What is it like to spend the winter in the "Forbidden Zone for Life" above 4500 meters above sea level? You may say "cold," but officers and men of a certain brigade of the Tibet Military Region who spent the winter fighting here for the first time said they were warm!
At 1:50 a.m. on February 1, this reporter went to the training site of a brigade of the Tibet Military Region at an altitude of 4,657 meters. The two sentries who were on duty at the camp gate were Corporal Cheng Jin of the first company and Tu Dabiao, deputy squad leader of the seventh squad.
"Is it cold to stand guard at night?" The reporter asked with concern.
"Not cold, not cold!" Cheng Jin rushed to say that there was a stove in the sentry building, and when standing guard, he wore special cold clothing, and then wrapped in a sheepskin coat, and the wind and snow were not cold no matter how big.
"In the field training, how do you eat?" "Well eaten!" Tu Dabiao introduced that there were six dishes and one soup at noon and evening, and the breakfast was also very rich. Because of the high altitude and low air pressure, the steamed buns were difficult to steam, so instructor Wang Yanchao and the cooking class studied the tricks of steaming the buns in a pressure cooker, and after several twists and turns, they finally let the officers and soldiers eat the buns with good color and flavor.
Speaking of Wang Yanchao, Tu Dabiao has always been grateful. In July last year, Tu Dabiao accidentally injured himself during a night training session, and his front teeth were cut in half. After Wang Yanchao knew, he specially told the cooking class to change the pattern to make him some sick meals that were easy to chew and swallow, and told him to rinse his mouth with more salt water.
"Will it be lonely to stay in the plateau for a long time?" Listening to the reporter's question, Corporal Cheng Jin shook his head and broke his finger to list a bunch of "warm things": Each dormitory has a TV, and you can watch the news every day; the superiors have installed communication equipment for the training site to ensure that the mobile phone has a signal to facilitate everyone to call home; there is a gym in the camp, a field culture tent, you can watch movies and sing karaoke; the restaurant tent has a stove and a stereo, and you can listen to music when eating...
"There are more than these practical things that our superiors have done for us." Wang Yanchao, who was traveling with him, took over the stubble and said, "Although our battalion is stationed separately for training, as long as the soldiers need it, the superiors basically think of it." ”
"The Tibet Military Region has procured and installed container board rooms for all the troops who spent the winter in the field at high altitudes for the first time, and each dormitory has been equipped with a stove and sufficient coal, and the temperature can reach more than 20 degrees Celsius at night. It was cold again, and the warriors didn't get cold. Wang Yanchao said.
The next day, the reporter learned from Zhu Xiayu, the political commissar of the brigade, that Wang Yanchao had been working in the regular camp post for 8 years, and had been an instructor for 6 years, spending the Spring Festival with the soldiers every year.
The reporter felt that it was a party member cadre like Wang Yanchao who was like a pot of burning "charcoal fire", warming the "forbidden area of life" for training and preparing for war, and warming the snowy plateau!

Recently, the temperature in the Altay region of Xinjiang has plummeted, with the lowest temperature reaching minus 45 degrees Celsius. Officers and men of the Takshken Border Defense Company of a certain border defense regiment of the Army stationed on the banks of the Burgen River on the China-Mongolia border braved the severe cold and the wind and snow to persist in patrolling to the point and loyally guarding the border defense line of the motherland.
The Jimunai Border Defense Company of the Altay Military Sub-district maintains the safety of the lives and property of the people at the border checkpoints—
-29°C, snowy jungle drives away wolves
■ Wang Zibing, reporter of The People's Liberation Army Daily, Li Lei, reporter of China National Defense Daily, and Tong Xinyu
In the deep winter of Jimunai County, Xinjiang, the ice and snow are affected by the continuous low temperature and cold tide, and there are frequent traces of wolves foraging along the border, and the safety of herders' lives and property is seriously threatened. In early February, the Jimunai Border Defense Company of the Xinjiang Altay Military Sub-district joined forces with the stationed police station, militia and the masses to carry out a wolf exorcism operation.
"The Jimunai Border Guard Company is stationed on the edge of the Akum Desert, and the garrison jungle is connected to the desert, and there are many wild animals such as wild boars, shuffle foxes, wolves and so on." Hailati, deputy chief of staff of the regiment and a Kazakh cadre who led the team, introduced that dozens of livestock of 5 herdsmen have been bitten to death.
In order to cope with the situation that may occur when encountering wolves, officers and soldiers not only carried guns, but also brought firecrackers, torches and iron rods, and Kazakh herdsmen who have lived on the border for many years also made "wolf smoke" from gunpowder and cow dung in firecrackers.
"Wolves are afraid of fire and metal crashing, firecrackers can't be used much, and after using them a few times, they are not afraid." While leading the way, Gasanbek popularized the knowledge of wolf exorcism in the wild to officers and soldiers. In the severe cold of 29 ° C, officers and soldiers wade through the forest and sand all the way, firing "wolf smoke" as they walked, and from time to time arranged grass people in the bushes and snow to deter wolves.
"There are suspicious footprints here!" Suddenly, the fourth-level sergeant major Wang Liang found several strands of footprints on the snow. Everyone gathered around, only to see a string of shallow footprints extending deep into the jungle on the white snow, and Helati carefully observed and judged that it was the footprints of wolves: "The footprints of wolves are larger than the footprints of dogs, and they walk very lightly, there will be no traces of too deep, but the claw tips are more obvious." ”
Following the footprints left by the wolves, the officers and soldiers searched forward while firing "wolf smoke." Suddenly, in the bushes more than ten meters ahead, there was a loud bang.
"There are wolves!" Gasan Buick whispered a warning, but before he could light the firecrackers, the wolves had quickly disappeared into the depths of the snowy sea.
"We have a lot of people, and we still have guys with us, and the wolf is very smart and hides quickly!" GasanBek said, piling up "wolf smoke" around it and lighting it.
"Stationed in the place where the wolves are infested, everyone has a certain understanding of the habits of wolves." Wang Liang said that before the wolf exorcism operation, the company specially mobilized and trained, studied countermeasures separately in view of the situation of encountering lone wolves and wolves in the wild, summed up the 16-character recipe of "calmly looking at each other, looking for fire, bending back, and making noises.", and also printed a leaflet on wolf repellent knowledge and distributed it to the people stationed in the area.
On foot for more than 10 kilometers, officers and soldiers walked around the winter grazing grounds of the herders, and the "wolf smoke" they carried had been exhausted. After the wolf exorcism operation, the officers and men of the company also helped the herders to strengthen the sheep pen, although it could not eradicate the wolf infestation, but it could allow them to have a safe and peaceful Spring Festival.
"To maintain the tranquility of border customs and the safety of the lives and property of the masses, the children and soldiers have an unshirkable duty." Lu Hailati, who returned to the company, said: Officers and men stationed here all year round should not only strictly control poaching, but also reduce the occurrence of wolf infestation and live up to the trust of the masses.

A brigade of Wuxi Joint Logistics Support Center Accelerates the Generation of Support Capabilities—
Joint Training First Joint Training Joint training is more united
■ People's Liberation Army Daily reporter Lai Yuhong special correspondent Gao Jie and Huang Xiaohua
On the ninth cold day, the snow crushed the branches, the land of East China, and many emergency support forces moved at the behest of the order.
At about 6:00 a.m., the special transport detachment of an independent automobile battalion received an emergency pull order, the officers and men were fully armed and quickly put in place, and dozens of transport vehicles quickly drove out of the camp area within the specified time; the emergency delivery detachment of materials from a certain comprehensive warehouse sent the supplies, fuel, ammunition, and other materials specified in the base number to the designated area; the comprehensive surgical team of the 101st Hospital quickly assembled and set off with combat readiness materials and medicines and equipment.
Over the past few days, a certain brigade of the Wuxi Joint Logistics Support Center has dispatched mobile support modules such as transportation, medical treatment, fuel, and materials from camps, caves, and hospitals thousands of miles away to test the real readiness of the task troops and their support and support capabilities.
The reporter saw in the brigade's combat service duty room that Yu Chunhui, a staff officer on duty, used the comprehensive duty system for joint logistics support to monitor and record the emergency pull of the emergency support detachment to which he belonged in real time. "After such an emergency pull, the organization will be normalized, so that the concept of real fighting and preparation will penetrate deeply into the officers and men." Yu Chunhui told reporters.
Before the readjustment and reform, the support brigade was pre-arranged in the former joint logistics branch in peacetime, and consisted of scattered support modules such as ammunition, fuel, materials, and sanitation.
"It's different now!" The brigade leader told this reporter that under the new joint logistics support system, they serve as the fist force of the joint logistics support units and implement battlefield support for the combat troops. To this end, from the very beginning of the readjustment and formation, they have focused on building a fast and efficient support force for peacetime and wartime integration, insisted on focusing on the main battalion and the main owner of the special division, focused all their work on combat effectiveness and exerted force on the support force, trained troops while preparing, and prepared for war while advancing.
Joint training precedes joint training, and joint training is more united. Subsequently, in connection with this inspection, they stepped up the pace of preparations for war; the brigade leaders led the team to visit the joint command and combat units in the docking theater, and initially established systems and mechanisms such as regular contacts, situation sharing, and joint exercises and joint training; all departments of the organs and departments persisted in taking the joint as the guideline and integrating the system, formulated and improved the annual training plan and the special training plan, and adopted the method of first dividing and then combining, organizing various modules to carry out integrated training, and ensuring that the task detachments could pull out, go up, and keep it well at any time.
Last year, shortly after the brigade was readjusted and formed, it organized a field medical team from a hospital and a field oil team from a certain comprehensive warehouse to participate in the field army's live-fire exercise, explored ways to integrate the joint logistics support module into the joint combat method, and achieved a series of practical results, such as the evaluation standards for the combat effectiveness of the support module.

A certain land aviation brigade of the 72nd Group Army focused on the needs of the battlefield to enhance the ability to win the war-
A new leap in the "Treetop Killer"
■ Jiefangjun Daily reporter Dai Feng Special correspondent Zeng Tao correspondent Yin Hu
Jinling in the deep winter, the cold wind is biting. In the early morning of 2 February, two helicopter gunships of a certain land aviation brigade of the 72nd Group Army quickly took off, flew along the undulating terrain and stuck to the treetops, evaded the detection of the "enemy" radar, successfully carried out ultra-low altitude concealed penetration, and once again tested and improved a new method of operations.
"As a new type of combat force, the land aviation unit is the fist force for carrying out air assault and three-dimensional strikes under the conditions of informationization in the future, and it must seize the opportunity and take advantage of the momentum." Brigade Commander Sheng Jianzhong said: Over the years, the brigade has insisted on training troops as they fight, from support and support to the main battle, from regional defense to all-domain operations, and from land operations to maritime operations.
The time is not waiting for me to train troops and prepare for war. A few years ago, the brigade took the lead in installing a certain new type of helicopter gunship, and there was no teaching material to follow and no experience to learn from in the training. Despite the difficulties, Sheng Jianzhong, then chief of staff, did not hesitate to submit an application for "first flight" to the party committee and issued a military order that "one month can fly, half a year can fight, and one year can fight."
With the courage to dare to break through and not accept defeat, the officers and men of the brigade flew out with impressive achievements: The "first flight" of the whole army's army aviation unit was achieved in 21 days of installation, the "first bullet" of the whole army's army aviation unit was fired in 158 days, and the "first battle" of the joint combat exercise was launched in less than a year.
With the participation of helicopters, the exercise also seems to have "ascended to a higher level," but the pilots of the land aviation have little understanding of the operational intentions and combat background of the ground commanders, and the helicopters "fly high and fly away high," resulting in the phenomenon of "looking at each other" in the air-ground exercise becoming more and more prominent.
A group of people in the party committee of the brigade were keenly aware of the need to change the outdated ideology and concept of "you fight yours and I fly mine" and speed up the transformation of the army aviation units from support and support to the main battle.
They turned passive into active, and in each joint exercise, they set up a special command post, from campaign planning to specific tactical details, relevant commanders and pilots intervened throughout the process, and held face-to-face consultations and exchanges with fraternal units. They also took the initiative to establish a long-term cooperation mechanism with the military academies and universities stationed in the garrison and the friendly and neighboring units, and successively solved the problem of data connectivity with naval ships, air force early warning aircraft, army special operations detachments, and other multi-service services, so as to realize the sharing of situation and resources.
Iron wings swirled and smoke filled the air. During a joint exercise, when a pilot of the brigade was performing battlefield reconnaissance, he found that 1 mobile artillery detachment and 3 loaders on the blue side were detouring towards the flank of the red side. The situation is urgent! The pilot quickly reported the situation to the Red Command Post, used his own firepower to accurately strike the armored targets, and at the same time guided the ground fire detachment to carry out fire destruction on the mobile artillery detachment, and reported the damage effect to the command post in a timely manner. After the war, the commander of the Red Side spoke highly of this: "The army aviation units took the initiative to integrate into the system, and the main battle was used, and the contribution was indispensable." ”
