Chapter 103 Class 8

Deputy head Kong nodded when he saw this scene, and then patted Lin Yi on the shoulder, "Okay, I'll leave it to you in class 8. If you don't understand anything, ask the leader of class 8. He's an old frontier guard. I explained it very clearly to you."

As all the staff saluted again, deputy head Kong and assistant Xu did not hesitate, and quickly set foot on the way back.

Frontier defense is no better than other places. There is no hesitation at all, and things must be done cleanly. After all, the natural environment is harsh, and people are not allowed to procrastinate.

Lin Yi had been inconvenient for seven hours, and wanted to go to the toilet at this time, so he looked at the monitor of No. 8, "Can I go to the toilet first?"

Squad 8 nodded quickly, "Of course, and then put a walkie-talkie on Lin Yi's body. We have a rule that you must bring a walkie-talkie when you go to the toilet at night, and you must also bring it in bad weather during the day."

Lin Yi was stunned by these words, "How come going to the toilet is like going on a mission, you must bring an intercom."

But when he saw that he had to climb two three-meter-high snow-capped mountains before reaching the dry toilet, Lin Yi breathed out, "It seems that the walkie-talkie must be carried with you, otherwise it will be stuck in the snowdrift and you will not be able to get out. "

Squad leader 8 smiled when he heard it. The snow bank could not be planted because it was accumulated by wind and snow for three days. The snow was very firm, just like a desert.

Lin Yi climbed up with both hands and feet, and found that it was really strong, and his feet landed on it, leaving only one footprint.

But he didn't dare to jump, snow is snow after all, it's not bad if he can hold a person's weight, and he will definitely fall into it if he jumps.

After crossing two snow hills, Lin Yi came to the dry toilet. Because there was a door blocking it, the inside was not blown in by the wind and snow. However, it can be seen from the snow shovel marks of the shovel that the toilet door must be buried by snow passed.

After solving my personal problems, I ran back to the post to wash my hands and face, and was about to go out to feel the warm sunshine, when suddenly the 8th squad leader grabbed me.

"Don't go out."

This scene frightened Lin Yi. Although it was minus [-] degrees outside, we wore thick clothes, and the sun was so bright that it wasn't cold at all.

Squad leader 8 pointed to the water on Lin Yi's face and said, "Platoon Leader Lin, you didn't know it when you first came to the post. If you have water on your skin, you can't go out. Otherwise, if you are blown by the wind, your mouth will burst immediately."

It doesn't matter if we have been guarding the border all year round. Who doesn't have chilblains all over his hands and cracked skin on his face.

You are different, if you don’t take good care of yourself, don’t go back to the regiment, the regiment says we abused you.

Hiss, there is water on the skin, it will split when blown by the wind, and then blood flows?

Lin Yi didn't dare to imagine, and quickly took out a tissue from his pocket to wipe off the water stains on his skin.

8 Squad leader saw that Lin Yi had no intention of going out, so he took out the work log and handed it over, "If you want to know how the outpost operates, just look at the log. The guards are on duty every hour, and the patrol personnel don't stand guard. They are specially prepared for the evening shift. Two people come to the full-time night shift, so that other fighters will not lose their spirits during the day."

The route we patrol is a bit far away, and we have to hike for more than six hours a day, so we have to eat lunch outside.

Under normal circumstances, it is biscuits with snow. Unless there is a festival, you can bring self-heating dry food, but it is not very useful to bring self-heating dry food in winter.

You think, you have to put the snow in your arms to warm it up first, then turn it into water, and then soak in self-heating dry food. It’s too cold to cook, half-cooked, it’s better to eat dry food, anyway, it’s just a meal, just put it on. Just pad it.

It's no big deal to eat more in the morning and eat more in the evening.

Then squad leader 8 found a small horse to sit down, "We can't sleep on the bed during the day, and if we have nothing to do and want to play cards, we can go to the restaurant and sit there. It's not messy and easy to clean up. The outpost is not big, and there are not many places to stay. Usually You work in the conference room, which is a big place, except for a small meeting in the conference room at night to summarize the current work, there is basically nothing.”

The outpost is actually not dangerous. If any unexpected enemy wants to march from here, nature will teach him a lesson. I have worked as a frontier guard for more than ten years and have never encountered an enemy.

Our biggest enemy is the harsh environment and loneliness. Class 8 now has 12 people, including you 13. You can still talk when you first come here. After a month, you will have nothing to say, and you will understand.

Like the soldiers who have worked here for a year, many times, they don't need to speak, they all know what to do with every movement and expression. There is no way, they really understand it too well.

Our mobile phone doesn’t have internet, only the walkie-talkie has a signal, and we don’t usually dare to use the remote intercom at the regiment headquarters, so we can only use the small intercom in the station.

In fact, the work of the outpost is very complicated, but sometimes it is very easy.

Let’s talk less, you have to take care of everything you eat and drink, even how much diesel is left in the generator, you have to worry about it all the time, in case a snowstorm blows and cuts off the power, and there is no electricity available.

But if you want to talk too much, there are only a dozen people in the outpost, how can there be more?

At this time, the deputy squad leader and the backup personnel had already put on shovels and snow shovels, "Squad leader, then you continue to explain the work to platoon leader Lin. I will take people to shovel the snow first. No matter what, I have to shovel out the playground."

Squad leader No. 8 nodded, "Okay, come back in two hours and change people. The weather is too cold to work for a long time."

Seeing this, Lin also pulled up the cold mask, put on a cotton cap and was ready to go out, "Let's do it together."

Squad 8 held Lin Yi back, "If you can't run away, we'll bring them in after two hours. Snow shoveling in plateau areas is not as easy as you think. prevent emergencies."

Lin Yi then took off the cold mask to his neck, "Okay, then you continue to introduce."

In fact, there are not many things to introduce about life and work, the most important thing is the armory.

Squad leader 8 took Lin Yi to the armory, pointed to the weapons inside, "You are from a big place, and the weapons here are all individual weapons, you must be familiar with them, after all, the outpost has this condition, there are An individual weapon is enough."

Lin Yi reached out and picked up the white holster on the gun, a little curious.

Squad leader 8 smiled, "You have never seen this kind of thing before. It is only equipped in extremely cold areas like ours, in order to prevent the gun from being frozen and unable to fire."

Lin Yi knew that the 95 rifle was a durable rifle, but he didn't expect that he had to wear clothes in this kind of weather. The environment here was really cruel.

Then squad leader 8 took Lin Yi to the kitchen. One of the soldiers in charge of the kitchen was a five-year veteran with pretty good cooking skills. "Old Wu, come and call someone."

Corporal Wu trotted over quickly and saluted: "Platoon Leader Lin, I'm making stewed noodles with tomatoes for you. I put a few slices of yak meat in it, so you can eat well."

Squad leader 8 explained: "It's our tradition to go out to make dumplings and return home with noodles. The noodles in plateau areas don't taste as good as yours, but the tradition can't be changed, so please understand."

Lin Yi didn't expect Class 8 to be so hospitable, so he waved his hands again and again, "I just like to eat soft noodles, Lao Wu, hurry up and make them, I'm a little hungry."

Corporal Wu looked happy, "Okay, I'll do it now."
