", he felt as if he had eaten an uncomfortable expression like a fly.
Section Chief Ye slowly showed a faint smile in the style of "the plan succeeded", and said in his heart, Lao Tzu can't handle you anymore?
A moment later, Zhou Qingchun, who was the "cameo" driver, carried Section Chief Ye and others towards the endless pale snow-capped mountains located at the border.
Before going to the Weidong outpost, Section Chief Ye naturally did some homework.
At that time, the only impression left by the Weidong outpost on Section Chief Ye was that it was cold.
From the bones to the coldness of the soul.
If there is one more impression, it is loneliness.
Being in a no-man's land, the loneliness of being alone between heaven and earth.
But when Section Chief Ye really came to this area with the highest altitude in eastern Liaodong, he was about to step into the gate of the Weidong outpost.
In Section Chief Ye's heart, there was another impression of Weidong Outpost.
That's "risk." ”
Compared with the plateau, the "risk" here is more intuitive.
On the vast Northeast Plain, a spectacular mountain range rises from the ground!
Stepping on this mountain range and walking through dozens of kilometers of winding roads is where the Weidong outpost is located!
It's a winding road!
A winding road in the Tohoku Plains!
To tell the truth, if it weren't for knowing that Zhou Qingchun's mind was still quite sober, he wouldn't have done that kind of "self-destructing" thing.
Section Chief Ye is a little worried that he will be a driver!
And with the increase in altitude, Section Chief Ye, who was sitting in the car and wearing a thick military coat, inevitably felt an increasingly obvious chill.
Along with it, there was an increasingly pronounced whistling sound.
Ice, snow, wind, cliffs.
This is the most intuitive portrayal of the word "severe cold".
It is also the most intuitive portrayal of the Weidong outpost!
After walking about 30 kilometers of winding mountain roads, Section Chief Ye finally arrived at the "final stop" of his career in the agency. ”
The first outpost of Tianchi!
"Whew."
After getting out of the car, Section Chief Ye subconsciously exhaled a breath of hot air, watching the white fog in front of him gradually dissipate, Section Chief Ye involuntarily wrapped his coat tightly.
Turning his head, he was greeted by a vast snowy scene.
There is only a touch of bright red, which looks out of place in this world.
It was at the gate of the Weidong outpost, the five-star national flag fluttering high.
Not far from the flagpole, eight large characters with red and silver hooks painted on iron immediately met Section Chief Ye's eyes!
Defend the border and fortify the defense, and make contributions to the northern frontier!
I want to ask the soldiers of the Weidong outpost how they managed to hold on in this bitter cold.
The honor symbolized by these eight words is the greatest motivation for them to devote themselves to the cause of border defense!
"Student Xiao Zhou, you are also an old man from Liaodong."
"Do you feel that the current temperature is common in Liaodong?"
Listening to Section Chief Ye's inquiry, Zhou Qingchun shook his head very decisively.
The instructor laughed.
"In Northeast dialect, the temperature we are in now is dead cold!"
"It's not common in the Northeast!"
"I estimate that the outside temperature must be minus 40 degrees Celsius?"
"Click."
"Section Chief"
"I feel like it's fifty degrees!"
"Negative!"
Glancing at Wang Yang, who was shivering, Section Chief Ye squinted again, looking at the big sun hanging high in the sky.
The sun was shining on his body, but Section Chief Ye didn't feel a trace of warmth.
"Hiss"
Spit out a mouthful of white mist again, and Ye Fei said a little vaguely.
"Let's go."
"Let's go see this group of frozen warriors!"
After speaking, Section Chief Ye took the lead and walked in the direction of the gate of the outpost.
"Woohoo!"
As Section Chief Ye and the others gradually approached, a rapid dog bark broke the tranquility of this "isolated island" located in the reckless snowfield.
In the next second, three soldiers wearing dogskin military hats and cold masks rushed out of the outpost in an instant.
"Who?"
I saw that Section Chief Ye and others were all wearing military uniforms and military coats.
The three warriors suddenly relaxed a lot, but they still didn't let go of the weapons in their hands, and just let the leader come forward to ask.
"Is it Section Chief Ye who came to inspect?"
Upon hearing this, Section Chief Ye hurriedly corrected.
"It's not an inspection, it's a study."
"Where am I qualified to inspect you?"
Simply identifying himself, Section Chief Ye ordered to Wang Yang beside him.
"Go, get the stuff out!"
"Yes!"
After a while, Wang Yang and a few other cadres who followed Section Chief Ye to "do chores" struggled to move boxes of instant food such as biscuits and instant noodles from the trunk.
Don't say that our Section Chief Ye is stingy, why don't you bring some big meals.
Do you still remember the conversation between the recruits and the squad leader before Section Chief Ye arrived?
That's right, it's the phrase "the dish is frozen." ”
Low temperature has always been a means for the people of Liaodong and even the world to store food.
But who would have imagined that low temperatures can also spoil food?
This kind of "frozen" vegetable tastes similar to that of rotten sweet potatoes when cooked, and it is more indescribable than his red side!
Otherwise, the soldiers of the Weidong outpost, as for eating the red side?
I really don't have to choose!
It is precisely for this reason that instant foods such as instant noodles, which are not easily affected by low temperatures, are more favored by the soldiers in the outpost.
At least this thing has a bit of "technology" in it, and it can't be frozen easily.
"What are you doing! Call someone to help! ”
Seeing Wang Yang and the others holding large boxes and small boxes, they walked towards this side with a deflated stomach.
Several sentries hurriedly called out the fighters who were warming up in the house and came out to help "deliver the goods".
Section Chief Ye noticed that when he saw these fast foods, every soldier's face was filled with joy.
It seems that being able to eat a meal of instant noodles that ordinary people discard is a great pleasure for them.
"Hello Section Chief Ye!"
A sudden greeting voice brought Section Chief Ye's thoughts back to reality.
Looking at the captain in front of him with an enthusiastic face and saluting him.
Section Chief Ye pursed his lips, took off his gloves, and returned a solemn military salute!
"Haha, the hospitality is not good, Section Chief Ye forgive me!"
"The regiment finished calling yesterday, and I guess you will arrive tomorrow, so I haven't prepared any welcome ceremony!"
"I'm sorry to break the bank!"
In the face of the border company commander's greetings one after another, Section Chief Ye followed his words and said a few polite words, but also noticed the key points in his words.
"Phone?"
"Isn't there a duty room or anything like that in our outpost?"
As soon as he heard this, the border company commander waved his hand directly and said with some embarrassment.
"What a thing!"
Speaking of this, the border squad leader also took out his mobile phone and showed Section Chief Ye the mobile phone that had no signal at all, and then continued.
"You can see it, we don't have any signal at all."
"In addition to a satellite phone, there is only one military telephone line left in the outpost, which can communicate with the outside world."
"As for fiber optic cables. Although our environment is difficult, the situation has not reached the point where it is necessary to lay military fiber optic cables. ”
"Plus us, it's really difficult to lay optical cables, and it's enough to have a telephone line or something!"
As soon as he heard this, Section Chief Ye's expression suddenly became a little solemn, making it impossible to see what he was thinking.
Although many similar units have been visited.
But every time he encountered this situation, Section Chief Ye couldn't help but be a little moved.
Who can imagine that it was the twenties of the twenty-first century.
The Yanguo troops, and there are still grass-roots units, are using the "military telephone line", the communication method of the last century?
But this is the status quo of numerous outposts.
But when it comes to the harsh environment, the Weidong outpost is undoubtedly the most difficult among them.
"Woo~Woo~"
As if he felt the arrival of Section Chief Ye, an uninvited guest, the cold wind on the top of the mountain howled even more violently.
Scraping on Section Chief Ye's exposed skin, it brought a bitter pain like "blunt knife cutting flesh".
Seeing this scene, the border company commander was about to invite Section Chief Ye to come in and speak, when he saw Zhou Qingchun, who had been bowing his head and not speaking, trembling beside Section Chief Ye.
Especially after seeing the two-bar and four-star rank on Zhou Qingchun's shoulder, the border company commander was even more confused
Why is this man so raw?
The new chief?
No, this doesn't look like a cadre of the border guards?
"Section Chief Ye, this is"
Seeing that the border company commander finally asked himself, Zhou Qingchun coughed lightly, thinking about what kind of opening statement to use, so as to leave a lifelong memory for the border company commander.
I heard Section Chief Ye say lightly.
"It's okay, just call him Brigade Commander Zhou."
"But you don't have to treat him as a chief, he's the same as me this time, or it's okay if he's a passerby."
Zhou Qingchun: "."
On the other side, the recruits, who were troubled by the red side, looked at the several boxes of instant noodles sent by Section Chief Ye, salivating, and couldn't help but say to their squad leader and platoon leader.
"Squad leader, platoon leader!"
"Let's have instant noodles to eat!"
