They are all in the army, who is in love?

Chapter 302 Guarding the border, a stubborn lone figure in the morning

Seeing the soldiers of the Second Border Guard Company in the distance, carefully holding flower pots and running into the dormitory, the people in the second class didn't want to talk about this. Chen Ming sighed and quickly followed the steps of the five people and walked towards the cafeteria.

Under the leadership of squad leader Xiong Changjiu, six people lined up and walked into the cafeteria.

It is said to be a canteen. The architectural layout here is no different from other places. It is just a larger bungalow with more than ten large wooden tables inside.

The tabletops also looked old and had many holes and holes. They looked weathered and there were several tables with stories behind them.

Fortunately, the table legs are all original.

Several people in the cooking class were sitting at the table chatting. When they saw them coming in, one of the soldiers stood up and said with a smile: "Old Xiong, I knew that your second class would take advantage of the new comrades to come over and eat together."

"Wait, I'll bring you the food right now."

"Hey, let's get some more game and give it to the new comrades to try." The bald Shen Zufei shouted loudly. After saying this, he sat down on the bench like an old man and waited for the meal.

The people in the cooking class were not surprised, so they turned around and ran to the back room of the canteen to get their meals.

Chen Ming seemed a little embarrassed. It was true that each place had its own custom. Maybe it wasn't during dinner time. The people in the second shift were very casual, not as strict as those in the Artillery Brigade and Synthesis 169 Brigade.

Speaking of game, Chen Ming couldn't help but look forward to it. He was indeed hungry. He ate some vermicelli soup in the town when he came here and almost consumed it on the way up the mountain.

But this expectation did not last long, when the people from the cooking class came over carrying two wooden buckets.

Chen Ming was completely dumbfounded, what the hell is this called game? ! ! !
One of the wooden barrels contained rice and some steamed buns, and the other wooden barrel contained three plates of vegetables, one plate of blanched cabbage, one plate of stir-fried vegetables, and another plate that was so dark that the original ingredients could not be seen.

It looks like wild vegetables and scrambled eggs.

"Come on, come on, you're welcome, Chen Ming, let's eat." The bald man enthusiastically ran to the side to get bowls and chopsticks, helped fill a large bowl of rice, and pushed it to Chen Ming.

Forehead.
He really wasn't being pretentious. No matter how you looked at this dark dish, it looked like a small set meal. The toilet was so far away and on the top of a mountain. Chen Ming really couldn't stop talking.

But at this time, the squad leader and the others had already started eating, and they were eating with gusto.

Seeing this, Chen Ming couldn't help but ask: "Squad leader, has our food always been of this standard?"

Hearing this, Xiong Jiujiu raised his huge head from the rice bowl, looked at Chen Ming's untouched rice bowl, scratched his head out of habit, and said with an embarrassed smile: "Occasionally, it will improve."

"Eat, eat. Although our food doesn't look good, it still tastes good. It's salty."

He also knows that the first-class food here in the border defense company can be said to be the worst in the army.

But this is helpless. They don't have a refrigerator here, and the weather is the most natural storage cabinet, but that doesn't work. To purchase supplies, you have to go to the county town to buy them. The distance is far and it takes too long.

It's just too much trouble.

Even if the number of the Second Company of Border Defense is small, there are still six or seventy people, plus the cooking team. If they go shopping for food, they will get up early and work hard all day, and bring back enough for three or four meals at most, and then it will be gone.

In other words, if you want good food, you have to go out every two days. The border guards cannot have so much time to waste on this.

Choose between the two, so only from time to time, the company commander will organize people to go out for procurement and occasionally improve it.

Hearing this, Chen Ming frowned and looked at the food in the bowl with a look of embarrassment on his face, but he felt more admiration in his heart.

He has only been here for a day, and he already feels that life here has been torturous. How did the soldiers who have been staying here survive for how many years they have been on duty?

Thinking about it, Chen Ming could only helplessly pick up the vegetable leaves and put them into his mouth.

It was indeed as the squad leader said, it was salty but not oily at all, so he almost swallowed it with force.

But when Chen Ming looked up and saw that his comrades in the second class were eating very delicious food, he could only continue to suffer and swallow it.

This dinner was quite unforgettable.

After the meal, the soldiers of the second squad did not go back to the dormitory directly. Almost the entire company stood at the door of the company, waiting for the patrolling comrades of the second platoon to return.

Here, there is no phone signal, and because the weather is too cold, mobile phones cannot be turned on. TVs are a luxury, let alone computer rooms.

But this does not mean that there is no high technology. There are no permanent troops stationed at the top of the mountain at the highest altitude, but a large number of high-definition surveillance equipment for automatic monitoring are installed.

During the daily patrol of the Second Company of Border Defense, they climbed to a high altitude of more than 5000 meters and could see the White Elephant Military Camp and White Elephant Post not far away, with an unobstructed view.

One of the tasks of the patrol is to check the conditions of the monitoring equipment installed on the mountain top.

According to the soldiers in the squad, in the White Elephant-controlled area they were on duty, the White Elephant Army had been spotted illegally crossing the border many times and causing trouble. Monitoring equipment installed on the top of the mountain closely monitored their whereabouts at all times.

Issuing early warning reports in a timely manner will buy valuable time for our own officers and soldiers to intervene in a timely manner.

If the scale is small, then the soldiers of the Second Border Defense Company will run over and do their thing. If the scale is large, then increase the intelligence level by level and quickly assemble the troops to prepare for the battle.

Anyway, with the monitoring equipment there, the entire assembly and preparation process of Baixiang's army is completely under the surveillance of the highlands, and they can make response preparations at any time.

Chen Ming felt a surge of anger as he listened. The people's greatest wish is that our soldiers do not need to be on duty or patrolling in such an environment.

The two countries can not interfere with each other and live in peace, but these are ultimately their wishes. If the other side is unwilling to do so and does not think so, then naturally our side cannot relax its vigilance and be prepared at all times.

While waiting for the patrol platoon to return, the soldiers from the second squad also specifically told Chen Ming about the process of developing this outpost from scratch.

It was in [-] that the first batch of old border guards set up camp here under extremely difficult conditions with three camels, a pot, a tent and seven guns.

From the place where I lived in the beginning, there was only one tent, and there was only a marching pot for cooking, to the area where the Second Company of Border Defense is now stationed. This post has also been weathered.

According to squad leader Xiong Changjiu, the big stone at the entrance of the station was where the tents were pitched. Now more than 60 years have passed, and the only thing that remains unchanged is the stone and the determination of the border guards to guard the borders of the motherland.

That stone together witnessed the life of officers and soldiers fighting for the world and guarding the border in that era.

Chen Ming looked at the quaint and old entrance of the company, feeling emotional in his heart. Although he had only been here for a few hours, his senses were constantly changing.

When I first came here, I looked at everything that was old here. It was incredible and I was surprised everywhere I looked.

Looking back now, it seems that all items have their own origins and stories, even the big black stone on the left side of the company entrance, for all the soldiers of the Second Border Defense Company.

That is also "one's own", and its name is: Rooting Stone.

Waiting until nearly twelve o'clock, the soldiers patrolling the second platoon finally returned. Except for a few bruises, there were no other serious injuries.

The entire second company then arranged to go back to the dormitory to rest.

Chen Ming lay on the bed, found a position that he thought was comfortable, and looked out the window at the bright white moonlight shining on the snow-capped mountains, secretly lost in thought.

The border guards are hard and boring.

In the morning, it was just dawn.

A sharp and piercing whistle broke the calm of the border guard station.

The whistle fell, a commotion followed, and lights lit up in various rooms.

Everyone dug out their toiletries from under their beds, rushed to the sink in the shower room opposite the dormitory, and lined up to get water for washing.

It had been a long time since Chen Ming had experienced the feeling of being a soldier in a grassroots company. When he heard the whistle, he got up in confusion, with faint dark circles hanging around his eyes.

Shen Zufei, the bald man on the upper bunk, rolled out of bed and saw Chen Ming looking like he had not woken up. He said happily: "What's wrong? Didn't you sleep well last night?"

Chen Ming raised his eyebrows slightly, glanced at him, and then glanced at the squad leader Xiong Changjiu not far away. There was a hint of resentment in his eyes, and he hesitated to speak. In the end, he didn't say a word, but sighed helplessly, I took the washbasin and went out to wash up.

The bald man looked at Chen Ming with confusion, his eyes were a little confused, and he didn't understand what was wrong with this new soldier.

Monitor Xiong Jiujiu also scratched his head in confusion. As soon as he got up, he saw Chen Ming's resentful eyes. He didn't know what happened.

Only Zhao Haojie, a medical soldier, and Li Yan, who boasted about his martial arts training all day long, knew the answer in their minds. They looked at each other while sitting on the upper bunk, covering their mouths and laughing secretly.

The two of them took out cotton earplugs from their ears at the same time. Although this thing could not block too many sonic attacks, it could always be a psychological comfort.

At this time, Chen Ming was already standing in front of the sink, his face still full of tiredness. While brushing his teeth, he couldn't help but think of last night after turning off the lights.

Originally, he was looking at the scenery outside and lamenting that the conditions of the border guards were quite difficult. Who would have thought, but here he was lost in emotion, and the sounds of bullfrogs came one after another.

The monitor, Xiong Changjiu, and the bald man on the upper bunk, good guys, the snoring sounds are similar to thunder and drumming. One is attacking from a distance, and the other is releasing it from above, playing in a loop in the dormitory 360 degrees without blind spots.Chen Ming had long been accustomed to sleeping in a single room without being disturbed by others. Now he couldn't accept the snoring that penetrated his eardrums. He could be said to have been suffering in bed all night.

I finally stayed up until about three o'clock in the morning with my eyes wide open. I finally felt sleepy, so I slowly fell asleep despite the noise.

But just when he was half asleep and half awake, the temperature suddenly dropped, and the cold wind blew straight into the dormitory. The little sleepiness he had just cultivated completely disappeared.

After being kept up all night, it was strange that I could sleep at all.

After finishing washing despite being sleepy and blowing in the cold morning wind, Chen Ming finally woke up and felt energetic.

After returning to the dormitory, he quickly changed his clothes and tidied up his housework. Then, under the leadership of the squad leader, he ran outside the dormitory to gather.

At this time, company commander Wu Xueliang and instructor Geng Yanrong were already standing in front.

Watching the three platoons of the entire second company of border defense gather together.

Chen Ming stood there and was about to wait. When he started a new day of training, squad leader Xiong Jiujiu suddenly reached out and poked him with his elbow.

"Old Chen, it's time to run later."

"Yes, I know." Chen Ming responded doubtfully. Isn't it normal to run in the army during morning exercises?

Is this a special explanation?He is not a new recruit, but he is still a veteran.

"No, I mean you don't have to run with us, just sneak behind us."

"We are at a high altitude. You may have been stronger since you arrived yesterday. Xiao Zhao also checked your pulse. You can handle it without altitude sickness for the time being."

"But don't be careless. Everyone who comes here will first face plateau hypoxia. Once the body exercises, its heartbeat and breathing will accelerate, and then dizziness, headache, fever, and even eye congestion will occur."

"Our outpost is equipped with oxygen inhalation, eye protection and other medical equipment for altitude sickness. You may not be able to use it for the time being, but you must not run with us."

"Get used to it slowly first, and then talk about it after a month."

a month? ! ! !
Chen Ming smiled bitterly. If he could adapt to it for a month, then why would he come here?
Going from the National Defense University to the grassroots army is not just for the sake of enjoyment.

"Thank you monitor, I."

Originally, Chen Ming wanted to say that he could bear it, but before he could say anything, the company commander stood in front and shouted: "Everyone is here, run and walk!"

The entire team of the Second Border Defense Company moved upon hearing the order. Under the command of the company commander, three platoons and six NO.70 soldiers ran wildly and went straight out of the company gate.

Looking at the direction, the destination should still be the same place where we rushed up the slope last night.

There is no serious training ground here in the Second Border Defense Company. In other words, the hillside is their training ground.

The single and parallel bars are so rotten that they can't be used at all. Even if they can be used, they won't be able to support the entire company's morning exercises.

Therefore, in this place, sprinting is their morning exercise.

Chen Ming didn't care whether he was hanging around behind or not. As soon as he left the company gate, he clenched his fists and was ready to charge.

But at this moment, the squad leader running in front of him roared like a brown bear, which startled Chen Ming. With his big body, his voice was like thunder on the ground, and then his body was like a cannonball, brave of ejaculation.

The entire Second Company of Border Guard seemed to have long been accustomed to this sound. Using the voice as a command, the entire company began to sprint.

Good guy, the warm-up hasn’t even started yet, and the morning exercise has already reached its peak.

Chen Ming calmed down and was about to compete, but before he could run out, medical soldier Zhao Haojie suddenly ran up to him and reached out to hold him.

"Wait a minute, Lao Chen, you can't run. My mission this morning is to keep an eye on you to prevent you from running too hard and rolling your eyes."

"Let me tell you, if the hypoxia is too severe and you can't breathe on the plateau, lying on the ground like a dog with your butt stuck out is the easiest way to relieve your pain. Don't do it because the posture is awkward."

"This is the secret to saving your life. Remember, you can't always carry an oxygen bottle with you."

"Also, you saw the slope yesterday. Even though the slope is only a few hundred meters high, it is quite difficult to run because of its steepness."

"You don't have to rush today, just jog to adapt to the environment here."

Chen Ming nodded. He also knew this. During the selection of Longya, he devoted a period of time to practicing this slope sprint, and he still trained in anaerobic state.

Because Longya performs tasks most of the time on plateaus, and does training on plains. In order to not suffer losses during combat, the man-made environment during selection and training is much harsher than here.

He knows the difference between running uphill and running on flat ground.

With a year's training experience from Long Ya, coupled with his strong physical fitness, Chen Ming is really not afraid of the environment here.

Before Zhao Haojie could react, Chen Ming reached out and patted his shoulder, and said with a slight smile: "Thank you, Zhao, but I still want to try."

After saying that, Chen Ming bowed his waist and rushed towards the large group of people a hundred meters away like an arrow from the string.

This sudden movement shocked the medical soldier Zhao Haojie to the point where his eyes were splitting. He knew medical science and knew that without acclimation to the high altitude, if he forcibly increased the amount of training, he would really die.

"Chen Ming, stop quickly."

Zhao Haojie was so anxious that his voice could not be transmitted at all because Chen Ming was too fast and the wind was too strong in the early morning.

Company commander Wu Xueliang heard the movement here and turned around to see Chen Ming sprinting behind the team. He was also startled.

Just now I was just arranging for the company to set off, why did I forget about the new comrades?

Seeing that something was wrong, the company commander ran away and started chasing Chen Ming. At the same time, he pointed at Zhao Haojie and ordered: "Go, get oxygen, goggles, and pills, and be ready for rescue at any time."

"Yes, Captain."

This was not the first time they had seen the second company of the Border Guard behave like Chen Ming's reckless behavior.

As a soldier, who would admit that he is weaker than others? ! !
The young and energetic soldiers who were arranged to come here were often not allowed to participate in the morning exercises, so they would secretly follow them for a while. As a result, many of them fell to the ground and fell unconscious.

In severe cases, the eyes may even be bloodshot, and some people need to be rescued on the spot.

The plateau environment, looking at the thousands of miles of snow-capped mountains and the blue sky, seems to be a beautiful environment, but it is full of dangers all the time.

Wu Xueliang didn't dare to be careless. This was a new comrade assigned yesterday. If an accident happened today, it wouldn't be a big deal if he took off his military uniform, but for such a young child, how could he shoulder this responsibility?

He was chasing behind, Chen Ming was running in front, and the large troops were running at the front. The strong wind of level [-] or [-] was pouring in, and the sound could not be transmitted at all.

What's more, the border defense troops' morning sprint exercises are different from those of ordinary troops. When ordinary troops do morning exercises, they must control the formation and keep everyone at the same speed. It looks neat and beautiful.

But here, it doesn't matter whether you are in formation or not. Everyone is like a monkey, minding their own business and rushing towards the top of the hillside.

No one paid attention to the slightly funny scene behind it.

By the time all the soldiers of the Second Border Guard Company rushed to the bottom of the hillside, the queue was already in chaos.

Chen Ming followed closely and mingled with the crowd, running with them.

At first, there were too many people and he arrived too late. The road ahead was blocked and he could not increase his speed.

He could only watch his squad leader and a few physically stronger veterans showing off in the front.

After rushing five to sixty meters, the people gradually dispersed, and Chen Ming began to show off his power.

Occasionally using his hands and feet together, his body was as agile as an ape, and he kept rushing upwards, and soon surpassed Xiong Jiujiu, who was in the first echelon.

And maintain a far ahead speed.

The sudden "strong enemy" startled several victorious soldiers of the second company, and they all looked up.

At this time, company commander Wu Xueliang also chased him to the bottom of the mountain. He looked up and saw that Chen Ming's speed was not slowing down, but he did not feel any physical discomfort.

Then he slowly let go of his impatient heart, shook his head helplessly, and stared at the figure in front of him, looking expectantly.
