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

Chapter 305: How can there be peace in the years? It’s just that some people are carrying a heavy load and moving forward.
This new comrade is very strong. This is the unified voice of the soldiers of the Second Company of Border Guard who are watching the excitement.

But he's too strong to be serious.

This kid obviously has superb fighting skills and strong physical fitness, but he just doesn't fight head-on and just drags the other four people from the second class around the training area.

The squad leader, Xiong Jiuchang, was left panting and sitting on the ground unable to get up. The bald man was so tired that even the oxygen mask was placed on his head, but he was still jumping around.

Li Yan, the "martial arts master" who was targeted first, was sitting on the ground, his jaw almost dropped. He had never convinced anyone, but this time he was completely convinced by Chen Ming.

Damn, this kid is so physically capable and his reaction speed is so fast. Fighting him is like fighting a large civet cat. You can't hit him, but he will punch you at any time.

He won't stand there and fight you at all.

There's a weirdo in class two.

In the end, the brawl lasted for nearly two and ten minutes. Wu Bing, the guy with the highest force value in the company, also gave up and lay on the ground in a mess in his military uniform.

His eyes were full of doubts.

Something was wrong, eight out of ten, something was wrong. Chen Ming's skills and physical fitness should not be a first-term non-commissioned officer in an ordinary army.

There are many kings of soldiers in the army, especially the old non-commissioned officers in the border defense regiment who are older than themselves. Wu Bing usually does not dare to raise his head and look directly at others when he sees them.

Not out of fear, but out of respect.

But when those people were at their most glorious, they were not as outrageous as Chen Ming. He had seen special forces and people from Longya. The Second Company of the Border Guard once participated in an encirclement and suppression of a gang that sold tobacco and soil.

Because that mission was too dangerous, they only carried out peripheral security. It was that time that he witnessed the grace of the special forces.

Even though I had not seen them fighting at that time, I could never forget their unique grace after taking one look at them.

There was an instinctive feeling in my heart that in such an open area with bunkers everywhere, I would rather learn from Wu Song and provoke tigers than provoke warriors of that level.

In that encirclement and suppression, the whole company did not participate in the battle, but in the end the collective second-class merit was given to them, which made Wu Bing feel that that unit was even more mysterious.

Looking at Chen Ming's ability today, he sincerely felt that even if that army came, the soldiers in it would only be able to perform like this at most, right?
There is nothing special about the first batch of non-commissioned officers, but a non-commissioned officer who is so strong is a treasure in any army, even if the army is reorganized and temporarily disbanded.

If there is no one in the company, the battalion will definitely want to leave. If not, the brigade will also want to leave, because it is impossible for such a person to be unknown in the original army.

Wu Bing felt that the people transferred from the Second Border Defense Company this time might not stay here long. It was purely intuitive. Even if he had no real evidence, but through Chen Ming's performance today, he felt that the other party would not stay here long.

This kind of situation is not unheard of. In the past, soldiers would often be transferred to the staff, stay for a few months and then leave. However, it is really rare for a staff to be staffed by one person.

Chen Ming was also sitting on the ground, breathing heavily. The potion could restore his physical condition, but not his mental state.

For more than 20 minutes, he kept trying to find ways to deal with it. Facing three or four veterans who cooperated extremely well, he couldn't resist.

The whole battle was hard-earned.

Several people gasped, looked at each other, and all laughed. At this moment, perhaps, in their eyes, Chen Ming was no longer the new comrade who needed to be taken care of all the time.

After resting, the fight continued, but this time no one was gearing up and looking forward to teaming up with Chen Ming.

Leave him, the most troublesome scoundrel, to Wu Bing, who is also the most troublesome. Anyway, both of them are difficult to deal with.

In contrast, Li Yan, who clamored every day that he had learned martial arts, looked like a soft persimmon and was assigned to the squad leader to deal with.

Bald Man and the medical soldier were left to continue the confrontation.

Time passed by, and Chen Ming soon spent half a month in the Second Company of Border Defense.

During this period, he was almost isolated from the world. He didn't know the status of his further studies at the National Defense University, and he didn't know the current development stage of the 169th Brigade.

I just occasionally took advantage of my cell phone to turn on to report to my family and Chai Shuyao that they were safe, and to send a message to Du Longfei and the others in the Tiger Wolf Camp to explain that they were short on time for training.

He didn’t mention a word about the hardships faced by border guards.

It seemed that the news of the Strategic Assault Division had escaped from his sight and truly integrated into the border defense forces.

There is no mystery here. October is the time to wear short-sleeved shirts in the south, but in this place where the average temperature is minus [-] degrees Celsius, only cotton-padded clothes are the only option.

The wind only blows here once a year, once for a year, with an average of seven or eight levels.

There are no fat people here. When he first arrived, Chen Ming thought that squad leader Xiong Jiuchang had absorbed well, was big, and had eaten a lot of fat. Later he found out that it was edema. In fact, many soldiers had edema, but they were too thin to be seen.

The wind blows the rocks here, and grass does not grow all year round. To get water here, you have to go out on business and follow the comrades in the cooking class for more than an hour to dig ice in the distant lake.

Use a hammer to dig one meter deep to see the water.

Standing guard here is not like ordinary troops. The sentry duty is only for four to 10 minutes no matter day or night. At that time, you must enter the dormitory to keep warm. If the time is too long, people will freeze to death, and even the soles of their feet will freeze with the ground, making them unable to move.

During this period, their second squad participated in a rescue. It was the night of a patrol. Soldiers from one squad in three platoons accidentally rolled down a snow-capped mountain of more than 300 meters on their way down the mountain after overhauling equipment.

Received an emergency assembly order.

There were too many people to arrive at the first time, so Chen Ming and medical soldier Zhao Haojie took the lead and took the lead with medical equipment and ran all the way to the scene of the incident.

There are medical soldiers in every squad, and every soldier knows some basic rescue, but Zhao Haojie knows more.

When Chen Ming arrived at the place, he saw a scene that made him cry for the rest of his life.

The border guard who fell down the mountain was just a new recruit with a limp, and he had woken up in the arms of the squad leader.

His face was so young, only eighteen or nineteen years old. He clenched his fists and beat his chest continuously, his eyes were closed tightly, and his face turned purple.

"Monitor. I feel sorry for you, monitor. I feel so sorry for you, monitor."

I just cried out that it hurt, but I couldn't tell where it hurt.

The heart-breaking scream made the squad leader of the third row heartbroken and his eyes were red, but he didn't know where the soldier in his arms was hurting, and there was nothing he could do.

Later I learned that chest pain is also the most common phenomenon caused by hypoxia at high altitudes.

These experiences were all experienced by Chen Ming personally, and these knowledge were all real things that happened before his eyes.

Zhao Haojie wiped his tears at that time. He was a doctor. Anyone could cry, but he couldn't. He half-knelt on the ground and checked the soldiers' whole bodies to avoid hidden injuries. If the weather was too cold, too much blood loss would be troublesome.

After confirming that the external injury was not serious, he quickly checked his pulse and confirmed that there was no problem with his internal organs. Fortunately, God was kind and he was not seriously injured.

That night.

Chen Ming and others formed a circle outside, standing next to each other, to resist the cold wind on the plateau and create an environment for the wounded to recover.

The heart-wrenching shouts gradually improved after being massaged by the medical soldiers and receiving oxygen.

That night, all the Second Company of Border Guard, except the soldiers on duty, were mobilized to form a large circle. The people on the outermost perimeter could not bear it anymore, so they were replaced.

It wasn't until daybreak when the road could be seen clearly that he carefully carried the wounded back to the station.

In just the past three days, the injured person continued to participate in daily training. Chen Ming encountered and saw similar things several times in the past half month.

This week, it was their turn to patrol.

At five o'clock in the morning, the sky outside was still dark, and the moon was still high in the sky with its bright moonlight.

However, in the second squad of the second platoon of the border defense company, the alarm bell was already ringing.

When everyone heard the bell, they immediately got up and the lights in the room also turned on.

All the soldiers quickly put on their clothes, grabbed their own basins and toiletries, and rushed to the sink to wash up.

Chen Ming was no exception, but before going to wash up, he took out two small cloth bags filled with cotton from his ears and put them away carefully.

In his eyes, this is no longer an ordinary little bag, but an artifact that can ensure his sleep.

Although this thing cannot be completely soundproofed, it is better than nothing. The thunderous snoring of monitor Xiong Jiuchang and the bald man on the upper bunk is finally not so scary.

This was also done specially for him by the medical soldier Zhao Haojie. After getting along with him for half a month, he found that the second class was really talented.

Especially this medical soldier, not only has superb medical skills at a young age, he is also a good young man who is cold on the outside and hot on the inside. On the surface, he usually doesn't want to say a word, but when necessary, he is usually the first to stand up.

Moreover, he is also the treasure chest in the class. He has everything from needles and threads to potions.

Maybe it's because Chinese medicine emphasizes massage. This kid is also very handy and can do needlework. Those two earplugs were sewed for him by medical soldier Zhao Haojie on the afternoon of the second day after Chen Minggang came to the Second Company of Border Defense.

In the past two days, he had discovered that Li Yan, the bald man and squad leader in the class, would call him at the top of his lungs whenever he needed something.

Zhao Haojie is like the nanny in the class, or the mother in the class, always silently serving these comrades who don't want to take care of themselves.

He did the same with Chen Ming, except that Chen Ming didn't like to trouble others. He had his own documents and didn't use them much when there were orderlies.

Not to mention comrades.

Everyone was quiet after getting up, trying not to make any noise.

After washing up, under the leadership of the platoon leader, everyone went to the equipment warehouse to receive their weapons and equipment.The Second Company of the Border Guard is equipped with Type 03 automatic rifles, and it is necessary to carry live ammunition when going on patrol.

After the equipment was completed, platoon leader Cao Fei gathered everyone at the entrance of the equipment depot.

"Today's patrol is as usual. Each class is divided into groups to conduct patrols. We must be vigilant at all times. If there is an emergency, we will use the walkie-talkie to contact us. Do you understand?"

"clear!!"

"Okay, check again the equipment and tools you each brought, and remind each other not to forget to bring them."

"After checking, get ready to go."

Most of the equipment mentioned by the platoon leader is required by the squad leader, such as tools for repairing cameras and pliers, which are used to mend the barbed wire fence on the border.

There are also some brushes and paints, which are needed to make the fonts more vivid on the boundary monuments to avoid fading.

Chen Ming had nothing to bring. The task assigned to him was to bring some pills, water, oxygen bottles and goggles.

After checking.

Cao Fei waved his hand directly: "Class [-], Class [-], set off separately, Class [-] follow me!"

Everyone moved upon hearing the sound and walked out of the company gate together.

Amid the salutes of the soldiers on guard, the three squads parted ways.

The border lines managed by the Second Border Defense Company are actually very long. If a platoon gathers together to patrol, it will take a day and two nights to completely inspect the entire border line.

In order to improve efficiency, they can only operate in separate shifts.

The reason why Cao Fei took the second class was because the number of people in their class was too small. Even if Chen Ming came, there were only six people.

In order to ensure that the number of people in each class is the same, the platoon leader can only come over to supplement the number of people. Once an emergency occurs, one more person can add more strength.

Although this was Chen Ming's first time patrolling the mountains, it was not the first time he set out on these roads. He had gone out for rescue before, but he still felt a little curious and hopeful.

In fact, he knew very well that there was nothing to look forward to in such an event.

Because mountaineering is different from the imagined outing. At least there is a path for you to enjoy the natural scenery leisurely along the way.

However, mountaineering is to go to the peaks of deep mountains where no one has access. It can even be said to be paving the way through mountains and wading through water. Every step of the way is very difficult.

The path of the mountain patrol is not fixed, and it is impossible to reach the point where "it becomes a road when there are more people walking on it".

The purpose of patrolling has never been to catch stowaways, poachers, criminals, etc., but to act as a deterrent.

Let those who want to cross the border know that it is patrolled and guarded, so that they do not dare to cross at will.

If you always follow the same route and the same time period when patrolling, it will be easy for criminals to discover this information.

At that time, people will think that as long as they bypass these routes or stagger the time of the troops patrolling the mountain, there will be basically no danger.

As a result, the role of mountain patrols is almost zero.

For example, their current patrol time and routes are not fixed, so many criminals can't help but worry. What if they happen to run into each other when they cross the border?
With such concerns, they naturally do not dare to cross the line at will.

What's more, some veterans with rich experience, even if they keep changing routes, will be able to detect if someone has recently walked on some sections of the road.

The difficulty of walking is only one aspect. The most unbearable thing is the cold wind. Everyone must wear a thick cotton hat and goggles.

They should also walk closer to each other to avoid strong winds covering their eyes and causing the crowd to disperse, which would delay the patrol process.

There are not no mosquitoes on the snowy mountains, but the mosquitoes here cannot fly, their wings have degraded, and they grow in the snow and ice. I heard other soldiers say that these are called "ice and snow mosquitoes" and they are not a big threat.

Faced with the thick equipment of border guards, no matter how cool the mosquito is, it's useless because it can't fly anyway.

The wind was freezing, and a group of people walked from dusk to dawn. Walking in this uninhabited place at a high altitude, they were tortured both physically and mentally.

But no one cried bitterness, let alone tiredness.

At noon, platoon leader Cao Fei led them to a sheltered foothill, took out some charcoal that the company had burned from his bag, and placed it on the ground.

I also arranged for someone to take the basin I brought with me to a place where the snow is thicker, and dig some snow over.

Chen Ming's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard that he could finally eat. In this icy and snowy environment, a mouthful of hot rice, regardless of whether it was nutritious or not, would bring a lot of heat to the body.

Forget about the comfort.

Everyone also smiled and started to get busy. The platoon leader and squad leader took engineering shovels to dig out the smokeless stove.

Xiong Jiuchang gave several basins he brought to Chen Ming and medical soldier Zhao Haojie.

"You two also go to a place with thick snow and bring back some snow to boil water later."

"But don't go too far. They are all snow-capped mountains here. They all look exactly the same. The terrain is uneven. It will be difficult to find them if they get separated."

When Xiong Jiuchang spoke, his eyes focused on Chen Ming.

After all, the others were all veterans, but Chen Ming was the only one who had followed him so far for the first time, so he naturally had to give a warning.

Chen Ming nodded solemnly, and then followed the medical soldier Zhao Haojie in the same direction.

Although this is a snow-capped mountain and there is snow underfoot, after all, in some backlit areas, the snow is blown over and there is not much left on the ground.

You have to be careful about how much water you boil. You don’t need the top layer, nor the bottom layer. Only the middle part of the snow layer. If it’s too thin, it will reach the ground when you rub it with your hands, making it impossible to drink. .

The two of them, one foot deep and one foot shallow, walked all the way against the cold wind.

Chen Ming looked back at the platoon leader's position and asked casually: "Old Zhao."

"Huh? You say?"

Maybe it was because the wind and snow were too strong and Zhao Haojie's voice was louder, so he was afraid that Chen Ming wouldn't be able to hear him.

Chen Ming hesitated for a moment, looked down at the basin, then at the platoon leader, and finally asked his doubts.

"Old Zhao, how come I noticed that our platoon leader has no expression on his face?"

"I've been here for half a month and I haven't seen him smile once. Is something wrong?"

Usually at the station, although Chen Ming had doubts, he didn't have much chance to ask.

Because the squad leader and the others were around, they were too embarrassed to inquire about the platoon leader's affairs behind his back.

When Chen Ming first arrived, he found that the new platoon leader was similar to Zhao Lifei, the former squad leader of the recruit company, but the more he looked at it, the more he felt something was wrong.

Zhao Lifei simply has unattractive facial features and a dark complexion. In addition, the supervisor has to put on airs, so he doesn't like to laugh.

But Cao Fei's facial features were not bad, but he had a sullen face all day long. He didn't smile to the squad leader or other soldiers. He looked at everything indifferently, a bit like a monk with six pure roots and no desires.

To say that he had no expression, Chen Ming had seen happiness, anger, and surprise in his eyes, but his facial muscles seemed to have not changed, as if they were frozen.

Hearing Chen Ming's question, Zhao Haojie let out a long sigh and said with a wry smile: "You just came here, so it's normal to be unclear."

"It's not that our platoon leader doesn't smile, it's that his expression will never change at all in his life."

"It's not far from the truth. The year before last, in the first half of the year, the platoon leader encountered gangsters during a patrol. He fought at close range and was severely hit on the back of the head by the butt of a rifle. He was rescued for a day and a night and was out of danger. , but the facial nerves were damaged, causing complete facial paralysis.”

Zhao Haojie said, paused, forced a smile and added: "Fortunately, it's not too serious, and it didn't become the kind of situation where facial expressions are uncontrollable, otherwise it would be like the first company commander."

"My face will twitch automatically and it looks weird."

"So, every time we practice fighting and confrontation, our platoon has the longest prescribed time and is also the platoon with the most intense confrontation."

"The platoon leader doesn't want the same tragedy to happen to us. He is using his own method to strictly demand us and protect us."

Hearing this, Chen Ming was stunned again.

He didn't expect that Cao Fei, the platoon leader he met from the beginning, would have such an experience.

He was not the only one to have the same experience, but also the commander of the first border defense company.

Although the two of them had already walked far away at this time, they could not see the busy figures of the platoon leader and squad leader.

But the respect still arises in my heart, looking at the white snow in the sky and feeling the strong mountain wind.

Chen Ming felt unspeakably melancholy in his heart.

How can there be any quiet time?It’s just that someone is carrying the burden for us.
