Snowy Barracks Cute "Big Black"
Li Liankuan
We are the fourth company of a certain frontier regiment of the Tibet Military Region, stationed at the southern foot of the Himalayas all the year round, the border line and Nepal across the river, the environment is difficult, the climate is harsh, the surrounding snow-capped mountains are inconvenient, the transportation is inconvenient, far away from the county seat and the regiment headquarters, the information is blocked, the cultural life is boring, the soldiers watch the soldiers during the day, and count the stars at night, which is a true portrayal here.
The newspapers that had been delivered here for a long time became monthly or quarterly, and the officers and men were able to memorize the contents of the newspapers backwards, and they were called "isolated islands in the snowy mountains." The company fed a big black dog, and the officers and men called it "big black", loyal to the officers and soldiers, and became the amiable and lovely companion of the officers and men, often following the officers and soldiers to stand guard and patrol on duty, and protect the peace of the company.
In the early 80s, the officers and men of the company went to Chentanggou to patrol, but the terrain was dangerous, the road was narrow, it was raining, and the road was slippery, so they could only climb the dangerous rocks and walk; if they did not pay attention to it, they would fall into the abyss and break their bones, and after six or seven hours of hard work, they successfully completed the patrol task. When the officers and men returned from patrolling and walked to the entrance of Chentang Village, they suddenly saw a little black dog barking, drenched like a chicken in soup, soaked all over, and very pitiful. The warrior Xiao Yang picked up the dog, dried the water on the dog with a towel, took out the canned meat for the dog to eat, and put it next to the village house. When ready to leave, the dog followed the officers and soldiers, unwilling to stay there alone. The puppy ran out and took it back again, two or three times in a row, the puppy still had to follow the officers and soldiers, and the officers and soldiers really had no choice but to take the stray dog back to the company to feed it, and named it "Da Hei". Since then, the "big black" has been associated with the officers and soldiers.
Every day, the soldiers carefully fed the "big black", and gave some bones and leftovers to the "big black" to eat every meal, especially the soldiers in the cooking class liked the "big black" even more, and specially made dog food and kennel with the "big black". When the troops were having dinner, the "big black" circled around the table in the cafeteria, and the officers and men sandwiched some meat for it to eat.
In order to train the "big black", the fighters spent a lot of effort, and when they had nothing to do, they taught it to lie down, stand up, run and other actions, recognize things, and not eat the food fed by strangers, but only eat the food fed by the master, so that the "big black" can develop good living habits from an early age. During the training "Big Black", the fighters took off their military uniforms, dressed as strangers, wore padded jackets and cotton gloves, and were specially designed for dog bites. After four or five months of training, this dog has a very high spiritual spirit, and is able to obey the commands of the soldiers, except for the officers and soldiers of the company who give it food to eat, strangers will not eat the food that feeds it.
Whenever he saw a stranger entering the camp, the "big black" would scream loudly and bite someone. In less than a year, "Da Hei" grew into a big dog, like a Tibetan mastiff, very fierce, with a strong body, a wide head, a wooden shape at the top of the head, and a voice a bit like a wolf's howl. The officers and men have been with the "big black" for a long time, and the "big black" is very humane and has a deep affection for the officers and men. Every day, he had to walk around the dormitories of the officers and men, shaking his head and tail to greet the officers and men. Walking around the camp at night, I like to lie next to the guard shed at the gate, accompany the soldiers standing guard, look east and west, and the vigilance is relatively high, and I find suspicious people screaming.
At two o'clock in the middle of the night, people had already entered a sweet dreamland, more than 100 meters away from the "big black", a thief was ready to climb over the company wall to come in and steal something, the sense of smell was sensitive, the eyes were bright "big black", after finding out, quickly ran to bite the thief's pants, and the soldiers standing guard captured him.
When the soldiers are fine, everyone likes to tease the "big black", and the "big black" also likes the master, is grateful to the officers and soldiers, obeys the command, and does whatever he is told. Every time the officers and men of the company went to patrol the border line, they brought the "big black" with them, and the "big black" bravely rushed to the front to open the way for the patrol. When they found that the road ahead was in danger, the "big black" shouted loudly to remind the patrol officers and men to pay attention to safety.
The officers and men were going to leave the company and go back to the interior for vacation, and the "big black" was to be delivered to the gate of the barracks, and they shouted a few times, meaning that they wished them a smooth journey. When he returned to the company from vacation, "Dahei" ran to the gate to greet him, wagging his tail. When the officers and men returned to the company on leave, they had to bring some food for the "big black" to eat. When it finishes eating, it calls a few times to show its gratitude. Every year when the veterans are discharged, the "big black" bites the luggage of the veterans at the gate of the barracks, licks the veterans, sheds tears, screams loudly, and is reluctant to let the veterans go. The scenes touched the officers and men again and again, and I really don't know how many officers and men were sent away by the "big black" to welcome them back, bringing joy and adding fun to the officers and men.
After I left the company, I heard that the "big black" lived for more than 9 years and died of old age. After the death of "Dahei", the officers and soldiers buried it next to the barracks and built a grave to commemorate it.
