"Okay, you know, let's go." Instructor Yang Fengrui said with a little regret in his words.

This student is the most solid cadre he has seen in the theoretical discipline in the past few years of teaching, and he thought that he could take time to discuss it, but he didn't expect the vice dean to be so decisive.

The first batch sent him away.

The orderly Xiao Wen was also a little reluctant, following Chen Ming was his easiest stage, at least not like some cadres who had advanced their studies and commanded them, cleaning up the house, folding quilts, and cleaning up all of them.

I am busy like a spinning top every day, although I am not angry, but I can't be idle.

Chen Ming does a lot of things by himself, and he doesn't need a soldier at all, who would have thought that he hasn't enjoyed a few days of happiness after just a few days, and the chief is going to go down to the grassroots level.

He must have no fun, so he could only fold all the clothes and personal belongings in the dormitory and put them in his backpack.

Chen Ming took it casually, walked to the military mirror at the door of the dormitory, and simply tidied up his clothes, and nodded to the three people in the dormitory.

Then, he strode downstairs without looking back.

The college arranged a car to send it directly to the airport, at this time, the other students of the same batch were still in class, no one came to see him off, and no one knew that at this time, Chen Ming had already set off.

Boarding the vehicle arranged downstairs in the dormitory, Chen Ming couldn't wait to put his backpack on the empty seat next to him, picked up the information bag and opened it, and took out the ticket inside.

Chen Ming's hand shook, and the ticket was almost thrown out of the window by him.

Nima, Southern Xinjiang?!!

At a glance again, it is almost certain that it is southern Xinjiang, and he doesn't know many of the place names there, but he has a vague impression that he can call this kind of name is afraid that it is eight or nine and ten.

The corners of his mouth twitched and he continued to flip out the transfer book, and sure enough, the second company of the Simhana Frontier Regiment in Southern Xinjiang, the name of the region was still very unfamiliar to him, and he took out the map in the information bag, as well as the letter of introduction of the troops.

Chen Ming looked through them one by one, and according to the information, this second frontier company belongs to a heroic and exemplary company, guarding the majestic gate of the country, and the company has been awarded the collective first-class merit and second-class merit many times, and has also been awarded the honorary title of the model company of the western frontier.

Sitting in the car, reading all the information, and checking the location on his mobile phone, Chen Ming finally raised his eyebrows lightly and couldn't help muttering.

This old man Lin wouldn't be really cautious and deliberately arranged for him here, right?

Border troops, the conditions are difficult, Chen Ming is not afraid, the material is scarce, he is not afraid, there is danger at any time and he will not resist, as a soldier, he does not go to dangerous places, who else can he go?

The key is that this is a place directly under the jurisdiction of the Southern Xinjiang Military Region, and Chen Ming has not had any "enemies" since he joined the army, but Southern Xinjiang is definitely an exception.

During the large-scale military training, if you want to talk about the name of the bandit brigade, who remembers it the most, it is definitely this place.

Nima, the eastern theater of operations that is said to be good cannot be arranged, and you have to get yourself to a farther place, not to mention the central theater, most of which are areas of developed cities, but let's just say that we can't consider the two theaters of war in the north and the south?

However, he was sent to the Western Theater and returned to the border regiment of the Southern Xinjiang Military Region.

Not to mention that he can't show his identity, even if he lets him show it, Chen Ming has to think twice about it, the Eighth Division of Tianshan Mountain and the Baiyun Mountain Regiment are estimated to have many people thinking about him now.

Especially just after the retirement season, it hasn't even ended, and the impact of the defeat of the big training has just started, and he, a guy who has made a lot of efforts, has been stuffed over, didn't play like this?

This cautious old man is afraid that he will be slow to get cold.

You must know that this kind of border defense unit itself is hard, the environment is almost the same, and the various challenges are particularly arduous.

The soldiers in it, although they are not special forces, may not be less likely than special forces to face real guns.

After all, it is a border defense to defend the border, and it is often common to face various emergencies, and appropriate firefights may be common.

Moreover, the second border defense company that he is about to set off for is still a model company.

How did you get the title of exemplary?

Don't think about it, it must be fed in countless actual battles, but whenever there is a little movement or something, the real knife and real gun will be done.

After all, as a model company, the experience is there, and the risk is also very high, which is not like an ordinary exercise, which uses empty cartridges.

This place is a real thing with a warhead.

This old man, is he really not afraid that he will have some accidents there, Chen Ming shook his head, his eyes looked out of the window with a hint of a smile, he was enjoying the recent time, and the only thing he might have come into contact with was still emitting blazing sunshine.

Once you get to the border guards at high altitudes, this temperature is probably a luxury.

To be honest, although the border defense is difficult and dangerous, if you want to talk about fear, it really can't be talked about for Chen Ming.

Although he is not a soldier king, let alone a copper-headed iron wall, at least his military literacy is still online.

If he really encounters an emergency, Chen Ming feels that with his professionalism, it should not be a big problem to deal with it, as long as he prevents the sixth child from coming to deceive him, or coming to sneak attack.

After thinking about it for a long time, Chen Ming let out a sigh.

That's it, if you come, you will be safe, the above has been arranged, and you obey it.

The temperature in the high-altitude area is very low, and after that, most of my smartphones have to stop the fire, except for going back to the dormitory, I usually can't turn on the phone.

Taking advantage of the effort of sitting in the car, Chen Ming made a phone call home, contacted Chai Shuyao again, and euphemistically informed him that the recent refresher course arrangement was relatively sudden, and the mobile phone may be turned off from time to time.

Chen Ming did not know his own performance in the National Defense University, and the academy had already notified the war zone that the place to go was not all up to the academy.

Others don't know if anyone will interfere, but where he went down to the grassroots level, Chai Yansong personally formulated, sealed, and finalized all the processes.

The border troops, the conditions are hard, the environment is hard, the soldiers who can stay here are undoubtedly very great, Chen Ming has the ability, but he has no qualifications, in order to block the crowd, his task is bound to be more difficult than other trainees.

Chai Yansong had already planned for a long time, but he didn't expect Chen Ming's tossing to be so strong, and as soon as he went to the National Defense University for further study, he took the theoretical course he should learn and gave him an opportunity to ask questions.

The training program was originally intended to allow these commanders to learn more theories, but now that he can do it, there is no need to do more.

The second phase was immediately opened, and the war zone, also led by Chai Yansong, nodded in agreement with this proposal.

It's just that Chen Ming doesn't know about these things, and Chai Shuyao doesn't know either.

Shimen, a city that has just set foot in a few days, Chen Ming is about to leave again.

The people from the academy just dropped him off at the airport, and after a brief hello, he left straight away.

There was no telling the time for the report, and there was no explanation of whether anyone would come to receive it after arriving at the place.

But according to Chen Ming's own estimate, this time it is a training arrangement, and it is not a normal transfer, I am afraid that no one will pick it up, and I need to transfer all the way to the army to report.

After boarding the plane, Chen Ming did not feel as confused and anxious as he imagined, nor did he show the slightest worry at all.

It seems that this transfer is regarded as a short trip, and when I get on the plane, I just put on my blindfold and lie down to rest.

In the dream, he dreamed of his former comrades-in-arms, the squad leader of the recruit company who had been retired for a long time, and the first noble man who entered the army and sincerely thought about him - recruit platoon Jiang Peng.

He told these people that he was about to report to the border guards, which was a place outside of his cognition, and a place that his comrades-in-arms had not been exposed to before.

It is the place where the most admirable soldiers can stay in the news reports.

It is a place with high wages and high subsidies in the eyes of many soldiers, and it is synonymous with poor environment and poor conditions.

It is a sacred monument that would rather bury the bones of the loyal at the border and not let the motherland lose an inch of land.

It is the hometown of heroes, and it is the home of iron-blooded tough guys.

In the dream, a voice told him that if you want to go to the west, you can't just serve as an ordinary soldier in the west, let alone experience life in order to complete the so-called transfer.

When you go to the west, you have to bear the thousands of miles of ice and snow drifting on the frontier, and you have to bear the responsibility of holding a steel gun under the cold moon at the border.

You want to see the dawn sun shining on the western land, you want to see the iron armor rushing, and the war cannon roaring.

We must remember those who will stay there forever, and we must understand the dedication and responsibility of countless soldiers in the west.

We must tell the motherland, the people, and our relatives loudly, please rest assured that the motherland, the people, and all our brothers and sisters can rest assured that I have a strong army!!

In the dream, this vague voice, Chen Ming didn't tell who it was, but it didn't matter, this voice sounded very much like Zhao Lifei, an old squad leader who had been discharged from the army, and it was also very similar to Jiang Peng, a recruit platoon.

is very similar to Tang Zhen, the commander of the artillery brigade, Xu Kai, the commander of the second battalion of Yuanhuo, Guo Yuanzheng, the commander of the recruit company, and Chu Xiongqiao, the commander of the first company of Yuanhuo.

Like all those who have ever encouraged themselves.

Dream, woke up.

After more than three hours of flight, the plane finally arrived at the airport in southern Xinjiang.

Chen Ming took a deep breath and looked at the clear blue sky outside, feeling relaxed for no reason.

The first time he came, he came with troops, with a "sword", and his mission was to fight.

This time, he did not bring a "sword" with him, he was alone, alone, and came with the mission of a soldier in the west, and he also wanted to personally experience the life of the border guards.

When he came out of the airport, Chen Ming looked around, and indeed he didn't see anyone who picked him up, it seemed that he guessed well before leaving, and this transfer was not an ordinary order arrangement.

He is no longer a major either.

However, it doesn't matter, I have already made up my mind that I am not happy when I come here, so I turned on my phone and checked the map in my hand, walked out of the airport and started to take the shuttle.

It's not that he's not in a hurry, it's mainly the location of the Second Frontier Company, even if he's in a hurry, no one wants to take a taxi.

I'm afraid I won't be able to take a taxi from his position until midnight, and even if I can, the driver won't be willing.

After all, judging from the map, the location of the second company is really too remote, according to his temporary travel plan, he has to transfer at least five or six buses, arrive at a town, and then walk for about five or six hours to get to the location.

It only took two shuttles in the middle, and it was already completely dark.

Turn the third bus down and look at the time on the communicator, it has pointed to eleven o'clock in the evening.

On the spot, he dispelled the idea of continuing to rush to the troops to report, but fortunately, it was relatively late in the south of Xinjiang, even if it was 11 o'clock in the evening, it was only equivalent to the mainland, and it was not long after dark.

Chen Ming checked the clothes accompanying him, and the thick clothes prepared for him by the school were okay, at least they were more thoughtful.

But he still took a taxi and asked the driver to take him to a more prosperous place, preferably with a shopping mall, a hotel or a hostel nearby.

He plans to buy a few warm coats and bring some snacks, the general conditions of the border guards are not very good, and the transportation is not good, anyway, go on your own trip, it is always right to bring more.

In this unfamiliar place, if someone else is carrying a backpack and holding a map to a mobile phone, it looks like a foreigner.

The master who drove the taxi promised to pull him from this street to a small hotel on another street, and then quoted a random price and slaughtered him severely.

But seeing Chen Ming wearing a straight military uniform, the driver who just wanted to rip off the customer was instantly intimidated, and honestly arranged Chen Ming to a nearby hotel with a very good environment.

He also enthusiastically introduced what shopping malls are nearby and what the approximate price is, so as to avoid him being slaughtered.

Chen Ming is also very self-aware, knowing that this is a bonus brought by the skin, after simply saying thank you.

I ran to the hotel to check in, put the things I carried with me in the room, and then ran to the mall to eat and wear, and bought a lot of them.

It's not that he is not in a hurry to travel, and he is not familiar with the place, but the location of this report is located on the border, in case he gets lost while walking in the middle of the night, he may go abroad.

He was also wearing a military uniform, and if he stepped across the border, he could even cause an international conflict if he was not careful.

This is not bad, after all, after the negotiation between the two parties, the misunderstanding is resolved, at most it is a bit embarrassing, and I can come back.

Wouldn't it be even more embarrassing if you go too far, go farther and farther, and it is too dark at night and there is no clear landmark to determine.

After purchasing the things he needed, he made sure to check it again and again, and there were no missing or missing things, so Chen Ming returned to the hotel to rest.

Early the next morning.

Chen Ming got up early in the morning, and after a simple wash, he went to the hotel restaurant for breakfast.

Although this is not an expensive hotel, in order to attract customers, it also makes a gimmick of staying with breakfast to attract more people to stay.

It's just that compared to the National Defense University, compared to the Tiger Wolf Camp, the sumptuous breakfast dishes provided here are too ordinary, and they are no different from the street stalls.

The bread fritters in the form of a buffet really don't match the restaurant with a very luxurious and bright decoration.

After Chen Ming was full, he returned to the hotel room and took out the map again and marked the route again.

Then I checked out, took a taxi and continued to the passenger station.

The garrison of the Second Frontier Company was stationed at a high altitude, almost next to the border line, and if he wanted to get there, he could only take a shuttle bus to a nearby village and town, and then walk up on foot.

Taking a taxi to the passenger station and entering the passenger station where there are not many pedestrians, Chen Ming deliberately asked the conductor to inquire again to avoid the map given by the college being too old and the route changing.

After making sure that there were no problems with the route I had planned, I started the day again.

Successfully boarded the shuttle bus that was about to depart.

It seems that the quality of the shuttle buses passing through the countryside across the country is not very good, especially in areas like this that deviate from the big cities and have relatively weak economic development, the degree of dilapidation of the shuttle buses is simply outrageous.

As soon as the engine sounded, the entire frame shook and shook.

Chen Ming looked at the frame, always worried about whether it would collapse.

However, the middle-aged driver in the car, as well as the cashier aunt who was relatively mellow, were not surprised by this.

The calmness of the two indirectly reassured Chen Ming a lot, thinking that he should not be so unlucky, so he took a trip and directly fell apart.

Since it was relatively early at this time, he was the only passenger in the car.

The driver skillfully started the car, and the cashier next to him kept looking at the only passenger in the car.

The area is remote, the development of the shuttle bus is not formal, and there are not many passengers who go to the station to buy tickets, and the vast majority of them are on the way through the shuttle bus to stop the train.

At first, Chen Ming thought that although the shuttle bus was broken, at least it had the treatment of a special car, but he didn't think that the vehicle had just walked out of the passenger station not far away, and the roadside was full of people waving to stop the car.

It's not the Spring Festival, it's not a holiday, it's not even a weekend, and the cars are basically stopped by some old people wearing flower cloths and crutches, and when they laugh, they will show two rows of toothless gums.

Some of them carry cardboard boxes with several holes, some of them will have the sound of chicks chirping, and some boxes will have the sound of quacking ducklings.

Chen Ming has been sitting at the back, witnessing everything in front of him, anyway, he has to sit on the terminal every time he takes the bus, and then takes the next bus from the terminal, and he is not in a hurry.

Feeling the breath of an unfamiliar area, there was also an old lady sitting beside him, chattering with him along the way, Chen Ming naturally listened attentively, and didn't say a word the whole time.

It's not that he's not polite, it's that he doesn't understand at all.

In the end, the old grandmother said that she was in a hurry, pointed to the military uniform on his body, her eyebrows fluttered, and her eyes talked excitedly for a long time, and then her face showed expectation, as if she was waiting for his answer.

Chen Ming looked at her in a daze, with a blank expression.

In the end, the aunt who collected the ticket enthusiastically relieved the siege, speaking Mandarin with a heavy accent, to help him answer, only then did he know that the grandson of the old lady also became a soldier last year and did not come back for the New Year.

Seeing him as if he had seen his grandson, he asked him which village he was from and whether he knew his grandson.

Chen Ming could only smile bitterly at these questions, but said that he was not a local person, but came to find a friend.

Then, the people in the car asked their friends from which village, and there was nothing they didn't know about the old people.

Along the way, Chen Ming spoke Mandarin that he could understand, and talked with local old men and old ladies, but no one could understand what the other party said.

On the contrary, they had a good conversation.

Maybe this is a manifestation of the military and civilian fish and water situation.

Chen Ming didn't feel bored, as if he had just left the barracks to wash his soul, and talked freely with the local people.

The shuttle bus changed again and again.

The passengers changed again, but the enthusiasm remained undiminished.

Finally, the last stop arrived, and it was more than four o'clock in the afternoon.

Chen Ming packed his bags and prepared to go up the mountain, which may take five or six hours according to the distance.

I wish I could get to the outpost before dark.
