The Alamari Border Defense Company of a certain border defense regiment of the Xinjiang Military Region is stationed in the depths of the Tianshan Mountains and undertakes the task of border defense, and is the birthplace of the song "Chairman Mao's Soldiers Listen to the Party's Words The Most." Over the past 50 -odd years since the founding of the company, generations of officers and men have taken the spirit of "one heart to the party, arduous struggle, bravery and tenacity, and sacrifice and dedication" as a family heirloom, and have practiced the mission and responsibility of the new generation of border guards with practical actions.
Jin Xin, instructor of the Alamali Border Defense Company: Comrades, according to the recommendation of the league branch, the nomination of the party group, and the study of the branch committee, we plan to develop 4 active members who joined the party in the second quarter, namely Liu Chunlei, Bai Rongkang, Zhao Songsong, and Zhang Haoyang.
According to the company practice, the active members who join the party are stationed in the nest of the barracks of a generation for one day. In 1962, the first border station chief, Gao Liye, led 10 soldiers to the deserted snow-capped mountain Lone Peak, and all the belongings at that time were a tricho-ryrdate camel and an iron pot and two shovels. The officers and men ate wild vegetables, dug nests, patrolled while engaging in construction, and built border defense stations in Alamali. The first generation of barracks was the nest built by the officers and soldiers at that time.
In 1963, Li Zhijin, then the propaganda officer of the Ili Military Sub-district, was squatting in the company and living in a nest, and he was deeply touched by the spirit of the border guards who had no complaints, no regrets, and optimism, and composed the popular song "Chairman Mao's Fighters Listen to the Party The Most.". This song also became a song of the Alamari Border Defense Company.
Li Zhijin, lyricist of "Chairman Mao's Soldiers Listen to the Party The Most": I came to this squatting point and lived with them for several months, so I was very familiar with the border guards in the early days of the station. I'm not a musician, nor am I a composer. This song is the common voice of our border guards.
At that time, the border defense station was actually a mountain, and the soldiers started from scratch, just as the lyrics wrote, the soldiers really took root in the border defense. Firm conviction and full of enthusiasm stem from the strong execution and cohesion of the party organization. Today's Alamali Border Guard Company, the task of defending is still arduous.
Li Cheng, commander of the Alamari Border Defense Company: Our defense area is basically a mountainous terrain, with longitudinal ravines, dense vegetation, and abundant wild animal and plant resources. Our patrol roads are often damaged, and in the winter, the snow closes the mountain, and when the snow is thickest, it can go over my neck, and it is difficult to provide support. The main task of our zone is to patrol the borders of the country and maintain border facilities.
Faced with such a difficult defensive task, the party branch of the company gave full play to its role as a fighting fortress and made every party member a banner. Soldier Sun Yubo enlisted in the Alamari Border Defense Company at the age of 18 and has been in the company for 10 years. During this time, he served as a furnace worker, hygienist, military horse breeder and squad leader. Due to his outstanding performance, Sun Yubo officially became a communist party member in 2018.
Alamari Border Defense Company Soldier Sun Yubo: When I first came to the company, the company arranged for me to raise horses and burn boilers, and at this time there was a big gap in my heart, because in my mind, I felt that this unit was a training ground filled with gun smoke, and at this time, our instructor found out in time, so he found an old squad leader to do ideological work for me and changed my working state in time.
Today's Sun Yubo is not only a "living map" on the patrol road, but also an all-round talent in the company, he will lead soldiers, can rescue the battlefield, can raise horses, and physical training is also a strong point. The soldiers he brought were as good as his, and the horses he raised rarely got sick.
"Excellent skills are praised by everyone, and the side cards are full of five good flowers" is the lyrics, but also the oath, rooted in border defense, and the ordinary work to the extreme, not only Sun Yubo, but the common pursuit of generations of officers and soldiers of the Alamari Border Defense Company, but also their inheritance of red genes, adhering to the fine tradition, and continuing to write the legend of red songs.
At the Dacaopo post under the jurisdiction of the company, there is a "party group diary", which records the key requirements made by the party group of the post and the warm stories of the party group members. Looking through the diary, we saw that it recorded the story of the establishment of a temporary party branch at the Dacaopo outpost to help Uighur soldier Dilimurati learn Chinese.
Alamali Border Guard Company Soldier Dilimurati: When I first came to the company, I felt like a mute, I couldn't say what I wanted to say, I couldn't communicate with everyone, I was helpless.
Dilimurati was the only Uighur fighter in the company, and when he first arrived at the company, he didn't speak Mandarin well, making it difficult to communicate with everyone.
Alamali Border Guard Company Soldier Dilimurati: Once I was on the phone with my mother, our squad leader knew Uyghur, and he understood that I was complaining to my family. Then he took me to the "Brother Tree" and told the story of the "Brother Tree".
The "Brother Tree" is a pine tree with two roots attached to each other and grown shoulder to shoulder, planted 46 years ago by the Uyghur warrior Tuxun and the squad leader Wang Zhe, who, like Dilimurati, spoke the same language, but with the help of Wang Zhe, gradually eliminated the communication barrier with everyone. These two trees are thus named "Brother Trees". In order to help Dilimurati improve his Chinese, the temporary party branch bought him a dictionary and organized party group members to teach him Chinese characters in turn and accompany him to read newspapers. In ordinary communication, comrades-in-arms corrected his pronunciation at any time and explained sentences that he did not understand.
Alamali Border Guard Company Soldier Dilimurati: I speak Chinese much better now, I am now a military horse breeder, the squad leader and comrades in arms have given me a lot of help in language, especially good for me in training and work, we are like brothers.
In the Alamali Border Defense Company, every quarter will be selected to "compete to be the red heir", and the party branch will select the most militarily competent soldiers in this quarter and become the leader of the red song, which is not only an honor, but also a kind of encouragement. The red inheritance of the spirit of Lian Ge is the mission entrusted to every officer and soldier of the Alamali Border Defense Company.
Jin Xin, instructor of the Alamari Border Defense Company: The spirit of Geng's red song is precisely derived from the precious red genes condensed by the predecessors in the revolutionary period, and in the new era, we will unswervingly listen to the party and follow the party, fulfill the duties and missions of border defense, and guard the northwest border pass of the motherland.
The officers and men of the Alamari Border Defense Company withstood the tests of bitterness and joy, life and death, patrolled the road, and let the song of "Chairman Mao's Soldiers Listen to the Party The Most" spread to every corner of the defense zone, and they wrote with firmness and persistence the struggle course of the officers and men of the Red Song Company of "single-mindedly to the party, arduous struggle, heroic and tenacious, and sacrifice and dedication."
