On the Occasion of National Day, when the whole country is celebrating and the families are reunited, thousands of officers and men still stick to the border defense line and use their sacrifices and dedication to protect the happiness and well-being of the motherland and the people. During the festival, the officers and men of the Tibet Military Region always stuck to their battle positions and patrolled the border defense line of the motherland.
During the festival, the officers and men stationed at the highest altitude of the whole army, the "Plateau Shubian Model Battalion," embarked on a patrol road again, and this time the destination of their patrol was the Chutan Nimala Pass, which is dozens of kilometers away from the garrison, at an altitude of more than 6,000 meters.
Plateau Shubian Model Battalion Soldier Xia Zhouzhuo: We have been walking along the glacier now, and we have about three kilometers to go.
The so-called patrol road, can not be called a road at all, is a small road that generations of officers and soldiers have used their youth and life to walk out of for decades, in addition to the cold and lack of oxygen, along the way is also accompanied by ubiquitous dangers, officers and soldiers in addition to avoiding the rocks that fall on the cliff at any time, but also pay attention to the ice cracks hidden in the glacier, once stepped on the air, the consequences are unimaginable, every time you climb the glacier, you have to use a rope to connect everyone. Even so, officers and men rushed to sign up for each patrol.
Zhang Liang, company commander of the "Plateau Shubian Model Battalion" in Gangba, Tibet Military Region: As far as our officers and men are concerned, they are all proud of their hardships and proud of their heights, and whether they have ever guarded the highest outposts or walked the most arduous patrol roads.
At the Kunmuga post at an altitude of 4900 meters, the average annual temperature is less than 5 °C, the oxygen content in the air is only half of the sea level, the wind blows stones to run, and the cotton jacket worn in all seasons is a true portrayal of the environment of the post. Qin Hui served in the Kunmuga post for 16 years, walked all the patrol roads of the company, and was famous for his living map and border defense.
Qin Hui, a soldier of a border defense regiment of the Tibet Military Region: Patrolling was originally our task, and now we can do a little more, and if we take off our military uniforms in the future, we will not have a chance to go again, and we are really reluctant because there are our youth and memories on the patrol road.
During the patrol, Qin Hui kept walking at the front of the line, constantly reminding the new comrades behind him of the precautions. After arriving at the boundary marker, the officers and men carefully surveyed the surrounding situation. Solemnly paint the boundary monument red as a tribute to the great motherland.
Xue Shanding, commander of a border defense company of the Tibet Military Region: The boundary monument is a symbol of the motherland's territorial sovereignty, and every time I see him, I have a lot of feelings, I feel that he is like a medal, every time we guard him and wipe him, this sense of happiness cannot be expressed in words.
In order to safeguard the tranquility of the motherland, during the festival, the Tibet Military Region increased the intensity of border control and control, increased the frequency of troop patrols, and on the more than 3,000 kilometers of Tibet's border defense line, there were the figures of border officers and men patrolling the border, fighting the wind and sand, fighting the cold, resisting hypoxia, and casting a barrier for the motherland's security with their chests.
