Beijing, Central Military District Archives.
Rows of information cabinets were neatly arranged in the hall.
This place contained the detailed information and information of the troops all over the country.
Ning Fan and Bing Bing contacted the archives of the Central Military Region through the higher-ups of the television station.
The archives decided to open up some access to support their work.
After all, they were able to promote the border guards on such a national program.
The higher-ups of the military region were also very willing to cooperate.
This was because border guards had always been one of the most difficult jobs in the army.
If they could publicize them, more people would understand and care about the hardships of the border defense.
This would be a very meaningful thing.
Although Ning Fan and Bing Bing had obtained partial access to the archives, they could not directly enter the archives to freely browse through the files.
Instead, there was a special person in charge of accompanying and receiving them.
The two of them only needed to make their own requests, and someone would go to the archives to conduct an electronic search.
When they arrived at the conference room, the archives staff asked them what specific requirements they had.
After all, there were a lot of border guards. It would take more than a week to finish reading the introduction of the troops.
Ning Fan then brought up his previous idea.
"We want to know which side of the border is the hardest to guard."
The archives staff said without hesitation.
"The western border, the plateau and the snowy mountains are the hardest to guard."
"Not only are the natural conditions there difficult, but the living conditions are also very difficult."
"Although the equipment and technology have been greatly improved,"
"But accidents happen there all year round."
"The risk factor is very high."
Ning Fan and Bing Bing's hearts sank when they heard the introduction from the staff of the archives.
Scenes of ice and snow on the mountain instantly appeared in his mind.
The biting cold wind and the white field of vision.
If the soldiers guarding the border were not careful, they might fall into the ice cliff.
After the sacrifice, even the bones might not be found.
They could only bury their bones in the snowfield and guard the snowfield forever.
Bing Bing said immediately.
"I've decided. I'll interview the border guards on the western border plateau and snow mountain."
"Please provide us with an introduction to the company."
Naturally, the archives staff would not give them the hard copy of the information.
Because it involved the military advisor's secret.
The archives staff brought up the projector and used the archives system to bring up some of the information of the companies stationed at the western border for a brief introduction.
"Unit number 8*** Company 4, stationed at the western border of Laga Mountain. The company has received three national commendations and eight military commendations. In the past ten years, eight people have died while stationed at the border!”
"Unit number 9*** Company 2, stationed at the Donggula Plateau at the western border. The company has received four national commendations and seven military commendations. In the past ten years, 14 people have died while guarding the border!”
" Unit number 6***1 Company, stationed at the western border…"
As the staff of the archives introduced each company one by one.
The number of sacrifices was shocking.
Every year, a company would sacrifice an average soldier at the border defense.
Ning Fan and Bing Bing's hearts could not help but become heavier.
One could imagine how difficult the border defense mission was and how harsh the environment was.
Moreover, the observation posts and garrison bases were often set up in very remote places.
It was closer to the town, and the road conditions were better. They could even use cars to transport supplies from the town.
If the road conditions were not good, they could only rely on horses or manpower to pull the supplies.
Although they were promoting self-cultivation, there were still some bases with poor conditions that were not enough.
He could only rely on canned food that had been prepared in advance and eat it after heating it up.
Thinking of this.
Ning Fan and Bing Bing decided to edit the video with this theme.
When the archives staff was introducing them one by one.
Ning Fan's eyes lit up as he looked at the projector.
" Unit number 6***6 Company, stationed at the Dagu Glacier on the western border, has received commendations for the past ten years…"
What made Ning Fan's eyes light up was not how many commendations the company had received, but the fact that the company did not have any sacrifice statistics!
He had some understanding of the Dagu Glacier.
Because Ning Fan liked to read the National Geography magazine, there was an issue that was dedicated to introducing the Dagu Glacier.
That was the most remote area of Xia country.
The average altitude was above 4000 meters, especially the highest ice field of Dagu Glacier, which could reach 6000 meters.
There were countless cracks in the ice.
Moreover, due to the lack of people, there were many ferocious wild animals.
Carrying out missions in such an extreme environment was probably one of the most dangerous!
It was really lonely at the top!
Other places would sacrifice one or two people every year. The number of people sacrificed here would probably be even more terrifying!
Ning Fan hurriedly asked.
"Excuse me, why aren't there any casualties from the 6th Company?"
"Is it because too many people have been sacrificed?”
When the archives staff heard his question, they were slightly stunned.
But he quickly reacted and added with a smile.
"Oh, you want to know about this?"
"But it's exactly the opposite of what you think."
"The troops stationed at Dagu Glacier have never lost a soldier in the past ten years."
"The soldiers who have been stationed there for the longest time have already been there for ten years."
"Their company is very famous in the western border defense."
" It's known as a glacier land aircraft carrier, the kind that will never capsize."
After hearing the staff member's explanation, Ning Fan became very interested and continued to ask.
" Isn't the Dagu Glacier the most dangerous ice field terrain?"
"Why didn't anyone sacrifice themselves?"
"Could it be that the location is relatively safe?”
These questions were also the doubts in Bing Bing's heart. She also wanted to know how this company had not lost a single soldier in the past ten years.
The archives staff was very familiar with this company because it was too famous.
He also knew some rumors about this company.
At that time, a higher-up in the central military region had taken a fancy to the company and wanted to transfer them to Yanjing to take up important positions.
However, the entire company was very determined to continue guarding the border.
That kind of iron-forged perseverance made the Bureau Chief sigh in admiration.
They praised them for being glacial land aircraft carriers.
Therefore, he explained to Ning Fan and Bing Bing.
"Actually, this company used to have the highest sacrifice rate."
"It's not an exaggeration to say that it's a company of death!”
"But the strange thing is that no one has sacrificed since ten years ago."
"And their team members all attributed the credit for safety to their current company captain, Tang Chen."
Tang Chen?
Ning Fan and Bing Bing were even more puzzled.
What kind of ability did this company captain have to be on duty for ten years without any accidents?
They even made the higher-ups praise them for being glacial land aircraft carriers.
As professional hosts and reporters, their first reaction was that there was a story to be dug out!
The two pairs of eyes stared at the screen, looking forward to the next introduction.
The archives staff continued.
"Tang Chen joined the army at the age of 18 and was transferred to the western border defense."
" After that, he has been carrying out border defense missions in Dagu Glacier for the next ten years."
"Because of his outstanding performance, he was soon promoted to the company captain."
"Although he's a captain, he's already a major."
"At that time, he was chosen by a chief, but Tang Chen declined the invitation."
"Continue to lead the team to guard the border of Dagu Glacier."
"This spirit is indeed admirable!”
After listening to the staff's introduction, Ning Fan and Bing Bing made up their minds.
This time, the company to be interviewed would be the 6th Company, and the focus would be on their captain.
Bing Bing asked anxiously.
"Please tell us the contact information of the 6***6 Company."
"We have decided to interview this Glacier Land Carrier!”
The staff of the archives asked them to wait for a moment while he went to ask his superiors.
Ning Fan and Bing Bing waited in the meeting room for a few minutes.
Not long after, the archives staff rushed back excitedly and said.
" The chief agreed. He said to contact the Western Military Region now."
"Send me the news you want to interview."
"You can prepare to set off at any time."
When the two of them heard this, they could not help but smile and nod in thanks. Then, they asked,
"Can we take a look at the situation of the company members?"
"We were wondering if we could bring the family of one of the soldiers to visit."
"It's almost the 30th of the New Year."
"Presumably, they haven't returned to see their families for a long time."
The staff of the archives was very cooperative and pulled out the relevant information of the company's family members.
In the end, the two of them decided to choose a relative of the warrior named Duo Duo.
Many mothers were just about to celebrate their 50th birthday.
His physical condition and age were more suitable.
After all, they were on the plateau. If they were too old, their physical condition would not be good.
If he went, he would be afraid of danger and accidents.
After the interview targets were set, other related preparations were carried out in an orderly manner.
