Dagu Glacier at the border of Xia Country.
A convoy of white camouflage military uniforms was driving in the snow and ice.
However, it was still much lighter than the previous snowfall, and he could see further into the distance.
After a long journey, everyone was exhausted.
But his heart was burning.
Not long after.
Red and yellow lights flashed in the distance!
There was a lighthouse in front of them that was shining brightly.
When Ning Fan saw this scene through the windshield, his heart couldn't help but heat up.
After such a long journey, they were finally reaching their destination!
The place where the lights were flashing was the garrison base of Dagu Glacier.
It was like a guiding star in the vast sea.
Ning Fan quickly asked the cameraman to point the camera at the lighthouse.
In the evening, in the vast snowstorm.
In the distance, a bright light was flashing.
The lights stood alone in the wind and snow, far less colorful than the neon lights in the city!
But this lamp represented the motherland!
This scene was also shared by the netizens in the live broadcast room.
"Is that the border garrison base?!”
"D * mn, we're finally here. Do we have to drive for so long?”
"I'm so touched. I didn't expect to see the snow on the border of our motherland!”
"If it weren't for the good weather, I'm afraid we would have to walk!”
"How can such bad weather be considered good? Oh my god, what would that blizzard look like?”
"When the blizzard comes, I'm afraid I'll have to take refuge on the spot and wait for the blizzard to pass before I can continue moving forward. Therefore, digging a hole to hide from the blizzard and starving for two days is very normal!”
"I'm stunned!"
Initially, the live broadcast signal wasn't very good, but the military satellite at the border station had strengthened it.
Only then could the live broadcast continue on the plateau.
Even though the scene was a little blurry and stuttered, it did not dampen the audience's enthusiasm.
Soon, the communications officer in the convoy contacted the station communications officer.
If they rashly drove into the control area of the station.
They might be attacked by firepower.
However, this rarely happened.
Occasionally, they would encounter wild wolves and wild beasts that came to the encampment to look for food. They would try their best to drive them away manually.
To avoid shooting and scaring the wild animals was also to protect the ecological environment here.
Although the terrain around the encampment was flat, it would be very troublesome if an avalanche were to occur.
After the two sides connected, they naturally connected smoothly.
The gate of the Dagu Glacier Garrison Base slowly opened.
Zheng Yuan's convoy drove straight into the base compound.
Division Commander Zheng led Ning Fan and the others out of the carriage.
Ning Fan immediately looked around to understand the surrounding buildings.
The encampment had a square layout.
There were three-meter-high cement reinforced walls all around.
The wall was connected to a high-voltage power grid.
Ordinary people would not be able to climb up at all.
The courtyard was very spacious, except for the guard booth at the main entrance.
There were houses on the other three sides.
Division Commander Zheng casually introduced him.
The building facing the main entrance was the main administrative building with three floors. It was usually used for office and reception purposes.
Both sides were two-story buildings.
The second floor was a dormitory.
The first floor was a public space with a kitchen, armory, and so on.
There was also a secret basement and cellar below.
The secret basement was for special purposes.
The cellar was a place to store drinking water and supplies.
The stationed troops had been notified by the Western Military Region in advance.
All the sensitive signs and decorations were put away to make it easier for the reporters to broadcast.
The person-in-charge of the station's non-commissioned officers came forward enthusiastically.
He stood at attention and saluted Commander Zheng Yuan.
"Greetings, teacher!"
Then, he shook hands with Ning Fan.
"Hello, comrade!"
Ning Fan hurriedly returned the greeting with a smile.
Zheng Yuan liked the troops stationed at Dagu Glacier, so he didn't put on airs.
After getting out of the car, they walked towards the main administrative building and chatted as they walked.
Zheng Yuan pulled the officer over and asked.
"Little Qiu, is Tang Chen not here?"
the officer explained hurriedly.
" Reporting to Division Commander, Colonel Tang is currently on duty for an inspection mission."
"I might be back later!"
Ning Fan was a little puzzled when he heard this.
He didn't know much about the specific content of the border duty mission.
They only knew that they had to patrol the border and the Boundary Steles.
So he asked carefully.
"It's already so late. Is Colonel Tang still on duty outside?”
When the officer saw that it was Ning Fan, a familiar face that he often saw on television, he explained carefully.
"Teacher Ning, it's winter now."
"From the usual one patrol a day to two patrols a day."
"Once in the morning and once at night."
"Because the snow is getting heavier. If we don't clean it up in time,"
"The Boundary Stone might be covered in snow and not be seen anymore."
"That's why I have to patrol every day."
"At the same time, we must prevent individual extremists from doing bad things in the snow."
"Colonel Tang is the captain."
"In this weather, he has to personally lead every patrol."
Ning Fan nodded after listening to the explanation. He soon understood.
Zheng Yuan, who was walking in the middle, stopped and frowned.
"Good heavens, can you take two classes a day?”
"Could this kid be like this every day for the past ten years?”
The officer explained in embarrassment.
"Reporting to Commander, it is indeed so."
"Colonel Tang is worried about the danger."
"That's why I personally lead every class."
"You also know how stubborn Colonel Tang is."
"I don't know how many times we've persuaded him."
"But it's useless."
"His military rank isn't as high as his, and he can't beat him. There's really nothing we can do!”
Hearing this, Ning Fan also sighed.
Tang Chen was really speechless.
It could be heard from the tone of these sergeants.
Tang Chen treated them well from the bottom of his heart, and they also treated Tang Chen as their closest person.
The group arrived at the reception room.
After turning on the heater, the temperature slowly rose.
Everyone felt a hint of warmth.
Because Bing Bing was not feeling well, she had been arranged to rest in a small bedroom. The military doctor said that she would feel much better after a night's sleep.
Many mothers heard that their sons were also patrolling outside. They wanted to make dumplings late at night and went to the kitchen to help.
The few old men continued to chat in the living room.
The live broadcast continued.
Officer Qiu explained.
Ning Fan basically understood the situation here.
There were a total of 131 border guards in the entire base.
There were two border observation posts and four boundary stones.
Apart from the soldiers in charge of logistics, there were a total of 90 soldiers who had to go out for border defense missions.
As the observation post and the four boundary stones were far away from the encampment, the missions were very difficult.
Among them, Boundary Stele No. 1 was the furthest and most dangerous.
Tang Chen ordered.
Without him, no one was allowed to inspect the furthest Boundary Stone No. 1.
When the weather was bad, they would bring a certain amount of dry food to live in the observation post, because they could not come back if they could not take shifts.
Therefore, Tang Chen had less time to return to the encampment. Sometimes, he could only rest for two hours at the encampment before setting off again.
Staying outside for two to three days was a common occurrence.
Over the past ten years, under Tang Chen's leadership.
Everyone knew the two border observation posts and the four boundary stones like the back of their hands.
Except for Boundary Stone No. 1, the other duty points could basically complete the inspection mission without Tang Chen.
Ning Fan wanted to know why the No. 1 World Stele was so dangerous, so he asked.
"Sir, is it convenient for you to tell us about Boundary Stone No. 1?"
Hence, Officer Qiu briefly explained the road conditions to Boundary Stone No. 1.
"There are many dangerous factors on the way to Boundary Stone No. 1."
"But the most important factors are the longest journey, the most ice cracks, and the highest altitude."
"And that road is often hunted by ferocious beasts."
"The wild beasts in the cold regions are a hundred times more ferocious than those in the forest."
"They are also often hungry."
"Colonel Tang is currently patrolling the No. 1 Boundary Stele."
Zheng Yuan slammed the table and said.
"So much nonsense."
"How dangerous is it? How will we know if we don't go and take a look?"
"Tang Chen isn't here anyway."
"I'll go and see him!"
"It's not snowing much outside!"
"Pack up and set off now!”
Ning Fan's heart was also moved when he heard Zheng Yuan's suggestion.
This was because the real scene captured during the mission would be even more moving!
On the contrary, a deliberate interview would lose the most direct emotion.
As a reporter, Ning Fan felt that there was a bright future for this matter.
Following that, he didn't care how Sergeant Qiu persuaded him.
Zheng Yuan was completely unmoved.
He was also someone who had trained in the snowfield for a long time. He was not an empty shell that looked strong on the outside but was weak on the inside.
Zheng Yuan, Ning Fan, the cameraman, the communicator, and the chauffeur. After putting on the equipment for climbing the snow mountain.
Although Officer Qiu was helpless, he still led the team out of safety considerations.
They staggered in the snow.
It was getting late.
Fortunately, the snowstorm was much lighter now.
If they had rushed over, they might have bumped into Tang Chen's team.
After all, they didn't need to be on duty.
He just had to hurry on!
